Hey y'all, i'm just asking whether you'd like WebOS running on the desire z. Think about it, the desire z would be AWESOME with webos, and it would be (relatively) easy to compile, since it's got the same processor as the Veer.
webOS is fine...
but i was hoping someone could make a windows mobile ROM... but that's clearly impossible since its not open source...
oh well... but i vote for webOS.... even if its not that good, it would help the developement...

Yep, that's my understanding as well. The hardware drivers don't exist, so they would have to be made from scratch. A huge amount of work to get what is . . .yes a dead OS onto our phone. So unless the OP or somebody he knows is planning to take this on as a project, this is kind of a pointless post.
Other than that, more variety on ROMs is always a good thing. If you don't want it, don't flash it. So there is no real "downside" to having WebOS ported over.
Other than the "because we can" aspects why webOS?
I would much prefer a windows phone Rom...

I'm new to here... but this poll really suit me, as I have currently a Desire Z & a Pre 3! I would love to have webOS on Desire Z but I prefer vertical keyboard. Horizontal keyboard is good but a bit too large for rapid typing.
So my answer is: if I don't have Pre 3, Excellent to have webOS on Desire Z. But since I have one already, it's also a good idea for me to have a Android phone, mostly for apps and games.

Well, "Everything is relative", a smart guy once said. So true. and i must admit, maybe i exaggerated a bit by saying "easy", 'cause nothing i've ever seen related to coding seems easy at all. i know nothing about coding, but i do know that if you can make the processor run without modifications, then the rest won't be too hard. After all, it is a SoC . I may be wrong, but i can't help it.
This would be more like Proof-of-Concept in my books...regardless, I'd definitely give it a whirl!
sorry, but i think i puked a little when i read the topic... I was using webos on my touchpad and damn it was more of a scientific demonstration of what it can do.. it's painfully unpolished.
I've never seen webos. Hellz bellz yeah ill ride that donkey for a day. It cannot possibly be any worse than Amazons horriibly kanged android.
I also want to see XP on it since the fella in that other thread brought it up. MSDOS too.

It would be interesting to see, but that's definitely a LOT of work.
Let's see that what's we have here? The most problem with porting job is linux kernel and drivers compatible and fully functionals working. We have some working Android kernel 3.x, the most close version compared with official Linux kernel, WebOS is based on Linux kernel also. If developers still interesting on porting it then they can do it a quite easy than the time before kernel 3.x got working.

I know its slow, but i'd love to try it. have any android devs spent any time on this?
seriously, i know people would be interested in this rom if devs got it ported (to the incredible!!), as evidence, look how many people like miui

there is a ton about this on google^
I know they say it runs super slow, but if someone worked on it i'm sure they could speed it up. (and it be pretty awesome anyway)
the thing is, i dont even know where the rom is (or if it exists, im starting to think it doesnt)
why the hell would you get an android phone to put an iphone theme(rom) on it???? sounds kinda stupid to me, why not just go buy an iphone??
Well it would be pretty cool to try. And the iPhone apps are pretty nice if they'd work.

Sorry to burst your bubble but it's not iOS. You can see that the wallpaper scrolls as the user scrolls through the different home screens. That implementation is only on Android. It's probably just a cleverly made skin (right down to folders) used to simulate the iPhone. The two OS' are written in two different Linux kernels which makes it incompatible to be ported.
Yeah it would be neat though.
MIUI with the iphone theme installed?

There are numerous stable builds of Gingerbread around this section, what are you waiting for?! Battery Life is also very acceptable on CM7 builds, much better than it was on CM6.
Just been looking at the Honeycomb emulator and it looks great, but I don't think it's built with the smartphone in mind.

but I thought it is only for tablet. Will we lose our fone function?
this would be too awesome, seems to be cyanogenmod8 is in production, tablets have fone function as well ... so it wont loose any !
+1 it would be really gr8 if someone do us this favor and develops a 3.0 ROM. That would be really awesome.
first of all, sdk's never give a good rom, and second this is just a preview
Ran it on my emulator. Pretty sweet. Though Honeycomb would be much worse since it's for the tablet freaks but looks pretty nice
who is hAve here a link rom honeycomb for dhd ?
Hi all
Due to being confused i have posted the same thread in Desire Genereal, Desire Q&A, General, WebOS Hacking&General and WebOS Development.
Please delete the wrong ones.
I was just wandering would it be possible and if there is any brave soul to port Web OS to desire. I have read a bit and would like to try this OS myself. Not rich enough to owe 3 mobiles though :/.
Just let me know if I'm asking/wanting impossible or it is doable and someone may take it on board.
thnx in advance for all replies
Regards

I think it should be possible to do it, due to the fact that it also runs on a linux kernel, maybe with somemods on haret it might work... only problem, does anyone have a dumped rom?
It would be a enormous amount of work to do honestly because all current versions of WebOS were designed with a gesture pad and Android phones do not have these. You'd have to figure out how to map all the gesture functions to hardware keys. You'd also have to figure out how to get a virtual keyboard working on the OS right away as the OS was only designed for use with a hardware keyboard.
For the keyboard, I would think that you would try to install the virtual keyboard via PC. That would require hacking to force detect the desire as a pre in webOS quick install or something
Then that still requires the mapping of gestures into hardware buttons
Don't question me about this, I'm not so knowledgable about modding software
It would be no easy task, but to say that the only things standing in the way of this working would be a virtual keyboard and remapping buttons isn't correct at all. In the kernel there are many a way to remap keys, not sure about the gesture pad, but it could work, and the virtual keyboard is just a patch so you could bake it into the rom itself. The whole issue, why noone has even tried is that it isn't legal.
It's all low resolution as well so your stuffed until the pre 3 is out.
As far as I know right now there are no sources for this until the launch of the Pre 3, it would be interesting to see though.
It could be done with some sweat and tears, but just like when it was being ported to the htc hero, webos will not allow it to be copyright

Read the beolw if you want, but for a start here is an interesting link for you:
http://pocketnow.com/software-1/no-palm-pre-go-pro-gesture-launch-on-your-touch-pro
The desire has an optical trackpad as opposed to the desire Z / G2's touchpad. But after realizing the difference in gestures from the video, that difference is kinda mute.
In the old winmo days someone said it was impossible to have mutli-touch on a resistive screen, until a talented dev wrote an sdk for it. It "cheated" by holding one finger in place and moving the other but even recognizing multiple screen inputs was amazing.
I'm kinda lukewarm / "meh" on the idea, but it would be cool to try webos on my own device (desire) just like trying Android on my Vogue (shipped with winmo) was cool. In fact, that's the reason I now own an android device!!!!!!!!!

I think the main problem we're facing now is that there are no 3.x kernel drivers available for most of the current devices. Once we have this, porting to a larger number of devices should be quite straight forward.
Is there's a Windows 7 ROM for the MT4G (or other Android phones). Not sure how difficult the coding would be to do or if anyone's even interested in doing one. From the quick scan I just had, I found nothing in the Development section.

I think it's possible because it's virtuously the same hardware that most W7 phone's work on.
But it will never happen because I can't imagine anyone taking their time to port over a W7 ROM. Would be too time consuming since there wouldn't be a demand for it.
But it would be kinda cool to play around with for an hour though.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess there really isn't a demand so no one's going to go through all the hassle to do it.
I just started looking into the Windows Phone platform once Mango was announced over the summer and they look like they got something good happening.
I primarily like the fact that:
1) has a very clean look to it (apps have a very consistent look, even 3rd party ones on the app store)
2) update straight from Microsoft rather than OEMs or carriers (I guess that's also thanks to the "strict" hardware requirement Microsoft has set for OEMs, so software wise, all phones can get updates at the same time, unlike Android's fragmentation)
3) very snappy and not very demanding on hardware
4) simple, but different from iPhone's style
But then again...I'll most likely miss flashing ROMs if I ever do migrate over (however, I think I can live with it if everything's super snappy and there's enough app support for the OS). And really sucks that there's not a lot of WP7 selection for AWS and no tethering yet for the OS.
I'm trying out the Launcher 7 right now, but because it's running as a launcher and Sense is still running in the background, it's killing my battery lol.
I'd love to test a wp 7 ROM or atleast a hybrid version with Android.
From my fist to your face, enjoy!
I am sitting next to a girl right now in my class with a windows phone running Mango
It's pretty snappy but loads apps that aren't stock apps slower then shz.

WM 7 is not open source. To get a working port would be a guessing game and super not worth it, not a DD. That's the reason you don't see honeycomb ports to other devices either like the nook color. It was never open sourced. Windows is not going in the open source direction either

LOL in this time and age running froyo is like going back to xp from windows 7. But yeah as a proof of concept its kind of interesting;-) What would be really interesting, is running gingerbread on the gnx

Yes this is true, but the point is that its almost booting.. I knew this from the start, it will require back porting drivers and probably a few kernel edits, but it may be possible.. in the end its just Linux running on a few upgraded drivers and a few kernel changes..

This is much easier to do from Gingerbread back to Froyo though, since you are building something to run on the same hardware and software stack (ARM and Android 2.x). The most difficult part would be getting drivers to work, but just as older drivers are made to work on new OS versions with shims and other tricks, in theory this is possible, if not a lot of work.
I'm not sure what will be gained though. Gingerbread didn't seem like a significant resource drain over Froyo, so I can't imagine there are any speed/power gains.

Yeah not really much to gain, but how awesome would it be to be able to be able to add to the list of things that can run on the nexus s.. and froyo on the flagship gingerbread device? against all rules

What about cupcake?
In all seriousness though, froyo would make a great ROM. and It should in theory be faster than GB.

Great Idea! I also thougt already how older Android Versions would run on the Nexus S.
When 2.2 is running, you guys should start porting 1.6 ;-)
Doesn't it help, that the similar SGS already was running 2.2?
Wow...you are amazing swamp goblin.

Yeah, its funny because I tried porting a froyo touchwiz rom from the og epic, and it got to pretty much the same place when booting haha.. hopefully I can get this working, along with other variations of froyo, that would be the greatest achievement for me in any android related stuff.
