Firefox OS

Mozilla have launched Firefox OS based on Linux kernel ... Its open source ... I would like any of our good developers to look forward towards developing this OS for our phones

More detail here: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/b2g/

would be hard if there's no propietary driver kernel source..

It's possible.
Here's manifest: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-manifest
I'm too busy to port it for now. Maybe someone else can do that.

i will give it a try to port it

This isn't android based... it's not a ROM it's an other OS... i think if it's possible it will be very hard

i have knowledge of unbranded os types

It's not android. But it is linux and android is also linux, so I think drivers can be ported from android to this, no (though no api stuff and such will be the same)?
I assume it'll be hard, much harder than ics and jelly bean, but still possible.
But I also think that it won't run as good/smooth as ics and in the future jb will run.
So it might run, but if it's useful is another question...
Nevertheless it would be awesome to see it running on the gio.
Also does it need to run on it's own or is it possible to run it on top of the android kernel? If this is the case then it becomes rather easy as we have enough stable android kernels for the gio.
Marcin, is that the purpose of the link you posted?

I think it's Android based, it uses AOSP repo besided Linaro repo and Mozzila repo!
Code:
<remote name="aosp"
fetch="https://android.googlesource.com/" />

Of course not. It's based on android, so the core shares a lot with the core of android. This doesn't make it android.
The whole os is (except for the core stuff) web based, which probably means all apps need to be written in html 5 or maybe other web standards.
So android apk apps don't work, and so it makes no sence including them.

Here are sources for android ICS on GIO. Since the manifest uses android 4.0.4 I think you may need to use some things from this (don't forget to mention Maclaw and Marcin if you do).
Soon this will be updated to JB I think, I don't know if FFOS works with JB as well or it specifically needs ICS though.
About firefox OS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS
So it's not entirely android based. It only uses some parts for some of the hardware.

thanks for the sourches

It's based android. Because s2 users can install it.

its dam hard but i am making progress what do you want guys odin or cwm just wanna now

alright it will be odin then now i gonna sleep but will continu tommorow

How much android is really in it? Mozilla made it so that it can run on devices that run android. So they probably just mean ARM with a certain ammount of ram etc...
Wikipedia says it's a linux kernel, some components of android for hardware communication, mozilla's own api's for app -> hardware communication such as phone, cam, speakers etc, and last but not least the gecko engine.
So if the kernel used is the same as the one used for android then you could use maclaw (and team)'s ICS kernel + the android stuff needed, merged with the b2g sources.
I'm not really a dev so it's probably a lot harder then what I'm saying here. But I think it's easier then a fully fledged android...
Were you able to boot something already?

[Q] Running SailfishOS on non-Jolla phones?

Hi all,
Is there any chance to run Sailfish OS on a non-Jolla phone? I would prefer a bigger screen and I'd prefer to not wait for their phone.
Assuming that the drivers from Android are compiled for the same Linux kernel version as I want to run in Sailfish, they should be loadable.
So then it's just a question of whether Sailfish is written to use the same devices (in /dev) in the same ways.
Anybody know?
Cheers.

First of all, Sailfish is not yet released to public, and most propably wont be before Jolla phone hits markets. So you can't get it before

Nobody knows yet, because nobody hasn't been able to have a look at it, since it hasn't been released. But I doubt that the kernel would match, since it doesn't even match on different Android phones. There are always some minor changes.

in android devices in /dev very often is used from binary blobs.
and this blob compiled againts another libc called bionic and it is not compatible with glibc, but Jolla phone will use android drivers via special library.

Well, the Sailfish OS runs on linux kernel thats for sure and soon it will have the capability to run almost all of the android apks, which means it can not be totally different form android form 'under-the-hood' so there is always some room to try it on your android devices.
I haven't really tried to explore Sailfish OS much, but if u do, plz tell me and I would like to do it on my phone (Moto xt910).
If you come across any guide for installing Sailfish OS on non-jolla phones, plz post the links here.

you should understand that nobody care about your motorola or what ever device you own. 3.5 developers that can build nemo mobile image will not do it just because of your request.

If I remember right the first demo shown of it was on a nexus phone. so of course it will run on android phone.

Silica components and that fancy home screen are not open source

I must admit I really like this OS.. even if it is similar to blackberry 10 for some aspects.. if this os will be avaiable for rooted android phones, i will certainly install it on mine!

I'd install it fast if my phone could get this (LG L5), but I think it's too weak on it. Maybe Sony Ericsson xperia neo would take this.

since the N9 port of Sailfish OS is now available:
h**p://jollausers.com/2013/12/the-comprehensive-guide-to-port-sailfish-to-n9/
and the arm chipset in the N9 (OMAP3630) is equal to many Android devices like the Defy+ h**p://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OMAP it would be nice to hear that someone begins with the porting to other Android devices. Hopefully also for my Droid 4 (OMAP4430).

[WIP] Sailfish OS for OPX

Hello OPX community,
I started to work on the port and its progressing nicely, UI is up also Wifi works now, but many things still don't work, so help is defintly appreciated.
Current status: wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
OLD:
I don't know if some of you know Sailfish OS, but its an OS that is not based on Android with an outstanding UI and UX.
And developers can port it to Android based devices like ours \o/
So I took the hand and compiled Sailfish OS and Android, but unfortunaly I don't really have the time to test since this is my only phone.
So I need someone to either test and report to me or what would be better someone that can develope further on its own after I shared my knowledge with him.
This thread is for talking about everything related to Sailfish OS.
Here are some useful links:

This would be my dream coming true...
I might be able to test it, if You can make a flashable zip. Is this build supposed to support android runtime? If I flash it, my recovery and internal SD remains untouched?

Android Support is currently not available for ported devices but there are some devs working on an open source solution.
Your recovery will stay the same.
Internal SD should stay untouched of you don't wipe it but it will probably not visible from sailfish but there was a fix for that, dunno if that is already upstream.

It's a completely different OS, it's based off Mer which is kind of a Linux distribution and on top of that sits sailfish OS. CM is only used on Android via libhybris to get the hardware working. In fact it's completely different from Android and NOT based on it like CM. It's real Linux as a mobile OS.

Wifi up
Bluetooth up
All sensors up
Audio up
\o/

Nice progression, thanks for effort. Had a Jolla-device before and loved it. The HW build quality just wasnt there. Altough, I'd love to get the opensource dalvik-emu to work some day, since I have a bad feeling about future sw development on SailfishOS.

Awesome. Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you on the latest build. I haven't had time lately. Life kinda showed up abf took my time with it. I'll try to observe it later.

Any CYANOGENMOD Development for SM-T350? I can be a tester.

Hi everyone,
Just creating this thread to see if there is any developer who might want to port/ develop cyanogenmod to the SM-T350.
Currently Evervolv for our tablet is a big step forward, but development for it seems slow. I'm not saying anything bad about the developer, on the contrary, is a big step forward.
Anyone interested on developing some sort of Cyanogenmod or AOSP rom for our tablet, I'm more than willing to become a tester.
Good day to all.

I'm not really sure on how to port or compile, but I'm going to be searching some other websites (forums) and ask some people from LineageOS on how to port or compile a rom. And sure, you can be an alpha tester after I try it out myself because I don't want devices to be bricked.

If you have a CM build for the T350 would you mind sharing it? Also did it die due to CM or unrelated?

I've been tossing around what I want to develop on my T350. I would like to use it to learn how to build android from source and install a custom oem android. I'd also like to customize the stock 3E recovery, or fork CWM. A Custom Recovery or modified TWRP is what I'd like to do.
With Android 7.1.1 and 8.0 out now, maybe I'd like to get into a custom intertwined boot.img and recovery.img. Trying to decide how best to setup the dev box.

Welcome LineageOS

We here in lovely XDA community are welcome LineageOS and strongly eager to learn about the new features[emoji6] [emoji106]
As they said on official site : we have not started doing official builds yet.
One of the benefits of this being an open source project is that anyone can build it, but please be careful flashing builds you’ve downloaded from other sources.
We will have some more information on when weeklies (or possibly nightlies) will be starting soon.
Thanks!

If Lineage OS were to have a new mascot, it would be a young version of the current one.

What do you guys think? Is it gonna have themes support? Or will it be like pure vanilla (stock Android)? What are your guesses?
BTW, I just found this.

That looks great guys, looking forward to trying the new public builds for this project as soon as available.
