I would love to have it ported on N900. I might even try port it to N900 as soon as I can get hold of some sort of image... Anybody else still interested in giving their N900 new life?
U are joking? Sailfish will never work on n900,so do not even dream about it.

Why not. It can be ported there, since Mer and Nemo already were. But it doesn't mean that it'll work there smoothly, since N900 has quite a limited RAM. See https://identi.ca/conversation/97151426#notice-98031241

Yes it is possible. Mer is already running on it so you just need the Sailfish UI. But it won't run smooth. It will be nearly unusable. So why should you really invest time to port it?
It would've been cool if it would run. I;ve tried running android on my n900 back in the day, but that was never smooth. I don't except jolla will either

The N900 was a device i will never ever forget. My first step into Linux systems. for the record, I was able to install and fully use Nitdroid except for receiving and making calls. Back then also, developers on various android forums were promising a complete version. it even built an auto installer for android GB installation. unfortunately due to nokia/android restrictions, it did not reach final stages..
I did not check how jolla looks,.but i am sure it can be done. not a perfect working UI but perhaps like nitdroid.

and you still asking?
Iam sleeping and seeing my reborned n900 on new OS
dont listen them, you doing right thing :good:
Even if you could get the drivers working (quite doubtful) and put one of the newer Android Kernels on it, performance would be disastrous. The Jolla (on hardware ~4x as powerful) is anything but a fast, smooth phone with Sailfish on board. The N900 would barely function, IMO.
Total waste of time.
Sorry for my ignorance,
So apps for Mer and sailfish are almost compatible?
Are they using QT libraries?

Hi Falks,
I was owning a n900, and now ordered a new one. I have looked back in Maemo , nothing really changed til left, just got some pain recently with closed doors on huawei and apple. And really want a physical keyboard and total freedom , and out of the box coming with terminal....
Do we have any alternative these days the last Linux phone which had keyboard was n900 (n950 prototypes also but discontinued). I can't beleive there were no devices made for geeks. And yeas more I use touch screen in last days more I miss the keyboard. So any devices newer ARM anfra more ram and physical keyboard??? Do we have like this, and device should come with only flasher bios/bootloader included , not with any chain, I am wondering if maemo as OS would continue that would be nice, but there are rly small people working things there, more or less DYI everything. I assume development for mobile devices are now much more easier SDK + IDE is basic. With proper OS libraries almost everything easy to port, except gui, but there we need strong libraries and guidences how to use them, or ultimately has a fallback library to the original source system UI with virtualization... There wasn't really easy to dev for eg maemo as ansi C was the main, then ok Pyton, and maybe they got a good C++ compiler, but all of above relies on SDK and OS libreries/refrences....
So any n900 like mobile these days, and I am asking for real items not for failed kickstarter stuff

First off I apologize if this thread may turn out to be inappropriate for this section of the forum.
I know this isn't really Nexus One specific, but it is Android Development related.
I'm having a somewhat slow day today and was doing some reading about the N900 when I happed across an interesting blog about a dev who managed to get his N900 to dual boot Maemo and Android.
http://blog.broberts.com/nokia-n900-with-maemo-and-android-yes-please
Apparently, it appears to be at the stage where it's just a proof of concept, but I have to admit that this is awesome to say the least. Anyway, I just thought I'd mention it here, where cyanogen, modaco and the rest of xda's talented dev's might happen to read it, in hopes that it might spark additional developer interest.
why nexus one and others phone need multiboot?
like as winmo+android android+maemo
next thread say maemo ported to android

I'm not sure if you misread my post. But this isn't about getting the Nexus one to dual Maemo and android, but to get android running on the N900. Not that Maemo isn't a great OS, I mean the N900 is a basically a fully operational computer/tablet, but the choice of apps on it is still limited. Regardless, the fact that it has flash and the fact that you can run practically anything from the browser does make up for it to some degree. Still, the N900 isn't really a consumer friendly device that others assumed it was going therefore getting android ported to the N900 hardware would be really sweet.
I don't think full on Maemo is open sourced but the parts that are I believe are released under a project called Mer. Since we've figured out how to boot debian. I don't think it would be much of a stretch to boot Mer.
Is it Maemo or MeeGo? Or are they both completely different projects?
So dual-boot is possible? I must of missed this stuff.. Would be cool to boot to a different OS
Does any one disagree with maemo being a more power os? I don't know why alot of people are not all over this.
I don't know muc about maemo, would definately like to dual boot with Debian or Ubuntu, though what those guys are doing in that debian thread is far beyond my capabilities.

MeeGo is a new OS that Intel and Nokia are developing.
Maemo has been around for years already, Nokia is behind it, it's open source and a bunch of communities/companies contribute to it, including Mozilla. It
I know this may sound like a stupid question but since I saw this
http://www.product-reviews.net/2010/04/12/htc-incredible-running-webos-could-drop-android/
and I've always liked the WebOS platform I thought that it must be possible considering the HD2's much superior specs 600mhz vs 1ghz, ect. The WebOS platform still has the best games of any other platform (apart from the iphone) and it would be great to be able to play them on some decent hardware. I know this might not be possible but if they put it on the incredible then it might?
Please give your thoughts, I'm still looking forward to the Android port aswell but from experience using android on my Diamond and on friend's Android phones games weren't very impressive and the pre's are!
If any developers can give their thoughts it would be much appreciated.
would be nice if we could run it but i doubt it will happen

web os isnt opensource so it would be almost impossible to port. The devs are having a hard enough time with android lol
On the article says that it would be nice if that happened, but no one put webos on the incredible.
And at the end palm was bought for HP not for HTC
I rather android on the hd2, never try web os but web os on hd2 is not going to happened... sadly.

Hey, thought I'd revive this thread and see if anyone other than me cared- with webOS 2 coming along maybe there's some interest in a port?
Seems not

WebOS is built on the linux kernel, so it actually is open-source and I don't see a port as impossible:

So would that source code mentioned on this link be the entire base of the OS? Or are there some parts that Palm kept for itself? Has anyone heard whether HP plan to release the source code for WebOS 2?

yeah i could do with being a bit more patient, also thought I'd try and keep it floating. Although I'm not going to dogmatically keep it high. If only I had the time to learn and do it myself- I love what people do on here.
hey there !
the title is somewhat self-explanatory, but i'll just have a go at clearing up what i mean.
you see, hildon is, of course, the ui used in maemo 5- i.e the n900.
except for some proprietary coding done by nokia . other than that,- open-source. is it possible?
but apart from that, hildon is fully functional. i stumbled upon a website, "showing off" their new "Cordia HD", which is basically Meego (!) using hildon instead of the somewhat crappy meego ui.
wouldn't it be cool to see hildon reborn as a launcher on android market, or even as a custom rom or patch. that would be really cool!
trust me, i would've done it myself if it weren't because i REALLY suck at coding. cant do anything.
this thread i mostly made to give some attention to the matter, and to share any progress, if anyone have done anything like it... or ever will...
Hildon-on-Android would be a HUGE project. I'm not aware of such a project in the works.
Realistically, if like me you really like the Hildon UI you only have 2 phone choices:
1. A used N900. (cheap)
2. A new N9. (expensive)
But you can dual-boot Maemo and Android on a N900.

Well, i know it would require a lot of re-engineering, i've understood that for quite a while
I was actually gonna buy a n900, but went for the desire z instead. Half because n900 is so choppy 18(!) mm. And because desire z is faster, with the "cool hinge".
Are you sure about that with n9? It runs meego, and the standard ui is qtor gtk i recall, am i right?
As i said in my first post, this thread was mainly to stir everything up a bit. Cheers

If there isn't already anyone trying to port this, I may make an attempt. However, I've never ported an operating system before, so it'd likely take a bit of time.

Yeah, Firefox OS would be nice, but I would agree that Open webOS would be a more worthwhile effort.
Honestly, I would have done it myself if only I knew how to do it.

me, too. I have the chance to buy it for 100 euros. is it worthwhile?
Simple answer...... Yes even if you don't use it as your daily phone.....Yes
OK since no one is really doing anything

I will throw up a build in the next few days that most likely wont work. If anyone wants to test, do it and tell me if it boots or not

This was actually something I'd thought of right away. I tried to cook a few Android ROMS so I know a little something. But unfortunately I don't know how to port Firefox OS. Though Android Kitchen has a function to help you porting the OS. Somebody who can post a link to the download? And Open WebOS?
Edit:
I tried porting the Galaxy Nexus version, but with no luck. I've spent a few hours trying different kinds of methods to make it work. I ended up flashing the thing, but then I got a bad NAND from MAGLDR. I think my boot.img (or zImage) don't work.
Edit2:
Then again, I'm no developer. If a developer could guide me through porting, making/analysing (boot) files, I'd be happy to try again. For now, my try ends here.
Edit 3:
Though this may help a little:
Mozilla's guide to port Firefox OS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Porting
HTC HD2 (LEO)'s manifest: https://github.com/manhthiep/repo-manifests/blob/master/b2g_htcleo.xml
CM's drivers and stuff: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_leo
Tytung's drivers and stuff: https://github.com/tytung/android_kernel_htcleo-2.6.32-ics
It is very good idea. HD2 can run Firefox OS same as Android.
but I am worry about software support for this new operating system.
While that is true, Firefox OS has aimed for low budget devices. Which will probably support only small games and apps. Doesn't mean that it gets full support, but since it's based on linux also, it sure must be easier to port it to FFOS.
While we're at it. Why not try Ubuntu Touch? xD

of course. also Ubuntu is a good choice for HD2 owners.

That's sad, I don't have the knowledge to try it. Would be a dream to have the possibility to run sailfish on a z1c (and other devices).
What I saw and read about sailfish os seems to be very promising.
Damn would be so awesome to run sailfish on a z1c!!!
The best part of Sailfish on Z1c would be, doing away with onscreen navigation. I feel so @#$% not to have entire 4.3 inch screen at my disposal.
For Android there is a launcher, which is gesture based and does not need on-screen buttons. I am not sure about its name, but you will find it here on xda. I think it's called LMT...

Any News?
Hej Folks,
I was wondering wether there are any news considering the porting of Sailfish OS to our beloved Z1 Compact. Is there any possibility to do so at all? Or is it just because of the work going along with porting it? I'm a total noob and no idea how to port, but just asking.....
I'm also interesting in having SailfishOS on my Z1 compact. I can help test, if anyone is prepared to port it.
Cheers
Waiting for it, Omar said that maybe he could try to port, but... It seems that there is no interest
Enviado desde mi Z1 Compact
Omar is busy updating all his ROMs to Lollipop and making them run without bugs. I don't think he has time for this now
Hey,
are there any news on Sailfish OS für Z1c yet? I've read something about a new bootloader thing for xperia devices making it easier to install custom ROMs on those devices. I'd love to have a Sailfish OS-based phone, but am not willing to spend money for outdated specs at Jolla Phone and while my Z1c is still very much capable of most tasks.
Can't post links yet, but the news about the new bootloader stuff is i.e. on xperiablog . net
