Boot to Gecko Port

Hey guys,
I would like to port Boot to Gecko to our HTC Desire HD
Perhaps you know Boot to Gecko, it's the new Linux based OS from the Developers of great Firefox.
It is in an early state of Developing but it runs on an Samsung Galaxy S2. There are others out there who are also would like to see a port of it on an other Device.
Here and here for example..
herrsch0rdev wrote here that we just need to replace/add some drivers, perhaps a talented Android ROM Developer ore some one else who can help or poste some information or knowledge reads this and can provide help.
thx

Good idea, but why not wait till the final version comes out and then port it on our devices? Even if you will port it now, people won't use it as a daily, but only to see how it works. I suggest you wait for the final version and then port.

Hmmm... I love panel 4-8, but those massive icons are a turn-off.
No widgets? I like clock/weather and facebook/twitter and whatnot.

Bringing this thread up again because I found a port guide from mozilla
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Boot_to_Gecko/Porting

Would really love to see this live
Firefox OS look promising and running on our device would be so awesome. wish i could help in development. but would be able to help in graphics and testing once someone picks up the task.

man this looks nice, I would most definitely try this one if it came out Love the simplistic idea for GUI.

Yeah it looks absolutely stunning but is this something we can post in Development section?

I believe randomblame has started to port this.

I'll put my support behind this as well. I really like the UI. if any devs need someone to test, then beam me up scotty! send me a PM

Score! Maybe this forum hopefully will be a support for an upcoming Firefox OS rom

cant wait
rb is one of the last awesome porters we have.. (for non-sense roms)
im sure he will get it to boot, and even fully functional.

No doubt , he is really good!

I'm wondering if this would be any sort of solution now that HTC has abandoned us. I mean I don't see ICS or JB fully stable any time soon(maybe I'm wrong.. I'd love to be wrong to be honest)
..wondering how they would make it work for our phones(driver wize), of course maybe it would be just the same "ship" with different name.. either titanic or britannic the fate might be the same as these too.
I guess will have to wait and see..

Ahem, jellybean and ICS is pretty much as stable as needed.
Latest JT and Pacman roms are pretty much bullet proof, MIUI has some lag issues. If you're getting reboots try disabling HW overlays
ICS is as good as done, I would even say that Sense roms are more stable than non sense, and overall I feel they certainly match the stability of sense 3.5.
but......I would love to see a gecko port!

I prefer non sense roms and trust me they are not as stable as I would like. When I mean stable its not just working all features, its beeing bugfree too
P.S. android 2.3.7 is stable, ICS and JB ..hmm not ..working and in a very good state but not near stable at all.

lol
:crying: lol

So, did anyone started working on it?
I'd love to test it

Bumping this for the motherland.
Would love to see this, or Ubuntu Phone OS or OpenWebOS (May my Palm Pre RIP) on the DHD.

jb and ics roms are ok but launching apps is way slower than sense, and camera is never stable...i like to try this

So I assume that this boat sealed
Damn, I'd like to see Firefox OS in our phones.

[Q] CM10 for the Nexus 7?

Is this something that may happen quickly for the N7 as it is stock android, or will the devs need to spend a fair amount of effort prepping it for the N7?

Yeah man - they have a bunch of screen shots on their G+ feed right now. Tablet and phone UI.

CM10 should already compile for the N7 as because it is a Nexus device the vendor (the files used to configure the build) are released in AOSP. See https://android.googlesource.com/device/asus/grouper

I thought that may be the case, but that level of detail is not in my wheelhouse, so thanks for the info!
I wonder how long it will take an enterprising dev to start the "***OFFICIAL*** CM10 For the Nexus 7" thread in the dev forum

I have no doubt I could compile CM10 as it is for the Nexus 7, I don't see any point yet though, there are next to no changes.

Ahh... cool. I have not even messed around with cm9 yet because a full version of it is not supported for my device. I was a big fan of CM7.2 when I was running the RC though.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question - it's cool when the devs help folks like me out with the easy questions

Cyanogen 10 NIGHTLIES should begin soon.
As far as a release candidate or final, there is absolutely no way to tell but i can pretty much guarantee you looking from CM7 and CM9 that your looking at at least 2-3 months.
ICS was released last November and CM9 has not even hit release candidate yet.

CM9 has hit RC1 . Apparently, it's going to take less time to get things rolling from ICS -> JB as there aren't that many BIG platform changes unlike GB -> ICS.

Looking forward to CM10 or AOKP!

This is what I'm waiting in for. Does anyone know if someone has committed to being the Cm dev for the n7? And if so, I who is it?

A lot of the work of being a 'dev' for a certain device isn't really needed with a Nexus device since Google provides most of the bits that make it difficult to make a custom ROM without.
Also, quite a few devs were at IO and received a free Nexus 7, so I really don't think we're going to be short of devs wanting to get CM working on the device!

yes, but my question is if anyone has stepped up yet. Is there a device maintainer? I'm actually pretty surprised that there isn't a cm10 build floating around for this yet....

Well, it sure looks like someone has stepped up to the plate. I wonder what the next steps are?

So funny story. Right after I got done adding some files to support CM10. I took my Nexus 7 over to my nephews birthday party. I set it down for a second on a table. My sisters dog than ran into it and the N7 took a fall to the patio.
What only looked like a small crack on the screen and the display works fine. The trouble came when I tried to unlock my tablet. The touchscreen no longer works.
So my plee to anyone out there. I am looking for a new N7. I would buy it from Google but they are 3-4 weeks out on shipping the next round. If anyone bought two, or knows of any other stores that may have one in stock let me know. I don't want to be out of the game that long!

That does suck.
That's nemith and he maintained the Nook Color for awhile. Still works with our current maintainer fattire, and those guys are the best.
For real, for real.
I would love to see either of those gentlemen be active in this forum. I still spend more time on the Nook forum than here, and I haven't even turned that device on since the Nexus 7 arrived.
Which makes me feel totally guilty. Something is very wrong with me.

Speaking of hardware, the only meh so far are the volume-/powerbuttons. They appear quite cheap and wobbly. Stock-SW is sth you have to get used to. Or simply give a custom-rom a try.

Mine arrived and the buttons are solid enough. Could be better (aluminium) but nothing to put me off and certainly better than the N7100/N7102 I am leaving behind, which have a silly amount of creaks and soft areas considering their price.
Most reviews have been on the mark now I've actually got the device. Areas of improvement for sure but initial impressions are it's a really fine effort considering the size and experience of the competition. Starting out with stock (official) ROM before going to Betas and AOSP/AOKP to see how each fare. I quite like the stock interface - a bit of a change from traditional dark Android and it doesn't lag like TouchWiz
Also, the text difficult to read as noted in the review is fixed - screen of notification pull-down in current official stock ROM (0514).

Thanks for the heads up! Oppo's rep has also contacted letting me know that it has been fixed some time ago (shame on me!). Anyway, I've updated my review.

I guess it's a good way for people interested to see how Oppo progresses the software with user feedback.

Thanks for that fantatstic review.
A very interesting point in the review is this sentence: "Want a Google Edition device? This comes pretty darn close!"
I follow all the cm/aokp/pac/pa threads but as far as ive seen, there are troubles with the camera, overall stability and performance. Why are there no stable or almost stable roms out if this device is every developers dream?

Yeah, it works, but its far away from stable and the camera still has its bugs. Im not complaining, dont get me wrong, i just want to know why the find 5 is always mentioned when people search for a dev friendly aosp device.
Also there are so few people around in this forum that i fear that the dev`s loose their interest in this device, before theres a stable release of an aosp rom.

Time. The device has only been out a few months, and honestly, both xplodwild and I have been pretty busy with non-CM stuff lately.
Our fault, not Oppo's. Oppo has been, without a doubt, a pleasure to work with. They even sent me a SECOND device (with the serial console hardware populated along with two serial cables) to help with the kernel rebase. Unfortunately after making massive progress on it two weekends ago, I haven't had time to touch CM at all on any device since then.

I wouldn`t dare to complain about the dev`s awesome work, i was just a little bit unsure about the possibility of seeing a stable aosp rom one day, and whether i should keep my find 5 or send it back. To hear that oppo is a pleasure to work with and that awesome dev`s like you will carry on gives me enough certainty to keep that fantastic piece of hardware, and to supply some money to donate

I... am sold. Oppo's proactive dev support is just too awesome. I can see development taking off with this device months down the line, and that's saying much considering that it's already got a solid base for its age.
Looking forward to being a dev labrat~

I've only really investigated Android tablets, not phones, so I'm confused as to what this means to us stock G-Pad owners. Will we be able to flash the kernel / ROM for the Google Play edition directly to our devices? And if so, would we presumably lose the LG features such as knock-on, etc. (I'm expecting we would)?

Yes, just like how the vanilla HTC One and the S4 were able to port the Google edition to the original devices we should be able to do the same as long as the hardware is identical. No word on knock on until we see the kernel and OS in live production or if someone can break it down and compare to ours

Understood, much thanks! Reading around a bit, it means we may actually have the best of all worlds here - a regularly updated tablet with Stock android or close to it, and possibly the cool features the manufacturers designed it with. AND and SD expansion. Awesome.

Usually the source included isn't enough to actually do anything as most of it is proprietary and closed source. However, this looks like a lot more than what we got with the V500 source and might be because it's a GPE device. I'm not experienced in this kind of stuff but I'll see what I can do. I doubt I'll get it to build.

Testing Firefox OS in Xperia SP

So, this is a great new !!
http://fxpblog.co/firefoxos/testing-firefox-os-on-sony-xperia-sp/

I had one question always.
Can we xsp users multi boot?

great ! firefox on sp wow

No, it's a side project so it doesn't get much time. Release won't be for several weeks. The issues are not only on the side of device porting but also on the side of Mozilla. It is still under active development, unlike Android which is only released when it is complete.

Yeah, but of we get Ubuntu, it'd better right? But alas, no dev to port it for xsp. Same is for Firefox. As @Levered said it'll take a lot of time to get updates from the op if it gets ported

I'm curious, what are you guys 'eager' to see this?
The reason for no release is due to camera. From what I can tell the camera blobs depend on some Android specific parts which will never be part of FxOS (of course).
Unless this is solved then I will probably not release this for Xperia SP as nobody will use it without a functioning camera.
I'm considering getting Xperia E1 to continue this project as this hardware is better supported in FxOS and it also looks like the camera blobs do not have this limitation.

You caused it lol by posting this and showing a video everyone got all excited also you could just release non working build like many devs do with their custom ROMs: on some phones the phone might never have working wi-fi on custom ROMs (desire c fixed after about a year of tinkering) or if you check out the HTC one x custom ROMs they have a lot of stuff broken too!

No way, missing camera (and bluetooth) are missing features too big to warrant a release.
Besides, would anyone really permanently switch from Android to FxOS on Xperia SP if I fixed these two issues and released it? I'd bet money on it that people would use it for a couple of hours maximum, then realize they need the Google services that push all notifications to the phone.
(FxOS doesn't have push notifications for most things, pretty much everything has to be reloaded / refreshed manually, even syncing contact data.)

tested on older device..
I have already tested Firefox OS on my older Xperia E Dual device.. it kinda sucked.. I didn't like the way it felt and it was laggy and super slow.. maybe it is better here in XSP
