Ubuntu Touch already has a large list of devices that have a Port for Ubuntu Touch. I know that Ubuntu Touch uses the blobs from Cynogenmod or AOSP to support the devices. Cynogen mod is available for the HTC one M8. Is there a reason that an Ubuntu Touch port does not exists other than the work required to make the port? I would love to be able to dual boot Ubuntu and android on my phone. I have even thought about attempting to make the port myself. I would want to make sure there is not an obvious reason as to why one doesn't already exist first =).
I think cz it's based on jellybean or stg like that

There was once a port in progress, I believe that since all interest in Ubuntu touch has died so has any devs work on such port.https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices

Too bad, i'd be interested :/
Looks like the porting guide has finally bee updated.
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/porting-new-device/
It also looks like there is a port in progress for the M7, but it simply boots. No hardware functionality yet.
I would like to try this out
Any light about this project?? I really would like to try it

hello guys
i just wanted to know if it will be possible to put windows phone7 as a second system on the dhd...i know i know windows phone 7 isnt a free sourcecode..but some people get it right on the hd 2..
so i was wondering if it wouldnt work for the dhd too?
at first: YES. it is possible.
BUT: it's a LOT of effort to port WP7 to the DHD and probably no one would do it.
so there would probably never be a working WP7 version on the DHD unless you get a really good DEV to work on this
I think there is a launcher called Windows phone 7. It looks exactly the same!

imo Windows 7 is not necessary on DHD.
Gingerbread is great.
im pretty sure WP7 wont come to the DHD as we first of all need the source code - which we most likely wont get.
+ imo the reason why we have working wp7 builds for the HD2 is, because it already has windows framework on it, which makes it way easier to port a newer version on it.
My question would be, will windows fans ever work out how to use search on XDA?, please this question has been asked time and time again.
Sry for the question bro actually im using revolution hd 5.11 and the windows phone 7 launcher the combination of windowd design and android software is great
I doubt it will. Even though WP 7 can be ported, almost all services in WP 7 will unuseable. The one that Im waiting is Meego or Ubuntu fully ported to DHD.
When I visit a big online store (which begins with an a ;P ) at this time all wp7 devices are really cheap xD. when you want wp7 I would recommend you to buy a htc hd7 for example. At the moment you will miss something like WOW effect of something new . Tested wp7 a while on my old hd2...there are many things missing (in OS itsself) and the hype came down after a short time after release of dft.
It would be good if can make it dual boot...

Can we have symbian on the DHD?
Just kidding lol!

I think this is a customized OS based on Android.
I owned a "Meizu M8" previously and this also had a similar looking OS. It was Windows Mobile 6 with some "apps" on top developed by Meizu (chinese cellphone company) that changed the whole look to what you see in the video above...
When I was leaving the Meizu scene there were some rumors about the next phone gen using Android as OS...
Oh and I don't recommend porting... It hasn't had that much additional functionality in the past and was full of bugs. Everytime two bugs where fixed four new ones appeared... This could be because of WM6 but I think it's also because of Meizu not being that experienced at developing (compared to Google/Apple). And of course it would be a hell of work to get this (chinese) thing adopted to western language - there were several compatibility issues although we had some very good coders working on it.
It does actually look good, anyone want to try it?

I'd like the widgets and the lock screen but the rest would depend on how well it preforms
Looks very nice!

looks good, i ported it to desire s there is no network issue and some other issues.
maybe i can port it to desire hd, but i cant maintain the rom because i dont have desire hd

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.
I would do it of I had an hd2...

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
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
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.
I hope that we can have Ubuntu or Android on our HD2 devices soon.
Ubuntu and Android are both already available on our HD2's, but you probably meant the Ubuntu Touch and Firefox OS

Someone is working on porting the new Android Jelly Bean v4.2.x?
I'm sure they are, just be patient. Don't ask for ETAs

well according to what ive been reading on twitter from the cynogen mod team
its laggy and unusable on a few phones they have got it working on
so may be quite awhile till it even branches down to the hd2
My personal opinion is that hd2 and devices with same or lower specs are dead devices for new android versions.With 4.1.2 allready lags in many ways and i dont think that this will magically get fixed.I am also really sad that many devs that started the hd2 android project arent anymore in the scene.The only hope to get a fully working 4.1.2 and 4.2 is to have all devs that worked in hd2 to work again on it.

First, sorry for my English.
Why do you think HD2 is dead device? Last week WP8 was ported to the HTC LEO and Desire C have almost the same hardware. As I remember that phone is supported by CM. Anyway I don't like buy a new device because have bigger, more numbers of CPU/GPU/RAM etc etc if my phone works enough fast. Why, Why I need buy a "new" device?? Because is supporting official by HTC?
BTW// HTC was twitt photo of HD2 and write some about working OSes on in it but nothing more...
My previous phone was HTC Magic and that phone had only one year fully supporting. Official still have Android 1.5 in Europe!! I'll never trust that company about support in the future.
Now I think even tytung (who is greatest small user) or DFT support that phone longer. Another devs did and doing great stuff of course too
Do you remember Desire HD and complain about Sense 3.5 or Desire about update to 2.3.. I don't have words for this.

We will have to wait for a new kernel to support 4.2 that's all i can say from the logcat

I didn't know much about the Ubuntu Touch, however now I am definitely interested in it. I didn't realize that progress had even started on it yet.
