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

This is getting awesome!! I just want to try Ubuntu os but I'm a noob[emoji53]. So I'll rather wait and not make any threads for request.
And thanks man. You are awesome too for giving us hopes for a different os[emoji6]

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

Been with this note II group for a long time and was thinking of changing it but the amount of Dev Support it has is amazing, hope they bring out the Android 5.0 AOSP soon so that I can hangout with my phone for a little longer.

I had a similar thought. Im expecting to see it soon...

If it can get L, I will wait even longer before I get a phone. It needs to be something breath taking to take me away from the 2 If it has L support. The only thing that makes me sweat is the screen on the Note 3 and 4 lol.

So it appears the next iteration of CM is already starting to roll out... and we don't even have a fully working 11:silly:
Cyanogenmod-11-m12

Damn that was fast by CM. Maybe now that we have Bump! we will soon-ish see proper support from CM? They support far more obscure models than G3 so I'm at least hopeful.

An excellent point.CM has builds for almost every LG that has come out:good: So for sure, the G# is not far behind.

Does anybody has a word on the official CM11 release? I got a feeling the curent (unofficial) one is a bit buggy.

Official or unofficial, all CM versions being ported to a new device goes through "buggy". That's why the current version is BETA.

LG has done a really bad job at Android 5.0. It almost looks exactly the same. CyanogenMod 12 will at least have Material Design so I'm looking forward to its release.

I don't see this happening. Any changes to the boot image would mean it needs to be re-Bumped, and relying on a third-party like this is a precedent that I don't think CyanogenMod will want to set.

Do any of you guys know of a TWRP themes thread somewhere in some forum? Somewhere we can get a nice compilation of the themes? I'd search the forum but I figured maybe someone has it bookmarked or something!
---------- Post added at 12:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:02 PM ----------
Also, has anybody heard if LG plans to update its stock apps to Material Design? All the stock apps on the L stock roms are just the same old crap.

PSA
Well this is a nice boost.
But big battery is BIG

The development has kicked in well and a big thanks to our devs/porters for that but I feel the lack of frequent updates/nightlies. I think we should invite Rom Cooks/Development teams (CM, Omni, MIUI, PA, PACMAN, etc.) to begin officially supporting our G3. The Bumping might be an extra load on them but am sure they would collect good donations from all of us once they start developing for us.
We have neither heard any news from them if they are considering to support G3 yet. I don't know if they know about bump or not or if they still think we have a locked bootloader with no workaround.(silly concern maybe, but am still concerned )

Damn that battery is big! We really need new development in the battery area. I don't like how every manufacturer is focusing on the thinness of the phones instead of having a slightly bigger battery.

Maybee someone know a good Kernel dev. for our G3! Would be good for our battery and performance?

PA on Att G3
I cant find any threads or post about PA on the G3. Does any body know of any one who it intrested in geting a pa port.

How has LG done a bad job with android 5? Samsung has looked the same since they started making phones. HTC kept sense looking the same right up until blinkfeed and even then there was still the option to use the good old flip clock widget (which really just became flatter). I think they did a good job of keeping their individual look and feel while moving forward. The integration with the new O.S is done well and personally I think the new material design is not too attractive, but oh well...
I am impressed but still figuring lollipop out.

HTC Sense 7 (SkyDragon) Discussion Thread

HTC Sense 7 has been ported to our beloved M7. HUUUGE thanks to @matitorres07 and the Skydragon team!!
You can find the ROM thread here
Here is a leaked ad for the HTC One M9 that shows some of Sense 7's new features, including CM style theming options.
and you can download all of the M9 wallpapers from here. (thanks to @LlabTooFeR)

Are we 100% sure that this gem of a phone won't get an official release of Sense 7?

I hope he is wrong though, or at least htc changed his mind
Remember Sense 6's port which cost us the inability to use GPS?
We need official support FTW!

Well, if this ad/video is fake does that mean that that's not really Sense 7? 'cause in my opinion that UI and theme thing looks sweet

Yes I watched the release today and it was announced one m8 and "other high end models" will receive sense 7.0 not going to be officially released for m7 shame

I don't think all you guys should be bothered the m7 won't get an official release. From the hands on iv seen there's not much difference (I may be wrong) but hell I'm more pissed that the evleaks render isn't the m9, over sense 7.
