Maybe im just dreaming but i was courious if theres a way to make an os that can cross platform different apps.like a windows droid hybrid.im sure its possible but not sure how stable it would be.or if anyone has tried i searched the forums with no luck.so my questions are.
1.is there such an os cooked or in the process?
2.can it be done and is there a way to avoid it crashing or running to slow?
3.What does everyone think of the idea if it were possible and stable,would you be interested in it?
I know that apps programs and themes are ported all mthe time but im talking about an os that is compatible reading both formats windows and droid based.
let me know what u think.

I think that would be really cool if someone was able to create a rom that is styled and designed to look and operate like Windows Vista.
I doubt it would be possible to create a rom to do this but the idea is cool. I would try to do it myself but im not able to due to lack of programming skills and knowledge in this particular department.(It took me over a dozen times bricking my phone to finally get the NBD 8.0 rom installed and working properly.
If this isnt possible, then it would be neat to see someone actually create their own rom, something totally custom that isnt anything like anything ever seen before, instead of an imitation WM6 rom(everyone has WM6 these days and if they don't, then theyre probably trying to find a way to get it).
Just food for thought.

I doubt this will be possible, but have you ever heard of Wisbar Advanced and Wisbar Advanced Desktop? These programs can make your phone look like Vista. Search around on these boards

yes I actually already have both WA2 and WAD licensed but I thought it would be neat to see a rom that emulatad vista to avoid running memory robbing software.
Hi there,
I'm looking for a base 6.1 or 6.5 rom with all the rubbish removed without ANY 3rd party application so I can start from scratch for complete customization.
I have found such a rom for the Kaiser and other phones but the closet with the raphael I could find was a Offical HTC stripped ROM which still have alot of junk on.
Basically I'm looking for a bare windows rom with stuff like windows live taken off it.
I would cook my own from scratch but I'm fairly new to this and wouldn't know what I should leave. But I do have a good idea of what cabs I need and want to install from looking at other peoples ROMs for good functionality.
Does anyone know of a ROM like this?
Thanks!

If you cook your own, you just leave out the EXT packages, everything else is OEM and generally necessary.
Otherwise you'll find lite ROMs with no Manila but probably not a 100% stripped down version because there's no demand for it.
It would just be the base ROM from the kitchen w/o EXT packages installed.

This one looks like a good base without ATT bloat, but still has some other basic stuff included.
or this one with wm6.1 from Da_G

Thanks peeps that's more what I was looking for, the second link in particular but it still has some stuff I would rather be without or apps I wouldn't want because I'd replace them with a better one. Am I able to remove these using the OEM/ROM/SYS files and Raphael Kitchen - is this the most easy to use cooking program?
Sorry some of those questions probably seem stupid I've been doing alot of reading though theres alot to work out at the start.
If anyone has any more really stripped roms like Da_g's I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

You are not getting any more lightweight than dag's...
I'm afraid you got to do it yourself. Try it and post your ROM. I'll be the first one to try it (after you, that is.)
Ok but is it possible to extract remove and re-cook his own rom, only removing a few applications and not system files? If so what program?
Thanks
Just an FYI the term for blank roms is "Vanilla"

Use the kitchen to BUILD your own ROM. That's it.
Sorry for being an idiot but which program is the kitchen, the only one I found was a DOS one but the ones I've seen in threads have a proper windows GUI?
Thanks

Start here.
First off, allow me to introduce myself: I'm an 18 year old cook from new orleans and I'm fairly tech savvy. I have an ipod touch and enjoyed hacking the **** out of it, and now I have a G1 and look forward to hacking the hell out of it as well, espcially since android is much more hack friendly and so far I absolutely love it compared to the iphone os.
Ok, so I just downloaded sign-passion-frf50-from-ere27.1e519a24.zip
From what I understand this is Froyo (2.2), which cannot(?) run on the G1.
Can I get this to run on the G1? If not, can I get 2.1 to run on the G1?
If it is possible, but very difficult, please let me know anyway so at least I know what I'm up against.
On this note, what is the process of manually updating the android os anyway?
P.S. I did search before posting this, and nothing seemed to spefically match this post

Even if all Android systems have the same roots, they differs on various devices. This is caused by different hardware specs: CPU architecture, drivers, customizations; and there are some custom add-ons as well: Google apps, Sense UI, etc. This is why it isn't possible to run OS designated for other devices, even if both of them are running "the same" system.
Porting is a process of mixing up bits from both systems to get some features from one device to another. And adding some missing parts. We have to wait for someone to manage to build workable version of Froyo system for G1 devices.
Ahh and there is no problem with 2.1 on G1 - there are plenty of 2.1 roms for this device, I personally recommend CM5.0.7 .
I see. So do you think that froyo will be ported to the g1? Where can I download the roms for the g1? and how do I install them? Is there a way to get sense ui on the g1 after I install CM5.0.7? Thanks for all the help
Well first you will need to root your phone. There is tons of information on that. I'm sure you'll find a guide no problem. Is you want cm5, which I highly recommend as well, go to cyanogenmod.com and look in the forums under experimental. You cannot, however, simply add sense to a rom. It's a lot more complicated than that. There are lots of sense roms though. Check the g1 forum here on xda. As for froyo, time will be popping up soon enough but we're all going to have to wait until the source is released sometime in the next week or two.
Hope that helps,
Samuel Maskell

I just had a question on whether anyone knows any ROM devs that either keep as close to stock "vanilla" android, or if anyone knows the least amount of things that have to be coded to create a "vanilla" ROM.
I don't know if I am the only person who would like just straight up google android 2.3 to rn with their non-modded UI, but that is honestly what I'd like.
If I have to I will create my own as long as I know the super basic things I have to change to get it to run.
I had a G1 with CyanogenMod on it and while I enjoyed CM, I have no idea if they even plan to make a version of CM 7 for the shift.

This is probably the thread to check out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936822
why thank you good sir.
Hey all,
Today I bought an Acer Aspire One D255E netbook which has dual boot Android.
The thing is though that I'm pretty sure its running 1.5 or 1.6 from the looks of the UI (I don't quite know seeing as my HTC phone has HTC Sense) and there is also no Android Market. Is it possible to install a custom ROM based on Honeycomb?
If so would you please be able to give me a step by step walkthrough as I am completely new to rooting/ custom ROMs etc
Thanks
I'm not 100% but I can't imagine it being 1.5 or 1.6, its probably just vanilla android (no proprietary ui). You don't get to see android all by itself very often. As for a custom rom,i don't see why not. You would just need to find a developer with interest in it. Most net books aren't far above this generation of phones, and also would think the file system would be similar if not identical.
I might even go as far as to say start poking around the file system if you can, being a computer it may have root access already (sort of like a dev phone). Hey if you're feeling brave you could try one of the one click root apps like z4 root, see if it works.
i'd also like to say that I'm not telling you to do this, there are risks involved in doing anything unknown and try this only if you are prepared for those possibilities. Do it at your own risk, I'm not responsible if you mess something up while experimenting.
Just some thoughts ;-)
