[Q] IOS 4.3 on XOOM

I was wondering if there is any chance in the near future to install IOS 4.3 on the XOOM as a dual boot ?

Seriously? WTH!!

NO

Long answer: Because of Apple's closed environment and non open source software, and also because of legality issues and such........
Short answer: No.

I don't think this is impossible at all. It won't be official or legal, but as Android was put on iPhones, I think the opposite is perfectly possible. One blog I read today even implied the possibility of the Apple A5 being the same processor as the A9 in the xoom, but I really don't know how correct that is.
The problem is that I don't see anyone bothering to do this, but I wish they would. It would be awesome to have access to some iOS-exclusive apps.

I dont think Apple would have any problems with this at all.

the A9 processor you're referring to is the Cortex-A9 processor, which is used for all dual core processors. all the new high end phones you see now are powered by ARM Cortex-A9 processor (including iP4, Atrix, Bionic, etc)
On top of the Cortex-A9 lies the SoC chip,
The A5 is an SoC developed by (intrinsity, samsung, apple)
The Tegra 2 is an SoC developed by NVIDIA
Hope that clears things up.

Apple is SkyNet?

This is one of the funniest threads I've seen. The only one that compares was the "Anyone want to trade my iPad 3G for your Xoom?" Like anyone would give up a Xoom for an iPad...

U might as well wait until some body ports over the miui rom over to the xoom if u like ios so much lol

And how, if I may ask?
The developer would need iOS source to start with. How about rewriting drivers, functions etc?
Android can be used on iOS devices but it doesn't mean the opposite could be possible.. The OSes are just so diffrent
..but yeah, it'd be cool to have a device open to ALL platforms and usable with them.

Maybe someday VMware can do this

Android 4.0 SDK Out now

the ice cream sandwhich SDK is currently out on android sdk website. http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
anyone start toying with it yet?
if so how'd you like it?
discuss

I am on too slow of a connection to download and mess with it but just from reading the notes it looks like the press conference REALLY left a lot of important features unmentioned. Another thing I found odd was that there was zero mention of the "one OS to rule them all." I would have thought Google would make a bigger deal about this being a unifying version of the OS.

I just tried it and I must say it rocks.
I really like the browser
I just feel that they could have been a bit more creative with the home launcher since it kinda reminds me of adw, but other than that everything rocks

So, if someone could just port it to our phone

are you really worrying, if ICS will be available for the NS?! or did i miss something?
no worries, mates, as far as i have read the statements of google, ICS will definitely come for the NS! of course they have to bring it, i'd buy an f*ing iphone, if my not even 1 year old developer phone was no longer supported! (ok, it was a bluff, i'd never buy that brick, but i'd be really pissed! )
the last thing i read about it was, that they first of all work on the NS-rollout...though i don't think, that it will happen before the galaxy nexus is published...
Edit: "Google Android Chief Andy Rubin stated that Ice Cream Sandwich is on schedule to roll out “a couple of week after” the Galaxy Nexus arrives in the marketplace." -> that may take some time, maybe a christmas present?

It has to come out for ANY phone before that can happen. Besides we will be the second phone to get it so i'm imagining we will have an official before there is ever a port, so just settle down :

WebOS on Droid Charge

With the announcement of webOS moving to a open source platform, am I the only one wishing for a port of webOS to the Charges' hardware? Sure its not the most powerful phone or neither does it have the strongest developer base, but I'm still hoping for it one day. This is coming from a person who had a Palm Pre Plus prior to my D'Charge, so therefore I'm very familiar with the way webOS works and I still today miss it the fluidity of the platform. So let me know, am I alone?

In theory, I suppose it could be done, as WebOS is also Linux based. However, it would take a LOT of work-I think the time put into such a project would not equal the number of people who would want to use it.

In all honesty I would like to see ICS before I would like to see WebOS, but I feel like these ports would be coming from different teams. From one corner their will be developers working to get ICS to all non-nexus devices and in the other corner their will be people working to get WebOS on android devices and once its done here it will be picked up by other developers and tweaked to work on the particular device they're developing for.

WP7 is impossible. One, it's closed source. Two, it's not Linux based, unlike webOS and Android.

With the release of Isis (the open-source webOS browser), is there any chance of it being ported to the Charge, or Android in general?
Also webOS. I would love to have webOS on this phone.

Well it is possible but a dev would have to take an interest in it and considering this phone has kinda died out with the exception of a few that's not likely to happen

WebOS is going to be outdated soon.

Androids are no more exciting......

The hype of android is now over. It has become a PC like thing against apple. So history is repeating itself. Yes we know they now have a large app base unlike in 2011, when the big titles were only on ios. But now things are changed. We all know that android turns into a giant and this transformation was rapid. But if we see in detail its just like microsoft and intel. A new processor with more hertz and a new windows. So now is the point when all the ics and jb devices can do everything alike besides games.
Kids who own their devices to play games are justified to get an upgrade but for a lil older folks and retired teens. I find hard to get a reason to upgrade to some different size, when i am so used to of my phone. Its been 2 years that i am having my phone. There are lot of phones in the market now some even more bigger and some slightly small. But there is no other phone with 5.3 inch screen size. Which i think is the ideal and max for the pocket.
The bad thing that happened is that i cant use even a slightly small phone because it feels very small.
Anyone agreeing with my view or any criticism is appeciated.

I dare you to get a note 2 and stick it in your pocket. The device fits in my jeans and dress slacks. I should add I use the ZL extended battery. The best thing about the note 2 in my opinion is its readability. I use my phone more because of it.

After rooting, flashing a custom rom, and overclocking my LG Optimus V, it became exciting one again. :laugh:

Android is basically a version of linux, jist its UI was newwhen it first came. More compatible on a phone. But if u look close. Its just the same linux that we use on the PCs. The hard part is we all just switched to android without asking them about the security of it. There ia no official claim about how secure it is. I like apple because they ade their system atleast secure.

Has your data been stolen off your phone? Linux has built in security and you can't do anything major without root plus Jelly bean android added security features. Just as long as you don't download apps from unknown sources you are fine. Now we can see the OP is just another clueless apple troll.

Android
Well there's loads of devices out there for Android, yet there are some form factors that I'd like to see on a high end phone but doesn't come...
For instance, I wanna see a Palm Pre like QWERTY portrait slider... Also a regular QWERTY candy bar phone...
Why do the manufacturer's think that Android doesn't need a physical keyboard? The ones that do come out with physical kbs these days are poor designs and low end phones. I can think of a few people in my family who would love an Android phone with a proper physical kb.

Development have been slow for 4.3, even in Nexus community. Some ROM builders/ teams have stopped development completely. That's something bad.

androids are cool

Actually since the security issues. People are not going custom or rooted. Plus going custom is what fascinates the teens and younger folks. Its also time consuming backing up data and restoring on the newly flashed system and then going back. People now simply wait for the official update, in the past it took even a year for ics to come but now the process is quickened.
Devs are not investing time to make custom rather they are going for app development.

Well, I think it depends... In my case I love to have devices running like I want (and no like brands want). So I don't have problem with do some backups and then try and mod some Roms.

Until when??? I have been doing this for 3 years. There is a point when you are fed up of just trying to make something perfect which according to you always have room for something new. So its just a blind chase. In the end its just a lil browsing some games messaging and calls that we have to make. A little social networking too if you use your phone cam

Samsung Vs Android

Are you Pro Samsung, or are you Pro Android. I ask this question, because of Samsung's future plans with their Tizen OS. I'm sure everybody knows about this OS. But I'm not sure any of use fully understand what Samsung is going to be doing with it. And what it will mean for Android running on their devices in the future... I don't really see this OS being a threat to Android. But with Samsung's notable market share in the Android landscape, and uninformed consumers. Can it get a strong hold on some of Androids market share.

I'd love to have a phone with "easy" hardware, on which one could install Android, Tizen or Ubuntu at will, so one can try and choose the one wich fits better his own needs.

I'm not really interested in Tizen... I kind of wanted to see where people stand on the issue... Samsung has been the top Android OEM, but are we for Android, and just choose Samsung devices, or are we with Samsung, that just so happens to be using Android... And when the time comes, will we stick with one, or the other, Samsung with Tizen, or Android... I kind of also like to see what people think of Tizen... I'm not really sure what to think of the OS. I'll be staying with Android, I know that much...

More afraid of Samsung staying with Android but going the way of Amazon. They want the money from the ecosystem. Wouldn't be surprised if in the future you have to pick a kindle phone, Samsung phone, or Google phone depending on where you want your content and apps to come from. Google Play subscriptions / apps? Amazon subscriptions / apps? Samsung subscriptions / apps? etc

Remember the viability of the OS is almost totally dependant on the catalog of apps. BlackBerry OS 7 & 10 were very functional and secure OS'es but lost their appeal in the market because of the lack of apps. The same could be said for Windows Phone 8 which is much easier to control on the corporate level than either iOS or Android. But IT groups are too scared to give out the phones due to app envy complaints. Tizen could be the second coming but if it doesn't have a catalogue of a 100k apps day one it won't go anywhere.
