Hi I may be posting in the wrong place but I was wandering if it was possible to port Webos on the inspire. Even though Webos is gone it still would be cool.

I highly doubt that will happen. I may be wrong but I believe WebOS is closed source, meaning that we will more than likely never see WebOS on something that was not meant to run it. I do believe it runs a Linux kernel, but then you would have driver issues (I would imagine).
Once again, I am purely speculating from a NON-programming standpoint.
yeah, highly unlikely. but honestly, after using my touchpad all week, i really wish i had some apps for it. as a tablet OS, its great, but it just needs some apps so the device can actually be used.
I remember talking to some guys in the nexus one dev threads, and while it was definitely within all of our capabilities to try and reverse engineer even a leaked web OS rom, there would be serious legal ramifications. (That is, if it was successfully ported and became mildly popular)
Case in point, ps3, a closed source system/ OS, and geohotz.

hmm... i was just told by an HP rep at my work today that the code is opensource now since HP is no longer supporting it.

First of all forgive me if there is already a thread on this, but I know there is going to be a whole new Android 3.0 which will be on the tablets. Anyway, I was wondering since all these devs will get their hands on it if it will be hitting custom roms in the near future for our phones!?

The htc evo, desire and nexus one already have honeycomb.. Still beta but looks like is work progress
I wish there is a working webOS in my sensation. Anyone with me?
I don't see why someone would do that since ICS is coming
Yeah, but we'd like the freedom to choose
I thought the same thing when I heard Web OS was going open source. I guess it could be posible sicne its linux based and no licensing issues, correct me if I'm wrong. The only thing stoping it is the lack of developers that have a Sensation and would want to spend the time porting it. Not likely in my honest opinion.

I'm sure we'll see it pop up for Android phones eventually.
I'd like to see a merging of the two. There's some things that WebOS does better than Android, and vice versa. I think a "WebDroid" project would be nifty.
Its all dependant on how much they choose to "open". If its just the kernel it won't help much.

Since they announced it as Open source I assume it will be everything that's necessary for OEM's to develop this OS on their respective devices.

I don't see a place for an open source WebOS. There's already a linux based open source mobile smartphone OS thats being used by most of the market; Android. It wouldn't make sense to suddenly drop Android for WebOS, or even to just sell them side by side, there's just no need.
I don't see a port happening, possible, but doubtful that anyone will have the time to do it.

WebOS rivals iOS in sheer polish and usability IMO, if it wasn't for the poor hardware and devices that Palm made, I'm sure it would have done a lot better. It would be nice to have dual boot ICS and WebOS on the Sensation
I would like to see webOS run on sensation . if possible we can do it with dual boot between webOS and android that will be super awesome!

And when ICS comes out, which one are you going to boot into the most on?
Droid life and the verge published an article stating that the evo 3d already has a booting web os 3.0, and has for months. Although it is hacked together and still unfinished this suggests that the sensation could get it, given the devices similarities, with some dev willing to do it.

Why did you revive this year old thread you 2?

Is it posible for WEB OS ported to our Sensation.
Thanks.
Seriously?.....
Hopefully now that HP is releasing Web OS as open source someone will pick up on this. It would be fun to have options like we had with the HD2.

What's wrong with his question ?? The only thing I see wrong is that's its in the wrong section.
I would love to see webOs on my phone its I think its possible because the touchpads hardware is very similar to the sensations and the evo 3d (which already has webos booted)

How about ics on the sensation.
how about no.
I know a webOS engineer got it going on an evo 3D, since that and our Sensations both have similar hardware to the touchpad, so Its not out of the realm of possibility.

Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Developers need an ICS leak to make anything new, how many GB ROMs do you want? As far as the CM9 RIL has proved to be a huge problem. So no, developers still have Thunderbolts they just need something new to work with, instead of pointing fingers at them, point them at HTC.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
While it's not the fault of the dev's, we have been forgotten. The thunderbolt is unfortunately old news and most likely won't have much more activity until we get ICS/JB.
Its more like HTC doesn't give a crap about our phones anymore. It's unacceptable that they haven't put out an update sooner.
I'm still here!
Most phones were forgotten (or stagnated) on Verizon when the Nexus came out. Anyone who didn't see that coming was just a tad short-sided.

Dont blame only HTC. Verizon is also to blame... and VZW is historically known for not providing too many updates.
I dont expect any additional development until ICS is "officially" released for the TBolt.
I dont believe we'll ever see an official release of JB for our phones.

Bionic already has 4 ICS leaks...and blame HTC. Anyway, the Incredible S (GSM Dinc 2) got ICS today. Here's the thing - the Thunderbolt was replaced by the Rezound a long time ago, and it's honestly not that great of a phone anyway. It was the first LTE phone, but the specs were far behind other phones that came out before it. It will be nice when it finally does get ICS (and it will, but remember the 2.3.4 update took a very long time as well), but most people (like me) who bought this phone will have already moved on, or be well on their way to a better phone by the time it finally is released. As far as being forgotten by developers - not forgotten, but they have moved on to better phones. The Thunderbolt is old hat - 1Ghz Snapdragon w/ 768MB RAM, the developers have moved on to better things, for the most part.

That and point really at Google for.this messed up veal they allow which is so stupid. We need to stop overlays on android and have the same user experence as any other device a unified way. On touch six.you select wick widget it brings up any available wick if one is not already selected on sense and stock that does not happen. Not a great user way here.

Pretty sure specs weren't far behind anything when the tbolt came out. If you're this concerned sell it and buy a bionic. Go to craigslist, they are cheap.

WebOS was miles ahead of android and ios. You shouldn't base your decision on the touchpad, a device released after WebOS died and by a different company.

WebOS was incomplete and buggy. The app store sucked and is likely 99% dead.
Android has always been more functional. WebOS was just prettier. Jb has bridged that gap.

Actually i used the pre as well. Webos does multi-tasking really really well and i like the OS but i don't like the lack of apps. I guarantee that people will go back to android unless we can get android apps running on webos.
If WebOS was still around, it'd be a better competitor to Android than Windows Phone is.
If I have nothing else to work on during that time I will look into it. I used to own a touchpad (look at my sig, but it was before i just sold it for a nexus 7 ) and I loved the OS. Its card view is fantastic.
The app store is what killed it though
Still it would be an awesome experience to port it.
I'd be willing to test stuff for you.
I'd absolutely love this. The only thing webOS is missing is some solid hardware!

I'm hoping for and evo shift or evo port. But any who the Touch pad dies not because of HP alone but the lack of advertisement. I feel as if the Touchpad was probably advertised it would have had a better User and Dev response. But with Open WebOS on the Horizon maybe we can add some more apps and maybe better visual customization then what we have currently.

I'd say the lack of apps was because of the lack of decent hardware. I know a lot of people who owned webOS devices at one point and miss the OS dearly, but Palm (and later the bozos at HP) were simply never able to provide any good hardware to upgrade too. The Touchpad was a plastic-y whale, and the Pre 3 was actually quite nice but never got released. Go figure, when they do manage to build a decent device they don't launch it. I don't understand why, but Palm was just never able to put together a hardware dev team worth squat.
I had a pre for a year and while I loved webos.. The hardware reminded me of a cheap Samsung phone...
I don't miss webos nearly as much as I used to because android now has so many aspects of webos....
I'd be down to test a port just for some nostalgia
