Hey People and developers! i was wondering if its possible to port meego os to our htc sensation, since meego is based on a linux kernal and i believe its open source. i know not all features would work but if development gets put into this i believe its possible. I hhope to see a developer to try this and i would help in any way possible also htc has released open source sdk(if it helps lol)
Link to a website that shows its possible :

Think you may be in for a major flaming...brace yourself
But I'd say no, to answer your question, and I'd have to respond with why??

haha good answere, my answere is to see something new, e.g miui > too iphonish , Cm7> stock Aosp, Htc sense roms> tweaks to stock sense etc... meego> something new and interesting
I'd say it's possible...MeeGo is indeed based on Linux and is open source...I'll see if I can get anything going when I get home from holidays
To post #2: MeeGo is actually really good...or at least Nokia's version is. When Nokia first announced the N9, I dreamt of a 4.3 dual core MeeGo phone...if MeeGo could be ported to the Sensation, that would be fantastic!
This would be great. Something else to toy around with and meego definately has potential, just that not as many hardware companies have jumped on board compared to android
I would also like to see meeGo. meeGo is interesting and I would to play with it without buying a new phone.
@EddyOS,
If he had mentioned porting and TouchWiz in the same sentence (uh oh I just did) then yeah he'll probably be in for major flaming.

That's what's going around here now, the slogan of this board before 'prepare for flaming' became fashionable was 'because we can'
Anyway, +1 to see meego running on our phones, I'd love to check it out
I think it will be much more feasible after the n9 is released
Lol wow

Didnt see anything in a search for this. Is there anyway to put Android on the iphone, anyone know a tutorial or anything?
Now that would be an improvement!!
Everything is possible if a talanted developer puts enough man hours into it. It won't run smoothly with all the missing drivers and such, but it is doable.
android on the Leo would be much cooler IMO!
... -sigh- ...
Why does almost everybody want android on there phones..
Just buy a android device LOL
before android there were people who wanted iphone osx on their wm phone
and people who wanted wm os on their iphone too
The one constant is that some people are never happy no matter what they're offered, and get off on whining.

Um no its not...but thanks for your useless input
it's not possible.
the iphone os is protected by security certificates.
it was a lot of work developing the jailbreak, through an exploit in the os.
not to mention what work would be to port the complete Android OS.
but why would you do that anyway? Buy a device dedicated to what you need for optimum performance.

If you don't actually care about running WM and want an exclusively android device, rumor has it that HTC will be releasing a 1GHz Android device which may be similar to the Leo, so you might want to wait a while. Besides, Android would run much better on a device with a native Android bootloader and compatible hardware (meaning no tweaks to get it working).

I don't think anyone outside HTC knows the answer to that, only that it will probably be in a while. However, they (may) have a prototype, as shown here, which is a good sign developmentally.
I think Android on iPhone would be pretty sweet too. The iPhone is a nice piece of hardware, but I am a die-hard Android user.
I've done a lot of Google searching, and it seems like there is no news after they got the Linux kernel to run with openiBoot. The HTC Dream (T-Mobile G1) and the iPhone both use ARM11-family processors. I imagine that porting the Java VM over wouldn't be that hard for someone who knows what they're doing.
Kind of sad, really. I would proudly rock an Android iPhone.

Youd probably have to ask the porters of the english version if they have this phone and plan on pushing it to it.

I have no idea. I'm not really a fan of Iphone, I mean MIUI
not trying to hate on MIUI but why buy a nice phone with stock gingerbread if you are going to completely destroy the major reason anyone would get the phone.?
There is a difference between flashing CM7 and MIUI iono just doesnt make sense to me
haha^ your completely right bro
I wasn't going to say anything, but please explain how the MIUI rom "poops" all over the Nexus S? Why do you have a Nexus S?
As an ex MIUI user on the N1 (Launcher pro though - ewwww iPhone UI ) - I'd love to see it on the NS. I'd still buy another NS without a second thought though - amazing phone.
Sorry... I guess I dint word it right. I meant it is amazing as far as the customizations go A lot of cool features on it I would like to see my NS!
As Far as "pooping" all over the Nexus I am only stating this as her Snapdragon is clocked @ 1.8!
Which we will see soon!

The MIUI 12.24 is on my NS now.
Been using MIUI (on my N1 for 2 months).
Have you tried junkdrugglers MIUI theme for ADW launcher on the market? It seems to do decent justice.

I would like to play with MIUI also

in the i9000 it said miui will support both nexus
Yes MIUI is definitely going to support NS as it is the official Google phone like N1. It's just a matter of time.
Was there REALLY a need or use for this thread? I mean, seriously!? It doesn't contribute anything...at all. I hate to be a **** but it surely twists my balls when I see a thread like this. Just wait and see, I'm sure an MIUI ROM will come sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. Have a nice evening .
This Is just a wish... A desire..

I'm all for people voicing their opinions. However, this thread does not involve voicing any opinion. It is, more or less, an attempt to get someone to port MIUI to the Nexus S. I don't think it, in any way, involves "Themes" or "Apps." Just sayin'! I hope someone does port it just so threads like this cease to exist . That's all from me.

Well, the WebOS forums will be much more active after today!
Sweet
So that makes webOS another free mobile phone OS for companies to choose, and puts it in much more direct competition with Android (or might in time). I won't be surprised to see a lot of webOS phones in a few months.
now i want the guys at xda to do some cool **** with webos and i want more activity over here for web os
there will be a lot more activity on the precdntral forums....good news cuz I actually like webos despite the overwhelming-ness of android
Problem is HP aren't manufacturing any more devices. That's the killer...

Will it ever be possible to port webOS to an Android device?

There's already some really early talks on the direction to take on PreCentral. This is going to be awesome. If my Nexus S ever runs ICS and webOS, I will flip.

Does webOS offer anything we can't get from ICS? If so, would it make sense to create some sort of hybrid of webOS and Android that has the best of both and is able to run apps for both?

I think webOS on a galaxy tab 8.9 form factor would be my ideal device. Portable, thin, light and a great OS,
would love some webos on my htc sensation!
Have they pushed the code yet? I want to download it.
it seems every single day at the moment there is a new rom in the dev section, having a sensation seems to be finally paying off.
Theres nothing really new, just sense 3.x with practically nothing extra, IMHO. Only seen 1 AOSP ROM (yikes)
Glad you're more optimistic then me lol

Apart from the new MIUI rom...everything has been the same.

There's more than just Sense 3.x. There's plenty of Sense 4 ROMs now too which are very nice indeed
Ok I am I missing something or has every post in this thread missed something? Development is not just making custom ROMs. Don't get me wrong custom ROMs are great but with Qualcomm releasing the driver binaries for the Adreno 2xx Snapdragon processors., and the work being done on making the Sensation unbrickable. The Sensation is on the path to be a very valuable development device which means it is going to be open to loads of development. I would even dare say it has a capability to reach some of the level of development that the HD2 has. The driver binaries is enough on it's own as it opens up the possibility of custom bootloaders and booting of different OS's on the Sensation, I mean we do have S-off, and a official unlock from HTC Dev. Either one of these can be compared to HSPL for the HD2, without it non of the thing achieved on the HD2 would have every happened. Then you have the unbrickable work being done, this will make developers really want it because they know they have somewhat of a earth net and can revive the Sensation if they make a mistake and have to revive it. Even the legendary HD2 has never reached this status......

HD2 is capable of WM, WP, Android, Ubuntu....far more than just Android on the Sensation. But I can see your point.

Yeah this is why I said some of the level of development. The HD2 can boot almost OS thrown at it. But I do see a real possibility of custom booloaders for the Sensation. And when you have a custom bootloader the next step is booting different OS's.
Go take a look at the G2x dev forum. Wow. Its empty.

Even if they do I can't see a port happening, like the Nexus One and Desire have the same chip as the Mozart, HD7 and a few others IIRC but those two haven't had ports AFAIK.

You mean natively (as in booting straight to Ubuntu) or within Android? I use BackTrack 5 in Android, it was a fun ride but I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 anyway so meh. If its native though, that would be awesome.
Also to the guy that I didn't feel like quoting who mentioned that multiple OSes on the Sensation in his mild rant; we would barely even have much of a chance to do such a thing. The closest we could do is Boot 2 Gecko, since the drivers are pretty much cross compatible. The Galaxy S II has it.

Hey guys..
So while googling for "Sense UI on Galaxy Note" I came across this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217752
Is something like this possible on our note? The hardware and software are very similar on both S2 and Note so shouldn't be much of a problem to port something like this to the GN, right?
Wondering what devs have to say about this.. I am quite sure there are more people and am not the only one who would like to try out sense on our GN.. Nothing wrong with choices!

You should probably have read the forum, it was a work in progress and it did not work out, and the last post is the moderator closing that forum. I doubt we will ever see sense on our devices.

There is a working build of Sense on the Galaxy Nexus fyi. Porting other manufacturers roms is a very difficult procedure from what I've seen. Only porting roms across a manufacturers devices seems much more easier e.g. HTC One series to HTC Sensation.

Yeah I understand that. Still, sometimes I feel like getting a HD2. Wish there could be a phone with the specs of GN (screen basically ) that comes with all the OSes pre installed. Now THAT would be fun.

Porting and developing the Sense UI should be technically possible. However I think you will find the main problem being that Sense UI is protected by HTC copyrights which they enforce as soon as HTC software is moved to non-HTC devices. This would I believe mean that if it was developed it would not be allowed on XDA Forums as this is not a pirate site. ( I might be wrong )

Adding to that, I think the devs could be in trouble too for developing it, whether or not it's on XDA or anywhere.
