Hi, I don't want be rude and talking badly to the Samsung Galaxy but a new device with Android OS that has only a 3.2Camera and no- Flash seems bit absurd don't you think? The name has nothing to do with the real world...a galaxy or a star usually is very bright...with this phone you cannot even make photo or video in the night time...mmmm....not a galaxy whatsoever................
All I can say is: Stay with HTC models!
But the procesor and the chipset is a lot better then the crappy qualcomm. If only HTC start to use different processors.
Qualcom chip
Are you sure about that? I have an Htc Diamond 2, a Sony Xperia X1, and Htc Hero, they are perfect ! before that a Samsung D900...it was fine...nice phone but I could not do it the things I do with Htc or Sony.
u cannot compare phones with different OS, and I dont know what chip was used in D900. I am talking about Snapdragon(Qualcomm) vs. Hummingbird(Samsung).

have you seen the galaxy videos? it takes like 5+ secs to actually getting in to the gallery after pressing it. it seems kinda slow to me. unless that's because of the software being beta or something, that's slow to me.
@ qualcomm vs hummingbird: qualcomm will come out soom enough with dualcores.

1. seen that, especially the "Lady" that was clicking on icons like she was mad and launching few programs at the same time, but who knows.
and after qualcomm will come with dualcore, samsung will come with better dualcore.
I think there were some benchmarks comparisons, will try to find them.

Hello,
i was actually wondering if anybody knows how to Mod correctly a galaxy.
I have a galaxy from the middle east which does not come with marketplace. the I7500JVIL2. I have flashed it using ODIN to another rom I7500xiik, however many options stopped working like sdcard, camera, etc... i flashed it to 1.6, camera started working but sdcard still doesn't.
So, I was wondering if there is any way to get this fixed. I need sdcard so that I flash using recovery mod. I'm trying to flash it back to the original build I7500JVIL2, hoping this will make everything work again.
Do you think this is a good solution? Are there suggestions you can make on another build to use that has marketplace and everything working on the phone.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I couldn't find anything regarding galaxy on XDA and I love this forum. I habe been able to succesfully mod my g1 through this forum.
Thanks,
VENI VIDI VICI

For me the only thing to like about the galaxy is it's name
I just realized that you are talking about the galaxy(i7500) and not about galaxy s(i9000).
BTW galaxys, you should sue samsung for using your nick.
Personally I wouldn't touch a Samsung with a bargepole, I have owned a few Samsung phones, where the phones tend to be okay they do not support them at all with firmware updates, they have a remarkable release rate of phones and rather than supporting the current ones they just release a new one!
Galaxy name
Yeah your right only the name is cool....I don't know why people don't pay attention to the market...We have around in Uk at list 10 top of the range mobiles, starting with HTC HD2, Htc Desire, Htc Legend, Nexus One, Diamond 2, Motorola Milestone, Nokia n900, Omnia2 and so on....Why buying the Galaxy?. I will give you another example: Which would you buy between Htc Desire and Sony Xperia X10???...Of course the Desire!!! they have the same price but Desire is on another planet: Android 2.1, Multitouch, better Keyboard, better interface...Maybe..the only thing Xperia X10 has better then Desire is the Camera that's all...Xperia X10 is basically a 2009 device sorry arrived to late!
Hello, im so happy at last samsung galaxy spica have a new home here in XDA
forum. Since i've using this phone i found that samsung galaxy spica only have a
very small number of developer. What a pitty, since this phone have a huge
hardware potential like multi touch capable chip, even some forum found that
spica has a 256mb RAM chip but somehow only about 160mb active.
So im looking forward for developer to help us spica user to unleash true spica power..

not only the hardware i guess, lots of pepole were using samsung spica as it is, since the other android phones were highly priced....so samsung galaxy spica is a well balanced phone between price and ability
What Theoo means by looking forward for a developer to unleash samsung spica true power is not just an empty hope (i guess...)
I recently bought samsung galaxy spica and my first impression is............I DONT NEED ANY SMARTPHONE AGAIN
Hope there will be someone who can deliver samsung spica to its full potential
Infact its a really capable phone.But samsung has written poor divers for it.The 3D experience is horrible.
There are many good developers like leshaK who r working really hard for its development but developing a phone is not a one man's show.
As said above,the phone is capable of multi touch support,it has a 800mhz processor which can be well overclocked like in case of moment,it has a second microphone which seems to be of no use.
If some good developers work on making drivers for this powerful phone,we can use the full hardware capabilities of this phone.

Yeah, like u said, its not one man show. Thats why i hope with our new home here @XDA, someone out there will be interested to develop driver or even roms for our spica. so in the future spica user will have many developer.

1. The Galaxy Spica has 256 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM. But only 146 was made visible to the OS.
2.It has a FM capable chip BCM4325, but was not implemented.
3.QT5480 chip is multitouch capable but was not implemented .(hopefully will work in android 2.x ROM)
U can look here for more information

Yes spica has the ability to update to 2.2.but samsung never update their old phone. I7500 for example. It's stop in 1.6.(official fw) .and samsung don't update spica. We have some good developers in samdroid. And leshak give us a 2.2.but not perfect . I hope xda developer can help us build a working 2.2. Our cpu s3c6410 support 3d but no drive. What a pity!

Thankfully tom3q working on a brand new 3D driver, but he might be happy for a little a help.
Since he is writing the driver for froyo, I think now our first step must be a stable & working froyo on the spica!
If some developer would like to help in that, the actual state of development can be seen here: forum.samdroid.net/f9/dev-android-2-2-froyo-samsung-i5700-alpha-2-gprs-3g-wifi-11-07-2010-a-1408
P.S.
I would like to say thank you to the XDA Developer team for making the Spica forum!
Adding myself to the bunch of people looking forward to spica development...
Didn't expect to see Spica around here. I'm glad it's here now though, might catch the attention of developers. I agree with some of the people who have mentioned the Spica being crippled by Samsung's poor implementation and support for this device.
I bought the phone in May, and love it for the things that it can do. I just feel that it's too early for Samsung to drop it and move on to their newer phones. This phone has a lot of potential.
Props to Leshak for working hard to improve the Spica. I hope more devs can pitch in.
Hey,
Why is there no android version for the N8?
Could anyone create it? There is enough animo for it.
If i read some forums I see that some people want it. Why not?
Also it has the best mobile camera in the world.
If someone can run android on it it would be the best device ever. (I think)
I could find an answer on this forum. But I think this is already changed.
(That there isn't enough animo for it. But there is!)
I'm also a newb in this world. But I like android and the compatibility that the most devices already have with it.
Kevin
I dont know if its that simple. I dont rly know if the android suitable for N8, anyway would be nice to have it (even though that i have HD2, which i think that is much better than N8.) If its possible, my friends will have android too! xD
indeed!
I think an android developer must buy an n8.. that he can see it's a wonderfull device.
And then create android for it.
Not all phones are like hd2, where you can have different os
Sent from HTC HD2 with Android
Not all people wants a HD2
you are not alone my friend!
I too wish the N8 had Android.
It is a much better device than the HD2, screen size isn't everything.

anything is possible, it just takes time.
and in the HD2's favor, it had hardware that was common across different platforms.
plus a big userbase
Isnt the N8 nokia soft based on Debian? couldn't drivers be ported my friend has this device and yes the camera is amazing on it
I thougt it was only meego and maemo wich is debian based?
i was thinking to get a nokia n8 untill ive found out that nokia had very low quality development for that new symbian version, and that they moved torwards windows mobile... i never liked windows mobile and since they were not going for android i said whats the point, on paper the nokia n8 is amazing, but it has some problems aswell, for example the cpu is only 625mhz, while its arguably enough to run android, im not entirely sure it has all the instruction sets compatible with it, emulation is out of the question too, the android code would have to be natively changed to work for it, and then there had to be the matter of games, they also had to be coded properly for that specific gpu,cpu and sound chip, accelerometer and so on.
So thats why ppl dont usually port phones to android, its a mess to code and most of the drivers they have to code them from scratch.

The CPU is official build for 750mhz. So it can run faster.. Also i heard that the new version of android (3.0?) has hardware acceleration for the UI. So the GPU can be used for it.
cpu for android need nore juice and ram.
battery life will be hunger for more to join android.
nokia seem battery effective device.low power consumption

Why?
The HTC ChaCha and Salsa has a 600 mhz processor... And still Android runs on it.
Indeed the ram is littlebit low 256 mb...
Chacha is 800Mhz, 512 of ram..
yeah i wish that someone would find a way to port android to n8 i recently got one and dont like symbian os, any way i'll keep on searching if no luck, guess i have to get an android phone
Edit: forgot to say i had a sony ericsson x8 which had 600 Mhz processor and 256mb ram and i was even able to run android 4.0 on it dunno why n8 would not run on this device
The question is why port android to N8? The N8 is a wonderful device as is. If you have an N8 you probably bought it for it's camera prowess. Bonus: you get a very long battery life (compared to droids). Now if you want to port android on it then it will become power hungry and will be full of glitches since it has poor dev support. Also, you wouldn't want a slow droid. 600mhz for a droid is quite slow, and as stated, the RAM is low. You're better off buying an affordable Galaxy Y. Believe me it's quite fast, if you can live with it's low res screen.
Cheers,
Cezar

it's not possible to port Android or any other OS to symbian phones because of locked bootloaders by Nokia
Nokia n9 is running meego OS which is with unlocked bootloaders and that's why this phone can have dual boot or just one OS like Android 4.x.x ICS
I want it too
I have an Nokia N8 too and i would love to run android on it.
So if there is any way to install android on it....
I also have nokia n8, it was really a great phone,hi quality build, superb. And I fine with symbian^3 but what bothering me was that the nokia apps store is getting useless. I need BBM and can't find any.
Can our HTC CHa Cha run Jelly Bean and is someone of our DEVs capable of Porting it to the phone ?
Tasadar, Let's be a bit optimistic. I am sure its a product of their time availability as well. This is a hobby after all!
I would be interested in stuff like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815962 which promises to make it automated!
I don't think it's a matter of whether it -can- run it, as whether someone will actually port it.
So far ICS/CM9 is going very well, and runs very smoothly, and from what I've heard - JB/CM10 runs even faster in general, so would in fact be ideal for this device.
The biggest thing is porting device drivers/libraries, such as for the cameras, which even in the ICS/CM9 port only one of the two currently works.
Be patient, and I'm sure we'll see at least an attempt, if not a full JB port in the future
I can't say it will work or not, but if I have time I'll try to see how it goes after the holidays (mid September).

Yeah, right now I'm curious why I posted in the wrong thread... and in other threads as well..
I'd really like to see some work on this if anyone is willing to take it up. I'd -love- to start it myself, but to be entirely honest, I would have zero idea on where to start.
I know that CM10 is currently running on the Samsung Galaxy Gio, which is significant in that it runs the same(or nearly the same) processor as the ChaCha.
(it uses a 800MHz Qualcomm QCT MSM7227-1 Turbo, whereas the ChaCha lists 800MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7227 Turbo, both are ARMv6)
The Gio has less ram, and less storage.
So at the very least we can assume the device will at least -run- JB/CM10.
I am aware that the CM9 port isn't entirely perfect yet, and that rom porting must be very difficult, particularly with getting the internal devices working correctly(network, camera, etc)
but I have a feeling this will be well worth the effort.
I recently tried out CM10 on my Acer A500 Iconia Tablet, and WOW! the speed was at least doubled from either the stock GB rom, as well as the unofficial CM9 port.
If it can do so much for a more powerful device, imagine what it could do for our beautiful - yet underpowered - phone, the ChaCha/Status.
I would also be more than willing to put my phone on the line to help test where testing is needed.
Please, someone, take this up!
hey guys,
always beeing fascinated about webos and it beeing the first platform with true multi tasking i remember back the days thinking abaout buying an HP device...
we all know, except the touchpad you wont get that much support anymore..
but now the open webOS project beeing released and me beeing the one testing out all and everything with my p500 i would like to know if it is possible to run webOS on our device?
Greetz
Robert
Maybe yes but i dont think developers are interested to port the os
Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk 2
why do you think that?
can any1 telll what hardware specs are required for this os.. ? if our device meets them... i would love to try and see if its possible to port it.. :good:
searching...
EDIT:
seems to be quite hard to find anything requirements related...
i continue searching but i would appreciate others searching too

i also searched a bit... i got the devices running this os.. it was hp pre 2 and 3 ... and their cpu were lik snapdragon 1.4 ghz .... i guess it would be a bit difficult to get it work.. :fingers-crossed:
i am also not able to find a download link.. :silly:
well yeah the pre and the touchpad...
i mean jb and ics were not supposed to run on our devices and...well they do...
i guess you have to compile from the source:
scroll down to source
helpful? hope so...
ok guys i found out that a friend of mine is a developer of this project
webos in the current stadium cannot be installed anywhere!
it requires a linux 3.3 kernel not even the old palm devices are able to run webos
just want to add:
my laptop is running the latest ubuntu 12.04 and its kernel is...
3.2.0-29-generic <-- this is lower than the required kernel for a mobile OS ?!
this is a fail -.-
anybody knows which kernel runs on s3 or nexus?
Palm pixi has 600 armv6 processor
It might be possible
