Does that mean we might see a port on our phones?
Sent from Oxygen 2.3.2 powered Nexus S 4G
I suppose if they release everything like kernel source I don't see why not. Personally I'd love to see webOS on my nexus s

I sure hope we do.
Not that I plan on changing to it permanently, but it might be cool.
I would PAY big to get webOS on the Nexus S 4G!!
I formally owned the Palm Pre and the Pixi. The pre had horrible hardware but the OS was beautiful, simple, elegant, and overall a pleasure to use.
So... I will lend my girlfriend for two weeks to the first developer to make this possible.

With the UnBrickable Mod?
I read that webOs was ported to the Evo, and many mobile Os can be flashed on the HD2.
So, is possible to see other mobile Operating systems on our smartphone?
Share your experience, i wanna know about the incredible world of mobile operating systems
Happy New Year 2 all the estimated Developers and all the members of XDA!!!

Far from it. The reason we'll probably never see webos or wp7 on the nexus s is that neither of those os's are fully open source like android, in fact wp7 is completely closed source.
webOS was ported to the Evo 3D but virtually nothing worked from what I remember, making it far from useful, useable, or anything past booting really.
Ios - Never been ported to anything non-apple (as far as I know).
Meego - Possible I guess, but I dont know why anyone would bother putting that amount of time into it.
WebOS - Looking possible, its going open source i hear, but the nexus S community is only going to decrease due to the release of the Galaxy Nexus
Windows Mobile - Dead
Windows Phone 7 - This was ported to the HD2 as the HD2 was used as a test phone for the OS and the drivers got leaked! Microsoft used it as it was a high spec Windows Mobile phone. (It got android as it was very similar to other HTC phones that ran Android, such as the N1 and Desire)
Ubuntu - I guess, probably wouldn't be too hard to get going, why anyone would want to I have no idea.
BB OS - hahaha...
so.... no interest.

I realize this isn't what you're looking for, but if you're just interested in emulating the WP7 look, give Launcher7 from the market a try. I'd also recommend using the Ubermusic music player with the optional metro theme.

I am looking for developers to develop a ROM for the HTC Shirft or the Samsung 7in Tablet from Sprint that dual boots Ice Cream Sandwhich and Webos.
Both OSes on the device would be sweat

Personally i like Webos. But about 70% of others don't. most likely because of it's lack of customization and apps. It would be nice to see the dying OS ported to other devices to give it new life, but don't get your hopes up.
The devs simply don't seem to be too interested in porting Webos to other devices.

I know it is sad for lack of support but Webos fans will support this. A person on one of the Webos forums is trying to wire the HTC Shift to work with the touchpad's charging dock, so there is still hope!
WebOS isn't open source yet, that's why nobody is porting it. -_-
It's not open source YET, but in a few month it will be and I'm hopeful that some devs will port it on other devices then.
The are two things I'm a bit worried about is webOS for other phones. Since I read a blog post which was all about the open source plan of HP I afraid that only the Touchpads 3.x webOS will be open sourced.
The other thing is the maybe missing feature of using gestures on phones. I mean webOS is all about gestures and I love to use my Pre3 with these gestures and the special gesture area, cause it's easy to use and superfast. But when ported on a phone, let's say a Galaxy S2, will there be gestures or does the user have to use the stupid buttons?
the enyo framework stuff was released today.

Grave digging this thread but I'm curious as well. Love the WebOS. Would be highly interested if it was portable to Skyrocket. Yes, I would do that to my skyrocket.

My vote is to port it to a device with a massive user base, such as my SGS2, or an HD2. I still play with my Pre- and it sits on my coffee table. After reading The Verge post mortem I understand why it died, but it still is the best UX hands down. Imagine it running on blazing fast hardware, but I wonder how much is lost without a keyboard?
It seems that everyone has move on from webOS within the android community (well, almost everyone). I am one of the die hard fans of the OS and continue to use it daily. Of course, my needs for an OS are different from many , and I come from a solid Linux/Unix background. I have used palm products for years and followed webOS from the beginning. There are times when I come off like a fanboi for webOS but it has seemed to be an elegant solution for true multi tasking from the beginning. I hear most folks here talking of the untimely demise of webOS and cannot help but wonder if they have decided not to follow the development of Open WebOS. The community edition of webOS is due out in Sept and there are a number of major improvements coming with it. There is also the Phoenix project which may be building another tablet running the open source WebOS.
For those who have moved on from webOS and are satisfied with android, I bid you fair well. I will continue to work within the webOS community and look forward to future development. For those who are still on the fence, I would suggest a bit of patience as there are good things in the future of webOS and this fall really isn't that far off. Whichever OS you choose, remember that the touch pad that you have is still one of the few dual boot tablets on the market and (for those who were not early adopters) was purchased for a reduced price that would be hard to match by any other tablet manufacturer. The hardware is still pretty good compaired to most all dual core tablets and is still able to run cutting edge android builds. This alone would be a good argument for sticking with the touch pad but I stick with it for the things it continues to do well within webOS.

I remember when I had my pre you could place your phone in dev mode (root) by a simple dialer code reboot and itd be unlocked then you can install preware and from there install anything you want. I remember patches that added lots more functionality to the OS. Much simpler than android

I'll buy the lack of apps argument, but customization? Kiddin' me? Installing Preware couldn't be any easier if they tried. Only Windows Mobile was easier than webOS.
I would defiantly try it on my skyrocket.

Ideally webOS that could run Android apps would be great. The UX on webOS is second only to Windows Phone IMO, but webOS needs the app power of Android.
I had a Pre+ for a weekend but after the third time swapping it out because of hardware problems, I gave up on it. The hardware was always the problem. They should have had HTC manufacture it like the Treos.

I'd run it on my X8 I like the look of WebOS and nearly bought a PalmPre when they were released!
It would be great to see a revival of the software

Is there any chance we are getting WebOS ported to the Sensation at all? it would be nice to have more variety for our amazing devices
Any thoughts?
I am interested in it myself but seeing as I have only compiled Android from source I have been looking for more info on how to set up to build it from source. I image it is a lot like compiling Android but I am not sure. Also I am not sure if we will have to modify or even compile a completely new kernel just for WEB OS. If anyone else has some input I am all ears.
Edit: Thanks to the XDA Portal story I got a link to what I have been looking for
the palm pre, for its time, was an amazing design with an even better OS.. too bad for palm. webos could have been android if they had a better plan.

Yessss I think so.
It would be perfect if our sensation can dual boot webos.
Hopefully.
it would be even better if we got Android Applications working under WebOS. If that ever happens, i don't see myself using android for an extended period of time. for some reason WebOS feels more sturdy and put together than android for me
How does it work with different chipsets?

This would be amazing.
Hello everyone, so i know that this is mainly an android forum, but i wanted to see if anyone was interested.
Im probably going to get the Photon Q to replace my Franken Pre 2, just cuz I can live with android now that its matured a bit more since i played with it on my dads galaxy s 2 (god i hated pre 4.0 android lol).
I wanted to know if any developers would be interested in porting WebOS now that all the source code is available. Honestly i know there isnt a demand but I know there has to be a few WebOS fans out there that would love to see it on this phone.
Thoughts?
Thanks
open webos isnt even running good on the galaxy nexus. let alone for the s4 chipset

The port on the galaxy nexus is not running good yet because its in VERY EARLY alpha stages, as would this if someone decided to start it. I fully understand that a port is not going to come in a week or anything like that, its going to take a serious amount of time regardless what phone it is. But if nobody starts you cant finish
I'd be willing to test that. I loved webos.

So Ubuntu announced some new stuff for us yesterday.....
http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/phone
22 min video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cpWHJDLsqTU
At the 21 minute mark he says if your phone works with Android then it will work with Ubuntu.... I wonder how that process will work. I also am interested in how to get all our awesome Android apps working too. Another problem will be the lack of video out for us... Anyways, discuss!!
I myself am getting pretty excited about this, I wasn't planning on getting a new phone til the flexible phones came out but this is big news! I might even trade for a Nexus if the dock is small and portable. I wonder how quick it will be ported to our phone?
I'm very excited myself. However in a few months I leave on a LDS mission and will be out with no tech. For 2 years. So I'll only hope this gets put on our phone

ZDNet had a nice article on it but it sounds like it will be an option for the manufactures to offer than a ROM to port.. Ubuntu offers an arm version that you can install and run from within android and that works great, it already works WITH android, this would basicly be an option for the carrier to provide, at Ubuntu there is a link to get their assistance in building ubuntu for specific devices if someone with more time wants to chase it a little. it would be pretty awesome tho.

Yea I think they chose the galaxy nexus because there is full source release instead of the nexus 4. I am hoping that wont be too much of a problem and we can just mod the original release and it wont be too much of a problem. I'm pretty sure android stuff will work with it too, just we will have to download an emulator or some sort. I'll be keeping an eye on this one...
