Are you kidding me?! What kind of a question is that???? No it won't happen ever!

This would be like replacing a ferarri engine with the guts from a Geo prism.

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 :

Will anyone be porting Open WebOS to the Inspire?

Just wondering if anyone is going to be working on WebOS once it becomes open source to port it to the Inspire.

Don't get your hopes up. It will be a beast of a job to port WebOS, and it will only happen on our phone if a very dedicated developer decides to work on it.

if you are interested in owOS I am part of a group that will be developing the OS and looking into manufacturing a phone to go along with it. If you are interested you can find a little more information at our site phxdevices[DOT]com

I'd like to see this too. I'm a full blown flashaholic android junkie now, but was a WebOS fan before I discovered my love for android.

B2G / FireFox OS

I've been following B2G or as it's now called FireFox OS, for several months. Definitely looks interesting, especially the concept and UI. Did some digging and haven't seen anything about it in our forums yet, so thought I'd get one started.
So far it looks like only a handful of phones have any form of a port of the current version, and I haven't really seen any fully working. Definitely not expecting someone to "jump on it". Mostly just curious s to what people think about it, as well as if they'd consider using or switching to it if it ever became available on our Skyrockets.
For those that don't know what it is, here are a few links:

Why would I use an OS from a company that continually fails to get its mobile browser working right? I love Mozilla products on my PC, but their mobile products are lacking.

Agreed, except I don't use Firefox at all. I'm 100% Opera. I'm just always intrigued by the possibility of a new mobile OS.

Any news for us yet? Will we get it? I hope so!!

Are there any phones that come with Firefox OS standard? I heard about this a while ago, but I don't remember it getting much traction.

Any update to anyone working on B2G? The last time we tried, we didn't have a stable ICS, so I'm thinking it might be easier this time around if it's tried again?
Sent from my 5" Retina XT iPhone running iOS 7

I think the main thing to consider is that the os is built using css and html5. It opens up new possibilities as far as hardware and software can communicate, this is particularly important for battery life as these concepts are developed and implemented into current devices. While I agree i don't use Firefox on android, much prefer dolphin, and I typically don't use Firefox on the pc, chrome kind of guy, that doesn't close me off from new developments. Nobody is asking you to use it, that's why manufacturers aren't shipping Firefox os phones.
On another note, I hard bricked my i9100 flashing b2g (pre Firefox os) because the Odin flash was taking 30+ minutes so I assumed something was wrong and yanked the usb cable during the repartition phase of the flash. Usb jig wouldn't work, never did send it for jtag. If I do however, I'll try it again hahaha :screwy:

Well if it can achieve the aesthetics of ios using a much lighter code, that opens up new possibilities in hardware resource management. Same horsepower less weight means faster car

It also opens up security issues with HTML5 talking directly to hardware... Could be a serious security risk.
I see they have it working on the SGII. But that is all that I have seen...

Good point, however Rome wasn't built in a day, we're finally at the front lines of operating system development, which is a great step forward compared to the traditional model of "here's what we got for you" style of os development. So while you have a valid concern, it's welcomed and I'm confident it's noted somewhere. The key here is to remain consistent with constructive criticism, which if approached in the wrong way is seen as useless *****ing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Are you implying that I am *****ing?
My only point is, while FirefoxOS is a very cool idea. as Google has seen with Android, security is a big concern as they rushed Wallet to the masses and then had to retract it on most carriers/devices. That has left a lasting impression that Google knows Search but not security.
I understand FirefoxOS is in it's infancy and that is why they need to address security now, not later or it will have a difficult time coming to the masses.

WP8 on SGS3

So, if i could get a Ativ dump or some other things from it, is there any chance a dev could port WP8 to the GS3? Knowing they have identitical hardware it doesnt seem impossible, but i have absolutely no idea for sure.

Maybe , id love to get a hands on a dump , to see what would be needed

I hate windows 8 on desktops/laptops and don't particularly care for it on phones but I have to admit I would love to see it ported to pur phones so we could mess around with it! I would live a webos port too, but I think windows 8 would be a little neater.

Windows being closed source I am guessing they can sue if it were to run on another phone.

Jelly Bean is better anyway...

I would think a port from the Ativ Odyssey for Verizon would be the best bet. (It's supposedly the same thing as the Ativ S but for Verizon).

That would probably be the hardest project ever. I thought they were extremely closed source. Like it's hard to even hack it the phones themselves.

Ok, guys, it won't happen. If you have the skill to do it yourself, for yourself only good. As soon as you post it to these forums, you will probably be banned, probably get a c&d from Microsoft, and possibly a lawsuit. You best bet is having a mod close this thread right now.

Just because it's not open sourced doesn't mean it can't be hacked. Apple is a perfect example of that.
It's just a matter of developers actually wanting to hack it. I don't see us reaping any benefit from it other then getting to toy around with it for a few minutes..

The fact that no one has been able to even "jailbreak" a Windows phone makes me think this is highly unlikely. And the token system of unlocking they had does not count. That wasn't actually a hack.
