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.

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.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
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.

it's already been done on several phones, the normal desire, the desire hd, nexus one...
So maybe it's also possible on the desire S?
I saw in a video a guy with his DHD, make the boot.img from meego launch over adb in bootloader...
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA App
I don't like MeeGo, it's on one phone, and no news on future handsets. BUT, the only way this can be done is through a DHD port or an HD2 port.
Jup. Thats true, i got meego and ubuntu running on my friend his DHD. But when i tried it at my DS, i got stuck at the white htc screen. I'll run it again tomorrow or wednesday, with a logcat.

Well, i think there are several reasons.
1. To show what the Desire S is capable of, against other 'big' phones like the Desire, DHD, HD2 and nexus
2. There are now many many roms you can use for Android, it starts to bore a little, Meego is a exciting new challenge
3. Meego isnt that big yet, and has a lot of oppertunitys.
4. And so on...

Is it posible for WEB OS ported to our Sensation.

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)
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e with Beats Audio using xda premium
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.

Do u really need it?! I think android is much better! WP7 too. Imho porting webos - just waste of time....
Well as most of you might of heard, webos has finally been released in beta to the public. I was just wandering if anyone would take on the challenge of bringing such amazing OS to a phone that i think its perfect in form factor and everything for it. And i think the sooner development starts on the One X with webos well the more accostumed developers will get and maybe with future releases from hp the One X could be one of the devices to get early builds from them. Its just a request after all though, i think it would make a lot of us hapoy to see it
Its one of my long terms goals, over the course of the next year or so, now that things with JB have smoothed over. Though it might not even happen... may be impossible. The OS is entirely different than Android. The only thing they share is the Linux kernel (which still needs heavy modification).
No ETAs. Ever.
If you want to contribute and you can contribute to the project, let me know via PM or email.
but i saw that web os is ported to htc evo 3d already.how is evo 3d different from our phone?
Because this forum doesn't have the same developers as the EVO, save reason why the One S hasn't got it either.

It kind of is but the fact is that our device isn't as popular as others in attracting developers. While the ones we do have are great, it simply can't match the number of developers for other devices which makes large projects like this more achievable.

Ehh that's sorta true but it only takes one dev, I've been around both big and small communities on xda and its usually just one big dev who comes through with the break through that paves the way for the less experienced devs

Really not a smack in the face at all to our current devs. Our current devs may just not be interested in webOS. They're busy making better stuff for what we have now. and doing a mighty good job thus far. You can't fault them for not having the interest in webos (i personally would consider running it just to say i could, but i'd be back on CR probably within a couple hours.
As a touchpad owner i guarantee you will hate webos because of the lack of apps.
It's funny to see people request android on touchpad and people request webos on android

Have to agree there. WebOS had (has?) so much potential.... In some ways it's still superior to Android. But without apps, its pretty useless. With no OEM backing it anymore... Where's the incentive to develop?
It has crazy potential though. Back it the early Android porting days of the Touchpad, someone created an android environment that ran entirely as a WebOS page for running apps. If an OEM could pull that off, they'd have the best of both worlds.
With all these new phones coming out it's hard to pick which one will have the best/most developer support. Back about 1-2 years ago there were many phones but only a few "great" high end ones so most of the developers were on those all at the same time. Now there are many high end phones on all networks and internationally so the developers are spread out. It wasn't a problem before, but now I won't buy a phone at launch, no matter how great, before I see what the development will be like. I made that mistake with the Galaxy Note for AT&T. The development there wasn't even close to the international version.
The One X is an incredible phone. Imagine what it would be like with the amount of development that the Nexus or even the Evo 3d has? It's kinda sad that this phone doesn't have that much popularity with more developers. It's a better phone all around than the Nexus or Evo 3d.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Actually I can't say that I won't buy a phone again without looking at the development because I do plan on getting the Note 2 at launch. The tough part is gonna be figuring out which version to get. It's probably gonna be like the sgs3. Some of the versions have more development than the others.

Well nothing impossible but No you wont be able to and likely never will. As others have said is closed source BUT it IS possible to run on our device but because we cannot get to sources we cannot get it to go on out device If we some how got the sources then yes it would more than likely be ported to our device. Would take a very very long time as all drivers would need to be written for our device and i cant see any dev putting that much time and effort in on a project like that
KernelDev101 is right. The hardware could run it, in the same way that any PC can run Windows or Linux (or even MacOS!), but porting Windows 8 to the phone is another story. The opposite would be easier, I mean, porting Android to a Windows8 phone and it has been done before. Somebody even tried to port Android to an old Dell PDA and it worked, but the old hardware couldn't do very much of use due to the requirements of a much younger software.
The main problem of porting Windows8 to any Android (or whatever) phone is pretty much the same as porting IOS: The source code is not available to public so you would need to do a lot of reverse engineering and trial and error and you probably would end with a version of it that supports only partially your hardware. Not because it is impossible to support it in full but because it would require a considerable effort to achieve a full working port.
Damn y'all smart Lol
