Well, my company is now forcing everyone to use a palm pre 2 as their business phone. I'm not too happy about it'll but then again, I know litterally nothing about it or WebOS. So, I'm asking the awesome community here for some advise.
I've searched, but only found a small WebOS section here. Did I happen to overlook a Palm Pre 2 Section?
I've also searched Google and elsewhere, but have seen very little development wise for it. Is there any chance for custom ROMs or even android on it or is WebOS going to be worth keeping? I guess I'll be finding out myself in a few weeks, but I kinda wanted to get a headstart on it and be ready to flash or customize it so it will be as useful as possible. ;-)

I think we might have pissed them off pretty bad.
Yes they created a sub-forum for us.
Just so that we will stop whining.
But I feel it will stop right there.
Devs may not come in to support our device.
They will probably get the devs to boycott our device n never produce anything.
Then they will claim, "We opened a forum as requested but never promised to offer support for it......".
I'm not saying it will happen, but u never know.
Just my thoughts and rambles......

XDA mods do not have control over the devs.

Do not worry my friend....
We have already 2 custom roms in production and 1 chinese custom rom it seems.
The sun shines on I9103....
calm down friends,there is no need to fight against the admins.
IMO :
Even s2 users(Or fan-boys ) hate tegra. I don't know why. I am new here. I don't know what happened before. But we have much other things to do.
just leave them.
don't worry about ROMS.
Now Samsung confirmed ICS & more people will buy this phone.
And, I think that Chinese devs already have 2 ROM( i used google translater). here some devs are trying to do. in the future we will have more...

S II fan-boys hate Galaxy R because:
- they can not accept that there is a device that looks exactly like the S II
- they can not accept that there is a device that does the same as the S II
- they can not accept that we can support Tegra 2 Games NATIVELY (we have a tegra 2 processor) and they have to use a software mod to do that
- they can not accept that our device costs less then theirs
- they can not accept that if we overclock our i9103 to 1.3 Ghz, our device is much faster then a stock SII at 1.2 Ghz
But as you say, ignore the Galaxy R haters.
Our success is the best answer.
Peace!
the new Xiaomi phone looks pretty amazing- http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/16/xiaomi-phone-2-quad-core/
the previous xiaomi phone was quite good, but saw no love on the forums. They're possibly planning on releasing the Mi2 in Europe as well as China, so hopefully we'll see some support when this thing is released in the fall! I'd love to rock this thing with some custom ROMs.
Anyone planning to get one?

Are there any non-smartphones in this forum? I thought there must be at least one basic/feature phones must be cool enough to talk about in this forum. How about the best cheapest phone out there, the $18 Blu Tank II? It has so many features it is almost like a smartphone, it just does not have data.

out of curiousity.. what kind of cpu is on the non smartphone phone? this will give you the answer btw..
its not about how cool the phone is, just so you know.
They don't have the CPU listed. So it must not have one. Ha, ha, ha. Just joking. I get the point.

According to Huawei, the Honor 8, Honor 6X, Honor 5C, and Huawei P9 will get EMUI 5.1 update by May end this year. See full story here ?? http://huaweiadvices.com/huawei-emui-5-1-update-eligible-devices-release-date/
I doubt it will roll at the end of this month. Everyday Im checking Early access in HiCare, and there where no any beta test available, not even mentions about it.
There is no way that Huawei would just like that publish next big update without proper test, like we had with 5.0
True that Huawei is not best at rolling updates, but still when you compare it to ther OEMs its no difference at all, and all other companies have test before publishing major updates, and because they are region dependent, we should saw at least few roms based on 5.1 roam around forum from Asia or Europe.

Well this news is from the Official Huawei site so we should be expecting these roll outs as scheduled. May be not OTA as it will have delays but on the Firmware Finder App.
I guess nothing we can do but wait for it to come. Hopefully this news is legit...
Why test, if base is still 7.0.

Dont get me wrong but this is some retarded reasoning you have here....
Why test at all if its still Android? Why test if its still a phone? Why test if most of people buy new phone after 2years? Why test if 90% of people that use android, dont even know what screen resolution their phone have?
maybe because EMUI 5.1 have few new features that affect user experience? Maybe because they fix/make new bugs when implementing those features?
Jesus Christ its like explaining that water is wet, sun is shining and wind is blowing...
@Akinaro, let me say this.
They have P10 to test all things and just backport to P9, so they tested it since last november. If we clearly look, they only changed code of 5.0 and added the features to it. Its not a major update from google, just one from huaweis side, that only changed their own code.
Bugs can be everywhere, look on latest B383 and B386. We can also think, if they allready testing some code in this builds.
The EVA-L19C185B387 got allready something of that, a new kernel build 5.0.0.3, as SP1 marked, so they doing and mostly ditched to release official builds on 5.0 to work on 5.1.
You just prove my point....
they only changed code of 5.0 and added the features to it

You just said what I said: they added features that need to be tested, because they changed code of 5.0...
And no one will more than few brain cells would test new ROM on never devices and then backport it straight to older model... you realize how it sound?

What the point? Just because it was not google update it doesnt require testing? Seriously?
And even if they ditched 5.0 and jumped to 5.1 it doesnt change anything, if you, as you self mentioned, changed code and added new features that really can affect user experience(for example new memory management ) It doesnt need proper testing like any other update?
My point is still valid: saying that new update doesnt need testing is just retarded.

What is the point of this discussion?
that this update would need beta testing just like any other rom, and overall is rather not possible that Huawei would release globally that update for P9 before end of this month.
On the side not part of this discussion what about seriously useless reasoning of dkionline that say "just because its based on android 7 i doesnt need testing".
Such thinking need to be pointed out as stupid, if someone like it or not.

I dont give a flying pig about respect, you can throw that like "forum thanks" right and left.
If I see something stupid or something that is not true I will point it out, and I dont care if someone like my opinion or not.
If anyone is one of those snowflake that roam around internet crying about everything and think that we should say only good thing about him, I have bad news for you, because world doesnt work like that, and you should deal with it, that you are not omniscient and everyone will like what you think.
I prefer facts than some internet pseudo respect. And if we fallow facts and general reasoning, you cant say anything wrong about what I was talking about. Because show me one think that I said wrong?
Its not my fault that some people have such problems with writing full sentence with proper reasoning behind their opinion.

Nope, Im not tired of my self. And my parents taught me to not mention "parents" in conversation like some sort of kid in school that dont have anything important to say, so he say something about parents or one of many stupid "mother" joke.... just like you did....
And yes, I really like discussion!
Discussion actually create our world, without it we would have nothing. Even from most trivial or offensive discussions you can get amazing thing that change to amazing inventions or ideas. Whole point of discussion is two people where one say "yes" and other say "no" and after some time they all agree about something.... not mention their own parents, its really childish.
Also its worth mention that my actual discussion ended after only two post... but then YOU showed up and had to put your few cents inside... why? maybe you could kindly say us why you had to join it if everything was said already?
Because I have tip for you: if you dont like someone opinion... you dont pay attention to it... you just move on. No one force you to push yourself between two other people discussion and say something that just make more chaos.
Also small note: if you really are so "pro respect" you would end that discussion right now, and we all stop here, and move to actual topic, if you want to add something else about it, or about my parents, feel free to use Personal Messages, I will be happy to replay to it

Ok
lol,
They will test it on internal stage in china like they do now on M9. Theres allready much devices with emui 5.1, so their system itself working propably, only the kernel is the reason, nothing more or less.
Mate, you get any betatest from emui4 to 4.1 or 4.1 to 4.1.1 or anything else? No, they release it after its done.
