With the announcement of webOS moving to a open source platform, am I the only one wishing for a port of webOS to the Charges' hardware? Sure its not the most powerful phone or neither does it have the strongest developer base, but I'm still hoping for it one day. This is coming from a person who had a Palm Pre Plus prior to my D'Charge, so therefore I'm very familiar with the way webOS works and I still today miss it the fluidity of the platform. So let me know, am I alone?
In theory, I suppose it could be done, as WebOS is also Linux based. However, it would take a LOT of work-I think the time put into such a project would not equal the number of people who would want to use it.

+1 I'd love to see that, but CM7 and/or ICS comes first!
I think most people would rather see ICS ported first...

In all honesty I would like to see ICS before I would like to see WebOS, but I feel like these ports would be coming from different teams. From one corner their will be developers working to get ICS to all non-nexus devices and in the other corner their will be people working to get WebOS on android devices and once its done here it will be picked up by other developers and tweaked to work on the particular device they're developing for.

Like the OP I too am a webOS convert. WebOS definitely has its strong point over Android ( no tomatos please ). But until HP gets their act together and decides on a reliable direction webOS has no chance or future.

Call me crazy but I would also like to see a wp7 port as well. I'm really liking the look of it and all the wp7 apps in our market don't do a good enough job of recreating it, unless you dish out some money.

WP7 is impossible. One, it's closed source. Two, it's not Linux based, unlike webOS and Android.

Yea, I knew it was going to be impossible. They did manage to dual boot Android and WP7 on the HD2. One can dream though, right? Lol

I guess we'll have to wait and see, I even dusted off the old Pre Plus today and played with it for awhile and when I went back to my D'Charge I kept catching myself swiping up to get out of my email.

just not enough developers over here...HTC is big in the development department...they have lots of development going on over there, not so much for our Samsung. Then again we got sicker screens and thinner devices..

With the release of Isis (the open-source webOS browser), is there any chance of it being ported to the Charge, or Android in general?
Also webOS. I would love to have webOS on this phone.

Well it is possible but a dev would have to take an interest in it and considering this phone has kinda died out with the exception of a few that's not likely to happen

Hello. I'm sure a lot of you know that I am an app developer. I have a lot of passion for Kindle fire development and I want to help by creating an app that is useful for Kindle fire users...but what. I just don't know what I should make. I need ideas. What do you want to make your experience better on the Kindle? Anyone? Any CRAZY or BOLD ideas are appreciated.

I might could help you on this. Your launcher idea looks great. The thing is that i still haven't done much open GL yet. In fact i couldnt make a simple shape in openGL because it keeps force closing but once i get better i can hit you up.

Well, whoever wants to help (including you) may do so. I refuse to make it a paid app though, because that's just wrong considering it's based on Amazon's work. Heh.
I'd gladly give back by helping with whatever apps people are creating since I KNOW Android developers lack in that department for the most part. :silly:

So this new launcher came out but is only available for the tablet on Google Play Store. It is currently in the beta stage, with a VIP list and pre orders. Will it ever become available to the skyrocket or any smartphone? Is it going to have a lite version. I think it looks sweet, i just don't want to get my hopes up
(Im pretty sure this is a Q&E, but its related to themes and apps...If it needs to be moved, move it please and thank you)

I'm pretty sure you would get the answer you seek if you sent the developer of the app an email and ask him his plans for the app and the future. Really only he can answer that since he is the dev.....

I guess that makes sense. This community is great with modding stuff so i figured i would ask, no harm done with that right? I searched and some other people with other phones were asking similar questions.
Well I have took an app from the market and with the devs permission made changes so it would work correctly on our phone. And I uploaded it with his permission but its gonna be impossible to find someone here to make it compatible to our phone without getting the devs permission first. Their is a strict rule here about messing around with others work without permission.... but there was no harm in asking. And if you get the devs permission someone here may take it and make it compatible but if its a paid app on the market the devs not gonna give that permission....

Which is why i was wondering if there was going to be a lite version. I Emailed the dev(s) so ill report back when they return my email. I hope it becomes available, seems like the next best launcher. TW, apex and all those launchers start to get old after a while.
I don't see how it would be useful for smaller displays. The whole point of the app is to show a bunch of different information on one screen, but only so much can be done on a 4 inch screen. The suitable alternative is to just use widgets on your homescreen as you probably do now.
I'm gonna go ahead and say it isn't just for tablets. This user posted screenshots here in the 'post your homescreen here' topic in themes/apps for our phone.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29759858&postcount=770
Looks interesting. I own adw ex, nova prime and apex pro. Going to stick with apex most likely as I've spent enough on launchers. It would have to be really amazing to justify spending ten bucks on it (that's the pre-order price)
i tried chameleon. its good launcher even if in beta.
but i think its so big and heavy for a launcher.(20 mb) maybe my tab doesnt enough to run chameleon.(p1000-galaxy tab-)
Hiya! I was asked to post here after someone saw me running it... If you simply load the APK, it works, but to get the most out of it, changing your DPI to the next level will easily let it fit decently with smallish on our screens.

Exactly. That's why I said in my previous post to get the devs permission. Most will give you permission on free apps but some will not. Paid apps you can forget about it. Also if the dev gives permission and you was to fix it add to it etc etc and upload it don't forget to give the dev credit for his too cause that's only right....

This may come off as somewhat of a rant but this has bothered me for sometime now. Whenever a rom developer releases a new version they include a change log. That change log tells you what they added or took away obviously.
Now my question is why would a developer add in the change log "even more!" added to every change log as if it would increase my excitement to try the rom?
My personal opinion is that it doesn't increase my excitement . To me It makes the developer look unprofessional. It makes it seem as if the developer did not keep notes of every change they made to the new version. It makes me think they add it to try and get more donations from their loyal fans.
As a programmer details are important and I want details. Adding in fluff is not necessary and makes the rom look unattractive to those who know what they are actually doing when they flash someone else's rom.
Would you risk putting sand in your gas tank if it was advertised to increase mileage? Then why would you do it to a expensive piece of equipment you purchased?

I completely agree. Writing software professionally requires that you keep a detailed and updated log about the changes you make.
I'd love to go to one of those threads and ask the 'developer', "So.. what do you mean by 'Even more!!'?" (I realize that the punctuation in that last sentence was crazy haha). I'm sure he wouldn't be able to respond, with anything logical. If he surprised me with actual details however, all I'd tell him to do was put that in the damn changelog!
Watching the way XDA has transitioned over the years, I too agree that most of the time it is just a ploy to get more donations. Seems XDA has been going that way for a while now.

That's because many many "developers" are simply not professionals, maybe they are not old enough to understand that or they are not serious about development and are just learning. Think you are talking about cooks though.
Guys you have to remember. This is a hobby to most people and they do it for fun not professionally. Its easier with aosp as you can see the changes on the git.

I realize most people who do it steal someone else's rom, make a few changes and try to get donations.
There is some dev for my phone that is on version 20 of his rom and only has 2k views. Every change log says "even more! I cant remember". Seems sketchy. Anyway you guys get the idea. Be honest and professional about a rom.

That's how it is sadly, but there are 'devs' without 'RD' titles who do it for hobby, support multiple devices, take no donations because it is their hobby and give proper changelogs with link to gerrit. It depends on the individual.
I didn't get the Galaxy Gear because I am not very proud of it's battery life, but if there is one thing that i'm really jealous of is their ability to root and have custom ROMs. I'm just starting to learn development and it might take me some time to get to the point where i can create a root for a new device, but i'm ready to pay somebody to do it for me.
What i would like to be achieved is a custom rom that allows us to rearrange icons, change the Bluetooth icon color, because when the phone disconnects and the icon grays out, there is not much of a difference. Something that allows us to have custom clocks with weather, or a notification badge, or other stuff that this watch lacks and that could be fairly easily implemented by Sony. I am aware that there are some limitations to Sony SDK and due to poor LCD resolution, but something is better than nothing. All i'm saying is i'm not expecting CM11 on this
I pledge 25$ to the cause

no, but thats not the point. The watch is tethered to a phone thats running android and that can push information to the watch. The gear has some custom OS is possibly based on android 4.2, i'm sure the SW2 is not so far from that either
I'm not nerdy enough yet to confirm if this is possible, but i'm sure there is something we can do
Yes the gear actually runs android and can run apps natively. Thats the whole reason you see a custom rom. the gear is no where near that capable and doesn't have the luxury of already having an android base.

The Smartwatch can not and will never run a full Android since it uses a microcontroller cpu that is not made for this kind of usecase (ARM Cortex-M3 at least in the smartwatch 1 not sure which CPU is used in the Smartwatch 2 but i suppose it uses the same or similar cpu)
I reported this Donation app to google. Not sure if they agree with me that this is fraud but it is very obvious.
Everyone who researches a bit would know that it is impossible.
the 200$ app however i think i can't report since they deliver exactly what they write. nothing but a expensive app that does nothing.
