Has anyone been able to compile and run this under Ubuntu 12.04 yet? Which make target did you use, webos-image or webos-desktop?

To run under Ubuntu, you'll want to use WebOS-Desktop
It requires linux kernel 3.3 + not sure if its because of the android patchs that were added to that version, or because it really needs linux 3.3, if the later, we probably won't see webOs running on android devices for a while.

I think it's great that WebOS can now make its way to the latest and greatest from Android, but I don't know if I see much a point, no android device has a gesture area... Unless someone can make a capacitive-to-screen upward swipe do something, just as well for left and right across the home, menu, back and search buttons...or WebOS could be adapted to use the four buttons, that sounds more practical.
Even still, it would have to have Play Store access and be able to run Android apps if it were to be more than a toy.
I'd still like to see it on my Thunderbolt.

There is an android launcher, wave, that mimics the webOS wave very well and shows that a gesture area is feasible - use the wave all the time on my GNote. I never got the webOS wave working right but it is perfect on my GNote.

I will note that the HP Touchpad did not have a gesture area either, just the main "Home" button or whatever you want to call it. It was setup that the home button would bring you to card view. There was really no need with for menu buttons or anything else with the way WebOS was setup. It worked quite well, and I would love to see this on more Android built phones.
First ports!
FYI, there is now a Google Nexus and a Transformer Prime ports, still in very early stages, but I can't wait to see now what OE will become, finally some hopes for this great OS

Well, its been ported to semi-high end phones. Expect absolutely horrible performance from the sdk port to htc g1..

Lolol. N00bs br0. But really though.
well if you guys can get a new boot.img build with a ramdisk from one of the working honeycomb ports and a zimage from a working 32b kernel we can get something going
well honeycomb has been ported to the evo 4g, but its barely functional.

Honeycomb's primary target is tablets
why is this thread cluttering up G1 dev?
yes mainly for tablets. but some member like bypass portet it to the nexus one and it works... so if someone know how we get it boot PM me or yoshi
bypass said we have to edit the boot.img and it will work but yet it only sitting in the htc logo.

well, 2.3 was released not so long ago
it does seem clear that honeycomb has a different target to gingerbread,
the new features of honeycomb are mostly to take advantage of a larger screen size, and more processing power,
sure maybe it could be dumbed down for g1, but what would be the point?
I love my g1, but its time to move on soon, there comes a point when getting something to run on it for the sake of getting it to run becomes futile , by not moving on to better hardware we are ultimately missing out on the great features that an Android OS can give us when running on up to date hardware
I can get Linux to run on a Pentium3 , but why would I want to do that when I can run it on a quadcore intel ?
I'm moving on to the Evo mid-march, but why not try and make the most out of it?
Note: I am not the developer of this app.
Description
nds4droid is the first Nintendo DS emulator for high-end Android phones (1ghz+ recommended).
REQUIRES A HIGH END ANDROID DEVICE (such as Nexus S, Galaxy S). If the framerate is slow, it's because your phone is not smart enough. This is a very heavy emulator!
Current features:
- On-screen interface
- ROM loading
- Save states
- APP to SD
DUE TO PERFORMANCE REASONS SOUND IS CURRENTLY DISABLED (would crack). Sound will be enabled for certain devices in the near future.
This emulator it's far from perfect and will be getting a lot of updates over the next couple of weeks/months. Please know this when you purchase.
Please send any feedback/comments to [email protected] - I appreciate it!

I think it's too pricy for a beta

ill have to try this out for sure when i get paid! $10 is kinda pricey tho
From what I've read, this is so early in beta it should almost be considered alpha.
I've tried running Pokemon Diamond on my Dinc running IncROM 1.5beta2 and no luck. Currently flashing a backup of CM7 Nightly 32 to see if it can do any better.
EDIT: CM7 Nightly 32 also doesn't run Pokemon Diamond. Updating to Nightly 34, although performance is unlikely to change.
Does Pokemon Heart Gold work on this emulator? Either way, I'll buy this once it gets updated to a more stable version.
Can it be installed HTC G2?
Yes, but wait for the app to be update coa right now its very slow and buggy.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I'll be amazed if this lasts longer than the N64 emu.
Whoa. Ten dollars for a beta. That's a little excessive. Going to wait for a stable release. Almost sounds like a scam. Lol.
It's $10 and one poster on Reddit said that none of the roms he tried even worked.
Yeah...I think the previous poster may be right.

Well, it is not a scam, but it is far from being worth $10.
I am trying it right now.
First i tried Fire Emblem, but all i got was a white screen.
I decided to get a lighter ROM and tried Space Invaders Extreme 2.
I am looking at it right now, and i have the top intro screen.
It took a few minutes to load from the "saving game" warning into the intro.
The buttons don't seem to be working at all, and the touch screen is just black.
In any case, it is an emulator, not a scam.
Albeit a very buggy one that should be available for free if the coder wants to get some serious input to advance this project.
There aren't even any settings on this thing.
Too much of a rush to make a quick buck, imo.
ETA:
Friggin Launcher Pro is closing on me now, and i don't seem to be able to get back on TW...
Guess it's time to reboot and uninstall this app for now.
I agree this one is a beta an we all Should wait till they release an updated and more stable version.

/what is an official ROM anyway, some fast pushed moto rom full of crap?
Android is android.... there is no such thing as official really, just some companies run by #$%ers that force and open source project to be closed....
So now since we closed it we can call it official,
The market will check your version and update if your version is supported thats all.
If flash will install then you have 2.2 trust me.
If stupid Moto would unlock the damn bootloader we could write a ROM you could flash, but it's not so we found a work around Nandroiiid.
I my opignion every nandroid ever put on this forum is official as long as it boots up and is funtional,
Does anyone remember stock 2.1.1?

Every single ROM that has been Deved on this forum was better,

What gives. I find also a little sluggish at times And loading takes longer. Not really digging th windows phone 7 look either.
Better at app finding but definitely sluggish (on the first screen at least).

This is based on HTML 5 and it's supposed to be a even cheaper alternative to android and other OS's
.... There are plans for phones to be coming out next year I think in the US, also they say they can port 75% or more android and IOS apps as they are made in HTML5.... search up for more info. Also there is another OS called Tizen coming next year aswell I think but it's based on android.
man you are a genius. never expected this on defy. its like dream come true as i always wanted firefox os on my mobile
B2G is based on Android, but completely deleted the java/dalvik-stuff.
They are using their own native daemon and all apps are written in HTML5.

At the moment, its still on a better stage than the first ICS boot by Epsylon3.
Amazing! I never thought we will see this! a beta of a beta, betaception (? and about the screens, yes, the demo running on a SGSII looked WAY better than this, but dunno why they changed it.
Next step: web Os!!!! :victory:
edit: a video running B2G as a POC will be nice, if thats not too much to ask for
I found the github of the SGS2-B2G which seems to be of the leed UI-designer of that project.
It seems these changes just aren't published to mozilla's github.
I will build again with the new sources and if everything works I'll publish the first build.

Alright so im going to start by just saying that i had a similar project going with the galaxy nexus but I ran into kernel panic issues, that and I just got busy with life( school, work, job, etc). Now my time has freed up due to my last semester in school. So I am looking to pick this project back up but for the galaxy s3 Verizon...
Now i already have a compiled image based on the Ubuntu Leo originally created for the HD2( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOPu6DgbOs4 ) ......... this week i will be working on a kernel.
Now the image itself has been modified slightly from the hd2 version,...I will be looking for devs to help me with a kernel if this is you and you would be interested in helping please pm me. if you would like to alpha this also pm me ill start a list in this thread. Looking to get this going quick. ill have the image up by the end of the week if anyone is interested in experimenting with it. and i'm hoping for an alpha stage build by the end of the month.
If you have any questions just ask away.
Project Ubuntu
What you need to know
There is plans on having fully 3g/4g capability
Plans on MMS Capability
This is not a direct full desktop port. Its a modified/ optimized for armed devices based on the image used with the HD2
It will use a Linux based android Kernel
If you would like to Alpha this please PM me, and if you would like to help with the kernel ( I could use the help) also PM me.
I will update with progress later, and update with more details later. The point in doing this is the exact same as it has been in the past....because it would be pretty flipping awesome and secondly this would open Ubuntu up, it would offer up just another OS option.
PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEO TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE BUILD IS LIKEHERE
Awesome.
I have a question though. Will the OS boot as a stand alone operating system or will it boot inside android?
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.
It will be a stand alone no chrooted. It to start will run along side android booting from the sdcard like a dual boot set up. After beta it will be flashed in place of android
Sounds great

It will be a stand alone no chrooted. It to start will run along side android booting from the sdcard like a dual boot set up. After beta it will be flashed in place of android

Bad ass man.
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.
Sounds cool but what is the point of doing it on a phone? It would be impossible to use. Should do it for the Nex10.

It is very possible to use, I have chroot linux mint running on my phone right now.
I direct port would make much smoother and more compatible as well. Just imagine connecting a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and hooking up to your tv. Extremely portable linux machine.

I don't see how it would work since everything would be shrunk down and hard to tap on. Also still not portable as you would need to carry around a mouse and keyboard. Just my opinion. Once again cool idea but i don't see it as being useful on such a small screen.

First off try looking at the youtube video.... the port its self has been modified for armed devices ( hense the youtube video) Second the version of ubuntu my image is based off of does have 3g capability writing a module to use with 4g wouldn't be to difficult. Third just to make this clear when beta is released it will have MMS Capability, and Phone capability. Again look at the youtube video. its not a direct port from the desktop version its an optimized and modified for armed devices.

I'm not trying to upset anyone so don't flame me. I just don't see how it will work on a phone. I'll keep my mouth shut and try it when its released.
Good work and great idea! I would be more than happy to test the beta of this out...I need reliability, so unfortunately I wouldn't be able to go through the alpha paces for more than a day.

Don't worry your not being flamed. It will still have the functionality of a phone. I
Sounds like a cool idea! Very interesting to have a different flavor for your phone OS. I'd love to be on that alpha list.

This is pretty badass man. I salute you in your journey. One of the best things about android..the customization and the dev support. I'll be down for alpha builds, count me in.

Hey guys sorry for the delay in response.... I I am officially done with classes as of Fridayso..
Secondly tmr ill be updating the oOpp possible starting a whole new development Opp.
Right now I'm currently working on a kernel.. I its coming along but slow. I appreciate the support ill update the this Opp when I get home.
THIS is what I have been waiting for! I'm no dev, but I would love to see this happen and am willing to help how I can (testing, bouncing ideas off of, etc). I'll see if I can't rustle up a bit of support as well, shouldn't be hard to get a few capable souls interested, especially if you post this in the other carrier forums and see if this can be cross-device compatible for all carrier variants?
