Hi everyone,
I was just curious to see if anyone thinks Tizen will make it as a mobile OS?
Between iOS, Android and now Windows Phone the market is crowded. All of these platforms have so much invested. Tizen, Boot to Gecko, Blackberry 10 (QNX OS) and the revamped, open sourced version of WebOS are all fighting to populate their platforms but is it a lost fight?
Is there any hope for these and other Mobile OS' to make an impact?
Can iOS, Android and Windows Phone hold their ground?

P.S. -------> Android is #1

Hello,
Is there a way to run Android applications on an iOS?
I'm asking because I keep hearing about how Android is java-based so I though it might be possible that someone ported a java-based platform that can execute it on the iPhone.
It would be handy to be able to develop applications for Android and then just have them execute on an iOS platform if the users so wished.
After a lot of unsuccessful searching, i figured i would try here.
Why does it always seem like every app offered is for iPod and Android phones only? Everywhere i go. Available for iPod, Android, and MAYBE BlackBerry. It occurs mainly with popular websites "Now Available As An App!". I don't understand why... Can someone shed a little light on the matter please.
It's because these devices have a different interface (small screen, touch operated), a specialized app as opposed to a full-blown website can offer a more streamlined service.
And now i am seeing that IMO.IM has an app for iPod, iPad, Android, Blackberry, or Nokia! Really? That is almost like going out of their way to not be on windows. In a way, i am glad because this was kind of what apple had gone through back in the windows vs mac days. But now i am on the losing end and i am pissed. Im still really considering getting an android over windows 7
WP7 is a relative newcomer and only has a very small market penetration. If you were hoping to make money off an app which platform would you code for first?
The main reason is C++ SDK! Currently Microsoft hasn't provided C/C++ SDK for Windows Phone 7. There are many apps for Windows mobile which aren't available for wp7. such as MS-DOS or Lingvosoft dictionary , etc.
If you can contact to developers recommend them to visit http://windowsphone.interoperabilitybridges.com/
I pray and hope that Microsoft provide a C/C++ SDK for WP7
Is it possible that you can change your android OS to IOS or Android OS to Windows?
I can imagine that apple has invested a lot of time and money into making sure that iOS remains firmly on the devices it wants it on.
I don't know about windows, I'm sure somebody somewhere is clever enough to do it. Don't know why you'd want to though, it'd be horrible.
One word: No.
That is impossible. iOS and WP7 are close source so it can't be ported, because no developer but Apple and MS know how to write the drivers etc. etc.
if you really want it, you should get a custom launcher from the market or buy another phone.
WTF do you want ios its **** why the hell did you by a android phone then if you want ios get apple iphone if you want windows get a windows phone
There's a way to run WP7 in your android device, not as a total OS but more kind of like a shell. As far as I know iOS is impossible.
Like others have said - either skin it to look like the other operating systems or go buy a phone that runs the other operating systems.
The closest your going to get to ios is installing :
1-A) iLauncher - home replacement Iphone style.

If iLauncher doesn't satisfy you, can instead download
1-B) GoLauncher EX and install :

In short, no. If you have a choice though, wp7 blows the competition away, and the android windows phone launcher won't do it justice.
Go from android to any other OS it's a totally fail.
In my opinion the best OS for smartphones is ANDROID
My phone is a Winmo device, but while I buy another one, I has installed NAND OMGB 1.2.3
Even on PC's Linux OS is better than Windows OS

Found this while looking for something else and seemed pretty interesting wondering why we dont hear more about this seeing as it is open source?

Background info long time ago nokia developed a new os together with intel to compete with ios and android. They called it meego later nokia brought out a phone with this os called nokia n9 running meego.
By that time microsoft was running the busnins and bore this phone and os in the ground they made it open source and that gave rise to forexample sailfish and this nemomobile os.
Hello XDA!
This is my first post here and I hope all of you will get it serious.
It is posible to make an android phone to boot anything else than Android?
Can we make a little OS from scratch for an android phone?
How and from what point we can start?
Why I ask these? Because I started to hate current mobile operating systems and I miss a lot Symbian...
I really want a new operating system more "offline" and which want to offer long usage time for our smartphone with one charge...
Like lets say if we could run Symbian in our Android phones ... how many days we could use them with one battery charge?
If when Symbian was alive we had 1000+/- mAh batteries and we could use our phone few days, now we have 4000+ mAh ... let's dream for a second that we have symbian installed, we could use our current smartphones for at least a week!? Or I'm wrong?
So we really can't start something new?
If nobody want to do it ... then teach me how I can boot an android phone into something made from scratch and I will do it...
I need sombody to explain some basic things about android like what I should keep and from what point I can start to make a new OS ... but not android based ...
Why to want to re-invent the wheel? Several mobile OS already exist:
