Android for playbook - Miscellaneous Android Development

Since playbook is officially not getting BB10 anymore, i was wondering if there is anyway android can be put on this awesome specs tablet.
It can easily run the OS, how can i try? Any developers willing to work on such a project?

Porting s voice ?

is there any chance that S voice will be able to be ported to other android devices once we get a GSIII system dump?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
The phone was just announced less than 24 hours ago and people are already wanting ports. Once the system dump is released someone will end up either porting it to other devices or making their own app and putting it in the play store.

S Voice for any devices
So just saw this, but its only for any device running ics any way to get it running for us
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Any device on 4.0.4 with a half decent SoC should be able to use it. My i897 (single core) can run it, although not as smoothly but it works.

Post a request on webosnation and on your devices respected forum. Not everyone looks at this thread sadly.

I would love to see this. And it is sad that the webOS forum is so dead. I loved it on my Pre....

I don't have any knowledge of how to port webos to the nexus 7 but I'd love to try it if somebody could do it
Still think webos is one of the best OS`s that I've used

Yes! If you could make it flashable via cwm recovery id be your slave for a day lol
Not to crush anyone's hopes I said " might" I have yet to start going through tutorials on xda university and it will take me ages (I have only a small amount of experience with c++ and non at all with c)

Oh and also anyone could have an as good a chance as me as doing this you can just start to learn android development from xda university and that should help understand open webOS a bit more.

Actually we don't need to port I just remembered about the phoenix webos app that the phoenix group have been working on that let's u run webOS within android we don't need to port we can just wait for that to come out.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I heard about the app, but having a limited os inside an app isn't the same as installing the full os on the device
I'll probably try out the app but I still think it'd be better if someone could port webos proper to the nexus 7
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Well I wonder how it would be limited you could just take a ROM and use titanium backup to remove all in wanted apps and just use webos for everything.

Guys have you read this: http://www.androidcentral.com/open-webos-finds-its-way-nexus-7
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
This is perfect
They just need to release it publicly so everyone can use it

See guys, it didn't take long. Y'all need to learn to stop and smell the roses.

They've released how to test it on webos ports http://www.webos-ports.org/wiki/Testing_Nexus_7 but u still have to boot it at first via the PC (after its booted to webos you don't need to keep it plugged into the PC) but apparently using it won't affect your android install, now just to figure out what ifconfig is.

I believe ifconfig is a command to be used in the terminal?
I'm probably wrong, my IT is a bit sketchy
Yes I think it is I just googled it

Ubuntu for phones, will you get it for your g2x?

I just watched the video on Ubuntu for phones os and its looks great! On the website, there's option for the lite version that will work with phones with minimum single core. I'm loosing hope on fully functional jb on this phone and I feel this is the last resort other than buying a new phone. Are you guys going to install it when it releases?
I really want to. But I just don't know how to go about doing that. Also your right, jb is just a maybe, and honestly I really want something stable and fast

As long as most of the things work, I'm installing it as soon as it launches.

Indeed this is a breakthrough.... I am waiting for something like this to be installed on my nokia e7
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Correct me, but did it not say it will have to be ported? I was reading if all devices will be getting it. Maybe it will be similar how cyanogen mod work and has different devs for different devices.
I would love to help with that if that is the case.

The Ubuntu website said that this odd based off the android kernel. It's probably ics kernel because it was on g nexus. This could be notable for us, we may never get this fully working.

I will give it a shot if it ever comes on this phone

Uhhh, it'd be the same inherent problem we currently have with trying to get jellybean on these phones...nvidia (closed source) chips. Right? Drivers are pretty important little buggars.
We may have problems yes. But I still would be very happy to be sportin' ubuntu on my phone.

IMO, ubuntu on the G2x sounds amazing.
I'll be watching for such development from my polished turd of a device...
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Definitely will try it.
Well hopefully the tegra 2 wont give Ubuntu issues
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
It will give you problems, one of the requirements for Ubuntu on phones is that the have to be able to run ics or jb, nvidia drivers are required.

Yup from now on stay away from LG and Motorola phones

Yeah u r rite on that one . I also have a motorola atrix hd at its bootloader its locked i dont understand how google would lock it

Not having the Java overhead would make it feel like a new phone. Hopefully it can be ported.

There's a good chance this will run on Mazout's CM10.1 unofficial (no radio), and now that Mazout has compiled a fairly easy dual-boot option to this ROM it will be a lot easier to experiment with.

[REQUEST] Ubuntu ROM for SG2 tab 10.1

So what are the chances of someone porting this to our tablet? Is this even a remote possibility? I've been seeing this floating around on other tablets and phones and the thought of it makes me drool!

But Ubuntu rom is still a work in progress, when I ran it on my phone much of it was just mockups. There may be more functionality since then but I highly doubt it's usable enough to be a daily driver

Thanks I'd definitely like to see something come for our tabs in this way.

[Q] Which OS?

Dear XDA,
In these options, which one is your favourite?
A) iOS
B) Android
C) WIndows Phone 8
D) Tizen OS
Here are the options!
why
i would choose android
because it is permanently growing better
and because it is opensource (atleast the most part of it)
