[Q] Can IOS 4 be ported to the EVO?

Not that I'm a fan of it but i was wondering since android can run on the iphone is it possible to put IOS on the EVO.

No IOS is not open source

Yeah, this isn't a netbook you're talking about. You can't just put an Apple OS on it all willy-nilly.
Seriously, though, I'd bet the trouble would be nigh-insurmountable based on hardware differences. They're using their own CPU in the iPhone, for one, and beyond that I bet they're working pretty strongly to keep iOS from ever being ported like OS X is.

How dare you!!!!! Off with his head!!!

more importantly
why would you wanna?
lol this is the second related thread to apple i've seen in the last 24 hours...lol

This thread made me sick to my tummy just a little bit!

the base for iOS is open(ish) source. But to my knowledge no one has tried to take Darwin down to the mobile level other than apple with iOS. In theory it should be able to be done, but that would be the only way to get a port. Hope your up for a challenge.

c'mon guys - outside of the poor taste it leaves in our mouths, the question is legit.
OP-It's highly doubtful that true iOS4 will ever be ported to android - too many challenges. The closest you might get is for a dev to build a theme that makes android look and act like iOS4 on the surface, but it would still be android.
oh yeah - and no iphone app store. ever.

Guys it was just a question so relax and stop the flaming. It probably can be done but there's too much work involved and it would also be illegal. Besides even if you were able to do it the App Store wouldn't allow your phone access so the only way to install apps would be through Installous (cracked apps) which is also illegal.

Android >>>>> apple

Android will be ported because it can and it has high enough demand..
IOS isn't ported because well... No demand <.<

I Never Really Liked Apple Anyway, My Mother Always Had A Problem With Me Eating Fruits Lol

........whyyyyyy

Plain and simple. It won't. Hardware is to different and it closed source. But if you were looking for ios'ish look for the evo check out miui. People argue both ways saying it is and isn't close to ios but from what I see (since I'm a daily user) its pretty damn close. Have fun

[Q] MIUI....anyone run this through a microscope?

I started hearing about the ROM over on some Dell Streak blogs and had a thought I was worried about...but wonder if I am just being paranoid.
Where is MIUI from? Is this in some actual consumer phone that is on a major network? Has anyone actually met these people that wrote this?
I see on their website that they are working with some of the devs here and supposedly have submitted the FM app to Cyanogen:
http://www.miui.com/thread-1687-1-1.html (Not much more than that page unless you can read Chinese which I cannot.)
I guess my paranoia sets in when I see things come out like this fully baked and being adopted blindly by the masses. We saw games just last year that were doing random calls and that was from a site people trusted.
Sorry if this seems tinfoil hatty, but really what better way to sink a trojan/backdoor into a ton of phones than to release a super cool looking bit of software that no-one is really going to dig through and vette? So my question is do people here really trust this software? Have the Dev's torn it apart enough to feel they know everything in it?

It's an AOSP-based ROM developed by some Chinese folks to make their phones into KIRF iPhones.

I at one point thought the same thing about it. I thought about where it came from, and all the jazz with the same paranoid mindset. Then I thought about it more, and realized I wouldn't be doing anything on my phone that would be of any interest to anyone. I'm sure its probably legit. There are other poeple that have had to go through and port it to English and more fun stuff. I would assume they have taken a decent look at it.

Just like that live wallpaper with the malware in it, I'm sure someone will find a rouge code. Im sure it will be viral too as apple fanboys would jump all over it discrediting Android. But to be on the safe side, I'd only use ROMs from here and other trusted dev forums, from devs with a good rep. At least you'll know its honest work.

Yes, you're being a bit "tinfoil hatty." Google MIUI dev and you'll see the english forum from xda members that are dedicated to this rom's development. I'm sure that they have broken down most of the rom and you can get more information there.

I how you' re trying (unsuccessfully) to be funny. Here's a newsflash, there are android geeks, honest ones even, all over the world!!
Really, if the Chinese were trying to gather information via some device that millions upon millions of Americans would use (and no, that would not be the MIUI on Android), they would probably tap the ipod, iphone, and ipad - all of which are made in China.

c'mon guys, we're right there

I realise the whole thing is kinda pointless... but what are the bets that Android/iPhone/every-other-OS users are voting WebOS?
but yeah would be pretty funky to see WP7 crowned King. My votes been counted anyway

Pretty high, they're jelly that their run-down boring OSes with only good apps to back them up didn't get anywhere.

Many people would argue that a mobile OS is only as good as the apps available to it. Accordingly, this "OS bowl" is rediculously flawed. The only way that WP7 winning would make any sense is if the primary criteria for voting was "most untapped potential"

Haha , the votes are only from the people who bought the phones. Sad.

That would totally explain the fact that android and iphone booth with definitively higher market shares got raped. I mean it wasnt even a close game for either. It's all about OS... WP7 is in my opinion the best OS apps aside, in a business user though I could see palm being the best. Android and iphone have all the app backing in the world but this isn't a "Who has the best developer support bowl." It's an OS bowl and the top two teams are there accordingly.

Not nearly as sad as your stalking and trolling - do you even have a WP7?

I think his initial excuse was "I'm considering getting one." Followed by a 3 page list going on about the few features that have yet to been included.

It'll probably be at least 5 years til we know the top three

There is always top three.

I asked @joebelfiore about the video out feature on wp7

In MIX10 we all noticed that Joe Belfiore can directly output the display of his Samsung WP7 Developer prototype phone onto the big screen.
You may search for the video demo "Joe Belfiore Demos Windows Phone 7" in Google.
I searched on internet and received not many info on this. So I directly asked him on twitter @joebelfiore and he replied me in message.

This img is from my thread I posted just now on Chinese forum...I am a Chinese...
If anyone like me want to give presentations just as Joe did with his WP7 phone, I think the hope is not shinny~May rather buy a Nokia N8 or even Nokia 5800.
Some android devices like HTC Incredible and Samsung Galaxy S support tv out,too.
Just a bit disappointed~I used to hope to introduce WP7 devices to the company I serve as work phones. But it doesn't support VPN, and has no tv out, not to mention the NFC. You can't even copy the office file directly to your Phone without unlocking it. Maybe to choose android the other day, although it's Siemens here...
P.S If this post is supposed to cause any trouble because I mentioned the direct message from Mr. Joe Belfiore or the name of Siemens, just let me know and I will delete this right away. No means to make trouble.
----Edit----
Just like PG2G said on the 4th floor, firstly I am happy to see Joe answered my question directly without hiding something because people in his position usually don't do that. I am still a fan of Windows Phone 7 cuz I really don't want to show a game machine desktop (android and iOS) on the projector of a serious meeting room.

EDIT: nevermind

Lol... I'm sure another social network will make the cut, though.

While you didn't get the answer you'd ask for, it is pretty cool that someone in his position is actually listening to and answering people's questions.

Yeah, that's also what I think. People in his position hardly give feedback to normal people like you and me. So it's really nice of him to do so.
And that's why I still haven't give up the WP7 system, since I think letting all people in the meeting room to see my android desktop which looks like a game machine is not really a cool stuff~~~

Don't wanna say much but watch this guy!

Well, I can't take a quy serious who calls it Windows Mobile 8 and this vid is also quite heavily biased. And you will also quickly notice his main interest: good hardware specs.

I couldn't even get past the the first 40 seconds.

Lolz, 40 secs wasted on my life~ XD

Thanks for the lulz xD

What a moron, he obviously has no idea what he's talking about.
Android fanboy.

This guy is a complete idiot! Waste of my time especially with the Windows Mobile reference and the Gmail app piece. And he says Windows Mobile never compared to Android. It's because Android wasn't around when it came out. And they minimized Windows onto a phone in like 2000...Windows Mobile:laugh:

I managed to get a good 3min out of that before his voice and general lack of any intelligence what so ever got the better of me, forcing me to try stab my screen with a pitch folk when ever he opened his month.
I am amazed that such inbreeding still goes on in western countries, which surely must be the only reason for such a mentally challenged presenter.
Ill happily list anyone valid pros and cons of any device and remain completely objective whilst doing it AND putting aside that WP suites my needs best, why cant people who put them selves in that position at least attempt to be impartial?!
unless of course that was his sole aim!
To get all clear thinking people flapping about him being a complete nob.
In which case my friend, you have exceled yourself

I was waiting for him to start signing the Barbie Girl song.

he is funny,total android fanboy.
first he cry about wp7 phones that can't be updated to wp8 (that is actually a bummer) and hoe stupid MS is
and about 5 min later he cry's about 10 min long how bad verison is that he can't get ics on his phones
F*****ing nope if you ask me , they actually sould ban him from the internet and take away all phones he has , give him a brick to use for calling

Getting him an Aligator would be enough

This guy is clearly tripping on something. I found this video hilarious.

I watched about 40 seconds, wrote a vile reply that most likely will be erased and left. It hurt to watch that bull****.

He needs a Kleenex.

With everyone trying to sit through it, I decided to as well. Horrible presenter - not much in the way of facts or information, he just 'feels bad' about Win8. All I could think throughout the time I could stand was CAGE MATCH!!!
