I think you might mean the OS of the Palm Pre? If so, no.

But there are some WebOS features in ICS which is CM9 for us.

Thank you my good chaps. WebOs was what I meant. I see we don't have it. So sad indeed. May the heavens open up on day.

The epic 4g is android based and we don't have any similar webos phones... so sadly we are out of luck.

1. I'm pretty sure the OP has been know to troll under different names.
2. Seriously? There are people who think WebOS is superior to Android? That's like saying Commodore 64 is better than an i3 on Windows 7.

Tend to ignore? In all of the 1 month and 22 posts that you have been here? That is a long history of ignoring people...
Perhaps I am mistaken, but I know that there is a guy who creates new profiles and creates crazy troll posts until he gets banned. You seemed to fit that profile. I guess we will see if you last. But the reality is, that if you want to last, you are going to have to tollerate the many many ignorant people here... because the MODs really don't do much about the real problems.

After using a Palm Pre for 2 years, and now my Epic for almost a year, there are still some things about webOS that I think are superior to Android. But it's just my opinion. I think there's room for others. =)
Since webOS is going open source, I dream of a day when all I love about webOS will be integrated into Android, and somehow Android will get some protection from all of the old Palm i.p. so that Apple will stop suing everyone. But it's just a dream.

The evo 4g was actually able to port webOS (although it was not really functional) and now that webOS is open source, it's definitely possible. Will it happen though? 99% no.

You're probably right. As much as it would be interesting to port an open source webOS to other phones, the amount of work it would take, and the lack of commercial viability would make it a most unlikely proposition. Then again, there are some formidable developers in the webOS world that may do it anyway, just for the challenge if nothing else.
I think the more likely thing is that Android will absorb some of the good things about webOS, or, at least, some of those features will become options somewhere, either in the OS or in apps. In the past, I once thought that it may be reasonable to try make webOS into an Android skin or launcher. But, without the underlying structure of Luna and the API, it wouldn't really give you any of the real benefits of webOS.
Oh well. I love my epic, and CM9 is fun to play with. I have all the apps I missed on webOS. I'm happy.

WebOS is amazing software, by far the best multi-tasking os for phones. I had a pre myself, loved the software the hardware was just horrid.
One thing I really miss is webOS's Pandora. You could scroll back to previously played songs and like/dislike them and/or bookmark them. Sadly you cannot on android

Do you have a vendetta against someone? Did you get hurt recently? Now I'm beginning to wonder if you are the general troll on this forum. Maybe someone can shed more light, is this guy a troll? Let me know since I might be wasting my time even responding to such a imbacil. Not to be harsh but I don't take kindly to idiots accusing others of false things and dragging it to arguments. Thank you if you guys warn me about this guy. Enjoy life, enjoy your day guy.

That's how I feel myself. Its very smooth and fluid. Similar how the ios runs. I think it would be pretty nice to have a port of it. But most devs have their hands full and most likely won't touch this. I'm aware of the open source nature of it, that's why I am wondering if its easier to port it.

I think - judging from title - he wants to know whether iOS could be ported over to WP7 devices. If so: no, not possible.

Exactly thats what i am asking for can iOS be ported to wp7 devices if no can you provide reasons?

IOS is compiles for specific hardware, unless you get an idevice running wp7 natively there's no hope it will be ported to the current wp7 handsets.

Port Windows Phone OS to S3

I hope I don't get flamed but I just wanna know if this is possible. There is a windows phone with the same specs as the S3 not released yet (forgot the name of it). and i would also like to know why it cannot be done if so.

Anything is possible. Is it likely someone will go through the trouble of trying to do this when you can just buy a WP8 device? Probably not.
Also, just because 2 phones use the same SoC doesn't mean they can run the same software without issue.

L900 WINDOWS 8 possible ROM?

I'm writing in today to see if there is possibly a windows 8 ROM for our Note2 L900 devices...?

Umm you realize windows 8 (non rtm) does not run arm processors without an insane amount of developing magic, miracle, and sweat. They would basiclly have to rewrite the windows 8 kernel. Next time please do a little research before asking a question like that. It truly borders a stupid question

Sorry if i offended you in any way. I am not a developer either. I sense by the way your replied you have a true interest in the work that goes on for a phones. Its just that very often developers deal with people asking repetitive questions that tend to annoy them such as when this or that is available. That is why its always good to google first before asking on xda. Fortunately you did the right thing in putting this in question in the q and a section, and were only looking for some more information. I hope this does not deter you from learning more and asking questions.

I'm far from an expert on this topic. However there was some interest in this when the surface rt came out I misspoke when I said rtm what I really meant is rt. Rt is only given to manufacturers. No one has it and if they did they would be sued into oblivion. This is the only type of windows that supports arm processors. No developer wants to get involved in this.

Very much agree. Competition brings out the best. But smug Mac/iPhone users give the brand a bad name. But they do have good marketing. It would have to be to get people to overspend so much on something that is clumsy.
I like the idea of Linux as a competitor because it isn't associated with smug ass-hats, and is open-source.
As for Windows 8, I like to think of it as today's "New Coke". Almost nobody likes it, and Microsoft crammed it down our throats because they thought it's what we wanted.
But that's my very off-topic rant. Y'all have a good day!

Here's the thing. I love my Mac, but I can't stand iPhone. I also have a Windows computer, and love it too. Not all Mac users are smug, in fact I went from Windows to Mac very willingly and loved it. However, I'm also very open-minded when it comes to OS.
Also, I didn't know people didn't know you could use adb etc on Mac. Lol otherwise I would've said something a long time ago haha

Wow, didn't know this was possible, thanks!

I know LOTS of people with iPhones and Macs, and not a single one of them are smug. I think people just dislike the Apple brand sooo much, they see what they want to see about the person using any Apple devices.
Personally, I like both. However, I dislike Windows though. Be it Windows XP, 7, or 8. To me, Windows seems clumsy.
Come to think of it, I dislike Microsoft in general.

People assume that they must pick between Apple and Google or Apple and Windows all the time. There are strengths and weaknesses for devices of both companies. For example, I use my Mac for video editing, as its software is generally much better than video editing software on Windows.
