I agree with this guy. I NEED that

whoa, i didn't think it was going to look cool but after seeing the video, i agree. i gotta have it! so simple but looks pretty cool.

why bother porting when most of us will be upgrading to 2.3 on our respective roms anyway?

We have nowhere to port it from..its not in the sdk.

Well, its still cool. lol.

on nym or any other rom or just by making it a .zip somehow would be aweomse

It's not in the framework?? Whatever it is, it's in the sytem image somewhere. Someone smarter thatn me should do it.
To the poster that said "Why, we'll have 2.3 roms soon" (paraphrasing):
I would like at least this small porrtion of gingerbread on my totally/completely stable/fast Myn rom now. i doubt that the first, even the 2nd or 3rd phase of community built releases will be perfect. But if given just this one feature, I'd be happy. It's not like you can take advantage of new Android features in 2.3 with the evo anyway: we don't have a gyroscope, we don't have a NFC radio.
That said, of course I'd love a full gingerbread release for the evo, but beggars can't be choosers.

Yes and no. It could be a proprietary Samsung thing. Then it wouldn't be in the SDK, but rather in the Nexus S image. Now, seeing as it's supposedly a Google Experience phone, there shouldn't be proprietary things on it... so that would lead me to believe it is in the framework somewhere.

Regardless of where it is, i want it too, lol

I might be wrong, but If the EVO officially gets Gingerbread or even if its ported over.... I the gyroscope is in the and part of the new OS itself and not hardware. Like I said, I could be totally wrong, But think about it, If the EVO Gets Gingerbread then we'd lose out on the new gyroscope feature?? Just doesn't seem right lol

Nope the gyroscope just like NFC is a hardware thing so there is no way for us evo users to get it without some insane hardware modding.

[Q] Windows Phone 7?

I know Android is better (I am running the CM7 nightly), but I thought it might be nice if we could get some sort of actual ROM for the D. Inc. that was WP7.

Not a dev, but I don't think that is possible. You can get home replacements that replicate it, but you're pretty much stuck with android on your incredible. There was a project to port webOS over to the desire, but that had pretty much hit a dead end the last time that I checked.

I would love to see how wp7 works on our device too. Just read hd2 has dual boot android and wp7 roms running. Port maybe? If nothing, to satisfy curiosities and to have another rom to show off?
P. S. My sig is indicative of how I look at roms...
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk

I know a poster from another forum who has a HD2 running android. Would be nice if we could run wp7.

I know. I'm kind of a ROM whore too, but I tend to end up with CM7 nightlies simply because it's the fastest unskinned gingerbread build out there for the Inc.

The reason that they have Android running on Windows devices is because they know that Android kicks ass. They all want to be like us. I'm going to get an iPhone...when they get Android running on it. LOL

Even though what you are asking my require "development", it is in fact, not development in itself and therefore it belongs in "q and a". I mean think about it, you even put [q] in your thread title.

It is much easier to get android running on a non-Android native phone because Android's code is open sourced whereas WP7 or webOS is not. Thus making it much more difficult if not impossible to port to our devices.

you know what i find funny?? we all say that our phone and XX OS is so much better than all others (Ios, Android, WP7...) but then we go and try to make our Android look like WP7 with home replacements, or ROMs like MIUI for the IPhone crowd...
I had Anroid eclair running on my HTC Touch Pro so I to am guilty of it, I just think it is funny.

#1 This is in the wrong section, and don't try to play dumb about it, you have a Q in your thread title, stating its a question.
To the above quote, they already have android running on the iPhone - http://linuxoniphone.blogspot.com/2010/04/ive-been-working-on-this-quietly-in.html

i was so harsh because the OP didnt even try a search to read the other 20 threads about putting WP7 on our device
I do believe putting windows on a non windows phone is a violation on some law.. yadda yadda
android is open source thats why its so widley available
The HD2 was MEANT for WP7 but Microsoft didnt release in time and The HD2 is windows native so thats why they could port it

Seems like W7 is a few steps behind Android anyways, so....wouldn't touch it, unless it was just from curiosity.

Since the HD2 carries pretty much the same specs as our phone in terms of processor and it can run Android as well as WP7 then what I am trying to ask is what's the limitation on our phone? Besides our radio being CDMA instead of GSM.

Wait til verizon has the htc trophy (wp7. Soon.) Party with colored blocks. Return for android again.Buy a zune. Be thankful.

If you count Android version as one OS, it should be many more ;].
Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb.
And not Android OSes: Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Ubuntu, MeeGo. Does Windows 95/98 are counted too? If yes, it makes 10 in total, and 8 usable . Of course if we count like we should Android as one OS, it would make 5 systems. Even then it's damn sky high as majority of smartphones run just one dedicated OS.

Isn't Honeycomb strictly a tablet OS? I tried to use the normal HD2 res on it and 240 display density and got only force closes when trying to boot it on my PC.

I have just got used to Gingerbread and now we could get Homenycomb??? Maaan, this would be awesome I only want the devs to take their time to improve Gingerbread as much as possible.

Why would you want a tablet based os on such a little screen like the hd2. Makes no sense to me. I do believe this is one ill stay away from..

Yea ok, i bet if its ported and runs nice u will flash! lol

Just caught eye of this new story. It appears Honeycomb won't be limited to tablets. There's mention of a phone version to be released later this year.
Honeycomb love. Outstanding! Because the preview version impressed me. A lot different from the usual Android. I would love having this on my HD2.

Honeycomb is very nice according to pocketnow

[Q] i beg a themer to work on dell streak lol

hi
i had galaxy s and now on dell streak and its a nice phone but lacks comunity and lacks roms and themes. infact there is no themes on there, can any theme hobbiest whip up a theme for the streak. i duno like port a theme of your own to the dell streak? it would def open up a door for extra donations cause there is nothing else on there to compete

i mean its only the framework which needs theming, most stock apps on dell streak seem to be third party. i mean for a price. if someone is interested give me a price and if its reasonable i will pay it for the themes here to be ported on the dell streak

sad thing is there is only one dev for the phone who makes roms. who is also working on cm6, cm7 and 3.0 port, all on his own. it lacks community and devs. the phone has so much potential but just lacks the people behind it to push it forward

how hard would it be to port a theme. i mean is it a case of just copying over all the png png.9 and xml over to the dell streak framework and wolla lol

Android 2.3+ on NST and NSTG: Still A Dream!

[NEVERMIND] Ignore this thread as the new Nook glowlight still uses Android 2.1. Sigh! Look here: http://www.the-digital-reader.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/BN-NOOK-Comparison-Chart.pdf
So with the new Nook 2013, simply called Nook Glowlight, it seems the hardware specs have not changed other than better eInk resolution and 4GB internal memory. Yet, as it's running Android 2.3 (reconfirmed by a comment yesterday by Michael*), it gives us hope that once we get our hands on it, we'll be able to port it to the older models.
Personally, I think this is absolutely possible, it's just a matter of time.
*Source: http://goodereader.com/blog/electronic-readers/hands-on-with-the-new-barnes-and-noble-nook-with-glowlight-2013

We'll have to see how easy it will be to root it.
Without a microSD slot one avenue is cut off.
4GB is not bad, allocating only 0.5G for sideload is limiting.

Well, seems guys at Goodereader.com were wrong. As you can see, the new NG is reported to still run on Android 2.1. One thing which makes me question the validity of this piece of information (even on B&N's own website) is that on the same page (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Compare-NOOKs/379003181/), the CPU for NST is mentioned as to be 600Mhz!!!!! So, this info might be misleading. We have to see, I hope it's 2.3, but unlikely.

Wouldnt this thread be better suited for the Nook Touch General Sub Forum? Or at the least can you change the title of the thread?

B&N has published the GPL source. Looks like Eclair (Android 2.1) webkit. Still no firmware I can find. Probably won't see it until they release the first update to the Glowlight or a new owner figures out how to pull the factory.zip off their new Glowlight.

Wondering Why !!!
Hi,
I couldn't be more happier with my NST with Glowlight.
running 1.2.1 with both multitouch and norefresh hacks running great.
One thing i miss is offline news apps. like the one BBC has going which luckily runs on Android 2.1
but the bulk of offline news apps and many other great reading centric apps are on Android 2.2 and higher
I have been ever so hoping badly on why an Android 2.3 hasn't been a possibility on our NST & NST with glowlight.
I have seen much more bigger challenges accomplished on our NST's with G included.
marspeople, renate, and many more... are all over the NST landscape hacking away and increasing value of our NST's(with the dictionaries added, eink specific handwriting apps, norefresh app, multitouch cracks, kernel mods to unlock other value ... and the latest to the list is Renate's Reader app)
Inspite of all this talent, a shot for cm7 or an android 2.3 or even 2.2 hasn't been attempted.
I am assuming there is something that just doesn't add up ... to make such an attempt worthwhile.
Can Renate or anybody else list out a detailed description on why a custom ROM 2.2 or 2.3(preferably) is so undeserving of our NST's with Glowlight included.
really like to see that DEAD-END ... if there's one ... a very large part of me hoping badly that there isn't one !!!
and we can really live up to see a cm7 for NST & NST with G one day.
Cheers.

We need a cm compatible device tree, the kernel needs to be modified to boot cm. Would it be better to first attempt to port cm5 since it is based on android 2.1?

Gosh!
The Nook is a bit underpowered and doesn't have a lot of RAM.
It would take a bunch of effort to even increment up a few versions of Android.
Add to that is the fact that the best apps are eInk-aware.
I think it's better to decide which apps you want to use on the Nook and adapt/modify those.
Besides, even the apps that support 2.3 will be expiring soon.

Well, I looked at the statistics here: http://www.appbrain.com/stats/top-android-sdk-versions
I was surprised to see that Gingerbread (2.3) is still running almost 13% of market share.
I just think that this share will continue to drop and apps will start bypassing that version in their development.

What is actually the issue with running a newer version of Android on the Nook?

In a word: drivers. Each new version of Android requires rewritten drivers, without source code this is next to impossible, now you know why your carrier doesn't just push updates when they become available.

To be honest...a lot of developers have given up support for 2.1, as the market share is diminishing and it doesn't make sense to put the effort in to maintain compatibility
I would love to use moon+ or Google Books on my NSTG :/
Or a newer version of Pocket that is not that painful to use...
