I Still want some HoneyComb htc evo

I know every dev will flame me probably but i think it would be cool to have a fully functioning honeycomb port with hwa and camera working on it it would be tottaly awesome to play with for us flashaholics and a journy into a new type of evo for those who dont want to jump into an android tablet just yet!

There is n aplha still in the dev section, but practically nothing works. Just for tablets, so the project died. Everyone is focused on ICS, and since it'll be eventually on tablets, just stick with that.

I think it would be cool to have a port since the source is out but it would be alot of work to get it fully functional an since ics is out most see it useless

ive been toying with the alpha since last feburary XD im not much of a dev just a student useless no but most devs wont look at it for some reason and a build from source has never been attempted i cant compile since i dont want to partition my new cpu with linux or F up my startup with wubi lol but really EVO 4g development has slowed down! and once ICS is out itll be more of the same all these ics roms and clones will be released and nothing new to challenge or play with for us

Thats like asking me to eat the same kinda candy for the rest of my life XD lol to be honest with you ive been using ICS for a while now without the camera and im alrady bored of it!..... bored of the same ol releases coming out there are so many android flavors ! moto blurr droids Samsung Touchwiz overlays im tired of sticking with the same ol same
ANYONE REMEMBER THE OLD M9 port! that got to boot and fixed the .sh files to get data and network working!!! on that one but i cant keep it cuz its laggy it seems that were stuck with the same ol same all the time just copies of stock roms and copies of AOSP roms

Honeycomb less than or equal to Ice Cream Sandwich. The source code is basically the same, that's why it wasn't released until Ice Cream Sandwich was released too. Ice Cream Sandwich is just made to bridge the gap between tablets and phones.

How likely is ICS to be released on Sprint Epic 4G?

As above, can we reasonably expect ICS to be released on Spring Epic 4G sometime in the future, for e.g. within one year from today? Either manufacturer ICS release or a cyanogen mod one will be fine, so long as it is functional and stable. It's really pissing me off when I read that LG is planning to roll of ICS to their older phones like the LG Optimus Black which is identical to the Galaxy S spec wise, and Samsung make the announcement on the same day saying that ICS for Galaxy S will not be released. Screw them!!!
Will Epic 4G users be stuck with Gingerbread? I'm not too up-to-date with the latest developments about this too, but am I right to say that stable Gingerbread mods are out already?

I know that cyanogen mod seems to be working on Galaxy S devices, but not the Sprint Epic 4G (it's not one of the supported devices on their webpage).
Assuming cyanogen mod gets a working ICS going for the other Galaxy S phones, how difficult will it be for the cookers here to create a ICS custom ROM for the Epic?

CM9 is a maybe and official is a no.

Honestly the reason I left Apple was because they stopped supporting my iPhone 2G. I mean seriously, I had that jailbroken and I had "multitasking" working fine MONTHS before they actually released it. But no, apparently my phone couldn't support it.
I really hope Samsung changes their mind.

They just don't want to be bothered to try. They won't change from BML or RFS and with Touchwiz and the limited system space they know it will be a huge pain in the ass. It took them 8 months to make GB work on Touchwiz and US Carriers and a few majors still don't have it. If they only had the i9000 to worry about it might have happened.

you maybe rite, there is no reason for them to make an full ics for 1st gen gs, other then goodwill. or use mtd, that's more work and money for samsprint. the vaule pack like it says here: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...d-of-a-true-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-update_id25156
is least they will do. but like you said it will take time for them to get it ready, but that time most ppl will be on an port of ics or an new phone or maybe cm9. the new nexus has an either Google's ics or Sammy's ics. they can port it over but will sprint or other us carriers push? why would Sammy make something that carriers will not push out to the phones?

Just think about how long it took for GB to get to Epic let alone ICS. I dont even see my self getting another phone for a while... I haven't even dropped this phone since I bought it. Then I Otter boxed it before it left the store. The hardware is sound and it stable for me OC @ 15MHz.

I read Samsung dropped the value pack as well, but who cares? I'll be running cm9 with working 4g so Samsuck can suck my big one.

[Q] Dualboot?

Is it possible to have a Galaxy nexus and dualboot it with windows 7.5?
Thanks

I'm not going to say anything is impossible... but no. Not easily at least.
Even if you could get it on there drivers would probably be a big issue. It would take a lot of development to get things working properly. You'd have a lot of obstacles to overcome as well such as the lack of physical buttons.
Good luck

Nope.
Even if you somehow got it running it would still be illegal.
And to even try you would need the source code.

yeah well they tried and failed. even the director of wp7 developtment admitted defeat a few months ago . Personally I think it is a very decent platform. I really like its elagant user interface but if I just wanted ui I would've stayed with ios.
The reason wp7 didn't take off was because it was too late and there was no demand for it, not because it sucked.

I have dual boot Mango and ICS on my HD2.
Believe me, WP7.5 has a beautiful layout and the best keyboard, but besides that it's way inferior when compared to Android and iOS. Very lame browser and the apps have less options. It's fun to play with for a day, but more than that you'll get really frustrated.

The HD2 is a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone that you can install Mango on and dual boot into Android since other Android phones are very similar to.

Adding to what he said, since the hd2 already had windows on it it allowed It to be easier to port it onto, I think test builds where also made for it too. And since android is open source it was easy to port over( not really but easy for a dev). You'd have better luck buying a windows phone and dual booting that with android

BUMP to resurrect this thread.
I used to own a Palm Pre, and i can say without a doubt, that WebOS was smoothest and most intuative OS i've ever used..the ONLY thing that held WebOS down was the horrid hardware Palm and HP put out....
Please someone, I can't pledge a whole 100, but i will certainly pledge $40....it ain't much, but if you add up what the others say, it will get you pretty damn close to a new nexus 7....and than we could beg the great dev who does it to port it to the Nexus 7...
Come on XDA, lets do this...well one of you great devs do it!! lol....i'm a great tester flasher, but i'm no dev and i don't have the hardware to build it out...

I had the Palm Pre 1 and still have the Pre 3. They're great and easy to use devices. WebOs has so much potential, it shouldn't be given up that easy! It's so innovative and full of interesting functions. I would love to see a port to the One X!!
Some of it's benefits:
really fast!!
easy to use
a great solution for "multitasking" (some say it's a useless gimmick, but they should take a look how other OS's solved this problem (!...))
gorgeous interface!
ability to play .apk's (ACL)
Opensource
and far more things I can't remember right now
To compare how good the software architecture of WebOs is, take a look at the Moto Droid (Milestone 1) and the Palm Pre. While the Droid is very laggy on Eclaire or even Froyo, the Palm Pre with the same processor as the Droid runs very very fast and smooth. Even with WebOs 2.1, which actually hasn't been released for the Pre. There's a port of WebOs 2.1 for the Pre and even then it's still so smooth and fast. Flash contents on websites are running very fast, but when I take a look at my Droid using flash contents on websites...I can count the frames...
I still belive in WebOs, because it's, in my opinion, a great OS!!

With the lack of proper drivers (which can't be solved in this case), such a port will never be all that great.

You probably need to email and pm devs to get people to work on this. Look for the big devs on your devices forum pm them advertise it to them as a new thing to test and how fun it will be for them to do something new, then offer them the reward.

[Q] Alternatives? (CyanogenMod dropping Exynos support)

So, I was all excited to get a Note 2, but then I heard about CyanogenMod being unlikely to support new Exynos devices: http://codeworkx.de/wordpress/

You do know that codeworkx isn't the only developer for CyanogenMod or for Samsung devices. Him dropping support for Exynos devices isn't the end of the world. So what if he left, that's his personal choice & I understand why & completely support him but not everyone shares his views of dropping support for Exynos devices because devices like the S & Note series are very popular & its just a matter of time before some developer get his hand on the device & CyanogenMod will be developed for it. This is just needless panic.

The HTC One X5 looks good, but no clue on when it'll come out...
And yes #illidan, I realise that another developer may step up, and I do hope that happens. But from the sounds of things, it's not just codeworkx that is dropping Samsung support:
Entropy512 said:
Not likely to happen. If CM comes to the Note 2, it will only be if a new maintainer steps up.
Most of the current Exynos maintainer team (myself, espenfjo, codeworkx) and others have all decided that our current devices will be our last non-Nexus Exynos devices. I'm not sure about xplodwild, but I have a feeling he's highly unlikely to take up another Haxxinos with the rest of us gone and given his prior experiences with it.
If Samsung changes their attitude towards developers, this might change, but their attitude lately (zero documentation, zero platform source code, a trend towards bootloader locking - Only the Verizon S3 has a locked bootloader now, but Samsung has had the infrastructure in place since the S2 and they are constantly adding more checks) has led to the current Exynos maintainer team deciding that enough is enough. I don't think any of us are going to do anything to make Samsung's Exynos devices more attractive to any particular market segment until they provide assistance (in the form of technical documentation and source code) in return. I don't know about the others, but if they offer me a free device I'll say no - I refuse to participate in a PR stunt like the I9100 donations were.
Pretty much the only way I'll go back is if I see reference platform source that is up to the same standards as CAF and omapzoom, or they actually start providing real documentation and source code for the devices I'm currently working with.

Yes I'm well aware of the entire so called Exynos development team giving up because of Samsung's retarded ways but as of now I believe it's a 50-50 gamble for device support. Maybe a new maintainer steps up to the batting plate or an old one does (highly unlikely). It's basically up to you & seeing as the Note is the only choice for now if your looking for a phablet. I still believe that the device will receive support.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

A popular device like the Note II will surely get CM. But a point worth considering is the lack of help being provided by Samsung regarding the Exynos processor. So, in the future , development may slow down or there may be loss of particular functionality due to the lack of code or compatible blobs from Samsung for the Exynos.
Of course, there are many talented devs that gonna work on the Note II, but the Team Hacksung not supporting this is definitely a big blow, as they have shown the awesome work they can do with Samsung devices as well as the fact that they have tremendous experience on Samsung devices.

Hrm, this may not be concerning for the veteran android user,but as I plan(ned?) this to be my first android device, it makes me wonder if I should wait and see if there is support for it. I can't a stock anything, let a lone a phone. And unfortunatly this is the only android device I'm really looking forward to.

I've heard some chit chatter as well, as far as development / support not going to be strong but its not going to sway me from buying this phone.. It's still going to be awesome.. Even if its just stock rooted to get rid of system things you don't need
