Developing for android seems like it works the best when you are using ubuntu. Since you can boot ubuntu from the phones, shouldn't it be possible to write the software on the phone, from ubuntu? Or is it too restricted?

I was thinking about just using the built-in otg support and getting a usb hub so I could plug in a keyboard and mouse. And probably like a hard drive or something. But technically it should be possible right?
umm considering you wouldn't have enough ram to compile a build
Why not just dual boot your machine and still keep the luxury of a large display to work with lol

The only computer decent enough to do anything in my house right now is my parents' iMac and they would freak out if I installed any other operating system on it.

From searching around I believe our phone uses the 72k right. So is a open psjailbreak port doable for this phone? Why or why not? Thanks

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I wasn't aware the recent PS3 hack was related to 72k otherwise I might have an answer for you already.
In the event that you're still around at this moment: what does the jailbreak do, exactly? Does it unlock NAND or does it give us ring 0 access?

Nevermind - I misunderstood your question. I thought you meant that this exploit somehow allowed us to access our bootloader, but CR made me realize that you just want to be able to use the Slide to exploit the PS3? Bah, sorry, not interested personally. Not sure why using a flash drive is so difficult
EDIT: if you can't use a flash drive then I'm sorry. If I had a PS3 to test this I might be bored enough to port it, but I'm not. Also, Sony already released a new mandatory firmware upgrade that defeats this exploit, so if you want to play games on PSN, you're screwed.
yea im waiting for usb to arrive, that is not my problem just thought it would be cool to be able to use my phone. as well the firmware update checks can be bypassed with a simple change of dns adress or with a proxy tool. just wondering why it could or couldnt be ported. i am new to android but love my rooted slide. would like to learn more about the community and if someone decides to port i may not be much help but would like to be involved in the process just for the learning experience

effort in > advantage out, meaning that the amount of work to port this isn't worth it to most of us just for a 'coolness' factor.
that PS3 hack is going to ruin the PS3, just wait and see. Sony won the lawsuit against the AUS companies, just a matter of time before they win against the USA companies and the bans start rolling out.
glad I sold my PS3 and gave up on games a long time ago.
The PS3 jailbreak will only support the PSP & USB flash drive and that's it. Im guessing you own one of those right?
There are custom built kernels and roms for the jailbreak already for the nexus one, milestone, dream and various other devices including a TI-84 calculator version.

Sorry, haven't been up to date with Andro, been busy with school lately...Just saw this article http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/05/ps3-jailbreak-adapted-to-nokia-n900-palm-pre-in-wake-of-austral/
Hope dumfuq can implement this for us too.
yes im interested in this too... i was looking at the source to try and compile it with slide kernel but it was confusing haha ill leave it to the pros.....
The HP Pre 3, uses the same Qualcomm chip as the Incredible 2, and me, a BIG webOS fan, would actually really enjoy seeing WebOS on the Incredible 2. Someones got it working on the Evo 3D apparently according to precentral (Now webosnation) so I'm sure people could get it working on the Incredible 2. Anyone want to try when it's all ready?
If someone is willing to take the time to port it, I'd dang sure be one to try it.

aw. I read that it looks beautiful on a high density screen. I really love WebOS, I hope when the source releases someone ports it.
What I'm more excited about when it comes to the webOS source being released is people frankensteining it with android and creating some epic hybrid roms.

Depends what license the.release it under.....just open sourcing it doesn't mean they will allow ut to be tinkered.with like that (if its even possible)
I'm not sure exactly what license would allow that, but no one wants hp suing them

The reason it failed was old hardware. Palm and HP used old hardware which was slow for it.
I would try this out in a heartbeat.
Git-r up an runnin'!!!
Like a hobo on a ham sandwich, I'll be on dat. Just for ships and wiggles.
I really like Web OS from the times I used it but I had a feeling from the start it was a failing system so I never got one of the phone. I would love a port or a hybrid. That would be awesome.

Not only that, but the difficulty of the SDK drove developers away from it to the much easier iOS and Android environments...
I had a Pre... the App selection for the WebOS phones was abyssmal.. sure, we had preware, but that didn't make up for it.

The parts that have already been released were under GPL v2, so that's a logical assumption for the rest of it.

Like they made in Atrix, they also made it with the cable, so in theory, if GNexus is MHL enabled, you can output your video on a monitor.
So, is there anyway to enable webtop on it?
If there isn't, is somewhere the source code of webtop on Atrix, so I can learn and try to port it to GNexus?

Didn't say it was impossible. You make it sound like it is easy. Why don't you have a crack at it? Start with motorola's framework, how you're going to divvy up the ram, drivers, connectivityand whatever else. Let us know how it goes. Oh btw, you aren't getting paid for this. Just the satisfaction of doing and maybe some high fives. Maybe some donations if you get a usable port going.

Ill try to make that port, i was just asking if is there some port already.
What I wanna is to go with ubuntu for android, but ubuntu just realeased for manufacturers, so I guess I can't get that.
But if there isnt any port, ill try to look around for the motorolas one.
If someone wants to help, I'll start a thread after i got something.
Thanks anyway
Not Windows mobile.
Is it possible to put windows on the phone? Has such development ever taken place? Pop in a hdmi cable to use a monitor, bluetooth keyboard, and you have a full pc.
Is this plausible?
Nope not at all

Windows 8 will be the first version of Windows able to run on the ARM architecture, and even then I'm sure it won't run on an EVO.
You could probably get Win95 running within DosBox though...haha

well ubuntu is apparently making it to ARM type devices (that have dual cores and up) using the HDMI cable to monitor method. not talking ubuntu one its full on ubuntu+the phone bits.

No. And no one will be, since it has to be implemented by the manufacturer. Ubuntu stated, that they may release source to fiddle with, but they havent until now.

Main Problem is, that it would need implementation in the kernel since it runs besides Android all the time and uses the same kernel. I also would like to See a port of this, but since no units with this feature were sold till now , there is no easy way to get hold of the code (sadly)...

we will see how useful the ubuntu UI will be on phones. hopefully it gets better than the desktop unity crap
also time will tell on which devices ubuntu for phones actually can run.. the guy in the video said it could run on any android device.. i doubt that
but i'm still excited for this.. having it dual boot would be awesome i guess
So it runs alongside Android and when you connect the phone to the PC it turns into an Ubuntu system, sounds neat!

on the ubuntu homepage i the phone section there is a page where is a part where you can see what are the things which have to have the phone ...the "min" and "max" and our phone will run it good because of enough memory and good cpu ...just wait...at first they will make it avaiable on the nexus 4 and after a while for other
They will post development images for the galaxy nexus (not N4) which can be ported to other phones The whole thing already runs on an android kernel which should speed up the porting a little. I'm going to follow this closely though, especcially the thin client function looks neat. We have some BYOD rules and what we basically do is just RDP in from out own docked laptop instead of an availible thin client. With this I could just dock my phone and start working.

if you read through the steps, it asks you to flash a boot.img, which certainly wont work for us.

It's a really nice idea but you'll lose the functionality of a phone and it was pretty damn hard to use on a 7 inch screen running in gnome.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ubuntu for nexus 7 require repartitioning? If that's the case then there's no way it would work for most of us.

This is made to run on a linux/android kernel..... Which should translate into an easy move..... Plus its made for mobile...
It is a mobile OS so why would we lose mobile features.
Plus as this is for mobile... It won't be hard to navigate as everything is scaled and repositioned.
