WebOS on inc2. - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

Seems it can be done. I for one, am 100% for it and would love to see it done. Please respond if you would too. Let's get the attention of one of our great devs to get it done.

I'd definitely be interested in webOS, I actually REALLY like that OS

Considering that the last OTA version of webOS for phones came out in December 2011 and that the App Catalog currently has less than 10,00 apps (and dropping), I think I'll stick with Android. It would be interesting to see it running on an Inc2, but it seems like it would merely be a novelty.

Now that it is open sourced, it should be like compiling a rom. I can't fully say, I'm no dev.

Buy a palm pre. I don't think any dev would even take this on. Maybe you can find a similar launcher of sorts.
I was actually thinking of getting a used pre myself just to play with.

having had the palm pre, dont bother
webos is neat, but the device is so crappy/small/cheap its not worth spending 5 minutes with
there is a lot of open webos development on the touchpad, and its a much better implemenation of it....if you can pick one up cheap, thats a better route to go

[Dev][Req] Motoblur time? Maybe.

Yeah. I'm back with another "Mission Impossible". I have an Android 1.6 MotoBlur rom that long back was ported to the HTC Magic. Link here >>>>http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569329<<<<<<
Now obviously you can see my goal. Get it working here, OR maybe even just parts of it. My original goal was just the MotoBlur launcher, but this seems to be the closest thing I can find possible. My current problem seems to be the framework, but I may be wrong. Anyone wish to help?
this is ancient but i might be able to help. you port from dsixda's kitchen yet?
Dear god, why would you want to poison this lovely device with Motorola's abomination?
I'm sure there are many Backflip/Flipout/Flipside/Bravo owners that would trade you and put cash on top to not own a device with Motoblur.
Well I plan on getting a Motorola atrix or HTC inspire. So I'd like to get a feel for motoblur. And I tried dsixda but I only tried with a 2.2 rom. This is 1.6.

+ 1 for the atrix... I just upgraded to a atrix from my little aria and I gotta say its got some balls.. They just did a stock release of gingerbread and they unlocked the bootloader so it'll be running cm7 in a month or less.
Between the dual core processor, the extra 512mb of memory and the oc kernel you can get not to mention the webtop doc and laptop shell that you can run a full blown copy of debian or gentoo on.. I think the sgs2 might be lagging behind a little (not to say that its laggy, just the atrix is pretty awesome.. although i might be a little bias ). I still miss my aria's size but the atrix is a beast!

HP WebOS + Galaxy S2

Do the Tmobile Galaxy s2 have the same chipset as the hp touchpad? So would hp webos work on this phone? Since webos is open source now and has anyone ported it to anything yet?
thanks, btw im new so my questions may seem dumb. lol.
Ween is is meant for tablets not phones and even if we could port Web OS to the galaxy S2, somebody would have to program the kennel and that's not very easy. what do you wanna do with Web OS anyway, Android is much better?

You do realize that a large portion of ICS was stolen from WebOS when Matias Duarte left HP for Google. WebOS is still the best UI and the best for multi-funcionality, better than android and better than iOS. Don't confuse crappy HP with the product itself because WebOS is quite good, it's just that HP had no clue what to do with it.

I don't consider webOS junk at all, just because you prefer to use android doesn't exactly mean that all other mobile OS's are inferior in any way. I would like to see alternative roms for a phone that aren't just Android. Would make purchasing a phone allot more of a fun experience in my opinion.
i had a touchpad before, the multitasking on it was so smooth but sadly hp launched the touchpad late compare to the other tablets on the market. It was destined to sell poorly
It sold poorly because it came to the market late and was sort of underpowered for webOS.
Android is a great operating system, but webOS now that it's open source, would be a great addition to the SGS2.
What's great about webOS is the multitasking experience and it's built upon open web technologies.
I'd flash webOS on my SGS2 if it were available. Kinda doubting it though
I was really hoping to find something productive in this thread. I like webOS and would still own a webOS device if HP would have created a device that wouldn't fry when I plugged it into a charger. I loved the os that was very fun and easy to use.

No info on carriers yet, why wouldn't it be on Verizon? Galaxy Nexus is.
IMO the Gnex on vzn is like the a red head stepchild compared to the others on different carriers. They had a it exclusively on release but bombed it when it came to updates, 3 month delay on jb....the G wallet fiasco... Idk just don't see it in the cards
Not to mention that all new vzn Samsung phones have locked bootloaders when they're wide open on the other carriers.

True. But the otas are still needed for kernel source right? (Or does that worry vanish for some reason on a nexus?) I mean isn't kernel source why battery life on cm9/10 is meh for us right now? I think aeros builds are hacked up gb kernels, although its impressive how far he's brought things. Anyways I hate skins and much prefer vanilla android, hence why I prefer nexus. Different strokes for different folks I guess but I don't know why anyone would actually choose to run sense. If I was Google I'd be pissed all these companies are skinning android.

The thing is that Google tries to release timely updates for their own devices. The other manufacturers like to screw with things by adding their skin on top of the Android version and ruin everyone's day. Why can't we just get our updates or be given the option to choose what launcher we want!?! :'(

I seriously doubt Samsung would make a Nexus based on the Galaxy Note. And LG making a Nexus would mean that I wouldn't want a Nexus. I already stated why I wouldn't want one so yeah. The only Nexus I would ever want would have to be by ASUS or Samsung. I never want another Nexus from HTC ever again (not because of software but hardware issues).

I would buy a nexus 7, but there no Amoled screen. If Samsung made the 7 it would be the same (or better) as the GN. And it would have a 1080p display. Of course it would cost 300-400$, but in my opinion an amazing display is worth it.

Question ... just fyi the dinc2 is my first android. So I confess ignorance on thus stuff. I know that moto bootloaders are virtually unlockable. But does this worry matter with nexus phones? And specifically with LG phones? I really don't care about manufacturer. I care more about raw competitive specs and the ability to get s off and root. Is achieving both typically easy on nexus phones? Or can they be released locked down like moto has done with all their droids to date? Thanks for any incite. I wish I knew half of what the average poster on here knows about this stuff. Love this board.

With a heavy heart I am here to confess I am leaving the world of Vivow... :crying: The waiting game for updates and empty promises from HTC and Verizon both, I have made this decision to sell my Incredible 2 and never look back. With that said, I am also saying farewell to HTC completely. Not enough backing of their current lineup in my opinion. I shouldn't have to upgrade to the latest phone just to get the new build of Sense or latest build of Android. I should also not have to depend on community developers to get what I want. Oh well, it's time to cut the strings.
Dev's.. from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you all for giving us your personal time and effort into developing fun, useful, and up-to-date roms that just make us flash-aholics happy!! You will never be forgotten!!

Ah.. those issues if I remember were ROM related.. The phone has always been 100% using stock or CM7/9 ... but it's very picky about what other roms I use.. very strange device I have.. but un-rooted and stock it will be good as new.. cosmetically just a few blemishes and only one 1/4" scratch on the screen... not bad for having it and using it almost non-stop for almost 2 years now.. I have it on eBay but I'm thinking of pulling it.. almost 40 views already and 3 watchers.. unless that grows I'll probably yank it.. maybe.. I don't know..

If your problem is only with large screen then go for it! Because when I bought my S3, my first thought in mind after unboxing was "seriously, why did I even buy this huge phone" (saw S3 first time).

My co-worker has it, so I have had a chance to play with it already. It's not much bigger than the E4GT, but I want a phone where I can reach across with my thumb without having my palm activating stuffs on the edge of the screen.
The other reason is the E4GT just start working well enough after all these years, so I'll wait for more stable ROMs first

That's good that you used it already and as you wish.

More stable? I think the ROMs coming out now fire this device are the most stable ones I have ever used, but I'm coming from the EVO Shift.

I'm waiting for the SG4 variant called the Active. Milspec, waterproof, etc. Other than that, I want a Note 2 (yeah, the pixel density isn't as high as the SG4 but whatever).
I don't understand people by saying can I buy this or wait
For what I'm waiting special at this time. I wish my contract could upgrade now. S4 and HTC one both phones are best why not to enjoy with this phone on time . instead of waiting unknown phone and date release come on falks wake up

I would just upgrade. I personally want the HTC One. But I can't upgrade for another year.

The non-removable battery scares me a bit. What is the solution for when it wears out?

I would assume the manufacture warranty would cover it but I'm not sure. Also, it's just my personal preference. I miss HTC and there build quality. The S4 is nice, I would upgrade to it if I wanted another Samsung.

I don't think so. Standard warranties are one year. If it's out of that year, I don't think they'll cover it.

If it last you another year, your upgrade is ready and you get a new phone. But who knows. Go with what you feel comfortable with.
Unremovable battery is not big deal
