Fairphone - Fairphone

Interesting at least. Cool concept and not a half bad phone. I really like the idea of choosing the OS when you order. That's a neat idea. What do you guys think of this?

hope this phone gets the interest and the support that it DESERVES
it is nothing compare with the hw of the latest smartphones but if you have the sensibility to understand what this is about you will have no choice than get one :good:
i will definitely give it a try

If you do end up getting one, let us know!!

I like the whole "support great performance not warfare" bit. I don't know how the Congo is these days but back even a few years ago trying to source anything from there was hit or miss. I'm hope this company well but its not exactly an easy road they are choosing to take.

Awesome!! Should be interesting...

This is such and awesome idea

Fairphone is my favourite idea of this new "wave" of smartphones and OSes coming out. I only have one android phone, and it is my first, so not really an experienced used in this area, but I can really imagine a Fairphone running Firefox OS It should be named the "respectable combo" x)

Definitely a cool idea. I'm thinking about getting the next nexus though ( if it gas att LTE) that or a Samsung just because they are so popular (more devs).

Fairphone - The Technical Details And Links
Hi folks, I see you're interested in the Fairphone as well. I started a thread with technical details, linked in benchmark/product videos and hope to get support from Fairphone as I started several requests.

IMO... webos trumps android in every way. it's just the hardware "pre & pixi" that sucks. id love to see a port of this.

no because i want the devs to see it. if we get some big names behind this im sure it could happen. even devs at precentral are onboard. webos 2.0 + the evo = WIN!
edit:too late i guess!
really? no interest at all?
If the hardware were better I would probably still be rocking webos but android is pretty good, too. Best multitasking I've seen was webos.
I would love if this happened!! I love playing with my wifes palm pre!
would love to see this on the evo
i cannot believe it but it looks like they got it booting now... can we get some evo devs to help out and port this sucker over here? ill donate heavy for this!
they said they should have a youtube video up sometime soon. i hope palm doesn't try anything now that they got it working.
seriously... no ones interested? can i get a mod to move this to the dev section please.
I for one think that webos 2.0 is kinda nice. I prefer my android but webos is cool in its own right.
I would like a dual booting option.

theres not one out that's usable on an everyday level, and don't expect one for a couple weeks. gingerbread came out less than a week ago, and the code wasn't released till friday.

I agree with everyone who has said this so far.
Evervolv and OMGB are actually pretty good ROMs right now; the *only* thing I'd complain about is that they get really, really hot during NORMAL usage (20 minutes of Internet browsing will jack your internal temperature up past 100 degrees). But, they're very fast and, oddly (given the heat issue), pretty good on battery life. Only real issues are GPS & camera but those will get hammered out probably before New Year's, if not soon after.
And of course, whenever the N1 gets the 2.3 OTA update, everyone will be in the Gingerbread business. So I'd just sit back, relax, and try some of the current GB ROMs, if only to prepare yourself for the awesomeness that will be the polished products of 2010/2011. XD

[Q] Any Prospects for Dev Support?

Am seriously considering this for my next phone. Does anyone know if any devs will soon be supporting this device? I'm not one to have blind faith.

I doubt it. If you want roms, you should look at the HTC one, gs4 or note 2. This phone isn't popular enough probably because it launched so close to the other big ones and is only available on att.

I dunno. @thecubed doesn't own this phone and @designgears mentioned that he bought it because of the locked bootloader, implying be didn't want to flash stuff. Then again, he essentially let cubed brick his phone so apparently his addiction still had him in a strangle hold.
It will happen, but how long and when it does how many roms will we see.
I'm mainly looking for the ability to restore my phone if I bootloop which I already have.

Lets hope for the best as this phone has a great potential. I love it and feels its a solid upgrade to the Note II as i was not happy with the S4. Pls keep us posted

[WIP] Lets activate Camera RAW Mode Status: Beginning

I found some intresting files in sys/ directory that could help me in this project but i need some some comments about it and im not sure about that the front and back camera will have this feature i appriciate every help i get
The HOX has HTC's own image chip that is capable in taking RAW picture but i think htc f***ed it up again so the RAW picture mode landed in the Developer partition of the Device so now my Project is to implement it again. The negative thing is just the htc album has no codec for RAW Pics so you have to use a third party app then :/
Examples:
-Android_Camera 2
-sys/modules/rawchip
sys/devices/virtual/rawchip/rawchip0
*there is an other file im searching in the sys developer partition

Reserved 2

I still believe in HOX for Development
Sounds good but like many said HOX is not anymore * attractive device * for developers , we're lucky that we had great kernel devs and rom devs, infact we had best rom devs , sucha are richmond which made probably the most advanced sense rom ever in the history of XDA. Anyway the idea sounds good but requires some time , and by the time you manage to do it there will be only few left to use it or care for it.
Anyway i wish you all the best and best of luck into making this happen since i love my hox too much to sell it but still got me One.

I would love to see this, I always prefer raw from my dslr when I'm working in photoshop and would be really interesting to see it in Hox, and as some have already said, the Hox is nowhere near dead or old, it will be around for quite a while yet. Waiting eagerly

Believe. I've had the htc one but the camera sucks. I sold it..now I have the one x again. Just because it's newer doesn't make it super amazing.
