I was wondering, Where is Ubuntu? I mean, its been announced way back in the beginning of the year and it was rumored that it was coming to come out before the year is over, but no mention of this happening. I just would like to see something different besides the same CM, TW style of roms.
Be nice to see something different. Just thought I ask.
Saucy Salamander AKA Ubuntu Touch is a community driven project. Its in development and will take time. You could help them port from the Nexus version to the T999 if you are so inclined.
I wish I can port. I don't know anything about coding or porting.

With all the work this community has gone into getting Android to work on the TP2/Tilt2, would you be disappointed or upset if HTC developed and released a full featured and functional Android build for the TP2/Ttilt2

No, more like excited. Seeing as that's what all this work has gone into trying to accomplish in the first place. lol
Bah! I can't vote right on my own poll...
I can't wait for full Android on this or my next phone whoever makes it.
why would i be disappointed? it would give more access for the devs here to work with.
I would hope that HTC worked with the xda developers to create an android rather than voiding all the existing work.
However if HTC did release one I bet it would solve many of the problem the xda guys have had and would enable them to finish alternative flavours of Android for the TP2.
Either way having android for the TP2 would be just awesome whoever cracks it.
I vote yea because I am not an end user, all these end users probably voted no because they would just be satisfied that theres a working build, but they give no credit to the people that have taken time out of their lives to get something working that a lot of people would have no idea how to do. and yet the devs get no credit...
I want to dump my phone for android based phone.
I think even the devs would love it, because they could then focus their efforts on modding and creating apps which they are really good at and really enjoy instead of backward engineering what has already been done.
I wish...
I wish they would, but it probably won't happen. I'm sure there is already a strain on the HTC-Microsoft relationship because most (if not all) of their new high-end devices are Android based, with the exception of the HD2 (which isn't really new anymore). I'm sure HTC is developing WP7 devices but most of their focus right now seems to be on Android. If they release an Android build for a WinMo device, Microsoft will probably throw a fit. I'm sure HTC wants to do it to spike sales and increase the "lifespan" of the Rhodium, but it would not be in their best interest. However, if there are any HTC engineers and such listening, please feel free to "leak" unofficial 2.1 or 2.2 builds to the geniuses here. 3.0 is welcome as well...
I would love it, but please, don't get my hopes up.
i wouldnt be BUT i do realize the hard work and effort the devs. have made on this project. im sure it would make things easier for devs. then they could focus on modding and apps.
i will never ever turn on the freakin window-mo......more and more and more then happy if Htc release the official Android 3.0 a.k.a. Gingerbread build
HTC would never do this. So the hypothetical question shouldn't even be answered.
I think i would go buy it.
I would like to see a rom with android and wm working as one but back to the question u would have to think about money they would make with people switching n buying another htc phone with andriod but I do think they should lend an helping hand with getting the sound to work

The fact that the HD2 can boot Android, WinMo6.5, and Windows Phone 7 makes me mad and jealous.
I don't know how many of you there are out there that would like to have the ability to run anything but android on our phones. I agree, Android is superior and is amazing and all, but I get bored sometimes and before you tell me to flash a new ROM... in the end they're all Android. Why not have the ability to flash different OPERATING SYSTEMS onto our phone? I mean hey, if the HD2 can do it so can we!
I understand there is a great deal of work involved in all of this but I'm sure there are others out there like myself who would enjoy such a feature. I created this thread in order to bring those people together so maybe we could find a few developers interested in getting this going.

Well there is a dualboot project underway by a developer Uncorupted. Right now its between 2 android roms, but its still progress.
P.S. you might get flamed for posting here.
Would be nice to try. Good luck!

I've been following the dual boot project and it's definitely something I'm going to make use of (Running CM and a Sense rom... what's better than that?), but at the same time I know there's a handful of people who are interested in running winmo or windows phone 7 on their EVO. This is an amazing piece of hardware and I think it'd be great if we could figure out a way to make more things work on it.

The dev support for the HD2 is superior to the EVO because of its worldphone (GSM) capabilities. Although it would be awesome to have the choices, I doubt it will ever happen on a Sprint device.
It kinda sucks because I feel like the phone has so much potential if it were running on more OS's
Hey i didn't know whether to post this in Q&A or Android Development so sorry if its in the wrong place
I've just read that HP is releasing Open WebOS source code tomorrow and was thinking, now that its open source, if it would be possible to port it to the HTC Desire?
I used to own a Palm Pre and WebOS ran very well due to it being extremely lightweight so i don't think that it should have any problems running on the Desire.
Even the gestures under the screen should be possible with the desires trackpad thingy.
I have no knowledge in porting or programming or anything android based really but think its a good idea so if anyone on here has any know-how, feel free to let me know if its possible? :good:
I was thinking about it to. Just have read about the release. Would it be possible to port?
I'd love to start working on a ROM with someone. I'm trying to learn on my own with just what I can find on google and here at XDA. I have gotten the build environment running using the guides from source.android.com and that's it. I've been flashing ROMs for a year or so. I have a Toro and two old Moto Droid 2s. I really enjoy working with Android, but I don't know enough. I really want to learn though. I'd like to work with people who are like me in wanting to learn and also with people who have some good experience. Just post in the thread or PM me.
"New".
I'd love to help, but probably won't be able to until I get a new laptop in a couple of weeks. I'm in the same boat as you. Had build environment setup on old PC. Would love to learn as well
Would love to get in on this too!

You could try working with another Dec to port their rom to Toro. One Tom I would like to see is pacman or jellybam

the goal
Well I've got the hardware for compiling. I've got a quad-core and a dual-core both setup to build. (I had it on the dual-core first then got a new computer). I did a build (not sure if it came out right or not... still learning XD) the other day, starting it at night, and it was done in the morning.
What I would like to do is pickup where Peter Alfonso (Bugless Beast) is leaving it. He's recently gotten busy and Android is no longer a priority for him. I would use his source from git-hub and give him credit for it. I would love to add more features and settings and continue to improve it as new versions of android come out.
But like I said... I still need to learn. I'm still unsure how to get the compiled build onto my phone to try it. I plan on comparing the source code from Cyanogenmod, Bugless Beast, and others just to see what they've done.
Hey all. I was just wondering... Since UT is now at a 1.0 for devs and industry, would anyone be willing to continue its development on the HP TouchPad? Someone had a super sluggish port kind of working. Here's its thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426924
It seems he's abandoned it to work on something xmir/mir and Sailfish based, but I really like the concept of UT.
Make it happen ppl! lol
EDIT Here's his github code, but it's not been touched (no pun intended lol) in about 3 months...
