If somebody ported 4.2.2 from the g2 it'd be amazing.

[Q] WebOS on the Galaxy S2?

Is it do-able? I know that things like the GNex, and an evo have gotten some of the open source versions of it, so why not us? How hard could it be?

Well, it all comes down to the willingness of a developer if he/she wants to port it or not. If you question the availability of porting webos, then you try porting it then.
Another option would be good, but at this point, why? With ics stable and jb stable around the corner, it really doesnt make sense for a dev to port it. Webos lacks alot compared to android.

The developers always love challenges. They might port it if it is interesting enough. I think the matter is whether we have the good enough developers, who use S2.

I think our developers are good enough to do it its just we don't have a lot of them compared to other phones. The more there are the better the odds are of something like that happening.. We are still better off than other phone models!

This galaxy is probably the least popular of the galaxy s2's so yeah the odds are against us.

I'm surprised that Web OS never really became more popular! Any reviews I've seen of it, it looked pretty good!

We only have few active developers. Some also have left oir community. So, i guess we should enjoy JB instead of dreaming about webOS.

Just for **** and giggles, if you go to the sr forum and flash the aromakang you have an option for sense 4 two and webos. Just a lil FYI. Does not need any rotation fix or anything like that.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Wait, that's a theme or real webos?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I know its an option but I do believe its a theme. Never used it.

I been looking online for a webos launcher or a good theme thats not for cm9. But no luck, also there is a webos theme for gb miui not miuiv4 for some reasons gb miui themes are not compatible with miui v4. sure wish there could be a easy way of converting gb themes work on ics miui rom. Seems like Gb was more popular on themes than ics
I've been doing some looking... it honestly doesn't look so difficult.

Porting Touchwiz features to AOSP?

Is this possible? I heard Samsung has their features closed source, but i dont know if that is true.
If it is true has anybody find a way to do it?
is there a guide to do this?
If this is possible this would be great for a rom.:laugh:
I believe there are developers already working on this. Hope it comes soon. Check developing forms

Korean firmware leaked. Works on our phone too.

Here is the Korean firmware. We can probably kang something useful. Don't attempt to flash. It isn't made for Sprint phones and you will turn your phone into a paper weight or an iPhone.

If you flash the F180L version you can boot and use the phone. Your radios won't work though. You will still have WiFi. Any devs who feel generous might be able to port this.

Updated the title, turns out this firmware works on our phone. It boots. WiFi is a go. Just no data or phone since it is set to the wrong frequency.

That's awesome! So JB could be here soon?

I used google translate and yes that is a jellybean update. Hope starting the new year we could have jb on our phones. Too bad that it is not the new jeallybean update 4.2
I really miss it from my Galaxy Nexus, the UI is amazing. Of course with tweaks but hopefully this one gets it as well.
Sounds like it should be fairly easy to make a fully functional flashable zip then? I'll donate

Still trying to understand all of this (I'm sort of a noob)
What does the system dump do?
It is for the devs.

A stock JB would be nice. I was used to having the 4.2
I downgraded when I bought the Optimus. I do like this one over the Galaxy Nexus though.

[Q] (Q) CM10

Hey guys I'm new to this thread, coming from the HTC Evo 4g LTE first off this phone is a beast in my opinion. It seems a bit underrated not a lot of people know about the phone oh well their loss. But I was wondering since 4.1 jelly bean is out does that mean CM10 is coming, or do we still need for LG to release more files?
We'll get it soon, LG released all they need to. Just a matter of being patient and waiting for devs to do their stuff. You can follow their progress here.
Someone needs to post my meme. Where are you guys? Lol

I think once lg spits out the source code we will see many roms like cm, PA, Xylon,etc
