hi guys,
its possible to install an alternative operating system on the HTC S730? For example a special Linux distribution?
greets
mike
Sure! Did you develop it?
oh.. sorry i wanted to ask if there is already a distro, because i'm not able to develop one
There are some works going on to run linux on the S710.
Maybe this is a point to start:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux
I pray for Android to be available eventually.
oh.. i watched the android demo video. I'm really surprised..
Will this OS run on all Smartphones? For example on our HTC Wings?
the guys over in the kaiser forum have recently got basic android running on their touchscreen devices but its uses a mixture of linux (to shut down WM and launch android!) and a 24mb cab file..! awesome thou! i tried it on my kaiser however it only ran for 10 seconds and hasnt worked since, BUT its a start!!!
is android also available for mobile phones without a touchscreen?

..in fact that the software isn't out yet (?!) I don't know it.
there is a thread here about android and linux on the diamond. so far it's not working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402002
yes this would be great because i don't like the windows mobile os the android looks a lot better
Now, our BlackStone've got Windows Mobile 6.1, 6.5, (maybe) 7, Android (Linux), iPhone themes and etc.
So, can anyone who being the top developer in XDA-Dev will try to run symbian from Nokia 5800?
I think that if this idea come true, it's maybe make BlackStone to be the Guiness World of Record that can install (almost) operating system for mobile device in the world.
Please share your idea...
from a pure hardweae point of view the blackstone should be able to run symbian (directky/as primary OS) on a softwear point of view the current spl probably will not permit it if that is the case that can be resolved but would require quite extensive modification of the code in the spl. akternitivly the othere approach is to run as a secondary or emulated os. but then if the spl dose allow symbian the os will need to be ported all options requre a fair deal of work on the soft wear, im a heardwear guy no coder or softwear writer/developer i can do some basics but if the project starts ill be happy to do what i can.
this would be akin to putting a fiat engine in a ferarri, no?

ya i thnk ur right...but having symbian as an emulated os will shut up every other idiot who'll claim that our phone is **** because it doesnt run symbian (like n97) so..will be a BIG plus point ...n can also put our dear phone in guiness world records.

Not quite! Let's not forget that Ferarri is owned by FIAT !!
So symbian on the HD will be more complicated!
Hi,
Don't take this the wrong way, but if you like the symbian software that much (And believe me, I do love it to) why don't you just buy the Nokia 5800... the device is developed for the soft so it will run perfect on that one...

Just be the idea because if anyone (I mean to XDA-Dev's intelligent developers) can ported and modified ROM for install Symbian OS, it's will be the really good thing.
I like the WM very much, but still want to know that is it possible to run other OS? I think that it will really good sound as if we can run almost OS in the world.

i too wish if there was away to run symbian on my tp2 i have been a hard core symbain lover since the nokia 7650 but since i brought the n96 which was very disappointing it was time to change so i brought the htc touch pro2 however i love the phone but hate the OS so i hope there will be a way for phones to have multiple os like symbian and android and winmo all in one phone that would be awesome

Hello
Title says it all.
Do you think it is possible to port Nokia's MaemoOS (www.maemo.org) from the new Nokia N900 to hTC devices?
Thanks for answers.

Hi,
What are the difference with it and Winmo, Android,...?
that's hot!
im curious too about maemo...
i've taked a look on the web,but i found nothing....
It's Debian based running Hildon-Desktop on top...
With enough devs doesn't seem too hard to port, we already got Linux Kernel running on some PDA's it's mostly an Hildon-Desktop doing the rest.
Would be interesting indeed, I am currently waiting for Android to the HD, but Maemo would be nice too ! And I think I am not the only one.

There is community driven edition of Maemo called Mer. It is fully open source and it should in theory be possible to run it on blackstones at the moment. But it is not that usable/fully polished as Maemo 5 on Nokia n900. HTC Touch Pro is already mentioned on http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Status.
PS. I'm following UPS delivery of my n900, will have it on monday
Don't forget that the N900 is a really powerfull device with alot more "oempf" then our HD's.
I think that as an linux distributable, android is allot more qaulified for our HD's then Meamo will ever be
Thank you all for very good replies
I did not think that this would make such an interest...hope more people will read this and maybe some DEVs too
probably yes, but given the time and effort required, it would be easier to just have people buy an n900. poeple choose a blackstone because they want winmo/tf3d or whatever
i like to think it like this - if someone found a way to attach a coffee machine to a blackstone, id be interested, but given the time and effort required to get it to work (not to mention practical) i wouldnt be too fussed. anyone who wanted coffee machine functionality might have bought the wrong device
id say lets android working first then maybe work on other linux OSs would be easier
A couple of things:
By default Mer uses LXDE as its desktop but you can switch to Hildon (the n900 UI) using update-alternatives (Google it).
However Hildon uses Clutter which uses GL, and it all runs on Xorg, so unless there's a hardware 3D driver for Xorg for your device you're going to be out of luck I think (unless you like horribly slow and jerky UIs). Afaik there isn't an accellerated 3D Xorg driver for Raphael. Not certain but pretty sure.
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to run dual OS on the galaxy S tab? Like Android and Apple !?

Is that a serious question?

Seems like a legitimate question to me, ViewSonic's ViewPad 10 already does Android-Windows dualbooting, and XDA itself has a thread about dualbooting the HD2 with WM and Android.
If the OP's asking about Android and iOS specifically though, then probably the answer might be no. If someone could do it though, it might actually be a good thing for the Android crowd: shows the Apple fans that choice and customizability is a good thing.
I was thinking the other day that my Tab would be pretty cool if running Windows Thin PC, saw info and a download on the MS site the other day while working on my wifes netbook.
I dont see a problem with either a full working version of Ubuntu or Windows on the GT and Android, or just the full OS. Seems reasonable to put an OS on what is essentially a tablet PC.
I would think its just a matter of a bios, and loading the OS, but I am not a programmer, so I could very well be wrong.
But....I'd load Windows or Ubuntu on the tab if it gave me the 3G ability as well as all other functions.

IIRC I think there's already a thread on XDA on bringing Ubuntu to the Tab. With Windows it might be trickier. The ViewSonic ViewPad 10 runs on Intel Atom, which is already used by other netbooks that run Windows. Windows might not be designed to run on ARM however, which is used on many Android devices. Processor design differences may be the key factor in porting the OS. (I've gotten Gingerbread to run on my Atom netbook though, alas I still couldn't get the touch screen to work)
Would be the first to jump onto dualbooting Android with Windows if it ever comes to fruition though; I'm a Windows developer and it'll be cool if I could write small apps and use them on my Tab.

You can't run Windows because there is currently no ARM version, though MS say that they will support ARM in Windows 8, but by the time this sees the light of day, the Tab will be obsolete.
There is a thread in the dev forum about porting Ubuntu to the Tab, but I believe it is still a long way from fully functional.
Regards,
Dave
I already posted the question about fully functions in ubuntu for the tab. Specially the phone and sms functions but they denied it. I keep following and hope some day it will work

Thanks for the responses guys. Let's hope one day it would be possible!

since both iOS and Android are ARM based in most cases, you could probably make it happen.
Both Android and iOS are Unix based, so we could achieve this.
Also
It could be easier to port iOS than Honeycomb because iOS source code is avalaible for public, for improvements and bug seeking.
So, Yes, we could have dual OS on the tab, it could be windows, Ubuntu, Maemo, iOS and even Symbian

iOS source code is most certainly not available!

Got this idea tonight , I was thinking about this and im sure that this as been done before , is there anyways to install windows phone on an android device such as Samsung Galaxy s. Also are there some restrictions that could make this not able to do so.
If someone knows any thread or tuts this would be apreciated.
Thanks guys
windows
till now.........we cant flash windows7 os on Samsung galaxys............why u want to switch over android........which is best os in the world.
windows for smartphone came and almost gone, nobody even noticed. Android is amazing and best.

Because windows isn't open source, like android, I think that it impossible to port it to other devices.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Not impossible, it's been ported to HD2. And other phones I believe but i know for sure Windows 7 was not meant to be on HD2
I hate windows phone os
I don't think he was asking or opinions of the OS. I think he was inquiring to see if it was possible. I to would like to try this to see or myself and not take others word for it. I will search for a solution and update this thread with what I find.
Edit: It seems that it is not possible currently. However, there are developers that are working on a solution to that problem The main problem is the hardware that was not intended for Windows that is equipped to run Android OS. Hopefully there is spark at some point. There is a lot of talk though that Microsoft is trying to bully their way into having smartphone manufacturers load thee OS and allowing the consumer to be ale to dual boot. That article can be see over at many tech blogs including Znet.
Till now, there is not any known method to do this. Android OS is the best OS in the world. Almost every application is available for android. Also it is most customisable. I would recommend you to stay with Android and install WP launchers to get windows phone like stuff/looks
It is interesting which ideas we`ve got :good:
In my opinion:
Microsoft is something for my PC @home, and Android have to run on my device ...
One of my friends have one nokia with WP7 ,looks nice and works good ,he says - but for me nothing gets about Android , but it is only my opinion :angel:
To ask the thread:
I have never heard of any way to flash WP 7/8 on Android devices ...
Only device that got WP7 and did not run it natively were the Toshiba TG01 and the legendary HD2
So sorry, not happening as it's closed source
if its possible on hd2 its possible on devices using same hardware as of windows phone trying to develop a boot loader which helps wp7 bot on our android , any who one can help us with it ???

´cause lagdroid is only for geeks who got a lot of free time
it is always nice to running multiple OS on one phone,i think we need new bootloader same exactly like cotulla has done for HD2,this sounds good to start request to cotulla,i heard he was working for MAGLDR bootloader in HTC M7,let us see
I just write all my own apps for my WP... Android OS is a little clumsy and I think it's ugly... let me know if anyone finds out how to do this... I'd buy a galaxy in a minute if it weren't for the crappy OS.
