Hey ya'll do you think its possible to get QNX runnin on the Touchpad? Because I played with one today and Best Buy and the OS felt very interesting and dare I say fun. I liked the fact I could load up Android apps. What would one have to do to get QNX working on the Touchpad. I'd throw in a Texas shot of whiskey to get QNX working.
link please I though QNX were only designers/developers, like they did with android and blackberry playbook.
Unless you mean the blackberry playbook OS which I dont know if its open source and might be warez
Well I was referring to the Playbook OS, but I guess before the BB took it over, it was a unix based OS from what I saw on wikipedia. So, maybe it could be open source. I would think since it can run Android apps it could make a case for it being open source, no? I guess I am wrong?

QNX is the name of the platform that RIM uses for it's Blackberry Playbook tablet. The designers/developers you were referring to is TAT (The Astonishing Tribe)
So I take it the BB QNX OS is not possible to port to the Touchpad, then?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QNX
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry_Tablet_OS
qnx is a proprietary version of unix and as likely to get ported as iOS.
I would have love it as it offers like the best of Android and WebOS.

if <insert OS name> is open source and ARM-compatible, it is possible to port it. just have to find the right developer + motivation to do it... basically somewhat those Android developers are doing: taking an existing source code and try to make it compile
if <insert OS name> is semi-open source and ARM-compatible, then maybe. (eg, Android 3.0 isn't fully open source. but you can take binaries from existing devices and try to make it work. also, eg: WinMo updates ported from devices to other devices
if <insert OS name> isn't open source and isn't ARM-compatible, then NO. (eg, windows 7)
MeeGo should work as it is open source isn't it?

would be awesome if this worked on th touchpad
Meego on the Touchpad would be amazing. Given Samsung's considering merging Tizen (aka Meego) with Bada, and providing direct support to it, porting Meego would make a lot of sense. Are there any developers who'd be interested in something like that?

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to run dual OS on the galaxy S tab? Like Android and Apple !?

Is that a serious question?
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk
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.

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

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

Why would you wanna go to windows 8 with android around ? Android on G-note is much more powerful than with windows.
incase you haven't checked the "apollo" and it's capabilities please do a brief research...
windows phone 8 is on a whole new level of competition here...
considering the release of windows 8 for our computers... and the Microsoft E3 press conference... i doubt that "crappy" tag someone just gave above this comment...
i've been using windows mobile 6, 6.1, 6.5, windows phone 7, mango... and galaxy note is my first android device...
before galaxy note i was using htc hd2 and i still have that device... (but galaxy note is my primary device) so i thought if we can port android on a windows phone why can't we port windows to an android phone?
and for the respected people who are interested in this idea... i think we need another version of MAGLDR (like we had in htc hd2) and maybe we can install the "apollo" on our SD card...
we may have a dual boot device!
if you can find (or develop) the drivers, yes... it can be ported.
and yes, i dare say any winblows product is crap
you may "dare" **** your pants or eat crap sir/madam, nobody cares about that... and if you find this post soooo uninteresting or "crappy" why bother replying nonsense thoughts of your p-brain which (...is actually dehydrated) aren't useful for anyone?!
and thanks for the motivation you just gave me... :]
i posted this question to discuss, maybe help real developers/people not assclowns/disrespectful people who don't even respect the hardworking developers who create these operating systems for us...
Its my humble opinion !!!
I was also a user of Windows and bada OS' . And with android around they are not even in the competition. And this is my own opinion, so i'll move it off.
Android is, indeed, more powerful than Windows. But, different strokes for different folks.
Since we have sources now, I'm pretty sure more developers will come along soon and hopefully, for your sake, a developer that can port Windows 8. The more variety, the better, for us all.

don't hold your breath. those sources are linux based as android is linux based. do you expect devs to develop a winblows OS based on a linux kernel?
maybe.... just maybe.... when the winblows kernel is freely available and somebody is really interested to port or develop the drivers, then maybe you might have a winblows "experience" on your note. and while you're at it, why not wish for iOS port to Note?
keep wishing........

If you want it to come true, put out a bounty.
The title says it all, but is there any ways? I've always been curious, but never got a chance to ask it being we didn't have our own forum.
No real chance of anyone doing this. Two quick reasons.
Windows Phone is closed source and proprietary. No starting point from a code base. Only way is a complete reverse engineering of the OS, and that is unlikely.
Microsoft set minimum hardware standards for both WP7 and WP8. The Exhibit II doesn't meet the bar (might be close for WP7, but not for WP8). I don't think the complete standard is publicly available, but RAM is likely too low for our phone.
There are far more enticing projects out there.

Yeah, but going the other direction WP7 --> Non-Windows device is a much harder task. Likewise for porting IOS --> Non-Apple device.
It's hard enough porting Android where you have 98% of the source tree and must beg, borrow, steal, or invent the lacking drivers.
I suppose anything is possible, given today's crop of energetic kids.

True, Now to ask another question, I'll go make another thread.
Launcher 7 in the market is pretty cool. Checked it out for kicks on an older phone I have. Give you the Live Tiles thing. I've never used a Windows phone so I don't really know how it compares. Looks cool though.

Its not a full fledged Linux OS its Ubuntu's version of a phone OS, basically Ubuntu Android. The docking mentioned in the promo sounds like the Motorola Atrix concept all over. There are developers who have ported Ubuntu to other phones but they pretty much had limited usability for lack of drivers; no wifi, data, etc. This should port over easier as it uses android drivers. Also sounds like all android apps will not work with this?

What's the definition of "full fledged" Linux OS? We're getting close on the kernel. Otherwise install Busybox and you're there, IMO
Exactly like Ubuntu's Desktop the limitations here will be apps.. I prefer my Debian/Ubuntu-based Linux Mint + Cinnamon over all OS's including Chrome & MacOS, but the lack of apps (which isn't changing anytime soon) will be insurmountable

Well, it'll obviously be a lot better when Ubuntu creates it rather than uninvolved developers, of course. Ubuntu is usually not one to disappoint.
Also, I don't really get why they skipped the Nexus 4 and went with the Galaxy Nexus. Maybe it's just cause not enough people own the Nexus 4 yet, and due to supply as well, rather than demand.
I think this should be Android based, like TouchWiz. Then we could just easily flash it like a custom ROM and all our apps would be compatible and available from GPlay.
I think I'll still try this out though, looks promising.
Did I hear that it won't come to phones until 2014?

Purchasable phones is what they meant by that. The firmware images are being released soon, which should find there way to a multitude of devices shortly.
It'll be much better than any other OS as long as it gets support, the desktop version is amazing but lack of developer support means you have to use Windows still. I'm not a fan of stock Android, Google never seem to be able to keep up, Touchwiz is so much better. So I cannot wait to see what Ubuntu will turn out like after a few revisions.

Looks okay, but there's nothing really groundbreaking about it, or anything that's a real advantage over android considering the customisation you can do with android, or am I missing something?
I had a look at a couple of demo videos for it but I can't see any great things about it that would make me want to change OS. I've already got a hidden status bar(expanded desktop), on off toggles for things I like to be able to quickly switch(quick settings), and nice looking customised home screens.
Controlling apps from their multitasking thumbnails was the only real new thing I saw, and about the only use for that is pausing music or skipping tracks (which was obviously the way it was demonstrated in their videos, because it's pretty much the only use for such a feature). With any other app you need to be able to see what you're doing, so even that is a bit pointless.
Oh, and sailfish is a silly name.
