I have been a Windows developer for the WIndows phone for awhile, but would also love to try out iPhone app development. I don't want to get a Mac, I'd much rather stay in my Windows environment. Is there a legal and worthwhile solution for this?
From what i understand you need osx to dev for ios but they may be a work around that other than running osx in a virtual machine

As the person above said, you need an osx to get the SDK working.

There are ways to get OSX running on a PC. You could optimally dual boot with Windows. Search on hackintosh :beer:

Actually, no you don't need a Mac. You can use Dragonfiresdk for iOS app development on Windows.
I only know XCode for the Mac
But here are Alternatives: http://traqqer.hubpages.com/hub/How-to-Develop-iPhone-Apps-without-using-XCode
As XDA is for Androids and Windows Phone development, moved to Off-topic.

Yes you can, you do everything in Windows and they upload thru Xcode for you just as if you made it on a Mac.

So i decided to load Ubuntu 11.04 onto my old computer, and the screen is messing up. Can't see, and it's odd. The "try ubuntu" option on the live cd I burned did the same thing. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

It looks to me like an issue with the default graphics driver loaded at start-up. There used to be a lot of problems with both Ubuntu and Mint - I can't remember the exact details though.
If you want something that looks like Ubuntu but is better then try LinuxMint
It is based on Ubuntu, but looks better, and the support is second-to-none.
I had almost the opposite problem i guess. I was just trying out ubuntu 12.04 and found it was laggy and annoying probably due to a single core cpu. I had come across linux mint a nd liked the look of it and new it might be easier on processes. It turns out the look of mint is the cinnamon desktop and can be used in ubuntu which i tried.
My problem was when i logged into cinnamon there was no wallpaper, no useable icons visible except power (to logout) when i did manage to open a window or program there was nothing in the window to see except the shadow around that window.
I am a determined noob though- so i dumped ubuntu and loaded a full mint install and ended up in the same spot. grrrr.
it was like when a web page is not quite loaded, you can see where things will or should be but not everything and its not quite useable.
I am a determined noob though impatient.
Ubuntu it is now!
It is a bit snappier after some use - like it had to learn my commonly used programs or something and now likes me more.

I've got an old Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570. It won't start, It goes into Download Mode, Not into CWM Recovery. I don't care about this Phone, and it's in crappy condition. But, It would be amazing to see if someone actually could install another OS on it. I only know a Three alternative Phone OS, which are iOS, Android and Firefox OS. (If you know another one, name it.)
I'm Shure iOS won't run on it, so we can count that one out. I don't want Android on it either, so count that one out too, Which leaves us down to FireFox OS.
So, Whos interested in making this thing work?

I think you can't install another OS, but you can install custom Rom based on it, like iOS rom, windows 8 and others. If you don't want android os, you shouldn't have bought it in the first place
I bought it 2 summers ago, it was my first Android Phone.
I'm a Noob when it comes to ROMs, I usually like what it out-of-the-box.

Just a complete guess, but I would think as long as the hardware supports whatever you're trying to run on it, it will accept any OS. Just like you can install Linux or Mac on an old windows computer, all you really should need is the framework. As far as I know hardware isn't necessarily specific to software. In theory it should be possible. :beer:

4. Windows 95
5. Windows 2000
6. Windows XP SP1 / SP2
Meaning of these color :
- Orchid : Can run without any simulated platform, overclock, and flashing things. That means it's was "firstly there, and always there"
- Dark Green : Need a simulated platform, but no need to overclock and flashing things. That means it's was "secondly there and maybe there"
- Light Green : Need a tougher simulated platform, need a overclock feature + kernel. That means it's was "maybe there, and sometime there"

You can't even think to port Windows on there.... (and leave apart that it would be FUGLY).
WP8 is based on the NT kernel, the same kernel that Windows (the PC version) is using.. and it is totally closedsource.
The previous PocketPC/Windows Mobile/Windows Phone versions were using the Windows CE kernel that was shared-source.
No way. At all.

Perhaps you don't get that the kernel needs to initialize the board and that if you haven't got its source you can't implement your board-specific initialization.
I think Android I such a customizable system so if you want to have the style of windows 8 or ubuntu so get it! For some functions of other systems there are apps or roms which have or add these features (for example ubunto sidebar app) and yes I know that it's not the same like a whole mobile system but it's a little bit more windows or ubuntu for them who wants this
Hey guys, I have a macbook pro that I need to dual boot linux on. I've done most of the steps, I just need to find the linux distro I want. I love the easiness of ubuntu, but the Unity UI is horrendous. Is there a way to remove the Unity UI and replace it with something like GNOME? I love Luninux, but it doesn't seem to install on my computer. I get "Ubi-partman failed due to error code 141". I want a linux distro that competes in aesthetics with Ubuntu and Joli Cloud, but I need the functionality of a computer instead of a netbook. All suggestions are welcome... Thanks!
NOTE: I have looked all around XDA and the internet, but those are mostly the popular ones like Fedora and Ubuntu. I wouldn't mind Ubuntu if there's a way to change it from Unity.

Well, it is reminiscent of windows, but IMO, it's different enough. Also cmason37's suggestion will do the trick.
I don't like mint cause it's just Ubuntu with Unity/Nautilus removed and cinnamon/mate installed. Both cinnamon and mate are in the repository so I can just install those and use mint wallpaper instead of changing distros.

I tried Ubuntu, but it didn't want to play nice with my comcast router. Had to hack some files to get a good Internet connection. Have had zero issues with mint.
Did you try updating? I remember when my wifi switched off and I had to connect to ethernet, edit kernel files (!), turn wifi on, then update. Now my wifi works fine.
I've been using elementary os Luna for a bit. You should check out out.
Hmmm, so I am also experiencing WiFi issues with Ubuntu (I'm running it off a disc before installing.) If I use Linux mint, could I take off cinnamon and replace it with GNOME the same way it would be done in Ubuntu? Sorry, I'm kind of a noob with Linux, but trying to gain some experience.

Yes, you are correct buddy.
Edit: Or install the version that comes with GNOME pre installed.
I have a 2008 MBP that Kubuntu runs flawless on. Run any live distro to check if your hardware works first, then install to disk. That's what I did.
You also might have to install drivers that are non-free (as in speech). You'll have that option once you've installed.

"Owners of unlocked Google Nexus 4 smartphones out there can now get a taste of a new Linux OS for their devices, as a Fedora 19 installer is now available for download for them.
The software enables them to easily install Fedora 19 for ARM on this Google phone, though it should be noted that this is not an official Fedora Linux project.
As phoronix notes, the installer comes from Rob Clark, who has been working on enriching the Freedreno Gallium3D graphics driver, and who used the Qualcomm A320 graphics in Nexus 4 for that.
The Fedora 19 installer that he wrote in the process is now available for download on GitHub as freedreno/nexus4-fedora, but might not receive support moving forth.
For enthusiasts, however, it might prove an interesting software to take for a spin on a Nexus 4, that’s for sure."

This is really interesting. I'm a long term Fedora user, and I've just bought a Nexus 4 with the intent of installing cyanmod on it. But for various reasons I would like to run a full Linux distro.
So my first question is this: Is there a phone app and a sms app available for any Linux distro? The closest thing I could find is gnokii, but it isn't for on the phone its self (at least that is my understanding). Would I have to write the phone app myself?
My second question is: Does it run well? (I mean Fedora on the Nexus 4) Or do need to find that out myself?
Thank you,

From what I gather from reading the README on github. This is NOT a ROM (not even close). This is absolutely not something to use instead of cyanogenmod, stock android, etc. And although I don't know positively (have not googled), I would guess no, there is not a phone or sms app for a desktop that is going to work. Not to mention how many other key components needed to make this a working android substitute.
What it is, is a kernel (a Fedora based kernel instead of an Android kernel). And you don't even flash the kernel... you load it and run it temporarily through adb. And then the installer will download and run an x11 display server (instead of the android surface_flinger server), and a Gnome desktop and other parts of Fedora.
It's not something that's ready for use as a phone OS. Far from it. It is just the beginnings of a start (though mad props are in order).
If you've tried the latest Ubuntu touch preview... and seen all of what's NOT ready in that project... then understand that this Fedora project is not even close to that stage of development yet.
