Has someone hacked the evo to run WebOS on it ?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
There is nothing that I ever heard of something like this.
I guess if you want the WebOS-experience there is no way around WebOS-Hardware... Which isn't good for now. But soon you will have more to choose from (and I expect also an Evo-like device later this year).
Looks like someone fliped it....

Not to be too bold in my assumptions but once HP get WebOS 3.0 out the door with the Pre3, i would imagine it would just be a case a custom compiled kernel to get WebOS booting on most hardware? of course theres is the issue of button mapping but 3.0 is supposedly scalable to any resolution and that should make the job of porting the OS easy enough, (if not totally illegal, but hey i think we would all look the other way)
Just my thoughts, what do you guys think?

Wont work we were porting webOS to the cdma htc hero because the specs were very much the same but you can not go above the 1.xx webOS version without it being illegal rwhitby from webOS internals shut us down most likly this will be impossible
You're saying it won't work because you where shut down by the dastardly mr Whitby but if say a script could be written to take a firmware image and modify it (Replace the kernel and editing various CSS/XML files for size and so on) like Rod and co did to get WebOS 2.0 on Pre- that would be alright wouldn't it?

Actually it was the moderators of this forum applying the forum rules regarding redistribution of copyright material which shut down that thread.

Yes. If you do things the right way, you can achieve the same result without violating copyright laws. Most people, however, tend to take the illegal easy way.
-- Rod (the dastardly)
Cunning and dastardly, indeed.
Its best to just wait till the launch of webOS 3.0 before making any attempt to port. I wouldn't really want to have to re-size every element just to get it to fit on various devices before working on the (no doubt numerous) bugs that will remain.
Much props to WebOs Internals!

WebOS internals have to be the most impartial professional homebrew force on the planet.
Why is it that no devs will even touch this with a 10 ft pole?

That's possible, it would be pretty hard to get on our evos as I believe the latest WebOS only supports 320x480 ATM. Once 3.0 releases I could see this port coming to light.

怎么可能，硬件支持都不同，肯定没戏，别指望了。。。
I would run this mod in a heartbeat.
Now this would be awesome... running webs on evo hardware!
but there is too much webOS police out here.
without apps webOS is dead though, after few days i will be back to android.
WebOS on a Evo seems like a step backwards for numerous reasons. Ignoring the outdated hardware in the Evo, what fun would the OS be without the gesture area? Gestures are a huge part of what makes WebOS so simple and fun to navigate.
So that's what happened!!!!
Please please please someone do this. I loved the simple multitasking on my pre- but HATED the crappy hardware and glitches. My evo is amazing the way it is but with WebOs on it, it would be perfect.

Anyone know anything about the Meego? Would you be able to flash the htc tp2 and put Meego on it?
Good question! I'd also like to know if there is possibility to port Meego to HTC WM and/or Android devices just by cooking a new ROM - or are there significant h/w issues? Also to know how difficult it is to modify apps to run on Meego that have been written for Android or WMx.
Don't we all wish?
Lol when I saw this thread my heart jumped out my chest. Then reality struck. And reality is, its not ever gonna happen. And if it does, it will be because someone used a lot of stuff from the Android port (Meego, and Android are both base on Linux Mobile Kernel). Anyhow even if you did get it to boot it would be plagued with issues and honestly not ever work the way we all want.
Hardware issues aren't really there, just no drivers available. Hell at this point I would be happy with a touch pro 3 with 1ghz omap/snapdragon and winmo/android either. But no luck for that, and we are even farther from seeing meego coming out of HTC. Here is to hoping the N9 is good and ever sees stateside.. Hope someone proves me wrong!

Oh as for programming... thats where Meego excels. Winmo already has support for Qt 4.6 and that is how I currently develop apps for winmo5.X+. Then when I change my device to meego (target device), recompile, and it is ready not a single line of code changed. But that is more the power of Qt than any significant advantage to winmo. Android support is coming so be ready for a wave of amazing Qt apps. Thank you Trolltech and Nokia. Long Live QT!
Dead thread/project/idea? I'd love to run Meego on Rhodium. There are some Linux games (Cave Story!) I'd like to carry on my phone but I don't want to install Rhobuntu. Meego'd let me run Linux apps and make calls without having to reboot.
Me too! Keep the thread up!

It's based on Linux, so it can be booted using HaRET... People can port Ubuntu, but can't port Meego?

BUMP!
Another Bump!
It hasn't even gotten a successful Official port yet, and you guys are asking for it to be on the Rhodium already? Geeze. The Leo hasn't even got a functional port yet, and they have more devs than we'll ever see here.
The moral of the story is be patient, or please help to contribute. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, it's just that Meego is loosing momentum in an official capacity now with only Intel working on it currently.
bump
Just keeping things alive if I can. I think this would be absolutely great. I will be patient....but man that would be cool. I still have a ways to go on my contract and I really don't feel like investing in another phone atm. I'd rather get a laptop...
I'm all for this as well. So BUMP
Frankly I love my TP2, hopefully HTC will put out a TP3, though it appears the HTC 7 Pro, is the Touch Pro 3.
Yea I know webos is "better" os but has no apps and no onscreen keyboards.
So my question is can it be done, not if or why but can it be installed. Android
already runs on omap and I think the moto droid is simular.
Hm. I seem to be using an on-screen keyboard on a daily basis. And... No apps? Ehm. Well, I think maybe you should just switch to an Android phone and save some time, ours as well
Eventually hackers will become restles and get other platforms booting on the Pre, but for now web OS suffices.
The point would really to be to boot WebOS on other phones, not the other way around!
Oh i have no doubt that that will happen too, but hackers being hackers curiosity will get the better of them,
Mark my words, once HP release their X86 web OS platform you will start seeing it on every device imaginable.

I remember there being a small project on this before, but it didn't go very far. The funny thing is, there was a project to get Android on omap ( https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/omapandroid/ ), but then the Droid with an omap SoC came out.
I would also love to see WebOS 2.0 on non HP/Palm Phones like HTC HD2 or Nokia N900
These phones are very good to port different OS on them.

Well, the WebOS forums will be much more active after today!
Sweet
So that makes webOS another free mobile phone OS for companies to choose, and puts it in much more direct competition with Android (or might in time). I won't be surprised to see a lot of webOS phones in a few months.
now i want the guys at xda to do some cool **** with webos and i want more activity over here for web os
there will be a lot more activity on the precdntral forums....good news cuz I actually like webos despite the overwhelming-ness of android
Problem is HP aren't manufacturing any more devices. That's the killer...

There's already some really early talks on the direction to take on PreCentral. This is going to be awesome. If my Nexus S ever runs ICS and webOS, I will flip.

Does webOS offer anything we can't get from ICS? If so, would it make sense to create some sort of hybrid of webOS and Android that has the best of both and is able to run apps for both?

Personally i like Webos. But about 70% of others don't. most likely because of it's lack of customization and apps. It would be nice to see the dying OS ported to other devices to give it new life, but don't get your hopes up.
The devs simply don't seem to be too interested in porting Webos to other devices.

I know it is sad for lack of support but Webos fans will support this. A person on one of the Webos forums is trying to wire the HTC Shift to work with the touchpad's charging dock, so there is still hope!
WebOS isn't open source yet, that's why nobody is porting it. -_-
It's not open source YET, but in a few month it will be and I'm hopeful that some devs will port it on other devices then.
The are two things I'm a bit worried about is webOS for other phones. Since I read a blog post which was all about the open source plan of HP I afraid that only the Touchpads 3.x webOS will be open sourced.
The other thing is the maybe missing feature of using gestures on phones. I mean webOS is all about gestures and I love to use my Pre3 with these gestures and the special gesture area, cause it's easy to use and superfast. But when ported on a phone, let's say a Galaxy S2, will there be gestures or does the user have to use the stupid buttons?

My vote is to port it to a device with a massive user base, such as my SGS2, or an HD2. I still play with my Pre- and it sits on my coffee table. After reading The Verge post mortem I understand why it died, but it still is the best UX hands down. Imagine it running on blazing fast hardware, but I wonder how much is lost without a keyboard?
It seems that everyone has move on from webOS within the android community (well, almost everyone). I am one of the die hard fans of the OS and continue to use it daily. Of course, my needs for an OS are different from many , and I come from a solid Linux/Unix background. I have used palm products for years and followed webOS from the beginning. There are times when I come off like a fanboi for webOS but it has seemed to be an elegant solution for true multi tasking from the beginning. I hear most folks here talking of the untimely demise of webOS and cannot help but wonder if they have decided not to follow the development of Open WebOS. The community edition of webOS is due out in Sept and there are a number of major improvements coming with it. There is also the Phoenix project which may be building another tablet running the open source WebOS.
For those who have moved on from webOS and are satisfied with android, I bid you fair well. I will continue to work within the webOS community and look forward to future development. For those who are still on the fence, I would suggest a bit of patience as there are good things in the future of webOS and this fall really isn't that far off. Whichever OS you choose, remember that the touch pad that you have is still one of the few dual boot tablets on the market and (for those who were not early adopters) was purchased for a reduced price that would be hard to match by any other tablet manufacturer. The hardware is still pretty good compaired to most all dual core tablets and is still able to run cutting edge android builds. This alone would be a good argument for sticking with the touch pad but I stick with it for the things it continues to do well within webOS.

I remember when I had my pre you could place your phone in dev mode (root) by a simple dialer code reboot and itd be unlocked then you can install preware and from there install anything you want. I remember patches that added lots more functionality to the OS. Much simpler than android

I'll buy the lack of apps argument, but customization? Kiddin' me? Installing Preware couldn't be any easier if they tried. Only Windows Mobile was easier than webOS.

Ideally webOS that could run Android apps would be great. The UX on webOS is second only to Windows Phone IMO, but webOS needs the app power of Android.
I had a Pre+ for a weekend but after the third time swapping it out because of hardware problems, I gave up on it. The hardware was always the problem. They should have had HTC manufacture it like the Treos.

Exactly, and it uses a Linux kernel just like Android. A good dev should be able to work this as easily as one of the ICS roms.
I love WebOS on my TouchPad, it's a really nicely thought out OS, with an intuitive UI. (Though I dual boot into CM9 most of the time.) I think my only real complaint is the app tray.
What I'd love to see is a way to run Android apps in WebOS. Like BlackBerry did with their Playbook for a while.

My take on this is that since the MT4GS is already a discontinued device, I would rather have the experts that like our phone pay attention to sustaining our support on the Android family of software. On some other devices, you get more developers that can spread the load, but ours is a bit more of a niche device with limited sales, so trying to spread the developer load across multiple OS's is even worse than the spread across sense vs. non-sense builds. There is only a limited amount of interest in developing for a device like ours, and I would rather them focus on a few paths that will result in the the most useful, supported builds. WebOS was a limited OS as it was, so as good as it may have been, it isn't what we will get any (limited) support to develop towards IMHO.
