One question about HP Web OS...
I saw their tablet on display at Fry's and the web OS looked very interesting.
Is there any way to port this set up to the Gtab, or any other Android device?

technically webOS runs on the linus kernel so It's not impossible, but the porting of all the stuff they put on top of the kernel + drivers + everything else would probably be too taxing and not really worth it, so I would say you will never see a port.
no i don't think that its possible to port it since they are two different operating systems, but maybe someone really really really techy could. Its like Mac and PC you can't install Mac OSX on a PC. <- ignore that i feel really stupid now. lol

You can install OSX on a PC, it's called a hackintosh.

That point doesn't matter too much.
On my HD2 I can run WM6.5, Android, WP7, Ubuntu, and winxp, so the "other operating system" thing doesn't apply.
And you actually CAN install maxOSX on a PC and you can install windows 7 on a Mac.
I think it is technically possible to port WebOS, there's just no developer interest in such a taxing project.

Believe it or not there are actually a lot of people that don't know this but, if you want to get Windows 7 to recognize your device without having to install SDK or manually installing drivers or you feel like you're just stuck. Go to this site, http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php download and install PDAnet and it will fix your drivers issues !! Just wanted to post a topic about this because I've had quite a few people ask me about getting drivers for HTC to work with Windows 7.
i pulled the driver out of the install for htc sync. it is a zip file posted here: http://www.multiupload.com/C2VKYM1RDH
Note: this is a file to extract on your computer in order to point your windows 7 search for drivers to the correct folder. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH IT
it worked for me. if it doesn't work for you, let me know and i will pull it.
You can also download the driver files from htc http://developer.htc.com/ thats what i use

Yea pretty much just used HTC Sync. Never had an issue on either of my Win7 PCs.

Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying I myself am having problems with the drivers. Just have had a lot of people ask me about them over time and figured I would tell them about installing PDAnet as a little workaround.
I don't remember ever doing anything except plugging my Eris in and letting Win7 find drivers.

I'm guessing you're the one who recommended that link in another thread, that I thanked you for. I'm a "latest version hound", so I was very happy to find that file at the bottom of the list at that link that has just the very latest HTC drivers alone, no HTC Sync, and that both the ADB and the RNDIS drivers were updated in October or so. Probably won't make any practical difference, but it's nice to be updated.

I work on people's computers for a living, so I install Windows 7, both 32 and 64-bit, quite a lot (several times a week). I believe you. I just have to say that Windows 7 most definitely (not even with SP1, which I'm using) still doesn't include any of the Android drivers.
I don't recall if Windows/Microsoft Update might have the drivers, so that if you have Windows 7 set to look online for drivers it might've found them there. I'm guessing that might've been how your Windows 7 retrieved the drivers. Either that or you didn't realize or remember that you had already installed HTC Sync or something else which included them.
This isn't a flame or anything, so I hope it doesn't appear to be.
I will add that I avoid drivers coming from Microsoft Update except as a last alternative, since they are normally not up to date, and/or crippled versions of the full driver installations from the original manufacturers.

This is all I did, and I did not have to search online for them, I plug my phone into 3 different Win 7 machines regularly.

Maybe we're talking about two different things. If you're only referring to mounting the phone as a USB storage, then I think that'll work without any special drivers; as far as Windows is concerned, it's just another thumb drive.
It's for using ADB or any Windows software which uses ADB that requires the drivers which are not included in Windows 7. Also for tethering, which is a separate driver than the one for ADB. http://developer.htc.com/ at the bottom of the list has an updated zip with drivers dated from October or November. It includes drivers for both ADB and RDNIS (used for tethering) for Windows XP, Vista, and 7; 32 and 64-bit in the cases of Vista and 7. It doesn't include drivers for 64-bit XP, but that should be so much even more rarer now than it was even when before Vista came out.
No idea what all drivers PDANet includes. As an OEM, I always go straight to the manufacturer for drivers. Not always user friendly for the average user, but if you know how to navigate around the different manufacturer's websites, then you always wind up with the most up to date, bug-free and feature-full driver.
Didn't mean for this post to turn in to "who has the better way to get drivers." This was simply a post for a little tip that a lot of people don't know about. No need for everyone to list where they get drivers from and why it's better than installing PDAnet. No offense to some of you, I know you're just stating your opinion. However, this was just a tip for some users who have tried windows update and htc sync and the htc site itself.

I hope you weren't offended by me, either, and I apologize that I continued to lead the thread off topic since I felt strongly about clearing up what drivers Windows does and doesn't include, since I deal with that every day. For the record, I have no issue at all with recommending anything, including installing anything as relatively innocuous as PDANet, to help people, in order to make things easier for people.

non issue for us, gingerbreak is patched in all of HTC's 2.3.3 and up ROMs
Hello,
Some of you, or many, might have or might have not looked for a Windows Phone 7 Mango ROM for the Samsung Galaxy SII. I know I have.
However, to no avail, Google had failed me in my searches, and I couldn't find any, or maybe I've just failed. Also, I had a look around the forum, and again, there was no such luck. My guess ? Probably because there are none.
If that is the case, and developer working on such a ROM for the Galaxy SII ?Or, even, is there one already that is hiding from me, and from many others for that matter ?
never gonna happen, as its Closed source
Your post does beg a few questions...
Why not just go for a windows phone itself than such a ROM?
i am honestly refraining from saying something rude here...
If you are looking for a look and feel then here's some post on a theme
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1288324
Please bear in mind that smartphones so far are more near to apple desktop/laptops than PC...
they can run OS from only one platform....
Not going to happen unless samsung put out a windows phone with similar hardware to the sgs2, and as wp7 has a very limited hardware spec which doesn't include the soc used in the sgs2 I don't see it happening anytime soon.

I usually express the same when people buy an Apple and would like to install Windows on it. Why not just get a laptop from the beginning ?
Anyhow, that's not the point. I've had my share of Windows phones [mobiles]. I first used a Windows Mobile 6.1 pro on my Samsung Omnia back in 2008. But, I didn't remain loyal to it. I am happy with my Android.
The point, is, or was, such as the HTC HD2, that is shipped with Windows Mobile 6.5, and can run Android, and also Windows Phone 7 [Mago too], thought maybe it could happen with the Galaxy SII.
It is not, however, going for a Windows Phone, but, it'd be nice trying it out without buying one. Not just the look and feel, sir.

And microsoft were testing wp7 on hd2. In sure that's where the first rom came from. And that's why no other phones have had wp7 ports.

And is it possible?
Won't work. Completely different hardware architecture. And as someone remarked in another thread asking this a few weeks back, "Why would you want to ruin a fantastic phone by putting Windoze on it ?".

why does using Ubuntu scare so many people? you can have it on your computer without effecting windows at all.
two options

2. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop
They removed the windows versions for certain reasons. 1 was because people were completely disrespecting them and the hard work they put into achieving this for us. BUT a big reason was that some users have reported bricking their devices using the windows tool! so just remember, they didn't take it down just because wanted to see XDA get flooded with "what happened to the Windows s-off tool" threads, it was for a reason. So why take that risk, just use Ubuntu..

It doesn't scare me at all. It's just the hassle of having to do everything, especially if you prepared yourself with the files. Like how it would take time to transfer them to a USB, install another OS, then load the files on it for another ten minutes. It's time consuming! I hope you understand what I'm saying. As for the reasons why they removed it, I never had a problem with the tool at all, and to the people that dissed them, :flickoff: to them, because I think these guys are cool for contributing their work and putting their time on it

I just ran Ubuntu from a DVD and did the S-Off. You don't have to install it or change your system in anyway. This was the first time I used a non-windows OS and it wasn't that hard. I just used Google to figure out what I was doing because it is very different than windows.
Don't get mad at them. It's for users' own good! They are trying to stop people getting bricked! Ubuntu is nothing to be afraid of either.
