This is great news! Maybe we could finally see the os ported to Android after all. In the mean time a webOS developer has already installed it on his EVO 3D. I'd love to see this project take off in the Android community its a long time coming....

This is just what WebOS needed, its a great operating system just didn't have any good devices. Hope to see it on the mopho.

I'm glad it's open source, I own a touchpad and I've still yet to put Android on it. I love Android but I find WebOS to be a pretty great OS as well, the card multi-tasking is just unparalleled on any other OS.
I'm hoping we get to see custom WebOS roms for both WebOS devices and Android devices, how awesome would that be?
Don't see the point in using webOS now. It has very little app support (nothing near android) and as far as I know, everything WebOS can do, Android can do too.
Its an abandoned OS from a practically non-existent company (Palm, though HP is around, they aren't exactly bolstering it in the same that Apple does for iOS, Google does for Android and Microsoft for WP7).
I see this development as mainly a curiosity. I can see the touchpad crowd interested, but I'd much rather use Android on my Android devices (e.g. Photon).

sides who knows perhaps one day there will be a merging of webos features with android features
imagine the good parts of webos being compiled into android. CM9 w/ card support. its like even wrapped in ice cream sandwhiches plated on webos cards!
If I can get my card multitasking back, I may just cry tears of joy.

WebOS card multitasking is better than any OS on the market (I've owned every mobile OS out there). Imagine the CM team or even Google taking bits and pieces from webos and cramming them in Android.

I don't own a photon," kennypowders" or else I'd make sure you'd be graced with my presence on a daily basis.
It is what they've done.
More polished, apps button allows you to select which app quicker and more like webos and also the ability to swipe away apps to close them via that same menu.
Also, the removal of hardware buttons.
I have ICS running on the EVO, and while multitasking is certainly improved and in some ways similar to WebOS, the multitasking in WebOS is still superior.
However, Android does other things better than WebOS, and WebOS does some things better than Android. I enjoy both.
A merging of certain feature sets due to the open-source code would be pretty great.

I've just been watching loads of YouTube videos about people trying to install android on iPhones. My question is why?? Android is open source and iOS is closed source.

i was thinking about this the other day, isn't it taking alot longer than usual, compared to let's say a HD2? That initial hype of porting Android on to the touchpad seems to have died down.
not saying this in an impatient way or demoralizing developers and their hard work, cuz they are doing one heck of a job to get peoplewhat they want most of all on their fondle slab
....is it because not many developers are interested in the touchpad?...couldn't get hold if one?
That said HP's new move of selling touchpads only to developers might work in favour of getting some momentum to port Android on it

I'd be really interested in seeing a Sense ROM ported from the Puccini/Jetstream. A lot of the hardware is apparently quite similar, and it'd probably make for a better tablet-ified experience while we wait for ICS.
Although, with ICS so close, it's probably not worth it.

ICS source comes out in a couple weeks.
It would be pointless to spend weeks working on a port of something, if the new version comes out shortly.
Devs are just waiting for ICS source to drop.
Plus the HD2 was a totally different scenario.
It was made by one of the largest android phone makers, and the hardware in the phone was similar to its android counterparts.

I'm happy with what has been posted so far from CM. I haven't had a lot of issues with what has been released. I guess I have too much going on to be concerned with changes to the touchpad. I can patiently wait for ICS to be released. I'd have to imagine it will be easier to work with since it ICS is designed with tablets in mind.

ICS is designed as a hybrid with phones and tablets in mind. If you really just want tablet, then use the Honeycomb source which has also just been released.

Porting anything from the SDK has always been horrible, its not that easy and even if it were that isn't to say it'll be any good.
Remember those SDK ports of Honeycomb...horrendous. There's a reason nobody bothered with an SDK port of ICS for the Touchpad...there terrible.
I'm fine with just waiting until source code is ready. Unlike the switch from GB to ICS on a tablet which was huge, JB isn't really groundbreaking. It has some nice new features but after playing around in the SDK for a while I didn't really see anything that I couldn't wait a few months for.

I understand it perfectly......it is a small step yes, but in the grand scheme of things when you get an SDK port, when has it always worked perfectly?? If we're testing proof of concept here i can understand but you people want jelly bean to use straight away and to tinker with it. Devs I think have lives and if someone wanted to do it, they would've done it by now cuz its already being booted (albeit black screen) on the one x. Instead of the frustration of porting something using SDK they'd rather wait for source, because then people will start complaining that "this doesn't work, that doesn't work" so on and so forth

while the current tablet ui layout is mostly functional, its not very pretty and a bit disjointed when coming from a phone version of android. it also doesnt allow manufacturers to put physical buttons on a tablet without them being redundant, and is called fragmented when compared to the ios on the iphone to ipad. it wouldnt surprise me if they went with this design as their new tablet layout. and it probably wouldnt be as bad as you think. with future cm9 or aokp customizations, youll probably be able to adjust the positions of the nav bar however you want.

I've long thought that the tablet UI for large tablets makes a lot of sense as if straddles the ground between desktop and phone quite nicely. Google aren't making the Nexus 7 UI default for these tablets either, if you emulate a touchpad withe the sdk then you get the UI we have now. On my small A100 the layout is pretty poor, and of course the resolution isn't all that great either but it's so crowded. The Nexus 7 UI works out nicely for smaller screens I think

Well what are you looking for? We do have a huge selection of Roms to choose from. But most of our users here want full functionality with 3D and wimax which are proprietary to HTC and not open sourced so it hinders Rom development such as Sense 4 ports and others. Correct me if Im wrong but the HD2 stock comes as winmo right? The fact to get Android on it and full functionality is a accomplishment hard to beat.

Oh it already can run them. Just need linux installer from play store and get myself set up and launch.

I wouldnt count on endless development here but its still an active device with plenty of devs behind it. Know ill be around for awhile also and I just build my own roms to use.
I think it boils down to whether or not we will still have as many active devs as we do in the future. We have wimax, and I'm sure 3d is soon to follow. That being said, if the framework keeps changing in-between aosp versions(gb>ics) then these will have to be rewritten all over again. And I think that will push people to other phones. I plan on having my 3D for some time, and I'm learning to build my own roms and make modifications that I like, so you never know what will happen. I don't see why this phone can't continue for some time, and I for one would love to see it happen. Who knows...

Hi gang.
Here is an idea brewing in my head. I know it will spin your head. I am embarking on a mission to bring AOSP to this forsaken land... Fair warning. As you see, there is no "recognized developer" tag underneath my name and for a good reason, I am not one! An average newb here as far as AOSP deving is concerned. I do know the very basics, I did build a couple AOSP builds for the Dinc2 and Transformer prime, but that was trivial as those devices were already supported. This device is not. So, I'll need to figure out how to first setup the environment for this and then learn to make a kernel from the source HTC has (if they released it that is).
So, anyone here who can point me to the right direction to kick this off!?
This thread is intended to be a platform for all those interested in helping bring AOSP to our device. Any and all helpful suggestions in this regard will be appreciated!
Hell yeah! I'm pretty sure if we all pull together we can get something cooking. I was wondering though obviously we aren't on jelly bean. Would it be easier to build an ics cm9 and then add select features like the lock screen, camera, animations etc?

Dunno. I was actually thinking if it is better to build Jellybean 4.1 rather than the latest and greatest 4.2.1. But if there aren't significant changes, may be we can pull off a 4.2 build. I just want to first learn to compile AOSP so that it even boots. I believe I need to mod files to build it for our environment... I wonder where I can learn this stuff..
Nits, Andy, help please!
My new laptop is running Windows 8 and I believe it will be a PITA to get Linux running natively on that due to the UEFI fiasco... I wonder if VM linux will be as fast as native... If not, I'll use my current machine to build and use the new one to due my regular stuff...

Dunno. I was actually thinking if it is better to build Jellybean 4.1 rather than the latest and greatest 4.2.1. But if there aren't significant changes, may be we can pull off a 4.2 build.

I don't know as there are significant changes but most of the changes are with the lock screen and launcher.

My new laptop has just arrived. I wanna ask, will building android be significantly hampered on a virtual machine instead of natively? This new machine comes with windows 8 and potentially will be a pain to load Linux on it. Plus this laptop is meant for someone else and I dont think they will be pleased with Linux on their PC...

OMG! First build in progress. The damn thing is ACTUALLY building, I think! But still, if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath. 99.9% sure the end result will most likely not boot!
EDIT: Of course, all that I said before is of any value only if this thing finishes compiling without errors. And I already had a few errors (which I was able to fix). God, I hope this thing compiles! :fingers-crossed:
Update: Several compilation errors. Failure guys :/ Will retry tomorrow...
Hey litetaker, just wanna say thanks so much for doing this I really appreciate it and I'm sure many others do too!

The evo 4g lte seems similar in specs to our phone in some regards and it has aosp. Could any of their work help us?
