OS X on Touchpad - TouchPad General

Not sure where to put this. Didn't want to drop it in the wrong section and upset someone...
Does anybody else think that OS X would look nice on this (if it's possible)?
Any developers currently entertaining the though?
That is all.
You may carry on.
Thanks!

Oh god help us
Touchpad community its very small there is no developer who can port os like that

Can't you guys run a nice looking version of linux? Have a great day....

OS X is not made for ARM processors unless you count iOS which is completely different. You can find ARM versions of Linux that will run on the Touchpad.

Ok.
Thank you.
May close this.

I don't think porting OS X would be worth the trouble though, Android does it good. So do CM9.

hey man stop drinking... that **** powerfull xD
no its not possible to run ios on android phones.
you should look for MIUI roms. they are iphone like.
and if you want ios you should look for an Iphone not android powered phone
i think about the question : when you want iOS buy an Iphone
So... if I understand, you want an android to run an emulator to run android? No. Perhaps I don't understand.

But iOS is running on HTC Magic but u sad this is not possible on adroid phones
Im not an expert , but android is an open source where developers can see the codes & modify it the way they want ... and for sure they can modify it to work on an Iphone or Ipod hardware
on the other hand, IOS is closed source ( with zillion lock!)
so it's almost impossible to make it running on other devices,,, and if it does it will be only 20% functional
short story long,,, users who switched to android are fed up because of IOS and it's lack of any customization whatsoever !! ALL Iphones have the same look ! it's like all Iphone users are wearing blue jeans and black shirt !!!
so I dont think there are a lot of android users willing to give away the freedom of the android & use IOS !!
Without getting into a debate over iOS vs Android, it isn't possible to run iOS on the Mini Pro as it would require having an unlocked bootloader (which we do not have)

even if you have an iphone you would be unable to port it. its like writing something from scratch for the mini pro.
by the way stupid question.

Just I think it's interesting...
Anyway it's easier to port MIUI (and with easier I mean, less hard)
1. we need a unlocked bootloader.
2. need to write alot of code from scratch.
3. iOS sucks.
I could imagine someone wanting a linux distro... but iOS... seriously...

@OP: Keep dreaming, maybe one day you'll get it (in your dreams). Whats the point of running iOS on our MP anyway, even if someone managed to port it it would be laggy as hell.
BTW: iOS walled garden fail.

Windows 8

So guys i belive you all have heard about new windows 8 for PC but i heard that Microsoft will release an ARM version for smartphone devices and tablets, i think that we have the chance since thay say taha windows mobile phones that where latest in the winmo series would be suitablle to run windows 8. Any comment on this, true, false, posssible, or not?
time will tell nikola, i did hear that windows 8 will be alot easier to port than wp7, but, like i say time will tell
yea shure, time does everything, i think that win 8 would be portable to any device since there are some guys on sgs2 forum telling the same thing about porting it.
Hi there, you mean that there are guys with sgs2 trying to port it on Win 8? :-o now that's interesting
yea, there is a guy that have windows me on sgs2 so he think it will be peace of cake to make sgs2 run win 8. But a lot of people are like: we have android that is better. I say no. Win8 or wp7 are the simpliest imagined os's, like iOS. Android is candy eye, that is the way and have most powerfull machines runing it. So it is my opinion just.

False IMO. Why would Microsoft want to do that? If anything, they would be loosing profits ,as no one would buy their new hardware with the native OS.
Also this forum is empty.... There are no current devs anymore. Sorry to say,but I doubt anything more for the tg01.
What happened to Nokser's promise ?
IMO, i think Android is by far, the Best OS ever! So much it can do! Windows Mobile was great and taught me about roms etc... I would like to thank all the devs who made it a worthwhile expierence here!
But things have changed , and I'm really glad I made the switch to Android .

Idk ms says that the ARM version of win 8 will be most suitable for windows mobile devices and tablets! Thats the official, and about win8 ptoject for sgs2 it is unofficial, like most stuff here...

True, you got a point, but tell me, who is going to port win8 for us?
There are no devs here anymore.
To port an OS requires many devs.
Android is the easiest OS to port (due to open source nature )
Yet we don't have a functional full working port.
Wp7 project was complete rubbish by Nokser. He called for donations, promised a release, yet failed to deliver.
He took the money and left.
IMO, I think your best bet is to stick with the sgs2. The forums are like 100 Times bigger than here, so there will be much more dev progress. Soon there may ba another OS port for us there, and we can choose to switch platform. Also the hardware of the sgs is far superior to run the New OS requirements .
Do you not prefer capacitive touch lol?

hehehe i am doing a lot on my sgs2 i am trying to destroy it xD. But tg01 is for extreme experiments, i allmost got wp7 working by help of a friend from MS but no use... Sgs2 will be my toy when i sell tg01 and buy new phone.

Hi Nikola why you want to sell it?
I just buy a "new" TG01 and i can tell you that the price for such a piece is very good and that there are PNA's in the market that are a lot more slower and much more expensive.
So i think TG will never become "A piece of junk"!
You will always have a god device for test, navigation...! Men's stuff!

I think that if you will ask an Android - hard core fan he will also say that Android is the best option!
True is that if you feel fine with a SO then you must stay with it!
I personaly like Android because is easy to use (I speak as a low end user) and have good games. But i like WM 6 because is so versatile! You could install on the same SO more skins and is very easy to set it.
I didn't use WP7 yet ! (but i think is similar with Android - user frendly)
And by the way is wrong to compare the resistive touch screen(like TG01) with capacitive touch screen (like Omnia 7). The capacitive touch screen is made for gentle handling!

Request- GN2 dual boot Androis & WP8

I can't figure which area to post this- WP8 or Android since it has to do with both of them..
I figure since WP8 supports multiple cores up to 64 cores, and the Note 2 runs Android already, and they have a Samsung WP8 phone...
Maybe someone could come up with a way to have the Galaxy Note 2 dual boot the stock Android ROM, and WP8.
Is anyone working on something like this? That would be Something Else, because I like to look of Android but I also like the connectivity of WP8 with my W8 PC.
Just a thought...

You probably won't find much here on XDA since WP8 is copyrighted by Microsoft and licensed for the devices it comes stock on. The HD2 was the only device to run both since it came with windows mobile and Android was open source so it Legally could run both.
Though I'm sure it would be awesome to have both on the Note II, and may run on it also, I don't think XDA will allow it here. Sorry.

There could be a secret wp8 hacking coalition and have them congregate on the darknet. Lol. Thank you for the reply!

If you really wanted to find out more info, I'd search for Cotulla and his work, you can also find him on IRC, if it can be done, he'd know how to do it.
WP8 is a closed source like iOS. And it cannot be ported to another device.

The possibilities are endless. If Ubuntu has display managers or flavors, you may expect something like LXDE which is lightweight.
But will Ubuntu develop for your specific device? I cannot speak for them but it is probably unlikely so someone will have to build that Ubuntu Touch OS experience for you.

Project tango k1 tegra

I got a Project Tango tablet from work, it has k1 tegra chipset and it is stuck on original firmware, which is android 4.4.4 and doesnt performs very well on normal tasks as far as it is very powerfull hardware. Any chance I can upgrade it with custom firmware? Maybe shield tablet which has similar hardware without the special sensors?
Last time I had the tango (back in July 2016) there were no custom firmware/rom for it. I would check out the Tango Devs group on G+ to see if anyone has created an update for it.
Any news about this? Any help would be much appreciated.

First off you are going to need root the device. Then a custom recovery. Then you can think of customs ROMS if you can work out the hardware and the appropriate drivers.
Just because it has the same processor as the Shield does not mean that all the other hardware is the same.

Thanks, the process is crystal clear, I just wanted to know if anybody already advanced anything in this device, but it feels as there is no progress at all, so It will be worth to sell this nearly new tablet and buy another device with more community working with it. A shame, with 128Gb emmc, 4Gb RAM and a powerfull processor...
It would be great if we could get any assistance from Google on this, I highly am doubtful they will release kernels but it is worth trying to petition them to release them, or anything of value towards this, to the community. The hardware is excellent on the tango Dev tablet, but at this point the software is absimal, and, as is, barely functions. I find most software cannot run and constant glitches make using it worse than a contemporary generic device despite an excellent touchscreen and the tegra processor.
I have rooted my Tango tablet, but what hopes do we have of a community rom running any newer version of Android? (5.1+) The shield tablet has similar hardware and could maybe be used as a base to develop from, as the basic kernel will be similar. anyone determine what wifi/Bluetooth hardware is on board the tango?
Come on Google, help us get full functionality and release the kernels!
Is there any one behind this project?

if you want the development of the kernel at least started, make the kernel start logs. use the program syslog from Google Play for example.
I completely forgot that I found and downloaded the source code of the kernel on this tablet. The kernel is there version 3.10.24. With a strong desire, it could easily be adapted to the modern kernel 3.10.96.
I have the possibility of getting this tablet sub $100 and would be extremely interested if a newer Android could be loaded here. Or even maybe something like UBports (formerly Ubuntu Touch)

Anonikat I looked at that too. How great would that be? A 7.0 N even if I'd loose some Tango functionality. I'd just like it as a regular tablet, personally.

Closest I've seen so far that seems functional for the most part is LineageOS 15.1 (Android 8.1) that's listed as an unofficial release in this forum.
