Is this topic still alive, will someone work to port Webos to Galaxy S i9000.

I have used webos and now I moved to android after my webos died.

I personally perfer webos over android, could someone let me know the status of this topic.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fahady:
Here is a nice article about the subject :

http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-news/hp-webos-open-source-begins-8212-what-next/6588

actually its a smart step from Hp to go Open source better than killing the WebOS , they think if WebOs given the amount to attention as the android having now the WebOS tablet may superpass Android tablet and maybe IOS tablet too !!

let's hope for the best

[HTC Sensation] chrisg1548:
hey guys, is there a way to see what bands my sensation has. i got a unlocked/unbranded one from expansys-usa. My carrier uses 850 and 1900MHz for the 4g network. would like to know if my sensation has those bands.

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] Phantogenic:
Just had a quick look on the HTC product overview website and it says it is definitely quad band - htc.com/nz/smartphones/htc-sensation/#specs

However this is for nz.

Would link it but haven't posted enough.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
You need to find out if it's a Z710e (900Mhz) or the Z710a (850Mhz). I'm afraid I don't know how you tell one from the other. Mine is a Z710e and under the battery it says PG58130, possibly the 850Mhz one is PG58100 but I can't confirm. The box that mine came in also states Z710e and 3G 900/AWS/2100.

The quad band aspect is for Voice and Edge, 2G. The 3G (also branded as 4G) is band specific, e.g. a US based 850Mhz phone would not have 3G in the UK or Europe AKAIK.
[HTC Sensation] brusko1972:
to find out if you have the Z710e or Z710a

goto settings>>About phone>>Phone identity. Look at the model number at the top
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Just had a look and mine is useful in that it says "Sensation" for the model number :-(( I do know it is a Z710e though.
[Android Apps and Games] zeoran:
I've been using GOSMS as my primary messenger for my Android phone for a while now. I also consistently have used the scheduled automatic backup built-in to GOSMS. As of the last couple of updates, I noticed they changed a lot of things, one of which is that I can no longer tell it WHEN I want the automatic update to run. It simply has an on/off switch and a time of daily/weekly/monthly. But I want it to go off at 12pm, not midnight, yet that's what it's defaulted to and I haven't been able to change it.

Does anyone know how to do this now?

Thx.

[Android Apps and Games] FixedTheFernBack:
I cant help you, but i've all but given up on the go dev team. They completely ignore user feedback and feature requests and instead focus on adding bloat into their apps and working on themes instead of actual functionality. Good luck if you ever want to contact them to change anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Does anyone know what format is used to pack the stock system.img and userdata.img images for the Galaxy Nexus? I'm trying to extract the files from these images but not sure how to do so. So far I've tried unyaffs but it's segfaulting on the images, so I suppose these images aren't yaffs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xHausx:
Try ext4 if unyaffs doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Doesn't work, unfortunately...

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ferraritm:
Hi guys, I would like to share my experience on rooting and flashing the custom firmware on my P1000.

Initially, my P1000 was preloaded with froyo 2.2.

I flashed my P1000 to the gingerbread 2.3.3 and subsequently upgraded to v2.3.5.

The major difference between 2.3.3 & 2.3.5 is the lock in screen. 2.3.5 no longer have the fixed slider at the lockin screen, to unlock, just touch anywhere of the screen and you will see 2 circle lines, and then slide out of the 2nd circle will do.

A few days ago, I degraded my P1000 back to 2.3.3 and flashed with Overcome 7 v4.0.0 edition rom.

It is working extremely fine and fast, still monitoring it, but so far face no problem at all.

Thanks guys for the overcome 7 rom. Fantastic.

I am looking ahead at Honeycomb custom rom for P1000.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] MeteoricYCX:
OVERCOME 4.0 is great. But I think CM7 or MIUI are also fast and fine, with more freedom. You should lookong ahead at ICS, personally I think the Honeycomb custom rom is meaningless now.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] mike2nl:
Reports are allways good.....

But you have used the wrong thread group. Please use this thread and report it there.

Because this thread group is only for apps and themes, NOT for roms. Thank you

[Xoom General] virgil1528:
I have the Xoom right now and love it. However, I'm attracted to the size and weight of the XYKeyboard. I want 4.0 as soon as possible and LTE doesn't mean anything to me.

I have the option to switch out my Xoom for the XYKeyboard when it comes out, but don't know if I should. Is there any other tablet coming out that I should maybe be waiting for. No, not an iPad. And I've already heard the battery on the Transformer Prime is crap.

I definitely don't want to get the XY and find out the ICS is going to take longer.

Thoughts?
[Xoom General] sodaboy581:
First I've heard of that. The only thing that came close was one reviewer's website who got a faulty unit... when it was exchanged he got 2+ more hours of battery and lasted a good 11 hours. 11 hours isn't crap to me... not to mention the ability to carry around a spare battery in the dock to give it 18+.
[Xoom General] Dr.Preston:
Xyboard doesn't ship with ICS. No tablet shipping before the new year is. The Xyboard is only a little bit faster than the original Xoom. It's not worth upgrading. If you want a new tablet, get the Transformer Prime. It's a tad bit more expensive but the hardware in it blows the Xyboard out of the way. If that isn't enough to sway you, consider this: Xyboard is the stupidest name for a gadget I have ever heard.

I should also point out that the Xoom will probably get an ICS ROM before the Xyboard gets updated.
[Xoom General] Sandso9:
honestly the xooms specs are fine if i were you'd id avoid spending the money on a whole new tablet and wait at least another year or so. Also quad core? what are you possibly going to be running that needs a quad core lol dual core is fast enough for android
[Xoom General] Arun01:
The XY thingy is a joke & a slap in the face to xoom original owners. I have a Asus transformer prime on pre-order.Motorola has lost my business.
[Xoom General] mgerbasio:
I'm a happy Xoom owner also passing on the xyboard. The tablet just doesn't justify the $800 cost (32gB w/o contract) and although dual core is probably enough for me, that doesn't mean I'm going to pay a premium for it and forget quad core is going to be released soon. No microSD, although not critical, is something I'd expect. This is like a middle of the road tablet with a super premium price. Verizon and Motorola must think there are a lot of people willing to pay to have the embedded LTE modem.

I really don't need a new tablet right now so I can wait. For a new buyer, a Xoom or Transformer is a much better bang for your buck. Samsung and Sony have come out with press releases on their next Andriod tablets to be announced in February and at CES (Jan 10th); that doesn't mean they'll be shipping, but I'm not in a rush to buy.

With Apple, many people just buy out of brand loyalty or wanting an Apple device. Motorola releases this device as if its brand loyalty is as strong as Apple. I like Motorola products but this is just a complete disappointment from the specifications to the price. No wonder they aren't seeding media with demo units for testing/reviews. I haven't seen one in depth review; compare that to the Transformer Prime which is seems everyone has except me.
[Xoom General] baggy247:
I tried the XY a few days ago (Xoom 2 in the UK) and honestly it is barely an upgrade. The Thinness and weight is nice but it actually felt a little slower than my Xoom, though that's probably because I have mine over clocked. Also the Xoom will get ICS first, the XY is not stock Honeycomb, the changes are little but noticeable and in my opinion make it look a little tacky compared with the Xoom.

Also those weird corners I'll admit feel comfortable and more natural in portrait mode but in landscape I didn't really like the feel, the edges felt sharper and unnatural.

If I were you I would either stick with the Xoom or if you really want an upgrade go for the Transformer Prime, that thing is a beast and when you compare the prices there is really no comparison between the two.
[Xoom General] trey.mcd:
From what I've seen, the Xoom has the same processor as the XYboard(I'll link it when I can find it) just overclocked. If the XYboard will cost you nothing, heck ya! Do it! SOmething I have noticed between the newest of moto's products is a delayed time in unlocking a bootloader. So if custom Roms and kernals are your thing, I'd say wait a bit until an unlock is confirmed. Having an unlocked bootloader means that with the great dev here, we'll see ICS on the Xoom before the Xyboard.
[Xoom General] liftman-:
overclock your xoom then wait for a quad core, personally I think ics underlying core won't be to much of a improvement over honeycomb, a few improvements and new theme, but not to much to get overly excited about.

but maybe I am trying to avoid getting let down lol
[Xoom General] brianmoriarty:
ill see what GED tablet comes out after IO at the end of June. My xooms not even a year old yet
[Xoom General] big ach:
The original Xoom is using a Tegra 2 Processor.

The Xyboard is using a Texas Instrument OMAP4 processor.

And I think Motorola WANTS to upgrade the Xyboard first to ICS but it would be a pain, cause Xyboard is running Motorola Blur so they have a lot of editing to do.

Whereas Xoom is straight up original Android with no modifications, so will be easier to slap ICS on there!
[Xoom General] chbennett:
Just wait longer. The xoom is not yet outdated, so the only real difference in the XY would be its profile.

Dispatched at the speed of light from my XOOM
[Xoom General] vamp6x6x6x:
Im thinking hold off for a bit before you buy the XY which is more or less the same as the Xoom.

I say this because I honestly see Xoom getting ICS before XY.
[Xoom General] jaekidd1012:
I'll probably never understand the thought process behind a name like XYBoard as Xoom 2 sounds MUCH better. On that note I'm disappointed with the Xoom 2 from a spec sheet perspective. It doesn't offer much of an incentive to "upgrade" to it from my original Xoom. That being said, the Transformer Prime is a true upgrade based on it having that Tegra 3 processor :). Someone mentioned that a dual-core processor is fine for Android and I agree: it is perfectly fine for Android...for now. A quad-core tablet is more future-proof, IMHO.
[Xoom General] pdagal:
Now, synthetic benchmarks don't mean everything, but it's interesting that the XYBoard 10.1 benchmarks as well as the Transformer Prime in Quadrant, Linpack and Sunspider in our tests.

There's no full blown Motoblur UI on the 10.1 (US shipping model). It's pretty vanilla Android with a handful of Moto and Verizon apps thrown in.

The much improved form factor (let's face it, super-thin and light are popular) is a big mass market improvement over the Xoom. Note, I said mass market, I know some of you guys and gals don't care so much. But it's as thin and light as the iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and they seem to be the sweet spot with consumers. Likewise the Transformer is uber thin too.

The IPS display is a huge improvement. The one thing I truly hated about my Xoom was the washed out LCD vs. the Transformer/Tab 10.1/iPad 2. It's colorful and much brighter.

I did a 22 minute in-depth video review of the XYBoard 10.1 if anyone is interested:

http://www.mobiletechreview.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=41820

(and yes, I didn't pronounce it correctly in the review, it rhymes with "cyborg" ;) )
[Xoom General] sodaboy581:
I noticed your review stated Motorola is owned by Google and referred the Xyboard as a GED, but that's not true. Google hasn't acquired Motorola yet... And I wouldn't count it a GED since it's got the bloatware on it as well. :(
[Xoom General] Dr.Preston:
The Xoom specs are fine, but with an attitude like yours towards newer more powerful stuff will only hold innovation back. Rather than saying "we don't need it" we should be saying "lets find something awesome to do with it!"

When the laser was invented people thought it was useless and that nobody would ever need one.
[Xoom General] pdagal:
My Verizon Xoom had bloatware loaded too (not much since Honeycomb was a day old when the Xoom was released, and these were not apps I minded-- games and Verizon data manager/account manager). All products offered by carriers have some apps added or mods made (look at the VZW Galaxy Nexus with Google NFC removed). But the OS on the XYBoard looks pretty clean to me-- no Motoblur (OK, the browser icon is squared off), no custom settings beyond the dock setting, only the base Honeycomb widgets, no social networking integration typical of Motoblur, and not even a file manager to play with USB files and no NTFS support is added. I don't see much here that will stand in the way of prompt OS updates. The Asus Eee Pad Transformer has more OS customizations, and Asus manages to get OS updates out very quickly.
[Xoom General] mdcykkk9:
Nice review ... from what i understand if you want a biger files than 4gb you will have to format your disk ? what formats android native supports ? most of my usb flash drives are formatted with ext4 ...

Is there any good video player that support mkv 1080 p with this tablet ?
[Xoom General] pdagal:
Since it's a Linux format, I'd guess that ext4 would work (I don't have a drive formatted ext4 to test though). FAT32 works, but that's not much help for very large capacity drives.
[Xoom General] burden010:
It's FAT32 which has the 4GB limit. NTFS and ext don't have this issue. Android supports ext4 natively so no issues there.
[Xoom General] digitalr0gue:
Technically speaking, Google isn't acquiring Motorola, they are acquiring the mobile development branch of Motorola. Huge difference.
[Xoom General] pdagal:
In the video, I said Google was acquiring the division of Moto that makes phones, I did not say they were buying all of Moto.
[Xoom General] tdively1:
I feel like the only one in the forum that opted for the xyboard. So far I have been pretty happy with it . I purchased the Droid Rrazr and took advantage of the special. I've only had it about a week but it has performed very well. I previously had an Elocity A7, rooted and used Dexter's ROM but took it about as far as it would go. I am no " expert ", just a satisfied customer.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I too started out with the sweet little eLocity A7, DexterRom 1.4.2, but for me, the Xoom has been a perfect upgrade. I like to tinker...I'm experimenting with the ICS port now...so for me, a readily rootable device is a requirement. However, if that's not your immediate need, the xyboard sounds good. Enjoy!
[Xoom General] Cubanluke88:
The Xyboard's performance is not in question. I'm sure it performs great. Its terrible name and limited upgrades from the original Xoom are. Once again, Moto rushed a product to the market. On top of that, these sci-fi super duper advertisements need to go. I remember the original xoom's commercial where the user starts his Xoom and suddenly a spaceship forms around him. Cool commercial but....ok what does this thing do?

I would have upgraded my Xoom to a Xoom 2 if the specs were right. But they are lackluster at best.
[Xoom General] Muffycheeks:
I'm with you on this, I bought the Xoom solely for the purpose of "tuning" While roms haven't been abundant as I'd like the Xoom has not disappointed.

Buy what you want and live with it.
[Xoom General] antnyp85:
Glad to hear that you're satisfied so far... I was already told I'm getting a new tablet from my significant other for Christmas :-) , and was told to decide on which tablet I want... It was between this and the ASUS Transformer Prime, but the Prime will most likely not be released/available until after Christmas... This one looks really good too and I like the 4G LTE on it... I just wonder if this one will have a lot of development going on etc. So far no forum on XDA on the Xoom2/XYboard other than threads like this one. I like to root, be able to flash ROMs later on, etc.
[Xoom General] big ach:
I just ordered the xyboard 10.1 with 64GB.... should arrive in 2 days :-D very excited to get my hands on it and snap some pictures for you all

Verizon gave me a $50 discount because I told them I was a first time ever verizon customer!

I'm coming from a rooted Archos 101 Gen 8, so I imagine it will be a big step forward :-D
[Xoom General] LastQuark:
Just want to drop by here to say something about the Xoom.

I am a recipient of 2 Touchpads purchased for $150 each. The first thing that caught my eye is the quality of the screen. The Touchpads are IPS screens with the same pixel density as Ipad 2. I can see large pixels!

The Xoom's screens have fine density and display quality is comparable. Yes, I have seen bad reviews about the Xooms screen. I don't see it. Colors, whiteness, blackness, etc. are not any different from IPS with large pixel density. The Xoom is just oozing quality.

Congrats Xoom owners. It is still perhaps the best tablet available today.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:

And no, coming from stock, the only way to root is to flash a kernel with root injected... or Superoneclick/zurgrush root from a computer. Only after that can you start flashing from your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] virgil1528:
I currently have the EVO 3D and like it a lot. However, I really want to have ICS stock and no longer care about the HTC widgets. I also feel like ICS is optimized for Samsung phones.

With that, should I use my upgrade now for the Epic Touch or is there another phone that I should be waiting for? I know the Touch has only been out for a few months and when I look online, I don't see anything else coming out. If the Verizon Nexus Prime was coming to Sprint in a few months, I would absolutely wait for that.

I just don't want to use my upgrade and regret it later. I feel like phones with buttons are going to be outdated in 6 months and I hate having relics.

Thoughts?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shook187:
I say keep the 3d. You'll have way more rom's to flash and keep you busy till a LTE phone cames around. Not much development for the touch. Things might change once ice cream sandwich drops, but by then LTE will be the phone to get.

We aren't in the dev threads. In fact, this is the Q&A thread... Meant for this kind of conversation. If you don't want to read "ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT THIS", then don't read the thread.

As for the phone, I love my SGSII. However, if you got your hands on an Evo 3D and managed to hold on to your upgrade, I'd wait. Come October we will see the Galaxy SIII. And who knows what we will see between now and then. The PS VITA comes out in Feb with a quad core processor... I can't imagine it will take very long to see phones coming out with similar chipsets.

Plus, it's easy enough to kill Sense if you want to. With a proper root/recovery, you could do anything with that device you so choose. You may have to kill the 3d to do a whole lot with it, but would that honestly be a travesty, if you are considering getting rid of the phone in the first place?

Without knowing what features of a phone are important to you, it is kind of hard to give an intelligent answer. The only thing you mentioned that you want is ICS and this phone doesn't have it.

What matters more to you; screen size, screen quality, build quality, radio strength, devlopment community, etc. Than maybe someone can give you a meaningful answer.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Thank Me Later:
Super AMOLED Plus is reason enough to get the Epic 4G Touch! The screen is beautiful and untouchable. Seriously it's freaking beautiful!! Do you plan on rooting your 3D? I heard there's more roms and development for that phone over the Epic Touch. All I know is that there will be better phones probably by Summer you'll start hearing real stuff about the Galaxy S3. Phones are just getting better and better. I know there will be phones are next year that will blow my phone out the water but I'm happy with what I have until I can upgrade. The Epic 4G Touch is truly a great phone and will totally satisfy your needs (most likely). It also depends on how you like to use your phone. If you depend on having a strong signal, go with the Motorola Photon. My girl has that phone and she gets signal in spots where Verizon phones get dropped calls and signal. If your into multimedia and watching stuff, the Epic Touch is awesome for that.
