Hi all,

I know there is no market access due to Firefox os. However in regards to the soft keys for buttons; what about creating an overlay or something such as the android app "button savior?" Would that be the same as mapping navbar keys?

Just a thought!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
fastboot flash userdata should be the same as doing "format data" under mounts and storage in recovery (note: not wipe data/factory reset, because this skip the /data/media/ part)

so maybe that will be much easy in order to flash this rom..i didn't tried now anyway
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alain57:
yes and no

yes if the imagedata file contains NO data

but if there is data in the imagedata file (what i guess... ) then this is NOT the same

I'm a die hard Android freak, J Bean all the way. But, it is nice to know that soon we will have the power of choice in OSs. Now all I need is for someone to jack an IPhone with some J Bean love and sit back and watch all the Mac Fanatics cry and whine. The only "I's" I need are the ones in the front of my face, so I can watch them try to patent my hairy bum! Bahahahaha

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] curious_yellow_eyes:
Very exciting :D it's nice to be able to choose my distribution for my phone, the same as I do for my Pc.

And doubly exciting to see an OS that I only saw news releases about a few weeks ago already out and running thanks to the intrepid devs at xda.

I may well try this out when it's suitable for using my phone as, well, a phone.

It's NO video review AT ALL !!! The video just shows my Gnex booting B2G and I'm fiddeling arround little bit but as there is back/home button I got stuck in settings ;)

The OS itself looks very interesting !!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nranson:
I didn't see anyone posting this, and by no means am I a developer, but I've been able to map the keys in order to have a "home" button so it's a little bit more useable.

If you unpack the zip file (provided by OP) and then go to system > usr >keylayout > tuna-gpo-keypad.kl, you can remap one of your volume keys to "HOME".

Screenshot -- http://cl.ly/image/0m2U0T2V282C

Save it, re-zip everything, and flash away.

Of course, if this turns your phone into a monstrous brick, that's on you. Just trying to lend a hand in some small way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IcedCube:
Looking forward to Firefox OS on my Galaxy Nexus! Would be a refreshing change from Android.

I may not be able to help much but I'll keep an eye on this. Keep it up devs, if you want me to beta test, I'll be willing to do so!

Finally someone who is trying to port something different then all those Andriod versions whom are in basic all the same.

Good job when it gets a lil more stable ill surely switch.

Now let us pray that more devs follow the example and trully start deving. I love to see Windows 8, WP7.x, Ubuntu (with gui) working on GNEX.

Not to forget about nand disk recovery (fixing bad nandblocks or flagging them and controling them wit diskdefrag).

Dont believe me wrong.. cm/aopk/paranoid/sense porters are true devs to me.

But all those who are trying to publish jet another aosp rom have hardly anything to do with development in my opinion.

Since my switch from HD2 i only see a huge gap in levels of devs... No more opensource driver programming (ics camera driver for hd2/ hardware acceleration etc etc) .. No more programming of truely open and multi OS bootloaders (mglrd) No more different OS (hd2 had win95/mee go/wm6.5/all andriod versions/full Ubuntu desktop install/Windows phone 7)

Well first none gui os is here (Ubuntu shell) and next this rom FireFoxOS.. stil only Linux flavours.

But you guys are doing great work ... No standard aosp or a bad copy of CM/ KANG.

Again i am no use to development but am willing to try in a couple builds time..it looks a little miui-ish with some of the colour layouts and menus not bad i say awesome job op and good luck..

Off-topic - I 100% agree with above poster main thing we need for a nexus is the ability to dual boot roms natively THIS i feel is the most important thing for a nexus device and this would be an epic dev

Anyone know Is it easy to flash back to Android?

I'll give this a try when I get my part and fix my Samsung Vibrant phone.

I heard about this in a seminar back in April in school and it looks like it is improving a lot now.

I don't have a nexus, but I am interested in B2G. will this image flash B2G on any unlocked android phone, or only the galaxy nexus?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jra89027:
big problem

im having a big problem. i flashed the zip file userdata just a few posts above this one. and now i cant fix it. it does not let me flash anything and when i reboot the phone it asks me "type password to decrypt storage", i never encrypted. and when i try to do it via cmd fastboot it says "Failed remote unkown partioning.....nevermind i got it to work =)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naijaguy:
It boots up pretty fast. I could not get wifi to work though. The lack of navigation keys did not help either. But I think this is going to be awesome on the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demoneyes905:
The lack of on-screen button support is because of Mozilla's dev team mostly using the Samsung Galaxy SII as the official dev phone. AFAIK, they do not have any support for this in the source.

It LOOKS like it is in the source but that is because at the moment, the B2G source tree is a hacked together connection of existing android source and the Gecko engine. As such, much of the android source settings like support for on-screen buttons isn't picked up by the Gecko. Build.prop overrides didn't work either.

I have tried several such builds to enable such support myself and I haven't had much success. I didn't look into the Gecko section of the source much but the answer has to lie there.

P.S

Don't expect Windows 8 to be ported to android phones. There are two major problems. Win 8 requires a Windows bootloader. HTC HD2 was originally a Windows Mobile phone with a windows bootloader hence why it boots so many OSes. The android bootloader wasn't made to boot multiple OSes. Unless someone redesigns it, we are SOL. The second problem is that Win 8 ARM versions will have checks in the boot process to make sure that they have a specific signed key in the bootloader given by vendors of Microsoft. Our bootloaders will have no such key and there isn't a way to change it since Win 8 is closed source.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Menelkir:
This can be bypassed if someone hack the win8 in some way to bypass this type of protection (but I still believe we'll never have a good port, since we don't have any source of win8, and so it'll be a pain to write new drivers for an unsupported platform in this way), we already see this happening a lot of times before, but I think this can broke Microsoft EULA, like the Apple license is against running Apple OS in different hardware than Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demoneyes905:
I think he meant what OS was B2G originally tested and developed on, not what can it be built on now to which the answer is Samsung Galaxy SII.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

I sincerely hope they find a way around it but secure boot is a very solid technology and is not so easy to bypass. If they find the utility that Microsoft used to generate the keys and create our own, then its possible but this would be using Microsoft's tools without permission and therefore illegal. Fingers crossed nonetheless :D

WHen i flash this, is it sure to go back to an other ROM? So not that it blockades fast boat or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
I'm a little confused about the UI included in this OS. The current version of the OS seems to look like this (https://developer.mozilla.org/@api/deki/files/6276/=screenshot.png?size=webview), but there are many images and videos of it featuring this user interface (http://cdn.pocket-lint.com/images/GHWy/firefox-os-better-than-android-0.jpg?20120706-180820). Is the 2nd image from an earlier version of the OS that has since been scrapped, or is it something else entirely?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ancdix:
I think the second image is an app within B2G ... but I'm not sure...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
According to this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHKNt0n6whw), it's their HTML5 launcher. Perhaps they decided to go with a more traditional one? If so, shame... The old one was pretty unique looking with a nice notification bar at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
Yeah, I quite liked the old one.

Oh well. Hopefully we'll be able to use custom launchers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] violetv6:
Hmm, would it be safe to assume that it wouldn't be terribly difficult to just port the launcher app from the older builds into the newer one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jetrii:
Actually did a bit of research, and although I'm still not sure why some builds of B2G use tiles while others use icons, the tile launcher can be seen in their GAIA mockups. Either way, the entire thing is written using HTML5/CSS with Javascript. Tweaking it to your liking should be insanely easy.

I think the stock FFOS uses the traditional icon launcher but GAIA FFOS has the tile interface launcher (think skin-- like sense or touchwiz for android) that's my guess. I much prefer the tiled look personally

Hello everyone, I'm not experienced in hacking or rooting android devices so my question could sound noob, but is it possible to just reinstall android system on mobile phones? My friend has a problem with Motorola ATRIX MB860, softver is going crazy, blocking, can't unlock screen for several minutes, can't start the system after removing battery etc etc etc. He tried getting it back to factory settings but didn't help, so he asked me for help and I'm asking you.

Modded. Running WDS's CM10 preview 3, whatever the default kernel is for that build. Using the landscape modded hulu plus, and except for the screen draws on the show tiles being all screwy, it does work.

I'm trying to track someone down who knows how to mod the original tablet APK, as I have it and would like to have it modded to work with JB. I suspect it's a simple modification to the manifest xml file, as it currently is written to support up to SDK 15, and JB is 16.

Problem is, I have had ZERO luck in using the apktool or the apk multi-tool to hack it myself. I guess I'm not quite good enough yet; I am, however, learning. :)
