I don't think so,but I never say never
Even if someone manage to boot it I think it will lag as hell so I don't think there is any good reason for it....just my opinion though

Firefox app are based on HTML5 like most of android apps so why we can't run it right now?
-Is it possible to run Firefox os through an emulator?

Do you know if he have manage to boot it?

I don't know. As I know he working on a rom (maybe on boot to gecko or maybe different rom) a kernel and a loader what can boot kernels from non protected areas (kernel changing without pc).

ok,
seems interesting but im not that optimistic about it(firefox os)...

I'm not interested in this thing, so I'm neutral. As I see feherneoh have more knowledge about android than the most "dev", but I don't know this is enough or not to reach his own goals.
Try to be optimistic, maybe another dev join to this project.

Haha, look what I found, first Firefox os phone is made by ZTE which is using an arm6 processor & 250 MB of ram .
So it's compatible with a6 CPU & maybe our tiny RAM memory

From what I have read it seems that Firefox os will be for low budget devices,but the low budget device before 2(maybe 3) years(x8) and the low budget now are very different...lets wait

[Q] how do I USB teather on 2.3.5

Hi I want to USB teather but it said that the kernel does not support it.
Any ideas or fixes for this. I'm using 2.3.5 and my pc is windows xp. Here's what it said the kernel needs.
This means that the Linux kernel on your device does not have the features (CONFIG_NETFILTER/CONFIG_IP_NF_IPTABLES and/or RNDIS) required for tethering. If you have an ADP G1, please read (or ADP16KernelUpdate if you're using Donut), otherwise you will need to find a firmware/kernel with these features.
lol doesn't mean nothing to me can anyone help.

I know it sounds a bit mad but have you tried Linux installer from the market to see if will install needed drivers and libs? Looking in genral thread about dual boot linux read it quite interesting was half way through his Tut when next day sd went gunna try again? Don't know if it helps?

[devq] dev question

Guys, i am gonna make a ROM
So, i need majority suggestions.
Here is what i suggest. Please counter-suggest me.
AndroidOS v1.6
Features:
iOS Like(Everything. Inclu. Notifications center)
Undervolt to 600MHz
RAM consumption(MAX 100MB, which means you have 378MB Free)
Undefeatable battery life
V6 Supercharged
3G Optimized.
KICKEDASSED Kernel
If you want to know why I choose 1.6, it is due to its lightness.

Donut? You seem to start on the harder side buddy. What I can suggest before making leaps and bounds is create a ROM on sources that are available. I am not here to discourage you, but you should know what you are trying to make. People who started cooking/deving here (including me) learned from simple things first.
My question to you is have you made a bootable personal ROM regardless of version or make? I am no dev, but I can suggest...
1. Start learning to deodex.
2. Start learning creating/cooking your personal ROM. (CM7/V20stock)
3. If you successfully created your own ROM, start installing Linux and learn to compile.
4. Share the ROM and ask for opinion.

Noob!! You can use a virtual box; and doesn't matter if you have windows 8, 7, vista or xp, you can still partition a HD and multiboot. As time goes by, every post you do makes you look even more noob.

Windows can't. Tools can.

I better liked your idea of porting ios.
Im also waiting for new threads where you start porting beos and amiga os and others. I would love to run dungeon master nativly.
Also remember: before you have anything done create new thread in dev section - let the people know that you are not sleeping.
And before starting actual development someone should make cool logo and boot animation - without those things every project will fail.

does google Playstore roll update automatically on Custom ROM?

i read many blogs and tech site's that mentioned about the Google Playstore latest version! 4. and its for android 2.2 and higher so,
as a X8 user i am using Custom ROM and even didn't get to the latest version of 3.xx and jumping to another latest version to 3xx because i doesn't see any improvement and effects.
i also read many blogs that say Playstore install updates automatically in background without any asking of permission and notifications.
i always need to install APK, because i can't confirm that Playstore update automatically in custom ROM specially in X8.
if this question is located in bad section! sorry for that i am unfamiliar with other Sections
if this question is stupid! moderator can close it. i will not cry as i am just clearing my doubt.
Thanks in advance.
The play store does update automatically even on custom Rom..
I can confirm it as it happened with me..

anyway thanks for your valuable information, in my case it didn't happen automatically so i forced my self to
install the latest version.
in my opinion the latest version is not good for me, they waste so many real estate on screen
making icon and title bigger its bit unnatural on a MDPI screen, i don't like it anyway.
Yeah the older one was better though..

[DEV][PORT][4.2.2]Sense 5 from HOX

Hello,as many of you know ,that here was no updates made for a long time ,but i was working on this ROM with the help of Adam77Root ,Ive tried a lot of different combos of the Build, a lot of logging ,testing was done,but now Ive come to point where I ask any developer to help Porting this ROM to our for 4X ,so ive decided to make this an open development and publish current build.
NOTE: THIS FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY,THE ROM IS NOT BOOTING
CURRENT STATE:
This Port is based on CM10.1 stable with no /system/app.It has - repacked kernel, many imported libs and frameworks. The ROM was stuck at bootanimation all the time ,untill the last libhw_legacy.so was added and it got stuck at LG splash .

Since you port from HOX and use Sense 4+, I assume it's the 4.1.1 version. It will be an enormous work.
Does this.boot or i need to test myself?

Small suggestion. EGL libs have no need to change also hw libs (for start) so first to get the rom booting and after that fixes...there is no need to pile all at once!

You could ask dexter_nlb if he has some tipps for you.

contacted him before this ,didnt answer yet ,priority is to get it booted now.
In reply to @Gmobilize for the PM, but others might also be interested:
This and similar ports are not impossible to do. It just needs a lot of work. We are in a good situation, because: 1. We have NEON instruction support (Nowadays almost all new devices have this, but it's a pain if one doesn't.) 2. The HOX is similar both in chipset and in screen size and resolution. 3. We have official JB.
These were the pros, now the cons: HOX JB is based on 4.1.1 and it's slightly different from 4.1.2. Many native libraries should be replaced, which should not cause a problem as the chipset is similar.
I have already worked on a port similar (Stock Samsung JB from Exynos 4 to Tegra 2, without NEON support -> it was really hard), but would not participate in this project right now (I'm intereseted, but have some other work atm.).
Regarding rumours, 4.2.2 with Sense 5 will land in July to the HOX, I would wait for that.
If you need any help with the project, I'm here. Some advices first: Don't flash the whole rom, rather do it one-by-one, i.e. first frameworks, fix the necessary natives, boot into system_server, let SystemUI and core services start app, add providers, add core apps then others. It is a time (and adb ) consuming port, but it has to be this way.
Finally is it booting?I didnt find in any post anything

Jelly Cream by Jishnu Sur ported for Old Boot Loader

Anyone interested in a stock based ROM-Jelly Cream with many ported apps but on the old bootloader.
I have ported this.
Let me know if someone interested in testing this.
I can send the link via PM if you are interested
Thanks
Sorry that I post here but I have a problem/bug in this ROM(newbootloader version). Everytime I receive a text message(sms) I get this error:
" Note: The Application Messaging (process.com.android.mms) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". The good thing is that I receive the message, the bad is that the phone doesn't ring and get always this message. I wiped the cache/sms cache/etc but with the same result.
The second problem is after I flash kowlasky, the kowlasky manager doesn't work properly(the led brightness doesn't work, and the kernel info doesn't appear in phone information, it shows the stock kernel info.
Thanks!

Also good to see that along with the cm penguin team, we have a stock team too at work
ICS feels newer and newer, day after day with your work, never feels like a 2-year old OS, still going strong.

impossible to get it on old bl.
new bl = more space in system folder for applications. almost all ICS based ROMs can not be on old bl because they take too much size. old bl is too smal in size (MB) mate.

This is not true: if you change the old bl system partition to 512MB any rom available on xda for new bl and converted to old bl can be installed.
Usually CM converted roms work, stock ICS or similar roms (like this one) might have problems related to some converted file but not depending to the size.
