Yes, I'm gonna port it soon™

Sure. I can port Windows for your phone, too.
But why would you buy an Android device and then try to castrate it by running iOS?

on, MI5/MIUI you can install a theme, from the theme store, that the interface is identical to Ios, but better, it's android! there are hundreds of themes emulating ios, don't complicate yourself!

Ask Apple if they're willing to do that. iOS is a fully closed source system, no one but Apple can port it. Not to mention its code must be tied to its own hardware, hence limiting the possibilites of porting. At most the portability layer won't be as comprehensive as Android which is made with platform agnostic mind.

Put WP7 on this BB and I'd freak out

This is gorgeous. The only problem? It has Blackberry OS all over it stinking it up to high Valhalla. Put WP7 on it and I'd run you all over to get to it.

not bad, it actually looks nice
now it'll take a real test drive to see if it can actually type as fast as the older keyboard design
Why the hell would you want to have WP7 on that? Small screen, physical qwerty to make absolutely no use of your epicly smooth keyboard ... And you can run all over my cat to get to that thing, stupid expensive. lol

LMAO! hahahaha...I have two cats.
Down to one, and it's the adopted one that was beaten and, apparently, talked down to for years. And has developed a puking streak. Actually, don't step on him, apart from the puking he is a sweet guy. lol
I will admit, that is a pretty sexy device ...
Definitely wouldn't make use of the awesome that is wp7
Hahah I wouldnt want my ols bb running wp7

Yeah, both of my girls are special to me. My older one has a puking issue also. I have to keep her one food and never alter it. Any changes and her stomach can't take it. My other one is a female Garfield. She's a garbage disposal. Wherever there is food being eaten, her little eyes will be watching it and she will make sure everyone sees her. She's a little butterball.
Yeah, designed by Porche is definitely a plus.

Very exacting HW requirements, no source code.

Really? Prove it by flashing it yourself and post screenshots of it. As far as i can see there's NO proof of this working. Try to find a YouTube video of this.

Filebrowser question

Guys,
For some purposes here on XDA I always had a file repo on AjaXplorer.
Nowadays it's kinda laggy and buggy, so I need something else.
Do you have any ideas?
I just want a file repo which is directly public available. I've tried:
- Ajaxplorer
- OwnCloud
And this would be great:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But I want an opensource 'and' free one. Any ideas and suggestions?
Maybe one that already has some android source code available for making
an app too!
:good:
There's a bug running around on my screen!!!!!

This might be a dumb question on my part, so forgive me, but is there any reason you wouldn't just use something like Google Drive? I looked up AJAXplorer, so maybe it's just that you want to host it yourself? I didn't delve into it deeply, though, so I could missing the obvious.

Totally correct mate
I host it myself, I've got a huge repo with several own built ROMs, modems, drivers etc.
So it would be nice to have a nice interface. AjaXplorer is giving me headaches.
There it is again!

[Q] VideoCore driver code now open-source ?

Source : http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2221
Good news if I understood right :
Video driver for the Raspberry Pi are now open-source.
Does that mean we could soon have a working Android 4.0/4.1(or any other OS needing Video Acceleration) without hideous lag, for instance.

Yeah I don't think he read the blog post
I don't think createpassword knows what he's talking about This is good news as it has great potential for devs looking to port other operating systems. Now devs won't need to waste time reverse engineering this, they can get right to the good stuff!
As seen on Phoronix:
With the opened up user-space, the kernel driver also stands a chance of being accepted into the mainline Linux kernel tree... The only bit that's not opened up is the microcode/firmware, which still must be loaded at boot, but still that's nothing different than how the AMD Radeon driver functions along with some other GPUs

Thank you for the links. Ok it's not "fully" open source as advertised, but is it usable to build something functional ?
If I understand well, they gave a "how-to" of their black box, not the blue prints.

You're seriously quoting Michael Larabel?
LMFAO!!!!!
And FYI: Larabel posted a retraction: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTIxNDk

Lol yeah I read his retraction and I was hoping to get back to this thread to retract my comment but you beat me to it... is it too late to blame Phoronix? So yeah, I was wrong about that one, big time. But seriously, what do you have against Michael Larabel? I always thought Phoronix to be fairly reliable (though how this played out is making me second guess that). Is there a better source for Linux hardware related news you can recommend? I'd be interested to check it out, you obviously have a better grasp on this than me :laugh:

Adreno (which involves some RE, but is mostly from Radeon documentation since Adreno happens to actually BE a Radeon -- specifically, its a hybrid of R500 and R600).
