[Q] WebOS on the Galaxy S2? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Is it do-able? I know that things like the GNex, and an evo have gotten some of the open source versions of it, so why not us? How hard could it be?

Well, it all comes down to the willingness of a developer if he/she wants to port it or not. If you question the availability of porting webos, then you try porting it then.

Another option would be good, but at this point, why? With ics stable and jb stable around the corner, it really doesnt make sense for a dev to port it. Webos lacks alot compared to android.

The developers always love challenges. They might port it if it is interesting enough. I think the matter is whether we have the good enough developers, who use S2.

I think our developers are good enough to do it its just we don't have a lot of them compared to other phones. The more there are the better the odds are of something like that happening.. We are still better off than other phone models!

This galaxy is probably the least popular of the galaxy s2's so yeah the odds are against us.

We only have few active developers. Some also have left oir community. So, i guess we should enjoy JB instead of dreaming about webOS.

Just for **** and giggles, if you go to the sr forum and flash the aromakang you have an option for sense 4 two and webos. Just a lil FYI. Does not need any rotation fix or anything like that.

I been looking online for a webos launcher or a good theme thats not for cm9. But no luck, also there is a webos theme for gb miui not miuiv4 for some reasons gb miui themes are not compatible with miui v4. sure wish there could be a easy way of converting gb themes work on ics miui rom. Seems like Gb was more popular on themes than ics

I've been doing some looking... it honestly doesn't look so difficult.

It would be neat, but the community was already fooled by someone who promised this once already and I would imagine no one will donate for this to happen until after it actually happens.

If you can do it that would be great. I only mentioned the donations because a certain someone asked the community to help buy him an E4GT to bring us sense and it never happened.

The other person said the same thing.You must've ported your build for yourself since you only have a few posts as well as a junior member.Why not share with the rest of the community.I'm not trying to be negative only pointing out the obvious.Good luck with your project.
Well on nexus i just got it to boot....
Then switched to other device so i didnt maintain it

Reading your post about porting it,it sounded as if you had a fully functioning build.Good luck with it,it'll be nice to have more development for this phone...what nexus device was it for,gnex or nexus s?

The fact you just joined the site looks fishy (No offense, I'm just a paranoid person). At least you aren't asking for donations. If you can do it, do it. if you can't, oh well. I will say this though, you have better luck trying to port sense 2.1, 3.x... It has been confirmed that sense 4.x does not play well with samsung devices and many other devices as it is in this current state.
My personal opinion is; It'd be nice to have more options on this device because the reality is, this device is fast, fluid, and has a lot of possibilities! I feel as if I should have gotten a nexus device sometimes but sprint always fails to get the latest nexus devices by months...

We do appreciate the hard work developers contribute to our Hercules community. Other users preference is not a weakness.
I'm up for it. This seems to be the one rom that my phone works the best with and battery life is fantastic. I've tried several ICS roms and while I really like certain things about them, for whatever reason, they don't always play nice on my phone.

I left the SGS4G from T-Mobile and later returned to it on the basis of his development. Team AC!D and Bhundven were about the only thing between keeping that device on a development respirator and the entire lot of them being dumpstered.
Pretty much the only mainline Galaxy device that didn't get CM9 until Q2 2012. What a disaster the firmware was on that thing.
He's #3 on the list of overdue donations I keep.
