Brainstorm: Porting maemo to other devices instead
 

How about Porting maemo to other devices instead...
devices like Nexus Prime & Galaxy Note... it would be really great coz it would allow employing both maemo & these devices to different level..

P.s - its ok if we cant get all the things working... just maemo with microB & Easy debian & cutetube(if possible) would be enough... every other perk form maemo would be a bonus.. :)

no keyboard no sale, and there are a few closed things, your better off trying to port meego which am sure someone has already done to the nexus, although very slowly and then whack on cordia

Thanks for your Guidance...

Its been tried and failed.

I tried to 2 years ago with the Mer Project and a HTC Touch Pro.

Actually, I would steer you to Mer. Mer just got rebooted a month or so ago as the future of community-driven MeeGo Core. The Cordia UI is based on Mer. The KDE folks' Plasma Active user interface may run off Mer. I know Mer has had a disappointing history with its past incarnations, but it seems to have a burst of momentum now and the promise of taking the best of what came from MeeGo and running with it in a fully open, community-driven way.

If nothing else, consider talking to Stskeeps about your plans, and he can tell you what pain & suffering lies on a path like this. :)

I've had a Maemo chroot running on a Galaxy S2 (any Droid device will work) but I could not get it to be fully functional.

It wouldn't install any applications (HAM) and I have no drivers for the hardware.

I tried to set up a VNC server/client but yeah... No video drivers and whatnot.


Also... Could be illegal.

I seem to remeber Qole making a comment like "if android would run xserver I'd be over it like peanut butter" - or similar. Not sure how his progress compares with yours. Might be easier to take device with drivers installed, see how they'd link into Mer then slap hildon on top. Good luck - we all look forward to hearing how you get on...

Funny you should mention that, over at another place he's threatening to build a maemo chroot for webos :-)

That photo of the Note just proves how dumb Nokia was to dump Maemo 5 and focus on a completely new UI. Even though, Harmattan is close to perfection when it comes to simplicity, Nokia screwed up of not pumping out competitive devices running M5. There would not have been any WP7 deal now, or any WP7 device if M5 reached mass market. I guess a MS deal was a long time in the making.
