can I get WebOS on Samsung Replenish™

jckatz · 11/03/2011, 10:25 PM

I was in a Sprint store since I have 24 days left on my Pixi contract. And honestly my Pixi is about 2 months past its best used by date.

Of all the android phones the only one I liked was the Samsung Replenish™ (since it had a really QWERTY keyboard and no moving parts).

However the thing I don't like about it is it is running Andriod 2.1 YUCK! So my question is what is the likely hood of me pulling Andriod off it and building WebOS 1.45 onto it.

What skills will be needed... I have some experience in Linux and some internet security friends

thanks

I don't know if this can be done, but I for one, would love to see webOS ported to other devices. A Samsung Galaxy S2 with webOS? ::drool::

You're setting yourself up for failure by getting that phone.

I hate non physical keyboards and I prefer phones without moving parts. This limits me greaty when it comes to phone unless I want to go back to RIM...

Honestly Pixi was the perfect phone for my needs. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I broke two hard cases and if it wasn't for the mute button having a short I would still be 100% happy with it.

Well first off you would need to talk HP/Palm into sending you the source code.

I don't think you understand how crap that phone is... But whatever makes you happy for the moment. You'll be sorry.

That might be the route I go. Wish there was a Sprint webos phone that wasn't two years old and 3 years out of date.
