I don't suppose you can get the existing versions for Pre3 and TouchPad released? There are some changes that I would like to be able to make.

Correct. =)

tl; dr: Recompile everything with FP set to hard instead of soft.

softfp was a compromise for a number of years but since we are mostly in the age of Cortex now for mobile/tablet markets, it should be possible to recompile the entire toolchain, kernel and apps for a significant speedup anywhere FP is used: 3D, OpenGL, OpenSSL etc.. However, binary only blobs such as 3D drivers need to be recompiled.

Call it Milamber.js

Points for guessing the reference.

The inverse is more useful.

webOS running with an interface to the Android market and ability to run Android apps. It should not be that hard to get that working if people pitch in to help.

- Dalvik needs to work under webOS which should be a recompile and some changes. There's also Alien.

- Android apps need to have a generic wrapper to put them into webOS cards.

- Some other interface issues to clean up.

So, who wants to help do this?

PS: FWIW, webOS essentially uses an Android kernel already.

megaduck, you can already dive into parts (well the non-compiled bits) by taking the webOS doctor apart (it's just a jar).

The WebOS Internals team is happy to accept any patches which are then made available to users with Preware.

So you don't have to wait to get started and we would love more hackers joining the effort. We are also usually available on #wosi-dev on IRC.

muffle is broken until I have time to make a new patch. Probably not till this weekend.

The Pre actually had decent hardware except for being light on mem. The OMAP chip was particularly overclock friendly and once overclocked along with some additional tweaks was nice and fast.

The problem was the earlier webOS versions had no GPU acceleration at all and ended seeming sluggish sometimes.

webOS 2.1 can be installed on the Pre if you make use of the Meta-Doctor.

Some additional hoops to jump through but it's entirely doable along with overclocking, you end up with a pretty snappy device.
