Default WebOS "like" cards for CM9 ?

Not sure if anyone else saw this but I just stumbled across it in the TouchPad forum. Man I'd kill to get WebOS running on my Photon (sorry to those of you Palm Pre haters but I dearly miss quite a few features of my Pre and WebOS).

Makes me wish tbob18's file be made to work on our Photon version of CM9... hint hint to the devs out there!!!

haven't looked inside it yet but I see no reason why it couldn't be fixed up for the Photon.... will look at it though might be something we could mod into the sink

MIUI/ICS for the Photon

I have this mod enabled on my TP, it really makes multi-tasking feel smoother and more natural imo. I love the cards way of multi-tasking.

WebOS was a tremendous firmware. Too bad HP killed it.

Spleef if you could somehow get the "cards" thing working that would be great. Not sure but I recall it being trademarked or patented or something.

They open-sourced WebOS awhile back.

ICS Reloaded, available as part of the KitchenSink ROM, has the ability to change Ice Cream Sandwich's vertical scrolling Web-OS style cards to horizontal.

But, as a former WebOS user, this is still lacking, as it doesn't zoom out from the currently active app (the active app is the one app that will not appear in the list) and it still requires holding down the home button. And maybe I'm hard to please, but it seems to me this sort of app-switching works much better with a dedicated hardware button rather than holding down an flush/touch button key.

Still, definitely an improvement from Gingerbread app-switching functionality.
