Bounty for WebOs multitasking ported to the Galaxy s3

[mnhertz26]

I am offering a $100 bounty if a developer can incorporate WebOs multitasking into a SGS3 rom. Please join in and maybe a developer will take the challenge.

For those not familiar with WebOs, it offers true multitasking and is amazing. To see what I'm talking about, watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ30i-SqcGY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

WebOs has been ported to the Galaxy Nexus and has recently gone open source. This feature would make the sgs3 the greatest device in the world.

Again, you don't have to offer $100, but join in. I've always found that if the money is right, things get done.

Edit: There is a mod in root wiki that gives us webos like multitasking! It only works on AOKP though. It shouldn't be hard to port to TW or AOSP. The page has developer source codes and a road map to porting it. Come on developers, jump on this. Otherwise, I'll have to start pm'ing developers.. http://rootzwiki.com/topic/14167-mo...orizontal-app-switcher-011412build-17-update/

WebOs has gone completely open source. They have released all source codes. It has been ported to the Galaxy Nexus. It can't be too difficult to port here since it took no time for the GN port. It is all driven by Linux too.

I'll pledge $10. I'm thinking that this would have to go into a cm Rom. , since it would be an OS base rather than an app. Seems feasible but a lot of work. Could you provide a link to the GN thread, please.

I give $30 if its smooth and not lagging like those webos pc demos HP showed two days ago.
Anyone know if webos has a media player that will play all video formats like vlc or mxplayer?

Yes, I had a palm pre and a Touchpad. I don't want webos straight ported. I want to see if someone can port the webos multi tasking and integrate it into ics or jb. Android is superior in every way except for multi tasking

At any rate. Speak to the dev that ported it to nexus about porting it here!

I really miss WebOS - the multitasking and the ultimate customization through the use of patches. I would love a rom that incorporates those features into Android.

Count me in for a minimum of $25.

Umm. Hold down your home button. Would you look at that. Huh.

Someone obviously never used webos before...

 

[CharliesTheMan]

In the YouTube video in the OP it just shows switching back and fourth between open apps. It was a long time ago that I was on WebOS, I know there's something different about its multitasking than android and iOS multi tasking, but didn't see the difference in that one short video.

Can someone explain how it works differently, I'm just curious for my general knowledge.

I've never used WebOS but I know what it does kinda... and it's very cool!

Maybe a good idea would be to use something like Kickstarter or similar to build the pool of cash. That way the money is there and available for the dev or team that get this ported in...
