How To Install Symbian Os

AceT2213

This might exist off-topic, but I don't believe XDA has a Symbian thread.

I know a lot of people might disagree with me, just I grew upwardly with Nokia. I followed them and their new devices religiously. I owned or at least played with every Nokia device I could get my easily on. I watched Symbian Os mature, only to die an untimely death, thanks to the iPhone.

Today I came across the Nokia 216 and the 230, and the nostalgia of Symbian admittedly absorbed me, even though it's only serial 30. Digging into the specs, I was blown abroad by the reported xix and 22 DAYS of standby fourth dimension, respectively, powered by 1020 and 1200mAh batteries, respectively.

And this got me thinking. My starting time gen Moto E has a 1980mAh battery. If we assumed that series 60 Symbian (their flagship offer, with Coffee app support) consumed twice as much power as series 30, I would notwithstanding be getting about iii weeks of standby time on a single charge, which is mindblowing for a smartphone.

I have scoured the interwebs and found iii Symbian SDKs. I have zero knowledge regarding ROM porting but I'm pretty technical and I'm a fast learner. Is at that place anyone willing to help me breathe new life into old hardware? I believe Symbian would run unbelievably fast on this hardware while still having exceptional battery life. I also believe that not a lot would be sacrificed in switching from Android to Symbian, particularly since most people but use like iii apps anyway. And I don't run into why Android app support can't be built into Symbian, since most Android apps are written in Java anyway.

So who's gonna aid me change the world (of cheap old smartphones) and revive the celebrity of Symbian? I don't expect anyone to use information technology as a daily driver, not at first anyhow. Only I absolutely believe that information technology could develop to where it could be used as a daily driver, especially for those who don't demand much out of their phones but even so want snappy performance and incredible battery life.

I also believe that not a lot would be sacrificed in switching from Android to Symbian, especially since most people only use similar three apps anyhow.

Good thinking, merely for one unmarried person , information technology's a great claiming

That's why I'm reaching out for assistance from those more experienced than me. I can't even get the SDKs to work, I've been at it all day yesterday.

Well ask some famous developers, maybe they volition heed. Maybe @Sultanxda or @chenxiaolong, or @francisco.franco.

I'm bold they volition run across this now that yous've tagged them. Here's hoping they'll see my vision.

Symbian is closed source, i think this is impossible, i take a nokia 700 i'k ok

According to Wikipedia, Symbian became open up-source in 2022.

What software is your Nokia 700 running? Practise you still use information technology and if then, how's the battery life?

I don't apply it anymore, it has original symbian belle fp2

Crash-land. No one who was tagged showed up

This isn't possible. Linux drivers that Android and Sailfish use aren't compatible with Symbian. Y'all'd have to remake all the drivers from scratch. Also, Android apps are more so simply java. They have lots of os api calls.

Well, some folks made NITDroid possible, I judge they contrary engineered and rewrited all drivers from N900 to android compatible ones. Why vice versa is not possible?
Anyway, that sound interesting. I'd similar to run across Symbian refreshed for mod times.

BTW, why Sailfish forum?

Dude, the n900 ran Linux. Information technology had Linux drivers.

Oops, sorry. I miscalculated.

Information technology's like yous're proverb you'd build Windows Os into Android. Yeah it's possible, and it has already been done. No criminal offence, but for a man with little to no knowledge of Java and Symbian coding and programming languages, you can't just just port Symbian into Android smartphones. It'd require a lot of dissimilar coding in the kernel, photographic camera support, display, sound, processor and other hardware. It'd be like building a new OS from scratch, since both might be running on Coffee just I recollect they are vastly unlike for different devices.

For your motivation, I can advice y'all that you can already endeavour to effigy some way out. Wait deep into Symbian SDK and Android SDK, what is like, what is dissimilar, how practise both send instructions to the hardware and much more in-depth topics. Figure out the things, compare them, and ane 24-hour interval, you might even develop Symbian into Android Smartphones. All I tin can say is that is going to have a lot of devotion and endeavour.

If I understand correctly you want to bring Symbian on an Android smartphone. This is a nice idea. I suggest y'all directly your attention on Symbian ^ 3. I have never done such a thing, my knowledge is limited to the PC programming of very uncomplicated games. Just they are available for this project. Merely, you lot demand people with this noesis to do such a thing. You'll need the SDK for Symbian and its source code. I am in possession of the source code.

P.s. Lamentable for my bad English language, but I'm italian

Few things. What yous really need is not an SDK, simply a PDK (platform development kit), sources, toolchains etc. Quite a lot of stuff. Some of it was saved here:
https //www mediafire com/folder/79jhy594xb3uk/Symbian_Development#79jhy594xb3uk
Yous also demand compilers, toolchains, quite a lot of stuff to be honest, not certain if you could observe everything here. There was a project called Wild Ducks that tried to port the matter to a BeagleBoard. They actually got the thing to run, but every bit yous'd expect, the project is really dead at this point.

Yeah, I accept Carbide.c ++ v3.2 ( view Wikipedia for info ) and a SDK for all Symbian OS version

When @Cotulla here , he will help you .
