Develop Bugs

Would you be disappointed if...

With all the work this community has gone into getting Android to work on the TP2/Tilt2, would you be disappointed or upset if HTC developed and released a full featured and functional Android build for the TP2/Ttilt2

No, more like excited. Seeing as that's what all this work has gone into trying to accomplish in the first place. lol

Bah! I can't vote right on my own poll...
I can't wait for full Android on this or my next phone whoever makes it.

why would i be disappointed? it would give more access for the devs here to work with.

I would hope that HTC worked with the xda developers to create an android rather than voiding all the existing work.
However if HTC did release one I bet it would solve many of the problem the xda guys have had and would enable them to finish alternative flavours of Android for the TP2.
Either way having android for the TP2 would be just awesome whoever cracks it.

I vote yea because I am not an end user, all these end users probably voted no because they would just be satisfied that theres a working build, but they give no credit to the people that have taken time out of their lives to get something working that a lot of people would have no idea how to do. and yet the devs get no credit...

I want to dump my phone for android based phone.

I think even the devs would love it, because they could then focus their efforts on modding and creating apps which they are really good at and really enjoy instead of backward engineering what has already been done.

I wish...
I wish they would, but it probably won't happen. I'm sure there is already a strain on the HTC-Microsoft relationship because most (if not all) of their new high-end devices are Android based, with the exception of the HD2 (which isn't really new anymore). I'm sure HTC is developing WP7 devices but most of their focus right now seems to be on Android. If they release an Android build for a WinMo device, Microsoft will probably throw a fit. I'm sure HTC wants to do it to spike sales and increase the "lifespan" of the Rhodium, but it would not be in their best interest. However, if there are any HTC engineers and such listening, please feel free to "leak" unofficial 2.1 or 2.2 builds to the geniuses here. 3.0 is welcome as well...

I would love it, but please, don't get my hopes up.

i wouldnt be BUT i do realize the hard work and effort the devs. have made on this project. im sure it would make things easier for devs. then they could focus on modding and apps.

i will never ever turn on the freakin window-mo......more and more and more then happy if Htc release the official Android 3.0 a.k.a. Gingerbread build

HTC would never do this. So the hypothetical question shouldn't even be answered.

I think i would go buy it.

I would like to see a rom with android and wm working as one but back to the question u would have to think about money they would make with people switching n buying another htc phone with andriod but I do think they should lend an helping hand with getting the sound to work

Progress of Android porting to S8500/S8530

Lets work together.
We have 4.01.2011 and I see no evidence nor progress nor real infos nor start...
Lets make some rules for this Thread.
1.
We want facts NO fiction. For discuss and dreaming use this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894990
2.
What should be post here:
- infos of progress... Example.
""Today I was able to boot Android instead bada on my S8500""
Minimum post then Pictures here or Video on youtube for instance as evidence
Perfect would be. Alpha/Beta status stuff for trying self... if possible for ALL users.
Best Regards

I think..
This post has multiloader in it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10236370&postcount=3

This post has all of the needed resources http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895125

I think the only way we are going to see and android port is if we start a bounty for the first person to do it, i mean other wise its not worth the monstrous effort it will take.

im agree with you!

Example what I mean... progress and description...
Here S8000:
http://code.google.com/p/jetdroid/wiki/JetBootloader
Now we should do this for S8500 too.
Best Regards

i want android on my wave 8530,very plz

Nah, I have android on Archos 101 - it sucks. I didn't find anything interesting for me in Android and it seems that bada is more stable than google's piece of linux.

bada is not bad, I thinks it's quite good. Ok, there aren't so much apps than for Android or Symbian - but they will come with the time.

bla bla bla , again new/old boring conversation about nothing

I cant find the site!
Some months ago i found a community site calle WaweDroid, there were trying a port, and of course i dreamed to buy and high end device for cheap and using my favorite os like with htc hd2, but now i cant even find the site anymore and there are no updetas about that.
Do someone any idea/news of that?

hello now wavedroid project is hosted in androidport.net
we (well , the guys that are working on the port im just a memeber ) would be glad if you join us!
cheers!

yes it is.
with serious people working on it
cheers!

Why is it still in Maintenance mode, Tonilo??
I thought it was only gonna take it 3 days...but it's been like 5 days since then.

i dont know...
have you tried the new web?
http://www.androidport.net/
if you cant see it or whatever tell me!
cheers!

While I do believe that serious people are working on the project (& keeping my fingers crossed too!), the site's owner fails to provide regular updates about anything happening. Actually there is no news on any progress on the site.
I am a member too but I need regular updates about any progress on the port.

Its because the site owner has done nothing but come across as a tool. They should appoint a developer to be in charge of keeping the community in the know

i think the same, and im not agree for asking money for nothing.
im quite dissapointed with the administrators.
i hope that they will stop to asking money or i will resign as moderator there

they have listened to mea nd it seems they will act with common sense...

Sounds like the more serious members on the wavedroid team are making progress.
Adfree, you should work with them on the boot loader, it will help you get a better understanding of the encryption that the stock one uses.
"hey guys this is what i heard from sachin
sachin is allready working on the kernel files of the galaxy s i9000 to make it ready for boot

[Q] Question from HTC commercial...app?

I was watching the most recent HTC commercial and would really REALLY like to know what app or how to share from your phone and watch it on the tv without an hdmi cable... Will donate $5

I'll take the $5 and tell you to post in the proper forum.

I thought this was the Dev forums....

qik? maybe!!!
sorry i never used qik
ohh dont mind the rude peeps on here!!! they get sensitive...prob the same peeps who are picked last in kickball

HAHA.. so TRUE!!!
For the OP... got a link to the commercial? Not sure but willing to look if you got it....
However.. i am sure you will get like 18 more people telling you wrong forum so prepare... people are dumb... thats why there are some GREAT devs that dont even come here anymore...

i believe the commercial was for a windows phone. (i am assuming the swamp man commercial) to my knowledge no app currently supports this type of transfer though it may be possible if Google tvs become popular through wifi.
as far as those complaining it is up to the community to set standards. While i dont think people should only post wrong forum and that 100 people need to post the same thing. If WE as a community accept posting in the wrong section in most cases the mods will accept it as ok as well and then you will end up with a mess. (see 99% of forums and its hard enough to follow everything when its clean).
So while some people are very rude about it and that isnt needed it does serve some purpose and it helps set standards that keep the forums clean. especially after having members that are 8 months old still doing it.
if you dont think that matters go search most other forums and try to find anything without having to search through 20 pages of crap.

Most of the devs that have left have done so for other reasons such as being banned for there choices (whether we agree they should have or not). Very few if any devs left because of the community. Especially the part informing people of the rules and trying to keep "their" space clean.

This should have been posted in the Q/A section. You can learn from your mistake now, so that next time it won't happen.
Here is the link to the vid on HTC's youtube.
Here is the picture, I think???
Note it says WiFi is required.
As the post above me: it could be a WP7 phone.

thats the DLNA app the Htc talked about when they first Announced Sense 2.0 coming to Android phones. Its called Media Link and most of the Z/HD roms have it in there you can download it from HTC HUB as well but ONLY ON Sense 2.0
Virus, Myn, BOS, And others are working on Z/HD ports for our EVO's But we need DLNA enabled tv's to make it work and/or the converter box HTC also Talked about..

incredible S rom in the dev section has sense 2.0, technically you could do it from this rom, no?

[Q] Windows Phone 7 Port?

Been a long time android user. Love the customization of the OS, but its always fun to try something new! I know there have been a lot of people asking this on other device threads. Honestly, the E4GT could run WP7 like a champ. Plus, it would be great to have the option and be free to run what you want. Thats what XDA is for isn't it? Anyone give this a shot yet?

http://m.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/demo/index.html
Not quite an android port but hey.

Ya, the demo is fun to mess around with, but why stop there?

Try metro launcher. Can't really port win 7 because it would be warez then. Windows 7 is not open source.

I see your an ACS member? If so, I just want to say thanks for all y'alls work on the original Epic in the Syndicate Frozen rome. They were my first dip into rooming and rooting. QBking77's tutorials really helped me learn. Thanks for all the help!
Back to the topic. Is there any way to install Windows Phone 7 onto the Epic Touch? I know for a fact that the E4GT can easily run it with the specs it has. Why not try and pull WP7 off of another Samsung WP7 device. Maybe that could be a starting point? I'm not a developer, but theres gotta be more people out there who want this to happen or are at least interested.

Like someone already said.. this would be considered illegal since WP7 is not opensource like Android.. It would also be extremely difficult (don't want to say impossible), considering the source is not available and the drivers most likely being incompatible.
This is the closest you'll get to it:

Ah. Makes sense. It is like Microsoft to screw up something with great potential by locking it down. Oh well... I'll just ask this since theres already a few people in here to seem to know their stuff. What rom would you recommend for the E4GT?

Now that you can go back to full stock, give them all a try. Everything is done exactly the same as on the Epic so it should be easy for you. Which is best is impossible to say. As you probably know from the Epic, some ROMs just work better on one phone than they may on another even though they are the same. That's part of the mystery of these Sammy phones

windows phone 7 sdk has been releasd
I have good news for you guys, i am actually a htc one x owner but this could be ported when its done, so im going to help. Windows phone 7 sdk was released the other day and as far as i know this means development and copy of its software is now legal.
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27570
This is the link to the site where the sdk has been released. It allows the creation of apps and games for windows phone but as far as I know it could be the start of something big
Hope this could help a bit

you mean wont be jailed if we install it on our android phones ???

Maybe, it is possible?
Guess it can be done. Not at this moment though. Few years ago when Steve Jobs introduced Intel processors in macs, a new unofficial project was started known as Hackintosh. What it does is it simply asks the user to make a prototype of a certain version of a Mac and then installs Mac OS X using some custom bootloaders. I have done it in my machine.
Well, if we can find a phone exactly same as that of any WP phone, then it MAYBE possible, 'cause that'll (maybe ) discard the need for new drivers. Plus, its the world of piracy :laugh: :laugh: unless, you want to go sell your device or patent it, it should be perfectly alright to pirate WP (On your own risk though, IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED )
*I DO NOT ENCOURAGE PIRACY, ITS JUST AN IDEA, A WAY TO FULFILL YOUR PIPE DREAM*
good luck people. :good: :good:

Ubuntu ROM

Good morning all,
There are plenty of threads about ubuntu on nexus 5, but I haven't seen any about it on the nexus 5X, is anyone working on it? Is it easily portable ? I would really enjoy trying it out but I cannot gather any useful info on it...
Cheers
O_S

Have fun building it, lol. Canonical isnt going to build any official images for any phone since they have OEMs selling phones with it preinstalled.
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-for-devices/porting-new-device/

Well, a port for the one plus one was just done, one for the one plus x in on the go and one for the fairphone was release some days ago too... So it seems possible. I do not have time right now to learn how to build a rom but the process interests me, i'll take a look at you link, waiting to have more free time (hopefully in September).
Nonetheless this does not answer my question; are people here working on it ?
