As all we that know that Nokia source code now 100% open.
can u make a firmware developer forum for nokia where the developers can made changes in nokia firmwares like windows mobiles?
Is it possible that
I can make the forum, I will buy the domain, hosting everything, just suggest me a good domain name and I will take care of the rest
which one u want like xda forum or other?
i think its good and there is not any domain name like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia
Oh if you want a sub-domain under xda-developers, then there's nothing to buy, the admins will have to look into this.
And although Symbian is opensource now, Nokia firmware development is unlikely to happen, because the Z drive on Nokia devices, which is the ROM, is locked. And I don't think anyone has succeded in unlocking it permanently so far.

Now z drive of nokia phone like 5800XM which is very good phone is now unlocked by some developers, please visi this forum to see that :-
if this is happen then please make a sub forum Nokia in XDA for developers to cook its own firmwares of Nokia.

Oh thats cool then, the last Symbian I used was N95 8GB, it was hard to do then. Well the admins already said XDA-Developers will only be dedicated to HTC devices, so a Nokia sub-forum is unlikely to happen. But if you can get some developers who are interested in this, then I can make a separate website for it, something like nokia-developers.com or symbian-developers.com
HTC only?
If you scroll down the forum homescreen you'll see other WinMo/Android devices outside of HTC. Maybe the question was asked in the wrong way to the admins. I don't think we're looking to really mod Nokia devices. However, as Nokia begins to release more devices with "Intel" chip-sets the development community may see some shift towards working on Nokia hardware/firmware.
What we currently want is to do is explore and develop the new and open source Symbian ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 and ^5 into ROM's that load onto our beloved HTC devices.
Compatibility and open-ness are driving the new information economy. Symbian has some pretty darn cool stuff like N-Gage gaming, support to play "Digital Copy" movies, etc...
Imagine being able to just transfer your digital copy movie over to your HD2 or TouchPro 2 because your PC thinks your device is a 5800. Right now you'd have to convert the digital copy through some illegal method.
Apple locks down their devices to prevent us from doing this kind of work. We're a community of open, intelligent and capable minds/people. This community should not be so "Apple" like and prevent open development.
I'm also suggesting, just as there was on the Rhodium page for Android, a bounty issued for Symbian ROM development.
A Nokia forum wouldn't make sense. Nokia only owns a majority of the Symbian platform. What we really want is a Symbian forum on XDA. We want this so that we have a single source of information on an important topic where we know that we truly have experts working on the issues and solutions. XDA could experience major growth by doing this and attracting Symbian developers. Symbian is closely related to WinMo as it is so this wouldn't be a daunting task for developers. C++
To be honest, I don´t think this will happen.

But i dont think any one would really want a Rhodium page for Symbian,though. I think it would be best if there was a seperate website for Nokia/Symbian developments.

I agree new domain would be better. I liked Symbian-developers.com
coz there is many symbians accept nokia.
and by the way NGAGE days is over.. they shut down nGage for good.
now there is only OVI like Market in android

Good Luck
Please post on the site what phones should be added and what forums should be there

Such a shame there obviously isn't much interest in the newest Nokia phones.
I really think with the N8 and C7 Nokia took a big step forward and I'd love to see them get the recognition they deserve for it.
Unfortunately they might be a year or two too late.
I think, if there was a Symbian Forum on XDA-Developers, it might be way more successful than an external site. So I very much +1 the TO request.
BTW: Does anyone know if apps for the N8 and C7 are interchangable?
Greetings.
PS: Can a software branding be totally removed from the C7 / N8?
The main reason that WinMo survived until now is the community support to the system, especially from XDA.
Tide has been shifted within XDA in the past 6 months or so when some of the developers were able to port Android to the WinMo based phones, not to mention the seisure of WinMo 6.x .
The point I'm trying to make is that at this fast rate of Android platform support form this community, it seems that the later WP7 comes out, the least support the XDA community will give as more and more people will be hooked to Android.
Here's my observations:
For indy developers, Android poses fresh challenge in terms of getting the grip of the platform and its potential. It's heading as the next biggest platform for foreseeable years to come.
Just my 2 cent.
Hi, I really love this site and was wondering why there is no nokia/symbian support? It would be cool if I could get support for all my devices in one site. Thx
I think that's quite an interesting idea, In what way can you mod a symbian phone though ??
Symbian platform usually uses Linux. So like Android. But is Symbian really worth looking into to customize? Now a Symbian App section might be a good idea. There should be some kind of poll at least.
check these for symbian mods and see if symbian is worth modding

i am one of the member of PNHT (Professional nokia hacking group)
recently recieved a G1 and looking at things on the android side. so far android is looking great!
Well i think this forum is about WM, Android and WP7.
But Meego looks great so far and it would be nice to have sister project like you have iphone developers.
buy used mobiles india
no need to be surprising and wondering about the it.easy solution to buy used mobiles india and become happy

Well I really love my New N8 and would be even better if I could dual boot android
I also looking for a Symbian/Nokia Forum, it were nice to see it on xda-developer.
I am contemplating adding a Nokia Nuron to my cell phone collection soon.
Sent from my MB200 using XDA App
+1 for a Nokia / Symbian section!
oems are giving up hope for symbian, it could use a community like xda
also meego = awesome and needs xda support as well imo

im sure there's more but im lazy
We are a global network for WM and Android Devices..True that we started the i-phone devs,but it was after a lot of considerations..As it is we have a terrific amount of phones lined up on the forum home page.We never thought of creating the Legacy devices forum over here,but due to constant advancement of technology and thus the devices too,we cut short the forum main page and a Legacy devices Sub forum was created...Still,the main page list is too big to end.I doubt Svetius would include a Nokia/Symbian Sub-forum on XDA..As it is Nokia also has a tougher and long line-up of its devices...It would create a clutter on already overcrowded XDA..Also users may ask to include more and more devices of the Symbian Os thus inviting Sony-Ericsson and other players on the Symbian too..So its gonna be a strict NO from my side[A hardcore WM loyalist]..If it does happen,it would be a sister project[forum] just like i-Phone developers...
PM the Admins and may be they'd have a look into this!
"In what way can you mod a symbian phone though ?? "
just look at hyperx and faenil roms, the samsung i8910 with 600/700mhz (latest mod of hyperx clocks the cpu to 950mhz) is same or faster than hd2 with 1 ghz (in custom wm or android roms).It would be great to have a device like hd2 with a less hungry OS like symbian, and a good browser too ,in the end what matters is the taste and how biased ppl are , imho hd2 great hardware with crap OS (wm), android (not so crap but much hungry OS), and symbian (apart the browser) great OS but crap hardware (apart i8910).
noo.. I am pretty sure that there is a reasoin that since 2 years ago only Nokia is producing phones with Symbian.. when I got my first phone (a Nokia) there was Samsung SE.. etc. with symbian.. To be honest.. Symbian is BAD. not worth paying for.. unless you need a cheap smart phone.. eg Nokia 5230 ot 5233 etc..
at least add meego forums plz
just for curiosity, have you ever seen/used one of the custom roms in i8910 or just talking about like others do?
well i personally think put all the HTC into one sub section then HTC users choose which phone.. its just way too much HTC on the main forum page.
This was mainly HTC forum before they started to add another popular devices, so i doubt you will see that.
this idea is so good i broke out the nuron to reply lol it took twelve minutes j/k but really it did lol

exactly. xda = htc. which was only wm phones until the rise of android, and the long hesitation for the wp7. the only reason android is covered on other devices is because htc started carrying android.
but im one of the people that thinks they are adding too many devices to the forums, and should stick with just htc hardware.
Microsoft has decided to reach out a helping hand and publish a case study that details how to port an iPhone app to its Windows Mobile platform. Now Windows Mobile users may finally have access to the countless fart apps we so thoroughly enjoy.
The post on Microsoft’s Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) site is a case study that documents the experience of one iPhone app developer in porting the app Amplitutude to a device running Windows Mobile 6.5. The report itself was actually created by a third-party consulting group.
Amplitude is an iPhone app that is able to detect and amplify basically any sound directly around a user. The app was chosen for the porting project because it is difficult to port, so it should provide a good learning experience for Windows Mobile developers.
“It combines a rich user interface with features such as alpha blending and transparency with specific audio and sound requirements, which makes it challenging to port the app but, at the same time, provides a number of helpful learning experiences,” he wrote.
Microsoft intends to launch their Windows Marketplace sometime during the fall. As an incentive, they will be offering prizes for the most popular apps.
This is a logical move by Microsoft. What better way is there to lure developers over to your side than by simply having them port their already made apps with an step-by-step walkthrough? The incentives for the most popular apps obviously won’t hurt either.
Are any of you fed up iPhone developers intrigued by the idea of moving your apps over to Windows Mobile?
In all actuality, this probably won't happen..
As a person who makes software, I wouldn't want anyone to reverse engineer my work.
I am sure that is the same for bigger corporations and little guys like me who make these apps.
I wouldn't mind if a person ported a game I made as long as the following are included in the port:
1) The port is of the completed game as specified by me
2) The project is finished to an acceptable state where no expected upgrades will be made
3) The game gives credit to the original source
A game being released by another person with different upgrades from the original and the port-dev isn't sharing knowledge of the upgrades before release, that's shameful on the port developer. Way to kick the original to the curb.
In the Amplitude port to WM, it includes where it's from, so I see it as acceptable. M$ taking the site off their servers in favor of more WP7 stuff, NOT ACCEPTABLE!
it is posibble? i need some of the iphone games..such as angry bird..help

And than he will have a very expensive brick with antena issues to play fun games.
By the way, Microsoft no longer has the site on how to port the iphone games to the WM platform. It's sad to say, but I'm losing faith in M$ knowing what to do in the smart phone department.
Hey there,
as many of you know, the Marketplaces of iOS and Android are far ahead of the one Windows Phone has.
Those offer a bigger list of Apps for almost everything you can imagine.
Of course Apps get ported to Windows Phone, but that goes pretty slow.
What I thought of was creating a "Request an App Development" board for Windows Phone 7 on XDA. So developers who got skills, but no ideas yet can browse XDA and prolly begin to release one or two apps which are already present on iOS or Android.
Of course we do not support cracked apps. So those who ask for warez versions of the apps on marketplace should get warned. This board should be only related to releasing new, missing apps.
Since XDA is daily visited by thousands of users, this would be a great place for devs to look for new ideas. All in one place.
The current Software Development board is more like a "Post an App, Talk about it!" board.
There is a stickied Request thread in the Software Development Board
