Since the HTC Smart is formally an HTC phone, will it get it's own dedicated forum? It came out back in March and I still have yet to see a forum for it. Can anyone let me know if/when a forum will be made? Thanks!
Until we hear from some developers on how much can be done with the HTC Smart, we're going to skip it. This could change...
Alright, I haven't heard much from it. That's why I was curious since every HTC phone ever made is on here... except for the Smart....

That's not true really. First ones that come in mind are:
HTC P3000 (HTC Wave)
HTC P6300 (HTC Panda)
Qtek G100 (HTC Galaxy)
Those devices was never added to xda and there are some more I think

Aren't those the chinese ones that are all under the Dopod name though?
AFAIK, there's not much that can be done with the HTC Smart at present
I know someone with it, but he seems to feel hard-done by compared to my Hero and other Android phones out there. I dunno if it can be 'rooted' or anything like that.
But I imagine that given the proprietary nature of the OS, it will gain a limited following, which might hinder any possible dev work.
But if you can get into the device using telnet or anything like that, or find a way to flash or modify the filesystem, then you're half way there

Well.... if their was an XDA section I think it would progress in terms of customization and support.

+200. By adding a BREW forum (like you did with bada) we could most likely get some people on board to look at the HTC Smart and Freestyle.
And then there was silence!
Brew forum needed
I agree about the need for a Brew forum. Discussion breeds ideas
Bought my wife one of these sweet looking phones as her introduction to smart phone what waste of time, thing just keeps freezing, dialling when it likes to random people and openly moves stuff around after she has customized it......
Tried to sync it even that is not strait forward.........downloaded the HTC Sync software and can get it connected but the section on the right is all greyed out and it comes up with tick on of the boxes for it to sync.....but there's nothing to tick..
Anyone else had any problems?? I feel an updated firmware might well help. The no mention of the phone even existing on the HTC website and I only got it xmas just gone. I find that pretty appalling...
Well.... if their was an XDA section I think it would progress in terms of customization and support.
As it states, I've seen a couple blogs regarding this but just wondering via official channels...

you should be able to download WebOS Doctor... it has everything needed to totally wipe the device and reinstall everything fresh... so it would have all the system files in it.
you should be able to find it somewhere other than palms site. on palms page you need to put in your phones serial to download it.
if you end up needing it, i would be happy to download it and host it so you can grab it quick. (wife has a pre plus).
the newest version is 1.4.5.
Hey, found a link for the latest WebOS doctor that camalus was talking about, direct download link for the file is http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pre/...1351rod/webosdoctorp101ewwverizonwireless.jar
and link to the Webos doctor site that hosts all doctor files for all WebOS devices is
http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Webos_Doctor_Versions#Pre_Plus_3
..................hopefully that should be enough to get started!!

I had a Pre Plus for a while and my biggest beef, besides crappy hardware, was the lack of apps.
One of the advantages over Android...an awesome Facebook app worth of praise. They did a good job.

Hey ID I had a Palm Pre Plus for like 29 before I got my Dinc. I loved the card UI, you can have like 50 things going on at once. Phone would get hot and battery would go but it was a nice OS. The Acer test video you made reminded me of it a little.
iv'e searched there's no section.
just wondering if anyone know's if there will be root or support for this?
i was thinking of opening another line and getting this, don't care for the 3d..
It's a waiting game... Later it will show up. Demands is needed.

..it's a newer version of the EVO http://androidcommunity.com/htc-evo-design-4g-review-20111027/
I was thinking of opening up another line for my wife, I don't care for the 3d or paying 200+ for a new phone.
I wanted to see if anyone here would know if there is any kind of support like root or ROM development on this phone. I don't hear much or any buzz. (once you root, it's the way to go) Can't just have a plain old stock phone..lol!

He's talking about the new Evo Design, and the section (or lack of) for the device.
I've seen a few mentions / requests, kind of surprised they haven't created one yet.

oooh, my bad then.
Yea, seeing as my wife and myself have the evo design, and its not a bad phone.. it needs some love, and customization options.
Lets get a forum going for it, and get it some ice cream sandwich ! lol
I also was looking for some support for this phone as I am thinking about getting this on another line. Like most people here I don't like to keep anything stock for to long after I get it home. Well I will just wait and see what happens here.

Welcome to the Android world. In order for members to suggest what to get is you have to give more info on what phone you want or using at the moment.
There are thousands of apps in the android market and lots of ROMs to choose from.
i liked using Engadget, Pulse, IMDB, XDA, Taptu, and a bunch of other stuff most people wouldn't be interested in. i don't have my phone right now so i can't see my Play download history. nobody can tell you what ROM to use. you just have to read and pick one. i mostly just like to look at the pictures. ;p
I have just preordered the htc one x for AT&T and I was wondering what are the best and maybe some of your favorite apps.

Cool. I like MyBackup Pro and Root Explorer from the market. They are not free but I think they are worth it.
For ROMs I think you have to venture to the One XL forum to find out what they are cooking there.
Ok thanks, do you know of any apps that are specific to android that are not on ios? And I'll check out that other thread too.

And I definitely definitely definitely recommend swiftkey, the best keyboard out there (some prefer swype). In fact if you're not happy with the HTC keyboard just have a look around, you can even get the stock android keyboards.
Tegra zone shows you the latest games designed specifically for Tegra phones.
Chrome browser (however it lacks the text reformatting that htc provides on the stock browser)
Enjoy

The most important one I believe is if you ever root your device make sure you read the instructions and it should work out fine. ANd always backup your stuff.
Hmmm.. about android it's pretty basic though. Maybe watch some youtube clips to see how it goes.

Are there any real advantages to rooting an android device? It's kinda like jail breaking an iPhone right, is it mainly for themes, or is there more to it? I hate sounding like an idiot.

Think of it as jailbreak x2. Firstly you need it for Roms. (themes can be changed without rooting actually).
It also let's you modify your phones behaviour and performance to suit (for example, overclocking)
Hope that helps, I know other members can explain it better than me though

Hey Everyone,
Recently I've been wishing for a side-by-side multitasking app that would allow you to view two (or more) applications side by side (or with one above the other), similar to the 'Snap' feature in Windows 7. Whilst investigating this, I came across a piece of software called 'Cornerstone' by Onskreen. To be honest, I know little about software development, but does anyone know if this/something similar could potentially become available from the Google Play store? I think it's been included in Cyanogenmod but no other ROMs as far as I'm aware...
Thanks
There is a web browser named OverSkreen that is floating. I use it when I want to make notes from an online resource -- have word processor open behind the OverSkreen window, with OverSkreen using top or bottom half of screen and word processor the other half.
The 10.1 note will launch with side by side multitasking, I played with one recently, it works pretty well.

I wrote hovernote, a floating notepad app for $0.99: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mjlim.hovernote
There are some other apps that exist for different niches, like overskreen (browser), aircalc (calculator), and airterm (terminal emulator) but I'm finding for some reason that the play store won't let me install them on the nexus 7.
Onskreen by Cornerstone and overskreen and other "floating" apps aren't the same thing.
Onskreen has to be built into a ROM as it modifies framework heavily to give your system true windowed apps.
Really a great concept, open source and possibly being added to Cyanogenmod in the future.
For those that have no clue what this really is, check this:
http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/
Cornerstone is probably not going to be added to cm9 in the future. See the comment by Dianne Hackborn here for rationale against: https://plus.google.com/100275307499530023476/posts/ViCME1bb8F6
I thought I saw somewhere a comment specifically saying cornerstone wasn't going to be included in cm9, but I can't find it.

From what I've read, Cornerstone on CM9 is too 'clunky', but Cyanogen was keen to implement something similar...
There is some cornerstone work going on, it's too early in development for me to promise they will keep working in it but I know some people that have started working with it to bring to the N7 if possible.
I found a need floating calculator app the other day that will sit anywhere on the screen and can be moved around and stuff. I'll have to go back and look to find the name of it.

I think you are talking about darkcalc. It's pretty handy, for me anyway.

Yeah I've had a look through various floating apps for different tasks, such as note taking and calculating, but it'd be nice if I was able to use the apps I have already and not be limited to just floating apps. I was really hoping that something like Cornerstone would be widely available so that I could have a game open in the main section and perhaps a website or two open in other, smaller, panels.

AirCalc...works great.
We have Cornerstone nightlies on the Xoom (teameos, ICS builds, iirc).
I used them, but there were eventually too many conflicts with my third party launcher. Great idea, though.
I've used a rom a few months ago on my touchpad that someone added the cornerstone functionality too. It was actually awesome and cm at the time was playing around with it too and was gonna incorporate it I thought for cm10,but haven't heard anything in awhile. It really makes a true multi tasking environment.

I would love the Nexus 7 to do this,
Supposedly only a few apps work side by side. I don't think any app will do it. Probably Samsung apps only... at least what the hands on review said. Maybe more apps loaded later.
Its also releasing with ICS with no date of JB. With Samsungs track record it could be a while. LG pulled this stunt with the G2x and it was months. Samsung don't update their devices very fast. They rather throw out a new device first.
