[Q] App development and Apache license - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have a doubt and maybe someone can help me.
I've written an application for me and it works well, so I've decided to share.
The problem is that I've used the body of 2 methods from a class from an Android source presents on the public repository.
This file has the Apache license 2.0. As my source code will not be released, what should I do to satisfy the license's requirements?
Edit: To be clear, the body of one method is copied and the other copied with a modification. Basically it's the only way ( I guess ) to do such operation ( that one in the method ) ^^
thanks in advance for all the answers

[Q] is it possible to make desire dual boot ?

it is possible to run win ce / WM on desire?
No
Not that I'm aware of. You can't run Win Mob full stop.
Is it possible to dual boot with 2 different Custom MODS?? Like OpenDesire and Pays Rom for instance... Or a custom ROM and the official one that came with the phone..

This would be brilliant , they have android on the hd2, why can't we have winmo on the desire
+1 for a winmo 6,5 port
Would be great if you could multiboot, like with different sd cards.
But why would anyone want WinMo on the HTC Desire... Android for the win!
this is xda, this place has always been powered by "Because we can!", so don't ask such questions
Who in their right mind is going to put time and effort into porting a what is basically dead OS to the Desire ? Even Microsoft aren't bothering with WM anymore
Doesn't have to be 6.5...
But some WP7 features seem quite neat though.
I second this request! (if it is a request)
It's not possible since wm is not open source like android

back to the dual boot point, we can boot from a sd card so it is possible to dual boot 2 diff android roms

You are right on that. But Microsoft provides bootroms to test their emulator. Using this rom for dualbooting would be legit I guess..?

I think you miss the point - whilst there is a legal aspect here, I think the main point is not the license associated with open source, but the source code itself.
As Android is open source, it can be compiled to different targets, and deep changes can be made to the source code to get everything working.
As WinMo is not open source, you do not have this luxury, and so the porting exercise would be much, much harder.

Well.. I didn't look at this closely enough.. but Microsoft also provides an emulator for testing their roms.. using this "microsoft device emulator"s sources would make it a bit easier I guess? Well.. you can click on "license" on the following link.. but I just get a "page not found".. so I don't know any details.. but here is the link I found:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...ED-6C95B261DDCD&displaylang=en&displaylang=en
I'm not a dev.. just did a bit research on this one and found their offical emulator.. besides that, there are also a few emulators for the WinMo environment.. some even written in Java I believe..
Again I don't know if they used some code from MS, or just wrote everything from scratch.. I don't really have enough knowledge here.. but I thought maybe I could share my thoughts and get some answers.. and maybe the information I found was a bit helpful?
Thanks anyway

At first im sorry for my bad englisch.
Back to multi boot of desire.
How we can implementing boot from sd-card and back.
How can i boot from sd-card?
What is with data.img, is it nessesary to build an other image or can i use the stock-rom to boot it from sd-card ( i think its unpossibele) ?
Is it right we need to patch hboot ?
is it possibel to load an other bootloader? (grub or somthing else)
I know many questions, but im faszinated of the idea "dual boot on my desire"
Greatings
meinbier
This would be a nice, becouse there is some apps that newer will be on android, and there is people that need this apps.
Dont tell me buy win mobile phone, becouse I get droid from my company. I m not programer, so I cant help on that way. I can only tell that i will donate some money to someone who make native winmobile app install / run on android via emulation or custom rom for desire.
Tnx for your time and i support this thread.

im really interested in this as well ,i have just got a htc desire hd and would love to run both wp7 and android ,wp7 for xbox live is this any new info on this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UE-LVuudEk&feature=player_embedded
So its possible on the DHD!
Maybe on the old Desire too.
AFAIK the Desire's internal memory is not large enough for dual boot... I mean some ROMs have trouble fitting on the partitions now so what do you think would happen with 2 ROMs lol.. you'd have no space for apps... and if you did somehow manage to run a ROM from your SDCARD like you can with legendary devices like the touch pro where you run haret.exe from the phone which boots android - it would be very slow and impractical. So I doubt we will ever see this happen.

[Q] Making Beta Package

hi
good day
my new friend is a developer
he made an app and wants to publish a beta for tests
so is there any idea on how to make a small package for testing like darijoa from badanation.de did it??
http://www.badanation.de/topic.php?t=3966&page=1
P.S: i am not a developer so i'll just deliver data
Thanks in Advance
With bada SDK...
There is an option to make package... so only "Binary" is included instead Source Code.
If no one is faster, I will make an Screenshot... sooon.
Best Regards
What's the problem? You just need to replace the application in the "\App\" folder on his own and edit the "\App\App.cfg". Darijoa installer is just part of the Bada SDK with skillfully written bat-file.
hahahahahaha
Xenon do you expect from me to understand this??
my friend is just a new bada developer who needed some help
he knows C/C++ but didn't study the bada SDK
i didn't believe him when he told me that he wrote an app just 4 days after downloading SDK (thats too fast for me)
anyway i'll tell him what adfree said and what you said too
Thanks for helping guys
XDA rocks
Hi Guys
adfree/Xenon, is there any way to install any app [without having certificate to this application] by Darijoa bat file? If I'm installing original app with cert, for example Voluntas, installation goes well. But I was tryin' something different - I put MyExplorer app in "App" folder, changed strings in config file. When I tried to install this app using this method, my phone says "Error 0108" - no certificate to myExplorer. Is there any way to install ANY application using this method? Is there any option to create certificate to application what I didn't created?
If you don't know what, I wanted to, I thought to create new spoof method for people using JL2 firmware. After this f*****n' Samsung Apps update, only way to run "non-free" games is to reflash their phones [downgrade to JK1 for example]. Not everybody want to do this
Btw, Xenon, good work with sp.so protection
adfree, good job with all U R doing
Best regards,
wxtester
I am sure Adfree has absolutely no interest in supporting a new "****ing" method of spoofing.
Btw, with that **** you are not damaging Samsung, but small developer groups and freelancers like us.
@wxtester
This installation method is only available for applications signed by developers certificate. And so by this way is possible to install only one application. Create a certificate - a task nearly impossible. Possible way to solve - edit apps_сompressed.bin, so I'm hope for success in the holod's QMD packing, this will open a new stage in the creation of custom firmwares.

[Q] Capitivate Glide Source Code

Hello All,
I'm not sure if anyone is aware of this, but I happened to visit Samsung's open source website and happen to come across an interesting zip file containing the source code for this phone (SCH-i927) =). I'm assuming this allows us to get our foot in the door in gaining root on this bad boy. Am I right or wrong?

[PROG] Did you know Slyfer

larioteo developer make's verry great program but we know the samsug server changing, there's the source.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=601440&d=1305838631
Why im intersting about this program because difference with CheckFus you can see all about information, binary, can download just what file you want on firmware not all, can check number...etc
Thread for binary version :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087530
larioteo was so sad where the server was changed
It is really good application and when i saw its source go public i hope that someone will take it to the next level but i think no one have the skills to do it
larioteo is really good developer and i am happy for working with him in Team VEA....he is currently so busy just like me-maybe i am a little bit more free-he is not planning to revive slyfer soon
Please Developers/Hackers if you think you got enough skills to rebuild slyfer just dig in it...i'll ask larioteo to watch his thread so he can answer anyone got a question about his code
Best Regards
hi folks,
you all know how to find latest version of android stock-roms on samsung server,
but only problem is that all software for decrypt them is for .NET (pseudo jvm) for windows...
so if you like to decrypt the files on linux you can get the commandline from:
http ://android.zsolttech.com/index.php?file=GT-I5700_I5700XXJH6_I5700ONEJI1_I5700XXJD1_I5700XXJH6_XX_ONE.zip.enc2
REPLACE the FILE parameter from the URL
pls remove space after http!!!
it just works for enc2 files....
hth

Good idea lets hope someone cones up with a new app for this matwrpiece!

Porting Firefox OS to FP1

Continuing the discussion from Firefox OS is the way to go!
Hi guys!
I am new to xda-devs, but have been visiting it for useful information in the past.
I own a FP1 (First Edition) and am seeking to port FFOS to the FP1.
I do not have any developing experience, I have just done C and Java and I am comfortable with Linux's CLI.
I am following this guide: Porting Firefox OS
Currently I am stuck at the following: Create a manifest for the new device
[edit]
Which changes do I have to make to the hamachi manifest mentioned there?
I figured out, that most of the stuff is hamachi-specific and thus not required. My current manifest is attached. Could you please take a look and tell me, if this is enough?
These files are at hand:
madde on Fairphone Forum said:
Well there already is a recovery file for the fp1 + fp1u by chrmhoffmann up and running. The MTK6589 source code is kind of released and there has been a lot of work on the android code by the omnirom project, which might come in handy.
Should be definitely manageable to build and try out Firefox OS on the FP1. UnfortunatelyI'll just don't have the time to really dig into that. Maybe someone with a bit more experience can give it a shot. I'd love to see and try out the result...

Edit: My current manifest is attached.
I'm very interested by a portage of Firefox OS to the Fairphone
Don't have enought time to test for now, but I stay connected

Did you try your file out? I's think it's probably best to cut down on just the relevant settings.

Yes, the config.sh got stuck at like 93%.
Also I have no idea, what exactly I have to include into the manifest file. I think I need a toolchain, but I am not sure where to get one, and how to apply it. (I somehow know what it is though, I think... )
Ok, running the config.sh comes at the very end, so I probably should continue with the configuration tree[1]...
Does everything in here [2](@chrmhoffmann's repo android_device_fp_FP1) go to the configuration tree?

No haven't been able to work on this.
I still have no idea, where and how to build this configuration tree. Do you have advice on this?
Thank you, Stefan
Fyi, a build is now available. As a new user on XDA, I can not post link here (what a ****ty rule), but check bug 1139642 on bugzilla and search Fairphone on the Mozilla Developer Network (MDN) to have more info.
Wrong phone (FP1(U) vs FP2)
The build, you are referring to, is for FP2, not for FP1.
A Firefox OS for FP1 could possibly be built using the source by @chrmhoffmann: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fairphone/orig-development/rom-fairphone-fp1-kitkat-4-4-2-t3243623
