Friends,
Rumour has it that Android 2.0+ will not be released for General Mobile DSTL1. If you are an owner of a DSTL1 or Sciphone N21, this means your device will not benefit from the upcoming version of Android.
However there are many people who work individually for incredible ROMs to make these devices better, like AmonRa, Andferno, Crzyruski etc. These people will need the source codes for the new ROMs so that they can continue developing.
Please take a minute and help them by posting your wish at the General Mobile dot com's contact page.
Remember; Android is a very extendable OS and can be made better by continued efforts.
Thanks and peace.
Future control to curb OEM enthusiasm
OSCON Google will crack open more of Android's development process but keep new versions of its mobile OS closed for competitive reasons.
The giant will change Android's Native code Development Kit (NDK) so that contributed code joins the publicly available Android source tree rather than going into Google's private tree.
There's no date for when the switch will take place, but it should follow a similar move on the Android Software Development Kit (SDK).
Public contributions won't be possible on un-released versions of Android though. That will remain hidden, and Android's development will remain a private affair.

Does anyone know of a forum or blog maintained by the RT Dev team? I am not sure if this exists but would be cool to be able to talk directly with the dev team and see things that they are working on for Windows RT.
Maybe bug them enough to allow 3rd party browsers!
Thanks

Intro:
First of all, I want to appreciate everyone here. Y'all have been doing great works. I'm pointing my BIG shutouts to Cyanogen Team, Android Open Kang Project Team, Paranoid Android Team and Many more.
I've been visiting Xda Dev Forum as a guest due to time limits I couldn't contribute. In other words I'm being selfish. Please forgive me!
Here I come to remedy all that has gone wrong. I'm a developer and trouble shooter as well.
Having any issue with ur Android Smartphone? refer it here and get it solved. I ll be introducing my roms to u later.

Dear XDA members and developers, in case all of your apps need to be tested, and tested correctly, I would like to introduce my google+ beta community here:
Betaapps
As many of you know, Google implemented beta testing options to the Google Play Market and this option based on google+ communities, where you can invite your testers.
These way have a huge advantage:
1) Users can install your beta application directly from Play Market (they can trust your app more, and they don't need to move *.apk files on the device).
2) You will have a simple bugtracker with crash reports, it should increase quality of received feedbacks.
My community should help developers to share their beta programs and invite testers to their communities. If you have a post on XDA forums with your application beta promo, you also can just share the link to our community to the "Request feedback" section with no worry that it will be removed (even if you don't have any community). There are not so much places where you can find a list of beta testing programs, like in our "apps" section, and I also would like to invite all XDA members who want to be notified about new android apps in beta to join our Betaapps community as a tester.
For now, Betaapps community is growing and it will be very helpful if you will share this community with your google+ circles and other social networks. This forum section could be more effective for developers if they will know how to get more testers.
Actually I have a big plans in beta testing field and my community and I hope that XDA members will enjoy my activities and our work will be help testers and developers meet each other. Welcome for your comments.
* for moderators: It would be great to pin this post in this forum section. I also
can place a link to this post in our community description to help people visit XDA. Thanks!

Welcome - Betaapps community is a part of crowd testing. It's mean that everyone can become a tester and of course you can be invited privately for more interesting projects, if your testing skills are good.
There are a lot of free testing programs there and you can join any of them, by the way I will share some information about other beta platforms where you can find paid projects in "crowd" section. Stay tuned and you will become a part of a big crowd testing project with paid opportunities and other awesome features.
You can also introduce yourselves there, and share that community with your friends. We are looking for active QA professionals there :highfive:
Fill free to ask anything you want to know about Betaapps!
