Boycotting Google..... - HTC One X

Ok, first off, no silly replies please. You can laugh but don't talk like a dumbass.
So here goes.... *deep breath*.......
Is there an alternative to Android (Google) that i can run on my HTC one x. I'm boycotting Google for the way they have handled the offensive video as of late on youtube.
To be frank, google dominates my life, contacts, gmail, photo's, chrome but i now want to boycott them. I know it'll be hard but i can try....
So, alternative OS to google which my one x can run?? Or do i need to buy an iphone
Mods, feel free to move this as appropriate.

What are you talking about......
And no is the answer

lol
somehow i'm not sure they will notice
anyways its your life, your choice..
windows phone, iphone, and blackberry, samsung bada, i think there's more, but none really are quite the same as android, imo you will be taking a big step backwards if you do choose to not use it.
only problem, is that your not really gonna be successful in finding one of those os's for the one x. somebody would have to make it, the same way as a custom rom, and the processor architecture could be different, and not supported by os etc etc, its a big mess and very very unlikely to ever happen - the old windows mobile phones got android, purely because winmo was complete crap, and android would have been considered an upgrade, the other os's; they would be considered by most as a downgrade, hence not bothering to do it

I'm guessing the OP is on about this video which Muslims are finding offensive
But to answer your question, no. You can't run anything other than Android on the One X at this time

CyanogenMod uses all the open source code from Android and makes the Google apps installation optional. If you boycott Google and don't want to know from them, you can use it if it's available on your 1X. The browser allows you to choose your search provided, right?

my apologies.. just could not resist

There is no non-Android OS for the HOX. You could however remove most if not all Google services from your phone. Root, and then install an AOKP or CM ROM, don't install the GApps. It might be useful to use Droidwall to block connections to specific Google servers as well. There will still be some things to do like making sure location services stay off, and you'll face some challenges, but you could cut the cord.
You'd need to sideload apps (no Play Store). Use something like Funambol for calendar/contacts/mail. Use Opera or Firefox browser and set default search engines to not be Google.
I can't decide if this would end up really sucky or really just the same!

Just go buy another phone. U cant please everybody in the world so boycotting google just because of this video is childish. They have offensive material to me posted on YouTube like videos glorifying the IRA but I won't boycott them because of it. So I suggest u either buy a new phone or quit ur b##chin

it's still running Google Android though?

Thanks guys, what a tremoundous and positive response! :fingers-crossed:
looks like CM to me.... even though they utilize majority of android.
But wasn't android made possible by Linux??
@ Goku - really dissapointed man. You're like one of the flag ship xda members. Meh

Boycott Google?
Good luck with that, what your after is an iphone - but guess what, all videos will still be on YouTube (aka gootube )
Anyway, what's the big fuss - I liked the video, reminded me of Harry Potter because of the old wizard.

FAQ
What is it?
"I Am Rich HD" is an imitation of the useless "I Am Rich" iPhone app that was around some time ago and by association is completely useless as well.
But whats the point then?
Well... there isn't one. Its just my venture into the world of WinMo development. And its pretty.
(On that note, could someone recommend some websites/tutorials/ebooks on the specific topic of using VS2008 for developing WinMo apps. Thanks.)
How do I use it?
Theres 2 buttons.
- Info Button -> shows you the matra. (recite it at least 3 times a day to make sure you have your wealth forever)
- the X button -> closes the app
To go to the main screen from the mantra hit the back button on the HD.
For the about dialog tap the mantra.
But there already is an "I Am Rich" Windows Mobile app.
Thats not a question. But anyway the other app that is out there did not display properly on my HD. I believe it was developed for the Diamond.
Something isnt working.
Again not a question but honestly I have no idea. I thing you need to have .NET Framework 3.5 for the app to work properly.
How do I install it?
Just copy the exe anywhere in your device and run it.
Can I help? / Can I have the resources?
Sure. If you are interested in doing some pointless fun programming PM me and I will send you all the graphics. I would like to include some further changes to the program, unfortunately my VS2008 programming skills are pretty limited. PM me if you can lend a hand and/or answer a few specific questions.
Thanks for giving it a try. Any feedback is appreciated (and I mean any).
nice my friend lol
thank you for your share

or how about a fluid video player on android, there are disadvantages to android... i've come to a few in just my 2nd day of use. Besides that, I love it. My ancient 8125 plays that video just fine, no bugs, stops, glitches, freezing like my desire does. Not really a big deal as it's not a video player for me, but like stated some apps will have to be rewritten for droid. Hopefully they're not the most used. WP7 will be a big contender I believe, M$ has the funds and ready to compete. We shall see. They will surely be getting the new qualcomm dualcore lineup i'm betting.

I've got Sopranos and pacific on my desire and they play sweet as.
OP : if you want a snapdragon with WM why not a HD2?
HD2 I had borrowed for a month and they appear to me too much, with one hand can not be used
I think you should have this thread moved to Themes and Apps and search for replacements for WinMo, because I don't see a port happening in the near future.
On the other hand, I agree that android -even if it's quite modern and overall better than WinMo 6.5.3- is very immature in many ways and lacks some polished apps:
- email client
- exchange
- contact managing
- extensive weather application such as weatherpanel
- a good imdb client
- a reliable bt/wifi remote - most don't work on bt and even gmote has lots of problems on some platforms
- some other work related applications

well, I haven't said that, my point is that being winmo a lot older than android, you miss some applications which where developed over a long time and which probably will come to android, but aren't still there. The Imdb example is just to point out that even if you have 50000 apps there are some which are missing (and Imdb doesn't want official applications).
In fact if you read my post I have stressed that you should move this to themes and apps because there are some applications which are missing, not because the OS isn't good.
At the same time the email client, contact management (picture syncing issues etc) all point to the fact that android is midway between business/consumer and that it's still a bit in the working, which is completely normal.
But this is going offtopic. I just think that there is probably no way that WinMo (6 ? 7 ?) will be ported to a similar android device. And I'm of the opinion that you should just try to replace what you miss with some of the apps you find in the market.
You can keep Windows mobile away from my desire!

I never said I wanted windows mobile anymore Sir, or I wouldn't have bought a desire hah. I said I enjoyed it besides the video player, you really don't have to defend the OS or device, I like it. I just would like a fluid video player that can play all my files standard fast with no freezing or stuttering. Any recommendations from the marketplace?
Did you convert to some another format with lower quality as well right? The 4 i've players used so far either don't recognize or will play with stuttering, ones i've used so far wouldn't even play my standard entourage rips, which aren't very high quality as is.

Pretty much anything but the stock player is quite poor at the moment. If someone could extract the Samsung one that would be brilliant.

There's nothing generally wrong with any of the 3rd party players so long as they stick to natively supported codecs. In the case of video, this is really just H264 (see here).
I rather suspect that the DivX support in Samsung and LG phones rely on an actual native application and/or libraries rather than an interpreted java application.

Just Downloaded v1 from the marketplace out of curiosity. Definately needs some help with accuracy lol
I like positive news and this is positive, WP needs to keep up the good work and listen to what we want and need, if they do then I can see them reaching their goals in 2015 but if the don't then, well... it's not good and you all know how I feel about that so I'll spare you my complaining.
The new update looks awesome..cant wait for it..And the best part is that it is totally free!

Agreed, I read some where that the dev of this app has actually been trying to get Ziggy to do more but you know MS and their damned restricted API's. I'n my opinion they need to hire this guy.
The screenshots look cool. I may dl it again.
I tried it before, and 90% of the time the response was just "would you like to do a websearch for that" or whatever it says.
I could save myself time and a couple steps by just voice-searching Bing.

I know I hardly use it my self, I'll use it from time to time to entertain my self for a few laughs but it's great to see it evolve. You have to give it to the dev of the app; he has to improve it even with the MS restrictions.
I really don't like it when developers use a panorama design and put "Settings" as a screen to swipe to. They really should put the settings in the app bar. If he only wants the microphone icon in the app bar then add the settings to the "more" 2 dots part.
Otherwise I'm looking forward to this update!

LOL, I think he did it that way because people asked him to make it more metrofied.
Much better design and definitely if Microsoft know what they doing, they would hire this dude. These are people that are ready to dedicate their full time to Windows Phone.

Then he should look closely at how MS design their panorama apps. Settings are always in the app bar in People hub, messaging, xbox live hub, calender etc
Generally when a user swipes along a panoramic screen its to see more content. Settings isn't more content. Most users don't even fiddle with it each time they launch the app unless they need to change something, so therefore dedicating an entire panoramic screen to it is bad design and not metro.
That is my opinion

It's the case with so many major app developers. It's the mindset from other OSes. That brings us to badly developed apps argument. There is always an app for what we need, if not official, a client - majority of the times. But most apps are so horribly metrofied that it's mortifying. Making apps esp free ones, is an amazing task! But then full hearted approach to match the metro concept will streamline an user's experience and they will love your app more. Else someone too choosy about how his phone looks might find distasteful breaks in his streamline experience. Most WP users gotta be choosy with UI, why else would you love this new UI so much!?
May be people here won't agree, but this is what I generally consider as a factor whether any particular app will stay on my WP. In my WM and Android days, that wasn't an issue because OS UI was ugly anyway. But can't let the UI experience be ruined just because I want some functionality of an app that I might only use once a week or once a month!
Oh this looks so much better. I'm not a big fan of how it looks right now.
I do agree with previous comments about settings. A whole screen to swipe to is uneccessary. Put it in the bar.
I can agree Ziggy looks dirty. I hope developer ask some designers to help him make ui better.
Function over finesse. It's more important to get the core working well, than to tweak the look and feel.
For the most part the real use is a 1 button deal. Make it listen. Make it stop and process.
The app without a function update was only a cool concept, but not much worked properly. Since it is a 1 person team, I am glad the focus is on getting it to function properly.
Once the guts are working properly, it can be delivered. Then, we will have a great functional app while the user interface tweaks are done. Then we will have a superb app.

[Q] flash ios

its a stupid question but anyone here can flashed ios on wildfire s ?
No.

right secured by apple.but just i asked because android and ios both have same archietecture arm so.anyways thnxs fore reply.
Why would you want that junk and boring os?
Purely from a theoretical point of view, it should be possible. I would assume that the MacOS for PC is similar in terms rights and being equally closed source and that's been hacked to work on regular Intel PC's. But then engineering it to work on different hardware is insanely difficult.
So it would be interesting if iOS was indeed ported to an Android Phone.
But if you did just want an iOS look for your phone, there are lots of apps available to do just that.

Both have ARM processors but the rest of the hardware needs to be compatible too. It takes a lot of work to make even the Android from one phone to work on another phone from the same manufacturer; porting from Apple to HTC would be cruel.
Actually some guys were doing such a project to dual boot ios with android..........but alas they were found by apple and it's lawyers..........if you want to know more google "bootdroid"
And @crossfire77 altough they run on the same architecture......but they are based on compeltely different OS's.......While Android is based on Linux,IOS is based on MacOS

i know man its boring and you cant customize it much.but it is the main challenge that why ios porting on android is impossible?.and ios is very much stable and dont have much problems and jailbreaking and unjailbreaking is so easy and it dont void warranty.people thinking are different but you people as a developer you can try it.its your job.possible what comapny says impossible.

i have used that.its stable but if anyone can remove all untranlated chinese so its better.but problem is that it has no charm like original ios.like if you htc with sense rom its like graphics are not so good as we can see in original rom.but still a good rom and closest to ios.
yeah, it's not exactly like ios...it's basically just heavily themed mod based on eohgan's CM7.2.0-RC3 rom.
there's not much left in chinese to be honest, it's only really the calendar that's still got chinese characters i think. there are some parts which are not perfectly translated though, for example, in the sound settings, where it would normally say "low battery warning", it says "low electrical quantities".
unfortunately, i'm not a dev, i wouldn't have a clue where to start with editing on this sort of level.
but i assume it's probably not too difficult a task...but again, if more people show interest, maybe one of the devs will pick it up as a project?

but i assume it's probably not too difficult a task...but again, if more people show interest, maybe one of the devs will pick it up as a project?

NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0?

Has anyone yet figured out how to either find or port the "NEW YouTube for Android TV 2.0" x86 APK to an ARM APK? We have waited over a year for a new version, yet its only for x86. It is disturbing that this new YouTube version is not available on the SHIELD TV almost immediately.

You've waited a year, you can wait some more. APKmirror is probably the place where it will show up first.

Yeah lets hope so. And no I didn't wait a year. I flashed Full Android on mine so I wouldn't have to wait for newer YouTube versions any more. It was the only reason I went to FULL Android because the Youtube for Android TV was really showing its age and crashing all the time. You pay a premium for a premium device, so you should expect a premium experience in return. Otherwise they are not doing their jobs.
What's interesting is that this youtube 2.0 UI is exactly how youtube looks like on my old and loud Xbox360!!

Yeah some say it looks like the HTML Smart TV version below. I'm not so sure until I actually see it on my SHIELD TV.

So it can't be ported to arm format?
I have this new format on my Smart TV, and it may well do away with that crappy Red Bar that pops up when you try to pause on something. But that said, the new Layout sucks donky balls. And Google can take their sweet gentels with porting it to the Shield.
Though I have to say (Even given the decentralized nature), of my Smart TV), I'm kinda shocked the OEM has even botherd. Considering the TV was sold in 2015. And, picked up about a year ago on clearance. But it was hard to say no to a 50" 3D 4k LED set. Even if the Smart TV bits of it tended to also suck.

Good question. Maybe it is exclusive to the Nexus Player. Or they are just testing it on the NP before releasing it to 3rd party devices. Who knows? Without an official statement of what's going on we can only speculate. I guess Android TV must not be very big or as important of a platform to warrant updates.
apk for arm device is available on apk mirror (v2.00.17):

Someone was looking at this threat actually was looking for some tutorial in how to port it, but google has done the work for us, we should thank them
Yeah they were working on it all along but released the x86 version first for some reason. Maybe the arm versions had a must fix first before release bug?

Really I don't like very much this new version, I don't know about you, but the app crashes when you try to type anything on video search.
No crash for me
But option to change quality video is gone:crying:
The user reviews are in the toilet as well. I'm no longer in a hurry to try it. However I can't get last year's YouTube version to not crash either. It's easily the #1 most unstable app I use by far.

I updated it and hated it and immediately rolled back to the old one. My problem is I got 2 Youtube accounts associated with my Google account. My primary account I created about 10 years ago with all my subscriptions and the G+ one it forced me to create a few years back, which I don't use.
Under the old app, it allowed me to select the account I wanted to use:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Under the new account, it won't allow me to select the account I want, and only shows the G+ account saying my other account isn't available.
I downloaded and installed it and I hated it as well... There's no rolling text on the thumbnails so you have to open each video just to read the full title... no comments as well, no add to watch later no anything good... rolling back to the old version as this one sux.

New app is ugly and slow (everything seems to require more clicks to get there).
Besides the ability to select resolution being removed, many Sony TVs lost the ability to play 4k (they locked it to a max of 1440p).
This version is going to need some work.

Do we really believe Google will be working on it??? :/
Yeah, and not only that, when I updated to the new Youtube app it used my "original" Youtube account before Google bought them out. So hundreds of my subscriptions and all my proper recommendations were missing and I couldn't recognize my own Youtube channel. It was like starting all over again on Youtube from scratch. And worse still, it wouldn't even offer me the ONLY account I ever use, yes the same one I have been using every day since Google bought Youtube, it was completely missing as an account option.
So I was forced to reset back to the original Youtube app and it immediately offered me and connected to the proper account. Is it really this hard for a multi Billion dollar corporation such as Google to code these apps?
I sort of meant someone HERE might take a look under the hood.
