I'm really sad and really annoyed seeing another website that they are the first to unlock the Blueangel and the Magician, thus they are offering the service for money!!!
XDA developers, where have been, what were you doing, and what are you doing!!!!!!!?????????!
Probably doing their job of work to pay for rent and food, this is NOT a commercial site, by the way, where were you? what were you doing, why havent you done it?
SO, DON'T READ THIS SITE !
SO, DON'T UNLOCKING & HACKING YOUR DEVICE !
IF YOU DO IT, TAKE YOUR RISK.......BAH !
AND
GO TO HELL "GUEST"
SHOW YOUR FACE, PLEASE !!!!!!!. AND ME TOO.
I'm really sad and really annoyed seeing another "Guest" that does not have the balls to put a name to his words.
Well as I'm reading we can figure out that the Guest is really annoyed.
Xda developers has been the first to develop everything b4 anyone, anyway long lives the developers here and creates beyond our imagination.
I wish to see the unlock for free
Unlock fot XDA 2s
Hi,
I'm really interested in writing this tool but don't know whwere to start, I know a number of programmers who could assist.

With all due respect to all programmers in here, "Itsme" could be the right guy to your needs; That's from my point of view.
This guy speaks binary 01010101001
I think what's stopping the programmers here to develop the Blueangel unlock is that they don't own the device yet.

Dear Acer/Nvidia,
We are owners and prospective owners of the Acer A100 Tablet. However, we were very disappointed to discover that the device's bootloader will only allow packages signed by Acer to be installed, and thus also does not allow us root access to the tablet's operating system.
While we trust that the A100 will be well-supported with official updates, this tablet has the potential to be an excellent platform for development by enthusiasts as well, and we consider the ability to modify the software running on the tablet to be a valuable (or even essential) feature. The current inability of the A100 to accept custom firmware is already dissuading some from buying this tablet, and even causing others to consider returning devices that they have recently bought.
We understand that custom firmware cannot be supported by Acer, but we consider that it is our right to customise our devices in any way we wish: once bought, the A100 is our property alone to modify if we choose. HTC implemented locked bootloaders on their devices last year, but have since seen that giving users this freedom is the right thing to do, and are enabling users to unlock their devices if they so choose. This has been considered very welcome in the Android community, and we hope that Acer will do the same.
Please consider giving us the ability to unlock our tablets. We assure you that fostering a vibrant development community around the will promote sales and establish Acer's reputation in the community as an excellent and receptive supplier of mobile devices.
Yours faithfully,
The Undersigned

Sincerely,
[Your name]

Did we post on rootzwiki in the A500 forum too? There isn't a dedicated A100 forum but there's posts about the A100 anyway. Hopefully the mods will sticky it!

VERY disappointed in Acer
Guys i am so disappointed in Acer, all they do is lie to us.
Sreekanth P: Hi, my name is Sreekanth P. How may I help you?
Mike Daher: i have a few questions for you
Mike Daher: first question is there any plans to update the acer a100 to ice cream sandwich
Mike Daher: ive asked about 4 times on acers facebook and nobody will respond to me.
Sreekanth P: Mike, I understand that you are trying to get the information about Android update.
Sreekanth P: There are no blogs or community by Acer, Mike.
Sreekanth P: May I know the serial number of the tablet?
Mike Daher: hold on let me get my tablet
Sreekanth P: Okay, Mike.
Mike Daher: sn or snid
Sreekanth P: You can either provide the Serial Number/SNID.
Mike Daher: ***********
Sreekanth P: Thank you for the information.
Sreekanth P: We have verified your product SNID *********** and it shows that your product is covered under standard limited warranty.
Mike Daher: what does that have to do with my question?
Sreekanth P: Mike, the Android updates are provided by Google and they are transmitted on air. Whenever the update is available for your tablet, you'll receive the pop up.
Sreekanth P: Acer has no control over the Android updates. You'll receive the Icecream Sandwich update when it is available for your tablet.
Mike Daher: okay, then here is my second question.
Mike Daher: does acer have any plans on unlocking the bootloader for the a100?
Sreekanth P: No, Mike. There are no such options.
Sreekanth P: It's not possible to root the tablet and Acer do not recommend or Support it.
Mike Daher: sreekanth
Mike Daher: it IS possible to root the tablet. im not saying that i have i do know it is possible however.
Mike Daher: i feel like your not giving me correct information
Mike Daher: Software updates are not ONLY from google. Google releases the software and its up to ACERs discretion to release an update or not for their device
Mike Daher: as for unlocking the bootloader.. it IS an option
Mike Daher: but acer so graciously denies letting the consumer unlock the bootloader easily like HTC does.
Mike Daher: therefore making software developers reverse engineer the software on your tablet. (btw the acer a500's bootloader is unlocked)
Mike Daher: now im not trying to be a jerk but you really should know your information if your JOB is support..
Mike Daher: have a good day.
You have disconnected.
I am Mike obviously..
oh and i signed the petition. Smart move OP thank you

Hi all,
I think it would be great if some guides to do certain things like downgrading firmware or turning S-OFF to have screen shots because somebody like does not know what to enter in each step because in command prompt you need to set a directory when you want the command to work. It would be great for everyone to follow instructions. Just like the HTC Dev Unlocking Bootloader website where they show photos with a screenshot on what to do next.
I know that storing images into a server can use up a lot file but I think this would be a great idea.
If you want to write a guide to doing those things with screenshots, all power to you I am not sure how this relates to XDA, its not like they have ever phone ever made available to them todo guides for, and each phone is generally slightly different.
As far as hosting, even photobucket will do the job nicely.

The guides that are posted are done so with the point of learning what to type where. Modding your phone is not something to do because you think it is cool. IT carries real risks. Remember this is a development site. Not a How To site. If you want to do this as stated above feel free. Just keep in mind that it is expected that when you attempt to do anything to rewrite the vase OS of your phone that you have done the proper research and thought about it long and hard.

"Modding your phone is not something to do because you think it's cool"
XDA has more than 3 million members who would disagree with you on that. What is not cool about rooting and modding your device?
"Remember, this is a development site, not a how to site"
Not entirely true. While XDA's main purpose is to provide a forum that encourages developers to be creative and share their hard work with the community, developers include detailed instructions on "how to" install/flash a ROM or MOD. XDA is also about teamwork, and encourages experienced members to guide new members in the right direction.
"Just keep in mind that it is expected that when you attempt to do anything to rewrite the vase OS of your phone that you have done the proper research and thought about it long and hard."
Not sure what there is to think long and hard about. Most people are here because of the freedom and flexibility the Android platform has to offer. Rooting and modding is not rocket science, nor heart surgery; but rather fun and interesting. I think it's safe to assume that most people who come here, do so to test the limits of their devices, while adding customizations that express who they are. For every mistake made by an inexperienced member, there is usually a workaround to remedy the issue.
While XDA encourages members to read, read, and read some more before attempting to root or mod, it's not done to discourage people from modding/rooting but rather a "proceed at your own risk" approach to prevent inexperienced members from flooding and overwelming the developers with support questions when something goes wrong.
My point is that rooting and modding is fun; A LOT of fun, and very interesting. The ability and freedom to customize your device to your liking, while increasing the performance, and pushing your device to the limits is what made XDA what it is today; One gigantic family of people who share a common interest.

Hey guys, I posted this under android development a while back and it didn't get any attention. I was wondering if any of you could recommend me to a website or video series on learning to develop for android. I have some knowledge in Java and I want to start developing for android.
Thanks!
Sent from my GNex running gummy v0.7.0
I'm sure there may be videos. But i used the tutorials given by google on the android dev site like the hello world tutorial and others. And if you just google android app dev tutorials you get enormous amounts of tutorials on how to write apps such as layouts, splash screens, etc. It took me about a week to get something basic going and 1-2 months to get something a little more complex. But i had a bit of college code courses. I just consumed every tutorial out there is the only way to really get it.
Thanks, but unfortunately i am in the 8th grade and at my level there is not much in the way of courses at my public schools.do you have any other sites you might recommend? I will defiantly check out the "android dev site" as well.
thanks again!
Well i only had one class of c++, but it helped tremendously. You can research online for equivalent help. Its a lot of work though. Honestly i read a million tutorials, there wasnt one single site. Just start reading everything you see is the only way. It will be sliw and tough at first but will get better quickly. Just install eclipse from android dev, then follow the hello world tutorial and install your first written app to your phone. Its very easy.
This list might help:

Hello my Friends,
The time has really come to say Good Bye to all my Wonder Friends. I enjoyed and had a good time with all of you by learning/porting stuff.
I8150 is really a nice phone, but I needed to shift from this phone due to some reason.
Long story short, I spent half of my life in coding, leading teams of software engineers, managing enterprise level ERPs and architecting enterprise level application in all the latest and old languages/technologies. I took out some time and did some porting stuff, but my main target was to develop CM7 from sources.
I have most experience in Java/J2EE and less in C++. I tried to take help from different peoples but my bad luck no one guided me due to lack of time or just for no reason.
Not only from our forum I tried to contacted Exihibit II , Galaxy S Plus but I didn't get positive response, whatever the reason is but no one guide me. I searched myself and read a lot of material on net but not a single guide is perfect. There is no problem with Linux setup, I am use to of it.
I believe in Opensource and helping each other by spreading/sharing knowledge but in my case I couldn't search a person like this.
So I decided to switch (just not for CM7) to a device that have a lot of custom roms.
The porting I did is an asset for all of you. I want the guys should come up and take over the Roms from me. I hope you enjoyed my custom roms. If there is anyone who has some programming experience with smali/backsmali, apktool, understanding rom folders, hands on on merging /diff, ready to take risk of bricking then I will be happy to transfer my knowledge, but due to my tough schedule the person should be expert and self starter.
And finally I would like to special thank @arco, @andyroid, @irishpancake and All my Wonder community members.
Thank You All
i wish i had enough knowledge cuz i really wantd to learn from you but im just a noob at these stufff
but i hope u have a better experience with your new device

Hi Ali dsd,
Please stick around as there's no one place or person to obtain this building -information in a reliable and complete form that we're looking for. I too got burnt similarly and still am in process of setting my own build environment based whatever that seemed to work for me from my captures from various blogs, forums and sites.
It's from open minded contributors like you that, when collectively packaged, would effective stuff come and came from. While I respectfully disagree this to be a reason for departure which is quite an expected risk with any open source stuff, I think your presence and continued contribution would benefit others looking to go along your route, though your participation might be less active than earlier.

Don't worry @andyroid, I am not going from XDA, I will be around , I will be checking W forums ( I haven't deleted it from my Fav ) time to time.
Amazingly my new device is not a high end device, Its just Nexus S. I think you will ask why ????
It will save my time . ... How ???? Mostly all types of Rom flavors are there, I just need to flash and use it, and the time I save from here can put on getting some certifications (like PMP, J2EE Architect and MCPD ). Its my decision and it doesn't mean that Nexus S is superior then Galaxy W.
Believe me or not but Galaxy W is an amazing device based on hardware it uses and the small size is very pocket friendly.

I am always here, i can be reached on PM or email.
I have already said that anyone who have some knowledge in porting can contact me , i will happily transfer my knowledge, because sharing knowledge is the major path to increase knowledge and community, but the person should have some experience.
I want someone to continue MIUIv4 and AOKP, or if someone come-up with their own porting version of any Rom then please ask Mod to delete my two threads.
I really appreciate all of your feelings.
Thanks,

HI alidsd, I understand you, cause I have your same motivation on developing. I studied information tecnology, so I have some knowledgies, but I'm new with android and I'm trying to do somenthing with my rom. I have your main target, build cm7 from source, but as u said there isn't a guide that really help in this, and for me is difficult to begin with it.
So now I have begininng to first port some mods to a gb rom, then to learn how to create a kernel and to port a complete rom. After these steps I like to begin cm7 from source, but I know is really hard.
I also have to say that it is demotivating to see there aren't much developers for our phone, that we haven't ICS from Samsung and at this time we haven't a complete ICS rom, while there is a new android version so probably i never work on cm7, too old...and for this, i was thinking it was better if I took a nexus s....however i can't change phone for now, so i continue to study and develop for my W...but in future the only phone i'll buy should be a nexus or a phone with more contribute from community...
Goodbye Ali and good luck with your new phone

i was motivated by your words Alisd, i really was serious and dreamed to learn more about android, i wanted to try what bagux was doing but i ain't got enough time for it. i was amazed and never imagined that a person whose managing software engineers also tried tweaking our W XD i'm just a beginner software engineer about 6months old on work and specialized in VB and for some reasons i can say i also am at Cobol, i was still trying to learn now despite of the schedule i have and i am starting it on making android apps for now and maybe tweaking in the future. can i ask what company are you working?
UPDATE
UPDATE
I got rid of Nexus S and bought HTC Desire S. Most of you will be wondering Why ???, a lot of reasons. if anyone have interest to know then he can PM me.
I would suggest guys not to go for Nexus S now, its not a good time, it could be debatable but its my personal opinion. All of the Roms that are available for NS are also available for DS.
At last Galaxy W is a good phone, so please stick with it till you find a better phone according to your needs.
Because I have been part of this community so I thought that I should update my community.
Thanks,
I am glad to read opinions about me, you are all wonderful people.
@irishpancake, I am really concerned about your health , please take care, and update your health status so our community can pray for you. God bless on you.
I am happy to see that Alex (from Galaxy S+) has ported MIUIv4 successfully , and I hope he will also port AOKP and other CM9 based Roms from S+ to W.
Its great, I believe :
