Then why don't you get a domain name and create a site?
he was just asking if there was a website...
because i dont feel like redownloading and cracking fireworks and dreamweaver
but in the future i might just do that and use it as turn it in as project for my web design class
btw im in the 11th grade
=]
ahh.. gives me ideass to make a theme webiste.. lol.. if you make one i'll help contribute some themes to it .. just have to wait until putting themes on your phone becomes easier for the end user that doesn't know about XDA .. and flashing .. and what the heck a Root is
It is kind of humorous.
I was in the market for a new phone and was looking at the Iphone since it came out. Three or four guys at work showed me their phones and I was hooked, damned be the Iphone's good looks.
After having my phone for two weeks I noticed that the stuff coming out on the Android Market was usefull, but since I like things like Overclocking, you know... bigger...better...faster, I stumbled onto this website about a 2 weeks before the root RC30>RC29 breakthrough. I am trying to keep up because I think this android thing is gonna be really big and I am trying to keep up.
Its been along time since I have done any difficult computer stuff, and these forums has caused me to start considering learning something about Linux.
Themes and Wallpapers will probably get alot easier in the future, but I will be able to look back and say, I remember when we used to have to do things the hard way.
Yes indeed .. the Android in a lil shy of 3 months has already made so much progress
the android system will be come soo universal that the iphone will pale in comparison unless apple changes how they go about things , hardware wise
i think the iphone's hardware is a masterpeice but, the OS is like a trainwreck
ooooo imagine an iphone with android that would be pretty badass
but anyways
the free-ness and the ubiquidocity that will become of the android system
will lead too greatness

Went from a newborn on 22 October to it's current state as a cute lil' toddler with it's own personality already in just 3 months.
Now there's root for all thanks to JesusFreke; Koush has the screenshot and autorotate browser, we've got a good collection of themes started, 190 apps on Market and 140 games.
Our lil' Android is growing up. Ahh, they grow up so fast, don't they?
you are damn right they do
well the android system anyways its like a baby on steroids and growth hormone
Hi guys...I am thinking about creating a website that will host G1 themes, backgrounds, icon sets...etc. Kinda like a one site for all G1 stuff. If I were to create this website, would I have support from the G1 XDA crew, like providing with themes and what not?
Also, I will need some people to help me run the website and stuff so if you have experience, let me know
Cheers
Sounds like a pretty sweet idea, because I have a feeling this whole thing is gonna skyrocket once the Android usage hits critical mass later this year. I'd try to contribute on such a site, no doubt.

Reasons I'd consider waiting are as follows:
1, When CupCake is released, what kind of impact will this have on the theming community.
2, Maybe wait until all themes are cross platform compatible (i.e. we don't need separate RC8, RC30, and ADP1 versions)
3, Maybe wait until the first theming program is release, so people not aware don't try to randomly flash and jack up their phone.
4, Do we really need a dedicated website already? Have we even hit the 10 theme mark yet? (Also, aren't they all in here right now anyway?)
These are just my thoughts. Others' will probably differ.
Sounds like a great idea i am down check your p.m box.
I have the recources for this web site, but i can not develope it. If someone can make the website, i can host it. P.M me for more information.
I 100% agree with Mi|enko.
Wait it out man.... the operating system is changing so fast that you don't want to waste the money. There are rumors of Google releasing a theme creator which will be available "online". (You will create your theme from Gmail.com and it will sync with your phone).
That would mean your website goes down the hole REAL quick...
So after about 2 months with the ZL I ordered me a Like New Note II on Amazon, Lost money in this:/ should had never switched. Paid 635$ for the ZL and cant even sell it for $500 Not even locally. so I`m in debt for a little til I sell this. The ZL is a GREAT Phone, I just miss the extra .5inch screen and most of all I miss samsung, I never liked Samsungs software but EVERY time I end up getting a different brand of a phone I ALWAYS end up going back to samsung always been like that since the Galaxy S1 haha.
the ONLY reason I wanted to leave was that i Was tired of samsungs software it sucks. I do love Sony`s Software.

Report it. Like I'm doing now. This isn't facebook. No one cares when you switch phones or what color shirt you are wearing today. Post something about the Note 2 and no one will give you crap. Post this pointless crap and you will get flamed. If you want to post dumb things go to off topic.

Wot? Samsung's software sucks? I wouldn't switch to AOSP just because I'll miss out on Touchwiz functionality.
Anyways, pointless thread is pointless.

This is a development site in the Q&A section ( which should be general ) meaning it relates to experiences not solely development. Also subject matter is in direct correlation to the OP. If you feel it is inappropriate content you should direct attention to a moderator, not try being one. /off topic
Maybe more explanation as to why the devices are different and reasons why you prefer one to the other would be more beneficial.

Clutter.....
This by no means is a thread for arguing or whatever.
Im so used to seeing a sticky thread with information detailed about the development of the phone. While I've seen threads on magisk and twrp can anyone give a brief summary as of what the status is of getting to the point where we can build ROMs and other stuff.
Thanks!

Not much development yet since it's relatively new. It's not likely to have a whole lot of development for the following reasons.
1. It's expensive.
2. It has duel boot partitions.
3. Android 8.0 code has become more complex, requiring a lot more time that developers probably don't want to spend a lot of time on, I don't blame them.
4. Android software has matured quite a bit that custom roms and tweaks aren't needed as much as they used to be.
5. There are other phones out there that aren't as expensive and much more Dev friendly.OP series for example.
6. Phone manufacturers are locking them down more. Samsung for example.
7. It's expensive.
8. That's my 2 pennies worth
Well for one TWRP is only in beta.
Thanks for the reply. I'm still weighing the option to root but right now I'm not sure it's worth it. Until better support comes out and more devs take it up I think it's best to wait.

Now root is working just fine, as are the custom kernels. I definitely love the ability to use TiBu, AdAway, and custom kernel tweaks :good:

Actually twrp has been out of beta for almost 2 weeks (since Dec 1st), but the thread hasn't been updated. That's a perfect example of how much attention is being paid to this phone's development.
The lack of development has been extremely frustrating since that's the main reason I bought this phone, considering most other major brands development has slowed significantly over the last 2 years or so. Looks like I'm gonna jump ship to the OP5T shortly.
I am very shocked at the lack of ROM development for the brand new next gen Nexus phone, I mean Pixel. The phone has been out close to two months now, and this is very sad to see, and isn't good for the long term for this phone. This is not aimed at the developers, just the current state of most phones having locked bootloaders, and the glory days of ROM'ing Android like a crack addict being behind us. But this being a stock Android "developer freindly" phone, this really says a lot with so little development, just depressing.
When I bought my Nexus 6P when it was announced, by month 2, development was crazy and all sort of ROM's, Kernels, and Tweaks. The good old Nexus days looks to be a thing of the past now, and the Pixel is not a Nexus.
Oh well, at least it's not as bad as the Jailbreak scene, which is all but over

TWRP officially supports Pixel 2(XL by extension) since 3.2.0
https://www.xda-developers.com/twrp-3-2-0-released-android-8-0-oreo-zips/
I'm running it now!
ALSO if you click on the downlinks on the page YOU PROVIDED you would see a download link for twrp 3.2.0 official.
You stopped one click short my guy!

Why would I try to download when the page doesn't show a new release?
Also, the TWRP thread says NOT to use 3.2
It's because 3.2.0.0 isn't running 100%. Devs are working on it. Flashing the zip gets you stuck, big time.
You know what.... You guys are totally right, I'm an idiot... I apologize!
I forgot I flashed 3.2.0 -> it didnt work -> I flashed 3.1.1 right back without even thinking lol

Heya Marvi0,
I don't think we do as of yet as the devices have only hit reviews hands so far, there are non out there in the wild, I believe they are only on pre-order as well for this moment. I've opened up a thread regarding the device here, but normally they don't go live till the devices release. (From My Humble Views). Keep checking back though, normally they say the forums have been added on the main app opening screen.
I got mine on the 23rd without being a reviewer. I ordered it on the 20th. They should be out in the wild.
Forum exists now
Thanks guys and gals, I don't mind being wrong ever. It's brilliant, glad to see things have been sorted for all I'll be on it the moment my upgrade comes time
Sorry for wasting space here, everyone. I was just wondering if the 3a XL has TWRP yet. I just ordered one and the first thing I do on a new device is install TWRP and root.
Thanks
You can root, but no TWRP yet. The 3 and 3 XL took just about a month. Shouldn't be too long now.
Troy owned a 3XL making it a sure thing for sooner rather than later. Someone with the knowledge could have made it within a fairly short time period since the work is already partially done over in flagship land:; An example would be the OP7, it already has TWRP, a half dozen ROMs, a couple kernals. I'm not saying it isn't coming to this device, it probably is given time. You do have to have someone working on it though or it never happens. Flar2 for instance has a 3aXL and thanks to him we have his kernal. This is how it works, the benefits of these various ROMs, TWRP, kernals, come from a fairly small pool of developers and if one or more of them does not pick up the gauntlet you've got handy tips on these pages but not much else.
Lets us hope that a few of them have seen the value in these devices...
Pixel 3a and XL will have TWRP.
Even the $100 Android phones have TWRP.
It is a matter of when, my guess would be within the next two weeks from now.

Seems like LOS will come for 3a(XL), so I bet we will see a twrp build soon.
Out of curiosity, because I come from a Samsung: what are the main differences between Pixel's stock firmware and LOS?
As far as I know LOS have a kind of dark mode already enabled (coming to stock with Q) and some privacy option added?
Is there anything more than this?

Out of curiosity, what makes you say it seems like we'll get LOS for the 3a(XL)? It would be a 100% buy for me if that were the case, just wasn't sure if a notable dev has picked one up and mentioned planning to do so or something and I've missed it, thanks!

Thanks! Didn't even think to check that, was thinking they seemed to be good devices for LOS but hadn't heard anything yet so now I'm hopeful.
I'm really happy when the custom roms come out
What I was trying to say gents is that this device doesn't appear to be all that popular to me. Right now there are 627 threads open on the OP7 section compared to 62 here and that phone came out after. I'm BTW not counting the advertising section called reviews which will typically have 30, 40, 50 threads for every device.. I have never seen a less active device section on this forum than this one and I go back to before android started and have had all the Nexus devices except one, all the Galaxy S and Note devices accept 2 and I'm not going to list all the rest of the random devices I've had because you get the idea. I'm not sure what this phone is doing in terms of sales volume but I am sure that if they are being sold they are not being sold to enthusiast like us because if they were those owners would be here. I think some of you folks are kidding yourselves about the amount of development that is going to go on here. This is one of those cases where I would like nothing better than to be wrong but I'm not seeing any crow eating in my future.
I certainly hope your wrong but, I am afraid as you are that this device,,,,albeit a great one,,,,isnt getting the attention by devs. I know it is still too soon to tell and all that. But, if you go off past popular devices, and how fast development sprang up since it was released, this one seems lagging. Lets hope the future is bright for this device and dev support.

I bought the not xl version- I get the same vibe you're picking up. I think it's selling, but probably not to many enthusiasts as other phones. Maybe people are buying it because they actually went to use it as a phone? I think after the nexus line crashed, I think people have looked elsewhere for development phones. I don't have a one plus phone, but they seem to release kernels and factory images, which helps development. I'm sure google will do the same.
In other news, I've built aosp and los for sargo. Full disclosure- I haven't flashed anything yet, I haven't even opened the box; so I can't say how well the ROMs run. I'm sure bonito will build just fine too. aosp just needed the drivers/binaries from the website. For los, I used the extract files script and the stock images. The point is that we seen to have ROM support already, but maybe just low interest from the modding community.
Could it be the forums aren't hopping specifically *because* there's so little dev at this point?
I'd expect it to be light when TWRP isn't even around yet. I would expect it to pick up quite a bit once TWRP drops, though.

I do wish the forums were consolidated for the two devices. Then it would seem busier . I think there would be a bit of synergy since the two devices share so much. Sorry for the OT. I'll dust off my twrp repos and see if I can cook something up.
I was surprised they didn't combine them and just have two different development sub-sections, I've been on other devices where they did that and it seemed to work well. As to the lack of TWRP or other development I don't really think that's it although it's certainly a contributor. IMO you would have many more people asking general questions as you can see everywhere else, there are a lot of people who come to XDA but don't root. It really appears the either the phone isn't in too many hands or those hands belong to those pesky non phone people.
Actually...

Dirty Unicorns has an RC out for bonito (3a XL) dated 23 May - you can grab it now. (According to IDM, it is 1.197 GB large.)
Nothing new on the TWRP front for bonito - official or otherwise.
Many of the phones out there seem to have come from a T-Mobile trade-in offer that made the devices nearly free after credits. Problem is that for most of these devices, they'll be carrier locked and in turn bootloader locked for a while. Users have resigned themselves to unrooted optimizations until these locks are gone. Hopefully development will mirror all four of the 3rd gen devices as they pretty similar.
Sargo's top of my list right now for a phone upgrade (my S4 got me thru so many years), but without TWRP and LOS I just can't bring myself to buy it.
Never done any work on android before (besides flashing of course), but I'll throw my hat in the ring and try to get a TWRP build together this weekend.
Mind if I DM ya @gee one when I inevitably get stuck somewhere?
