Any devs out there I think this would be a great project and I am willing to donate. Maybe rather than code from scratch it could be ported the Windows Mobile version?
Yong Zhang, developer of -oid emulators (Gensoid, Snesoid, etc) currently working on one. Here is his replies to my question about it:
May 24:
"Not me alone. I am working closely with ZodTTD, the developer of psx4iphone "
"Should be in a month or shorter."
wow, that's great. finally people are moving from iphone platform to android! hurray!
Here's a article from Droid Gamers with some Screenshots

has there been any beta releases or anything for testing purposes? this looks very very promising!
Android 2.1 vs. Sony Ericsson Android 1.6
When the X10 is released, it will be released with Android 1.6. We will take advantage of the additional
possibilities of Android 2.1 during the life of X10 via upgrades.
One objection you are going to encounter when presenting the X10 is: „Why does your X10 only have
Android 1.6 installed on it? The latest version is 2.1! It looks outdated!”
We all need to be prepared and knowledgeable about the differences in order to deal with the dealer's
concerns and provide them with understandable answers for their customers.
In order to do this, we first need to understand the differences between standard Android 1.6 and Android
2.1. They are:
• Integration of digital Zoom and support for LED Flash
• Support for Microsoft Exchange Active Sync (Contacts and e-mail)
• Bluetooth 2.1 support for OPP (Object Push) and PBAP (Used to transfer contact
information to a hands free)
• Live Wallpapers (Animated HTML based wallpapers)
• Multi touch support
• HTML 5 support
• Richer contact information and possibilities to integrate social network data.
However, the version of Android 1.6 installed on the Sony Ericsson X10 is not a standard. Sony Ericsson
has developed and enhanced it in many areas. So let’s have a look at the real difference
X10 1.6 Specs:
1.Cyber Shot camera with digital zoom and flash, face and smile detection easy to use cyber shot interface
2.Moxier client pre-installed
3.OPP is integrated into x10 out of the box and PBAP will be part of update
4.Live wallpapers will be part of an update
5.HTML 5 will be part of update, currently no consumer relevant website is using HTML 5
6.Sony Ericsson TIMESCAPE
I got this data I liked to share with all of u we X10 users are some how equal to Android 2.1 we should demand for 2.2 Update not for 2.1....
Now you're talking. I have been campaigning from the beginning to get people to ask for the 2.2 and not the 2.1. Ever since that petition was being passed about. Everyone thought I was crazy to push for it. I gave up trying.
However, I would say that the 1.6 will look outdated because the 2.2 is out and not the 2.1!
Also, the Timescape has it's issues. To the point that I have it removed from home screen and do not use it. And, there has been plenty of mention in regards to Timescape being related to the battery issue.
And, where is the flash for the camera? I have a light that I can manually turn on and off, but no flash. I am pretty sure this is coming with the 2.1
And, where did you hear there are no consumer relevant websites run HTML5?
I also thought there was a WIFI enhancement on the 2.1
The only problem now is that we have beat SE over the head for the 2.1. So I don't know what are chances of getting the 2.2 on this device, but I do not think they are good.
well like se added 2.1 features to 1.6,
lets expect that they add 2.2 features like flash into android 2.1....
will be a better option..
Here is a quote about the first web site I checked, Daily Motion.
"Another video titan that is fighting back against plugin prisons is DailyMotion. The popular streaming video website has launched an open video pilot program, providing a new beta version of its site that uses the HTML 5 video element to play content. As part of the pilot program, DailyMotion reencoded 300,000 videos with the open source Ogg Theora codec. Unlike many common video formats, Ogg Theora is not encumbered by known patents. It can be used and reimplemented freely without having to pay licensing costs."

I'm all for open source, and would love if every site with flash content changed it to HTML5, but Ogg Theora is no better than Flash...It's unreliable and uses a significant amount of resources.

There are few things worth remembering:
1. No consumer has launched any HTML5 versions as anything other than betas or previews.
2. HTML5 is not a ratified standard, it's a draft. Which leads me on to the next point.
3. The video tag is just that, a tag. It doesn't dictate which codec or container you should use. Currently there are 2 1/2 players: h.264, webm and ogg/vorbis.
H264 is backed up by Apple, so I expect it to have atleast some traction. WebM is backed by Google, meaning YouTube supports it. I'm not familiar with any big names backing OGG but I'm sure there are others beside FSF.
H264 is a great format but sadly it's encumbered by patents as well as a royalty fee which might pose a problem in the future whereas WebM is a royalty-free project. So personally I'm leaning towards WebM coming out as the big "winner" in this battle.
Ranting aside, putting all ones hope into HTML5 as it stands right now is a little risky as it's subject to change and hasn't been locked down yet. Every major player in the web browser business supports the tag currently, including Android as of version 2.0 or 2.1 (can't be bothered to wikipedia it). So the support for it is universal and once a standard has been ratified we can expect it to be adopted by all major video sites. Until then flash is king and luckily the biggest video-site, YouTube, has both iOS and Android apps for it so we can atleast watch LOLcats and FailBlog.

ABC and CBS have both confirmed that they will be dumping Adobe and going with HTML 5. Only bad news might be that they might charge like itunes to view content.
The door is starting to swing wide open.
Not only will X10 get the 2.1 upgrade, it will also get the 2.2 Upgrade. I have a close friend who works at SE (Senior Figure) and that information is supplied by him. No dates are forthcoming at the moment. So please don't bombard this Post asking for dates.
Found some information to confirm this posted back in Mar 10:
http://phandroid.com/2010/03/10/xperia-x10-to-get-android-2-1-then-2-2/
Hope this helps you all..
well all get android 2.2 when the great devs give us custom roms, which will be long before se get it to us!

You misunderstood me; HTML5 = Good, Ogg = Bad. Check out this link as to why Flash is not going away for at least another few years...

Yarboo for Android is now released. I'm afraid to say I've put a minimum charge on this but will see how it goes i hope you don't mind me promoting via XDA.
I originally developed ‘Yarboo’ for Windows Mobile and XDA users back in August 2009. My aim was to make a fast and touch friendly version of the classic dice game that I would enjoy playing. Since that original release it's been downloaded over 30,000 times and had great reviews and feedback.
The game is now available for Android and includes features such as…
>Accelerometer support for dice rolls.
>Redesigned Interface.
>Upgraded High Score screen.
>Built in Help.
Will be adding multiplayer in the near future.

flippin sweet man. used to use winmo and yarboo was the first app that was always installed after a new rom was flashed. spent 3 weeks in europe playing that lol.

Hey guys,
Just posting to raise awareness of Cornerstone and finding out if it's possible at some point to work on it for this device?. I used it on ICS on my Acer A500 and it ran great! The Nexus 7 would run brilliantly imo.
For those who don't know what it is, it is a great TRUE multitasking app for Android OS...you can see a demo of it Here
It seems Cornerstone was the next big thing up until February when Cyanogenmod announced they would be integrating it into cm9 (which appears to have never happened?) now it seems to have died off...
I know the Nexus 7 & Jellybean are both new and most devs will be focused on porting all their previous work over and working out any compatibility\tweaking for at least the next few weeks, but if somebody is interested in building a ROM with cornerstone baked into it that would be pretty amazing!
For more info, hit up http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/index.php where you can find the open source code, github and further details about Cornerstone.
Hoping it interests somebody enough to give it a solid shot!
Cheers
Hm, I hadn't heard of this before. Sounds neat!

I used the Team EOS Cornerstone ICS nightly builds on the Xoom. Loved it but found it conflicted too much with my 3rd party launcher and crashed some apps, but it was great on a 10" screen. Can't quite see the utility on a 7" screen...I just used floating apps like Overscreen and Stick it for multi tasking.
However, it would be fun to see all the development that can happen on this device...if you build it, I will probably try it.
Havent seen this before. I am a software developer, once my Nexus comes in, i will check whats not working with it. Is the source code anywhere?

Have not heard of Overscreen or Stick it, will have a look at them thanks! Have not got my N7 yet so can't comment on size, was just a thought since I thought Cornerstone had so much promise.

I found the source on their site https://github.com/Onskreen/cornerstone
Last commit was in February which happens to coincide with the last news articles about it....possibly abandoned?
Can't hurt to look into it at least, thanks for showing interest!

Looks like it might be here "soonish" :victory: I hope he can figure it out
Sorry I can't post links...
I would love to see a ROM with this!
Looks like they haven't officially ported it to JB yet...
I am trying to start developing for android, and if I do ever release a ROM, one of my goals is to have cornerstone in it.
Hi:
I'd really like to see this work on the Nexus 7.
Tom
Hope this will work as soon as possible.. Or are there other methods for controlling a media player with using navigation of google maps? i dont want to switch apps, OSD of media keys or cornerstone would be perfect

Please someone tell me that this is not dead yet.....
apparently the reason CM dropped cornerstone is because google doesn't like multiwindow and threatened them
http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/samsung-adds-multi-window-despite-threat-from-google-2012109/
"In a conversation with Steve Kondik on Google+, Hackborn commented that if the team started making CM behave in a fundamentally different way than stock Android, they were going to need to start doing things to prevent CM from impacting the Android app ecosystem."

I actually saw all that drama... does not explain why they were good with samsung doing the same thing that cornerstone does. CM should reconsider.
Has anyone looked at the feasibility of porting this to JB or is it currently dead in the water?

I am willing to offer up my nexus 7 with around the clock availability to testing.
Lets get this project rolling!
I'm guessing CM is the place to start.
Hi there,
just to keep this alive, is there any serious progress with Cornerstone for the Nexus 7 (especially the 3G version) yet? Would love to have Multi Window on my device!
Onskreen announced today Cornerstone 1.0 supporting Jelly Bean
Sources are available here:

So, now the question is "any developer who's willing to add Cornerstone to a custom Nexus 7 rom ?"
Dear developers and fellow s4 users,
I recently got my hands on a s4 and would like to kindly push your attention on a awesome project I am following since a while. The project is called Maru OS and it turns your phone into a pc running Linux when attached to a monitor. In daily use it runs android aosp and since a few weeks it is build on lineageos as well (hence ports should be a lot easier). Right now there are already ports for nexus 5 and 5x, HTC 10, lg g5 ... existing.
I am sadly not a developer and lack the skills to code but I wanted to make a little shoutout and were hoping to attract someone's attention in order to port maruos for our lovely device
Here you find the homepage:
http://maruos.com/#/
Here the google dev group
https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/maru-os-dev
On YouTube you'll find some beautiful vids of maru is in action.
On github you can find all the sourcecode.
What are you're thoughts?
Have a lovely day
Wow, the project seems pretty intersting would love to see that for our s4
didnt convience me
That's a pity but thanks for your great lineage OS builds
