Manila 3d development - Touch Cruise ROM Development

Hi everyone!!!
This is not intended to be an offensive or criticising thread, i just would like to have some information:
Will the manila 3d development project be started again? In other words, will there be a working manila 3d in future?
I was really surprised because there is already a version of this wonderful interface and i think we are just a little step away from having a fully working TF3D!!
I am an absolute noob and have no idea of how developing works, but i'm trying to learn

Lots of good ROMS: how to choose?

Hi everyone and thanks to all the coockers that are working on new beta roms for our Polaris.
I've read all the 3d about the different coockers/release and I can say for me it's not easy to try all of them.
It's also difficoult to stay updated on every release news, fix and so on.
For me would be VERY USEFULL a 3d in which summarize avery release with all the caratheristics, positive and negative fatcs and so on.
What did you think about it?
Bye
HELLO i agree with you..
It's a good idea, but I'm not sure you'll find a quick reply.
The main trouble with the Touch Cruise is it's limited implementation globally. With the only US supporters having to import it, and the high price pretty much everywhere, I've noticed the general Polaris "community" isn't nearly as positive or helpful as the Kaiser thread community is. That doesn't mean EVERYONE is a jerk, but it's frustrating to have come from a device and forum where there were tons of people with a positive attitude, all sharing ideas. Here, it seems like most people just ***** about the device they bought, with only a few people (most in the upgrading forum) looking to make the most of it and improve it.
I've been waiting for someone to release a Diamond rom that would work on the Touch Cruise, simply because I like the analog clock look. But I don't have any real interest to force Office 2007 on myself, as I've used the app and don't see any real improvements over Office 2003. But this post isn't about which version of MS software is best.
Anyway... here's hoping the gurus of this forum stay upbeat, keep up the good work, and someone can "port" the Diamond VGA driver to the qVGA device. On the surface, it seems like a simple idea. But you have to wonder if the video chipset in the Polaris just isn't all that without more horsepower behind it, and maybe a better screen. Maybe that's why the Diamond is the new king of the pile. I'd love to upgrade to it, but just having bought my Polaris in Feb. or so, it will be a LONG time before I can justify ANOTHER new device.
Anyway, my compliments to the masters for all they do, and best wishes to those with a pretty cool phone!
My request is only trying to make an unique post in which all the coders can list their ROMS with the list of apps inlcuded and positive and negavite facts.
So when a new owner of the device came here can choose without loosing his mind in looking for informations in thousands of post.
That's all here....
Bye

its a good idea. but comparing various roms is a full time job and i'm afraid not many people have that kind of time.
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373233 has been around for a while with a list of Roms, I think thats the best you are going to get, it's just updated when it can be as far as I can tell but its came in usefull for me. Not sure if you missed it but it's been on the first page for a while. Unless I've missed the point and it's something else you are after?
The polaris is a good device and I've found help and support on these forums but its still quite new. I upgraded from the XDA Orbit and thats only been out just over a year I think, a lot of people bought in to 18 month contracts and so wont be upgrading for a while. I'd just bare with it and if you are unsure of anything, just ask.
My favourite ROM at the moment is Bepe's just because it's win 6.1, fast an clean then I've modified it to the standard I want by adding apps and tweaks. I've tried other roms but they are all at such early stages of development that a lot of them aren't really practical for day to day use as they can be very flakey. This won't last forever though.

Is anyone working on porting the drivers?

I wanted to know if anyone of the great ROM-Cookers or somebody else is working on porting the Kaiser 3D drivers to our polaris?
No driver port yet, moderator attention required !!
There are few threads out there on this topic. I even asked udK if he has the skills and time to implement this into his ROMs ... waiting for his reply.
I also wanted to start a poll on Donation for Kaiser's video driver port, but noone seems to second that, yet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2446896&postcount=628

You also asked udK in his brandnew GER R5 Diamond ROM, where I also thought it would get more attention

hi,
i support you in any way, but
first of all it makes more sense to let the developers finish the drivers for the kaiser, as there is no official 6.1 update for the polaris yet.
the fully drivers takes more time to develop and as soon as they got nearly finished, its maybe the time the polaris gets its official 6.1 update.
the official update is somewhen in august expected.
this is a developers forum and you can do with your time what you want, so feel free to investigate time in porting the htcclassaction.org driverset to polaris.
dont forget to contribute some respect for the real developers behind the drivers.

i try to report it updates as fast as possible. its a sticky. all who are intresetd in this issue to solve can read.
threads gets long if its popular and since no developer took the initiative to make the driver compatible with the polaris i will further report the kaiser status.
Thanks for your reply manaaa
Thank you for your reply and also especially for updating your thread on this issue

You as a senior member probably know much more on this development than any other Polaris user within this forum.
You are perfectly right on letting the developers finish for the Kaiser first. Do you have close connections to the original developers or do you update from the Kaiser forum? I do have serious respect for these developers.
The thing is users get really confused and contents get obscured/not managable to follow up on this in different sub-forums. That is why a sticky thread in "Polaris upgrading etc." section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=399 is useful from my perspective.
I tried to forward other threads towards yours. However this really needs a developer/ moderator attention.
Unfortunately my coding skills are not good enough for really contributing to this except trying to focus and channel the requests to get a critical mass towards this.
The drivers from Kaiser Forums are not working with the official Polaris (o2 orbit 2) WM 6.1 ROM!!!!
A member of the ppc-welt.info community had access to the offical beta of the polaris ROM and he tested the driver version from the 22. of july.
I hope the version from the 29. July will work!!!
thanks
P.S. do you think porting will be made by a cooker or can only the guys from htcclass.org port it to our polaris?
Any news about it?

hi,
sure it would be better to open a single thread that has the port-from-kaiser attention.
i'm actually just keeping you updated in the general polaris forum.
i'm in no relation with the real developers behind these drivers, but as an informatics student i recommend to wait for a full driver they develope. i for my own dont want to re-invent the wheel while modifying.. but in other aspect it could maybe help the real developers.
in the case there are some genius polaris developers out there and want to look into the issue kaiser-port..feel free to share your knowledge!
as nushrike answered me .. 'get a ddi from kaiser working' then it could/would/should work. but that is cooker-related.
i for my own tried to cook some stuff and it made me nuts sometimes. im just too busy to investigate more time in it. as a sidenote, you may see some usefull app with alot features in the hacking and development section soon. but even this lil project has no priority.
im aware of the beta-tester in the german ppc community and asked chainfire for what files we would need to look into, but no response yet.

Has XDA Abandoned Android on the HD?

Hi all,
The Android/Linux wiki is awasome and was making some fantastic progress, (all bar the *****ing and whining in some later posts and disussions) It would be fantastic if we could get a good team on the case!
Tux hero has started a new thred but has moved on to his own site Android Kernel which is hopefully looking promising.
It would be a shame to see the Blackstone Linux Wiki to go to waste after such fantastic progress was made!

[Q] How to make an android rom for the hd2

I'm pretty new to this. But i would like to learn to become a good android chef, so I'd like to know what programming language is required cook your own android rom for the hd2, and for other devices as well. Can somebody show me to a good thread that would help me out with this? thanks!
It's like the first forum of all forums but here's the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613
Good Luck!

[Q] HD2?

I am an active Dev in the Vogue android forum (just look)
I'm jholtom
I am thinking about getting an HD2 for Development and other fun stuff.
Is it a good dev phone and such?
Would I find a transition from Vogue to HD2 smooth or difficult in terms of rom cooking?
Thanks
jholtom
Well WinMo cooking has kind of died off when android appeared. And now that WP7 is available too, you can expect WinMo to be less popular.
Onto topic, yes it is a fun dev phone. If it weren't, we couldn't have had android and WP7 on our phones so fast. (Thank you DFT )
ok great that means i should assimilate quick with all the activity
I may be a new Dev on HD2 soon
1) You are trying to mention that you're developer in a lot of your post, you think that would save you from beeing called to use search etc? Which moves be to 2 and 3.
2) Use search, read forums, you will find lots of information on development etc na dwould see that HD2 is really good for it.
3) Learn to name your topics "[Q] HD2" is obviously better then usual "please help" that people post, but still far from "[Q] ROM cooking on HD2 compared to Vogue"
PS your only thread as "Dev" has only 1 url to build which is broken and leads to this url is invalid or file was removed.
I have a working espresso build as well as a froyo sense build for the vogue as of now neither has been done. I have just not finished posting all of them yet.
I also have a successful Miui theme and setup for the vogue.
I am in the middle of Exams and have not been able to release my roms yet
