Hello guys. I'm fairly new to this whole android os. it works fine for me except the keyboard is really annoying. its slow to respond. I'm not sure if the problem is a result of my phone. I have an Htc vogue running android 1.1 pls help. I really like the android platform and if I can get the keyboard to work right that'll be great.
1.1 was designed to have a hardware keyboard, if your running the latest kernel you could try overclocking and see if it makes it better for you. Android 1.5 or 'cupcake' contains a keyboard in the userspace as well we've been able to get the new HTC keyboard working on the android kernel as well. Check our posts in the last couple pages of the other android thread.

Well, I love my prophet. I know that's it's comparatively open (we can install WM6!)
So, any chance anyone can get Android working on our phone? (It'll be awesome if it's working before G1 comes out!)

Well the linux operating system works on it so am guessing that maybe andriod can support it some how any sites that's working on it?
I am no linux expert but it seems that could possibly run on most HTC devices with some kernal patching??
I think the new OS looks better than Windows Mobile and is certainly better than touchflo 3d.
I am calling on the information of all the cooks,developers and hackers on this forum to answer this, do you think it would be possible to create a ROM that boots out HTC devices into this new Android OS and therefor rid us of microsofts limited WM6/6.1 OS ??
I am all for trying if you are!
Me too. I had expected to see more questions about android. I'm setting up a linux box to see what we can do with the source! Hope to see some progress here!
I think you should follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782&page=124
The people out there are working on a working Android on the Kaiser. When finished, the Android system can easily ported to some other HTC devices (I think).
I think that Google Android is working better than Windows Mobile with TouchFlo (2d & 3d), so I hope that they finish the job soon
Wondering, with android, if it'ld now be possible to use a bluetooth keyboard. Any news or references to this subject for the HD2? Regards

if you got a keyboard, try to use and report
OK, I'll bite...
Android version 2.2
Baseband version 15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08_2
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-38116-g3af9a39-dirty
[email protected]#74
Build number 2.09.405.8 CL218634 release-keys
Software number Froyostone Clean
Browser version Webkit 3.1
Keyboard tested:
Think Outside iGo Stowaway Ultra-Slim Keyboard, testing and working under WM, part number 101867
Shows up under Bluetooth Devices in Android as "Think Outside Keyboard." After associating the keyboard with the phone, reads "Paired but not connected." Typing does nothing. And that's as far as I've managed to get.
Thats too bad.. I'm using swype atm which is also fast, or the multitouch kb, but a bt kb would be fantastic.
PROGRESS!
Okay, so it seems there are no bluetooth HID drivers included in Android by default. HOWEVER. I've managed to get this one sort-of-working-ish:
(damn forum won't let me post links. Google for Teksoft Blueinput)
Using my iGo Stowaway keyboard, I can get it to input text. But if you want it to recognise every keypress, you have to type v e r y s l o w l y. Slower, in fact, than using the onscreen keyboard. So, this software is useful as a demonstration of principle, but not suitable for day-to-day use yet.
SUCCESS!
Using HyperDroid 1.6 build, which contains Cyanogenmod 6, I was able to pair my keyboard, connect to it, and type! TYPE, I SAY!
Cyanogenmod 6, from what I've read, is the deciding factor on whether a HID bluetooth keyboard will work. In short, yes! If you have Cyanogenmod 6, you can use a HID-compatible bluetooth keyboard on your Android HD2!

what kind of bt kb are you using? brand/manufacturer?
I have a freedom iconnex HID keyboard, is there anyway to make our current froyostone rom works with HID bluetooth keyboard?
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but is it possible to run WM on an Android tablet?
At the moment I have an HTC HD2 running WM and use a load of Apps that would great on a bigger screen, EBook reader etc the problem is they are WM only.
I know nothing about Android beyond that I can get a cheap one on eBay that would do all I want if I could get WM 5+ on it.
Is this possible?
Many thanks
I'm not sure about the whole running on a tablet thing (though it's a nice idea), but one thing I have learnt, is that a lot of WM software don't do any checks on display size. My phone is WQVGA (240x400), and very few things actually use the screen correctly (mainly graphical ones such as emulators and games. ScummVM works nicely though)
my "answer" is just: WTF??? WM on a tablet....instead of android...?
and my advice is to try android a bit and you will find it very intuitive and handy and you will never wish to go back to WM
TBH I have not had the chance to play around with Android so that is good advice.
The problem is that some of the apps I need are WM only and do not look like will get an Android or WM7 update.

apps like?
there is pretty much a replacement for every app
i only didn't find replacement for SMath studio...which is a very powerful math application
since you have HD2 go to hd2 android section and try out SD card roms (not NAND roms since you will have to delete WM) and play a bit with the android SD rom and see if it suits you
EDIT: here you go, you can find and learn everything over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735
ok, i have the same question.
is there anyone out there who could give an answer?
i am a big fan of WM (have a htc touch pro) and not a big fan of my mid-tablet with android 2.1
the point ist - until android is ready to connect to ad-hoc wlan it is just *****.
so i would love to change the OS from Android to WM...
Doubt will ever be possible.
His bit a windows powered tablet.
Have anybody tried to use Skype ver 2.0 for VIDEO chat on Elocity? I have installed Skype and it works fine but I do not have a clue how to enable video.
Any suggestion?

You need Android 2.3 or Gingerbread to be able to use the video calling feature. eLocity A7 has Android 2.2 which is Froyo. That's the difference. A rom modder has to compile gingerbread android source code and as well adapt the drivers for the device for gingerbread which is a big task in itself.
So we have to wait till a rom modder takes this task and does it.

I sure the Dexter can handle that....given enough time .

Moved to proper forum.
