Petition For Android Section On XDA(Please Read and Sign)

Hello Everyone,
I would like to applaud DZO, Mssmison, Vilord, fOObar, Zenulator, SrWalter and any other prognators of the Android Port for a couple different HTC devices. Its a growing concern that we are clogging up the sections dedicated for the WinMo versions of these devices with our Android porting threads. Its been a nice place for us to research and discuss the Android ports for our phones but I must confessed that its getting cluttered in there. I was proposing that we have a new section opened up for Android Porting and subsections for each model of phone that WIP has begun and is usable.
With this implemented in the XDA forums, I believe that there will be more spotlight on the accomplishments so far and open the road for speedier developments on the Android Porting field so that we have more options in the future for which OS we run on our smartphones instead of the one shipped by the manufacture.
I believe in Android on being the next dominent platform for mobile OS due to its lightweight nature, open-sourced, multi-device configurations and powerful tools that come from Google and the beloved community of developers here. I see in the next year Android sales topping those of the crappy Blackberry OS, the cool yet non-functional iPhone OS and the oldschool inadated Windows Mobile OS.
All you have to do is reply to this thread just saying you would like to see this happen.
Thanks Everyone,
Tallnerd
P.S.
Please dont use this thread for FAQs or medium talk.

heck yeah dude this is the best thing to come to the vogue!

Hahahaha, thank you all for your support in this project and so far the progress is good so please keep up the good work and sign your name.

Would be great to have a section for Android dev - anything to help keep the development momentum going.

+1 An Android Section would be great.

Yes, a MUCH needed thing. The ports are great, but for a month it seems like they have dominated the Vogue section

I totally agree. It's stepped away from normal development and taken on it's own life.

+ 1, would help cross-furtulize development and respondto commen user questions ..

This is it?? Come on people, we need to get more signatures than this.

I whole-heatedly agree! +1
Has anyone directly contacted the admin(s)? I feel like the popularity of the multiple development threads is proof enough that an Android division of the Vogue section would be worthwhile.

I agree, but I also think that as well as a general section we need a "Vogue Android Development" subforum like the native android devices have.

+1 to dzos suggestion. +1 to a new forum space as a whole.
just my +2.

The Feature Request Thread

In an effort to help cut our clutter down, this thread should be used for all general feature requests.
First request:
Use the other forums for non-develop related posts.
Second request:
Aosp ported to the eris.

^^ This ^^
A proper tutorial for changing splash1 - DONE
A proper tutorial for boot animations -- including all the ins and outs of image creation/format, programs that are used, and a more complete description of desc.text and how to use it.
I'm all for helping out on those as well pm if anyone would like to exchange info before creating a nicely formatted thread based how to. I'll prolly drop in to chat at some point when I get time too.
PS: I think we should start putting our how-to threads in the general section to avoid people posting randomness in the development section. Since at that point we should be doing minimal development anyway and development related conversation could still take place in the proper forum. Also this could be put in the general forum once people catch on.
All those in favor say Aye.

somebody please make a better dialer... It is the bane of my existence

aosp
Forgive my ignorance, but what is aosp?

theme development
now that we have root has anyone taken a shot at a skin for eris? maybe port some of the wicked cool stuff they have working on the hero side? tons of notification bars, clocks, rosie scrollers...and so much more...just excited to see where our devices can go.
To the devs, thanks for all your effort. For those who are impatient ect just know these guys n gals have work, school, families ect and all they do for us is on their own time...so that being said be courteous and thankful and most of all patient...development has to well...develope....

AOSP is the Android Open Source Project, which is the latest open version of Android, Codenamed Eclair at this time. Its roughly the same as Android 2.1 release.

My Requests
All HTC Widgets including the new ones from the desire/ legend (Friendstream, RSS Reader, Today in History etc.)
Re-skinned Sense Bottom Bar (Some Hero Roms have a rectangular one rather than the curved one we have)
Speed/ Battery Optimization

speech to text

A larger camcorder resolution would be nice, at least the resolution the phone runs in. Also an overclocked processor.

Could anyone see about Using Dialer One as the default dialer app? Like when you press "PHONE", Dialer One comes up instead? That would be great.

Question On Android Coming To HD2

If android does come to the HD2...will they also be able to bring the android market and google sync with? So u can have all the apps that android provides?

Let me get into my time machine and find out for you.
brb.

There is a Q&A forum for this kind of threads. And looks like an Android Development forum for HD2 is on it's way

It would depend on the app and the hardware that it might need to use. Android when ported to a phone it was not intended not all the hardware works or works perfectly.

Samsung Wave Android Port Any Chances ?

hey now that the bada zone is finally open i just wanted to know if there is any chance to port android to the wave i mean bada runs on linux so there must be a way.
i just want to know it for a friend that hate hes phone now coz of bada haha
i mean i have lgp500 with droid so i am happy if somebody got anynews please do report thx.

If you had some devs, who were ready to work on that project and if they found possibilities to have an breaktrough in to the Bada/Wave system, it would be possible to port Android to the Wave. But it still needs a lot of time and work to have an usable Android port. Some tried it some already resigned.
At the moment there are no big plans or progresses in this way.
By the way many smartphones/tablet OS runs on a Linux kernel. But it doesn't mean that they are similar to each other or that Bada is similar to Android.

Not to mention that the current bada phones don't use Linux for a kernel, but NucleusRTOS (as part of SHP). There is nothing in common with today's Android phones!
The JetDroid project is much closer.

There is already a thread open discussing this matter *HERE* so please post there as 2 threads talking about the exact same thing isnt productive to your goal.
Thread closed.
Mark.

[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
