October 6th:
Im working on the website now for us. I'll be changing this thread from "gauging interest" to the "development thread" for users of the portal to post comments and such on this thread.
a good idea my friend, but a question:
A webpage containing info for herald users, or a kind of startportal with links?
If so, that is a good idea, because there is portals, like htc's one, but it sucks big time, there is never any new stuff there, and the links provided is not so good.
I have done alot of webdesign myself, but im a better graphics designer then a coder so if you need help, just say so
Great idea, am also a web page designer and would be glad to update the page with new links as they found.
A few basics to start with would be good such as:
blogs in mobile version (engadgetmobile,gizmodo,msmobiles,modaco...)
not sure if its possible but some sort of e-mail client would be nice such as google has done with their homepage.
ofcourse you can't forget to add your fav vidz for the week or month (or atleast what you would type to search cuz everyone uses their own means for viewing videos)
of course everyone would love to see some apps on there (i'm guessing if this became widespread you could only add freeware)
the main one would be a link to the herald forum here on xda dev (im sure i ain't the only who would use this)
Thats all I can think of now, keep us updated and I'll b glad to help with anything that I can.
Great idea btw
cheers
Yes, more of a portal idea.
I'll get to work on it tonight!
Please share links you believe would be of value to have in this portal.
Suggestions anyone?

I second those ideas! Joystiq.com blog would be awesome.
I can offer you webspace so you don't have to use your school's server. I can also register a domain. Let me know if you need anything. Send me a PM and we can discuss things. Good idea you have there.
id like to built a small, only herald based forum. if you got a webspace with php imma do my best to get a fresh designed mobile device board

Sounds good man!!!
Can you rigester .com's?
In this event, I'd like to leave suggestions open for website ideas..
www.HTCPortal.com?
Whats nice is, this could be used by ALL browsers of XDA, not just us Herald guys.
Tha1nonly,
If you would like to design a forum that will run in 320x240 that we can post messages from our device, that would be AWESOME! Let me know what you plan on doing with that, and I'll be sure to include the link in my portal.
Yes, of course. Send me a PM
Okay so I see people on here are getting into twitter. So don't know if someone wants to create a new twitter profile who can update news on the hero. I for one would be a follower. Oh and if your not into twitter try it out it's the new facebook.
so no one wants to do this? (sorry for the bump)
How about you doing it?
True but I don't have the time and I also don’t know enough tech stuff. I was thinking that a few trusted peeps could have the password and then it would be so demanding on one person.
Anyway I have set up two accounts one for general stuff and one for the hero. Have a look. Don’t forget to follow as when the updates start coming you will miss out.
Also don’t worry if you don’t have a twitter account you can still view the micro blog via these links
General info: www.twitter.com/xda_developers
Hero info www.twitter.com/xda_dev_hero
BTW sorry about the logo's
I for one would be up for helping update the xda_dev_hero account. Recieved my white Hero on Thursday, and having been a G1 user before I feel pretty familiar with the OS at this point. Wouldn't want to be solely responsible for it, but if others think it would be useful we could certainly get something going...
Good good anyone else up for it?
Ive been doing small updates on Twitter from the hero. I have also been posting pics on Twitter from my other phone. I may post a YouTube soon. Anyway, its richrasp on Twitter if anyone why's to follow.
I have made the code to keep the Twitter automatically up-to-date reading xda-rss and posting the info to twitter. The idea can be adapted to forum threats if needed. If anyone have a threat and want to follow it (like general, dev&hack.. ), just let me know to work on it.
-Thanks to robboy for the password-
I'm searching for a HD2 blog or site with the newest tips and tricks etc. Preferably one that is watching closely what is going on here, on the xda-developers forums. One, that could be a sort of layer on top of these forums and that I could visit when I want a new update of all those nice tips, tricks, advices updates etc. that are found on these forums.
HTCPedia is quite good.
You've given me a good idea for my blog though, as I have a domain, webspace and a Wordpress account with no content at the moment.
In fact someone has already bought hd2blog.com and filled it with a crappy Wordpress template and two posts. Which is exactly what I wanted to do.

That would be awesome!! There's so much going on here that it is impossible to keep "up-to-date". It would be so nice to get a compilation of news, tips, new add-ons, updates, ongoing hot discussions etc. etc. that is mainly based on this forum.
Hey guys I usually have a list of bookmarked sites I go to to see if there is anything new I don't know about. Since I am still pretty new to the android community I was wondering if anyone knows of news sites / blogs about the nexus one that gives DAILY news. Daily being the key... otherwise I could just do google searches myself but I would rather have a site that gets all the daily news for me.
Currently I use:
- Android central news section
- Phandroid news section
- Android community news section
- Android Guys
- Android and Me
- Download squad
- Android tapp
Probably my favorite so far is Android guys and Android tapp. The other ones are ok but sometimes have periods of 3-4 days without an update.
Does anyone know of any other good nexus one / android websites that give daily news updates?

Lol, Daily I get it...
Open up the News widget, create a custom new source, type in "Android". BOOM all daily news about Android from dozens of different sites every day.
Just watch out because there are often Apple-fanboyish sites like PC World that spin every single piece of Android news into something negative and end with some rubbish about Apple being better.
But at least it's daily
www.engadgetmobile.com is also the best site hands down for all mobile news. I love Android, but I like to keep up on ALL gadget news, not just tunnel vision Android

Androidspin is my favorite,try it.
I like phandroid and androidspin
You're an Android user right? On the news widget, I added the custom news topics named "Nexus One" and "Android". You'll get updates daily (it can even post more than one update in a day). Feel free to add more topics that you want to follow.
You can also use news.google.com like this http://news.google.com/news/search?aq=0&pz=1&cf=all&ned=en_ph&hl=en&q=nexus+one&oq=nexus

Check out post #2
Like Androidspin & Androidguys!
I was about to bookmark androidguys but the page doesn't display properly and icons overlap text in every headline and topic description. I cant imagine anything more ironic than an android site not displaying properly on an android phone. However my stock browser has given me hell since the beginning so it might just b my phone. Also I don't really know how to use the word "ironic"

So... what is it?? Can you give at least a clue as to wth it is? I know I can go to that URL for "more details" but you didn't even make the link click able. Seems a lot of work for something that smells like an advertisement or scam..
EDIT: Alright, I was curious. I googled it. Probably not a scam but you really could try marketing your thread a little better

It looks like some data monitoring thing, so you don't go over your bandwidth limits. I guess it's like 3G watchdog and the ICS data usage options...? I never used that stuff, but from what I can tell from their website, it looks to be similar to those.
sounds really sketch...
its not sketchy at all. It is a very popular data monitoring app on iOS and has been ported to android for a while. I used the gingerbread version for a while and found it very good.

Oh, ok. I guess the OP sounded really sketch since there was no context and only a shortened link =s
To be fair the OP could deffinitley do a better job of making it look more official.
Just search for onavo in the market and you'll see it is a respected app.
What is Onavo?
Hi guys,
Thanks for commenting here.
Being a new member I can't link (using http), so I didn't.
I can assure you it's not a scam or a hoax but a real beta program that will benefit you in the long run. As Jamalsid said, Onavo isn't a new thing, we're quite popular (read our media coverage here: onavo.com/news). AndroidPIT.com called us 'The Best Damn Data Monitoring App for Android. Period.' Could have linked if I could. We have a 4.5 star rating on the Android Market, with over 3,000 positive reviews from users - search the market and you'll see what I'm talking about. You can also read what our first year was like: blog.onavo.com/2012/01/year-one-onavo-recap/
We are testing a few new features that will be released on Android 4.0 for the first time, and can use your help.
If you have any questions, reply away.
Thanks!
