Hi people
One of the reasons I bought a Diamond was that I was sure that there would be a lot of development and "funny"-stuff for this device. Like new interfaces and so on. Things that would almost always keep the Diamond new and fresh so that it rarely bores me.
Well there has been a lot of development in these forums and I am very grateful for that. Thanks to alle the developers.
But still it's not as much as I expected to be honest. Don't get me wrong , I don't want to complain or sth. to the nature (That would be more than ridiculous since I am an absolute loser when it comes to developing). Developers do a great job.
But I was waiting for more differnet UI's and stuff to play around with.
So my question is :
What can one expect from the Diamond in the future ? Will such stuff come ?
The reason I ask is that I am thinking about selling my Diamond and get myself something like a Nokia E71. I know that there won't be much of the things I ask for here, but at least the battery is allegedly lasting super-long...sth. the Diamond does not have.
So I am asking you for advice ....Stick with the Diamond because there is a lot more to come ? Or rather sell and buy sth. different ?
I would be grateful for any needful answer.
PS: The reason I put this question into this section is because I thiink it's more a development question rather than a general Diamond one....
Uh Bell UI, Android, apps, themes.

What can one expect from a Desktop PC/Portable Computer/ in the future ?
Will such stuff come ?
Nobody knows Just wait, u have one of the best PPC right now.
It's like have a Q9540, Asus Extreme, etc...
Dont worry, except tomorrow nVidia release Tegra xD
I am sorry as I searched the forum for this and actually found 1 hit, but it seems that thread is removed.
So I am thinking about getting the cheap T-Mobile Pulse as second device to try some Android and experiment. As it is Android it should be easy to tweak and give it ROM threatment.
But I don't know how it works here. I know my blackstone gets good attention, but all HTC phones get that over here.
So I was wondering because of the different manufacturer Huawei, will the Pulse get a seperate forum as well and would we see ROM development there, or is this device just to small?
I guess otherwise it would be smarter to wait for a bigger device, which is accessable for a wider audience.
No it wont XDA Developers is purely for HTC Devices.
Please in future post in correct sub forum.
Closed.
Well the Behold II is upon and its pretty similar to the Galaxy, so can the great guys here at XDA develop some ROMs for them? We need a separate forum for these phones.
This a forum for HTC phones, so you wont see any new sections for non-hTC devices.
NM I should read.

TBH The name of this forum is "Android Software Development" and whilst this is majorly a HTC forum and Samsung devices would never get their own subforum, I see no problem with Behold2/Galaxy android development going on in this forum.

I believe that was one of the reasons for this subforum ;-)
There is also a Palm Pre sub forum and I don't believe that is made by HTC.

Hmmmmm...Don't see a Palm Pre sub-forum, maybe I am having trouble with my eyes...
If perchance you mean the Palm Treo 750, then you would be mistaken as it is in fact manufactured by HTC...as is every single device that has its own sub-forum on XDA.
I just want to see these devices rooted so we can installed the better Samsung music, video player(I think there is divx support), and if possible the camera software also.
Hey Everyone I posted a new thread with some updated information about the BH2 which may have us one step closer to perm root and recovery and custom ROMS.

Then allow me to ask an obvious question: Why would a presumably independent user-run internet forum like this one devote itself entirely and exclusively to one specific manufacturer? Assuming that HTC doesn't actually own this forum, why is such blatant favoritism/discrimination taking place? Does HTC pay some kind of fee to have XDA dedicated entirely to its devices only? I don't get it. Why the preferential treatment?
Don't be disrespectful ... READ the history of XDA and why it came about before you guys take on XDA .,.,., Instead of demanding a forum , lets see if we can get some of the devs interested in these units.... First thing first ,they need to have the phone in hand to work on them , so find one willing and lets get that dev a phone to hack...some of you guys kno how to get a second phone @ no cost (**cough**lost **cough**phone)so do it .,. lets get them hacking this beautiful unit ,.,..,

That is like asking Tmonews.com why they only have T-Mobile specific forums and not AT&T and Verizon and Orange and Roger and some Japanese network. It's because it's there site and they just want to focus on one subject. If you want discussion about different phones then this is a site that is not right for you. The owner just wants HTC and he's paying the bills so he will keep it just HTC.
But this site isn't called HTC-Developers, so it isn't obvious to visitors or members where the HTC devotion/bias comes from. Most people get referred here from other forums when looking for WinMo hacks, ROMs etc, not because they were looking for something HTC-specific.
I've actually been a member and regular visitor of this forum for a couple of years I believe, and this is the first time I've ever even heard of this HTC-centricity. It always seemed more generally Windows Mobile/OS focused than manufacturer specific.
In any case I don't recall challenging the site owner's authority or right to gear the site toward whatever he/she wishes. Rather my question was WHY this is the case, as in WHY the devs are devoted to HTC over other manufacturers. There is a significant difference between asking why something is the case, and suggesting that the owner doesn't have the right to make it so. Saying "because the owner wants it that way" isn't an answer to the question "Why does the owner want it that way?".
I did read the history and realize that the site started years ago based on an early HTC device or two; what I don't understand is why it has remained that way. My first vehicle was a tricycle but that doesn't mean I've stayed a tricycle devotee and ignored bikes and cars even to this day.
Back in those days HTC was mainly just making phones for other companies , like Imate tmobile O2 etc..... and they wont branded HTC but , whatever company it was made for . This site was born based on the lack of support these companies provided, you was always redirected to HTC who inturn sent you to your carrier. It has grown since then mostly windows mobile but now has a fast growing android side . They will support HTC androids , but thankfully some of the hacks work on other android devices ... We just have to get devs intrested in these devices and they can post their work here in the android Development section ... I think this would help us a lot
Its too bad, really: the only downside I find to my current phone (Sammy Moment) is that it isn't supported by XDA. My next phone will more than likely be HTC just because I miss all the value added this community provides.
Well if Im not mistaken the moto droid is Motorola and Motorola is not htc or in any form HTC and the acer infact isnt HTC therefore this hole site isnt HTC....
WHAT IN THE WORLD!
Hey, can we get a ROM or not? I just got this Behold 2 and I know DroidDeveloper managed to flash a Galaxy ROM onto it... what is the issues here? Just post some ROMs or post something productive. This phone has been out since December. Since everybody is cheap, I'll buy a dev a Behold 2 so they can start cooking some ROMs up... come on now...
Well here is of little me, my intention was to draw the attention of chefs to request help on android 2.1 to tattoo, so I delete the post
I think you meant to start a petition to get Android 2.X ported to your HTC Tattoo. Of course, it's very generous of you to start this, I have to point out a few things:
1. You're posting this in the wrong subforum. This is Chef Central, a place for Chefs and "want-to-be-chefs" to discuss their issues and news on rom cooking / development.
2. Your aim is to get Android 2.X running on the Tattoo is great, but should be posted in the Tattoo's subforum, as developers on that platform can assist you there.
I don't want to act as a ****, my reply is just so this forum stays clean and you get good answers to your questions.
Good luck with your Tattoo.
Moved thread.
Hi '
I ve got the same ID , http://forum.frandroid.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=10442&p=10
i don t know how you are going to do that , but , i think , the better way to touch the most many people is to do it on facebook
......
Why ? , simply because we can make link to it from many forum ......
And a people can "invite friend" to .....
I m ok for this but not for 2.1 but 2.2 or 3.0 for the end of the year lol ....
"Ask more to get less ".........

I think that these developers must be able to help us! Do not know which strategy should be best to use;
-we all go and flood on Twiter
-xdadevelopers schlund, munjeni, derefas to ask specific assistance.
-all of us sent mail and ask them to sell us Android for hd mini.
...but a damned possibility must exist
We have more than enough arguments, we want Android on HTC HD Mini.
We tried alone, Microsoft has gone, as if we did not buy phones.
lol
they don't give a f***
btw this is development forum..so let's keep it clean for developers,ok?
I agree but there must be a way to change that, if we try together.
Where to write about this if not here?

no..as i said is not any way,HTC is focusing on building new devices,not on porting Android on HTC HD Mini(apart from that this will be a silly request lol )

Now I can not change, you must contact wardfan220. If you have a solution about Thread topic would be happy to hear and if not, then nothing.
btw above you quoted me wrong.
would you contact BMW demanding technical details of non user serviceable parts because you want to install an engine that is not supported? I guess not. certain things are not supported for a reason. htc sells hd mini as wm branded phone and there is no way htc will support android on it. possibly due to licensing agreements? lol grow up. hd mini is a failed phone, most of us keep it as a spare/play phone. if you or anybody WANTS working android mobile then buy galaxy s2 or htc hd2. hd mini android development is just crazy and challenging hobby. they finish it when they have time and want it.
