Technically speaking, I think we're the only ones that answered those questions, since we've "taken over" this area. If anything, our mass exodus would leave a support void
Now that I've just given reason for the opposite, I'll add that if we don't get our own forum we'll go on a WinMo support strike

Amen brother. Unless you have an apk of this,and it might help development with android 2(Link to developing Google apps because of sync api commands in maps app? I don't know.) What I'm trying to say is...don't make a new thread if it has NOTHING TO TO WITH DEVELOPMENT. Thanks.
Seriously. DEV or GTFO.
I kind of disagree; I think this is important for the development section:
It could inspire developers to work a way into porting android 2.0 to G1. It may inspire some genius into converting the g1 into a multi OS system that can switch between a GPS NAV and a Phone, in a simple way “switch Rom”. I left it open without a comment because I rather for everyone to use his imagination and transform this into development!!!

We already got a "demo rom" of sorts....it is based off of Android 2,but no Google apps,wifi, or Bluetooth,for obvious reasons.

I’m aware of that and the problems associated with porting 2.0, but I also believe in the XDA development Team. I would like to remind everyone where we have been and where are we now in terms of android, just imagine flashing back to stock RC 28 .
Just a note to OP, any dev that would even conjure doing this would more than likely look @ android.com or other android related sites with news and other articles just like you linked for us, granted you were trying to share what you have learned, it is completely irrelevant to this forum. Gladly take this thread to a "general"disscussion. Besides its still early look @ 2.0 and will be a bit before we see progress, and was hoping this thread meant somone was porting already, yet, to my dismay another off topic discussion that let my hopes fall to the bottomless pit of irony.

they moved a lot of stuff so i might have been an accident. try pm'ing a mod.
I'm not sure how long you've been on xda for, but in my experience it is common for requests (even development requests) to be moved to general. They usually want only actual development in the development subforum out of consideration for developers and users alike. it can be a bit trying to wade through all the ot discussion.

Asking a question about a feature for possible development is not development, its a general question and should go in the General/Q&A section. Pretty much everything should go under General, unless you have some source or compiled ROM or Kernel to contribute.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614062
I'm not a Mod obviously but spending a lot of time in the N1 Dev section you get a sense of what is and is not acceptable and how well it is tolerated.
Edit: obviously if you're posting an app apk or talking about cases there are sections for Apps, Themes and Accessories also.

I think we all understand why it was moved but I don't see any reason as to why it was closed, there are a lot of locked or closed threads that don't seem like they should be, it could be that there is a thread closing happy Mod, or they are getting locked or closed by mistake.

Nice to see you over here to
And yes we seriously do, I would also LOVE it if anyone could do any of these following things to...
1) Camera stabilization that actually works
2) 2 stage camera button using the track pad (push/release)
3) App that allows 360 rotation on all apps that allow rotation.
4) Decent Panoramic camera app (like the Omnia on-screen Stitching)
5) Decent burst mode that works well and can choose how many shots it takes and time in between shots.
With those and with the rotation hack/app, i would be such a happy camper...
Come on dev's anyone know if if this is possible, if it is i'm willing to donate for sure
So my original post was shut in couple of hours, but this post has been here for nearly a day and a Mod hasn't given any type of excuse or answer to why the post was closed?
Is it me or is that just rude and a bad way to run a forums?
I really don't want to start any trouble, but I would love to know why my post was closed, So I don't make the same mistake in the future, plus its just common courtesy.

Take your screen shot posts

i say make another section for android hd2 general thats the least they can do for all of this , so the rom section will remain only for rom and released apps ....
thats probably a good idea.

I agree... android is so popular on the hd2... I believe it requires a whole new section for rom development" (if you want to call it that now), "Themes and apps" and "general"... if it doesnt happen now it should at least happen in the near future.
any mods care to reply to this? I think its a serious issue and its against the rules of XDA..make me a MOD for a day, I'll clean at least this section up with swiftness

I'm thinking someone needs to have less of an attitude, ok I know some threads are not totally necessary but to start being disrespectful through arrogance towards moderators is not called for & I take it frowned upon. Your better response to your issues would surely to direct your distaste to a mod directly instead of adding your own ill-appointed remarks.......

No disrespect here. I am asking them to do their jobs, plain and simple. XDA is huge, I know it must be a tough job staying on top of all the posts here. I have run my own boards in the past and no where near the amount of posts..but keeping on top of them only equals a better experience for all. It makes searching easier as you dont get redundant posts, spread over numerous sections.
My reason for stating "start with this one" was simple, without that little line some one hear would inevitably say I am no different by posting here, in this section, with my added line I am saying I dont care if this post gets deleted, moved or what ever, start with this one if you want.
I come over here from the Nexus One section, prior to that it was the G1 section and am use to Mods that keep things clean and narrow..I just figured thats how XDA was in general.

Yeah, josh needs help in the android for hd2 forum.. officially, there is currently only 1 mod here, dharvey4651... we may need more in here since things are starting to become as messy as it is now..
many duplicate threads asking the same questions, asking irreverent qns when android development for hd2 is now still at SD card phase.. and the "ask your questions here thread" having mostly questions and no1 answering..
Mods need to help by deleting useless repetitive threads and if possible give temporary bans to people to either post or create new topic in the Android development forum..
And for all newcomers who see this thread... pls read the sticky threads for god sake and stop wasting server storage space with your useless, repeated, often already answered questions..!

We are busy, that is correct. If you want to help us clean up the Android section, please use the Report Post link in the offending thread. All moderators see the RPs in a super special dedicated forum, so rest assured it will be addressed as soon as we see it and have time to do so.
thanks for the replies. I wasnt trying to offend anyone. I will use the report feature...I always thought that was for things such as warez, hard flaming or the sorts..

Android and Artemis

Ok, I don't mean to be mean when I say this, but this should have been in the Android Q&A section, but, I would actually try the Energy Rom, thats what I use. If not, then try Phiremod Skinny Evo, or Biffmod Vanilla Froyo v1.1.

Thanks very much for your quick reply. I also think you're not mean by correcting me, I'm new to Android and want to try it. So, where can I find these Androids you mentioned, because I'm not going to leave Artemis ROM.
regards, Kuzibri
The easiest way is to use search function in Android Development section...
Try - UPD][BUILD][07.11.10] MDJ FroYo Sense Revolution v.1.5 [kernel: MDJ S1]
I think this is the best sense version at the moment.
If you want stock looks try - [Everyday Builds][latest linux_on_wince_htc][PPP] CM6.1+
or BUILD][11-5-2010][JDMS 1.5][Hastarin R8][PPP+RMNET][Themed+Stock]
They are my faves.
I run artemis. Every single build has worked until now. But post your questions in proper section please.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I also use Artemis v41 in combination with MDJ froyo sense clean v2.3 and MIUI 05 november version(iphone looks) both with good call quality, and almost no data drops. I use for both roms MDJ S2 kernel.

I think you should have reacted in an other way, my friend. I explained why I posted this in this thread. Is it so unreasonable that I ask a question in this thread, being unfamiliar with Andriod? I think, based on the reactions that I got, that you all have "big toes" on which you step very easily.
just my 2 cents.
BTW, I have posted in a lot of XDA threads, but never met such weak hearted souls.
well this tread isnt going anywhere all were doing here is fighting but im not going to lie "mattfmartin" has a point. you have been here for about 2 years so im pretty sure you can read the treads and imply where your post should go, but hey im not trying to be mean just pointing out the obvious.
By number of your posts i can imagine you know the rules... You are here 2 years... Saying that you are new to android is a joke. Being new to android doesn't mean you can't read. You care just about your own convenience and try to imply that problem is with us...

What the hell does my number of posts has to do with knowing the rules where to post what at all. Who are you to say that it's a joke that I'm new to Android and thus cannot read? Who are you to imply that I say that the problem lies by you Android members? These are all assumptions based on nothing at all. I already explained that I posted in this section because:
1. I want to explore the best Android version for my HD2 with Artemis version
2. I do not have any experience with Android
3. This seemed to me to be the right section to post this.
All I get is these no sense answers that I'm in the wrong section, instead of beining polite and giving me advice about the right Android version, Excuse me very much if I sound pissed off, but partially I am. I had expected some more cooperation from you then you have demomstrated untill now. I'm truly very sorry so admit that I have never met such a negative attitude towards a question of a member, whether junior, senior or whatever.

Sorry Sir, but I just asked a question, whiich IMHO has nothing to do with my amount of posts. I really do not know anything about Android, but just wanted to explore it/try it out. One hopes to get help with that, but instead I only got negative reactions and, you're right about the fact that I reacted pissed off. Excuses for that, but remains the fact that I did not get a decent answer.
best regards, Kuzibri
The reason that you haven't gotten a decent answer is because there isn't. It's just a simple matter of preference. That's your answer.
Now there is a second and a third reason you haven't gotten that answer yet. You can't demand an answer and you have to wait a little.

[Q] Gingerbread Keyboard

I don't have it i don't know anything about it I wanted to know more regarding it though. So the gods of this forum forgive me and my simple question. Is there something preventing us from being able to run it on the Fascinate. I know all the Galaxy S phones are different and all but having seen it on the Vibrant it seems so much better then the one we have and swype. So i put the question out there what is holding us back and where can i donate to make it happen lol
Did you even try searching?
Last time I checked we've had this for a while now...or am I crazy? I thought I was typing on it right now...

To answer your ? No. Does it Matter? No.Its a forum regarding android development for the Verizon Fascinate. I ask if a Android 2.3 Gingberbread keyboard has been DEVELOPED for the Fascinate considering i haven't read anything regarding it. Its a perfectly valid question and by all means don't respond to it. Knowing i put the question is a public medium i can expect to get some good responses and some not so good ones. So no need to be a Troll. If this specific forum wasn't for questions then explain to me why there is a an option to denote in the topic of a newly opened thread that it is a question. So what ur trying to get at I don't know. I openly joked at it potentially being a already covered topic and from my understanding was simpler then it seem. So rather then try to make this into a big mess why not just give a nice response to the question rather then perpetuate stupidity in a online community. Just sayin lol. We are all here for a good reason chill, relax, sit back we got a year till the world ends. You got plenty of time not to have Froyo by.
Here u go... enjoy....

I appreciate it man thank you. Look, like i said my understanding was it was something that would have to be ported to the Fascinate. So why i asked the question. I know better now. Understand where i am coming from and we are cool
EDIT***Yea i say that i read into it quick and don't like the fact it won't do speed to text/ its ify for our phones. I think i am going to try it out and go from there.

Maybe, before flipping out on other people, you should read the ****ing rules and post your questions in the general section. Or do some research on, I dunno, Google? You are the one perpetuating stupidity, as you put it, by not following simple guidelines for this DEVELOPMENT section.

I'll spell it out then: The development section is for development related threads. Threads about not knowing where the GingerBread keyboard is have nothing to do with development. At best, it belongs in the General Section, at worst the Themes and Apps sections. If I were a mod, I would have moved it myself. There are numerous threads describing searching - how to use the search tool for XDA, and that a Google search is also preferable before even thinking of posting a thread.
I apologize for losing my cool, you caught me on a bad day, it seems, but that does not excuse not bothering to search (or search hard enough) and it does not excuse making some drawn out connection between a question about a keyboard somehow related to development. As you can see by looking in the section, most (unfortunately not all) of the threads are regarding ROMs, kernels, developed applications, things of that nature. The reason you see so few question threads is because they get moved to the General Section.
Moral of the story, SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH, and if you have a question, it belongs in the General section. Again, sorry I lost my cool, but this sort of thing is getting out of hand. It's a Development section, not a "I couldn't find it" section.
Perfectly understandable man. But, and this is my last rebutle I offer because i feel we have reached somewhat of a common ground, again through my search no matter how extensive or not for that matter i was under the belief and understanding that the Gingerbread keyboard would have to pe developed for the Fascinate in order to correctly work. So i mean there is a no way to argue the knowledge i do or don't have or something i truly didn't understand. I put it forth in the first post it might be a dumb question and a simple answer would have been nice but again i knew what i was getting into. Also its not like the fourm has very high traffic with new developments. But i digress, so go easy and as i said before too this isn't like this a topic that is beaten to death here much like the ongoing Froyo things. But again thanks for being cool. Peace and Topic DEAD.

I openly joked at it potentially being a already covered topic and from my understanding was simpler then it seem. So rather then try to make this into a big mess why not just give a nice response to the question rather then perpetuate stupidity in a online community.

Yes, because making a joke justifies a selfish act of laziness. Posting questions in the correction section helps prevent a big mess. Not correcting people's mistakes in an online community would perpetuate stupidity and contribute to a "big mess." Just sayin lol.
