RTorrent and Elinks - Android Software Development

I would really like to see RTorrent and Elinks ported to android. However, I believe that they cannot be due to a different version of C. Busybox on the other hand, was ported.
Does anyone know if it would be possible to port elinks and rtorrent, and if so, whom to ask to do so?

I am bumping this for further information.

"Back-Porting" camera to 2.0+?

So we all know that HTC has yet to release the latest drivers for 2.0, or 2.0.1. So, could we possibly take the old camera drivers and applications and place them into 2.0+? I don't know all the real information about doing so, but it doesn't seem that challenging..
Ideas and Thoughts?
At the risk of being blunt... this doesn't need to be talked about any more. If drivers come out, you will know, if htc releases them, you will know, if someone reverse engineers the old drivers, you will know.

Alright, I didn't know.
Oh and Evilkorn, there is a difference in being blunt, and being rude. I was trying to discuss an idea or find out more information about how it could work. Don't be an ass, there is no need for that.

There's a difference between "there" and "their" too.
Had to be done.
It would actually be no big deal to create an ABI adapter for using the old driver. Its just technically beyond the "devs" who have been responsible for these builds. Most of them don't have the required programming skills, some of them don't have the time, others of them don't have the interest.
I have the skills, but neither the interest, nor the time.

[REQUEST] Froyo ROM with Sense?

I know it's possible now since there are Desire and Incredible ROMs running Sense on Froyo, so I'd be very happy if a developer could figure out how to port one of those to the Eris. Obviously they're different screen resolutions (and the Desire is GSM instead of CDMA), but it must be possible. Thank you in advance!

Hah, for what? It's your 2nd post and your already trolling? The man is asking something pretty simple, if someone would be willing to do a port on an EXISTING rom or if anyone is currently working on one...no need to report.
Been around long enough to know no one likes it when people post these types of things. You think some dev hasn't already thought of this? You think his question is going to motivate them? It just clogs up the page.

If a dev has thought about it or has been messing with it, nobody knows about it yet(for the eris at least). Maybe someone who has worked on that type of thing (porting) or others might be interested.

Anyway, here's the link to 2.2 sense for the Incredible if anyone was interested in checking it out for a possible port.

lol...somehow I doubt a joining date of "July 2010" with 3 posts constitutes being "around long enough."
I don't know about everyone else, but I have no problem when someone posts a very benign request. There's nothing wrong with what thenestor did. He made a legit post throwing an idea out there with the hope that the devs would comment on the possibility of doing it.
What I do have a problem with is a new punk user coming in and throwing weight around that he doesn't have. The only problem with this thread is that you posted on it.
wait? been around long enough to see it? the guy is a senior member? and hes asking a simple question. nobodys gonna learn unless you ask? maybe you know all and want to troll on everyone but damn give the man a chance

umm... that's a LEAKED rom... I believe theres a difference between LEAKED & ROOTED roms..
Once you go onto a leaked rom, you lose root privileges..which is NOT what you want...
Then again, he might just mean that its leaked to everyone else, thereby not really a leak..

please explain? im running a cyanogen Tazz froyo rom and i still have root privileges? is it gonna change if you port it from another devices?
From what I gathered, it's a leaked OTA ROM that has been modified with the superuser apk and such. So it should still allow for root access.

But when "iloveandroid" asked about someone making a ROM, he/she got jumped all over for it. How's this different ? No offense thenestor... Yeah, "iloveandroid" was annoying, but sorry, the rules don't apply to some and not others.

Depends slightly on what's being requested really. Requesting someone make a Sense 2.2 ROM is different from requesting that someone make a Sense 2.2 ROM with X Y and Z added and A B and C removed.
He's not requesting a customized ROM, just asking if someone was doing a Sense 2.2 ROM.

hes asking developers to build a specific rom, regaurdless this is not the place to ask for a rom to be made if you have a request, speak with a devloper in his own thread on a private note, and ask there.
DO NOT CREATE A THREAD TO ASK IF/FOR A ROM TO BE BUILT IN THE DEVELOPER SECTION.

You idiot. Those two are solid gold around here...
This is worse then my high school, honestly guys. If you have a problem with a question you can either:
A) Skip over it and let it float to the bottom
B) Say do it yourself
C) Try and say something worthwhile
To be the only one answering to answer the OP question in 18 posts is very sad.
OP, It is said that Framework is working on it, but as of right now I think he is the only one. Andrizoid was, but we all know what happened to him.
Grow up guys. In all seriousness, annoyances don't have to ruin our day.

thank you sir but we really should watch the name calling
and another note if you read any post ive made they are all geared towards A:learning B:helping others learn C:to have a good time
youl see i never created a thread . . . . EVER because i - A either use google myself B ask a developer in his thread or C-DEAL WITH IT UNTIL ITS FIXED OR RELEASED.
i enjoy learning and helping others learn but there becomes a point when people are asking to be spoon fed and i disagree with that strongly. If you feel that you need a place to be spoon fed. . . . Phandroid.com or androidforums.com seem to be very open minded towards that and helping code thief's prosper. i have no issues with either of said forums however "me personally" i chose XDA because its a reputable place to LEARN,
I appoligize to the XDA members who have to read this knowing D*** well this isn't necessary. Please read and obey the posting rules. Im not even a mod or any kind of status around here. If i were things would be a lot tighter around here.TRUST AND BELIEVE THAT.

Kernel Modules for 3D and Audio on Touchpad

Posting this hoping some of the CM developers on the touch pad visit this section of the forums -
I was wondering if anyone knows which kernel modules are in use on CM7 that are allowing the touchpad to have full 3D and working audio under the OS. Working on getting Debian running fully on the touchpad hardware and these are two hurdles I need to get over next.

Seriously, this is ridiculous. Probably a large part of the reason RootzWiki exists, because of this BS on XDA. OP, please don't be discouraged - I support your efforts and wish I could answer your question!
If you mean the kernel compiling, maybe you can check the tenderloin kernel build in github
I wish I can also find the CM7 source code for TP but it seems been pulled off from github, you can check the work of preludedrew but the rom I built from his code does not work well for 3D acceleration and other stuffs (or maybe I have done something wrong in compiling...)
Hope this helps

[Q] XobotOS Port

Hello,
I have heard that android has been ported to C#.
While this is a big thing, the reason why I am sharing this is that the performance of the C# Android version is superior than the Java one.
So my question is that can it be ported to our Heros?
Here is the link to the blog post and the github:
http://blog.xamarin.com/2012/05/01/android-in-c-sharp/
https://github.com/xamarin/XobotOS
Yeah, it sounds awesome, really Do you know if apps will b e compatible?
Edit: I think Nickoltus might be working on this?

Since is a translation from Java to C, I believe that the apps will run with no problem if a system is made to translate back from C to Java. Well, I guess that it will be a major step but we don't know if the drivers and all will be functional. All we have to do is wait
C and c# are two totally different languages. C# had more in common with java though. Sorry, just had to point it out
I guess it is possible to use it. But I'm a bit sceptical whether the graphs are fair
Cheers, R

Multi window feature not working

That's because it's still a work in progress, and not merged yet. In the official releases. You'd have to find an unofficial build with it included.
Oh, alright, thanks. Any ideas when it might be completed?

As far as I know there will never be any release dates concerning new features ect.. And it might

Yup. "Never ask for ETAs" was Rule #1 for Cyanogenmod, and while we intend to many things differently from CM, "No ETAs" is not something we intend to change.
