Some news from Mr.bridman - Droid Eris Android Development

http://twitter.com/_mrbirdman_/status/25816905531
Seen this on his twitter.
Eris is in there
What could it be??
I put this in the dev section as he is a dev and its most likely to be dev related that what he releases

It's the kraken!

The fact that ours is the only MDPI device on their means that he believes that Eris has potential. Its amazing how such a small phone could become so......awesome

Saw that to, but wasnt clear if it's Sense on 2.1 or 2.2

After reading the site and looking at his mockups and proposals I can say I'm fairly excited to see how this comes out. It could be a brand new face for the devs to use, especially if he allows it to be ultra flexible.

Direct link to the proposed project as well as links to resources to find out more.

well, that looks cool. can't wait.

Yea this guys ideas seem sweet. The new Sense has alot of these ideas already in them and the rest are in the MIUI so it shouldnt be to hard for him to recreate them.
The new sense is really sweet but this sounds like it is goinng to blow it away......Im really excited and can't wait.

just a view about Eris Leak!

Hi Xda .. hope every one is fine enjoying their PRIVATE lives!
I was thinking that the eris leak is a setup plan by htc they gave the leak so that EXPERT developers here at xda could tweak the update make it awesome do all the work and then htc download it from here and modify a little with branding and themes and announce it officially!

I doubt they are using it for the devs here to finish
They are probably using it for us to "beta test"
Or it could be a real leak with nothing to do with htc.
Lol.. if that were to be true.. HTC would have leaked it when 2.1 was released..

I LOL'd because it's believable, though I doubt actually true.
Imagine if the official update came out rooted with a2sd enabled and powered by the teknologist kernel!

for that to happen they'd need to release the kernel sources first...
@topic: if it was true, it wouldn't change anything... we can not keep htc from spying here... but it would be really funny if someone found a prove that they used stuff from here

I wasn't being serious...
It would be quite funny if they did. I'm sure they will keep an eye over here, as they seem to patch any root exploits we use, then we beat them, then they patch and so on... or maybe they just subscribe to the Linux kernel security announcement group
Kernel sources would be nice, as would an official release so we can get Google earth working and get rid of the silly cdma only issues that persist. I wonder if the original leaker could get us a gsm image?
How old are you guys? Sometimes this Forum really feels like elementary school.
HTC's devs are way more capable than any of the devs here. Why? Because they have the ****ing drivers, sources, device details. They built their OS. Sometimes we can't even get basic features working here, or get constant FCs. Sorry to break it to you, but HTC doesn't care about this Forum.
I doubt it but if at all, they might have leaked it to get early feedback. Maybe that's why we don't see the ugly Espresso version with the bubbles and ****. They might actually release some screenshots or test versions on purpose to test the waters.

Full hdmi evo

It's awesome and it's gonna make your EvO all new again ! Beware!!! Possibly could result in some warm and fuzzy feelings inside.
Thank...you? But we already have hdmi.
Not sure what you are trying to say , but if you have full hdmi out capabilties on your EVO you should share it with everyone else they might find it useful....Cheers..
To be a little more clear I am talking about a forth coming App . It is called FULL HDMI EVO , and it allows for full mirroring out of the EVO display. Cheers..

Well it require root?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
In general no.. There are a few more options for those that do. I can say that this app is for sense based roms at the moment.
like what everything seems to be hdmi on alot of sense based roms.
I think the dev would like to have it on all roms Sense based or Aosp...
Meh... I thanked him anyways... I hope he's happy about something at least..

Sorry it is not my app to share . I simply inquired with devloper of the app to be included in his Beta testing of an APP for the HTC EVO that is not currently available in any form. To my surpise I was able to get in the Beta group. The point of this thread is to say first that the app does exist and that it works quite well . As far as I surmised there is great interest in this app. It must be of some use if it is going to maybe , possibly, might be in a CM release which you yourself seemed to think necessary to explain in you first post . So I am confused as to why you are saying this disscussion is useless , yet you continue to post in it. And I dont know you personally but you seem quite angry over this for some reason , I am sorry you have a problem but I am not sure if I can help you in this thread with that..Cheers

[THINK TANK] HTC Sense 3.0 on Galaxy Tab .Update HTC Flyer Dump is OUT !

I love sense so I really would love to get a port working
So I looked around and found a couple threads that have some sort of Sense working on Galaxy S devices, which are quite similar to our tabs, threads here:
MAIN GOAL
HTC FLYER ROM Port
DOWNLOAD DUMP HERE: http://911sniper.blog.163.com/blog/static/14290088120113282336926/
or here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H3JA41CW
I understand this wont be a walk in the park, but thats why its a think tank so everyone can help! Anyways this is XDA anything is possible : P
Ya so just post your opinions about what you think
Hell yeah, I would be up for that
You get some Sense 3.0 working and you'll be a demi-god around these forums....

Lol I def wont be able to get anything working myself, im not a developer, but hopefully we can get some sort of team up and running to do it. Also hopefully the htc flyer's rom dump will come soon, as that has the exact resolution as our devices
If we get a Flyer port, I will happily donate a kidney to whoever ported it.

ffs, the way you was talking in your OP it sounded like you was taking the challenge on.
This is pretty much a useless thread then , if there was any dev interested it would have likely been attempted by now.

I would defitnetly take the challenge but like i said i would need some assistance, i am still pondering if i should try to mess around with one of the roms above or wait for the htc flyer rom dump.
I would like a sense port either sense 3.0 or from the flyer it would look sexy. But then again so would a stock honeycomb port with basic functions working

Arguably the best UI for the Tab? Why not?
Let's set up a bounty!
That would be truly awesome... Sense UI is amazing...
Even if OP isn't a developer, I'm sure the thread can bring together developers who would be willing to spare some time and effort to get it ported... That's what XDA is all about
I think a good start would be to set up a bounty so we can entice those that do have the ability to get onto it...
I'm in favour of a bounty if we have enough people for that

You prefer the original Touchwiz? I like the Touchwiz too actually. The only one that bugged me is that I have to download the "sort app" application (only works after rooting) or any other launcher if I want to arrange my icons alphabetically.

Looks interesting will look and see where it goes in the future I agree tho HTC n Sprint are pretty good downfall of HTC is their lack of the next big phone on sprint atm EVO 3d was a little of a flop nice phone could have been better. Will have to see how they do with ics and getting it out.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Thank's for the veiw!
Yeah HTC has some cool devices coming out, but Sprint is missing out. They need to give Sprint a Beats phone, hopefully with the Bliss ROM on it I love that UI and the new Rosie has to be my all time favorite.
I think they will work magic with ICS, Sense overlay would be nice especially with what I have been seeing of 3.5!
Looks kind of cool I read just about anything that has anything to do with android so I follow and see where it goes.

lots of people seem to have mixed results with beats and with ICS i think the sense overlay while it looks nice ICS looks good its the actual first stock android look that is nice.It would be nice if they cut back sense or got rid of their launcher anyways. the main reason companys created overlays was due to the lack of smoothness android didnt have. google really outdid their self with ICS imo its what 2.3 and 3.0 should have been.

I think it'd be good, because I flashed it for my friend on their thunderbolts, and I was actually fairly impressed. I think putting some light back on them would be good cuz for the evo, when it first got rooted, they were the place to be, but now with more developers, more people are spread out, but they're great roms for aosp.
I actually just flashed it about 2 hours ago. I'm impressed with it; has the correct pngs, flows nicely, even without a reboot.

Nice! How exciting! I am working on a review of the Runny bliss Hybrid this week and then I will do OMFGB next week.
I am looking to do a ROM a week that way I can use it the whole week and give a more well rounded opinion. I am currently doing everything as is, with no kernel or other tweaks just the ROM as it comes. I will flash Gapps of course and my normal apps...
I am glad to have caught your attention and hope to bring some more users to your fabulous ROM, which I have been know to use from time to time. Are you running the latest nightly or the stable?

Yea they would be, which is why a lot of people using them partition their sd cards, to save some internal space, but they can be used un-partitioned.
They have the ROM's partitioned so its all in the "ROM memory" there its actually internal memory free.
I ran it for a whole week with no mods at all and it was smooth very rare lag and no crashes. Although I only use about 40 apps, there its plenty of memory, but moving cache to sd and apps to sd helps.

So when i install the base, I boot to the unlock screen and cannot get the screen to unlock due to screen inaccuracy. When I try to flash the port I receive an error and the installation aborts.

Not sure if I know what I am doing, but when the poop hits the propeller, I have never had to build source that wasn't already at least somewhat modified for my device.
I got all the proprietary stuff, the countless extra common additions, and now it seems I have to go find all the hardware build parts missing because all we got was a nexus layout and dashed hopes of much more.
It may or may not be realistic to just merge in the missing parts, but at least it is a good start. Everything is configured to work, it just wants some stuff I am still downloading.

I will post every detail I can, but I will admit a lot of it is currently mixed in with DHD and Dinc, as we have been working as one team instead of separate devices. I will make a point to link up what has been going on soon. That was overlooked on my part.
The builds in the first post are functional, but the version being built from source should not and will not be a [email protected]$$ rip -off of another device. That is costing time...

While I do not always agree with the Mods on this forum, I have been in contact with the one keeping a watch over this forum and he has a good understanding of what is and isnt relevant. He responded to make a valid point because a lot of the posts that have been removed are the direct result of not reading the first post. There have been MANY posts throughout the entire site pushing for releases only days after the initial release of a partial source. I think it is best you keep in mind, that nothing he said is directly rude unless you choose to read it that way.
To read up on a lot of the details of what is going on, a lot of the work is better documented http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343361
