First of all, WOOT!
Secondly, does anyone have any success stories of trying out the Honeycomb SDK on the G Tab?
I love how they're calling sub views fragments.

+1. im downloading it now to try it on the emulator but id rather see it on my gtab
EDIT: Did i miss understand the reading? Because I don't see the honeycomb sdk "preview" in the android sdk/avd manager
EDIT2: nevermind it's there
What is the link for the Honeycomb sdk?
The Sdk can be found at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html... follow instructions to install... once you are up and running (1)install the honeycomb packages (at bottom) (2)run a virtual machine with honeycomb as the target (3) rotate head sideways... when creating the AVD I install all hardware and beef up the vm heap size, hw.ram, and sd card and its still really slow... sorry for rick rolling but it really was on clockworkmods twitter
Helloooo World!
I did a HelloWorld application and ran it in the emulator and it worked (slowly )! I am so ready for a gtab rom that will run these apks.
My first experience with Android was running it on the HTC Touch as a fully functioning emulator running from the SD card. Any chance of doing something like that with this?
If you want to rotate the emulator "ctrl f12".
Xoom might be released end of February, so who knows maybe we can get it (Honeycomb) soon. I love this forum and the people driving it.
They usually cut the release at the same time as a device that's launching with it.
(Droid/N1/NS)
I downloaded it and had a play around. It looks really cool, but really, really slow. I know it's because it is prerelease and emulated, but I wonder just how resource hungry it is on an actual tablet? I've seen the clips of the motorola xoom running it, but that is just a tech demo video it runs, not the actual thing, so I am curious about this.
Anyway, looks really good and seem quite intuitive.
Has anyone tried to pull any of the APK's out and see if any of it works with one of our ROM's
I suspect kernel and framework issues would make this unlikely. I might try here shortly, but it's not really something I have a lot of experience with.

The reason that it is slow is not because it's resource hungry, it's because the emulation of ARM devices sucks balls.

Have you loaded a vm with a cut release? Slow as balls.
Exactly, the emulator is slow no matter it being pre-release or release. My quadcore system with lots of ram runs it the same as my dual core low ram system. Heck the virtual Ubuntu box I sometimes run on my bigger system runs it the same.

Ha Ha, I did mention both of these reasons in my post, was just wondering if it would be fast on a tablet, in it's current form... and what they would have to do to it to get it faster.

2.1 SDK is out. Progress.
Good news.
We'll need the source before we can take advantage of it as the 2.01 audio libs don't work at all... And for anyone wondering, livewallpapers runs extremely slow and is not worth using yet.
Isn't the source available on AOSP? I thought I saw it the other day when picking through the tree?
Audio works I'm running it right now. It's pretty much the same as 2.0.1 with the addition of livewallpapers. The new launcher isn't included. Most likely because the emulator can't handle the graphics.
http://cid-26b659bcabad8994.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/2.1-SDK-Vogue.zip It's just a generic sdk build with no Google apps. Livewalls works but is slow like mssmision said. Give me a couple and I'll see what I can add.
2.1 wow! ...a while ago i made the switch from sprint to vzw & i have been off of my vogue for some time, but am now back to it -i figured out how to get it running on vzw I am looking forward to playing with all the new changes since i have been away!!
Do you think 2.1 will ever become usable on our vogues? or just bits & pieces like past upgrades?? i.e. especially google gps beta -i used that with the droid and it is incredible!
it's neat to see the familiar faces are still around this forum
btw, what do you guys think is the fastest/most stable version right now for me to use? (been away since november!!!)

you could try the new improved tattoo build or any of the donut builds. they should have the new google maps with navigation. if not you can update maps from market. there is also a 2.0.1 build which is almost the same as 2.1. google has already stated that the 2.1 sdk only has minor api changes.

Thanks Zen! ...i didn't realize there was a 2.0.1 functioning build out. I don't really care about the minor api changes. I will go do some digging and try out that build! it's fun to be back
AOSP repo is pulling down master/eclair right now, I'm watching it update platform/packages/wallpapers/magicsmoke,musicvisualization, etc.
I'm not entirely sure how to do so, but can't we compile this as a build for Vogue?
Well i just booted the nexus dump by replacing system/lib with the one in the sdk and then adding back some missing libs. Not quite usable about as good as Drizzys Droid 2.1.
Just out of curiosity, can you boot the nexus dump @ 240x320?

Wow, interesting.
I've got the Eclair branch (or what I believe to be the Eclair branch, it's labeled as such) from AOSP. I'm building it right now.
I'm optimistic that a clean build from AOSP will run better than the ripped/converted Nexus dump, but as I've never done this before, it's just speculation.
Zen, any advice on setting this up to run natively on the Vogue post-build? Anything I can package/upload for you to play with that might help?
Realistically, what do we have to do to get OpenGL working on Eclair/Flan? Will the G1 update apply to our devices? Having no thumbnails is a real pain, in addition to the occasionally jerky animation.
I know there are comments about froyo scattered through some threads but I couldn't find a dedicated impression thread. Would those who have the latest froyo please chime in with their overall impressions? Thanks!

Yeah I wouldnt mind hearing from someone that came from say CM5 to the latest stock Froyo. Is it better? Is it worth flashing now seeing as how CM6 is about a week or so away?
I would try it now myself, but I can't give up the dumb little things. (such as trackball wake)
I've used every CM version and every leaked version of Froyo. I was surprised that the final Froyo release seemed faster and smoother than FRF83. The browser seems really fast now and app switching is great thanks to JIT. I like my FRF85B Froyo final setup right now more than I did CM5.0.8. I can't wait for CM6 though.
Super. Wonderful. Amazing. Thank you Google and anyone else on the OHA that contributed to this.
It's great. I love it. I love it even more when someone hands me a HTC Touch Pro2 with Windows Mobile on it... Microsoft shouldn't even be in the mobile business. They should leave it to the experts. It was sad.
If you ever get a chance to put your hands on Windows Mobile... do it. It will make you appreciate your Android phone more than when you bought it.

Look at my sig pic, WM is all I ever used for years. I dabbled with android with emulators on my Fuze, then finally made the jump when the N1 was released. After using it for 1 day, I was emotional.

I don't think the JIT would have much impact on app switching. The highmem kernel OTOH makes a huge difference. My launcher was always relaunching when switching from big apps such as the browser or navigation. Since upgrading to froyo I haven't seen the launcher restart once.

Yeah you are probably right. I just thought I read somewhere that JIT had benefits for loading apps, it might have just been for 3rd party apps because JIT converts to native code before processing (something like that).

The JIT actually wouldn't have any impact on loading times. The standard interpreted code is always run initially. It's only once the app starts running that the JIT is able to locate frequently accessed blocks of code that would benefit from compiling to native code.

I too have used CyanogenMod since I had my G1. I DID play with, and greatly enjoy the Froyo ROM when it was released by PaulObrien.

Now with the latest Froyo out, I may change over - AGAIN!

It was branded T-MOBILE though ... hhmm, this can't be right!!! It should say Sprint!!!
After seeing the homescreen and tapping/flicking/swiping for all of 1.0 seconds, I handed it back to him and told him he has a Windows Mobile device - NOT ANDROID, and boy oh boy, was he pissed!!!! LMAO

I wouldn't mind a WM7 skin. But I have my Xbox for Xbox Live...I don't really play the arcade type games, so I wouldn't have use of Xbox Live on my phone...unless you can put Reach, Tier 1, Crysis 2 or MW2 on a cell phone...with good jitter/ping/lag/etc.
Count me in for a wp7 port.
Ironically some proponents of openness only possess openness in their phones and not their minds. I'd like to see it happen just to see it happen.

Market is typically disabled on all non-phone or non-3G devices by Google. That's why we have to hack a fix to make it work.

it would seem that google is easing up on its market access. realizing that we have tablets now. and we want to fully utilize them now. not whenever 3.0 comes out.

Especially considering that Google implemented the "Fragments UI" idea in the latest SDK. From my understanding, this will allow the devs to make apps that work with both tablets and phones, where the UI will scale to different sizes for the different areas, instead of having 2 different apps.

Adding in the Fragments UI concept is only a few limited lines of code to allow scaling. Doesn't mean that the size of the apps will necessarily be any bigger. Don't forget, theres always Apps2SD
If having scalable UI means that the apps will be slightly bigger but completely functional, it's worth it.

Agreed, however this one is a different story, as it is an app that IS already in the Market, but some sort of glitch (either at the Weatherbug end or the Google end of things) isn't allowing it to be downloaded and installed. After all, as far as the Weatherbug site is concerned, this beta app *should* be fully available for download at this moment. At any rate I just sent an email in to the folks at Weatherbug as I'm quite sure they'd want to know about this so that they can communicate with Google to sort out the problem and make sure their app is fully available.
