All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to a product or two and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.
I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.
Is there currently any simplier way of side loading apps without rooting for the Atrix?
Look up AC_SWM. It worked for me before there was root.

You can try the other solution mentioned, but I prefer Droid Explorer. It has a ton of awesome tools with it as well.
ATRIX Root video added. Check it out in the OP. Or here... http://youtu.be/A_JINF__UKg
I know there is another one and it's great. This is just our version...Enjoy either!
Video added for ATRIX Free Tethering. Check it out in the OP...or here... http://youtu.be/JZi-5MOs7pc
Thanks to Fixter for that fix!
this is so awesome
Great idea for a thread...
Something good to add would be a guide for video conversion...Maybe include free software, best settings, and supported formats...because there seemed to be some confusion going around about that.
It is nice to add all of these videos on how to to things with the Atrix. But the videos that were not perform on the Atrix, have anyone confirm the procedure works for the Atrix. For example the density change is for the captivate, did anyone try this on the Atrix. OP, please cofirm these things before adding to your list.
Thanks,

Hey I am a longtime fan of XDA, it has been a cornerstone of the phone hacking and app development scene for years. I was looking through the threads and noticed an app development program that had been picking up steam and even released a private beta was closed. This thread if anyone was wonder is the WP7 Android suite by TheRedDrake. It seems as though there was some strife with the mods and they have moved off site to "wp7android.com". I was wondering what caused this and why an app development cycle that was making headway towards a market release got banned? I hope someone can explain this to me because I think if there is some policy against projects like this why does this forum exist if not to mod and release apps that we can all enjoy? I don’t want to incite any anger, I am just genuinely curious about what happened and why.
The answer to your question can be found in the last post of the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13290726&postcount=930
The developers have no intention of providing the passwords or removing them, so the project has moved off of XDA and is now entirely maintained on their website, wp7android.com. From what I know, the thread had been closed and re-opened at least once before as well.

Its simple, they were violating forum rules. Its unfortunately, but the expectations for developer threads have been very clearly hashed out by the Admins of this site, and TheRedDrake didn't abide by them, and instead tried to use a loophole. Fortunately they managed to get a different site, because project is a cool one, but they should have just opened their own site in the first place since they knew they had no intentions of abiding the rules.
Seems cool but it was definitely the right move. If they p/w protect rar's guess they wanna charge? Not sure how many Android heads are going to pay for win7 to replace a better OS (IMO) with more programs, especially when there's a great launcher that's customizable and spot on to 7. Maybe a dual boot but not for this guy. I can't remember what that launcher is called but it looked nice if I didn't love Android so I'd have dl'ed it ^_^ goog " window phone 7 Android launcher " I'm sure it was here on xda (free-donate if u like it), if it sounds like something you'd like.

To be fair, their project was a hell of a lot more than a launcher. They basically built an Android equivalent to WP7 from scratch, including the Zune player.
WP7Android project is one of the best projects. As it is aiming to change the whole UI of android to WP7, not just the UI. They are also working on apps for the gallery, mail, dialer, camera, browser.. and more than i can't remember right now. It's going to be a big project!
The project has been moved from XDA to the WP7Android forum. You can check out their website where they have all the details about this project, you can also donate if you want to get access to all the beta apps. www.wp7android.com
I donated to TheRedDrake at the start of this project, and i have no comments on all the apps they provide, they are really great (Considering they are still in Beta stage..) also, donating helps the devs and keeps the project alive, and keeps the process of it going along the way.
http://twitter.com/#!/TheRedDrake
Donations that were made for this project made it possible and made it exist. Not free apps or lite versions. There are already versions of other WP7 styled apps not part of this project that have as much features as a lite version. I understand the devs not wanting to waste their time on making lite versions.
As i have read, the three apps that TheRedDrake wanted to make them free, will not be free anymore, and this is because the mods of XDA closed the thread of this project..

Nice to see someone is supporting me. People like him bring my project to life
Well since the original topic was closed I have to explain here somethings:
Q: Why do you password protect the rar files?
A: I said that only contributors are allowed. If you help this project in some useful way I will grant access. This means everybody could enter if they helped.
Q:Why don't you post free apps? .....or lite versions?
A:For first question go to previous Q&A, for second it goes like this: we won't spend time making any sort of lite versions. There are already apps in the market by other developers not involved in the project that have the same amount of features as a lite version.
Q:Why don't you obey the XDA forums rules like all devs do?
A:I do obey them but putting the apps for free just because of that ain't going to do. As I already said if you help you can get them for free.
Q:You know people get frustrated by your policy. Many devs offer apps for free. What do you say about that?
A: True they do. But many devs don't offer their work for free. Not all in this world is for free and most quality software is paid. You should realize that.
Q:Are you still going to release 3 apps for free for XDA users?
A:No, maybe for our forum users 1-2 apps.
Q:Have you any intention of trying to reopen the thread?
A:No, it has been moved to the official site forum at http://www.wp7android.com
Q:Are you in any way upset at the moderators for closing the original thread?
A:Nope, not at all. I understand why they did this. It is their job to make sure XDA forum rules are followed by everybody even if sometimes those rules are nonsense.
Q:There have been similar devs who got kicked from XDA from the same reason. Are you aware of them?
A: Yes Ultralinx is such case. Banned from trying to sell his work. Well he is sympathetic to our cause and offered free advertising on his site. I'm certain he is angry at the XDA mods.
Q:Finaly what do you think of the XDA policy of free apps?
A:Here is one example: SPB Shell beta apk was available here even if it was a closed beta and SPB didn't permit the apk to be freely distributed.The moderators didn't do anythin about it. I will let you judge by yourself this one.
Everyone should definitely join the new forum we just launched . We also started a Facebook fan page the other day . http://www.google.com
There is some absolutely fantastic work being done by everyone . As stated above , this isnt just a launcher . This is going to be the whole enchilada . If you're a fan of the UI , then this project is for you .
We are all very excited to be doing this , and this is NOT something that will be dropped and no longer supported ( like most of the other wp7-like apps ).
We are in it for the long haul . Join us for the ride . We are going to start having prize giveaways , developer blog spots , etc.
One of our devs will be presenting our project at the Happy Go Techy Expo in Seattle.
We still have much work to do , but this is one of the few UI overhauls here at XDA where progress is actually being made and YOU can be a part of it . Thanks to everyone that has already helped and has joined our rapidly growing community .
Don't forget, http://www.google.com/
Join the forums and let us know YOUR thoughts . Thank you .
put you ads somewhere else... hope you get banned from xda for that.
@dubyajaysmith agreed!
As someone who was critical initially, I want to say that I've donated to the project. TheRedDrake has returned personal PMs to him, and I think my concerns have been put at ease.
The last thing I think anyone wants to do is lose good devs in the Android community. After learning some more about the work behind the scenes, I'm definitely supporting this project.
I partially agree with the decision to close the old thread. Yes, it is a bit against the rules, but some other devs are putting non-free non-lite apps here too, and their thread won't get closed. The WP7 team was working hard on the whole stuff, I've been able to take a look at their source, and help them here and there, and I have to say, what they did, is pretty impressive.
The Zune Player is almost ready, the Launcher looks good as it is, functional, works as it should. Everything else is in order, and the whole pack will definitely worth the money they ask for it.
The whole UI is being replaced, and hopefully it will extend to some other applications too (currently the Contacts app is finished, the Zune Player, Messaging, Launcher has work on it AFAIK, and the others are being written too, I have no further info on it though).
I think the mods need to calm down and get over themselves. There are developers who are doing the same thing they accused TheRedDrake of who haven't had their threads taken down. That just makes the mods seem as though they are immature and play favorites to projects they personally like. I love XDA, but when they take unjust actions like I just described, it disappoints me to see them contradict their own definition of a developer community.

Why was it pulled off the market (lite)? it was there yesterday but now its not...
I did get to try it out though... LWP didn't work for me and there was no add widgets button when I press the menu button on my phone.... personally its just like L7 not to dog the hard work people put into this (I really would like to see how this project turns out) its just an opinion.
Yeah there are Widgets, multiple home screens, live tiles, folders, etc that weren't in the lite version.
We pulled it from the market because in less than 24 hours it was up on the warez (piracy) sites.
We are putting security in place before we put anything back on the market. Good thing it was a really stripped down version
Thanks for the support. We are all spending crazy amounts of time on this.

Hello Cousins! I am creating a new thread for the official PalmDroid project. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, keep this new thread for only dev news and progress. We have created a new thread for three reasons. First off, the project starter roto-rooter, has been inactive for a while. Also, there hasn't been much ACTUAL dev news in the last thread. Finally, we feel like we would get more notoriety in this section than in the WebOS section.
After speaking with some of you it has become readily apparent that while many people are comfortable waiting for a full android release for the HP Touchpad, there are also quite a few people out there that do not want to switch to a full android OS but simply wish they could have access to the vast app collection that android has to offer.
For these people I offer a solution.
Palmdroid

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The Palmdroid project is going to be an ongoing development project to bring a Dalvik like port to the Palm/HP WebOS operating system.
The goals of this project are as follows:
1) to offer a Dalvik port to WebOS that allows for android app emulation as if they were native WebOS apps much like Alien Dalvik on the nokia n900 or the app emulator of the blackberry playbook
2) Share useful information throughout development with the Touchdroid team as to help them reach their end goals and avoid conflicting and overlapping work as well as to foster collaboration and new ideas to speed the project along.
3)If possible (either worked into the project from the start or through later additions) provide the emulator as a download through the WebOS homebrew App catalog.
Now with the goals outlined I'll move on to how this is going to get going and what needs to happen next.
1) First and foremost... I need volunteer developers. If you have experience with Dalvik, WebOS development, Android development, UI development, C++, Java, Etc. I would like you to PM me with details regarding what you can help with. I have some java and C++ experience as well as a ton of web dev and project management experience but with alot of this I am learning as I go and if this is going to get done with any sort of speed I NEED your help.
2) I will be setting up communication channels for the dev team to discuss what needs to be done, share work, etc.
3) I will be setting up a web page (an extension off of my own since I can't finance purchasing another hosting account or domain name right now) where there will be regular updates on the status of the project as well as a section for the dev team as a repository for project related research, source code bits, group status reports etc.
Until the aforementioned steps are met this thread will be used to offer info, updates, and discussion related to development of Palmdroid.
I hope to have the support of the community here as we move ahead... i know I am new around here but I am very passionate about making this happen.
WebOS is a great operating system... and Android has some amazing apps... won't it be an amazing world when you can have both!
The Team (so far):
Developers: SpencerElliott, cyrux004, pullathomas, Childofthehorn
Idea Creators: Roto-rooter, FAILHARD
Palmdroid Coming Soon
I've been able to compile dalvikvm using the PDK toolchain but I still feel like all of the shared libraries (libdvm, libssl, etc) will need to be compiled using Palm's toolchain just to be safe. When I try to run dalvikvm on the device, I get a segmentation fault and I can't trace it back.
Code:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x2aab64c4 in _dl_relocate_object () from /lib/ld-linux.so.3
Progress is (slowly) being made though. Once dalvikvm isn't crashing, it should print out
Code:
Dalvik VM init failed (check log file)
And that means it's ready to accept bytecode (just needs to be configured first)
SEPT 15 UPDATE: Not much happened since the last update but I'm narrowing down what I believe are the issues with the segmentation fault.
So I'm going back and compiling the different libraries needed for Dalvik (libssl, libz, libdvm, libdex, etc.) using the Palm PDK libraries. So far I have libdex compiling and I've been able to create a static library from it, so one of them down, a bunch to go.
I haven't pushed any of the code just yet because the folders are a mess right now and it isn't exactly usable but I should hopefully have some more libraries compiling before the weekend

It's kind of a mixture of experimenting, my computer science major and being a huge Android fanboy I'd say that if you know how the Android platform runs on devices and all the underlying systems that run it you should be good to start looking at the source code.
Unfortunately, kernel.org is down right now so you'd have to find the source somewhere else but any help I could get with the project would be appreciated

I started working on something similar for Bada just out of curiosity, But I'm struggleing with it as the Bada SDK is only available on windows and the Android sources can not be compiled under windows... Catch 22... I installed cygwin and set it to use the Bada SDK's gcc and things and installed the Java SDK on windows to have javac but I still has problems...

So, I'm starting to wonder if this project is still as feasible as it once was since OpenMobile is working on the very same idea but with more backing and a platform to stand under as of now.
I will continue to work on the project as much as I can if people would still like to see Palmdroid, but it seems moot to create two of the same product :S

You guys need a git repo or gitorious code base for management? I run a few boxes with lots of spare space to help various projects out, including hosting mirrors for bandwidth. I'm willing to support this project.
Also - a little unrelated; does anyone know of an effort to support Apple iOS apps on Android? I vaguely remember there being something for that but I cannot find it anymore. I really want to play the Ascension game but it has only been released for Apple on iOS. Was hoping there was a port/vm someplace.

An option I'm sure... A running VM with iOS certainly would fit the bill. Ultimately I was hoping of something more like 'here's an emulator to run iOS apps on Android' sort of thing; being that I have that wonderful TouchPad that will eventually have Android installed. Something similar would be PalmDroid in the fashion that Dalvik/Android apps will run on WebOS.
Thanks, I'll take a look into the project and freenode room.
Hi,
I have done some mock-ups of a software store on Ubuntu Phone OS.
Hope you like the screenshots
The only feature that works though is software update button and it just runs a apt-get upgrade.
I was wondering whether there were any development groups for Ubuntu on this forum that I could be a part of?
Anyway... let me know what you think of my work-in-progress software center

I have brought a domain called elbuntu projects (elbuntu is my display name on Skype) I will put my projects there over the next week.
Looks real good.
Thanks for the feedback.
Of course it need search, categorises and things but this is a good start.
If your want to show Canonical your work and help with the development
of the real software center you should submit this on the official mailing list.
I am planning to do this when I have perfected the designs... I am implementing the search as we speak and also want to have a app description page with reviews etc... Then I am going to submit the first designs to the mailing list.
Nice. Have a thank!

elgunvo,
I strongly urge you to subscribe the Ubuntu-Touch mailing list and contact the core app development team if you have not already done so. Volunteering to help with the development of the "Ubuntu-Touch Software-Centre" will quickly get you the contacts who are running those efforts. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone and scroll down to "Mailing List"
Also: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/Touch/Contribute
To see what happened with a developer, who was started to creating their own Music app, follow this thread from the mailing list. It ended up as a good news situation for all involved.
https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg00744.html
In general there are issues with "perfecting" your design in relative isolation. The Core Developers are encouraged all devs to post your interface designs on line so that your product is both consistent with the Ubuntu-Touch interface and takes full advantage of it.
The best way to do remote, collaborative UX Design:

http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1303/meeting/21616/appdev-1303-coreapps/
At ~38:00 is an important design process review by one of the core app development team.
At ~46:30 Wire-frames creation tools used by the core app developers
2) The state of the Ubuntu-Touch Software-Centre is very much in flux. It has not actually been decided as of this week's UDS if debs alone will be used for installations, file system location for app installs (likely /opts) and how Ubuntu-Touch apps will integrate with the Ubuntu's current desktop Software-Centre. It was mentioned a number of times, by the SDK lead, that he felt debs had unnecessary overhead for the installation of apps on devices with limited CPU and power consumption concerns. Within their tight time frames debs maybe their only option.
3) Heavily stressed in the UDS SDK sessions were:
a) Due to the current dynamic nature of the Ubuntu-Touch APIs stick with pure QML as much as possible to reduce the amount of rework you would need to do.
b) At this time cross-compiling C++ apps are problematic with the current SDK

I hope you find this information helpful.

Looks very simple and clean, but at the same time it still retains the theme of Ubuntu touch, I love it,
This looks like something that should already exist
Great work, but please share it with Ubuntu community so your proposition could be taken into account for creating complete app market look

Extend interoperability between Ubuntu devices further by making the "app store" on Ubuntu phones simply a mobile Software Center:
"As much as the Ubuntu team wants to make Unity work on ALL devices and make all apps conform to the same pattern, using different app stores for different devices is only going to hurt the Ubuntu team in the long run. If there's one OS for all, then there must be one app store for all.
The Ubuntu Software Center is the perfect app store in itself. So let's embrace it no matter what the form factor."

Thats what I want to do. There are no plans on creating a QML front end on the phone at the moment so I wanted to start it off. No doubt they would have been doing this sooner or later. I am just trying to push it along.
The other thing is that my software will actually use the same methods used in the Ubuntu Software Centre to install apps and to remove them, The software update section on the software centre I made would combine the Software Update app with The Ubuntu Software Centre app thus getting rid of the need for two apps
BTW, I submitted my idea to the mailing list a while back with new designs but still haven't got a response back. I hope at least i am on the team when they decide to do one
elgunvo,
I also made a post on the mailing and in the IRC #ubuntu-touch channel and did not received a response.
I have been reviewing the majority of videos from last week's UDS (Ubuntu Developer Summit) and have gleamed some information you may find relevant.
1) The number of challenges just to complete designs, implement, integrate and have a half decent "production" version for the "phone" form factor release of Oct 2013 (v13.10) is mind boggling.
2) They are desperate for the developer community to add apps and take charge. You may even be allowed to lead an effort if you heavily coordinate with the core-app-team which is currently focused on other priorities. I suspect to a certain extent due to bullet point #3 below.
See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Contribute for contribute advise.
3) The state of distributions for device images and even the application file system layout is still in flux. So application installation will be problematic (shift sands) for at least the next several months. Likely no earlier than May 2013 which coincides with the "alpha" or as it is also called the 13.05 release of Ubuntu-Touch.
4) During the UDS session it was mentioned that ALL the Ubuntu-Touch sub-projects are tracked through on-line blueprints on Launchpad which are accessible by the public.
You may be interested in the following information from UDS:
"App Development Community Growth":
http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-1303/meeting/21615/appdev-1303-app-development-community-growth/
Check around the 27:00 mark for the mention of an app contest
Check around the 27:50 mark for the mention of an App developer week for app devs to learn about writing apps and the platform
Also "Ubuntu SDK Days is an online event on Thursday, 14th March and Friday, 15th March where a number of app developers and Ubuntu SDK creators will get you started writing apps for Ubuntu on multiple devices. ":
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuSDKDays
If you cannot watch the videos live they will be available for viewing after the event just as the UDS sessions are on YouTube.

Thanks for this info. I will check the videos out tonight and hopefully start a small, organized community of developers who will help me to add the extra apps to Ubuntu Phone.
Your install button look like it's already pressed btw, nice design, like it !
New UI
Hi All,
I have done a better ui for the App Store.
Youtube Video of the UI can be found here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqzlF8qPTy8
Hope you like it and feel free to give suggestions
elgunvo,
Watched the video and really like the direction you are taking. I am also glad you are coordinating with the Canonical developers.
This looks great.
This looks awesome!

I'm am an app themer it is addicting and I don't know how to stop nor do I want to. But I find myself in a bit of a saddened state. I can not find good smali documentation anywhere. As if all the great devs are hiding it to prevent competition from less skilled people. This is a cry out for help. Maybe some well written book somewhere hidden in the folds of this site. I have been learning about application mods for a while now and do all my own work. I am the best where I come from making custom themes for an app that I love. It is also where I met the love of my life and we are now having a child together. Every time I made a theme mod I always give credit to the creators of the app. If you would like to see my latest work please check out on Aptoide and search for an app called BlackoutXmod. It is a theme mod for the app I am on. I even uploaded a picture as a reference here. So I ask you from the bottom of my heart. This is for the one person amongst the 100,000 that will here me and help me figure out smali.
BLACKOUT is the name that I go by on the app
