Is anyone looking at porting Flash to the Aria?
If I'm not completely mistaken, I though it had been ported to HTC Hero, and repacked into the FlashLite.apk

Read....search...learn how to post on XDA. Don't ask questions in a development thread. Ask your questions in the General thread. this one in particular has been asked and answered a million times. Don't tell me I'm being a ****, learn some forum etiquette.
I'm pretty sure you're confusing the OP's question with the way too common "why isn't flash in the market/how do I get flash/why don't I have flash" question. I haven't seen this one before, and am very interested in finding out the answer. And yes, I just seached "HTC Aria flash port", and nothing useful came up.
Also, a mod might have moved this and not posted, but this is in general.
From what I have read... the processor in the Aria does not support Flash. It has been asked a lot. Hence why it does not show up in the Market.

It's more along the lines of this version of flash does not support the processor. It has been mentioned that someone could port it over, although it might not work well (probably why it wasn't supported in the first place).

Yeah, what he said!

Part of the problem is a straight answer is next to impossible to get from all the previous threads, which i had already spent literally hours searching and reading. Too many people are confusing Flash Lite with Full on Adobe Flash 10 - which is what everyone is interested in.
If you look at the HTC Hero threads - There are few posts where it's claimed that 'Full Flash has been ported to a sense rom, replacing HTC's Flash Lite in couple custom ROMS'. - which is what i was alluding to. I can only interpret these posts as being completely mistaken unless one of the ROM owners speak up. They may be confusing the Hero's Flash 9 implementation - which is actually worse then our Flash Lite Plugin (which is Flash 10 compliant) but that's just my speculation.
Bottom Line: The Adobe 10 beta that is out - is compiled and optimized for Cortex8 / ARMv7 ie: won't run on our MSM7227 / ARMv6. Despite all the reports that Flash would be available for the Aria - and that i've seen it on list's of devices to be supported - whether or not it makes it to the Aria is still up in the air. I don't understand why Adobe says its coming to android - when really its just coming to the absolute latest devices (barring more then half of the handsets out) and that its also coming to many other mobile platforms - with worse processors... *scratches head*
I apologize for posting a [Q] in development section - The first page was flooded with [Q] so i just assumed that since - only a developer would really answer if this is being worked on - that it was the right section.
And yes ... bkmo should learn some manners.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I could SWEAR the original ROM that was on the phone when I bought it, aka stock AT&T ROM, had flash lite installed on it...so I don't really understand where all this "aria CPU doesnt support it" talk is coming from...of course, it would all make sense if im wrong and stock rom doesn't have flash lite and in just imagining things

..As in, there havent been many updates from the devs for some time on DesireHD roms- is there a particular reason? Is the camera still the main hickup? Thanks
I`d love to have a Desire HD build with working camera, I`d use it undoubtedly! I love the new Sense interface with Skins, it`s wonderful!
It hasn't stopped, but there's so many things all happening at once that some things take a lot longer. With the hd builds the camera was the main issue, they had to wait for HTC to release the kernel source before it could be worked on properly...now the main development is focused on getting it to work on the desire as that is closest to our hd2's. Once its all sorted with the desire it shouldn't be long before its all ported to hd2. With the previous desire builds they are a good deal of the way to getting everything all worked out for us, but with the hd builds and the new kernels, they pretty much have to go back to square one and custom build everything all over again. Also with the upcoming release of magldr for nand install Android, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the devs are collaborating to get everything ironed out on that so the release is as smooth as possible, once the hype has died down after the release of magldr, maybe hd development will resume a bit more quickly. Hope this helps...I know, its hard being patient when the available builds are so damned tempting already!

Hey, rather than starting a new thread just thought I'd ask here.
Can someone please links to the threads containing desire HD (with Sense) ROMs and just give a quick outline of what is and isn't working. Hope it's not too much trouble
(and i tried searching but I got too many results )

I've been talking to svetius, the admin responsible for "User Experience" at XDA, and apparently the G2 and Desire Z forums are going to be merged very soon now.
So this is just a heads-up for everyone to expect this.
I think it's going to be a very very good thing, because after all the G2 and DZ are essentially the same phones and run the same custom ROMs, so it will be good to have everything in one place. I think it will also encourage people who develop things to check how they work on both the G2 and DZ.
I've no idea how existing threads are going to be handled, but I'm sure the mods have it all in hand.
So soon, we're going to be sharing a single audience, and G2's and DZ's have their own different stock ROMs (e.g. HTC Sense on the DZ, just for a start). So when we post up about a basic problem with out phones, it's going to make it even more important to say which phone/ROM we have !
Must be a good thing. A lot of people may think that they are completely different phones.
What it will do is reduce duplication and "walking distance" by keeping everything applicable in the same place.
The phones aren't "basically" the same, they are IDENTICAL. And don't say "frequency", because there are more than two sets of frequencies available on them despite having ONLY 2 common named.
sounds like a good idea to me

Agreed. It's silly re-inventing the wheel for the DZ and G2 forums.

Well, to be fair, they're not identical, because they have different HBOOT, different partitioning (very small difference), and different keyboard layouts.
But all those are minor issues - we don't need to mess with HBOOT now we've got gfree, so that counts out the first issue. The second issue is I think only one for a stock ROM. And the third issue is a very common one on all phones, they usually are made with different keyboard layouts for different regions, and custom ROMs should be able to handle this by add-on keymaps, or even better, options to switch keyboard layout.
Sounds like a good idea to me. Gives assistance on both ends from knowledgeable users on both ends of the field. +1.
[G2/HTC Vision]
Great thinking. Right now it is like making a hospital for each person, based on their surnames. Lol.
****, i came from the TP2 section.. there are many different iterations of it (US=4-6 models because of US carriers -- Euro=5+ because of the different country languages).. many of them use different keyboard layouts.. but there was a quick fix by installing a keyboard fix .cab file (which i always had to use for my TmoUSA TP2 layout to fix the ALT key and the HOME button) since Cookers mainly used one ROM language & layout, which is WWE (world wide English).
but anyways, this shouldn't be a problem really, even tho the internals are a bit different.
Please tell me which you prefer:
1. Full Merge
Four forums (the usuals) for both the G2 and DZ
2. Dev Merge
Merge DZ with G2 dev forum, delete DZ dev forum (which will have zero threads). Keep individual G2/DZ forums for general, accessories, themes and apps.

It seems that their the only subsection which actually gets heavy usage is the General Forum. The rest is very very dead. I suggest a full merge of the all but the General Forum section. Most of their users are on the sense rom and most of ours are on the froyo stock. I think a full merge of the General forums will only produce confusion for the noods and make it harder for any order to come about. Perhaps we can leave the two general forums separated for now and slowly see if the amount of traffic will change on its own favoring one side. If so, one can be killed.

I feel a full merge would be more beneficial and less complicated...just my 2ยข
Hmmm,... That does sound better than a full merge. General Desire Z, General G2, Q&A?, Accessories, Dev, Themes/Apps, .... all under HTC Vision.
I'll edit my reply at our end too.

Just my opinion of course, and I respect everyone else's too, but aren't there a lot more "General" issues in common with both phones than unique ones ?

I don't know if this is a good idea... people will be bricking phones left and right. For example, the Magic and the Wizard. The wizard has a G4 board and a G3 board. Caused a lot of bricks before they were seperated. The Magic has a 32a and 32b... never seperated and still causes bricks because of different SPLs. They should have been seperated. The G2/Desire Z have different bootloaders and a completely different framework. This could cause more trouble than convience. I still think the Magic should be seperated into 32a and 32b dev sections...

yea i rather have them separated and not merged since they do differ a bit from each other.. i don't wanna see extra confusion, and extra clutter.. TP2 was a different story.. only GSM & CDMA was separated (not by US/Euro).. and all roms were mostly WWE & one keyboard layout.. so u would have to fix it (via .cab) post-flash.
I vote full merge. And i have to say that the g2 q n a is always active.

full merge. im here most of the time anyways. Even some of the roms (evil D) contain 2 different versions in the same thread.

Okay, I can't believe I actually have to ask this question. I've read comments all over the web from people who got the new Gingerbread OTA update for their Nexus One's Feb 28th, but I haven't seen any actual screenshots of the UI (just of the About Phone page).
Engadget says the update comes from Google, which to me means AOSP. If I had instead heard it came from HTC, I would then assume it was Sense. With no new ROMs (as of the writing of this post) based on the new build, I have no other information recourse.
Can someone please just tell me if this new OTA update has Sense installed or not?
The Nexus one is (i think!) built by HTC though it has no HTC branding. It has Standard Android OS - No Sense!
Hope this helps!
the nexus doesnt use sense, only htc phones use sense

Thank you for your input, but the Nexus One was built by HTC.
No more like HTC branded phones only use sense e.g. HTC Desire, HTC HD2/LEO, HTC Desire HD (You don't see a HTC Nexus one on it's name do you?). The nexus one is a google branded phone, hence the name Google Nexus One. So it will never receive sense in any of its updates.
Let me post this link to put the flaming down to a minimum here:
http://www.htc.com/www/product/nexusone/specification.html
No where does it say that there will never be sense on the device.

Read the article over at Android Central as well. They explain how the sky is not falling over this. You wouldn't know it reading gizmodo or other tech sites.

Yeah and it only affects stock Sense firmware as well

Sure it is not effecting anyone in this forum because we have rooted our phones and running costum roms, which by the way we had to breach the htc user agreement to do so .but remember majority of htc owners wont root their phones and i bet they are the ones who wont read that article.
my point is its sad to see a company like htc selling phones which enables anyone with a pc to spy on you and if you try to fix it yourself, you have to void your waranty (technically).
i suppose this is what happens when you try to luckdown an open platform. really root access
should be an option out of the box on all android phones.
I'm guessing that non-rooted Desires are affected because they have Sense(?), but the T-Mobile G2 does not have Sense. It does have the "Tell HTC" entry in the settings menu, but I've never gone in there or enabled it as far as I remember. I looked for the HtcLoggers.apk file, but couldn't find it in my /system/apps so I'm guessing I'm safe (though not sure if that is because I haven't triggered "Tell HTC" yet or because the G2 ROM itself is safe).
The G2 is not listed on the list of affected phones on the Android Police site, but their list looks a bit incomplete so I'm wondering if anyone has any more specific knowledge about the susceptibility of Desire and G2? (Desire yes, G2 no?)
One interesting thing that may come of this is the escalation of the need to be able to push important patches faster than the current ecosystem allows. I keep hearing talk that Google is working to reduce the fragmentation and delays in shipping new ROMs, but I don't see much happening in practice...
Is it just me, or all the phones listed on their site run at least Sense 3.0?
