Hey guys, I know you've seen a lot of some emulators on the Play store, for all kind of old-school consoles, NES, SNES, N64... Most of them are released under GPL license, so yes, they are open source. Sadly, the UI design doesn't match with Android's holo (4.0+) style. So, my proposal is simple. Let's develop a couple of free, open source emulators, from XDA members, with a proper UI (I can help with that, I've written a couple of modern looking apps: LockIt, wRotatr, Halo)))). My weak point is JNI. I hate it. Period. I will need a lot of help to get the emulators buiding, but after I get them, you will see a lot of UX/UI improvements.
Sources can be found here. I'd like to start with Nesoid. So, is anybody here, expert on JNI development, willing to help me on this? :good:
Cheers,
D4.
Bumping this, I have archieved some UI fixes. Still not able to build native libraries.

Any news on your progress?

I haven't been able to build native libraries yet. Without that there's no emulation
How's the emulation overhaul coming along? Seems like a great project

I'm trying another UI attempt, but it's not yet working (emulation still broken, I haven't found anyone to help me with JNI)

So I was just doing some research and it seems that 3.0 HoneyComb is just going to be for tablets. So my question is since it will be released for the tablets is there anyway to take the os to make a phone version or is this not possible. I know all this is premature as most phones don't even have gingerbread yet but the tabs like the g-slate from lg and the dell coming in Q2 its not that far away. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas on this topic?

I would imagine a lack of resolution would be the problem or pointlessness in using honeycomb.
If you look at my thread from a week or so ago with the honeycomb and motoxoom preview, a few members mentioned something like that, that some features would make it to a phone version of honeycomb,.... I did some googleing, but couldn't find anything. Fingers crossed though, we live in hope.
Watch the interview with Matias Duarte on Engadget. He says Honeycome is absolutely the future of all Android devices, and it will intelligently scale itself to provide the best experience per form factor.
The idea that it is only for tablets is from a very unclear line in a video that was made to emphasize the benefits of android 3 for tablets (vs anything else that anybody is running on tablets).
I.e., it means that they have added special provisions to make it good on tablets. NOT that they have taken phones out of the picture.

LiteCoin is a a crypto-currency, like BitCoin. Unlike like BitCoin's GPU hungry system, LiteCoin is CPU friendly making it easier to mine. What is mining? http://foreverrising.wordpress.com/2011/06/15/what-is-bitcoin-and-what-is-bitcoin-mining/
Nice I like it ................
Excellent, I'm going to give this a shot!
I'm going to lower the minimum sdk version to Android 2.1 to be able to reach more devices.

The market link no longer works. Could you at least upload the apk of the free version? Thanks!
what user/password do i put there, and how it knows where to send my minings?
Gaining bitcoins
Can you actually gain bitcoins by using this app
Sorry I'm a noob with bitcoins
does it support stratum and dogecoin?
So, I was very bored, and I made a concept. I'm sure you've all seen GridOS, and I know that you've probably seen many people asking for it. I really wish we could get something like this going on android. I know literally nothing about creating apps (yet) but I wonder if the designer of Launcher 7 would be interested, my concept is basically a 4-way-scrollable version of his existing app. I'd be willing to help with graphics in ANY way.

It would be nice to see grid os, I thought it was built on android? They say they can use android apps so I'm assuming yes we just need to port or *a* port.

Actually, this isn't just a theme. This is a hopeful development thread for a full-fledged home replacement app. I contacted the developer of Launcher 7, and he said that he doesn't have time to work on anything right now. He did say, however, that he was playing around with the idea of a Windows 8 launcher for android, but that this looked much more interesting.
Very interesting idea, actually more interesting than the Win8 layout itself. I haven't got right now time for coding tablet, but if I prototype it again, I'll definitely look at this approach over win8.

"Minuum is a tiny, one-dimensional keyboard that frees up screen space while allowing fast, accurate typing.
Current technology assumes that sticking a full typewriter into a touchscreen device is the best way to enter text, giving us keyboards that are error-prone and cover up half the usable screen space (or more) on most smartphones and tablets."
"Minuum, on the other hand, eliminates the visual clutter of archaic mobile keyboards by adapting the keyboard to a single dimension. What enables this minimalism is our specialized auto-correction algorithm that allows highly imprecise typing. This algorithm interprets in real time the difference between what you type and what you mean, getting it right even if you miss every single letter."
Link to the APK for developmental use only, please do not install the apk unless you are a verified tester and are following the Minuum Teams terms of use.
Mod edit. Link has been removed as this is for private beta testing only.
Been looking for this, thank you.

this. Don't like to be the party pooper lol - but this is considered piracy. Not bad intentions of the OP for trying to share though.
Moderator update.
Link has been removed. This is not for public release yet but for private beta testing only. Please do not post until the creator of the app allows you to do so.

Nextbit Baton offers several benefits to users, including:
Sync: Keeps apps and data in sync across multiple devices, allowing users to move fluidly from one device to the next without missing a beat.
Pass: Send any open app in its current state to another device, saving time and eliminating the tedious process of manually finding and opening apps on different devices.
Backup and restore: Save apps and data to your Nextbit profile in the cloud, so you can always get your apps back on any device.
Nextbit’s private beta is exclusively on CyanogenMod, the leading open-source, community-driven Android OS backed by Cyanogen Inc. The future public release of Nextbit will be available first on the commercially distributed Cyanogen operating system.
“Cyanogen continues to reimagine Android by introducing bold new firsts,” said Kirt McMaster, CEO of Cyanogen. “Nextbit represents one of these platform firsts that could only manifest on a truly open Android. We enable Baton to become a native OS level feature, creating huge benefit for our users.”
