Hi guys,
My parents were so happy this christmas to give me a chinese smartwatch...I don't even know what model is, is something like an apple watch clone, with GSM feature and camera...it's terrible!
I hate chinese app, so I really don't want to install any chinese spyware on my phone just to setup time
Is there something to make this thing usefull? opensource app for android? custom rom?
thank you in advance

Hi guys,
I'm new to the android development, and I want to sell apps through the Market.
But I don't know how much $Money/month I will get from Android Market.
I just want to ask, how much I will get if I make 1 simple 3D game like 'Speed Forge 3D', or 'Deadly Chambers' ??
Btw, thank you very much
HI guys,
Newb here, My dad has been using a samsung omnia gt I900 for some years, ive been trying to convrt him to android and now wondering in with all the advances if it is possible to put an android OS on a microsoft phone. I might regret asking this question but taught i would give it a go , as you developers are coming up with some amazing sh*t these days.
:good:
Nothing is impossible but the important factor is reality. I'm not an expert but I know when you port a new OS you need to write drivers and programs to control the underlying hardware. This is especially difficult if you are unrelated to the phone manufacturer.
So no you won't be able to change the phone to Android.
Remember everyone is different, especially across age groups. You should chat to your dad and find out what he likes and doesn't like about the Omnia. If he really likes certain things about Windows, have a look at upgrading him to a newer WP8 model; it has many more features and he'd get an upgrade to WP10 too. However maybe he would like testing out an Android or iPhone. Go to a phone store sometime with him
Hi
I have a weird question...
Is it possible to port (?) an Android Wear ROM to android smartphone? I mean, I have an old X8 which is nothing but catching dust on the shelf. I thought about I can use it as a smartwatch (it is small enough ). But as it is on normal cyanogenmod, it cannot be like watch. So as I wrote above, is it possible to flash such a rom on normal android smartphone?
Sorry for asking stupid questions and thanks for any replies
Excellent idea.

Bump
Any answers? Please
I'm sure it's possible because Android Wear is still Android at the core, would probably require a lot of work, rewriting the kernel, getting drivers to work, etc. and AFAIK there is no source code for the OS, only the kernel, so that would make it even more challenging.
Now that is the info I wanted
Thanks @DarkRazorZ
Theoretically, couldn't you use the Wear launcher with an app that intercepts your phone's notifications?
Theoretically yes, but in practice it is not as good as whole rom. I used that launcher when it was as preview and it wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. I just wanted to know if porting (or building?) similar rom for very small phones is possible
I think everything is possible, but keep the original ROM
Hey everyone, i have been an apple fan for quite some time now (literally my whole life)! All my phones are iPhones, all my products are apple! I have become a complete Apple enthusiast. However, after a simple 20 minutes, playing with samsung galaxy s6 edge+, i completely fell in love with the design and went into sprint to trade my iPhone for an Edge+! I been using the Edge+ for about a month now and i have no regrets to be honest, i simply love it.
Now my curious question which surely has been answered numerous of time, what is the purpose of root on android devices? I understand that for IOS jailbreak offered access to manipulate certain features of the phone that were not intended otherwise. However, android offer customization from the start. So why else would i need to root my android device?
The only reasons i want to get root from the little bit of research ive done is to obtain more languages and remove bloatware. I want to install French and German languages for my phone (I'm studying both languages), as well as remove all the infamous bloatware the Samsung phones have. What rom would i need to be able to do both those things?
Also any other things i should get for my phone when rooting? Any help is appreciated! Help my Android switch journey become a fulfilled dream lol
I rooted my first phone an Samsung Galaxy S2 just because i didn't liked the audio qualtity when using headphones. There are still great apps like "viper4android" for this purpose. Then to remove ads. I still haven't rooted my S6 edge plus and the ads are driving me crazy.
After rooting you can rewrite your whole system with a different Rom & Kernel. It always feels like as if you have a new phone. Rooting is fun if you know what you are doing.
With root you can do a lot of things. Like installs new roms, kernels, audio "hacks"/tweaks and generally tweak almost everything. However you need knowledge for this are it comes with risks. If this phone is your primary phone I will suggest you to not root alter it in any way unless it's something really important. Ofc you can buy another cheaper phone and your secondary experimental phone but this will cost ofc. If you still want to proceed read guides. Read a lot. Read guides here on XDA and everywhere else. Rooting and flashing comes always with various risks.
You can disable bloatware without having root. Take a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/guide-bloating-touchwizzing-note-5-t3184563
That is a great idea, however my main reason for rooting is adding more language features for my phone. I want to be able to convert my phone from french to german to any other language i see fit. I would still need to root the phone unless there is another way for me to do that?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For that you dont need rooting. Simply go to settings -> language and input -> at language choose which one you want and the device will simply start using that language.
Hello people most of you gave up. I know its a pretty hard thing to do but i know some android developer and some people from microsoft too. Could you just tell me what we need to have to make android possible? Is it only a bootloader or what do we need? If you give me direct information i can forward it to the developers. Its pretty sad when people say buy an android phone if you dont like the lumia. The problem is the camera. There is not a single phone with a camera like this. I really dont want to spend 800dollar just to have a similar camera.
Have a nice day and maybe we make it work
hello, I am also interested in having an android rom on lumia 950, I don't know if it is possible to get the Driver Binaries of (camera,sensors...) from the original windows 10 rom, it will be a very good phone with an android rom , I hope that the developpers try to create one.
