Skip over it to avoid possibly flame war :-P.

Why not just run Linux then, why push OS X. The scripts outlined on most of XDA are BASH scripts. It just so happens that the BASH shell is default in both OS X and most flavors of Linux. That's as far as that goes, though.

OS X having a modified BSD core (Darwin) (which was an official Berkely fork) makes OS X closer to the original UNIX than Linux is.

If the compilations are done using C, then yeah, a *nix environment would probably be best, as scripts, makefiles, compilers, etc. lend themselves well to the BASH shell, which is the default terminal interface in both OS X and Linux. Though as you said, if it's just apps, it doesn't really make a difference. I can't quite comment on the ROMs and Kernels aspect of it for sure because I haven't dabbled around in there.

Assuming the guy doesn't have a Mac or a hackintosh, it'd probably be best to install an easy-to-use Linux distribution such as Ubuntu or Fedora (The former has more support for...everything).

When I had my old Macbook I tri-booted it. It ran OS X so I had a solid, BSD-based OS to do my daily work in, Windows for when I wanted to play a game or use some Windows only program, and Ubuntu, for when I wanted OSS power, easy access to the GTK, Linux only programs, dev'ing, etc.

Wish I could tri-boot my new Macbook, but something they changed in the EFI when they switched to the unibodies is making that not very possible for me :(. Guess I'll have to resort to Wubi then, lmao.
[Android Software Development] RichardUK:
Been a coder for a long time, since Vax mainframe days using a 220 terminal. Any how although Visual Studio is the god of all IDEs for android I prefer Ubuntu 10.4. I have a 64 bit system and installation was as easy as falling of a log. With the work's 64 bit windows system had a few problems, have to use the 32bit java sdk. But once running they are just the same only that Linux has a better shell for an old school hacker like me. ;)

So in short, as someone else said, as it's mainly using Eclipse it's the same feel what ever the client OS.

I'm a Linux fan but was once a Windows die hard, Ubuntu changed that. :cool:
[Android Software Development] Syndacate:
I agree for the most part. Only reason I don't use Linux full time (I used to) is because I like some programs better on Windows (ie. Notepad++, WinSCP) in which there's just NO good alternatives in Linux for. I mean yeah, GEdit or Kate come decently close to NP++, but they're not as good, IMO. Also, I haven't found any program for Linux that can handle live save listening on opened files (ie. you save and it uploads)..not quite sure why.

What I would disagree with is that Visual Studio is the "god of all IDEs" - it's simply not. I'm pretty sure they completely yanked intellisense for anything but C#, the intellisense sucks to begin with (that of other IDEs such as Eclipse, XCode, or QTCreator I have found to be much better), and just about every feature fails in comparison to other alternatives.

For cross platform Java, both Eclipse and Netbeans trump pretty much all. Netbeans is another OSS Java IDE (written in Java) which is pretty epic. For C/C++ I typically use XCode (if I'm on OS X) or QTCreator.

I guess if XCode wasn't around and I had to write in C/C++, QTCreator would be my favorite. Symbol matching rocks, it scales well to large projects, code completion and that jazz is all pretty epic. In general it's cross platform, open source, fast as ****, and runs well - I love it.

Even though it's "tailored" to QT (just has all the headers and docs for QT built in), it works just fine as a general purpose IDE.
[Android Software Development] michiganenginerd:
Enjoy the Mac Pro, but I'd stick with Windows + Eclipse, based on that statement alone.

You'll find a lot of value in being able to leverage yoru C# skills as you try your hand at android. I write WCF Rest services & use fiddler, etc as I build android applications.

After you spend a few days with Eclipse, you'll never realized how spoiled .NET developers are. The tooling in Visual Studio is so good, it's tough to get back into Java land.

For those brave souls using Honeycomb daily on their Nooks, what kind of tweaks are you doing to help with performance/compatibility?

Thanks in advance!

Bot
[Nook Color General] Mumnoch:
I'd also like to know if there are tweaks you can do to makc HC stable/perfered for the nook, anyone using it full time?
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
If you already have it installed on the eMMC with an overclocked kernel you have done all you can do.

Honeycomb development pretty much died the day Google said that their was going to be no source code release. We might never see a "stable" Honeycomb for the Nook Color.

With that said, many people has been working on making Froyo and CM7 better in Honeycomb's absence. I personally think the Tablet Tweaks CM7 version is more useable than even the Honeycomb on a Xoom I tried (at least our SD card slots work), and for people who are DYING for Honeycomb there is the NookieComb which is Froyo hacked to act like Honeycomb.

Take a look at the development forum for more information.
[Nook Color General] nolook:
you can turn off all transition animations to get a bit of a speed boost...also opera mobile is much faster (but not as nice) as the HC browser

im running it off emmc and its actually very stable for web/reading...video isnt great yet and there is a bit of UI lag but IMO very usable...
[Nook Color General] swaaye:
I thought Google said they just delayed the 3.0 release. I read into that that 3.0 is a disaster right now and they are still trying to make it a clean product. I think Ipad is scaring them and they are moving into overdrive at Google trying to get ahead (meaning 3.0 came out before it was really ready).
[Nook Color General] dshulman:
I totally agree. Google doesn't want to let a half baked product out the door when you know the ipad 2 will be stellar.
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
The head developer of Android has said that AOSP won't be released until the phone features are merged, which means no code until Ice Cream.
[Nook Color General] xdabr:
So if the original ETA for Ice Cream was summer 2011, then I guess we see nothing until at least Christmas?

Meaning that Android tablets have been dealt a death blow for <b>another</b> year?

I am so glad for the independent developers working so hard at XDA.
[Nook Color General] nolook:
i could be wrong but am pretty sure something will get 'leaked' before then....
[Nook Color General] jahfry:
I don't think Google minds -too- much that they are slowing down tablet development anyway. They've made it clear they want the "final solution" for tablets to be ChromeOS. Android for tablets is just a stop-gap measure.

You should know how to install these, if you don't then you shouldn't be downloading them in the first place.

[Android Apps and Games] SwiftLegend:
I saw these on another website, can't remember which. They said that most of the apps install, but don't run. Can you confirm this?
[Android Apps and Games] NikolaiT:
If you delete the current versions (preferably making a backup first, the three that won't install/FC (Gallery, Desk Clock, Test Market) they should work.

Cubes live wallpaper works on cm7 rc4 nook color, but its nothing special at all. Just a rotating 3d cube. Reminds me of the 80s.

Actually the file installed 2 identical wallpapers. The second has settings but it force closes when I select settings.
[Android Apps and Games] akanishilin:
The test version of Market is 2.2.11 that was released 2 months ago. It'll automatic update to v2.3.4 when you run the app.
[Android Apps and Games] xriderx66:
nope, none of those work besides Music, idk about the market wont even try.

It was on AndroidCentral or something

Music works great, i love the new UI, but they ssaid none of the others will work right now
[Android Apps and Games] Killbynature:
You need to move camera and gallery to system/app and give them all permissions on use root explorer to do this nothing knew about it except the camera records in 480p. Also the gallery loads faster.
[Android Apps and Games] Deleted member 2842059:
You should know how to install these, if you don't then you shouldn't be downloading them in the first place.

And how might one learn when negative statements like this are posted? At some point you didn't know how to do this as well. I come to these forums to learn new things and I try my best to pass those lessons, tips and tricks on and teach as best as I can. Isn't that what every XDA member should aspire to?
[Android Apps and Games] NikolaiT:
These are test versions. They're not meant for people who do not know what they're doing.

------------------------------------------------

Also, guys. Camera does work. I would not recommend trying the market because once you try to put your old market back, it will just FC when you try to install or update things.

Can confirm new Market (2.3.4), Music app & Camera app working on x10mini CM7 gigglebread (by Owain94) ;)

EDIT: Got the Live Cubes installed... awesome ****! :) - but whenever I want to change the cubes settings the Live Wallpaper Picker FC's...

EDIT2: Now I got the DeskClock widget working - had to install it to the phone - not on the sdcard :) - but hitting the app-icon in the drawer i get a FC... so no config possibilities :(

EDIT3: Found a possible reasing for the Gallery-app not working on x10mini - the manifest.xml doesn't allow LDPI :/ I can't get smali/baksmali working, so I can't do the fixing my self... If I provide a dev with LDPI png's would a they mind decompiling the app, editing the manifest.xml and recompiling it into to apps? On with LDPI png's and one without LDPI png's. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] PhoenixFx:
Yesterday there has been an accidental release of a new test market app and several other apps through it. You can find more info and a download link to those leaked apps here.

I tried to install the new music player, but no luck getting it to work. Currently running 2.3.3 JVK. When I ran the apk it asked if I want to replace the system music app, when I said yes it got installed. But still when I load the default music player its the same old one, no change. And there are no new shortcuts either. When I replaced the music player apk under /system/app and launch it I get a force close dialog for the new app. Let me know if any of you guys have any luck with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] lgkahn:
It runs fine on 2.2.1 but the streaming doesn't work nor does adding the Google acct.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] XlAfbk:
only camera works on JVK here. The previous version of music works, this one doesn't, either crashs the app or the whole system.

note that the signatures used to sign this one are also different from the previous ones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] rizzy123:
The previous version is also force closing. I backed up stock music player app with titanium backup and them uninstalled, I then installed the latest honeycomb music player which keeps force closing on me (am on stock jvk rom) tried uninstalling the latest music player and then revert back to stock, but titanium backup doesn't give me the option to restore even though it says I have 1 backup. I then resorted to the old honeycomb music player app which also force closes on me when I press play and now for some reason my titanium backup no longer shows the original stock app I backed up.

the above might seem a little confusing but an in a bit of a pickle and would like to restore the original stock music player. Currently using winamp and I hate not having the option to change track from the notification menu.

Anyone with any ideas please help.

Good question, I love the tether feature and only use it once in a while but when I need it I need it
[Thunderbolt General] ERIFNOMI:
Ad-hoc is computer to computer where as the wifi hotspot app handles connections like a real router. I believe this to be the case anyway. So, for example, when I was in Las Vegas I tried to set my laptop to stream videos to my xbox through Windows Media Center. I fired up my trusty droid thinking WiFi tether would help me out. But, it set-up an ad-hoc network and WMC will not stream to extenders over ad-hoc. I was kinda bummed.

[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
I've been wanting an Inspire for a long time and thought I would have had to pay full price for it rather than a consignment deal. Looks like I was wrong and I went ahead and snagged one.

This is just a purely outstanding phone. It is AT&T's version of the DesireHD and I've been using a DHD ROM on my HD2 for quite some time now. I'm very familiar with the ROM my Inspire has, all the setup and functionality, and setting this Inspire up was nothing new. There are a few minor difference here and there, though. I can say it is definitely smoother and cleaner and quicker than DHD on my HD2. :)

Not really sure if I will try to root it or not. The last time I tried to root a genuine Android phone was nothing shy of a pain and misery of frustration. It was a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G and it just would not root. That was the first and only time I ever attempted a root. It left me with a very sour experience. However, not being rooted, I can't use my backup programs like MyBackup or Titanium. Nor can I use my screen capture app, ShootMe. I don't really need to use any of those, though.

Anyway, I'm enjoying my Inspire and I look forward to interacting with and being "Inspired"...lol...at the XDA Inspire community. :)

Use the Simple Root but trust me, save yourself some later hassle and click the "Fixes" option when you're done and flash the ENG S-OFF (radio S-OFF) so if you change radios, you don't lose S-OFF plus you get engineering features like fastboot (allows you to flash new radio images for one but also allows you to try out images before you actually flash them, through fastboot, which can be handy when you aren't sure about something or you are testing a new ROM)
