I would love to use it, if it has a consistent UI. Modifying the UI to match the UI of Metro is a must, plus a full set of Metro Apps to disguise Android as much as possible.

CM7 should deffo be your base, but to get broad adoption and support you'd have to modify it in a way that still allows people to port it using the work already done to bring CM7 to other devices. The key to that is of course open source; the trouble people have porting MIUI is often because source isn't available.

If you are after monetisation you could keep the launcher closed source and have people pay to unlock extra features (CM7's launcher has a paid upgrade too). The core OS would have to stay open to encourage other developers to port it to their phones though.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ishred11:
A WP7 Rom has started. But its up to Thomas Barrasso, to see if we can use the WP7UI Library. Lots of features coming so stay tuned.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the.draconian:
Seems I'm a bit late to the game!

Only just bothered looking for such a ROM, so will update be put here? Or is there a development thread somewhere?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HypostaticOnion:
I know I'm late, but I think this is a great idea. I'd love to see some of the integration as seen in actual metro. I think something uber customizable such as cm7 or MIUI would be a good way to go. I'd love to help with development, but I have no computer and I'm a total noob. I know nothing about developing anything.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ishred11:
Stay tuned.. a lot of features coming..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 0space_monkey0:
i would love to see this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] relldroid:
I would use it no doubt, cm would indeed be better hands down, IMO I think more ppl would use this ROM then you think, it would be the first, the ultimate hybrid, MS would cry

Swyped from just about every ROM in the HD2 section
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EggoEspada:
So I guess this isn't happening?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ishred11:
Yes its coming.. we are working hard on it.. hang in there. You will love it..
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EggoEspada:
Good to hear! Love the work the team has put into their application suite. So I'm definitely looking forward to this ROM.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ieAnd:
I would most DEFINITELY use this! And pay money for it!

Also, it should be based off CyanogenMod 9 for better hardware acceleration/API support.

Ah, I can only dream of such a ROM running on my Galaxy Nexus...

Please let this happen! Please!

P.S. MIUI just went open source. Maybe it would be even easier/sexier if you used MIUI? Also, open source... jus' sayin'...

You could even pull a Google-esque model and keep the OS and core features open source, but only release the apps suite.(instead of gapps, we have MetroApps!) For a fee.

And I don't know if Microsoft would even care... they still make money off of every Android service sold!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sin-cal:
Hello all,

I have a Sprint Arrive, Just updated to 7720.68 via zune. I've been reading through alot of this forum, an am thoroughly lost. I would like to be able to load up apps to the phone that I get from wherever. I know I need to be unlocked to do this. Can someone take a minute or two to outline what needs to be done an where I can find the info on what I need to do. Would be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Botoxopfer:
would be interested aswell...

updated through zune and now lost my unlock :/
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IM0001:
There is no Unofficial way to unlock a Arrive at the moment. Officially you will have to be a developer ($99 a year unless your a student, then it is free through the Dreamspark site) or wait until Microsoft releases the Unlock Tool which is for users to sideload apps and will have a one time charge of $20 I believe. Not to bad either way.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] TopazAaron:
Ok guys, I've read that it was possible and haven't actually found a tut that explained for our device how to get them working. So this evening I spent alot of time just doing it my self.

Warning: I am not responsible for what happens to your device.

This guide requires a paid app.

1. Download Chainfire 3D

https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

2. Buy and Download Chainfire 3D Pro

https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

3. Open Chainfire 3D, Go to CF3D driver

4. Click the check mark (BETA) EGL Driver and then press install driver. after it installs it will reboot

5. After that, Download the Nividia Plugin for the app.

http://www.multiupload.com/94PSL9M1YP

6. Copy the zip file into the internal sdcard, Leave it as a .zip file.

7. Open Chainfire 3D and go to Install plugins / shaders. and install the niviida plugin.

8. After this go to the main screen of chainfire 3D and click fix market links.

9. Download Nividia Tegra Zone

https://market.android.com/details?i...=search_result

10. Open Chainfire and navigate to "Per-app OpenGL Settings"

11. Find TegraZone Games

12. Uncheck "Use Default Settings"

13. Find Use Plugin and select Nividia

Now the Tegra Zone will open and run as it would on a tegra device.

You can find games to get in there / buy

Once you download a game you will have to go to Chainfire/per-app settings/game name and uncheck default settings/ use plugin nividia.

I have tested with 3 free games and they all work with no issues.

I hope this helps people who was looking for this.

If you have any questions I will help as much as i can.

Thanks

Aaron

[Motorola Droid Bionic] TopazAaron:
So further testing. The Samuri 2 game, works but has bugs. The menu to select new/load/ game isnt showing up. You can press on the screen blindly and try to find where they are. but i only can find new game lol. so playing this game is pointless.

I bought a ton of gameloft games for $0.99 (some special thing) on my Xoom. I had to download the .apks from the site (not from the market).

will the apks even install? or is there some protection thing where I can only install the games on my Xoom?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TopazAaron:
I really don't think that would matter. They should install with no problems. Copy the .apk on ur sdcard of your bionic and go in the file manager and install them. They should work.

Worked, but odd shader errors

Instructions worked like a charm. Got three games and they run fine.

Few shader bugs it seems...

Get "Warning: Shader Error!!!" on screen in galaxy on fire 2, i dont get any lag at all though like a previous poster mentioned...

The water in Sprinkle looks like a mass of circles instead of water...

The start screen in Samuri II is not visable, along with opening story screen....

an FYI for samuri II: To start a game hit the in the bottom left corner of screen. Then a grey box shows.. tap the left side to resume game. (got this off looking at my buddies photon 4g to get the location of the virtual buttons so i could play :))

I downloaded Gameloft's Asphalt 5 from Android Market.

When I ran the app, it tried connecting to Gameloft's servers to download the bulk of the game's data. Then it said my device was not supported.

Do Gameloft games check a device whitelist after installing the APK?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Nismo6921:
Disappointed...

I'm having to use Chainfire3D Pro 2.8 Cracked Version.

Because the 3.0 Download in the Market is broken.

The 2.8 version unable to fix the majority of Market Links, I am only able to download one game. Dungeon Defender.:mad:

The beta driver installed fine.

The Nvidia installed fine.

But the Market still says my phone is incompatible with most of the games.

Does anyone have the Chainfire3D Pro 3.0 Apk that I can download?

Cause I'd like to see if that makes any difference with the Market Links.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] TopazAaron:
Sorry, I do not support piracy, So i will not be-able to help you find Cracked Versions. If you want the app. Pay for it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] adbloch:
OK, so I followed your instructions, but the Market still says my device is incompatible, even after running the Market fix. The Tegra Zone app, however, no longer says that I don't have a Tegra device, so that's a good sign. Any suggestions?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Code Geass:
Hi,

Just wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with the Samsung Service Centre in the UK?

I phoned Samsung (0330 SAMSUNG) this afternoon regarding the static noises that my phone creates during calls. The troubleshooting failed so they asked to send my phone for repair to Glasgow on the below address:

Regenersis PLC

Express Repair Area

32 Fountain Drive

Inchinnan Business Park

Renfrewshire

PA4 9RF

They e-mailed me using the e-mail address svcmail@samsung.com which seems to be legit. I'm just curious just to why they don't have a dedicated repair centre. Is this the right address for the Samsung Repair Centre? My phone is all packed up now and ready to be sent tomorrow.

Any thoughts?

[HTC EVO 3D] bsims85:
I bought the Evo 3D on launch day, but returned it shortly after because I needed some money due to a sudden emergency. I am now thinking about buying it again. One of the issues i had was the camera flash made little to no difference in low light pictures. I have read in a few threads that a recent update fixed an issue with shutter lag, but have found nothing in regards to the flash issue. I would just like to know if the pictures in low light situations have improved with recent OTA updates.

I know people will say "its just a cell phone, buy a camera." I understand that completely. Im just trying to weigh my options as to what my next phone will be.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
The flash has always helped me, update or not. it lights up what you're taking a pic of. Its impossible for it NOT to help. So yes, the flash works. The only problem with the camera prior to update that bugged me was the green tint. That's been resolved now though. No issues with that.

There is a camera mod floating around if you root that turns off the picture compression and adds a few new features (panorama, scene modes and hdr - except I see no difference with the hdr). Pics look worlds better without the compression, mostly noticeable on a larger screen.
[HTC EVO 3D] bsims85:
I just wondered, because with my EVO 4G, I never really had problems taking pictures. I had tons of problems taking pics in even moderately low light with the 3D. I changed every setting possible. I just have to check it out. Thanks for your input

Hello,

WiFi doesn't work with my HTC HD2 under SD AmericanAndroid Version 2.3.5.

It takes a long time until the wireless switcher is turned on and after a few seconds the switcher goes automatically to "off". Bluetooth works normal.

In Windows Mobile there's no problem - both Bluetooth and WiFi are fine.

I've tested severall versions of Android (SD and NAND), tried SD card reformatting- always the same effect, no WiFi under Android.

I've already tried hardware and software reset - also without problem solution.

Any ideas?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoanger:
Sorry guys, did searching all day on google as well as on here and to no avail.

Just got my Infuse 4G on Rogers running on 2.3.3 Gingerbread and I'm wondering if the Infused ROM will work on this? I've heard that it can get tricky when dealing with certain ROMs.

What precautions do I have to take? A lot of the details in the ROM thread confuse the hell out of me since I have no idea what kernels and stuff are.

I've already rooted the phone. I'm pretty much a noob that has crossed over from the iPhone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Installation procedure coming from Rogers stock may be a little different than the typical procedures, however, Infused will be compatible - in fact Infused 2.x is based on your ROM!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hoanger:
Thank you!

I came across this instruction thread from android forums and it's quite a bit different than the instructions that the dev made on this site in the thread. Should this work even though it says Galaxy S i9000 when my device is the i997?

Infused. (Different versions are availible, but this is the basis to all verisons)

How to perform a full installation from stock: (Downloading Rom Manger per the instructions, is by far the easiest way to install this rom......Mr. Terrigno approves!)

1) First get root and install modded 3e recovery. (modded 3e recovery how-to at the bottem)

2) Install ROM Manager from the Market and launch it.

3) Select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and choose "Galaxy S i9000".

4) If you've booted into CWM recovery since installing it, skip to step 5. If not, select "Reboot into Recovery". When 3e recovery comes up, select reinstall packages by pressing the power button. You will have to select it twice and then CWM recovery will come up. Select "reboot system now".

5) In ROM Manager, go to "Download ROM", select my section (gtg465x), select the latest release, and hit the download button.

6) When you get to the "Installation Type" prompt, select "Full".

7) Select your addons and follow the on screen prompts.

8) When you get to the "ROM Pre-Installation" prompt, select "Wipe Data and Cache". You can uncheck "Wipe Dalvik" as it's included in "Wipe Data and Cache".

9) Press OK and hold your breath. When 3e recovery comes up, just select reinstall packages.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Those instructions are for when coming from AT&T stock Froyo.

If you are on rooted Gingerbread, use gtg's "CWM Installation Instructions" from the ROM thread.

Perfect. Thanks! I'l try it when I get home.

I hope it all goes smooth!

Thanks in advance...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] wx690:
This is how I did it on my wife's new Infuse from Rogers. Note that I make no claims as to whether the following is right/correct/most efficient way of doing it - all I know is that I was able to get it installed (previously tried Serendipity VII without success). Also note that I started with the following ODIN stock ROM due to an unsuccessful Serendipity install:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1193927&highlight=uxkg3

a) I installed the following kernel so that I can get to the CWM doesn't check the file signature (I recall the stock rom above is only rooted, but doesn't have the non-checking CWM).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1197248

I tried installing 'recovery' (ie: CWM) manually, but the location of that file is different from where the AT&T Infuses are located (/system/bin?). And for some reason, if I recall, 'recovery' on my Infuse is located in more than one place; the funny thing is that when I rename it and reboot, the original one gets placed in again (tried copying it over and also deleting it). I eventually had to resort to installing the kernel instead. Anyways....

b) I followed the 'CWM Installation Instructions' from the Infused message thread below. The exceptions that I encountered are noted in red:

CWM Installation Instructions:

1) You must be rooted.

2) If you have a /Voodoo folder on your internal SD card, delete it and reboot.

3) If you're already running a custom ROM with Voodoo lagfix FULLY enabled, you can skip to step 7.

I tried to do 4), 5) and 6), but for some reason, it did not convert the filesystem to ext4. Therefore, I converted via the CWM from a) instead.

4) Download CWM-community-kernel-v8.zip if you're on Froyo or CWM-infused-v2.0.1-kernel.zip if you're on Gingerbread and place it on your internal SD card.

5) Install SGS Kernel Flasher from the Market.

6) Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.

Rest of the steps are the same:

7) Download update-infused-v2.X.X-full.zip and place it on your internal SD card.

8) Power off your phone.

9) With the phone powered off, hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release. This should boot you into RED CWM.

10) Select "install zip from sdcard" and select update-infused-v2.X.X-full.zip.

11) Once that finishes, select "wipe data/factory reset".

12) Select "reboot system now".

Good luck!
