By the way,

I have declared the goods for 500 dollars instead of 1500,

the tax comes up to near 80 pounds.
[Glass General] gbohm:
in germany that would be tax fraud.... and they are very good in finding it out
[Glass General] Hawke84:
Also tax fraud in the UK and not hard to spot. Customs are pretty hot on it and all that will happen is they will be taken
[Glass General] qwerp_:
Its a grey area,

1. There is no retail price tag on the device.

2. Its not brand new, sold off second hand by a friend. Hence cannot set RRP on the device.

3. Declared it as a "Camera and Video Recording Device" which then is not totally inappropriate. (still a device that does picture and videos).

just my 2 cents.

I'm an android developer who wants to develop for windows mobile 8 as well. Can anyone tell me how difficult it is learning the APIs and tools in comparison with android ? I have never done any type of windows development before and I'm not familiar with anything about it.

Is there an official developers phone for windows mobile like the nexus for android?

Thanks.
[C, C++, C# and Other Windows Phone Development] kmk68:
Hi.

I tried developing for android. Through the first half of the year, maybe ...

I would add that I am a professional programmer but not mobile applications.

Android programming was not easy for me. Mainly because of the many versions of android, the trouble of tools ...

Often I had some strange behavior of the application that turned out to be a problem with the environment. Eclipse was terribly slow, the emulator is often crash ...

I jumped to WP8 - and I am delighted :) It's much easier for me. Microsoft VS (C #) + XNA ... works as it should.

I'm not a professional in mobile applications - it's just a hobby.

But I'm a professional in programming (ABAP, Delphi, assembler, C #) and I can appreciate a good tool.

I do not know what you used for the android, but this way it should be easier for you :)

Phone... HTC 8S/8X recommend - if you are not doing any great production.

It's cheap. It works stably. And enforces a resource-saving;)

See you.

Kajetan

P. S. My first app to WP8 - a little crazy - OrbDefender.
[C, C++, C# and Other Windows Phone Development] bellissimo75:
I have recently ported to Windows 8 and Android from iOS (Windows Phone 8 would be very similar Windows 8).

Personally I find the Windows environment to be far superior from a development point of view. The liberal use of bindings means that most of your front end is purely xml, and there is little time consuming and error prone manual linking up of the widgets. Even better than that though is the speed of testing. For a Windows 8 app you can make a code change and deploy it, an you are testing your change 3 or 4 seconds later.

With Android, you make a code change, deploy it, go and make a cup of tea, then when you have finished drinking it, the app is (maybe) ready to test. When you spend a lot of time fiddling around and making things just so, then this can eat up many many frustrating hours.

Then again, windows has a much much smaller user base and users don't seem overly keen on paying. Shame really...
[C, C++, C# and Other Windows Phone Development] mmark1:
Do you still develop for windows phone 8? Is it worth it? I'm not sure about its future.
[C, C++, C# and Other Windows Phone Development] angrynapkin:
I found WP development to be easier than Android. You don't have to worry about fragmentation issues - it is kind of like iOS, but with better development tools and a much smaller market share.

[About XDA developers] sidd:
Make sure u r going through the procedure.

1. Your WiFi capable device must be in the range of a Wireless Router (internet connected).

2. I assume that ur Wireless Router is set on security (allready set to allow specific users).

3. Every WiFi device has got an unique ID called MAC address, so your phone has also got a MAC address e.g: 00:09:2D:1F:34:E3. U have to go into the Wireless Router settings to enable ur WiFi phone.

4. Go into your Wireless Router settings (u need router's login ID & password to login) and add a device, give it ur phone's MAC address (Point 5) and a name (e.g. My XDA), Apply->Save->Logout. If ur Wireless router is security enabled then there must be a password called "WEP Key" e.g. "AE4ED24C54", now write it down to put it in your Phone to login to the Wireless Router to use the WiFi internet.

5. Find your phone's MAC address at: "Start->Settings->Connections(tab)->WLAN->(in the status: Not connected to network) click the bottom left Green button->click WLAN button(it will turn green from red)->ok->in the MAC: would be ur device MAC address(e.g: 00:09:2D:1F:34:E3). (write down on a piece of paper for the router settings).

6. As your phone is already "WiFi switched on" in point 5, it should detect ur Wireless Router once u finish point 4.

7. Phone will detect & show the name of ur Wireless Router, select it, it will ask for the Password now (WEP Key), enter the Wep Key and here u go.

8. Now ur Today screen Top "G" icon should change (antenna type icon) and show ur decice as connected in few seconds, u can switch it off by clicking that icon and click "Turn OFF WiFi" on the popup, you can switch it back on by: Start->Program->Wireless Manager->WiFi icon.

This explaination is only for WiFi enabled devices.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
I hate to rain on your parade, but you're referencing a nearly two year old post that was made at a time when HTC wasn't unlocking devices or providing source code for them. Tens of thousands did write letters and signed several online petitions, the most famous of which was at change.org. HTC eventually did bow to pressure and provided the means to unlock boot-loaders and released the source code. It's why we and other HTC owners can run different kernels and ROMs now, without jumping through hoops trying crazy hacks and exploits to do so.

The issues are now with the component manufacturers like Texas Instruments and Qualcomm who have yet to release up to date open sourced drivers for newer kernels. Heck, it took petitions and a letter writing campaign just to get them to release the stale sources we have now that were already nearly two years old. Don't hold your breath that they'll be inclined to release any newer ones for a device as old as ours is.

Sorry to give you the bad news but you're jumping in with this pretty late in the game. Our device wasn't a big seller, and was eclipsed by lighter more powerful units within 3 months of its release. All but a handful of devs left for greener pastures long ago. What we have left is a small group of dedicated diehards who are doing the best they can with what they have to work with. Just be thankful that we have them, and that any work is still being done here.

Look at this forum, on a busy day there's maybe 6-7 posts, but on average 2-3. Were lucky that the powers that run this place haven't relegated us to "legacy" status yet. Again, I don't want to down you out, but even if every active reader of this forum were to run out and immediately do as you suggest, we'd be lucky to get a hundred sent in. I'm sorry, but these are the facts. To believe anything else would be at best hopeless optimism, or at worst pure fantasy. Just my opinion.

Ciao
[HTC Amaze 4G] pbergonzi:
Oh, thanks Odysseus. The history lesson was edifying and poignant. Since the subject was stickied, it still seemed relevant.

Nevertheless, after ravike mentioned just recently about communicating with someone there, I thought communication at the very least wouldn't hurt, and who knows if someone somewhere might just change something. I think that energy spent in changing my mind would be better spent and more psychically rewarding directed toward HTC, even though presumably useless. You for example, are certainly articulate enough that your words might well work a lasting sympathetic response in a developer, and who knows where that will go, even if he doesn't directly reply in kind--he might for example, be kinder to the person who brings his coffee, just as an example.

Granted, 5 million members of xda are not about to contact HTC, however, as the little sparrow, with feet pointed skyward to prevent it from falling, said to the chuckling farmer who doubted him, "One does what one can."

Sorry to Burst Your Bubble

+1

[MENTION=5310043]pbergonzi[/MENTION] I do appreciate that you are trying to help, but the Amaze is LONG dead. If you decide to visit HTC's official website, the Amaze has vanished. They are pretending it never existed. The only things left are old drivers and antiquated software support from HTC (doesn't apply to us anymore). From what I saw, they only released source because they would have been breaking the GPL, thus decreasing their reputation as a smartphone manufacturer.

Also, it's not that HTC doesn't want to support us, it's that they can't. Texas Instruments doesn't support our chipset, and never will because this phone didn't sell. HTC has absolutely no obligation to release source code for less than a dozen hobbyist developers. They have better things to do, like develop for the HTC One. Why would they care about us. That's the ugly unwritten truth about companies.

If they do decide to spontaneously resume support, I will buy 3 goats, paint numbers "1", "2", and "4" on them and release the goats while in school and let them run wild! ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
Listen, I hope my comments haven't dampened your enthusiasm. I truly love this device. It's the perfect size for my needs, takes great photos, and connects to the net much faster than the HD2 it replaced. The hardware still holds its own 3 years after release. It was the top of the line when it came out and the build quality that one would expect from a high-end product is evident wherever you look on the device.

The only problem with it is software, in particular an outdated OS. The very software that allows lesser devices to perform better than this, is what's holding it back. Please don't be discouraged, instead learn what you can so that you too can contribute to our small, but loyal community. Together, each in his own way, we can continue to keep the amaze alive.

Hi everyone, I've yet to successfully load a custom ROM on my ville but I have got s-off and supercid. I'm currently on relocked bootloader running the total stock android 4.1. I'd just like to check through the steps I need to take to try a new 4.4.2 ROM. I was thinking of trying twistedkat.

1. Unlock bootloader (I already have the unlock file from htcdev)

2. Load custom recovery (I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 ready to go)

3. Flash SuperSU

4. Flash Rom file (do I need to unzip or flash the zip file in the recovery?)

5. Flash 4.4 Gapps

Any other steps I've missed? I'm on hboot 2.15, kernel 3.14 from the stock updater.

Thanks very much :)
[HTC One S] ka_55:
1- if you didn't unlock your bootloader, you have to

2- i don't know which twrp you have but you shuld use the one from twistedkat thread (it's different from official one)

3- it's unrelated with custom rom flashing

4- DON'T unzip the rom, just flash the zip from recovery

5- you have to flash g-apps if want to use google's apps (gmail, playstore, etc.)

you don't need anything else AFAIK

have fun:)
[HTC One S] ka_55:
By the way i recommend you to change your cid back to original, because supercid has no advantage over original cid. But one day you may want to turn back to stock and if you forget that your device has supercid it will brick the device
[HTC One S] :
Do not forget to flash boot.img in fastboot! To do it, you need to extract boot.img from ROM zip file to same directory with fastboot on your computer and and reboot your device to fastboot mode. Then run this in terminal/cmd: fastboot flash boot boot.img . If you don't do this, your device won't boot to OS. Flashing SuperSU with a custom ROM is unnecessary since root usually is included in custom ROM.

EDIT: You don't need to flash boot.img, because you have S-OFF. Didn't notice it first.
[HTC One S] fatboyslimerr:
Oh no! I've already ran a RUU with supercid to get back to total stock and that didn't cause any problems. Problem is I don't actually know what the original cid was!
[HTC One S] ka_55:
I checked again, ruu doesn't seem cause a brick but ota updates may cause such thing. So i think you shouldn't install ota updates till you remember your original cid
[HTC One S] fatboyslimerr:
Thanks for the replies guys. One last question. If I load Twistedkat, which is based on CM11, I'll lose Sense?

Can I have sense as well? Is there a flashable sense zip file or something?
