Last time I checked, Piracy was sailing the seven seas, raping, pillaging and stealing loot. Don't forget the treasure and going y'arrrrr a lot too.

I don't think you can equate that with installing new versions of Pocket PC. No, what this can be referred to as is Copyright Evasion. i.e. the original producer has not licensed rights for us to use their latest version and thus that's what it is.

Theft is where you remove an item from someone, taking away what they have a right to claim. By using Windows Mobile 6.0, you are not depriving them of anything as it's not sold as an upgrade and I understand it will never be. In fact, I bought my phone explicitly because it could be upgraded, so I actually gave them something for this.

Now, Copyright is a serious law and one that should be followed. However, I think this shows a lack of touch and regard for their end users. By suing a group of people dedicated to the promotion, improvement and continuation of your products (i.e. your advanced user base) is incredibly counter productive.

To eliminate this sort of "issue", either open up the ROMs and Kernels to allow official 3rd party repackaging or maintain an operator sanctioned upgrade path increasing the longevity of the phone.

Just my 2c.

I see "Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 upgrade" then a bunch of words I don't understand. :p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] scorpio16v:
It's quite easy to understand,because it's in german. :)

Release in about 2-3 weeks. In german , of course.

Btw the first officialy WM6 ROM in german is for the XDA Orbit (HTC Artemis). It's downloadable from O2 germany site.:eek:

HTC made me do it!!!

This entire thread made for very interesting reading... especially on company time... BUT my point is actually this... I am with the "New AT&T" and I was told that I could not use my phone on their network, as a matter of fact the exact words were, "Do not buy an unlocked phone, or you will have nothing but problems... We will not support your device and cannot guarantee that you will receive service..."

I bought the phone anyway off of eBay for several reasons... Once it was in my hands and on the network, I called HTC for support... They couldn't help resolve my issues, so what was their next professional support tactic... They steered me to the wiki here at XDA -Devs... So, as for piracy, which was the actual topic, HTC made me do it, if they sent me here and they provide the basis for the Roms, then I will happily use them...

Thanks HTC...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] wildbilll:
OK. I am going to make this make sense to those who think it's piracy to put WM6 on a Hermes.

MS freely puts the WM6 rom up on their website and it has no restrictions on whocan download it. They tell you that it is there as part of the software development kit. Every language version known to man is there for the taking for the PDA (professional) and the Smartphone (standard).

They put it there to encourage development of software that works on these devices. They do not tell you that you can't use it on certain devices. They want you to develop software for WM6, and they want it to work right before it is sold so that WM6 does not get a bad rep.

So we all are collaborating and testing WM6 for the Hermes. We are finding bugs, we are finding fixes for those bugs, true?

We are not selling WM6, true?

So if you don't feel comfortable loading WM6 on your Hermes, you don't want to participate in the development of WM6 or check compatability, then don't load it.

I will be closing down both this thread and my lolipop thread. Why? Well because someone else Here decided to start it and is getting more attention just because his was already updated. I even said that I was going as fast as I can because of how my computer is. And I can't fix that. So I will leave everything here in case I decide to reopen it. But this will be closed.

PA GApps for Android 5.0.x has its own NEW HOME

SEE HERE for Complete Details and Download Links​

WHAT WE OFFER

We consider these apps as important as our ROM. It is sad that the ROM scene deals with so many broken/outdated or buggy packages

All packages should work fine on any custom Android 4.4.x ROM

All 4.4.x GApps packages and addons are compatible with both ART and Dalvik runtimes

Frequently updated Google Apps: Updates are posted when we get the chance.

- Development focus has shifted to Lollipop GApps

All apps are untouched, we do not change or modify Googles' applications but deliver them as-is

Automatic Backup: It is not necessary to re-flash GApps or modules when you flash a ROM update. Most ROM's support this function.

All installers measure your device's system partition size and will notify you, BEFORE making any changes, if it finds any problems

We offer several variations from a Google Stock Package (based on what Google ships on Nexus devices) to smaller, more minimal packages

All packages can be customized to your individual preferences using our exclusive Advanced Features and Options

[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mmmanus:
Hello All,

My goal is to run a windows x86 executable on my Sony Z1. As far as I know I need a kernel with support for binfmt_misc_kernel module and 3G/1G vm split. Then it would be possible to run wine under qemu user mode or exagear on near native speed.

Since I'm a rookie (not even!) in kernel development or compiling I'd like to ask you if you know a way to help me? Anybody knows of any available rom compiled with those options? Or how would I find this out? As far as I can tell the CM11 does not run exagear because of the lacking binfmt_misc_kernel module...

Link to the exagear tool: http://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/

Or maybe you can tell if it can be done at all / is it 'doable'?

Thank you in advance and greetings from Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Mike.

Pls move to General or F&Q
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mmmanus:
Don't know how to do that - only an admin or moderator can I assume?
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mmmanus:
In general - I wonder if *anyone* got this exagear desktop tool running on their phone?!
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] Destroyedbeauty:
Maybe [MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION] can point a word or two out on this? Ask him - he is with Sony since a couple of months ago and a skilled guy when it comes to advanced Android / Linux hacking.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] BlAckXpeRia:
Sounds interesting.
[Xperia Z1 Android Development] mmmanus:
Ok cool I will PM [MENTION=359497]jerpelea[/MENTION]. A while ago I also asked [MENTION=2784807]DooMLoRD[/MENTION] about this, he answered that most kernels already have the 3G/1G vm split options. No word about the binfmt_misc_kernel module though.

I would love to try this out. But I would prefer a free apk for now and will be willing to pay for it if it meets my needs. Many of 3rd party browsers have a free version for users to test the product out.
[Android Apps and Games] poopsoncats:
The free apk will get more users to try it and decide if they want to buy the paid one
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Hi guys thank you for the suggestions, i have considered making a free and a paid version but there is really nothing i can do other than placing adds on the free version which i think would be a bad choice and will be ruining the purpose of the app. I understand there is a lot of free browsers out there, most from big companies, however i am nowhere near that level, that is why i have decided to leave just a paid version for a small amount for those that would like to support and provide a free .apk for those that are interested in communities like XDA.

Can you guys send me your emails so could send you the app. Again thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] happydad4130:
I would also love to try but also prefer a free app to test

i would like to test it.

What is the different between free an play apk?

[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Hi there is no diference, this is the paid that i am sending for free to XDA members. Please send your email and will send you to try.
[Android Apps and Games] Karamvir Singh:
Hey u can add base colour change and ad-block in paid version
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Thank you for your suggestion, I will consider it. I am still working on making the app better and keeping it minimal at the same time. Ad block seems a good idea. I will see how everything goes and if there is demand and I can find a way to justify having both a free and a paid version I will make it happen. Thank you again :)
[Android Apps and Games] killerzman:
I'm also interested to try this browser. :)

As a suggestion, if no one said this before, maybe pie controls would be a nice addition, like a downloadable plugin, so users can choose if they want to use up more memory?

And what about swiping on the url bar to navigate through pages. Like swiping from right to left would mean going forward and swiping left from right would mean going back.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Added Free .apk in first post! :)
[Android Apps and Games] a4apple:
I would like to try this app. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Chillz88:
Would love to try it too
[Android Apps and Games] switchgott:
Hi,

thanks for apk...

So..first try..

The app looks realy nice..the sidebar is a realy good idea..

But iam missing the browser settings?

Are there still there?

I use a lg g3 d855 which has only virtual buttons, no hardware one.

So i cant open the options if there are still there :)

Maybe you could add small tabs to change the browser pages..

Have a look at naked browser..

I think with the arrows its not easy to switch between the tabs..

Idea...could you inplement a sidebar on right side which are hold as a small picture the tab??

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Geo_Tech:
Very good browser thumbs up :good: :good: :good: .

But i think an speed dial is necessary for every browser :angel:

Hi, there are no browser settings. And i don't think there would be, i am trying to keep it truly minimal and functional as well no tabs to keep the performance as fast as possible. However im still working on the features. Thank you for your feedback it really is appreciated and glad you like it. There is more coming so keep an eye out :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Thank you sir! Glad you like it!
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Just a quick question to all that have downloaded, have any of you got any random FC/Crash while starting the app?
[Android Apps and Games] AkcezzInc:
Installing now Thanks Dev! ?
[Android Apps and Games] Geo_Tech:
I am using the app for 5 days now with no FC's (Blekota Note 4 Lite)-(Boeffla-Kernel 7.6)
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Updated market version with new features , check pictures in first post. Open to ideas for making the free market version, thanks everyone.
[Android Apps and Games] gunde2014:
How would you compare your browser with regularly updated browsers as far as security threats? Ex. Chrome, Opera
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
I would say its on par, the only thing being the JavaScript always enabled which is necessary for better comparability and content, some browsers allow to disable it but then most of the websites wont work. Not aware of any security threats or vulnerabilities. Also this browser will be regularly updated as well, even currently has been updated 3 times since release with more features and bug fixes. I would like this browser to become a strong choice and strong performer for users and will do my best to achieve this.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Free version now in market! Thanks to everyone for the support, would appreciate if you guys leave a good review! Check first post for both links!
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
I like it very much. Simple and really fast.

But there are no settings for personalization and no support for zoom. Sites just render as-is and I have to scroll horizontally to read.
[Android Apps and Games] ktouy:
Great work so far, congrats! Will use it and see it evolve. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Glad you like it, one of the main points is to be minimal, not to have too many things but have a perfect balance for functionality, there are more things coming soon including some personalization :). Im still working hard. As far as zoom what do you mean? It has pinch to zoom and i have it set to load with overview mode so nothing is loaded zoomed in? Can you elaborate so i can look into it?
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
Superb :)

I entered a website and it rendered with text not wrapped to viewport, so I had to scroll horizontally to read. When I tried to pinch to zoom, Minimal just didn't do it, so I commented the situation.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Hmm that is strange what was the website? and has it happened in other websites?
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
Can't reproduce it and I can't remember the site I entered, so please discard my previous post.

I found another problem. URI bar doesn't tell my keyboard (Multiling) not to apply autocorrection. And I can't copy address nor share the site.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
I'm think the auto correction has nothing to do with the Url bar and that has only to do with your keyboard, i just tried Multiling on my device and there is no auto correction so i am not sure whats going on there. As far as the contextual action mode for the url bar i am currently implementing my own because the stock one that is supposed to show wont work. So in the next update you will see a copy/paste/share when you hold the Url field. Currently In the paid version of the app you can get a context menu like that for links and images outside the Url but not in it as well. So will be fixing that too. Thank you for the feedback it is much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
One of Multiling's options lets you ignore “no autocorrect” flag in fields and always suggest something. I think that's happening with MB. Here's are two caps, one from Minimal, the other from Firefox.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Ok i see what you mean. Ill see what i can do. Thanks man.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Update: Both the Paid and the Free App have been updated please check first post screenshots and links :)

I have found and fixed the issue with the some sites loading zoomed in with no zoom control and also added copy/paste and share option for the address bar in both versions. Check for update :)
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
Thanks!

Zoom works ok on desktop sites. I couldn't find the option to switch from mobile to desktop and back but I suppose that function exists only in the paid version.

URI bar still summons autocorrection on both SwiftKey and Multiling.

I could use the copy/cut/paste/share functions but when showing them the URI bar simply disappears. Here's a screenshot:

I really like the "Minimal" approach of this browser.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Yes still trying to see why you get the autocorrection on those keyboards i tried both and both dont do any autocorrections on my device so still trying to figure it out. The url bar gets replaced by the contextual action bar because all the options do are just copy paste and share the link or paste already copied link or text, looks cleaner this way i think, but im still experimenting so you might see it different in a future update. Keep in mind that im really new to this and still learning how to do things :) Trying hard tho.

Edit: Here is a screenshot of Minimal Browser Free with Multiling With Ignore Auto correct and all other suggestions enabled.
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
I know, and you are going very well (y)

I had a fc trying to copy an URI today from here: https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/regarding-camera2-api.277331/

I sent the report using Google's service.

And look at that link. The first post has an image that Minimal Browser doesn't show but another browser do (Firefox).
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Thank you for the input. I got the crash report and will investigate, it shows a null pointer exeption but i cant recreate it yet. Also i see what your saying about the image not showing and will be fixing that with next update! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Update: Both versions updated - fixed issue with some images not loading (the above link should now be working fine), also added long click on links and images to free version. Not sure about the auto correction yet but please try to see if its working as it should now.
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
Image loads ::good::

Autocorrection issue still present (Multiling and SwiftKey).

Is there an option to save an image?
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
There will be very soon :)
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
Sometimes when I try to view a website and select Minimal to show it, the app wouldn't start (or starts and closes quickly, I don't know). This happened a few times.

This is catlog when it happened today. Maybe it helps.

[Mnldr @ G3 D855 + CM12.1]
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Yes I had that happened to me too couple times so I'm trying to figure it out its strange because its fine most of the time and than out of nowhere it shows and closes. So will be working that out. Have you noticed any other fc? It fc on me once bringing it back from recent apps but can't recreate it again to catch the exception. Let me know if something like that happens. Thank you for your help it is strongly appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Meneldur:
Will do. It's nice to help you, pal. :)

No fcs so far, just a couple of rendering issues I'll post later. Does Minimal Browser use webkit as rendering engine?
[Android Apps and Games] flywithoutacape:
Looks great! Think I might have to switch from Dolphin to this :)
[Android Apps and Games] m0d:
Interesting app.

It would be great to have apk available as attachment in OP
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Yes it uses webview wich uses webkit. Has pros and cons, but for what im trying to acheive i think its best.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Im glad you like it, there are still few bugs that keep popping up and apparently a fc from time to time, but i am working hard to resolve the issues with the help of fellow xda members. Its definitely not a full blown browser like Dolphin and you might miss some features like bookmarks and tabs which Minimal doesnt aim to have, but overall im trying to achieve a speedy browser with minimal interface, that wont bother you with passwords, popups etc just something that you get in do your searching get out and leave nothing behind.

There used to be an apk. but when i released it in the store i removed it but maybe i can post it again. :)

Thank you guys.
[Android Apps and Games] Nankov:
Updated versions uploading to market:

Fixed the "Open with Minimal Browser" not always starting.

Auto Correction should be fixed.

Added save image option when you long click on images.

Fixed issue with app name not showing in drawer and in recent apps on some devices.

Please check when you get update and let me know how its working for you :)
