[Asus Transformer TF700] Okum4:
Hi all,

I've been searching for a browser to use based on a few criteria. Obviously, speed is important. Also, I've realized that some browsers don't load gifs correctly, which is important since I browse reddit a lot. Battery drain was something important as well as security and privacy, ability to use bookmarks, and customizability. Flash isn't that important to me, but I didn't notice a difference in using a browser with or without flash. I'm using Zombie-pop and here are the browsers I've checked out.

Chrome. Well everyone says it's slow, but I've found it's okay if you don't tax it and load one page at a time. However, it has crashed multiple times and was fed up which led me to make this post. It doesn't load gifs correctly.

Opera - gif - no. Haven't used it too much, but was unimpressed.

CM - gif - no. Loved the fact it was so light but it felt really powerful and fast. Saved on battery a lot. I also loved that you could use dark mode which would of course save battery. You can also change the user-agent string as well if I remember correctly, which included iPad, iPhone, Android, desktop. IPad actually felt the best while browsing reddit and loading gifs become possible by pressing "play". Home content is cool, but not being able to put your bookmarks there left it to be desired, instead of selecting bookmarks.

Firefox - gif - yes. What I'm currently using. Fast. Can't port my bookmarks directly from chrome, but I'm going to try to export them on my desktop then import them to Firefox. Then I should be able to sync. Can use add-ons, but haven't tested it out yet to see if there is any slowdown.

Maxthon - gif - no. Would eat up a ton of battery, but blazing fast.

Dolphin - gif - yes. Heard it had privacy issues, does anyone know the details? Probably the most customizable. Fast. I also believe you can customize the UA-strings.

Stock Android - gif - yes. Selectable UA-strings. Android, desktop, iPhone, iPad, froyo-N1, honeycomb-xoom. Would take a couple of seconds too long to load, but would always eventually and would be fast overall. Pages looked great. Fairly customizable but since it's not being updated anymore security is a concern. Bookmarks would be available if signed into a Google account. Not sure about others.

Some of the info may be incorrect, but if anyone wants to chime in with their experience with any of the browsers mentioned or not mentioned it would be greatly appreciated. :)

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
This is a request thread for developers to port non-Android OSes to Android One devices.

Hello there users and devs of Android One!

Here in this thread, I will put forward the rationale for developers to port mobile operating systems that don't have a robot as a logo to our devices.

Android One is well supported by Google and (somewhat shockingly) MediaTek. Source code can be found on Google's official repositories and as a result, the custom ROM development scene is very much alive. The only thing lacking are the ports of other platforms. We have the install base to test ports (I think), we have CM support (this helps with porting some systems such as FirefoxOS and Ubuntu Touch) and we surely have devs who can do it (you know who you are and I hope that you're reading this).

As for users, please comment down below for what operating systems y'all would like to see on your phones so that we can grab the attention of those heroes behind the screen! Developers can reply to a request directly or PM me if you want to talk. It would be nice if you coders would respond.

P.S. Thanks for all the ROMs and the entire community is grateful for the works you all did for Android One users around the globe! :D:good:
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Minions_Army:
buy a nexus device and u will have that OS
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
Android One devices are like cheap nexus devices

The reason many buy Android One phones is to get the vanilla experience for cheap. Some buy it because it's a Google device, therefore, easy to tinker with. Also Nexus devices may not be found easily at retail shops in some countries. That's why I bought Android One. What this thread is hoping to achieve is to (at least) get discussion started on other OSes in our phones. It's very likely that there are people here who bought Android One because of the Nexus-like experience being more accessible.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] hp5942:
Will really appreciate the work to port other OS to android One... Hope someone makes that happen
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Rakibboss:
Yes.Can't wait to see another os

FirefoxOS has already been ported to sprout, by Shahidujjaman Khan Anik. He said that he'll make a thread soon.

https://facebook.com/story.php?stor...129499414:2:0:1451635199:-7540004895718870160
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
Great!

That's really nice! I wanted to try my hand at porting it myself, but I ran into an issue during the build process. Glad to hear that someone was successful in doing so! :)

Hopefully this is only the beginning of OS diversity on Android One.

P.S. Best of luck to the developer and I'll start testing on my device soon.

P.P.S. I'm considering making a thread for him, is that allowed and could I hand over management and/or ownership to the dev after creation? :confused:
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] hp5942:
Happy to see Firefox OS on android One. Hope to see more of them too

Btw is hike available on firefox OS by any means?

News.....

I search for ubuntu touch for sprout and found that same dev that compiled firefox os has compiled a version of Ubuntu Touch!

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=44454

I can't wait to test it.

If someone has test one of this, please give us some feedback

ubuntu touch system.img does not installing.... so I cannot boot it

firefox os boot up and works fine for now,

-camera does not work indeed...

-sometimes random crashes

for me it is not a daily driver for now....
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] hp5942:
Installed Firefox OS

Bugs

1. Sim 2 does not work

2. Cannot connect to mobile data

3. Camera does not work

As [MENTION=3234234]lzimbrea[/MENTION] said, not recommended as daily driver
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] lzimbrea:
Anyway users have to give it a try! Is first different os for sprout.

Maybe an update will fix some bugs and make it a daily driver

Personally I wait for ubuntu touch build.... Firefox os is a bit immature for now.

Congratulations to dev for his efforts!

What about windows ?Did anybody port it?
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
Cannot compute

Windows mainly runs on the x86 architecture, while most Android devices like ours run on the ARM architecture. Mainstream Windows will not run and Windows 10 Mobile is closed-source; what this means is that the code is inaccessible for anyone wanting to port it. Unless Satya Nadella sees fit to open up Windows source code, this won't happen.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
Bugs from first Firefox OS build

I've flashed Firefox OS and identified a number of other issues:

No video playback (continued attempts will disable WiFi and SIM Card functionality, for some reason)

Data Usage app crashes

System wallpaper picker crashes upon image selection

Enabling Full DevTools in Developer section will soft brick your device

No internal storage detection (on Sprout8)

Certain testing apps crashing

First boot tutorial soft reboots system (temporary solution: skip it)

No microphone

No camera

Doesn't detect secondary SIM card (Firefox OS has support for dual SIM, likely just needs to be patched in for Android One)

No su binary (temporary solution: use the recovery to install it)

/system partition is read-only by default (not really a problem but an annoyance)

I'll go look for more bugs...
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Rakibboss:
And that's what making Windows phone unpopular
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
More Firefox OS port bugs

Found two bugs from the Firefox OS port:

Accessing YouTube or any website with video content via Browser will cause a soft reboot

Heavy websites or HTML5-heavy websites will cause soft reboots when used in Browser

Hopefully these issues and the other ones reported will be resolved in a future release.

How to flash this img through TWRP terminal? I have Roar A50
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
I wouldn't recommend that. I tried to do that and it soft bricked my device. Stick to fastboot, it's safer.
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] Rakibboss:
OK.then how to do it by fastboot?(I am new to this)
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
How to flash images

After you have downloaded system.img, userdata.img, and boot.img, open Command Prompt or Terminal and navigate to where you stored the files.

Make sure that there is only one Android device connected.

Afterwards, enter these commands:

fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img

After doing so enter this command to reboot phone:

fastboot reboot

Should Firefox OS still be ported?

With the (as of time of writing) recent refocusing of Firefox OS away from smartphones, should it still be ported to Android One? And what other systems could take its place in the porting efforts?

P.S. To those who selected "Other", what are those other operating systems that weren't mentioned in the poll? Might be interesting to know.

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
Yeah, it would be nice. There was a build (see first page), unfortunately testers reported that flashing it will seemingly soft brick the phones. I wonder what happened to the developer?

He was also porting Firefox OS and mentioned on a Facebook that a thread would be built.

Sorry but that is not a non-Android operating system. It is an iOS-themed Android custom ROM, therefore it doesn't belong in this thread.

FXOS Port Soft-bricking Warning

I tried the new build of Firefox OS and it only leads to a black screen. It's a HUGE regression from the first build where it booted to a usable environment. :crying: I'll attempt a non-segmented download of the files (segmented downloading may have corrupted the files) and see what will happen.

Until then, I advise non-advanced users (the ones who don't know how to recover from soft bricks) to stay away while further testing is underway. :(

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] hp5942:
Any news about new Os?
[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] win8linux:
Nope

Unfortunately, no.

I have looked into porting Ubuntu Touch myself (at least a rough port), but I can't seem to find certain files required for it. This is probably because of my inexperience with developing ROMs (I only made a clean, private build of CM13, which I deleted due to disk space issues). I also can't seem to find people who could help me with this. I've even asked on UBports and the FreeNode Ubuntu IRC channels and still no replies yet.

LuneOS, a continuation of the original WebOS code (does not include LG's additions), was another consideration since their porting guide looks quite simple:

LuneOS Porting Guide

At least it's simple compared to the Sailfish OS 64-page Hardware Adaptation Development Kit (HADK):

Sailfish OS Hardware Adaptation Development Kit Documentation

and Tizen's MASSIVE porting guide:

Tizen Porting Guide

At the moment, Ubuntu Touch and LuneOS seem to be the easiest options for porting a new OS to Android One.

What exactly do you mean? How hard it is to start developing apps for the WM platform?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
How hard is it to play soccer or basketball?

well who wants to learn?

does the one who wants to lern to play soccer have legs?

does the one who wants to lern to play basketball have arms?

the question is not how hard it is to learn how to program for WM devices but how much effort you want to put in learning to make these programs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PhillyKing:
Yeah good point. I would'nt mind trying to create an application like Ringo or Mring. I guess I wanted to know how involved the process is considering I don't have any programming knowledge.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gullum:
my advice is this

choose what platform you want to use NET .. c++ or something else and then start reading buy a book and read... google... and read.... search forums .... and read..... find example code from the net .... studdy them .... read some more.... this is how I learned to program for windows... I havn't made any apps for WM yet and I will maybe do that in the future but for now I'm happy with just coocking roms
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thundershadow14:
I totally agree!! Once you're dedicated, and have the will, it'll all fall into place. I recommend using a high level language, like VB or C# to start though...:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dckiwi:
Absolutely give it a crack, try not to be discouraged though when you realize just how intricate languages are, even the oop for that matter.

Not to rain on your parade, I've just finished a 4yr degree in software engineering and feel like I still have "lots to learn".

Good luck.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
Its all a matter of identifying problems. You must identify your overall goal and break it down into stages. Each problem can be divided further and still further until you need to accomplish a problem in code. If you can identify each individual problem you will succeed. Thats because the internet is full of code addressing individual problems that will hep you.

a good piece of advice is to not skip anything. If you find something that you do not understand, work on that one thing until you do. It may seem boring or pointless but it will build knowledge of the basics. You can only get fancy stuff to work after you understand whats going on.

c++ is the only way to go. There are some compelling reasons to utilize c# but you will always need to understand c++ because of the amount of times you will need to import native api's. Even the basics are not covered by c#, the last time I looked it didn't even have the ability to wait on multiple events without importing waitformultipleobjects.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rudegar:
luckly the syntax of c# and c/c++ is pretty close

which is why i would never advice people to use vb.net

[General Questions and Answers] onefish:
Just wondering if anybody out there might know of a camera app (or some other way to achieve this) that will display the image file name automatically for a period of time after taking a photo. I am using my android phone camera to record literally thousands of images of maintenance items and I have to write down the image file name on the inspection form each time. This is so that a link to the file can be built back up in excel and the correct image can be imported into the correct record back in the office. I can see the image name easily enough by selecting the image view soft button after taking a picture and then tapping the picture and the file name is displayed for a couple seconds at the top. The display usually disappears before I get the whole thing written down so have to hit it a couple times. This is just a pain and a time limiting factor when I have to do thousands. I'm trying to find a camera app (or other means) that will remove a step or two from the process. Any ideas?

The other thing that would help is being able to change the file naming protocol of captured images to sequential instead of the (often preferred) date/timestamp. I know this seems like a step backwards and most people try to change the protocol the other way but for my purpose, knowing I just have to add 1 to the previous file name is sooooooooo much quicker.
