[G1 Android Development] Sir Savant:
I can definitely change the date formatting, and since for now it isn't searchable, that's not going to be a big deal to change. I think like 3 lines or something... :)

As for a wiki, that's a tough decision. I'm going the route of allowing devs to contact me for their username/password. It's one extra thing for them to update, which is why I can update it (or give others access to update those roms). I am looking to have user contributions in some way in the future, though.

I'm also looking at integrating other web applications that are android-centric if they have APIs available (or not, I can screen-scrape :P). Again, lots planned once I have time this weekend.

Please follow the application's twitter at http://twitter.com/androidrevision . I promise to tweet every time I add a feature/update a ROM. And keep the requests coming!
[G1 Android Development] maxisma:
Looks very good! But make more categorys ;-)
[G1 Android Development] darkflare:
Looks great, it really looks like this site has potencial!

Im not sure if its possible with cakephp, but can you do something like this:

http://www.forummatrix.org/compare/bbPress+Beehive-Forum+bttlxeForum

What im talking about is the ability to flag things, and only see those settings. This way I or any other user can see what we're interested in. For instance i'd like to compare all roms with the htc dialier.

Also could you add a section for screenshots? (maybe externally hosted on imgshack to reduce bandwidth.)

Other than that for 6 hours youve done a superb job! And good work on releasing it so soon.

[G1 Android Development] innerspace:
Nice work!

Well played ;)

Bookmarked, will propagate to the masses.:cool:
[G1 Android Development] Sir Savant:
What do you mean, more categories? I'm open to any and all suggestions. I'll add a few more roms today as well as update those that are on.

I'm looking into this, I'm not sure exactly how to develop such a comparator, although it's been one of the things I have on my internal to-do list for other applications. I'll keep it in mind :)

I don't mind the bandwidth, as I can easily dump it on my DreamHost account and not worry at all (the app runs on Slicehost, so it should be fairly fast). I may look into ImageShack for image uploads, however, as it would be interesting to create such a behavior in CakePHP...

**** Note: I may or may not have inadvertently pissed off SimonNWalker by copying a few records from his database. In an effort to not continue doing so, I will be manually testing each and every rom (AND RELEASE!) before updating my entry. I'll also be phasing out some fields in the database that I'm not quite sure how to handle/what they are for, so you may still find need of SimonNWalker's exhaustive database. I'm also not in the market to just grab every feature he has on his site, just ones I believe are relevant to what I am doing. However, if I get a feature request and it's simple enough, I'll complete it.

May I reiterate, I'm not here to steal content. If there is any content that anyone feels should not be posted (such as said developer's post notes), then feel free to contact me and I while do my best to scrub what is appropriate.

Keep the comments coming, and I'll update my todo list above with new features! Follow the twitter account for the latest information as well.

Android ROM feature comparison grid

Anyone heard anything about this getting updated or heard of something similar?

This seems like a side-by-side comparison of the different ROM features would be incredibly useful. (Like that forummatrix.org grid)

Maybe it could become a feature on XDA-Developers?
[G1 Android Development] t0mmy:
My one suggestion would be to add a known bugs category

That would be so useful because most of the time I have to pour through hundreds of forum posts to see if its worth flashing a rom!

I'd like to edit or create a sliding panel in Ookba's latest EVO ROM release for IE. I have an idea of how to do it (or at least try) but would appreciate it if someone could post the action URL needed for IE and the icon/picture number. With those I think I can get into trouble on my own. I did a semi-serious search but didn't turn up anything that helped me out. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
You guys are not following the rules!

This is a 3VO Rom question, and it should be posted in the proper thread , not make a new one.

All you guys are doing is making more clutter , more amount of results , when someone does a search. Please keep questions in the proper thread.

Ive tried many roms cooked by you guys and cannot seem to find what i want. simply put i want to know if there has or is a plan to develop a rom more designed for fingers and not styluses? i like having the option of an onscreen keyboard but my fingers disagree with it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] msd24200:
instead of starting a new thread for this why not just pm each chef and ask :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] youngalumni:
i was looking for insight from other users as well
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] stylez:
Yep :D

Finger friendly ROM? Your more likely to find Finger Freindly GUI's, take a look around @ what you can use GUI or even Today Plugins depending on what sort of setup you want?

M2D is Finger Freindly for me...

Re: Keyboards plenty of Finger Freindly Keyboards, i use TouchPal not amazing with fingers but makes stylus use more bearable and has loadz of options.....

A good look in Dev section and Google is your friend :D "will help loadz"

;) next month stylez ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] oscarbum:
Actually, this brings up a question I've pondered and have somewhat answered which is "how 'finger-friendly' can a kaiser even be?" The touchscreen itself is designed for the stylus, unlike the iPhone which works best when touched by the pad of a finger and won't even acknowledge when I've inadvertantly used my stylus.

Basically, the kaiser is designed to work with the pinpoint touch of the stylus and can't truly be "finger friendly", right?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] engineer14:
i would have to disagree oscar, if you want to make the kaiser more touch friendly, all you simply have to do is make larger icons, most of the new roms use the larger icons and are real touch friendly(ive gone without using my stylus for almost a week now).

the only thing which can really make kaiser not touch friendly is the size of the screen and number of pixels(you need more precision bcuz of this). Because the screen is so small, you cant really fit a lot on there, so to make it more touch friendly you can either make the icons larger and change the name of the phone from HTC TILT to HTC SCROLL(get it, lol, rofl, roflcopter, lmao, roflmao,)

or

i cant remember what i was gonna type, i will add something there when i remember.

man HTC SCROLL............lol, still laughing
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] poppinpengawen:
the reality is the screen on the kaiser isn't as responsive as other more advanced phones out there, so even you make the icons bigger, there's still a chance that the device won't register the press exactly where you want it to. I've tried all the SIP's out there and I must say, the kaiser just isn't meant for typing onscreen without a stylus. it took me 2 and sometimes 3 times as long to type a text message with the SIP than with the hardware keyboard.

yes, you can make the kaiser 'finger-friendly' by making the icons bigger and adding the large start menus and all that, but the fact of the matter is, the phone was designed during the time when microsoft didn't understand that people didn't like using styli
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Cerberus_tm:
"... or

i cant remember what i was gonna type, i will add something there when i remember."

Now THAT made me laugh even more than the HTC SCROLL (which was already fun). I agree with your general point, though.

You may be right there; especially typing is not very easy on the soft keyboard. However, I have never tried it on an #-Phone (I'm sorry, I was taught not to use swear words): I suspect that even the #-Phone's soft keyboard is much worse than a hardware keyboard.

Apart from typing text, my experiences with using the Kaiser without stylus are quite good. It greatly depends on what programs you use. Many, including the stock ones, have unresponsive buttons, like the phone dialer. However, I use Resco Contact Manager, which has a dialer without any delays, wonderful. Some SIPs have no delays either.

Oh, and I always set the screen to more responsive in the registry, that makes a huge difference.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vma:
Hi,

I won an auction for a T-Mobile Ameo and started to do my homework, while the phone doesn't arrive.

I already own a BlueAngel and two Universal, so it should not be that new to me. However, I do have a few questions:

SPL: as I understand it, this is like a second stage boot loader. There is the V1.2 by Oli, which is like patched to allow any firmware to be installed, as oposed to the original one, which only allows to flash signed firmware matching the country ID. Is this more or less correct?

SPL 3.5: there is a new second stage boot loader, which is required for WM6.1 like the AP4.0. Correct?

Downgrade back to SPL 1.2: this is now possible again?

Last question: there seems to be official 6.1 firmware versions from T-Mobile.

Can I just upgrade the WM5 untouched Ameo to the official WM6.1?

What if I have the german WM5 and want to use T-Mobile's WWE 6.1 instead of the german one?

Is there any stupid combination of firmware and SPL that will lead to a brick or a dead end?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

vma
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] HDJ80:
I am newbie with X7500

I think is correct.

SPL 3.5 is for ROMs adapted from X7510 (but not for X7510)

Yes.

Yes.

You must make superCID in your X7500 (>>>SPL1.2)

I think ROM for SPL3.5 in SPL1.x and for SPL1.x in SPL 3.5
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vma:
Thanks for the resonse.

So here is the sum up for all Newbies like myself:

****************************************************

The Hitchiker's Guide to understanding SPL on Athena

****************************************************

1) SPL = second stage bootloader

2) Athena 7500 is originally shipped with SPL 1.2

3) Athena 7510 is originally shipped with SPL 3.5

4) for different firmware to be loaded, one need a hacked SPL, that allows flashing unsigned firmware

5) There is a modified SPL 3.5 for the Athena 7500 that allows WM6.x firmware, ported from the Athena 7510 to run on the 7500

6) SPL 1.2 and 3.5 are incompatible, regarding firmware, due to the different amount of memory reserved for the ROM. A SPL 1.2 firmware won't run on SPL 3.5 and the other way around, neither. Trying to do so, will make the black screen or reset loop happen.

7) to get SPL 1.2 Olipro (the hacked one), you need to do the UNLOCKER procedure (search sticky)

8) to get SPL 3.5 Olipro, you need to install AP 4.0 (it's a WM6.1 firmware, that installs the SPL 3.5 Olipro as well)

9) to be able to install SPL 1.2 compatible firmware again, you need to follow the DOWNGRADER procedure (search sticky)

10) if you want to have, for warranty issues, the original SPL 1.2 back, you need to install an official dump. I am not 100% sure about this one...

****************************************************

I hope my statements are correct. If not, please let me know, so this post can act as a beginners first read. Currently I have to confess, that it is quite confusing to understand these 10 points... And I am already familiar with modding the BA, Universal, HP 514, VDA GPS, etc.

Thanks,

vma

PS: Yes, I ask silly questions, but still I try to bring something back... ;)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] HDJ80:
No, X7500 original is SPL 1.1
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] vma:
Is there a way to go back from i.e. SPL 1.2olipro to official SPL?

Thanks,

vma

there seems to be a large market right now in devices that are blacklisted, so to avoid buying a lemon, get the buyer to send you a CheckMEND report - all reports contain a code for online verification.

5. Put a check mark on Through the Internet. Click on Next.

6. Select the protocols you want to enable for this connection. Click on Allow access.

Tip: Default selections (Recommended): Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and QoS Packet Scheduler. You should have at least TCP/IPv4 selected to successfully accept connections. Highlight the protocols for their descriptions.

A) To allow the client access your LAN resources, highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties. Put a check mark on Allow all callers to access my local area network. Here you can have the IP assigned automatically, assign IPs following your LAN segment format or let the client assign its own IP address.

7. Take note of the Computer name as this will be used by the client to connect to this computer. Click on Close.

8. You will now have the Incoming Connections icon in Network Connections. Your computer is now ready to accept incoming VPN connections.

Important: Configure your firewall to allow access to TCP port 1723 to allow incoming Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) connection for VPN.

Router Configuration: Enable PPTP and Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) on the Router. Depending on the type of router, you need to either enable PPTP or create a port forward to port 1723. If you’re router has an additional setting for PPTP or VPN, make sure it’s enabled. It’s usually called a “pass-through” setting (i.e. PPTP pass-through or VPN pass-through)

[General Topics] NightLord:
I dont see why creating a VPN connection between the client and the host is necessarry at all. You can simply connect to the host PC via an RDP client if both machines are connected to the internet (or are on the same LAN), incoming remote connections are enabled on the host, and the host accepts connections on port 3389 (i.e. not blocked by the router).
[General Topics] nir36:
this is meant to be more a business type of connection, considering a lot of companies require connecting to the domain before being able to use RDP.
[General Topics] TalynOne:
The VPN setup is superfluous, all that's needed is to make sure remote desktop is enabled and port 3389 is punched through on the router and system firewall.

No real business, especially one with a domain, is going to run a VPN server off a client operating system such as Windows 7. If a VPN server exists it's off a dedicated hardware device or server operating system. Client OSes limit themselves to 10 unique connections, hardly suitable for any sizable business.

I personally run an OpenVPN server on a Server 2008 computer. OpenVPN is a very robust and powerful VPN that can work over port 443 SSL which makes it ideal for connection from locations that may have outgoing ports blocked, since as far as the firewall is concerned the VPN connection is just regular HTTPS traffic. And yes, there's a free OpenVPN client for Windows Mobile that works just fine.
