[G1 Android Development] jjcd51590:
All i want in this thread is only if you are interested in developing/themeing/ect. for our Open Android Alliance Project. Post requiring info needed.

Open-Android-Alliance Create a fully open source Android OS

The new site is officially up: Home of Open Android Alliance register now everyone

As you all are probably aware Cyanogen has been sent a Cease and Desist order.

The purpose here comes from an idea of Sr. member Doooshty where we should

use this opportunity to get everyone come together and create alternatives to Google'

apps we are calling on anyone with experience who is up to the challenge to set this

straight and out "Android" Google.

People we are rebuilding android as we see fit if you want to Frankenstein it to hell open another

thread... OPEN SOURCE ALL THE WAY if i can not get the source one way or another it is not being used

This however is not about Getting back at google or who was in the wrong in the C&D

This is solely a project about distributing a *Flavor* of android that is fully customizeable

and does not rely on google or other copyrights...

As of now the goal is a Rom (No google at all) that we can make calls from and text

I would like all apps to be developed in house so it is easy to get in contact with the developer if we

want to make any changes or get intouch with the origional developer to make sure they approve.

All apps to be open source not just free and require writtin permission from origional developer giving permission to edit (mainly visually)

THIS IS ALL EXPERIMENTAL AT THIS TIME

We are going to need several things from devs such as:

1. New app store

slideme.org

anddevstore (cant find exact link)

various other new open source projects in process of being developed

Obsidiandesire is looking into the android store

2. New email system

Dev needed

3. New Navigation

Dev needed

4. New IM client

Dev needed

5. YouTube

Dev needed

Talk of porting a .flv player but unclear about content copyright

6. Setup Wizard

(App developers is it possible to create a simple app that is basicly

a drop down with all major carriers APN settings that will

automaticly set at first boot?)

irrenhaus discovered it is a only database change. Any app developers

want to look into this with him?

7. Sync Alternative

Dev needed

8. Browser

(steel, default, opera)

Dev needed

I would like to get permission before using them if possible.

9. Making apps talk to each other.

Dev needed

10. Space for development files.

Anyone?

we Should open one of them google project pages :P jk

11. We need a centeral "stock" theme perhaps we can get some prototypes drawn up. this is so the visual

designers have something they can go against so every app has a sort of "flow" to it and color schemes are

not changing drastically through every app. (this can be changed later)

90% of useful apps come from this website in some way so i believe along with Doooshty and Cyanogen

that this can be accomplished...

CALLING ALL DEVS!!!! If you are interested in taking android away from the chains

of the man post here or send me a private message.

Can anyone create a Rom with no google what so ever to start with so we can see where

we need to go from there?

This is coming along nicely (other then the occasional "This is dumb blah blah blah") I want to thank everyone for taking an interest in this.

Now while other ways may work like loop holes and loading close source apps on the user end at this point it will require one of 2 things either 1. Each developer does it thier own way (which is perfectly fine). or 2 automatically import the closed source apps in via script (which im sure could be painless in itself) while this is easy the visual customization would be alot less user friendly AFAIK such as theming. Say you got that nice new manup theme everything just flows together but u open up a stock browser/email/whatever it really throws off the experiance I may be completely wrong but this is what I think.

Dont get me wrong i love google but id rather not have them stopping development right as we got something new rolling.

Stop Talk. Do Work.
