Flash isn't games only. there's plenty of applications like google finance and thousands of web sites using flash.

Here it is how they would work with HTML5

[YOUTUBE]<object width="580" height="360"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rfmbZkqORX4?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rfmbZkqORX4?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="580" height="360"></embed></object>[/YOUTUBE]

For some reason I can't embed the flash demo on nexus but we pretty much know how well flash is already working.

Basically from where we stand now HTML5 is a few years and a few hundred MHZ away from the flash performance we have today.

I don't know about X10 because I hate sony (blame M2 memory cards and the pop-port which they shoved for years down user's throats) but if I ran Flash 10.1 on galaxy and N900 (yah, that's a nokia) without froyo I think it's 100% doable on the x10.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
However, Adobe sooner or later will have to re-write there content in order to fully support touch screen. I think it is possible when and if this happens it could very well be with html and not flash. And, since we can support h.264 for video play back and pocket device gaming content is much larger with the 4 the negatives are currently offset.

In any case none of this is helping the X10!
[XPERIA X10 General] qbzee007:
As many problems as the Xperia may have, i'll never be a conformist!! Iphones are for excatly those type of people. No hardware or no hardware, software or no software!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bec07:
So you guys never considered eg... Samsung or any other brand after getting the shaft from sony?
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I don't know mate. I know I have read plenty from people talking about the evil empire. I don't know anything about it, or why some users are so against them. I use google everything too and they track every aspect of your life that they can. But than again, I don't really care.

I simply buy what I want.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Did I say anything about the X10 or even iPhone for that matter? I was just expressing my concerns regarding Flash and HTML5. Fact remains that until a consensus is reached on which codec will be recommended for HTML5 it's future remains in flux. Until then, which can be a long time given W3C's history, Flash will be the vessel of choice.

But you iPhone users can unclench a little, Adobe seems more willing to cooperate with Apple now that they've lessened their draconian app store policies. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
A devices life span is about a year for me. I will buy my next device come June or july of 2011. I will look at much more than I have before. However, SE will not be included in my future purchases.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
No you did not. And, I understood your point completely. I just added that little bit at the end myself ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] karendar:
I actually have an iphone 4 and an X10 side by side right now... I love the sensibility of the iphone 4 screen, but it pretty much ends there. The design of the phone isn't as comfortable to hold, the antenna issues (Drops from 4 bars to 1 bar by simply making a call) annoys me so much... The icon layout and the feel of the OS in general doesn't appeal to me. The X10 pretty much has what I need for now even without Eclair or Froyo, I still can't wait to get it installed though!
[XPERIA X10 General] Bec07:
Yup, SE is deffinitley not on my purchase list either.

I used to have the one year policy too... but then came 3GS and N900... oh the pain... don't think I had any of them for more than 7 months... :(
[XPERIA X10 General] mickeko:
They made the smartphone hit mainstream, kudos to Apple for doing that. Windows mobile and symbian UI was dreadful, and nothing got better at all before Apple set the standard.

Doesn't make me want an iPhone today though.

[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
It is all about perspective and, what you use your device for. It is simply a question of which device is the best fit for your needs. And, the X10 is too limited for me needs compared to my 4.

That in no way means that you are not getting what you want out of the 10. edit- too bad you wasted you money buying a second device when you already had one that you were happy with :(
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
There is an a*s for every seat. In any case we all have to appreciate anything any manufacturer does to improve our overall expience in general!
[XPERIA X10 General] naplesbill:
Actually, Android was already being worked on so there would have been improved UI without Apple. Apple certainly changed the mindset of the average user though.

Also, anecdotal evidence, that generally gets splattered all over web forums, has some value but is not something I would put myself 100% behind. I have given anecdotal evidence myself but I always try to state it in a way that makes it clear that just because it works that way for me doesn't guarantee anything for anyone else. My X10 (on AT&T) gets better reception than any phone I have had on AT&T prior. I get signal in places where all other phones fail. My coworker has an iPhone 4 and he gets very annoyed that I can sit in our cafeteria and use my phone while he can't even pick up a signal. This is the first device I have had that gets a signal in this location (all carriers included in this). So, there you have my own anecdotal evidence.

I also have to say that my phone NEVER lags after it is fully booted. During the first minute or so after a boot it does lag at the unlock screen but once that minute or so is up, no lag at all. I have the original AT&T R2CA016 ROM which is rooted, decrapified (bloat removed), and non-market apps re-enabled. I am still using the original launcher and have only added a couple of widgets. My battery easily lasts 1.5 to 2 days and I used it quite a bit through the day. If I play cards (games on phone) then it will only last a full day instead. :)

So, the bottom line is that most advice or comments about devices on this (or any other) web forum is purely anecdotal. There is no way to determine just how similar an experience someone else would have because there are just too many variables.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Experince with devices is very subjective. That is why I always acknowledge to each their own. For me X10 is a total dog which is why I don't use it very often.
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
So according to you, all the people who don't like you are just the same one person?

Pray tell me, what grammatical errors have you found in my posts you half assed dickwad?

I'm sick of your bs now. Atleast a few days ago you used to make a bit of sense and if you remember at one point I even agreed with you

Well now you're back on my ignore list. Good riddance
[XPERIA X10 General] Bec07:
This is SEriously becoming boring. It should though be a lesson for you guys to avoid sony in the future... (if they don't release froyo*)
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I have learned my lesson about SE. I do feel bad that my only Android experience has been with SE. Maybe when I get my next device in June I will give Android another chance.
[XPERIA X10 General] grh_angelone:
...says the guy who syncs his calendar, contacts and mails with google

ot: i'd buy an iphone if it would cost the same as my x10
[XPERIA X10 General] ukon:
Hell no! I won't trade my x10 for a bloody iPhone. I would rather have an HTC Desire Z if I have to change phone.

But il'l not buy another iPhone. Not going to happen.Not in the nearest future atleast.
[Desire General] DroidBois:
I'm getting force close errors everywhere - on Manage Applications and occasionally on other apps like TuneWiki in certain functions.

I suspect I may need to do a Factory Reset but this would lose all my application data? Save game files for RoboDefence? Is there any way to retain application data without rooting?

Or should I just kiss everything goodbye if I factory reset? I'm not concerned about configurations such as for NewsRob or Doggcatcher, more for built up data in an application like RoboDefence.

Lookout has a 'backup' function but I'm not sure what that does.

Is a factory reset even worth the hassle? I'm going on holiday soon so I want a working phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
for search, possible in GoogleSearch.apk or htcsearchwidget.apk.

For power widget, i think that may be in /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Also check the /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

[General Questions and Answers] alecoddlyiv:
It has occurred to me looking at the offerings available now as upgrades from my network provider that in six months time when my contract comes up for renewal that my choice is likely to be an overpriced windows 7 device or an android variant.

In my mind the continuation of windows mobile in its 6.x.x variants on new devices is going to be down to this community flashing roms onto either of the above platforms and I would imagine that the most obvious thing would be if android can be flashed to a winmo device the opposite should be true too.

Just a question, not sure if it has been discussed elsewhere already
[General Questions and Answers] :
I am also interested in this question.

So:

does anybody know if there have been made attempts to port WinMo to an Android Hardware (i.e. HTC Desire) ?

Any knowledge about this?

Please do not answer: "Why would you do this?". That's not the question ...

Thanks for any info :-)

phone boots but when i get to loading HTC Sense i get a box come up and it says

Run FILEOP

\windows\Menu_FILEOP_Opera failed

anyone know what I messed up ??

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile] Demon_man:

I saw the "extras" in ROM manager and tried the updated Superuser. It showed up in my apps but none of my root apps worked. I had to revert to a backup to get root back. Anyone else tried?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] stroupified:
i think the type of superuser depends on the rom your using, and an updated superuser might not work with the one you have. i tried cooking a rom with the "ninja" superuser and it wouldn't work but when i tried the "#" superuser it worked. if your using a custom rom then i would ask the dev if it would support updated superuser apks.

hope this helps...at least a little. :)

[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
So, I just grabbed the Hero port from here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=722122. And then, I did the following -

1) loaded into dsixda's kitchen and selected 'Advanced' and 'port'

2) used freshly compiled AOSP ROM with freshly compiled kernel as base for device (using Android Builder - link in sig)

3) replaced 'heroc' with 'desirec' in updater-script & build.prop

4) changed several lines in build.prop to change 'Sprint' into 'Verizon' & 'Hero CDMA' into 'Eris'

5) renamed 'init.heroc.rc' in ramdisk to 'init.desirec.rc'

6) copied 'desirec-keypad.kcm.bin' & 'desirec-keypad.kl' from planejane into appropriate locations

7) copied 'sensors.desirec.so' from planejane to appropriate location

Seriously. That's all that I did.

What works:

wifi

camera (no preview)

bluetooth (well it turns on, I don't have anything to test)

Market (after the Google bits are installed)

phone calls

3G

touch screen

buttons

lights

SMS

What doesn't work:

MMS (couldn't send)

OC won't work because the kernel I used doesn't have it.

This is really nice for no more work than it takes to port. It kind of hurts me, because I like the idea of compiling from source so much better...

I don't want to step on any toes of people who are doing real work, since I don't plan on maintaining this ROM. (Well, I didn't really do much of anything anyway!) So, hence the instructions above. Roll your own, if you want.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:

[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:

[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
lol i ported this too .. if anyone wants to check it out ,, let me know
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
Team edward

lol nope there just isn't one up . . .

by the way gnarlyc for your own good, you should put a link up or edit the title before the heathens start chewing on your neck =)
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
:) Yeah, I thought that NOT putting [ROM] in the title would take care of it. Maybe not...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
if ur not gunna upload it , i have a copy that i will , if ur cool with that ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Hey, I just provided the instructions... If I were going to post the ROM, I would make sure it's ok with darchstar. That's just me though. Since it's all open source, it may not matter one way or another.

So, yeah, it's ok with me! I haven't sent my build to anyone yet, so if you ported it, well, you ported it!

Thanks for asking. That's the way to be.

I do have one request though... If you make any more changes, can you post them too? And not just - "v53 - fixed thingy". I really like to see what people are doing, so I can learn how they did it. That's purely a request. You are in no way obligated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Cool deal then. The next thing that I was going to do was change the "Sprint" in res/xml/eri.xml in the framework-res.apk to say Verizon. I had no idea of where to do that until last night when it was mentioned in the irc channel by andrew8806 & conap.

This is really good build. I'm using it right now as my everyday ROM. It will be good for this to be an option for people. It's just not a part of my plan... Muhahaha.

Rock on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sjflowerhorn:
very informative, thanks for editing the title accordingly. =) don't need anymore flames rising. And also thanks for making sure to add the ASK DARCHSTAR part in the OP beings that there was already almost a issue between him the heroc community and one of the eris forum members(you already know who) due to a mixup.
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
I'm feeling like an idiot but I can't find ramdisk to make the necessary changes, othwise great info as always.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
If you are using dsixda's Kitchen, you can go to Advanced and then '15'. It will expand the boot.img out into a folder called BOOT-EXTRACTED, and there's a folder in there that is the contents of the ramdisk and the kernel. Be sure to build the boot.img back after making changes and before building the ROM.

I also find the G1 Android Development forum quite interesting. Start at the oldest posts and come forward. There's a lot of good stuff in there, and there's no telling how much I've missed by just skimming the subjects for interesting things.

There's a lot to learn. It takes time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zach.xtr:
+ 1 on the G1 forum thanks for the post!
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
First successful port done!
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Well done! Did you have to do anything that I did not list in the instructions in this thread? Share?

Honestly, it's real tempting to take yet another detour and make a plugin for the kitchen that will do the steps in the OP (CDMA Hero --> Eris) and maybe another one that's Eris --> CDMA Hero.

I don't think it will take much time to do, and it will make Hero ports even easier for people who don't have the time to dig into things as well as they probably should if they are going to be a dev. (There is a downside to making all of this easier to do...)
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
No it was not as simple as the instructions that you posted. I had to do extensive modifications to build.prop to even get the phone to connect to the vzw network. That is fixed now but I still can't get wifi connection and there are other issues as well such as the softkey lights not working.

When I get it all figured out I will report back.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
That doesn't surprise me. Each ROM is going to be different. So far, my experiences have gone like this -

1) This CM6 CDMA Hero ROM was easy to get most functionality by following the instructions.

2) An old G1 Android 1.5 ROM works well except I cannot get it to connect to Verizon. The wireless works and the ROM as a whole is responsive.

3) A freshly compiled AOSP 2.2 ROM connects to Verizon, but I can't get the wireless or audio (ringtones don't play).

I've started using the vendor tree on Kaos' github as a start in getting the hardware to work, but even that has only helped so much. There's still a lot to figure out. I look forward to finding out what you did to connect to Verizon. I did basically the same thing on #2 above that worked for #3, but it didn't work... It's quite confusing. I'm missing something somewhere.
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
Use an app like beyond compare and look at your ported or freshly built build.prop compared to build.prop from a working ROM and you will easily see what is missing for wifi and data. I will post the missing stuff next time I pull up the build.prop but I like it would be better if you see it for yourself.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gnarlyc:
Yeah, I've been using WinMerge for a while now. I've basically done what worked in SgtShultz (except used files from Eris1.5rooted and not Plain Jane) -

copied libhtc_acoustic.so & libhtc_ril.so from Plain Jane v1 into /system/lib

copied Audio* from planejane into /system/etc

in build.prop...

commented out - rild.libpath=/system/lib/libreference-ril.so & rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyS0

added - rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so

ro.ril.default.modem-type = 2

ro.telephony.default_network = 4

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310012

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = Verizon​

I also tried adding -

ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask = 4294967295

ro.ril.htcmaskw1 = 268449905

ro.cdma.data_retry_config = max_retries=infinite,0,0,60000,120000,480000,900000

ro.ril.oem.ecclist=911,*911,#911​

You know though, it doesn't look like Eris1.5rooted has

ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric = 310012

ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha = Verizo​

Maybe I should take those out. So, it sounds like I'm on the right track. I'm thinking about finding a Hero ROM that has a GSM and CDMA version and compare them. That should make the CDMA stuff stand out, I would think.
