You don't have to be that harsh on somebody asking something that isn't 100 described into detail...

If I may suggest, you could better post your questions in the HD2 ROM Development section of this forum.

But it would be even better if you post at either HD2 Android Development General or the HD2 Q&A subsections... :)

And to answer your questions (as far as I know (I don't use Android))

- dual boot means you have a choice at start-up to boot into windows, or directly boot to Android

- you won't loose Windows completely, as Windows is needed to start the programs to get Android running. (so until we have a stand-alone Android ROM for HD2, you will have some kind/build of Windows:)

- skins/themes applied to windows/Sense should remain

The last part I really don't know if it can, or how :)

(if someone knows more about this, and is willing to share, give it a shot ;))

Grtz,

Degake

Thank You for your help. As for the other response, no worries I know that some people are smarter than others in these topics but the time it took him to open the thread and write "use the search function" couldve been used to either say "I dont know" or answer the questions? Mods please consider this issue solved and close thread.

Okay xda, need your help here. Situation is this. For an IT assignment, we are required to develop a game that is simple but addictive. No thanks to my sad imagination, I have no clue as to what to make. This is where you come in. Just post up what you think is a simple but addictive game. Here's the catch, it needs to be simple enough to complete in roughly 4-5 weeks worth of lessons, relatively trouble free to code in Pascal (sad I know, not my language of choice), and it has to be something that suits males and females aged 14-15. To aid in what I'm looking for, the simplicity of maybe Space Invader, Brick Breaker or maybe even something like Doodle Jump. Just post up what you think might be a fun game to play that's addictive. Love to see what people think.

formula one game where u can switch lanes and the others commin rite at ya ... maybe too simple but u can always spice it up with powerups , score and fuel consumption
[Off-topic] ayilm1:
WOW quick reply! Ok that's going on a list of possibilities. Much better than what I though of! lol
[Off-topic] captainstu72:
ouch, pascal!

not having done serious coding in it (only when at college we had maybe 1 hour on it - go figure)

racing idea is a good one, not sure how easy it would be, but with the option to have different vehicles/colours could be an option (just to expand on souljaboy)

but in my opinion - can never go wrong with tower defence!

As its for 14-15 yr olds, do it with STIs and condoms as the towers :p

yeah maybe a doodle jump like game :D or there this game i realy like where theres a round track and you click (touch screen) and it will go left slightly and the car is constantly getting faster and faster and you have to see how far you can get without touching the sides :D or a fly the copter like game :p :D

[Off-topic] ayilm1:
Thanks for all the replies. There are some really good ideas coming through here. I just need to keep in mind that this has to be quite simple so physics engines are probably out of the question. Let alone not having access to them. If it helps, I'm looking for something that you would play in class when you are extremely bored and will quickly catch a trend. There are some really good suggestions. Thanks a lot.

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sixpence1:
Need a little help setting up my dev environment on Windows 7.

I had it working perfectly on my old PC running XP. I have since bought a laptop with 7 and am trying to set up a dev environment on it but am having issues with the drivers (at least as far as I can tell).

I have:

Android SDK installed - including all available components

Java 1.6 SDK and JRE installed - environment variable is set

SEUS and PC Companion installed

Rooted my phone to 026 using the original method - done on old machine

USB Debugging switched on on my phone

When connecting my phone, I get no option to install the driver. My SDCard also automatically mounts itself, which i'm not sure if that's related to my issue. Any ideas how to stop it from doing that?

When I try to update the driver software via Device Manager (browse to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER), I get 'Windows could not find driver software for your device'.

I've read through a few threads, particularly the rooting issues thread, and googled it in quite a few different ways with no luck. The closest I could find is XperiaX10iUser's post in this thread. Running USBDeview as mentioned, i can only see 'SEMC Flash Device' and 'Sony Ericsson X10i' that would be relevant. However, when I try to uninstall selected devices it does nothing (no error, just doesn't uninstall).

Running 'adb devices' returns a list of devices with nothing in it.

Any help/ideas would be much appreciated as i'm going insane here!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] lisim:
Are u maybe running 64bit win7?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Uninstall your Java and start from scratch using the 32bit versions of Java, and run USBDeview without the phone plugged in if you haven't done already.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sixpence1:
Yes, I'm running 64bit Win 7.

I installed 32bit Java (1.6.0_20) and reinstalled all the Android SDK components. No change in symptoms.

I have run USBDeview with the phone plugged in and without.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] h3llg0d:
i'm running win7 x64 and it works normally.

another day i tried install a theme (without have seus or pccompanion installed on my pc) and i had the same problem. after i installed pccompanion, it worked normally.

remember that you must have usb debugging on, to adb devices show your phone.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Sixpence1:
I definitely have USB Debugging on and PC Companion installed.

Where do the drivers for the X10i actually come from? The phone, SDK Drivers component, SEUS or PC Companion?

What am I missing?

Does anyone else's SDCard mount itself when plugging the phone in? It didn't do this on my old machine.

EDIT: I was able to remove USB devices using USBDeview. Just need to right-click and 'Run as administrator' (which is odd given that my user is admin). Didn't help me installing the driver though. Still can't find anything when pointing to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER.

My <sdkdir> is C:\Android\SDK. It shouldn't matter that it's not the default path should it?

EDIT2: Apparently, DoubleTwist has an auto USB mount option. Doesn't make a difference to the driver issue though.
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] mezo9090:

First let me say thank you to the xda community. I have enjoyed several android rom on my HD2 and will continue to support and test roms hoping to make a permanent transition one day.

Now on to the meat of the thread. Since there are still several flaws in most builds still why not create a app that shuts down or suspends the session of android os without having a power cycle or hard reboot. This would allow the use to take full advantage of both OS surly making it the ultimate device.

Had it in a nice protector as well - it hit the concrete, protector came off, split in 3 bits and screen totally wiped out, smashed....gutted.

I'm on orange contract, didn't pay for any extra insurance, but only had the phone for just under 3 months....will i be able to get it replaced for free????

If not, can someone please, pretty please recommend a good site etc on where I can buy a new screen?>??

do I buy just the screen or have to buy other bits??

any help would be sooooo much appreciated.

thnaks

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmymarsh:
Grim!

I would not recommend you buying a screen and installing it your self, not unless your very handy, but this will void your warranty.

I would send it to HTC service centre (have a look on the web) and get it repaired professionally.

It will cost you around 150 quid but will still be warrantied.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oo Alias oO:

im not claiming to have any experience fittin a hd2 screen, but i have fitted a lg cookie lcd screen replacement when i dropped my old phone, and its easier to replace than you might think.

In the lg cookie (touch screen as well) it is a bit trickey, but as long as you write down where the cables went, (there was about 3) then its just a simple case of re-connecting the ribbon cable to the screen.

Not as hard as you might think, just open it up and have a look.

Yes the warrenty might void, but how often do phones just decide to break on there own anyway??

There is no need for jailbreaking a hero. Just follow the guides available to root it. If you can't follow a guide to root, use univeral androot, although you'll still need to understand what you're doing.

There isn't a one-click root, and it's not really in the spirit of xda. Read about custom ROMs, read about rooting, and get flashing...

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dormantlemon:
i read before, but what is the point?

I saw the answer, and yes it makes sense (i know alot about the ps3/psp scene since psp's release). But it doesnt strictly do anything unique at all on android phones does it?

I mean rooting does exactly the same, and the psjailbreak has no different/new features designed for android (i know it shouldnt, but...).

However, it is certainly nice to see a new kind of exploit available. (i remember the wonder of the gta exploit on psp all those years ago caused cries of delight and dark_alex to become a god, those who remember)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flipy:
I guess the best solution will be to port the exploit to the 2.6.2x kernel (seems more feasible than waiting to have a working 2.6.3x kernel).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Veloxin:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dormantlemon:
I dont believe a chef would help out, because they would have no need to port it. A free easier solution (root) is available, and im sure the chefs have better things to do than port something with not alot of point to the hero.

Thats not to say it wont be done (im sure someone will do it though)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arasthel:
Maybe some people haven't really understood what this PSGroove (PSJailbreak free alternative) does. It's not designed for jailbreaking a Hero. It's a tool that, using Android, is able to jailbreak a PS3. So, if a dev wants to use homebrew on its PS3, I think he will be pretty interested on this.
