Just wanted to say to all the cooks out there batiful work i still run ino issues now and then with which ever rom i am playing with but over all awesome jobs guys gonna try and join your ranks but i got to be careful as my test phone is my only phone atm lol. I see tons of stuff i would love to incorperate but of course getting it all to work together and have memory left will be interesting. Anyway beautiful jobs guys. I'll try not to be to much of a pest as i learn.
its hard to be a pest when learning to cook lol... just ask away and if you find any bugs just post them in the cooks post... =P I love seeing new people getting into it
Funny title huh Seriously though, I am tired of the hit and miss of live wallpapers, and other apps working or not working on my beloved Hero, that being said what I have desperately been trying to do is learn Java(a live wallpaper not sticking when all my others do is what started this, it's dumb I know) so I can start programming things to work for our phone(or at least try). I have spent 2 days looking for a good way to learn Java, I have been all over the net hunting for an interactive Java tutorial and have come up empty handed, I found a couple PDFs as well as some online tutorials but they don't explain everything(it seems like they all assume you already know some Java or programming), I am a total beginner and need it all explained, preferably with hands on. I am a fast learner when things are explained and taught properly, I think I could excel at this, so I figure this community is the best place to ask for advice on how and where to proceed, so come on guys help me out what is the best way for a total beginner to proceed, how did you all start, where did you go for help? Again, I am only asking here because I really have spent 2 days looking for a proper tutorial and come up empty handed...THANKS!!
Oh, I can skype if some saintly person feels like teaching.
edit:this is what started my obsession http://www.mediafire.com/?jiynwdnmc1z out of the 6 I have this is the only one that wont stick, so I figured why not try to re-build it my self after comparing it to the ones that do stick(it does run perfectly, just wont stick)
Well if you are a total newbie to programming my best advice is goto your local book store or half-price books(used book store) and find a book on java programing probly too first one would be java progamming for dummies and the second one a more adavaced book go though both of them do the lesson in there and learn by doing best way to do it and then check out the froyo thread for the irc room and if you get stuck ask someone in there oh on here your direct question if you do your homework and give a detialed description of what your working on more people are going to try and help you but this is just my two cents and the extend of my attempt at advice good luck and hope to see your name on an op soon
Wow, I gotta say, I do like that lwp a lot man. Thanks for posting the link to it Good luck on learning Java man. It's not too hard, but once you start scripting with it etc... that's a whole different story, lol
It's good to see someone wants to stop putting up with stuff not working and make it work Honestly, I'd just go to your local library, and check out a bunch of stuff on Java... that's what I did with Python
It's going to take a lot of reading and trial and error to learn java. But a little heads up, the live wallpapers that don't stick, is a driver issue, not a programming issue. I don't know enough about android, so unless there is a line you can add to the header to force software rendering, you can't do much about it.

Thanks for the responses guys! I really didn't think of grabbing a Dummies book, I figured there would be a good course online, but that's what I'm going to get first thing tomorrow. I figure once I get familiar with it all(maybe a week or two) I will compare the ones that work with the one that doesn't and go from there. I think the first app I would like to work on would be a request from the forum, you guys all help and give back, I think that would be a great way to put the knowledge to good use Well, thanks again, I'm still open to more suggestions, maybe a couple weeks from now I can at least give you guys a neat wallpaper!

**** my bad. Not sure I can do that here. Check your pm
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but the wallpaper you are working on is a pirated upload of a paid LWP in the market. The original author of the LWP would probably be happy to help paid customers get it working.
I'm all for you learning how to code up some cool stuff for the community, and I wish you the best, but stealing other people's stuff isn't the way to go.
hmm, was not intentionally "stealing" I paid for it, the developers response is " LWP's don't work on hero, sorry" so I thought I would try to make it work for me, I'm pretty sure if I could provide a way for hero users to use it they would all gladly pay the $1 as I did, as it stands I "pirated", yet another, unusable app, hey hero users come get your free, unusable, paid app

That's cool...your OP links to a mediafire download for a paid app, so I didn't realize you knew it was paid. It's lame that the guy won't fix it, but I guess those of us slumming it on the hero have to get used to doing things ourselves, eh? Good luck to you...it is a cool LWP.
That wallpaper sticks just fine on my hero. Running Aloysius 2.1 maps version.

Aint you helpful
Last I checked, this whole site is pirated. If you think about it. It's basically a whole guide on how to hack phones and get free apps. So why are you even putting it out there that the guy is pirating. LOL. Doesn't make any sence but I thought I'de throw that in there.

wow, I seriously apologize for all of this, all I wanted to do was give back to our community, I have been taking for a year plus & thought it was time to step it up a notch, I did not want to start fights, sorry, if any mods want me to take it down I will.(oh,I really paid for it, that's my mediafire account,after it didn't work I pulled it off my phone to try and work with it.) I'm getting my books now, if I get stuck I hope I can post my questions, thanks again guys!
Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
First off theycallmegq. This site does not promote pirating anything. Read the forum rules posted by binary. Who might just ban you if your not careful.
That being said. I would highly recommend the for dummies set of books for starters. Thats what im doing with linux and programming. Also there is a book specifically on the android platform and development at the book stores as well. Last i checked in the computer at barnes and noble i think it was they were coming out with a new one i think had to do with java and android. There was also a post in here a while back about learning development after you have an understanding of the basics at least. Might want to search for that after a couple of weeks. Good luck with your adventure. Im sure the creator of the lwp wouldnt mind you helping make it better.
I think the poster used an unfortunate choice of words. If this was a site concerning iphone OS development it definately would be considered hacking. Modifying Apple OS in anyway is a NO NO! It was hard for me "At first" to get past the "Openess" of Android. Thats why we sould be screaming anytime we see E-fuses in phones (Motorola) or No sideloading of Apps (AT&T). I for one am thankful to be able to have source code to work with and a group such as this one to help out. My little hero is thankful too ... Without you guys I would have an EVO by now...
As far as Java Programming, do a search on "Java Tutorial". Theres a lot at your finger tips.
Try:
www.javapassion.com
just recently changed to a subscription based site, but first few chapters of each class are free to try and learn, even have an android class strarting at the end of the month.
That LWP works fine for me too.
If you would like to see some awesome stuff come this way from these guys, feel free to send some donations...goal is 350 per dev in order to get a g2x for each of them. Don't see the harm. Either you would like to you would don't; NO FLAMING...thanks noobs and senior member alike!
Birgertime/Romanbb
Whitehawkx
Follow us on twitter to keep track of the amounts gained, will get removed once reached! @jface21 @romanbb @whitehawkx
Preview of things to come:
9 Lockscreens! for Froyo
9 Lockscreens! for Gingerbread
***Disclaimer***
NOT requiring you to donate, but for sake of more cool stuff for you/me, it would be super awesome. I did this NOT them!
I could throw some change their way...great Vibrant devs. Have they committed to develop if they get the phone? Might help to hear from them.
Anyway your BirgerTime Paypal link doesn't work.

White and I are dying to play with a new phone. We'll give it all we've got
(by the way, this was jface's idea, white & I didn't know he was doing this, thanks jface)
I will be 110% committed to development on the G2X. First order will be a multitude of lockscreens for everyone to choose from. Roman has been developing all kinds of status bar tweaks and such which can be viewed here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123830.
Since the G2X is aosp based we will be able to do so much more with it. That and that fact that Roman is a java master. Needless to say, I dont think anyone will be disappointed.
BTW - thanks jumaan for getting this going.

Yeah they most definitely will be once/if they are able to purchase the phone(s).
The link should be fixed now and if you decide to donate to them, thanks for the support =)

Glad it was your idea ;-)

Good to hear you guys are interested. I looked at some of your work and was very impressed. I donated a bit...will do more next week (after payday).
A note to everyone complaining about a perceived lack of development...devs can't afford to purchase every new device that they are willing to support (working for free). If you want more development, support it. Skip the morning Starbuck's and give a couple bucks...just my two cents.
just donated to both of you
hope you guys get the phone!
but while your waiting i have sgs4g favor to ask hehe
anyway you guys can deodex the GB rom with root inside please
i rooted the rom just cant get it to deodex
we are having problems
only if its not to much though!
much love for you guys work <3
Guys, I used birgertimes roms in the vibrant days and they were the most stable, eye candy full roms, that would fly. I'm down to donate when I get trip a computer. We need more developers.

THANKS!
they are both at $10 a pop 340ish to go!
Maybe everyone who is leaving to the sensation would be willing to sell theirs at a discounted rate
I will see about scrounging some cash to donate! More devs the better!
Alright, got 10 sent to Birgertime and 10 to Whitehawk. You guys rock and I can't wait to see what you guys can come up with!!!!!!! Trust me guys, they can make some KILLER roms!
will donate we need something new, f the sentation
If progress keeps coming as fast as it is now, they might have g2x's before the end of June!!
Thanks for the support guys. We will no let you down.
Bump. Come in guys. trust me, they will do amazing things for us.

I was a vibrant owner and sold them for the g2x....these two devs are the best at what they do.....lol this would change the game completely.......omg im so happy now..down with the sensation now boys
i made some douchebag comments bout donating when i first joined this forumz a couple months ago so imma send some in cause after flashing and using roms it reali is worth it
For those that know me from Behold , G1, Vibrant, and MT4G forums across the web, I have switched to hacking the droid Charge. I was thinking of starting a webchat server for the droid charge devs so that we can all get together and talk. If you think this would be beneficial let me know. I'm the type to not do it if nobody is going to help out. But i think with the couple of Devs on here and the up and coming devs for the Charge it would be good to have an IRC chat to make it possible. Let me know what you think .
for my loyal TMO fans that are writing and asking why I switched. The Sensation. was a wonderful phone. But I moved to an area where Verizon dominant. I had to switch for work. I still love TMO and HTC but unless the Bionic can drop in the next few days, I'm sticking with the Charge for a lil while. Samsung was my first hacked phone so I like it. Been hacking and making roms for HTC for so long I forgot there was other challenges.
Umm... Droid Charge IRC
Welcome aboard Looking forward to meeting you in chat and using your mods/roms
Good to see another heavy hitter in the Charge Community. Welcome aboard.
Sent from my C64 over PSINet using my new, super cool 1200 baud modem.
Awesome, welcome aboard! Yeah the #charge irc channel is lit for everyone, hit that up and join in. Never owned an HTC device, so unfortunately never been able to sample your work, but another experienced dev is always welcome, really look forward to seeing what you cook up!
Loving all these hard-working devs helping us make this a truly great phone, now if only we could get koush to fix cwm so we could do nandroid backups, we would be set! I love trying new roms, I just don't often have the time it takes for a Titanium backup and restore. But that's a minor issue, can't wait for this weekend when ill have a chance to try out all these new roms, and maybe even the GB leak!
Welcome! Ya we do already have an IRC(as posted by imnuts), can't wait to see what ROMs/kernels/mods/themes/etc you release
Ahhhh. The link was hidden in the General Area. Sorry about that guys. Still getting used to this Droid Charge stuff.
Alright guys... we al know we have spur of ports for us in the last few weeks, and then in the last week had 2 native roms being released...All of this was made possible by Dman, bigfau, and boostnsubaru(pm me if i forgot anyone)... and it really livened up our forum... but as we all know, there are new phones out, and no doubt alot of us probably want them.
So i'm making this post to try and keep these developers with us even if they want to venture into new phone territory. As we know dman his giving is infuse to his daughter and getting a skyrocket, but will still develop for us if we can donate one for him... he said he got 500 downloads in the first week of CatyRom... which i have really enjoyed... here is the link for it for anyone who has not seen it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367377
If all 500 or so of us would donate less than a dollar, he would be able to buy another from anywhere he wishes, even though AT&T might not have them in stock, there is always ebay, craiglist or something like that, so please if everyone would donate 60cents, we could keep a great developer.
Now i am not trying to praise Dman, and leave the other 2 out... bigfau has also made a native rom for us, and ported plenty of roms over to us
Here is his native rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375212
Boost ported over MitRa and MIUI, which itself sounds like a large feat
So lets try and show our support and donate to them to keep us alive... there are more than enough of us to do that
well i donated a little something to start it off the other day. hopefully others will follow suit.
I would donate to someone for cm roms but is on medical leave and its unpaid so doctor vists and no income has sunk me.

+1. Dman is like the new gtg465, we need him to stay and not go. He has done so much, without him the infuse development may sink some more. There are devs left, but they are slowly decreasing. I, for one am going to start. Just the problem is my infuse is pretty much bricked for good, and if the opportunity comes for me to go to the skyrocket or even plain gs2 because of my infuse, it will be taken. I will be getting either (and the gnexus too!) because my parents can upgrade. Hopefully my phone comes to a working state, I feel a need to dev for the android phone that introduced me to all. Whoops I blabbered too much lol.
I will donate when I get home
