Being a complete noob in the smartphone arena, I would like to know what ROM's? are compatible with my phone.
I was parusing the site and ran this one (see link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380991&highlight=pantech
Is this compatible with my pantech duo c810?
If not, how about pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks
Unfortunately, none of the ROMs you'll find here will work on the Pantech C810, or any Pantech phone for that matter. Problem is, they havent found a way to allow the phone to load any ROMs other than the ones that come from either Pantech or AT&T. What you can do is customize the hell outa the phone by hand, but it isn't easy. Hopefully, someone will find out how to bust open the phone and we can have our way with the ROMs, but until then, its hand fixes for those of us who still have too much student loan debt to afford awesome phones.
I bought this phone for my sister a few months back thinking that I would have been able to tweak it like i do my kaiser. Hope they finally do crack this thing, its actually a pretty kickass phone. Dont be ashamed, its still better than a razr...

I just recently joined the Android family, and I'm looking for a secondary device to pretty much use as a testing device. I've got myself a Samsung Captivate, and already went through one close call, so I'd like to have something that isn't my main method of contact to learn the ropes. I'm not looking for something like an N1 (though I'd love that, I can't spare that right now)
I was looking at stuff like the HTC Hero, the G1, Droid Eris. Something along those lines (and within that price range). Obviously it makes no difference if it will work on AT&T, I plan to just use it on WiFi. Any thoughts on other phones that would fit what I'm looking at now? Also, a good development community would be more or less required as I'd be using the phone as a testing ground for anything I'd be doing to my Galaxy S. Thanks!
They recently rooted the phone today. XDA do you think y'all can add it to your data base? It has been reported that they finally rooted it. Now it needs more help for roms and themes and I think xda would be a great help in its process. Please respond.

Considering what happened with the Droid X and its encrypted/boobytrapped bootloader, i think that a development scene for motorola phones is just not worth it.
not worth it?
if a total newb like me can root, install a custom recovery, flash a new rom, and customize my phone to the max, i think the droid problems are not present in this phone. i am trying myself to learn to dev with android, but until i do, i would love to see a 2.1 (or maybe even 2.2 ) rom for this phone. just because you aren't interested (or able) to develop for this phone, don't mean others won't. i love this site, and i have learned alot from the resources here, but it seems to me they are snubbing one of my current phones. every customization on my HD2 has come from (or i learned to do myself on) this site. even way back to my tmo wing i was learning stuff from this site. but if people feel my phone isnt good enough for this site, well, modmymobile is workin their collective rear ends off tryin to dev for this phone. i know i'm not the most active poster on this site, but thats because newbs are like children, seen and not heard, to some folks on here. well, this isn't the only dev site on the web, as sorry as i would be not to be able to use my first dev site.
Yeah I was thinking the same. Tmobile offered me 3 phones to choose from sence they stop restocking the g1. Moto cliq, moto cliq xt, nokia nuron. That's not a really fair chance from the phone selection which the nokia sucks and the other phones are basicly the same. One has a hard keyboard and the other has a soft keyboard. Plus from what I heard you can't install apps like you can on the g1 because of the security measures. Modmyphone gave a lot of information, if the moto cliq xt picks up further I might end up getting it or wait for my 2 yr contract to finish and get full discount.

Seriously I would love to c a cliq xt section, Im really disappointed that modmymoto only have like 3 devs working on XT, i spent way too much time here back when i had my g1. There r way too many good devs here who could do wonders w cliq xt.
After all, if cliq xt doesn't pick up on here after a while, section can just b taken down but don't deny cliq's abilities, i would kill to c a Hero sense or froyo tuning on it. I'd assume a good challenge would just attract more devs to work on xt.
Right at this moment I am craving for a new toy - a smartphone. Both, the Defy and HD2 seem to me worthy, except for Defy's blur and need of modding. What personally would you chose of these two?
HTC HD2!!
---------
depends on what you need. If you want to go swimming with your phone get the defy.
i love my HD2 so many different roms and updates that this thing will never be outdated
I like to do extreme stuff, but I also need an ultimate entertainment box because I work long night shifts. There is also fear of buying a used phone of ebay.
cant go wrong with xda's best fone of the yr -two times
Check the Defy section here, I know there's a working 2.2 build from China working on T-mobile Defy models. The chipset in the Defy is looking pretty well so far too, not sure how it compares to Snapdragon.
Trying to get now myself HD2
I was just wondering whether anything was happening regarding Android on the Palm Pre mobile phones?
There are plenty of people asking, but has anyone started the project? It's already coming to the TouchPad, so will anyone be making Android for it?
Thanks and sorry if this is in the wrong place.
it is 100% completely and utterly possible.
It's a relatively small task to undertake, but nobody has a pre 3 unfortunately. They sold out before a price cut in the hope that people would get refunds, and they did.
I'm buying an HP Pre 3 as we speak, and I'll be trying to learn how to port and develop ASAP, but it will be a huge undertaking for me, as I'm only 16 and I'm busy with A-Levels and **** like that associated with school. Don't count on anything from me though, I might not be even able to get my head round all this computer speak... (I bet my brother '£30 + a slap' that I'd become a recognized developer one day, so I really want to do it, I just don't know if I have the time.)
I'm not very literate when it comes to android, but I know how it works (I run an old HTC Hero GSM and have seen and helped with about 12098201 billion ports) so I could get it done. Just be patient. I really hope someone beats me to the punch though, cos if it's left to me I couldn't deal with the pressure...
Please don't thank any of my posts by the way, I don't want to be that guy who talks alot and gets nothing done, but still gets credit for stuff.
ehh ignore my ramblings if you want, just know that, one way or another, there will be a port of android to the Pre 3 some day.
Great news !
I could do some tests for you if you need it since I own a Pre 3.
Actually, the Pre 3 hardware is really good but I miss the Android Market and its apps...
the pre 2 has the came processor as the droid x so wouldnt that make an android port easier?
n anything from me though, I might not be even able to get my head round all this computer speak... (I bet my brother '£30 + a slap' that I'd become a recognized developer one day, so I really want to do it, I just don't know if I have the time.)

can we get a legitamate resonce for this please...ICS will be out soon and i want to see how it is.
This would be a dream to me.
any takers? i dont wanna have to get a new phone already after buying this pre 2 -___-
Yesterday I backed up everything on both my Touchpad and my Pre3 (Veer I put on a separate palm account and Isync'd everything via google). Today I put android a3 on my Touchpad (as a hedge against full blown demise of webOS ...I have deplored the failure of the backup server of late as a possible sign of that sorry end). Now, at least, I know it will have a life in a webOSless world. I would love to see it go on my Pre3 as well to be somewhat secure (Pre3 cost me more than Touchpad). I note with interest the openings that "seem" to be for future microSD and/or SIM and will watch the secondary market offering these items and others (i.e. replacement batteries, parts) for DIY if the thing gets a new lease on life.
I'll just throw it out there: someday I want to work for Google on Android. There, I said it. You've gotta dream big, right?
But I'm completely serious about it, and I know that means starting from the bottom and doing the little things, like playing with the Android SDK, rooting, the app inventor, and other simple things like that.
However, I look at forums and see all these posts about unlocking bootloaders and using adb and I'm just lost, especially with adb. I've been trying to understand it since I got my first Android phone back in 2010. I've read countless articles online about adb: what it is, how to use it, and how it works, but I still don't get it. I also know that adb is a pretty basic thing when it comes to development.
I currently have two Android devices I use regularly: my AT&T Atrix 2 is running stock 4.0.4 ICS and is rooted, but it's going to be replaced soon by a VZW Galaxy S4 or HTC One, if they ever get it. My Acer Iconia Tab A700 is running stock 4.1 Jelly Bean, and isn't rooted.
The devices I don't use anymore are my original Atrix 4G, which fell victim to a custom ROM tragedy (hard brick), and I also have my old HTC Aria (my first Android phone, which I flashed a Froyo ROM to shortly after getting it) currently running CM7 which I used for about a month until my Atrix 2 replaced my original one.
I'm out of luck when it comes to downloading things to play around with as my home internet is an AT&T 3G MiFi with a 5GB monthly data limit (shared by a family of four) and my phone has a 2GB limit.
I just finished up my first year of college as a Computer and Multimedia Graphics major, and I'll be taking courses on Computer Maintenance, Animation, GUI Design, and 3D Modeling among others.
So all the ranting aside, is there some easier explanation of adb that someone could give to me, and give me some starting advice with developing and hacking?
If you want to work for Google/Android, the first thing to do would be to read the official documentation :
hxxp://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html
And you can find some nice tutorial like the one below on the internets:
