There's a new video on the Android Developers Blog; that is essentially a walkthrough of some of the new Eclair features. Just an interesting tidbit for your consideration about the future of what's going to be on our devices
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/10/announcing-android-20-support-in-sdk.html
Thanks for this !
it also looks like Android 2.0 SDK is now available?!
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Doesnt this mean it can be compiled into a functional rom now?
how long before we can flash 2.0 on our devices?

when someone pulls the imgs from the sdk and makes it into an update
hopefully not long then
Ah every minute is too long . When will we get it ?
I need those layers and other stuff on my GMaps.
And thought I will never say this ever, but that android at the start was cute
Just got Android 2.0 to boot in emulator... looks nice! digging the new icons.

i thought the sdk release for this was private to the devs that won the best app crap
::edit::
nevermind i should probably get online to do more than check twitter facebook and xda
the new avd manager and layoutopt look sweet
layoutopt will help alot if i could get hero booting on it hahaha.. il lsee if this is intented to run from emulator or if i can run it while my device is running (will allow cleaning up of file heirarchies ...= less symlinks/useless files the system goes through to find the original file = faster interface less cpu load)
when i get home ill see if i can get it going on a device........

No sir publicccc... been playing with the emulator even though it doesnt do much... still somewhat fun? Would i be crazy to try to fastboot the img? haha
Does this mean we can get the Sholes dump apps working?

yes
enjoy your brick
hahah jk jk i dont think itd be a good idea because of boot.img compatibility
from what im reading in this sdk stuff it has settings on your avd for multiple res differences... someone grab what our screens can handle post it and you can prolly pull the corresponding boot.img from your sdk
if anything id suggest getting into your adb via emulator and see if you cant just adb pull the system data and framework folders
or you can unyaffs the sdk's "stock" system.img and add/replace apk's for functionality "the google experience" can be added as well
i dont really recall where the SDK sticks its "stock" system.img and boot.img though

as far as sholes idk why the apps werent working i was waiting for the sdk release to play with the dump from sholes
you can prolly make an avd matching sholes specs n boot the dumped system.img from it via emulator if you REALLY wanna play with it
no promises tho there could b closed source stuff in the sholes dump that will prevent emulator from running it
i have SO much stuff to do today by the time i get to my computer someone will have prolyl posted a update.zip
if no one has ill swing by my folks house to use their t1 landline dl the sdk and try to get a update.zip for you guys

Same here, besides my tethering speed range is 2 - 7m/bits.
I hear its unhealthy for the phone tho.
Anywho... good luck on the work if you get to it. I wish I had the ability to do that kinda stuff.
Love the ability to sync multiple google accounts.
I hope there will be the chance to selectively enable the sync on an account basis, ie : account 1 mail sync on, account 2 mail sync off but contacts on, etc.

Hello all I would like some assistance on how to PORT over the Browser from Eclair. I have successfull installed the Flash application from the Droid-eris on my G1. Any thoughts. This may be the way to getting flash on our devices.

Its compiled for SDK 5 so atm no way except backporting.

The droid eris is android 1.5, not eclair. Lots of people have wanted to and tried to bring flash over, but so far no good.
If you go to android-platform group, you will see that JBQ try to port all to ADP1 and lot ot things work.
We must wait and it will be come
See this link http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/53c6f66d5dc155bd
As I understand it, *right now*, you can simply compile the android master branch for HTC DREAM, and it will work fine except for no camera.

To be honest, I took a quick look last week, and most of the new UI prettiness stuff is webkit and/or framework based, so coming up with an APK that'll run on Donut will be a nightmare. Other things (e.g. double tap zooming) I'm doing in my browser already. I might have another play this weekend, but to be honest I think I'll wait until 2.0 ROMs start to appear before I really get my teeth into the 2.0 browser code.
You do know Eclair doesn't have Flash (yet)?
Other than using Root Explorer, and ADB'ing with the ls command, is there a way to see the phone's files (not SDCARD) on the PC with GUI capabilities?
android commander
ha! i helped your ass, at last!
droid explorer also works.
I've used droid explorer and it works pretty well. I ran into some quirks at times but should be adequate. Root explorer is the bomb though for file management on the device sans pc.

PERFECT dude! Exactly what Im looking for.
Now I command you to fix my force close Rosie issue dammit!!!! Or NO MORE MOUNTAIN DEW FOR YOU!
how about for a Mac? /dons flame proof suit to survive the onslaught of Mac haters.
well buddy idk where your other thread went, so ill just post it here. js recomends posting a logcat, and it does make sense. we cant fix the issue without knowing what it is.
my recomendations:
if your really getting hit with fc's, so bad that your being distrupted from daily use, id honestly say youd need to live with rosie. for whatever reason rosie is making you so uncomfortable, maybe its time to just learn to accept her into your life
switch roms. ic3 is all aosp, has jit, and fixed the utility fc issue. oc'ing is possible in any rom, just takes some modding. i truthfully dont like oc'ing, and would advice against it(personally....)
talk to the dev. i dont follow that thread, as in, at all, but im sure if you posfed there theyd be more than happy to help.

Checkout an app called WebSharing (Lite version exists as well). It lets you access (upload/download/move) your device's files through a web portal. It works over WiFi and (supposedly) over cellular.

Thanks Luckily I ran Linux for a couple of years before I got this Mac so I'm ok at command line stuff.
What you think? Do you want to see linux distro on your phone? Hehe lets try it
Here is simple how to, I will try to boot Debian in our phone, if someone is interested, lets try
ok but, i dont understand what is the usage?
what do you get more than android?

Yes u are apsolute right. I got cm6, got cm7, and I want to try to get Debian because Debian for me more important and useful than the camera. And yes, I not have time to work with camera right now, on my part is enough that camera image is not backwards, I'm fixed this! Also, I see that it is not enough for you! Impatient are you? Yes I'm also! Welcome back goldenorb
I think no problem doing other OSes, it just needing time porting, also it's good .....
but right now.. maybe we should done one stable android for our htc mini first. cause the status is near final.
If you see I'm working with android! Each theme goes into ofttopic I do not know why. Friends, this is a topic related to Debian, do you understand? I agre with you but let's back to Debian, thanks!

video on the link look awesome! its a real computer!
but on htc photon, i doubt the screen is big enough to enjoy it...
+1 to the screensize. But at least, its possible
As I promised but minimalist without x system...I will try to upgrade
http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/4339/img0721du.jpg
wauuu perl, python, gcc...etc in photon...great...installed ssh server and started but could not access device from putty, hmmm maybe android blocking access
And first config screen http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/6245/img0724y.jpg not know how to apply OK hmm
wow awesome!
I think you need to connect usb keyboard and add usb driver for it
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App
maybe, but I got it from putty, instaled x system and other thing and tomorow will try something
We need to fix kernel console also for our port!
So as you all can tell....I'm new to this forum and to the Android platform as well. I just switched from my Iphone to the Galaxy S 4g and it has been great so far! After doing a little research myself I was able to root the phone via superoneclick. As I was reading further into the certain roms that are out and things I could do to further enhance my phone, I decided to get the new gingerbread 2.3.3. I used the program called Odin 1.7 to flash rom and besides from the known "rainbow screen issue and the low wifi signal" it is running smooth. I was just curious on what these programs called adb, cwm(clockwork mods I believe), and cyanogen7? are used for and how? I apologize for my noobness for asking these questions but I just feel like a kid in a candy store with no cash to spend hahah. If someone can redirect me to some links that can get me a general idea of how the Android software and mods work that would be great!!!
I remember signing up for these forums and not actually using them 'cause I was reading and trying to catch up with the vast amount of info available here... It was overwhelming to say the least.
ADB is the Android Debug Bridge. If you've ever used the command prompt, it's essentially the same. You type in commands and they get executed on the phone. I still argue that you get more power and flexibility through text-based programs, which ADB will let you use. You can use ADB if you use your phone to go into Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging (check the box next to it) then you can hook up your phone to the computer and run the ADB server on the computer. If you have superoneclick, it should've come with the ADB server as part of the tools.
CWM is a recovery mod, it sits on top of the phone's standard recovery program and gives you more power than the default one. You can make complete and partial backups of your phone's data in case you're flashing roms constantly and something goes wrong. You won't be able to use CWM with gingerbread at this moment since there's no support for it, but if you downgrade to Froyo, you'll be able to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099374
Cyanogen Mod isn't available for our phone yet, but it's a popular rom on the phones on which it is available.
Have fun!
EDIT:
You should probably bookmark the bible, lots of good references there:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
welcome to the forum! glad everything works well for you on the first time flashing gingerbread. you can read up on everything in the bible thread below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117554
check out the guides and it should give you a pretty good feel on everything.
Welcome to XDA!
First of all, kudos to the fact that you're brand new and you've already learned to ODIN gingerbread yourself.
ADB is a way of transferring and editing files on your phone.
It's very useful for editing system files, etc.
Not really necessary for you to know right now.
CWM, or ClockWorkMod, is an easy way for you to change your phone theme, apply a ROM (a combination of themes, or modifications), or flash tweaks. Right now, Gingerbread doesn't have CWM but it should be coming in the near future.
For the basics and a few tutorials, look for the GS4G bible, and also look at my tiny little guide, here.
dan, whenever people ask for places to get info, i'm going to give the bible as well as a link to your site too, if thats cool. you have a ton of info and it saved me when i first bricked. lol. (it was like 1230 or something and search was down)

You honestly don't really need ADB if you have Root Explorer, or QuickSSH'd (which I love).
If you do end up getting QuickSSH'd I'd be glad to help you use it.

If you don't wanna pay for QuickSSHd you can also get SSHDroid
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.sshdroid
You install the app on your phone, then you can get a program on your computer that supports SSH
Putty
WinSCP
Tunnelier
I prefer Putty for running commands and Tunnelier for transferring files. When you run SSHDroid, it'll explain to you how to use it.

welcome to xda!! glad your finding everything ok
I developed an AOSP for Nerds.
I make no changes at the GUI. I installed all unfortunately needed proprietary drivers and unlocked all hidden features like launcher rotation, camera icon, and 720p video. I installed Superuser, a terminal and BusyBox. I created the missing device nodes, so than you can mount external USB devices over USB On-The-Go. In the most cases "mount /mnt/usbdrive" should enough. You can play with /dev/ttyUSB0 and microcom, too.
If you miss the Google Apps, type simply install-gapps in the command line, and they will be installed.
You will be need fastboot to install the ROM:

This is a home server, so that the download will be really slow.

Hey man I would but it looks like it will take over 10 hrs to download.....that's just crazy! You need to find a better connection somewhere and upload to dropbox or something. Sorry
When I get home I will download it and when its done I will put it on media fire. I have a pretty good connection so it shouldn't take too long.

Ok, I'm going to expose my ignorance a bit here and ask for a little guidance in using fastboot to flash this ROM. Would I have to approach it as if it where a factory image?
Something like Flashall? Or do I specify a particular partition.
A quick little list for dolts like myself would be greatly appreciated. I'm not afraid to do research or stretch a bit, but I'm also a bit brickaphobe...a little 1...2...3...ect and I'll fire this bad boy up.
There goes my nerd street cred...oh well ;~}

Yes, you flash it like factory image. All data will be overwritten.
You can manually flash only the system partition with fastboot, but there is no guarantee that it work.

I compiled a complete a GNU command line environment for the Nexus 7 in the next Days.
glibc, gcc, g++, perl, python, mc, nano, vim and so on.
I will integrate it in my AOSP distribution as add-in, so that you can use your Nexus 7 for real programming.
