[Idea] PCSX4droid ? Anyone care to try? - Android Apps and Games

Its got alot more features then the psx4droid that's out now, and its open-source, if I had any idea where to start I would try to port it myself hence the request here..
Anyone up for the challenge? It's compatible with more games and got a lot of tweaks / fixes already worked out in both the original version, the reloaded and df version (all individual projects open-source)

Has anyone been able to get an HD Mini ROM DUMP?

Hey,
I know the phone was announced today officially, but has anyone been able to get a ROM Dump from the new HD Mini?
It features WM 6.5.3, and it has HTC OEM Apps, built for the new platform, which I bet would be very useful in resolving some of the compatibility and stability issues, we seem to encounter with the newer builds.
Thanks!

[Q] Playstation Emulator?

Hi Guys,
I bought a TF101 because I was waiting for a TF201 to come out. I played with it for a few days and returned it.
Since there is no word of when TF201 will come to Canada I'm thinking about just going with the TF101.
I had installed FPse and got the ROM for Tony Hawk 2. It was incredibly laggy, and definitely unplayable. I'm just wondering if anyone is using a playstation one emulator, and what their experiences with it are on the TF101. Let me know, thanks!
Our friends over at transformerforums highly recommend PSX4Droid in version 3.0.7, which is free and even open source, but you will not find it on the market (only a high-prized copy I think). The original developer has stopped hosting it as well. I believe, he actually abandoned Android completely due to some struggle with google concerning his publishing on the market. But do some google search, I already found version 3.0.5 which I used on my Desire HD to download on a site called emucr.com.
Interesting, thanks for the info. I'll have to check it out.

DUAL Boot Android and ios5

Hi Friends,
Have anybody tried to dual boot android with ios5. It will be great if someone can do this.
While searching came across this
http://code.google.com/p/bootdroid
http://bootdroid.blogspot.in/
Any solutions?
I don't think that's possible.

You can't run iOS as a rom because its closed source. It would be impossible to port because all the libs are different even though its based off linux
IOS is based off of Mac OSX which is based off of *Unix*

so the info on the links is just bull**** ?
BUT: it is possible to have your android phone "transformed" to look like ios with miui rom and iphone theme.
that still doesnt give access to the appstore but its as near as we can get to ios looks
Got none of the required devices I would have tried otherwise :/
i have a desire hd but i dont really think this is legit.. probably just some guy hunting payperclicks
This will never be possible. IPhone and android phones havedifferent processor architecture.

It IS possible to dual boot an iPhone with Android and iOS, the project is called iDroid (idroidproject[.]org) but some of the iPhone jail breakers (like @chronic) are creating a linux-based OS (called Magenta) that replicates iPhone OS 1.0, my source says that it currently runs on ARM7 hardware
Magenta is an implementation of Darwin/BSD on top of the Linux kernel. It is made up of a number of kernel and userland components that work together. It is fully binary compatible with iPhone OS 5.0 (as in, it uses the same binary format).

The final goal is probably recreating the iPhone OS 1.0 stack. I think this is a pretty feasible goal, considering the fact that there are so many open source libs that can be used to replace the proprietary libs used by Apple. Just as an example:
* CoreGraphics -> Cairo
-> FreeType
-> libpng/jpg
* Celestial -> Various open source media decoding libs.
* UIKit -> Chamelleon

Or this for the source code: ht.tp://crna[.]cc/magenta_source.html
The original ios firmware? ? I think its cool, hope they develop for the new ios though. Number one was pretty lame

I think so, they say the aim is to run iOS
The project does not wish to build a platform that can run Appleā€™s App Store apps; it appears to just aim at running iOS.

As you can see it isn't for running App Store apps, but if it has root access like a rooted android, then you can just put any app on the device..
Like a Cydia app (for the ones who don't know: Cydia is an App Store that you get when you jailbreak your iPhone)
Dual boot iOS and Android. Hm... why not to try Linux instead? iOS is not flexible as Android and what's the point of it? Also we can start porting Windows 8 and other stuff.

iOS 5 is designed to run only on apple's specified hardware design. It is next to impossible to have apple software running on android hardware, but there have been reports of android running on apple hardware. This all involves a lot of lib tweaking, proper execution of binaries, andjust plain coding genius.

Look at post #9 It IS possible if someone tries to get it on an android with a bit porting of the Magenta-project. And yes it is possible to run android on iPhone (post #9 as well) it is called iDroid (as mentioned in post #9)
here is the source code from cronic, who is an apple dev, who is working on porting it for us, http://crna.cc/ , if any dev is wishing to finish it off with his android intel
why doenst just buy an iPhone ?

That is exactly what's said in post 9! Don't people read the whole topic, or do you just post blindly and hope that someone before you didn't post that ?? Sorry for getting off-topic

For those asking "why?", I found this thread because I would like an Android tablet, but I'm worried I'll want the latest app or game and it will be only on iOS for too long before going to Android. I'd like the best of both worlds, someday (perhaps when iDroid is out of alpha).

If you want the best of both worlds, let me give you some suggestions:
Buy a jailbreak-able iPhone (4S or 4 recommended) jailbreak it on iOS 5.1.1 (if that's the current OS) and then with Cydia you can customize your iPhone as much as you want.
Buy both of them (which I have done) and enjoy
But do not expect iDroid to be stable anytime soon, for now..
That was a bit off-topic, sorry, but I hope this helps!

[Q] How do xda developers port apps and roms?

Almost all custom roms I've seen are made by xda developers, and I'm always curious about how they did that. For example, I own a HTC J one,which doesn't have many roms,then I try to find some tutorials about how to port roms. All I've found are like replcaing some files only. But there're already sense 6.0 port for htc one m7, which is a source closed app as far as I know. So how do they do this job generally? By reverse engineering?

Backporting Android L to Nexus 7 2012?

Ive searched far and wide and havent seen anything on this yet. I know how to port on similiar os's, but heard the Android L is different.
So my questions are these:
Besides making sure proper files are pulled, the build prop lines changed and the norm for doing porting, what else should I be paying attention to and what else should be included?
Will I be able to use the N5 modded kernel or will i have to remod or should I mod existing N7 2012 kernel?
If i can port this, will i be able to run this through MultiROM?
Will i have to mod/patch apps to work with ROM or do I have to develop/get developed aps?
Sorry for the questions, I just haven't seen too much technical info yet.
