I'm sorry, what?? How so? How is this any different than the people who wanted, *and got*, Android ported to their WinMo 6 devices (HD2, Vogue, Touch Pro 1 & 2 etc.)? Those people got their whopper, took them over to McDonald's, took them inside and ate them there

the point is Android is open source while WP is not

Yes thank you I understand that. Winmo 6 and earlier were not open source either. It didn't keep people from doing all kinds of amazing stuff with it. I know that as of now there's no real way for people to get wp7 onto android phones but it doesnt mean it won't or can't ever happen. Personally, I don't really care as I think it kinda blows anyways but I'm all for people hacking whoppers into McD's restaurants.

The "taking my Whopper to McD's to eat it" analogy is kind of weak. 99.9% of employees don't care if you bring in dog crap and eat it. They have other things to worry about.

@bast525
in the title it says official WP7.

Auto tune app

So after searching, and doing a lot of research I still haven't found a decent auto tuning application. Were are the devs at?? Im willing to pay, and im sure there are plenty of more people who are. With the release of the "I am t-pain" app on the iphone, android hasn't been able to keep up. I love the **** out of my evo, but I feel like there should be more in the app market. Theres no good drum apps, no auto tune, no good keyboard/synth apps, no recording apps. Why are we slacking so hard here. What the hell do we need to do to get this going and produce apps people want that aren't pointless. Please, lets shed some light on this!

Thank you, even if they made an app that could port iphone apps that would be amazing. Or even make apps on the iphone compatible with bump, cause I noticed you cant put apps in bump on the iphone like you can with droid. Maybe something along these lines would be better and cut the hassle of making apps for different platforms, and at the same time everyone can be happy.

Anyway, I feel your pain. There really aren't any really nice music apps for android. I use beat maker on my ipod touch and its damn near a production center, unfortunately we just don't have the developer support. Not sure w are gonna get any support any time soon. They can't even pay developers to jump ship and develop for android
Hahaha I love all the hate I'm getting for saying something I would like to see. Feels like I'm back in high school again with all the little immature kids.

As someone who's actually tried to get something like I Am T-Pain working on Android, I can tell you the reason you don't see more music apps like the ones Smule does for iPhone is due to the relative lack of any sort of low latency audio API in Android. See here for more information: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3434
I just found it amazing you said Android been behind the curve ever since the t pain app for iPhone, as if that's THE app that defines how good an OS is. Wow. Just as you said its a time waster, cool, but ultimately useless, and therefore I'm sure its not a priority right now.
Would be fun to play with though, all I have is my 1g ipod touch so I never got to mess around with it. Just not somethin I'm hurting for
Why so much hate in this topic? The guy is looking for a neat app on the apps discussion board. Big ****ing deal. If you don't like it, then don't even post and save everyone else the time of finding out what a baby you are.

iOS on android?

well i have the inspire im currently running MIUI on here since its pretty similar to iOS but im really wanting to just be able to run iOS on it...is there not some way to do it like the iphone does with android?
before anyone posts and says "why would you want to do that" go ahead and stop yourself i just want to iphone seems to be a simpler system and has better games..so if anyone knos how to go about doing this let me kno
This should be posted in general and will lead to flaming even if that isn't your intent.

it was posted here because its about the rom? i might still be wrong though...and its not really my fault if people start flaming about wanting iOS on an android.
People won't start flaming because they want it, it'll be just the opposite. It's a question about a rom that isn't in development and doesn't exist It belongs in general.

If the Inspire was like an iphone I would have never bought one !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
Flames aside, most of iOS isn't open source. It's core, Darwin, is but it's ARM port is not. Really, it'd be re-inventing the wheel just to have a BSD-based base instead of a Linux one that already works.
There currently is no way, and probably never will be.
And there's a reason they managed to run Android on an iPhone and no one's tried to run iOS on an Android phone........
Besides, don't you think MIUI beats the pants off iOS? IMO, MIUI says "Hey iPhone. Check this out."

In addition to extremely difficult and/or painstaking, there are legal ramifications to worry about. Apple has a habit of ripping the heads off of people who infringe on their patents/copyrights. Don't think that this board isn't monitored in one way or another. I doubt anyone would want to risk legal action to make a ROM that probably wouldn't be of much interest to the Android community as a whole.
I love Android over iOS for everything, except the lack of 3D games =(.
I would love to have Ace Combat, Metal Gear Solid, etc. on my phone... :/.

Sony to release dual screen android tablet...guess we might be wrong about the echo..

Just as the article mentions, its like the echo, now i personally dont like it as a phone but a tablet...idk tbh now the whole concept really looks like a 3ds lol, you guys think this thing will sell? What will be the major selling factor? hardware? bootloader? updates?
http://www.androidcentral.com/sony-unveils-s1-and-s2-dual-screen-android-tablets
Maybe if the echo wasn't so God damn ugly and had better hardware.. people would buy it
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.

In before this thread derails.
Honestly right now the iPad looks more appealing than any Android OS tablet. I think Android needs to work on polishing Android for tablets a bit more.
That Sony dual screen is just atrocious.

Just report the thread at the top right hand corner to see it go away. I feel like I shouldn't visit Android Central on a daily basis because I can find all the articles on the XDA Evo section.
I don't doubt that this dual screen idea could be more of a future norm, so long as it is done right. Have gotten some hands on time with the Echo and while you sort of get the idea, it just really seems tacky. At least I came away from the Echo with that feeling. I'm more interested in dual screen displays than 3D as well.
So long as it's done right, all around.

Based on your logic common citizens shouldn't try to stop little old ladies from getting mugged, unless they are police officers. Your logic shows a small picture view.

If they'd build this so that there's a flush (seemless) connection between the screens I'd seriously consider these ....as it is their just.... stupid.
Keep the thread on subject. I am moving it to General as it does not belong in the EVO section.
The concept is nice, however I just cant get over the gap in the middle between the two screens, it really ruins the experience for me. Now if they do it RIGHT and allow true multitasking between each window this will be a good competitor; the screens are 5.5 inches so that's just big enough to allow full featured browsing/operation on each screen.

Well, we have to consider many things.
First and most importantly, Google just acquired Motorola's mobile phones division for $12.5 billion. That means that they are gonna be a major hardware manufacturer and the phones that they make will probably be able to handle Android better than the rest of the competition.
Also, don't forget that 2011 is the year of the rabbit. The rabbit is a swift little creature and it doesn't like to get caught.
If we compare cyanogemod to the rabbit, and then compare that to google's purchase of Moto's mobile division, then we can clearly see that there's no connection between any of these things.
So long story short, yes, we still don't know. We're all just sitting tight.
sad part is once they get cm7 they will want something else lol
I'm hoping for a MIUI released right after that

[Q] Do the forum owners hate iDevices?

So much that you quarantine it to an inactive iphone dev forums? Apple should just be treated as a normal phone brand. Im not ranting or whatevs but why do you really need to create a separate site for it?

iThink (see what I did there? ) it's more to do with the fact that XDA is a 'Windows Phone and Android' development site, plus the iPhone is a completely different device to everything else. You can't flash custom ROMs on it or anything like that, all you can do is jailbreak it (as far as I know).

Most popular phones include their sections because development is different between them. And, as you can see, IOS has it's own section just like android, wp7 and the others. So I don't see any hate at all, just logically organised forums...

If I could be so blunt and I don't mean it in a derogatory way, iPhones are not really a smartphone,they are smart to the masses who feel they have to fit in and they are special to the people who make them I suppose. A completely overated device that only lets you do what the makers want you to do, it's a fashion accessory and nothing else.
Every phone listed on this site can do exactly the same and better and the makers believe in letting the consumer decide how they want their phone that they've paid for to behave,power to the people.
IPhones=power to noone except the "brand".

Seriously though, the 'I' devices have their own specific site and their own dedicated sites, why duplicate here? XDA roots are windows mobile and more recently droid and winphone
