Hmm i do wonder why it'sso hard, it's the same os, same hardware??
Those apps use new APIs, most notably the Renderscript API which is only available in Honeycomb onwards.
It's just like asking for the complete Sense/TW experience on devices that don't have it. There's just too many things to port, and it might not even actually be possible.

Just wondering if this helps creating a ROM for the EVO.

there is already a honeycomb for evo rom.
Its based of the sdk preveiw.
Mm yeah another port my best will be it wont work nicely on the Evo, we don't even have official (2.3 ) yet but at least Cynogen mod got it working but honeycomb is supposed to be for tablets how is it going to help the Evo, I got not idea, this is the only complaint about andoid(fragmentation )

im wondering if someone can work in the Gtalk video chat into lets say a custom rom... perhapps a mod of some sort. a cyan mod... maybe a cyanogenmod..... ha, sorry had to,
that would be sweet tho
Though a Honeycomb ROM for the EVO may develop over time, I doubt I will end up using it as it is built for tablets.
Also it is a part of my understanding that it is somewhat graphically intensive, which leads me to believe that performance on a Honeycomb ROM will be limited if applied to a phone without Tegra 2.
That is just what I believe however.
While our devs are working hard to a port a honeycomb rom , did anyone get a chance to port any tablet optimized apps to use the big screen. I am excited as the Adam mail'd and sniffer app are pretty good and some xoom app ports will be amazing

No, (most of) the new apps use frameworks that only exist in Android 3.0 (Fragments, new animation APIs, etc), and therefore will not work without a ROM based on 3.0
Most of the apps .apk's have been available for a few weeks, but are of little use without 3.0

Sorry, looks like no luck. Read this from a lot of different people smarter than I.
Ohh thats bad. Anyway its only a matter of time till we get a 3.0 rom so its not a heartbreak
Is there any possibility to get Google Body working on android 2.3?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.apps.body&feature=top-free
This is a pretty cool app, unfortunately it wont let me install it
i think it's one of those that only works in Honeycomb
yes cant install

If you look on the right column it says "REQUIRES ANDROID:
3.0 and up" I too was excited to try this. I believe it's for showing off the new Honeycomb renderscript.
I'm sure some one will eventually make it work on 2.3.3
unless we all get an early release of 3.0
I think this is a bit of a show-off app for tablets really. I'm sure we'll have it when CM8 comes along
It was taken down......what was it?

No, It needs the Honeycomb framework and possible Tegra2.
how come there aren't alot of tablet apps? How difficult is it to upscale or modify the app to be tablet native? (not being sarcastic)

Not all the devs have xooms yet,
Wait till IO and we will see a bunch of new and existing apps for honeycomb
If you download Spare Parts and disable compatibility mode it will full scale the apps that are fixed to phone dimensions
Most of the time, its not as simple as the developer getting a new SDK and rebuilding with it. New SDK's cause new bugs and new instabilities.
They have to remake all new art work for larger screens and high resolutions so that takes time.
And the Android Tablets aren't exactly "readily available" like Android phones are. Guys who are coding at home on weekends may not have the cash to pick one up right now. (That accounts for a lot of apps) Big companies also want to see how the market reacts to tablets before they invest in development of software for one when the entire market could flop (Doubtful, but not without its risk).
I'm an android developer in my day job and I promise you, if you want apps that really take advantage of honeycomb they have to be rebuilt from the ground up in the interface department at least. There are some exceptions but on the whole...
Be patient and the updates will come.
I'm even working on a couple of apps at home specially for the XOOM.

Since this is the first tablet that dropped with Honeycomb, it might be a bit for everyone to catch up. The same thing happened when Windows computers went from XP to Win 7 OS. It took a bit for the software developers to remake newer versions.
Its strange that we dont even see support (right now) for big companies like facebook or twitter. or even some other google apps dont have that support yet.

I'm guessing Google hasn't given them the AOSP before the public? Or maybe there wasn't any incentive for them to develop an app for something they didn't think would have the market share.
I remember when I first got my HTC Dream a couple of years ago, that there wasn't even a Facebook app out yet for it (it was still on stock Donut ROM from Rogers).

10.1 inches of web browser not reason enough not to call this a "mobile"?
I sure wouldn't write an app for something already fully functional.

True, a lot of these sites work just fine with the browser (Stock, Dolphin). One thing that is a little bit off topic is the ability to hide the status bar (or go fullscreen with the browser) so we can really get the 10.1 inches rather then the 8 or so that we get with everything on the screen.

It worked! Thanks
i did start this thread in the general section when i had fewer than 10 posts, so sorry about the repost.
i have been wondering if any work has been done porting aosp to the desire s or if anyone could point me to the proper tutorials on how to do it, though i will have little time to work on it during the next 3 months or so.
cheers

it would indeed seem that way. just pulled the cm sources to see if adding a new device wasn't too hard a task and it seems there already has been some work done towards porting it to the saga (aka desire s). finally some good news
Hope the port for Saga comes soon. Really look forward to getting rid of Sense.

Hmm... It is pretty great piece of hardware but Sense is great IMO (and no, I'm not an HTC employee )

NexuS has pretty same hardware. Even better cam..
I sold NexuS because I missed some of the sense things:
the stock dialer has NO t9 search - most dialer from market are crap or slow or somehow frickled on the stock dialer. Even old nokia do have a quick search option...
Stock contacts are ugly.
GAL (global adress list for exchange server) is NOT implemented in android 2.x - only in 3.0; but it's implemented since sense1 (hero)
CM had some issues - espacially with the notification bar/speed settings - on 2.3 - the new sense 3.0 lockscreen and notification bar are very good - so no need for CM at the moment - for _me_
So I deleted most of sense.apk from /system on my DesireS (all widgets, all "htc", like route66, amazon, stockexchange..) and do use adw-launcher instead of rosie (don't delete it cause is needed for lockscreen settings!) - but do have integrated company exchange and a good biult in dialer, cool contacts (with flickr and fb content) and nice lockscreen..

Sense is THE BEST ANDROID UI, EVAR. Don't know why people wanna "DE-SENSE" their phones. I'm gonna flash CM7 to see what the fuss is about , but sense 3.0 first Hopefully, the new official version of CM7 will come for DS too. I'd rather let the ports pass on...........
to each their own. i'm still waiting to see someone make a WebOS like UI for android ^^

In my case I obviously liked the phone much enough to neglect my dislike towards Sense
I don't complain about having Sense and can live with it but would prefer to run clean Android build when/if it becomes available.

I get the sarcasm, but well, imo WebOS is a really good os. It's too new and has veeeeerrry less apps. In abou 1-2 years maybe, it'll become as good as android is today.

had there been better WebOS devices on the market, i would probably have bought one of those instead. i've been told that app development is a lot easier than on any other platform. and as soon as i get some time, i might just look into writing apps for android.

There's plenty of HTC phones out there that are running custom ROMs and customised user interfaces that don't rely on Sense. It may be the "out of the box experience" as far as most HTC phones are concerned, but isn't that what all THIS (ie these forums) is about - customisations, and thinking "out of the box"? (no pun intended, haha).
If we all concentrated on Sense and variations on that theme then this community would be a much poorer one.
Peace
sense ftw!
Well, i love sense, but i am porting the cm7 just so people have the choose, and also to make the development on this device more alive
But personally, Sense is the thing!
