Can this be done with HTC phones?

I like the concept. It's about time, we can get a picture of our own phone/mp3 player on the screen, color included. Itunes has only done that for about 4 versions now.
Here is the link to the developer kit: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/DeviceExperience/Dev-Kit.mspx
Which I assume will never get utilized by phone manufacturers, since Microsoft is leaving it up to them. Maybe for the newest ones.
Nice article about it: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2354491,00.asp
If there is a place likely to develop these custom .xml profiles before waiting for the phone companies to do it, XDA seems like the place.
Any takers on cooking these profiles up? 1 Vote for the Tilt.

I've gone through a few phones recently and many of them already do this in WMDC but I suspect you need a manufacturer that can be bothered. In fact, I remember my tosh g900 doing this a couple of years ago.

Which Android Bootloader?

Okay chaps and chappesss I am gearing up for my foray into the Android dual-boot wilderness and trying to get stuff sorted.
Whilst still trying to finalise the Android build I wish to use I wanted to clarify BootLoader.
I know of:
-JMZ (the free v4 one!)
-Exceller
-mkskip's
I know with the JMZ I can also use to install Android on first use.
Do the other 2 do that as well?
Does any one offer an advantage in terms of battery life over the other 2 (in the way they load android relative to extent of WinMo still active underneath - if you get what I mean?)
Any major reasons or other features to suggest one over the other?
I like the idea of having a WinMo button to load into Android as per mksip rather than having to power-off and select on start-up (don't know if Exceller does that as well though )
Any others I should consider instead?
Thanks

this is my favorite one

What do you think about myApp? any suggestions to improve it and get more downloads?

Is just 1 month old and i want to believe is a good app, but is getting only around 15-35 downloads per-day, with a retention rate of around 80 users (they tend to uninstall it after 3 days) what can I do to save this project? Any suggestions about how to improve this rates? or should i move to another new proyect and leave this one?

Thank you very much
Here is theLink: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vilaris.poposu&hl=en

Any idea is very Welcome

Is it a virtual pet game?
If yes , it looks better than you know , Pou.
It's just not famous enough IMO
Just my two cents. I do not know alot about publishing an app to the store but I do know as a consumer
Alot of good games that i randomly found out was getting buried because there's simply too much apps on Google Play and Apple App Store
EDIT : Oops did not reload so I did not see the link on first post
Would try it out and recommend to my little sister since she seems to like virtual pet alot

It's not malicious if that's what you're wondering.
Internally there are *dogfood* and *fishfood* versions of some apps, so you can *dogfood* (verb) and *fishfood* them respectively.
Dogfooding is using an app or feature shortly before it's publically released. The term *dogfood* comes from the expression ["eating your own dogfood"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food).
Fishfooding is using an app or feature really early in its development before it's even really finished.
The term *fishfood* actually comes from the Google+ team inside of Google. Google+ was internally codenamed Emerald Sea. During its early development, it wasn't finished enough to be considered dogfoodable, so they called it fishfood. Because Emerald *Sea*.

So google sees people using very early unreleased apps as fish, and people using "beta" apps as dogs, interesting.
So people using the actual releases must be apes. Good to know. Google is absolutely correct, most modern humans are lab rats following their one and only true purpose, being a lab rat.
Thanks anyway.
