Hi all dear androidists.
I don't know if you all know the Samsung H1, but if someone still don't know, there's is a android porting project on it with real good results and it's commonly called H1DROID.
Now there some other little precisionist things to fix.
If someone is interested, take a look here:
http://samsungi8320.freeforums.org/h1droid-f2.html
I guess lot of people already know it, but i guess too that XDA page is visited and used daily by android experts, so, why don't make a general improvement of H1DROID and after make a little section on the page of xda-developers?
The Samsung M1, the "little brother" of H1 can be nice to port to android but no one worked seriously on this, why don't ?
Bye!

Hi all, just as a matter of curiosity, why hasnt the samsung sgh i780 been added to the forums (i know there are people who have added stuff for the i780 here - there just isnt a link from the main page to a forum specifically for the i789)?
I know the forums are generally htc/treo targeted but the i780 is a windows mobile based device which out weighs the tytan 2 in many respects and performs well as a pda/ppc, surely it would be of interest to many to see what rom updates etc you guys could come up with for this great device from the first page?
I am a wizard owner and am upgrading to the i780 - hence the "mandatory" blowing of its horn. I would love to see what you guys come up with as i never make a move on my wizard without first reading up on it here, it would be a pity to start tinckering with the i780 without first cross referencing here on XDA
This is a forum for htc devices only, people have asked for i780 forum before also, but as i said this forum is just for htc devices. You have to look somewhere else for samsung i780 forum (check my signature).
Hmmm... i always thought it was more for windows mobile devices as opposed to focusing on a single brand of phone, cant complain though - everything here is still awesome.
Thanks Sammy, i think this is the first reply i have ever gotten on xda, hence mu low post count . Im checking out your sig now. Thanks again
hmmm, windows mobile is becoming a standard on alot of devices now. maybe they should consider adding a section for other brands since everyone ends up here on this site anyway.
Not to mention at the moment other brands have posts and threads all over the show making it all very messy.
They can simply add a section and call it : Non HTC brands ... will certainly keep the forum neater.
Maybe someone should make a poll and put some pressure on the guys to do it ?
Well, even though i had given up the query i am still inclined to feel that there isnt any reason phones like the i780 arent a featured device.

Fair enough, but no explanation as to why XDA describes itself as
XDA said:
Community of XDA developers for programming and modding of PDA Cellphone hybrids
Click to expand...

Doesnt make much sense, it almost implies that htc, palm and treo are the "only" true hybrids... Dont know about anyone else but my i780 whips most of em and makes for a pretty realistic hybrid of phone and pda.
Such as it is though, i am still very appreciative of the people on xda, a lot of time and effort goes into their work - for htc's and whatever else the mobile world pumps out. So essentially if they dont want to waver from pure htc then who am i to argue. Hence i suggested and dropped it.
- by the by, any admins reading this... how do i change my screen name?
yes i would agree with a general samsung phone as there are a few of us here among the HTC user. btw HTC made the hardware for the Palm treo 750 that is why there is a forum for it here.
Along the same lines, Samsung is responsible for the processors in most htc devices.
Im glad someone agrees with me though, even a general "click here for samsung stuff" would be great.
I have a htc like you but I would not be against the idea of a section for other brands
If xda-developers admins dont want to add non HTC devices then how about this: Create brand new site that will host a forum for all these devices. Then just ask the admin to add one dummy category that will guide all non HTC users to the unofficial xda-developers forum.
The problem is there are too many other forums. For example modaco – there are categories for different devices but ROM cookers keeps releasing on xda-devs. I like they are relesing it here but sometimes it's hard to find among all the HTC topics.

Lol... yeah, i have checked out modaco a few times but the reality of it is that they are just adding links through to xda. Doesn't really help the cause. The thing that makes a forum like this so great is that there are so many dedicated developers "HERE" - why would they want to go somewhere else It is weird however that the developers are obviously interested in developing for other hybrids, so why haven't any of them posed the question? surely its disappointing to see your hard work disappear under tons of "i need a great headset" and "my phone got wet" posts?
Well, i made a poll on weither or not we should have a non HTC section, please go cast your vote there. this way Admin can actually see how many of us there are that use other brands and might change their minds ...

We have been trying for ages to get them to do this, it is not going to happen. Trust me.
Thanks for trying though.

I guess we should be happy they dont delete the thousands of posts in Samsung/HP/Dell/Acer/... cooked ROM threads.
Hi,
I'm thinking in buying the new samsung jet but it doesn't come with android, instead samsung choose touchwiz2.0.
It came to my knowledge that samsung is releasing or has already release the Samsung Galaxy (i think that's the name) with the number i7500, this one coming with android.
Knowing that there are same builds and guessing that this phones pretty much look alike... could anyone tell me if there can/will be (or if it exists) a build for Samsung Jet that allows android in it?
Thank you for the time

Welcome to forums
As this is an HTC devices forum only, I´m not sure that you´ll get too much information.
However good luck,
thank you,
i know that... but I've found little information about samsung builds and a friend of mine spoke highly of this forum so i though I'd give it a go.
Can you refer me a more adequate forum?
thank you
timmas
after being here... for a few good months, and having an xperia, and other devices.
i really started to like the idea of developing android, since im a Computer engineer i like this kind of things so my question is
how hard are the xperia and the samsung galaxy s captivate to develop?
how saturated are those devices and do you recomend them to develop?
also i want to go to develop custom roms and kenerls and suchs things
what i should know to start or any recomendation are welcome
thanks
With 183 posts you should know how to use the search feature.
There is a thread on the same forum page as your thread that already deals with this question.
It sort of gets asked every week.

Just check the xperia or galaxy forums, see for yourself.
No one knows how good your ROM will be, if its good people will use it.
I don't think there are phones to recommend for making ROMs...
...there is no money if you mean that, you basicly just need a phone with an unlocked bootloader. In that case the captivate should do.
Hi this may have been asked before but i have searched and searched and can't find an answer.
I have a Samsung galaxy 3, i have launcher 7 on it but was wanting to know if a WP7 rom is available? its a good spec phone so i am hoping it is possible to get a wp7 rom onto it.
any help or advice would be great.
P.s my phone has android 2.2 just incase someone needs to know.
Cheers

No, not to mention WP7 isn't open sourced, so, while following the rules here exactly, this shouldn't even be allowed to be distributed. Kind of how all the pirating with Windows Phone on HD2 is ignored, but hey, the rules bend when it's convenient...
But to answer your original question, as far as I know, not possible.
thanks mate. aye thought it might be bordering on the rules being broken lol just really starting to hate android but i love the phone and wp. but thanks again mate!
Lol, you never know though, the guys here are magical, honestly, if it exists, it would be in that phone's section.

my name is dale,
sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum, ive been looking for a newby forum and wanted to introduce myself however its friday and im starting to get tipsy! this site has helped me upgrade my battery pack, and internal memory on my htc hd7, and even replace my screen! i just wanted to say thank you and contribute where possible. ive been looking at wp8 and think its awesome! considering my 3 year old wp7 keeps up with quite a few modern phones with its mods i cant wait to see what the wp8 does. i just wanted to say THANK YOU XDA! no one will even try to argue with me about phones anymore... they only know how to buy them.
i read on a random thread while looking for the newby forum that i can take 10 questions that will show m not a spammer, would anyone mind helping me out with that? this site is HUGE! and also does anyone know of a screachingly fast single core processor/motherboard that will fit my phone? its about due for an upgrade too! or if someone has found a twin core+ that will work with windows 7 devices i'm open for ideas! no unlocking though, im not willing to deal with all of the glitches that come with that.
thanks,
dale
