Android has been open-sourced as of today. You can go to http://source.android.com/ and download the full source to play around with the Android OS.
How will this affect the porting of android to other devices? (polaris please ;-) )
I think the main issue will be drivers for the hardware on other phones. Android could most likely be easily compiled for other processors, but allowing it to access hardware such as touchscreens, buttons, cellular hardware and other pieces will require some work at the driver level, which will most likely take time.
was it really needed to bump a 1 year old thread with something totally useless and random? I mean I can't even figure out what you are talking about and how it pertains to the original (and totally obvious to everyone by now) topic that Android was open source.

No, there was another post above bakgwailo's that had no reason to be there. Someone posted in about 15 different threads that were all about a year old or more, with random comments. I reported it, I'm sure others did too. And the posts were removed.
Then let's all get to a pertinent topic while we're talking about Android's open-source capability. Can someone run the method by us to modify the latest official builds to where we can keep root access?

I'm not sure if it is possible to create a higher capacity battery while still keeping the same dimensions of the original battery. If it was that simple, shouldn't HTC have done this themselves?

OK so to answer your question there is a way to change the battery say it becomes unusable, (Direct from T-Mobile tech support ) you can bring in the device to a service store and they can replacement it for you or upgrade it with an extended version that's made for it and there is a battery / case you can buy that fits over the device and doubles the life of the existing battery and protects the device at the same time.
Once I get mine in the mail this week (buy one get one free, I got two) I'll pull one apart and try to change out the sdcard to a 32gb (I guess it's gotta be cut on the left side to fit) and I'll report back with how I do.
But for the short answer, No and No with a side of lost topic abuse. Good luck...........

Actually it's been done already but I'm having a hard time finding the read through on it again but it shows you how to cut the SDCard ( along the side , it has to match the one taken from it.) so that it will fit the holder it locks into, it's not like the standard slot it actually has a plate over it.
If I find the breakdown again I'll post it but it actually doesn't look that hard to do but I think it didn't matter what kind of card it had to be as long as the casing was cut correctly.
I'm just not going to let this 32 gb SDCard go to waste even if I ruin one in the process I'll try anything once. I have pretty good hands though and because I'm use to soldering boards I think it shouldn't be too bad.
(If the information I got was correct too, you never know with the Net though.)
The information about the battery is valid though a tech at T-Mobile did say there is a battery that is made that will fit the case that you can upgrade it too but I didn't ask how much.

I'm very curious about this. I did a search last night, but couldn't find anything. Saw many interior pics but nothing w/ a card visible.
Any idea where you saw it?
The speeds from the internal storage are way faster than a typical micro sdhc, I'm not convinced that someone will find an sd card slot in there

You guys realize that you just look like security guards, right? No real power, but love to think you do by being sarcastic flamers. You're annoying for no other reason than to think you're somebody you're clearly not. You took time to be annoyed instead of continuing to scroll. Maybe if you left your parents' basement for an hour, you would realize how ridiculous you look to people with lives.
That being said I would love to see a port and will offer to add to the bounty. Thanks OP for getting this started.

Whether or not they are being like security guards, they are right about this going in general. As there is currently no actual development taking place, this is just a thread clogging the dev section. Until there is at least a preview build, this should be moved. Honest mistake by the op. Mod, please move or close the thread.

Please reaf forum rule 15 before posting anything
Development is for developers to release roms, kernels and mods

does anyone else see that the phone looks like it is a GS3 in a new shell (which i like very much)

Hey guys!
I am getting this weird error at boot logo-
"customerID error: contact dealer
Boot to suspend m/TCMD mode:dead:0000:00000000:000000cc" something like this.
It wasn't giving me any problems with kexec roms(This error was generated when I flashed a kexec rom). But when I FXZd back to ICS 4.0.4(due to some reason), it's giving me an illuminated screen nothing past that! Please help.
Edit- Did my homework and found out that it's the CID error? Also found the solution. You have to boot using BP tools. I love you XDA!! Again I'm gonna write steps here for noobs like me
1) Enter fast boot by pressing power+volume down
2) Press power button, then press power+volume up+volume down
3) navigate to bp tools and press volume up
Just realize, this does not fix the real issue, it just bypasses the check.
You most likely will have issues down the road with your provider.
The ONLY way to fix this is restore a backup of YOUR, CID image (each persons phone has a unique Customer ID).

Yes if that is who your network provider is, otherwise it is whoever gives you your service. This is sent to your provider with the IMEI when phone calls and data are requested. At some point your provider may stop allowing service from any phone that does not send back a valid CID.
No you can not put it back without a valid backup from YOUR phone, if you did not backup your phone, you may be screwed.

Yeah the A2 is super cheap here, and always has been. The thing is that this phone was released in way more than just the sea area. There is the US version, the SEARET/MEARET, the HK version, there were 2 euro versions, that somehow only released a very limited number of phones, it was like in Greece and the UK, and then they stopped shipping them after only 2 months of sales (only like a few hundred).
ALL versions except the MEARET/SEARET were locked down so tight that anything you tried to do to them would screw you. And yes everywhere but in India the CID does matter, so please read, as this has been posted many times, and your posting what you did does not make it a fact, but maybe only in your country/ phone version. Also the XDA site does not only cater to the India market, it is a world wide site, and like I said the A2 was released world wide.

Wow, what an ignorant little ****, you are.
There are 3 devs from India. Devesh, Ravikrang, and Turffe. ALL of the rest of the devs are from the US, and one is from Frankfurt, and even one from China.
alteredlikeness, Hashcode, lfaber06, lkrasner, rdavisct, timmytim, daavis, cogeary, myself, etc. are ALL from the US.
Wanggjhost is from China.
The thing is that devesh, is a great guy but he mostly ports ROMS from other phones, and does really do much "developing", so you can sort of throw him out, if you want to really count people who have actually done real development work on this phone.
So humm, sounds like there are so many developers from India on here (2), and I have not seen either one very recently, on here.
Just because there are a crapload of people, from India (right now) posting in the General and Q&A section asking the same questions without searching, over and over again does not make them devs.
It might help you, if you go back and read all over this forum so you know what has and has not been done. The answers to most of the questions have been answered so many times now, and I have given you a break since you just signed up on XDA a month ago, but as of this post that is done, as you insulted so many devs, who do this work all for free in their spare time, to better the phone and community, and you can not even show respect for those devs, and make statements so arrogantly when you do not have all the correct information, and were just too lazy to take a look at who your devs are, and where they are from.

And what I originally said is correct wherever, you live, and for, the OP's, OG issue, is not just an issue for those in India, and ALL of your responses never took that into account. So, that is why I said what I said! And that Is why I took offense, as your statement about ALL the devs here being from india is incorrect, and you need to think before making blanket statements like that!

@darth_nihar, please learn to respect senior devs, not that I'm pointing or anything...just giving a heads up.
We cool??

I never knew this was so serious! I mean it was mentioned in all OPs to back up CID, but I was ignorant and was like "Ah wth!! What could possibly go wrong??" But I know now what can.

You are lucky you live in an area where carriers are less strict about security like this. You will have to bypass thr issue with bmm on every boot and this will be a real pia. you may think about buying another a2 with a broken screen and exchange the innards with you screen ans case, then take a backup of the old and new, then try and do all the same rom installs and hacks again, and if you lose the CID, you can restore it since you made a backup with the new board/storage.
I know that seems like a lot of work, but it will make you whole and you can sell the broken phone so you are not out much money.
There is guide on how to replace the screen in the general section, that should get you everything you need to do this.
Good luck!

Sounds like a great idea! But I think I would rather buy a new phone down the road(nexus maybe). Because even used phones are overpriced here.
Lesson learnt..Pheww! Gotta start saving now

Read what you said, again!
And I Quote:
And what I originally said is correct wherever, you live, and for, the OP's, OG issue, is not just an issue for those in India, and ALL of your responses never took that into account. So, that is why I said what I said! And that Is why I took offense, as your statement about ALL the devs here being from india is incorrect, and you need to think before making blanket statements like that! As it is offensive to a good majority of hard work by others from around the world.
I get that the second post you made: Is just that, and not what I took offense to.
All I am trying to say is be careful what you say, as you are a bit of a "n00b" poster here, so read up on the history of this phone.
These are a few good posts, maybe a bit out of date, but you may get some insights from these, and gain a bit of understanding:

No it's cool. Just be careful what you post, and that people get your drift. Be glad it was me, and that was not really pissed, because I have had people banned for being complete pricks, not that you were. Others may not have been so gracious.
We are cool, though.
I would like to add that, though I am far from being a developer, I am also from the US. I live in Louisiana now, but I am originally from Texas, which if I remember correctly, Jim is too. If I am right about that then I can vouch for him that you did get off easy. There's a reason that the saying is " Don't mess with Texas ". We Texans are a no-nonsense group of people. Hahaha!
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

Wow, what an ignorant little ****, you are.
There are 3 devs from India. Devesh, Ravikrang, and Turffe. ALL of the rest of the devs are from the US, and one is from Frankfurt, and even one from China.
alteredlikeness, Hashcode, lfaber06, lkrasner, rdavisct, timmytim, daavis, cogeary, myself, etc. are ALL from the US.
Wanggjhost is from China.
The thing is that devesh, is a great guy but he mostly ports ROMS from other phones, and does really do much "developing", so you can sort of throw him out, if you want to really count people who have actually done real development work on this phone.
So humm, sounds like there are so many developers from India on here (2), and I have not seen either one very recently, on here.
Just because there are a crapload of people, from India (right now) posting in the General and Q&A section asking the same questions without searching, over and over again does not make them devs.

Ok now you seriously crossed your line.
* crapload of people, from India (right now)*
* so you can sort of throw him out*
Seriously? He has done way more than you ever did.
As for all the *devs* you mentioned "all from US" , only 2 of them do real development. Namely hash and altered. Rdavisct and daavis used to dev.. But that was long time ago.. So you can sort of throw out the rest (including and especially yourself). And you actually spoil their reputation. Considering how humble hash and altered are..
The one who actually brought a proper working aosp (including radio) based roms to this device was Wang. And I remember the way you posted in that thread.. All the skepticism.. The only thing you ever said before this was " I am working on ril" "discussing ril on XDA is not allowed"..
As for all that you boast about yourself, here is the truth. You are a big fake.. You have actually done no development for this device. The only thing was the Ubuntu on webtop hack. And I am not really sure how original it is..
The only things you say are
1. Some thing big is on the horizon/around the corner.
2. Give credit.
3. Cannot be done.
Here is one more thing. On the a2 you always said the bl is locked so you cannot do anything. I haven't seen you do anything for the s3.. That has an unlock able bl I guess..
"and I have not seen either one very recently, on here."
Really? I come here and post pretty much every day..
Oh and if there is something you are good at, that's starting flamewars. Since you no longer have the phone any more and posted your "goodbye" thread, here is a sincere request..
PLEASE LEAVE!
Nothing worthwhile has come from you.
Honestly, you are the reason this device's development was hampered.. Not the locked bl..
BTW, here are a few worthy things devesh has done.
1. Get hash, dtrail, altered and me in contact and hence get things moving. He is half the reason we have "official" cm today. It's not you.
2. He is the whole reason we have JBX. Dtrail1 doesn't own an a2..
And at the one who posted the other post, here is something you need to keep in mind.
There are Ppl from all over the world with different nationalities, gender, race, religion and everything else. So DONT POST ANYTHING ABOUT ANY OF THOSE MENTIONED.
P. S. And Ppl from any other nation, nothing personal. If I have hurt any of you in the above rant, my sincere apologies. I have respect for all nations.
Good bye.
