I would totally donate some cash if someone could port this application for android ill even reimburse the app download fee
http://na.aiononline.com/exchange/
It may not seem like much to most of you other guys here but quite a few of us in the aion community would LOVE to have this ported for Android.
**EDIT**
as a matter of fact i have downloaded the app myself to my pc so if someone could port this app. I also have an idea for us both to be able to help each other out with this project as well. Message me for the details and any other questions you may have.
After speaking with some of you it has become readily apparent that while many people are comfortable waiting for a full android release for the HP Touchpad, there are also quite a few people out there that do not want to switch to a full android OS but simply wish they could have access to the vast app collection that android has to offer.
For these people I offer a solution.
Palmdroid
The Palmdroid project is going to be an ongoing development project to bring a Dalvik like port to the Palm/HP WebOS operating system.
The goals of this project are as follows:
1) to offer a Dalvik port to WebOS that allows for android app emulation as if they were native WebOS apps much like Alien Dalvik on the nokia n900 or the app emulator of the blackberry playbook
2) Share useful information throughout development with the Touchdroid team as to help them reach their end goals and avoid conflicting and overlapping work as well as to foster collaboration and new ideas to speed the project along.
3)If possible (either worked into the project from the start or through later additions) provide the emulator as a download through the WebOS homebrew App catalog.
Now with the goals outlined I'll move on to how this is going to get going and what needs to happen next.
1) First and foremost... I need volunteer developers. If you have experience with Dalvik, WebOS development, Android development, UI development, C++, Java, Etc. I would like you to PM me with details regarding what you can help with. I have some java and C++ experience as well as a ton of web dev and project management experience but with alot of this I am learning as I go and if this is going to get done with any sort of speed I NEED your help.
2) I will be setting up communication channels for the dev team to discuss what needs to be done, share work, etc.
3) I will be setting up a web page (an extension off of my own since I can't finance purchasing another hosting account or domain name right now) where there will be regular updates on the status of the project as well as a section for the dev team as a repository for project related research, source code bits, group status reports etc.
Until the aforementioned steps are met this thread will be used to offer info, updates, and discussion related to development of Palmdroid.
I hope to have the support of the community here as we move ahead... i know I am new around here but I am very passionate about making this happen.
WebOS is a great operating system... and Android has some amazing apps... won't it be an amazing world when you can have both!

PS. this should probably have been in the development section but apparently I can't post there because I am to new here so forgive me. If a Mod would like to move it and give me posting abilities that would be fine.
I subscribed to this thread even tho I have no WebOS devices at all. But I'm intersted in this project's work (I'm not a developer just a "hacker") as the same idea was proposed in the Bada section, too. It seems quite a lot of work to do this, as it's not enough to port dalvik itself, a big chunk of android has to be ported also to make it work. But it's an interesting project!
Agree! I don't want the entire Android OS ... All I want is the apps running on a webos emulator.
Great! Thanks! I'll be watching closely!

while I probably cannot be of use for the development, I can be helpful for some other things. For instance, I am in the process of creating a logo for the project and also searching for possible devs. I will contact the touchdroid team and see what they think.
Brilliant Idea about starting the dev work
I would support this development and I am sure countless others who have just purchased $99/£89 HP Touchpads would do so. Once again thank you Robo-Rooter & Failhard to start this work.
Just got my 32gb Touchpad in the firesale. Really loving it so far. Having android apps on it would really top this device off. Good luck.
Have been using the touchpad for a couple of days and am amazed at the elegance and sophistication of the webos. Though an old android user ... I absolutely love the webOs interface.
Would love to see the palmdroid happen ... ALL THE VERY BEST GUYS ...
Thanks Robo-Rooter & Failhard for initiating this.
This would be absolutely perfect. I wouldn't want to ditch the WebOS but still be able to run Android apps.
You have my full support.
Great idea!
Great idea!
I have a droid (DesireHD) myself and comparing the droid's interface and webOS, I really like webOS. And looking at how the patches and O/C makes the whole tablet runs silky smooth, I really want an android app emulator. Current apps in webOS's catalogue is pathetic, but combining android's apps and webOS interface is the best one can get.
Subscribed. If I can't get the Android OS, an emulator would do nicely.

Yeah it will be great to those who want to keep WebOS

I am a long time webOS enthusiast, and I am hoping that I actually get one of the 6 TouchPads that I ordered over the last few days. I think your proposal is the best way to go, and would be way more useful, and probably easier, than a full dual boot android port. I just wanted to list some resources here to bring to everyone's attention. While XDA is the most amazing collection of talented Android and WinMo hackers, you probably want to enlist the help of the aces that live and breathe webOS. Here is where to find them:
http://forums.precentral.net/ Definitely the most popular webOS forum. All the homebrew devs and hackers hang out here.
http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Main_Page This is where all the nitty gritty is documented in a Wiki. I have known some of the webOS internals guys since the day the Pre launched, and they are very talented.
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=webos-internals This is their IRC channel.
Also, if anyone has not seen it, they have already got Ubuntu, including window managers, and apps like GIMP and LibreOffice, running inside cards in webOS. This leads me to believe that the Palmdroid concept is VERY possible.
http://forums.precentral.net/webos-development/292457-tutorial-how-get-ubuntu-touchpad.html
The nice thing is that lots of great auxiliary tools already exist to speed up the process, such as MetaDoctor for creating custom ROMs and Preware for downloading and compiling virtually any linux arm package.
Best of luck with everything. I am subscribing and will help where I can.
This is what I was waiting to hear!!! Let us know where to donate!

Subscribed, definitely want to know where this is heading.
as the biggest supporter of android on the TP, I've started to fall in love with webOS, not gonna lie. I would definitely support this idea. Its always great to have options!
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help out with a little project I have been thinking about. With this being my first android phone I am still reading up and learning how to develop. In the mean time I was hoping I could get some help from the community. I do not see this as a project I will be taking credit for but more of a collection of work from anyone willing to help, or give me permission to use their mods.
I would like to create a fairly flexible aroma installer with a fair amount of options. Allowing users to really customize their ROMS on install with a couple of tweaks I have in mind.
I have looked into Aroma and sort of understand the coding but was really hoping one of the Devs could help me get a very basic package together as a start (I know most of them are busy on their own projects and roms so it may not be viable). Hopefully I will find some help and can update this post as the project grows (if it grows). If any Devs are interested in helping me start this project of could you send me a PM.
NOTE
As I said this isnt a project I plan to take credi for and will be giving ALL credit to anyone that contributes to me getting it off the ground and started. I will also try my best to donate to anyone who can assist where possible. I will update this OP as the project continues and hopefully once I have got it off the ground people could help build it with ideas.
apparently i read your name to fast....
there are many awesome devs on the HoX. I would just pm some of them and see if you can get the response you are looking for.

Head over to the transformer prime dev forum. Mrwookie just put together an amazing Rom that uses Aroma installer with a bunch of options. He's a super helpful guy and may be willing to help you.

XsMagical who is a dev for our phone uses the aroma installer for his roms already so I would think he would be able to help you out. Here is his thread for his Rom nocturnal which I am using now.

I didn't want to annoy anyone by just starting to pm them asking for help especially since I am reasonably new at this which is why I thought I would ask for volunteers instead. I will reach out to the guy in the prime forum to see if he will help seeing he isn't developing for HoX. To get started I really need a simple installer with maybe 3 different screens one for selecting a rom (just the deoxed stock 1.85 for now), the one for theme (just the blue notification bar or none for now) and then one for mods (hopefully the dual core and oc mods). This will help me start the project.
Thanks for the advice.
I am in the process of checking with the devs to see if I may use their mods in the installer.

I was using his ROM for a while and liked his work, I will reach out to him but with him working on his ROM I wasn't sure if he will have time. I will check with him if I battle to get this started. Thank you
Hello my company and I have been working on several applications and utilities for education for Android devices although we are group of talented application developers none of us know anything about ROM development we're looking for someone or a group of people that would be willing to team up with us and help us create an open source cyanmod based rom with our applications built into it for education!
If you are interested feel free to comment or PM me and let's get this thing started soon
Thank you have a great day

Android is way better to start developing, because it has way more support than ios, and it's open source. As for how to start developing, pick an android device, go to its forum on xda and find tutorials and guides so you can start experimenting with your device. And of course, have fun modifying your phone.
Simple & Effective

Hey First Of All I want to tell you that choose the one which interests you more !
There are many android developers (so many apps too).
But There is lack of sufficient IOS Apps so it would be great if you become expert at it.
Steps:
Join as an intern somewhere in your niche.
Don't leave until you have full understanding of development.
At First Neither of development lang is easy.But once you enter in it.You get more and more interested in it !
To Know More: MyAppGurus.com
At first you should choose the language you will prefer to study. Php, JS, or Python is the best options. But anyway it's hard to learn this thing by solo. So of course at the start you will need some expert's help. I have used it too. On my experience can recommend you to visit https://www.effectivesoft.com
In one word, start from the Android official developer website.
