The Yinlips YDP-G18 is probably the cheapest Android device you can find with dedicated game controls. It would be cool if someone could cook up an updated English language ROM for it.

Hello,
This is a very promising console, we are currently testing and we must admit that this console is doing pretty well ... It's just a few thoughtful developers to take advantage of the machine maximum.
Go on google and write "CAANOO forumactif" to see the test!
The root is effective and the market is available.
Sorry for my poor english, i'm french
They already rooted it and installed android market on it. IMHO, it should get its own section. Having stripped down froyo or gb roms on it could further improve performance and battery life.
If I had the coin, I'd buy it right away. It's priced at $125 with free shipping. And it's the projection of my most beautiful dreams. Except for the two cameras it has.
It's actually a good product that can have enormous potential. Its biggest flaw is its current autonomy should be 3 hours with Wi-Fi enabled.
The screen is resistive, but responds well. It allows running N64 and PSX games fairly easily and without overclock.
I would love to also see a section for Android handheld and quickly see the arrival of Roms Customs and modified kernels.
For those who want to take the tests, the French member of the community are being Caanoo get them to see what she has in the stomach. I'm happy to keep you informed of the various tests that we will achieve.
I'm also getting one of these, looks promising with some tweaks or a new custom rom will be much better
Only 3 hr battery life? You'd think they'd be able to get more in there. But cool concept nonetheless.
Those who want to see the handheld running you can go see the videos that were made by @ BAFelton at: Sorry but i can't link URL, so Go on Youtube and search BAFelton61
It gives a good idea of what is possible.
Also, @ qbertaddict also examines the machine
Will get back to you almost certainly after the new year. Ordered it yesterday and they announced 15-20 business days until arrival
Yinlips has announced the update 2.3 (gingerbread) on the G18. This is good news to know that there is a follow-up from the manufacturer!

Yeah i'm follow up this awesome device too, and still check what is possible to do with .... Christmas is coming...
Why not a CyanogenMod ? lol

otherwise, it is the iReadyGo, not the G18 Yinlips. The prototype iReadyGo is not marketed. Here we talk about the G18. Is there any devs interested in working on improving it and make some changes?

There are others who have bought this. You can find their videos by searching for the Yinlips device on YouTube.

From what I can see in the videos, it's Chinese by default but can be changed to English. Since it's an Android device, in theory you would eventually be able to cook custom roms for this thing.
This is a steal, even though the touchscreen is resistive the specs are very good.
My interests are in the details, though: Does the analog stick work as a mouse in android? How is the screen quality with brightness and color? How easily can ROMs be customized?
If these things met with satisfaction I would buy today.

I have been gifted with some form of Nokia N9 clone from Japan where my dad has been working.
From what research I have done so far it seems to be running an OS called meego.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these devices / OS's ? I was hoping that I could some how get android on the device or even WP7...... any ideas ?
Oh and sorry for the post locations I wasnt sure where this question would best be posted...
N9 runs Meego.
You're sure it's a clone? Post pictures of it?
Oh ok, mmm right well do you know if you can squeeze android onto it ?

Hi guys/girls,
I would like to create a Galaxy S (I9000) ROM for a school project from AOSP.
There are a few to I would like to know before I start:
Because I can't work on it for more than 80 hours (including research), would this be do-able for a person with no real programming experience (yet)?
What version of Android do you recommend me to make? (which is the best for a beginner)
Does it cost me money? (drivers from samsungs?)
Will you be able to help me if I can't figure it out with Google/XDA?
My goal is to make it (call/sms/internet) work, not to make it the fastest ROM on XDA or something professional.
Thank you for your answer.
I don't know anything about making roms but I can say this.
The best version would be gingerbread 2.3.5 as its add for the sdk iis the best on the android website.
And no, it wont cost u money if u extract drivers from another rom

Hey XDA,
Huge noob here, just wanted to propose a discussion. But first, a little background
I was recently looking into the new windows 8 platform and, like many people, I am not entirely convinced by it. This essentially just fueled my interest in the idea of making android a PC operating system as well as a mobile one.
Now on to my discussion question...
Since there has been some ports of Android floating around as downloadable ISO files, I was thinking. If laptops start becoming more touchscreen based (which I'm certain they will given windows 8s release) and thus, xda development of android for PCs becomes more grand scale, Wouldn't it really give android a strong backing if they had a fully featured steam app built off of steam's linux port "coming soon".
So tell me, What are your thoughts? Possible, not possible? Good Idea, Bad? Let's hear it.
Well that would be cool

Meh, android in my opinion is not suited for a computer. Android has power, but I feel it doesn't have the necessary power for a computer. I would rather use a Linux district running an interface better suited for touch/net books like kde or unity

Hey,
did anyone heared about the new Android Emulator? It's called "Andy" and this the website www.andyroid.net/.
Let know what your tought about this is. Is this to much or does we still have enough Emulators?
This got some new cool features. Check them out!
Greats Hasel!
I downloaded it today in hopes that I would be able to play Battlefield Commander on my desktop. :fingers-crossed: Unfortunately, it says "my device does not support". I'm so bummed because that was 90% of why I wanted it on my desktop :crying:
If anyone has any way to make this possible on desktop and a link to some pretty easy instructions I'd be one happy camper. :victory: Uhm er I really don't "camp" on BF4!
Goofy
Found this today and was looking for a review somewhere. I only found one review from someplace I have never heard of. I would love to try this out, but I dont want to sign into my google account without knowing if this site is legit.
I tried it on my laptop with an AMD A8 processor and 4 Gb of RAM and it runs painfully slow. I contacted the developers but still haven't heard anything after 4 days.
