He didn't do it! I did!

Okay, now that you're all curious..
This thread will sum up quickly the last month of hard work, and who deserves the credit. Everyone who deserves serious rep will be in bold, anyone who deserves acknowledgement will be in italics.
- xmoo and his source release a leaked copy of the HTC Magic "system" folder.
- xda members start to frantically get the system folder to boot.
- I go on the forums and try to persuade everyone to listen to me and fail to get anyone to care.
- I decide to take it into my own hands and get that m.f. to run.
* build 4 is released (builds 1,2, and 3 were in house builds until i made the build somewhat usable.)
- barakinflorida suggests that i put open home as the default home application to give you guys a GUI.
* build 4.5 is released
- After 2 days I received an OTA update while testing the 4.5 build and manage to track down where HTC is releasing updates.
- Playing with it for a bit I ported the first successful cupcake build.
* build 5.0 is released
- Some days go by for fixing bugs and sorting stuff out.
- dream_kill shows me how the boot works on the device, and how to fix wifi/bluetooth (simply changing something from sapphire to trout).
- fnord, Darkrift, and I work out how to get apps to sd working on cupcake (cupcake uses vold instead of mountd)
* this is now at build 5.0.1
- an anonymous tipster gives me the system directory to another build based on the vodaphone magic.
- I port that over to the dream again
* G build is released
- Daproy starts building kernels for me with built in ext2 and other goodies, bringing easier apps to sd and other nice features.
- At this point everything is pretty much going pretty smooth, I got a new SPL, new radio, and cupcake is running pretty much on everyones phone. (this was my initial goal, give cupcake to the community )
some days go by...
- Dude compiles the latest cupcake build from source and uses Daproy's, and my, boot image and other pieces (refer to his thread for what exactly) to have a nice working source based build.
- HTC releases ADP 1.5
- I mod ADP 1.5 and release the "root" build.
* ADP1.5H (yes the H stands for haykuro, not HTC.)
- Daproy cooks up a multi-touch kernel for the ADP builds.
- JesusFreke helps me through my compiler troubles and builds the multitouch browser.
* ADP1.5Hr3
this is pretty much it guys. no need to argue.
Me and Dude are friends, he has been very understanding and asks my permission before using any of the parts of my builds.
This is a developers community, and open source supportive.
I want to take a second and make sure everyone understands none of what we have today would be possible if it wasn't for 4 main players.
xmoo releasing the HTC image.
me porting the image.
Daproy building those wonderful kernels.
JesusFreke lending a hand when needed.

I want to thank everyone mentioned above for all of the hard work!!!
Much Appreciated!!!!
Haykuro = greatness!!

Thanks for posting this Hayruko. Those of us that have been following from the beginning (I started with 4.5G) or close to it knew this timeline pretty well, but there seems to be some misconceptions out there now that 1.5 has exploded. Many might think this is a pointless thread, but I like that someone is finally standing up and saying that this isn't a competition between You, Dude, and JF, working fervently to have the best build, but a collaboration between you all and many other hardworking devs, to give us all the best homebrew ROMs available. I wish everyone would stop the "Which is better" or "Just wait until JF gets involved, he'll kill Hayruko's stuff" discussions, pick a build that suits them, and be happy. There's plenty of cupcakes to go around.

Definatly a big thanks to everyone. I don't know what drives some members to shun ANYONE, not just those above for optionally helping them. The idea of Open Source is to help spread knowledge from everyone to everyone. The greatest learning experience. Yourself and among countless others have helped evolve the use of Android and the G1, and there isn't a single person on this forum that shouldn't be grateful for the hard work and countless hours you've slaved to do this work on your own time.
I'm sorry we have some of the members we do here, but on behalf of those that don't wish to speak their names and hide in the darkness.
THANKYOU!!!!!

thank you guys for all the hard work u guys done for us ! XDA DEVELOPERS #1 FORUM ! GOGOGO !

That's actually an interesting build ........... well done guys (& girls?)
Love the work you bring to the community here!

There is no "I" in T-E-A-M!!
Great work! Really Great Work...

Arigato gozaimasu

What a liar!! I did most of the work, haykuro just took all my credit.
/me hides

you guys should get together and open an android company and develope more software for android and get paid =D

It is awesome all the hard work that you all have put in on the bettering of this device. Much Appreciated, Thank you!

Awsom work guys! Helping each other is what's goning realy help throw the apples and windows out. I've been folowing all of the android news for about 6 monts waiting for my old contract to be up.
It sounds like this is stable enough now, ill be updating tonight. I can't wait.

People who do this get killed by GOOGLE "thugs"
On a serious note.... Thanks to all who have contributed to the advancement of android!

You guys are all amazing. Thanks for all your hard work.

Maybe you dont understand what open source means, The whole point of android was a open source projects that would remain open and free. Any TRUE open source developer knows and understands this and does the work not to get paid, But to help out a community. Yes there is a way to make money, And yes some people are making money from their apps, But that was never the point of a open source community, People contributed for the common good of the community not to get rich... But i am a capitalist and understand the all mighty dollar...

Lol @ darkrift. Agreed w/all above. Someone recently (don't remember who) brought up how roms are cooked for other HTC phones...and the fact that there are tons of customs for those w/ unique apps for each. We should be celebrating these guys with thanks for providing each something different to the open source community.
Ps. Tehseano I like your new sig.

To all devs who participated.....
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR AWESOME WORK!!!! Thank you all for your knowledge & watermelon sized cojones (each), for flashing the first releases & being fearless of the outcome, as well as moving forward at a blazing speed. I sincerely thank you for your hard work, and for making me look cool by being the first person around that I know with a working video camera on their G1!!!!

First and foremost I would to say THANK YOU to all involved.
Second; I imagine you guys are using IRC to keep in constant contact? If not I suggest we put together a IRC room for this board so all can idle, and discuss ideas.

Thank all of you guys...loving my G1 even more...personally I don't know how much I'd like my phone if not for all the mods.
Keep up the great work.
Can't wait until you guys begin compiling 100% custom builds...muahahahhahah...one can hope.

thanks so much guys! it just cant be said enought how much your work is appreciated.. i hated my g1 like a mofo, now i cant think of having any other phone!

[APP][4.4+] Splitterz: First Project on Android

Hey, I am a german student, actually studying philosophy and sociology, but last year I started to look into development of mobile games. I am already working on this since last summer and now I am finally at a point, where I am willing to show it to other people and ask about opinions. This is the first time i coded something, but thanks to Unity and Visual Studio I achieved a pretty decent result I would say. For that purpose I learned a bit of C#(More than I would have thought of, to be honest ) Since probably everyone of you is more experienced on this topic than I am, I would be pleased if you could give me some feedback/ stuff I can improve or do better. One problem I dont really know how to tackle is the size of my Apk, i already compressed some of the images and got it down to 37 mb, but its still unproportionally big in my opinion, or is this normal? I will also upload a build for you without any advertisement
I would also appreciate advice on advertising, for when my game is polished enough for that.
Thanks alreaedy in advance for your feedback and fell free to ask any question

New ROM for Pixel 3 series? [Looking for Alpha Testers]

Hello everyone,
Over the past few years the custom ROM scene has been dwindling. The Nexus and Pixel devices are suppose to be the crown jewl of development but that has began to fade. I was thinking of committing to a new ROM for Pixel devices (and possibly Essential devices down the road) since these are the easiest to maintain. The ROM wouldn't be packed with the most features, but take an approach similar to Oxygen OS: only add meaningful features and maintain the AOSP look and feel. I would also make it a point to keep the ROM up to date with the latest security patches and bug fixes from Google (security and stability would be priority). I have quite a bit of development experience from the past and was wondering how much support and "want" there is for a project like this? Anyone who would be interested in a ROM like this just like this thread and comment any feedback/suggestions/questions. If there is enough support for this project I will commit to it but I want to gauge public response first.
Cheers,
Shawn
Edit: It's worth noting the project would be open source.

Yes I've been saying this and it kinda sucks cuz I love flashing different roms , mods etc lol so a new rom for Pixel 3xl (my device) with features from various roms and being stable would be cool. Any requests feature wise I won't mind letting you know. Hope you do decide to make one soon. Thanks and good luck!

All roms welcomed!

Hell yea! So lacking right now in terms of ROMs for these devices.

I would love another custom ROM that has support for 3minite battery given that I haven't been able to get it working on any custom ROM.
Sent from my Pixel 3 XL

I'd go for it. I would like to see something for oreo

It would be fantastic to have some more options. I came from Pixel 2XL to Pixel 3XL and the ROM flashing choices dropped, DRAMATICALLY. Luckily I've been getting my fill by testing for the AquariOS team, so that fulfills my need to flash regularly but it'd be great to see some more action in the forum. I'm sure there will be plenty of support for your decision, if you decide to move forward with it.

I'd love to see a really minimal and stable AOSP with a really active mod/flash community for those that like to add sprinkles.

Mos Def Interested!!!
It would be something I would be interested in for sure.
:good:

Of course. Variety is the spice of life.
Maybe you can figure out why Sprint devices can't send MMS.

I would like to see LOS. I used Cyanogen for years.

I really wish this could happen and be made possible.

The biggest reason for lack of development is the cost of the device, I gave almost $1200 for mine, after the "insurance".
Going back to Nexus days, the things were less than half that price, hopefully the A series will bring some life back....

Alpha Testers
Hello all,
Thanks for all the positive responses and feedback. I am strongly leaning towards committing to the project but wanted to see how many people would be willing to be Alpha Testers for the project.

Just FYI, making people have a Slack account to participate is a no no, nothing else wrong with your application though

I have Slack, but it's only for work..I would rather not provide that. Any other way? Perhaps Telegram instead? Or give us an organization to use outside of our likely employers?

I have removed the Slack option from the form so you can fill it out now without any issue. For now we can just XDA Private Messages and go from there towards an alternative in the future.

Are you still working on it?

is there any app developer that can help me with my app

i have an app two actually arc lighting and arc lighting navigationbar both of which needs to be updated, i did my best to give back to the community gave free codes to all xda members as i wanted to give back to this community
i hired one developer that unfortunately passed away he did an amazing job on the app but i was never able to get the sourcecode, his cousin took over the work but was upset that i thought the original developer just left, but now he has also vanished last response was 6 months ago, i don't know whats actually happening and why, i don't know what to think any more of anything.
any way the sourcecode of my app is the very first release and the current version is much more updated than the sourcecode i have but these updates are fairly simple as far as i know, so i am pleading with someone who can help me update it i don't have a lot to offer but if anyone does wish to help it would mean a lot.
i also have another app that i wanted to release but i don't know why it's not compiling properly, the apk the dev sent me works but he can't help me compile it as he is in ukraine so he is going through more serious things, the app simply turns off the edge of any edge display both touch and visually.
this app is very important to me they both died because of these events i just want to salvage it or at least make it work for people who actually bought it it as i owe that to them, the most important thing is to make it work again as it seems it's no longer supporting the latest android, i spent my 20's on these projects i lost all of my 20's as i am turning 30 so i hope someone can help me i don't want it all to be just lost.
i did have someone try to extort me by saying he extracted the latest sourcecode so i don't know how simple it is to get the latest sourcecode as i have the keys.
