Can this be done with HTC phones?

I like the concept. It's about time, we can get a picture of our own phone/mp3 player on the screen, color included. Itunes has only done that for about 4 versions now.
Here is the link to the developer kit: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/DeviceExperience/Dev-Kit.mspx
Which I assume will never get utilized by phone manufacturers, since Microsoft is leaving it up to them. Maybe for the newest ones.
Nice article about it: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2354491,00.asp
If there is a place likely to develop these custom .xml profiles before waiting for the phone companies to do it, XDA seems like the place.
Any takers on cooking these profiles up? 1 Vote for the Tilt.

I've gone through a few phones recently and many of them already do this in WMDC but I suspect you need a manufacturer that can be bothered. In fact, I remember my tosh g900 doing this a couple of years ago.

Which Android Bootloader?

Okay chaps and chappesss I am gearing up for my foray into the Android dual-boot wilderness and trying to get stuff sorted.
Whilst still trying to finalise the Android build I wish to use I wanted to clarify BootLoader.
I know of:
-JMZ (the free v4 one!)
-Exceller
-mkskip's
I know with the JMZ I can also use to install Android on first use.
Do the other 2 do that as well?
Does any one offer an advantage in terms of battery life over the other 2 (in the way they load android relative to extent of WinMo still active underneath - if you get what I mean?)
Any major reasons or other features to suggest one over the other?
I like the idea of having a WinMo button to load into Android as per mksip rather than having to power-off and select on start-up (don't know if Exceller does that as well though )
Any others I should consider instead?
Thanks

this is my favorite one

Android browser compatible web-page creator/generator - alpha

Hiya guys,
I have been working on a project that would allow anyone to create simple web-pages on their desktop pc's as-well as mobile device fast and easily! After much frustration I think I have what could be considered a 'working alpha' and would love for some of you to come and test what I have created. It uses a drag and drop type interface and hosts a number of features and tools to create web-pages.
The tool is 100% web-based and should work on just about any device (Im going to regret saying that). I had the idea that this might be useful for sites such as Ebay, to create templates for your auctions easily or static pages etc on the move.
Here is an image of the alpha taken from my desire hd2 -

Please let me know what you think!

Sorry for people who had the issue where passwords where not emailed out! Fixed my email settings so registration should work fine now.
Here are some more screenshots of the development tool on my desire hd -
Looking foward to some feedback guys!

I have an Android phone with a thermal imaging camera; can you help me reverse engineer it?

Hi!
I've bought a Blackview BV6600Pro. I don't see any existing forums on it (not surprising, Blackview doesn't seems to be very popular), so I'm posting this here.
This phone has an actual FLIR thermal imaging camera, with a Lepton sensor I think. It was $240, including shipping. As far as I can tell, that's _by far_ the cheapest thermal imaging camera you can get with this good of resolution. Here's the laptop I'm writing this on:

}
That said, the stock firmware kinda sucks. And I don't expect any security updates. I'd love to get Lineage up and running, but have no clue where to start. It's based on a MediaTek MT6765V, if that's relevant.
I'm a very experienced software engineer, and long-time linux user, but don't know many details about Android.
Anyone here interested in pointing me in the right direction? I don't even know how to dump the stock ROM off it.
Thanks in advance!

P.S. I'm also happy to take requests for infrared photos I mostly got this thing just to sate my own curiosity.

Looking for help on a generic 1gb device rom

Ive got this really old Android 6 device that was marketed as a "phablet" (phone/tablet )made by Ewis. Its the size of an old tablet but is supposed to be a phone with front+back cameras and all the usual features. Ss atatched of specs. (hardware still in mint condition 6 years later)
Issue is i want to get some sort of rom for it as the default one is full of bugs right from the start and freezes even with nothing loaded or running. ( fresh after a factory reset )
I use it just for media and not bothered with any of the higher end features so any Android that is still app supported is ok. 7? It came with stock Android 6 and the company never released any updates at all. 2 years later they even went so far as to release another device with the exact same model number and higher specs.
Pic showing the device does exist and size comp next to my Huawei Y7pro

It was replaced by the manufacturer with - and there is no link to the old model anymore. Just some old facebook pics
If anyone knows of a generic rom i could try that would match these specs that would be awesome.
