NEW QWERTY Android Slider Coming!!! - General Topics

https://www.readyfx.com/
Not sure if this was posted previously, please share. Coming from the same folks that developed a keyboard mod for the Moto z phones
Sincerely hope the device is successful
Based on my past devices, you can tell I had a great love for QWERTYs, just want to spread the word to fellow QWERTY lovers
I feel like there's a small, but committed group out there that never wanted to give up on QWERTY phones, but all of us were forced away from that choice because no one wanted to build a new phone for various reasons (cost, durability, design, market, etc.)
If this device goes well enough, hopefully it will spark a comeback of the physical keyboard

That thing looks enormous. I don't think it's desgined to be used like conventional qwerty sliders with you thumbs. The keyboard is too big for that. And I also don't think it's big enough to use comfortably woth 2 hands. Only my opinion but the device I posted seems much easier to use

I believe he owns the company or works there. Check out all the pics of device development. Hopefully it gives you a better idea of size. Regarding the device you posted, it doesn't look like the main screen is designed to be used vertically like a regular phone. I'm sure the gemini PDA is a great device, but I don't think it's phone the way people would want to use it.
Also a slide mechanism is probably easier to use than a flip mechanism. Thanks for sharing, I was actually surprised how much backing they got through crowdfunding

Just wanted to post some more info, here's the newsletters they've been sending out over the past few weeks. Gives some detail into device design

Why? Why on earth would you the crappiest os to ever be developed on your evo 3D? Android is and always will be superior to this os. I would rather use windows 3.1 than use the worthless ass os known as webos. Should be known as crapos.

...i swear i've seen you post similar threads before... meh
webos will never be ported to any other device apart from those that are certified to legally use it. porting it to another device would be illegal.
Also, what fun would webos be without the gesture area?

Hey, Evo4Eva might not have the most polite way of expressing his opinion, but he does have a point!
I don't know how webOS is on a phone, but on a tablet it really is awful. It's immature, unpolished and clearly unfinished. It's actually so bad, that it made a tablet with excellent hardware, like the Touchpad, god awfully slow.
You can browse faster on an old HTC Desire than on a Touchpad. And that really says something, considering the fast dualcore Snapdragon CPU that thing has.
(Besides, webOS is the Flying Dutchman of Operating Systems. It's cursed and destroys any company or hardware it gets close to!)

Hey! Someone with proper grammar and that realizes what is fact and not opinion. WEBOS IS COMPLETE GARBAGE!
I'm going to tell you a fact: You're a fckng troll.
Everything else you wrote is your opinion however.
This thread didn't ask you for your opinion.
This thread isn't about putting WebOS on your phone so please don't interpret it as being about you because nobody cares (fact).
I thought this was a thread about how the OP likes webos not every troll and their brothers looking to put down another user. Now, I am not saying webos is the best in the world (and I am an android developer) I like it (kinda) but I am waiting for the CM team to complete the android port. That is WAY over my head.

To those that say its a piece of **** either your referring to phone hardware or market selection.. or you've never really used it.... At least a couple weeks...
The gesture area can be the buttons below... If you notice they are an extecion of the touch screen.. just like the pre... To test it scroll something and drag you finger over the buttons...

Why there is a shortage of One X ? Blame Apple !!

Now we know why there is no ATT One X available.. This is ridiculous
See theVerge for the news
Sorry for no URL, new User !!
I don't care one bit, I already have my One X and I'm loving it
It is absolutely ridiculous though, especially considering that this is a core feature that practically every smartphone on the planet is expected to have. I think Apple is just pissed that Android does it better than iOS.

I'm so glad I switched to this phone from the iPhone. If you can't beat them sue them.

I am loving my phone as well, bought it launch day. Its been great going so far.
Although I do like apple, this is just ridiculous !!
PS: In XDA, you always get recaptcha when posting a reply or its a newbie thing ?
Ive noticed a lot of complaints about the links etc not working on this device... Youtube opening up web link instead of the player for example. HTC attempted to fix the complaint The things you are allowed to patent are amazing..

Bugs? What bugs?
Love it or hate it...without iOS, there would be no Android or any finger-based OS at all...
It amazes me that people forget that resistive touchscreen was the hottest thing available until Apple's hardware and software changed everything...
I guess only people that used WM5/6 can truly understand how much things have changed.
And yes, I do think the lawsuits are pointless and stupid. However, it goes both ways. Heck, Motorola is "winning" against Apple right now. No push email for Germany users lol.
so i wonder what's gonna happen. Will they drop the one x?

You forget who Apple drew inspiration from...namely Palm (lots and lots on inspiration) and the LG Prada with its capacitive touchscreen. But Apple did do a good job combining these two.
I wonder if HTC saw this coming and wanted to get some hardware through customs before the deadline. Could explain a few of the bugs...
I am confused though. There's a thread about clickable links in email not working.
However, my links in my messages and emails click just fine and open in my default browser...
So is it possible that an update will cripple these functions in the future?

You have to manually fix it. If you want YouTube links to open in the YouTube app, you have to remove the HTCLinkifydispatcher.apk in Systems/App and reboot
You can try disabling it. Since I am rooted, I just deleted the apk and rebooted and all YouTube videos/links open the YouTube app
Just ordered mine by calling at&t

I want to know your opinion XDA

Hi everyone, my name is Powky and I'm new here on the XDA forums.
Well... I was thinking and want to know your opinion about the idea.
My idea is: create a ROM based on iOS7. Yes, I know, many people think about that (and is possible to be some ROM iOS based but I don't know it), but I have to tell something, I wish to do a ROM based on the look of iOS7 in ALL the aspects, ALL!
The animations, the icons, the style, etc.. Just all.
I am... New? Well, I'm new on the forums but I have all the basic stuff to know about Android and some medium ones.
And I need a little favor, if you guys can please tell me all the basic stuff about create a ROM, thinks to study first, and all about developing ROM...
Wish to you guys agree with this idea to make this imagination to reality.
Good night to everybody ?
(Sorry if you guys don't understand my English, I speak Spanish ?)

Here are some IOS 7 launchers to start with https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ios 7 launcher&hl=nl. Look on Google for everything about how to build android roms. Plenty info available.
I can understand that people like iOS UI but what is the aim of building a complete 'iOS ROM'?
As suggested you should first try xposed modules, launchers, icon packs, custom themes...

He didn't seem rude to me. He asked a question and then suggested an alternative. And it was a legitimate question. The OP stated he wanted to create a ROM the same as IOS7 in ALL aspects (his emphasis). It really does beg the question why not just get an iPhone in the first place.

I understand your point of view toward their reactions, but if it was the first time that someone gives that type of answers to a new-comming OP, it would be more acceptable. However, whenever someone comes with the idea of porting or creating a OEM Rom to the affordable and very open source Nexus 5, there you will find a anti-development crew suggesting to buy a much more expensive device as a solution. Why not tell them the reasons of why it's difficult to port a Rom or where to look for help, instead of telling to spend their school money?
I could be wrong, but I ts not so welcoming for them.

That's true. I guess if Apple made a thinner, lighter phone with a larger screen fewer people would be looking for a ported IOS rom.
Well, it's OK...
Another point I want to take is the fact of the iOS launchers... There are all buggy, I want to make the ROM completely like iOS7 and I don't want to buy a iPhone (as my "friend" mrv said) because one thing: why I should to buy an iPhone of 700$ to have the ui when I have another phone with the price of 400-500$ and better than the iPhone?
That's my point of view, and you're all right, there is MIUI but I was using the launcher and is not completely like I want it...
So... I only want opinions, I will try to do it, I don't care if there are apple-haters... I don't really like the iPhone because there are to small, to close and all that ****, the only thing I like (and not only me) is the ui, and I want to ported for my beautiful android.

There's nothing wrong with using an iPhone. I have an iPhone 6 that I use, and I love it. It's a seriously awesome device. Just do what I do, and switch between the two. Sometimes I feel like using Android and when I do, I use my N5 or 2014 Moto X. And sometimes I feel like using my iPhone. So I just pop the SIM card out and switch phones at my leisure.
If that's not an option you could use it as a dedicated media player. Or a WiFi only web device. Use it for everything you used to use it for except making calls.

No prob bud. I wouldn't want to sell my N5 either, it's amazing how well it's held up even though it's over a year old. Like I said before, I have a 2014 Moto X and I still use my N5 all the time. I always sell my old devices to pay for my new ones but the N5 was an exception. I actually did sell my first one, and ended up regretting it so much that I sold my OnePlus One to buy a new N5 a few months ago lol.

Custom Roms and Software Future

Hey guys,
atm I'm looking for a new phone and as it just dropped 50€ in price I'm highly considering the Honor 8. The only thing that worries me is that there are no Custom Roms. Right now I'm using a Samsung S5 with AICP Android 6 and the Nougat Update just around the Corner. Will there ever be stable and really Daily driver usable custom roms with Stock Android for Kirin CPUs? If there is no hope just tell me and I will move on searching but if there will be some developement in the future I would love to own this phone.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I recommend you to read more threads about development here, that way you'll understand the situation better and why it's like that.
At the moment, no roms and no one working on it.
Its so sad that this awesome device does not have any custom roms yet

Thanks will do that but doesn't sound to promising.
I'll give it a month, if there no custom ROMs I'll stick to the 5x or buy another device

There are some that are working on it but to be honest developing for this device is almost as bad as developing for xiaomi devices. There are a few teams that were working on it but then just tossed the device aside and said it wasnt worth the trouble.

As of for me (I am in the beginning on the path of ROM development and still learning) it's hard to start with a kirin device, but in the future I may start supporting kirin devices.

I thought about it as well but honestly can't afford another phone when my n6 is still a beast. I have looked at some of source and it is a mess. Almost completely unreadable.

It's definitely hard to develop for a kirin device

Yeah mainly when they don't translate stuff out of Chinese. Which even translated comes out to gibberish. This is why many of the teams just gave up on the device and told the people that got them the device that it just wasn't gonna happen.
For now, be away from Kirin devices if you look for Custom ROM. Stay with Qualcomm or even MTK...

What do you think if we can translate those stuffs from Chinese to English? I think on XDA there are quite a few Chinese member, although this translation is definitely HUAWEI's own job...

Some have tried. It doesn't translate well due to the different dialects that are used.
I would pick the Karin over mtk if I had a choice myself.

The best part is when they misspell something and instead of changing it they leave it like that everywhere
{ "band_5g_enabled", HISI_CONFIG_WIFI_BAND_5G_ENABLEED},

. I also hate when when they define their functions STATIC in uppercase, it just makes no sense.
I am going to send an PR to the ViM developers to include a Chinese translator [emoji13]

It was easier for Huawei to make those files available in english and for the community

Not really, they are Chinese so it's easier for them.

I do agree with you it's easier for them to make them in chinese.
All I'm trying to say it isn't that hard to make the files in english (as it's the most used language) and it will be easier for the community to get started
After all, it's up to them
At least we won't get a ****load of copy/pasted buggy roms made by people who don't even own the device or know what a kernel is.
I now find myself more comfortable with this phone and exactly 0 kernel kiddies around, than with my previous Samsung and the perpetual expectation/hope/false illusion of someone to finally make a decent update out of the hundred available variants, which yes it let me keep the phone a year more, but always on the edge of instability, and with an additional decrease of its used market value (a 2-years old phone still has some market; 3-years old is ready to trash).
I don't see criticalities on this phone for now; we'll get Nougat and an EMUI refresh in a few months, and that's enough for another year. Except some defects on status bar and notifications, I don't miss any of the 10000 features of the various fully modded CM13 roms.
