Has anyone tried to port Android1.6 to the incredible?
Is it even possible?
If no one has, I'd like to give it a shot! I think I have my pc set up for building from source and for porting, just finished with all the downloads and installs with ubuntu 10.10, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Why would you want to port Android 1.6? That's 10 steps back from 2.2 ...
I know, just wanted to see if it was possible, and to see what I could do with it if I was able to port or build.

On top of that. My g/f likes my dinc, but she says its too confusing for her, but when I had a MOTO devour, she loved that phone. So I was thinkin that if I could make a custom 1.6 Rom for her, she wouldn't have to steal my phone anymore and turn around and complain about not being able to work it!!

1. Probably not possible based on the hardware specifics and apis needed.
2. Why even waste the time? Just date a girl who isn't so stupid that she can't work a drop dead simple OS with a UI layer that makes it even EASIER.

Oooooooook.... thanks for the insight.
I see your point, but do you really have to be a **** about it?

If you're looking for a simple-ish rom try MIUI. It's slightly buggy, but I've used it as my daily since Novemeber 2010. It is visually influenced by iOS so it is possibly more simple to use, but it still offers all the benefits of Android.
Yea, ok. I've used miui before! That may actually work for her, thanks.
It's been about 2 or 3 months since I flashed it, what are the latest fixes and kernel?

How about loading ADW Launcher and making her a super simple 2 or 3 screens with everything she would need then locking the screen?
Good Rage song... Grew up listening to them..... And punk rock.... Fawk rap.

Lol came out a year and a few months after I was born.

If you do pull off getting Donut to work on the Inc, I would certainly try it out. I wasn't around for the earlier days of Android and would like to try it out first hand .

why not take 5 minutes and show her how to use the phone? **** even my dad is learning how to use my phone and he still uses a flip phone. convinced him to wait for the Inc2. never thought I'd see the day he used a smartphone. never in a million years. He a construction worker with huge hands, you should be able to teach her what she needs. It's not too hard to distinguish the phone button and stuff like that HTC Sense is made to be simple. just not idiotproof like the iCrap. Good luck.
Teaching her to use this phone is like teaching a 2 yr old quantum physics, and this time she won't even try. I told her there's not really any difference in operating between 1.6 and 2.2 but she just.....don't......get it, and I give up.

Given that they update weekly, quite a lot. It's running GB now, and has incorporated things such as app/system backup, a simple file explorer (with ftp-server functionality) and quite a bit more. The chinese devs created an english side to their site and posted a youtube video of the newest generation. Can't post links yet, but go to youtube and search for "MIUI ROM 7th closed beta version" and it'll pop right up.
Still a work in progress- and it built on the international version. But looks like its still a top priority phone that is being worked on for ICS!!

i am seriously LUSTING for ics on the T989. things like this makes me think were on the brink of eternal happiness...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
something i did notice is that if we get a port similar to this....will we have to have the on screen buttons?
i mean thats like a good portion of our screen.....couldnt they make our touch buttons use those functions?!! idk just a thought
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
even if we dont get a port samsung has already said were getting it so im not worried either way ,i think id rather a build that was made for our phones then worked over and optimised by the devs on here than a port from another phone ...im completely happy with my phone now the way it is, i can wait for the update
He but the question is when?...
Look at the vibrant update to 2.2 it took forever. And the s4g as well. It's barely getting 2.3!
If samsung wants to knock competition off they have to get. It asap!

I think it will help though that they are releasing the ICS on the Galaxy Nexus though. They've had all this time to work with it before other phone suppliers. ya know?

im sure they want the galaxy nexus to be the only phone with it for a couple months to help sales then i expect them to roll out the updates, IMO 5mp camera and no external storage make the nexus a huge fail in my eyes
Agreed, the storage on the vibrant, released way back when, is still better than most other phones...

I really hope this phone gets an update. From what I understand the Vibrant still has not been updated to Gingerbread.
something you didnt notice, is that its an alpha build and they said very publically they are going to remove the buttons, if you see the build on the optimus 3d it doesnt have the on screen buttons, its just a feature they have to figure out how to turn on!

Something I did notice was the (not needed) sarcasm in your post. Yet thanks for telling me....if the guy said it in the video...I didn't hear bcuz I was at school and didn't have any headphones and didn't want disturb anybody with the speaker...so I watched it with no sound....lol
I have tried Alpha 9, there is sound, wifi, bt, network. no camara, microphone, problems to install applications from market, some live wallpapers dont work. can't wait release....
You can remove the buttons in the launcher. I'll wait till ics is stable on are phone. Gingerbread still has it problems till i can move to it.
According to this source, LG has not released any good info on if or when we will see the update, unlike many other manufacturers have stated.
http://m.techradar.com/news/phone-a...l-5-0-release-date-when-can-i-get-it--1257804
Yeah I saw that as well this was my first LG may be my last if this is true
Who cares until its a week plus since the other manufacturers release L? The other guys may have a approximate date but that means nothing (the past proves this statement). For all we know lg will be the first non nexus device to get it pushed out.
Good news? http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/lg-g3-android-lollipop-update-may-land-by-end-of-2014-24-10-2014/
Even once it's released. How many will actually update before a root method is out there for it. lol
Do you think T-Mobile might lock the device down when it releases this update? If they don't, does that make it easier to root? I am just one of those impatient always want the new shiny thing guys
i see a nexus 6 in my future. i am going to wait for the officail lollipop release for the nexus 4 (my back up phone) then install that, sell the G3 and put the money toward my nexus 6..... i tried but i just cant get used to the skins, and i miss cynaogenmod with a working camera.

Man I'm in the same boat. Using n5 and debating selling the g3. Good hardware laggy software. I'd keep it and use aosp if I knew it wasn't still a month or two away from working camera and BT. AND I DON'T KNOW THAT lol just missed aosp.
I dont understand why people say the g3 is laggy. There's been post after post on how to get rid of any lag. Turn ART on. Reduce the scale of the animations. Blah blah blah. Read the forums. The phone might not be fast out of the box, but there's simple ways to make it faster. These devs will get the Roms done as long as everyone would search their forums instead of asking the same questions over and over again. Everyone is jumping ship because they don't have the ROM they want. Just be a little more patient. If you wanted a phone that's more on the cutting edge you should have bought or stayed with you nexus phone.
Really tho, with LGs last update, all that lag is literally gone.
Looks like we are supposed to get android lollipop by the end of the year! That's less than 2 months from the release! http://m.gsmarena.com/newscomm-10031.php
Confirmed.
http://www.androidguys.com/2014/10/27/good-news-lg-g3-g2-owners-will-get-android-5-0/
Yay! That is great news! It would be awesome if we got it before most of the other phone manufacturers. Thanks for the update.
This is just another rumor. "An lg rep said we should get it before the end of the year. "
That does not sound definite but at least possible, maybe probable.

So would this be for the international version? It would then go to the carriers after that right? From past experiences, T-Mobile has been slower than other carriers about updates

I will believe it when i see it. This may be my last LG though if they dont get their update game in check. They are officially the WORST when it comes to updates IMO

I agree. I really love the g3 but am really wanting to install a fresh rom like cloudy but am not going to bother if we are getting this update. I can't wait for this version and for someone to do a nice clean no bloat lollipop rom!
It is the waiting that makes me miss the n4 I had for almost 2 years.
At that point I seriously think our lgs will be the very best.

The Huawei Watch Update to Android Wear 1.4 will start next monday, 29th.
The update will bringt some new features, especially the support for the build in speaker. Referring to latest information it will be possible to listen to Spotify offline playlists with the Watch. There will be also a new reminder and a keyboard.
I'm rellay looking forward to the update!
Edit link is here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=65606670&postcount=97

I'll believe it when I see (and hear it) myself on my wrist.
At this point people have had to wait quite a while for the update with very little news from Huawei.
God help us to see it!
it "starts" on Monday but Huawei have not detailed the update roadmap (which countries first etc..)....

Really? All the other watches to update so far don't even get the full benefit of the update because they don't have a speaker. I'd much rather have a well tested update that I don't have to worry about rather than the bricking mess that Moto is going through right now.

So you'd rather have a bad product that updated quickly, than a quality product that wasn't the first to update?

He'd rather have his "unicorn" moto 360 2nd gen since his (supposedly the one he is going get) is the only one in existence with a speaker in it.
Seriously though, if you truly aren't happy with a product, and you (as in everyone in general) aren't going to give constructive criticism, it's better to move on than to stay and spread nothing but negativity :good:

get ready for that new awesome fake always on mode... your watch display will be turned off after some time, even if you wear your watch
I realy love the watch without speaker. When i bought it i have no ideea that next update will bring speaker support. I think thats a briliant ideea to buy a product and after month and month when its getting old redescover same old product and love it again with a new feature. You wait long for update from google or huawei? U shoud see samsung users how long they have to wait for an update. Google just confirm speaker suport few month ago. Last year it was just rumoors never confirm. I am just curios how loud is the speaker.

I do believe he is referring to DOZE feature that turns off even ambient mode after a while if it senses it is not worn. OR the wake-up gesture that will be seconded by the "sleep" gesture where you lay your hand next to body and watch is put in ambient/screen off.

Thats the problem. It even turns the display off if you wear the watch.
Actually, I find it pretty neat and it already works for me in the current firmware. When I fall asleep on the couch with my watch on the wrist I wake up with it having display off. The same happens when you leave your watch on the table unattended. It works quite consistently as I never experience this "doze" mode when working at the desk or moving in general.
That's true. I also noticed this a few times when it's just on the desk, it turns off after 2 hours of non-movement

Is the display turned off only when you wear the watch during sleep or is it turned off in general?
I know that the display is turned off after a while when you put the watch on the desk, but that's not new, that's already the case.
Do anyone has a idea when OnePlus 3 will get the Android 7.0?
Every time someone asks about Nougat a small kid trips over in the park and spills ice cream on his brand new t-shirt, now any parent would not want that to happen specially as the ice cream was a double chocolate deluxe with caramel and raisins so for the sake of all the children out there running about with ice creams think of them first.
Every freaking time a new android update comes out. There must always be "that guy" that needs to ask when it comes released for their phone. please, get f*cking patience lol.
