Sorry, I thought you wrote quad core processor

My neo x5 is in the mail to arrive tod a y!!! Im excited. Ill be checking back for tips soon. I got a g4 last week and was so happy i ordered the neo. I havent yet put jelly bean on and the g4 works fairly well as is. The one disadvantage is the lack of a soft power off. I found a solution to this. Just go into settings and turn off the wiifi. Then power down w the remote. Then as soon as the light goes off turn power strip off.
If you dont do this, the thing reboots instantly and you lose wifi settings and have to do a factory reset to get it back. Im afraid to leave it powered on because there have been reports of overheating. Hopefully i can power it off without screwing it up once i update to jellybean. And hopefully the x5 will be a bit more functional.
Cheers
Vickie
Ps im coming from a roku and lgst600. So even with the power off issues of the G4.....it is still a winner in comparison.

Its the graphics card that is quad core. It streams 1080 p video like a dream. The g4 is a lot of fun. Once i have my x5. Ill start playing around with the g4s software. For the price that g4 beats all the other smart tv boxes i have seen

I bought 2 X5s and both are working well.
Initially I tried them with the RC11 remote but I find it way better with a cordless keyboard & mouse.
It does have some bugs but for the price it's great value, and those bugs are getting fixed from pretty good Minix support.
How's the website going dincdoes.me ?

Its going great thank you for asking 500 plus members and growing. Not that we dont like xda at all its just easier to have a forum just for the 2 minix devices.
Minixforums dot com is the site i see other forums posted on the threads here and our site doesnt break any xda rules we pretty much use the same rules.
Hope to see you guys their great for questions and apps that work.

XBMC for Android

I was reading today that the source code for XBMC has been made available to compile an APK.
What's your thoughts on this?
I have to say this should be great.

Thats a shame. I would have loved to give it a whirl. Any news on if there is going to be any Dev on XDA for the TF101?
If so maybe set up a new thread with all the info needed to compile the APK.

Having the sound issueś aswell and can´t find the option in XBMC to edit sound levels.
Also is anyone having issue´s with force close. I don´t know if it is a JellyBean issue of if it is because of the early stages the app is still in.
But great work on getting it working :good:
I only just heard of xbmc a few weeks ago and now i have the pleasure of trying this. I can confirm that this works too, but im having a bit of trouble with some unpleasant stuttering for some avi files. anyone get this running flawlessly for them, or have newer update(s)?

Video works fine, I have no sound on tv streams (icefilms, 1channel etc), force closes at random times and an occasional flickering of the screen other then that XBMC itself is looking great I always thought the XBMC interface would work well with a touchscreen device and it does!

Well, yup. The time has also come for me to leave this nice, cool and awesome community and move to another. The best part of all is that I'm not "moving" far away - I still bought a Sony phone, simply because they are awesome.
So yeah, I bought an Xperia S for a few personal reasons:
- I stopped using the PSP controls for games simply because I got bored of these advanced games (so now I casually play simple games like Angry Birds, Little Alchemy and Temple Run)
- As I aged a little bit and advanced further into studies I realised I need another kind of phone, one that should satisfy my needs *as XPlay did for one year and a half* (good digital camera replacer, better specs, more internal space, FM radio and a few others) - I know that XPlay can still be used as a multimedia phone, but I just feel I need something else
- I heard Xperia S will receive Nexus-like updates in the future - well, considering I wanted to buy a Galaxy Nexus before I heard these news just for this matter, consider it another reason
Well, there could be a few other reasons, but these are the mose essential. It was nice to meet you all, I must give a big thanks to developers and a few other users who made this phone from awesome to extraordinary! Thanks for eveything and have fun with your phone even further.

Oups, sorry for mentioning Angry Birds, it was only an example.
I bought Xperia S because I like the design, the camera, the screen and also because I bought it at a limited offer.
All I could say is that I still miss my XPlay, but life moves on, and I needed a different kind of phone.

All the people hate me, but thats normal.
You should change your sig. It's a bit depressive and it's incorrect. "All the people" DO NOT hate you. I think what it is, is that sometimes you post sarcastic answers that don't really help or benefit anyone. Some of your posts are fine and constructive whilst others aren't, which is what i think people don't like. I think your recent downloading RAM thread has examples of this. Don't mean to offend you.

Same! I was thinking about putting emulators on the PSVita I'm getting for Christmas... But I kinda want to be able to use the PSN so I can play PSO2 when it comes out. I still have my old LG Vortex in hand too.
I'm going to be honest, I LOVE the design of Sony Ericsson phones, but I don't wanna have to pay again to unlock another phone's bootloader. I want to have a nice, non-slide, phone that can flash kernels for free.

apparently I am not allowed to post links, but google "zdnet ubuntu phone 5 things" will fill you in on what we know so far. Follow the first link.
what I know personally, Ubuntu tries to keep new deployments as quiet as possible but relies on an open source dynamic for development. If you have a high end Android phone, there is a good chance you will be needed (unofficially) for the initial builds. Anyone with a dual core android phone packing 1gb ram will be (unofficially) included in the "beta" testing phase.
Essentially, if you can compile it yourself, you are guaranteed a front row seat. If you cant, but pay attention, you will still be on board.

Canonical has detailed the system requirements for smartphones running Ubuntu. The “entry level” Ubuntu device is expected to run a 1GHz Cortex A9 processor, 512MB – 1GB of RAM, 4-8GB eMMC + SD, and a multi-touch display. The high-end Ubuntu “superphone” calls for a Quad-core A9 or Intel Atom processor, 1GB of RAM minimum, multitouch, and desktop convergence. The desktop convergence part certainly sounds interesting, as Canonical called it a “a full PC desktop accessible just by docking the device to a monitor and keyboard.”

I've got an n7000, and am keen to work on a port when the source code hits. Never done it before though, and am keen for some advice.
After the source code hits, what's the best place to go to learn about porting the code to our n7000?
I appreciate any advice you have, particularly with any links. I'm familiar with the linux commandline, file system structure, flashing my phone, ubuntu servers and desktop Ubuntu in general. Haven't played around with compiling kernels much before, but happy to start. Am running Ubuntu 12.04 on an XPS 13 ultrabook for my dev machine.

Now people will find out why Samsung is such a ***** to work with. Android was a different ballgame cause there where plenty of devs working on Exynos based SoC devices and things could be patched up relatively quick. No documentation for Exynos is gonna rear it's ugly head this time. TI OMAP was the most dev friendly SoC out there and Qualcomm is workable too. Tegra and Exynos are garbage

Its honest though. To get it working properly may well be impossible. Its part of the reason cyanogen still doesn't support mhl on Samsung's. Also its a little early to ask for advice on porting when no one has experience with this code yet. Sorry to pee on your cornflakes, give it a week and we'll all know more.

Source code is out and the porting guide will be out tomorrow. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
It's based on the AOSP android Kernel and drivers. So porting it for the Note should be pretty easy. They went with the same approach as Firefox did. I might even give this a try myself.
For anyone else that will attempting this port or that of Firefox os , build against Cyanogen source and not the Samsung one.
It is actually based on Cyanogen mod and not AOSP.

(XPRT) Who's up for some development? :D

Alright. Well I know everyone around here has been eager for a REAL custom ROM for the XPRT. I'm gonna start working on CyanogenMod 10 or 10.1 or whatever. But heres my background. I'm an 18 year old high school student on my senior year with not so good grades at the moment in math and economics. I don't exactly go to the best school, I'm unemployed, and I live in a group home. So I don't exactly have lots of time and resources on my hands. Enough about me. What I'm really here for is to ask for a team of people. Whether you want to be a future developer, you like computers, you like potatoes, whatever. I need some people to collaborate with me.

Sum me up, I can/am willing to help!
Speaking of linux, I am certainly not well-versed, but can find my way around it.
I have a fairly decent notebook and a fairly decent desktop, that will be glad aswell to help.

First things first. Look into Ubuntu and 64 bit processing and see if your computer has one!

should we must use 64 bit of UNBUNTO?
Sent from my MB612 using xda app-developers app
Yes, you have to use the 64 bit version.
I am willing to help. I have a some knowledge with Linux and all that. I am willing to learn more.
I am running Ubuntu 64 bit with an i3 processor and 8 GB of ram. I dont have much disk space, because 1, my hard drive is only 120 GB, and 2, I am dual booting with windows. so i have about 20 gb with ubuntu.

I have been reading up on android development for the past day, ive gone to the links you have provided and downadloaded the kernel, just been doing random things to teach myself. just give me somewhere to start out and i will do my best to help.
i dont go to school, i only have a part time job right now, but i do have a girlfriend, so she takes up most of my time.. so i will have a good amount of time usually late at night or for part of a day, usually mornings, to work on this.
HEy bro!

Ubuntu 64 bit version and those links are a good starting place I suppose.

Alright dude lol and btw the razr maxx is one hell of a phone. So development is plentiful. And of course we can upload a custom kernel. Just gotta build one. Either way the stock already does it job on ics.

Get to know Ubuntu. I personally suggest 12.04. Ubuntu is Linux. Android is Linux. The more you learn in Ubuntu is quite useful in every other Linux powered device in the world. And trust me. There's more and more of them every day. I hope you find Linux just as amazing as I do!

There´s ubuntu phone OS coming sometime soon even....
yes, you got to learn your way around, but it is as easy and frustrating as using a mac when youre used to windows...just be patient, you´ll get the things done, but in a different way
,So blackfire, so how is that custom kernel uploaded? I remember when I used to own the def+, the only way to upgrade the kernel was modding the GB one to get some features working (battery and hw acceleration) on CM10.
Oh yeah, the Ubuntu for phones OS looks cool. I was hoping someone here might be interested in porting it once it becomes good enough to use as a daily driver.

I'm not too sure. As I've said, I can't work on this myself yet still. But from what I know, using the stock kernel as a base you can rebuild using things like linaro and whatnot. Kernel development is no easy task.
