Free Firefox OS device - Firefox OS General

Hi guys I saw somewhere that if I build apps for the firefox os I will get a geeksphone keon for free.So I am going to start app development if this is true.

You'd be abusing that opportunity if all you want is a free phone out of it. That offer is there for developers who need official Firefox OS hardware to perform hardware tests on their application they are developing which can't be accurately tested via a SDK such as Camera, GPS or NFC capabilities.
If you are interested in App development for Firefox OS then I suggest you test your apps via the Firefox browser on your PC using this addon:

You maybe are right but I don't want the device for nothing.I want it because I want to test some apps that I coded which can't be tested via Simulator or something.It needs real hardware so a real device.And if you don't know I hate making something just to get something free.I make apps,ROMs or kernels just because I love Android and everything around of it.No offense and as I said before you have right but first make sure for the personality of someone or just stop telling b*ll****s.Sorry for my bad words but this is how I felt when I read this!

good luck with that

You are right, I did get a Geeksphone Peak for free (or for developing app for them).
But that was at an hackathon that a company here arranged, so you might have to find one of those.

silverlight is a microsoft product, if microsoft doesnt choose to make a version for android then you are out of luck. what i would suggest is to vnc into a desktop and then watch the jerky unwatchable video through that =)
Funny, I'm still waiting for silverlight with full drm support for linux. Android was based off of linux. So all I can tell you is keep waiting for microsoft to port it over. BTW, no dev I know is going to touch a microsoft branded software.

Search on the market, there are lots of client + an official one from the VNC team. You install a server on your computer, configure the connection, and that s ok.

yeah signed up for the beta long ago when they showed this at CES and from what i've gathered here in the main android forum, no one new has gotten into the beta at all.
sucks just need ot release the thing or invite more ppl in the beta, or least give an update. you delay too long and you will be forever playing catchup to the newer OS's

[Q] Req: App Like Everyday Looper from IPhone

I would like to know if there is a app like Everyday looper for or Android devices.
I have been searching for it quit some time now but i cant seem to find a app that can do the same thing.
I phone app everyday looper :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzQLRPwZjIo
WOW!!!! It´s amazing... Nothing similar for Android at this moment, I believe..
I really like the idea of that app and many others do also.
I just don't gone buy a iphone for 1 app i like. (not that i want to buy a iphone anyway)
Looks like fun. Shouldnt be too hard to create... lets see the power of xda developers!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
someone go!!
I just find a app that can do the same thing as everyday looper but its far from optimized. It has a huge lag and no setting menu.
So can some dev take a look at it and tell me the possibilities if some dev would be interested in making such a app( i am willing to donate for that)
Closest thing i know if is reloop but i dont think you can use the mic in it
I'd pay for an app like this. Really good.

And reloop is not "on the fly" frendly I.m.o.
The men who made everyday looper is not planning to make a version for android because it has many type of resolutions and androids latencys is not that good. But thats What was last year June.
It seems that the men is a "iphone app only fan" with Al respect for the program it self.

Port everyday looper Android
No not really any news on this item yet.
But i hope there is still someone that can make this possible for android.
or at least try to tell why this is not possible for android.
The specs of the new generations android phones are way better than from the Iphone so I don't understand why this suppose to be and stay a Iphone/Ipad app only program.
I found an app called loopstamatic that seems to do something similar to Everyday Looper. It's still in beta and only supports 3 channels.
Thanks I will try it and report later.
No good luck for me. when I am trying to download and install it on my phone it just stop downloading and nothing happens. So I can not test de program.
I am trying to try installing it with a new android rom and will report back again.
Comes close, fun to play with. Not as good as every day looper though. Missing some features I would like there.
Good find nonetheless, thnx

Good thing is,Windows 8 will be open-source, and rumor of the mill on G4 is that the Xbox 720 will be on Windows 9 and will be 'connected' with its desktop, and phone counterparts. My speculation is that while Windows Phone may be closed source for now, that's soon going to change.

He knows its an android forum. That's why he asked us WHY DO WE PREFER ANDROID OVER WINDOWS.
If you're gonna try to make a fool of someone, cover your bases first.
On-topic, I actually prefer windows mobile to android. Windows Mobile was so customizable and had a lot of options at your fingertips. I was TORN upgrading from my bbcurve cuz I couldn't decide if I wanted the TP2 or the Hero but I settled for the hero because of the camera.
Now its no contest. Windows Phone 7 is so ****ing stupid and limited compared to windows mobile.
Android is the only thing close to the functionality of windows mobile but its still not quite there yet

Good one. After my treo pro I was done with any windows phone. One more thing I realized being on xda and other forum that people have a need to troll. I'm also a member of the gamefaqs forum where trolling is not tolerated at all you troll on there you may as well delete your account because they will do it for you. That's why I don't bother feeding trolls unless they are looking to personally disrespect me. Android rules

^This. Looked great, advertised heavily, slow as hell and didn't even get a WinMo 6.5 update. I was pissed. Stock Android is almost always pleasant to use and the phones are normally well-built.

Sent from my hoe. Forgive the typoes; it's an Epic.
WP7 might be good for people who doesn't want to deal with troubleshooting their phone, i.e. non-tech savvy people. It actually has nice UI and I heard it gives refreshing experience to people who are exhausted with iOS and/or android. I like its zune style music app. I am actually frustrate with Android music player. Default one looks soooo outdated. I want something real nice like iOS's coverflow or WP7's zune for android out of the box. Don't want to pay extra money buying music apps. Also there are no good music apps that work flawlessly with the lock screen.
Again, WP7 has less apps and porting is slower. I think it doesn't have Skype yet but will have Tango soon. Also it doesn't have free tethering. All the good things about android such as rooting, installing unique apps like call recorder, roam control, PRL flashing, free GPS navigation, decluttering unnecessary carrier apps, etc. are not possible.
Personally, I would like to try Lumia 800 if I wasn't in contract with Sprint.
I went with Android mainly because it is not Windows, and I hate Windows.
I've been working with Windows for almost 20 years(wow, feeling old) and its just one thing after another when it comes to bugs.
I would have went with an IPhone if it had a slide-out keyboard. Android was the only alternative in my books, since Palm blew chunks with the Pre. I had a 755P Palm OS phone forever, before trying the Pre and then going to the Moment.

ROM's for Tab 4 7.0?

Some devs don't have interest in the device. Plus it's hard to make a custom rom for the device due to the Marvell processor

Thats ****ty, so if I can find a dev to gauge interest in this device that's only the first step?
What about that processor makes it hard to develop a ROM..?
Thanks!

Every processer is different. If a dev knows a certain one and owns the tablet, they can make a ROM. For example the tab s has exynos processors. Few developers know the proccesor really well that they can develop a rom/kernel without owning the device. Depends on source, and some other stuff idk lol
Hmm lol.. just seems strange that not 1 person is successful in doing so... if i knew what to do, id try it out.. this device would be wayyyy better with a custom rom to play with!
