Im excited that it will support widgets.

Sounds cool, we jus gotta wait like 10 years for it to be released

REPOST> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503739

cant waittt im excited ive been waiting 4 this update

Can't wait for all the awesome widgets that will come from this. That was one of the main areas lacking in the builds so far.

How long have we been waiting for this update? Since January 15th?
I guess Google is going to keep teasing us with rumored release dates, release details and screenshots until we wake up one morning to see our phones with an update available. So many noobs will be in a hurry to install it and come crying "I lost my root!"
I see only problems ahead with this. Still... I've bene playing with Haykuro's builds and thus far... I like it. But I don't think that I'll use it until Google releases the official version. But who knows... Haykuro (a 17 year old kid) is starting to make Google look bad.
I say we all thank him by donating his way to MIT!

What update... im already Up to Date... lmao ... check the sig

Haykuro's ROMs are pretty freakin stable. I updated yesterday to 5.0.1G and can honestly say my phone is faster and more stable than it ever has before(even when it had the stock ROM). The only thing I've found that doesn't work is the IM app but then it has the gchat app separate(which does work) and you can always dl Hi AIM, Hi MSN, etc for the others.

I think Google had to release that, after all, there is a 17 year old high school student who made two versions run on the G1, and also customized them by adding a few things from other versions, as well as apps to SD!
I really can't believe that it's a coincidence that they released the beta a day after Haykuro got the most stable versions working!
I expect it will be coming as an official update very soon, or Google is going to look very bad!
Unless I have a huge problem, I'm sticking with Haykuro!

Well now that its official i can say what I've wanted to say for weeks, why on earth are there so many people getting all excited about Haykuro's build? Seems like a total waste of time and space to me now that the real thing is coming and will actually work without flaws. I will wait for JF version. Copy and paste will be sweet!!!

Haykuro's build(at least the 5.0.1G with apps to sd) works beautifully... The only thing I've found that doesn't work better than my phone has ever worked before is the IM app. But that's useless for me since the Gtalk app does work(again, beautifully) and I use Hi AIM and Hi MSN for those services. I have found no flaws that are any more significant than I've had in the JF versions and everything works MUCH better.

Haykuro's builds are indeed awesome and extremely impressive but they're not without their key flaws. A lot of my favourite apps don't function properly or work at all on these builds and the autorotate was so slow I had to turn it off. I still think I'd prefer to stick with 5.0G for now than to switch back to JF 1.42.
I definitely recommend 5.0G for someone looking for the best cupcake experience with root - I definitely wouldn't hold my breath for the OTA release + modded rom with root, it could be awhile and Haykuro's builds are stable enough now (and getting more stable every few days with frequent updates).

You DO realize that the apps that don't work is because they were designed for 1.1 and not 1.5 right? It is no fault of Haykuro's ROMS as they wouldn't work on Google's release either. It's up to the Devs to make them compatible and with the new SDK they can!
Copy and Paste works great in Haykuro's builds: Menu > More > Select Text.

I don't think Google were rushed into anything. The simple fact of the matter is that they are not ready to release yet. I'm running Haykuro's 5.0.1G and I think it works really well, and is pretty much close to production quality, but the point is it isn't yet. Bear in mind it based off of Google and HTCs own builds for the Magic, which it still yet to be released. I'm sure the Magic hardware has been locked down for some months now, so it is the software stack they are waiting on.
The fact that Haykuro has got it out and working for the G1 is a tremendous testament to his skills, and to those who've given him assistance, but it is still based on an unfinished product. At some point, there will be a code freeze and the Magic will be released, and I'd expect to see the official Cupcake build shortly after then. Of course, by the time T-Mobile gets it's hands on to it, they'll probably nerf it into uselessness anyway, so there will still be a need for the Haykuro's/JFs of the community!

Actually, this does make me rather angry. When the G1 was released with p*ss poor Bluetooth support, one of the reasons they gave is that they they had it all working, but they weren't happy with the API and didn't want to "lock it down" as they would have to support this going forward so as not to break any applications developed for the released version of Android in any future revisions.
Now we are seeing new Android versions, and apps are breaking on these versions. I can only assume this is mostly down to changes in the Android APIs.

Dave

com'on man have some patience, or update your phone with haykuro's builds. Look at the fact that what Android 1.5 has it took 2 years for apple to put in iPhone and android 1,5 will be there before iPhone OS 3.0. Palm is still working on stuff we already have.
Android 1 to 1.5 is the fastest development lifecycle we've ever seen. We knew about 1.5( a.k.a cupcake ) because of the fact that Android is opensource and all the world knows whats going on. its not a closed door development scenario like every other major mobile OS.
Just rejoice these facts and feel happy that you have an android phone.

Well, im really glad to finally hear something from google about the Cupcake update. Im currently using the JF 1.42 MOD and its really cool very stable and no issues, and I wouldnt move to the official Cupcake until JF releases his update bcoz I dont want to loose Multi-Touch
Not that its very useful.......but its a nice show off , and gives iphone owners no edge or any other cool features over my lovely G1 ))

June 19, 2009 - Phoenix III: Improving Upon The Best-- SCREENS UP

Phoenix III
"Improving upon the best."
Introduction:
Phoenix has a long-standing reputation of being one of the finest Business-Class ROMs for the HTC Kaiser, while never lacking features for those who need a bit of entertainment. It's been a while since the release of Phoenix II, but we promised you that the wait would be worth it. After months of planning and building a ROM based on user contributions and desires mentioned over at the state-of-the-art Phoenix Development Center, we are proud to present Phoenix III.
Built upon Windows Mobile 6.5, Phoenix III is the fastest Phoenix ROM ever and argubly the most stable. Phoenix is designed by business users, but not just for business users. You will find that, as with every Phoenix version, that we have released a product that can be used on a daily basis very comfortably, and we promise that you'll never want to re-flash again (except to new versions) and if you don't agree, tell us on PDC and we'll make it right to the best of our abilties.
Conditions:
Phoenix III has been an experiment in collaboration, so far to some pretty good results. If you download Phoenix III, we want you to contribute at the Phoenix Development Center. We will not force you to register to download the ROM itself, but any and all bugfix patches will be released ONLY at PDC.
Please, once you register, contribute, by telling us what you would like to see in future versions.

Hi,
I am uploading 3.1...It has the NeoS2007_Driver_Pack_Beta_1 openvg drivers built in. It does NOT have opera since opera is only working right now if installed by a cab file which you can find on pdc.

Congrats
congrats for ANOTHER wonderful rom brothers, im downloading the new release now you guys are great.
heres a theme

Just a suggestion but how about a link over on the PHX 2 thread to help get people here?? Just so they don't have to search through all the other threads in the KRD forum.

Any Screen shots?
Congratulations with the development of Phoenix III. Will you be adding any screen shots of this great ROM soon?
Thanks for all your hard work Dev team.

I just had to log on and say that my first impression of this rom is just amazing. I loved the P II rom but it was sluggish and ran choppy for me. This rom is awesome. Thank you for all of your hard work. I will buy you coffee/beer when I can.

sorry if this is a dumb question but whats stock first?
just a follow up: ive been flashing for about a year and had no idea about doing this.

It's actually an old Hermes trick and actually doesn't really apply to the Kaiser in theory. But we've found that for some odd reason, if you flash the stock ROM first, it seems to help prevent a bad flash with some of these high up build numbers. It could be a placebo effect though.
It worked on the hermes because Hermes was formatted differently.

Means to flash the "stock att/htc" ROM first (it's on the same post on PDC). This ensures that EVERYTHING is cleaned out from other cooked ROMs and provides an stable/consistent based to install the new ROM over. While it's not completely necessary every time we are asking everyone to do it this time that way we can be sure that any bugs are legit and not leftovers from some other ROM (and yes, we've already seen this from people that have NOT flashed the stock...).
So please EVERYONE take the whole 3 min it takes and flash the stock ROM first. Thank You.

Downloading. I hope to see the OpenGL driver with this extension to smooth out the graphics. I cant remember the name off hand but it does amazing thing. Its found in Mbarvians 3.1 Solace ROM.

There's some kind of OpenGL thingymabob that KZI posted at PDC in the addons section for use with the latest opera, grab that, if that's not what you're referring to.

Use OpenVG its an extension for OpenGL. If you use that I will never flash again!

New version of Op sounds pretty sweet too, try it out.

After flashing this last night I've had my File system go bad twice. I thought it had done in my sd card, but upon reflash sd was fine. I don't really know what to make of that, but when i try to lauch programs it will often say somthing about certificates. It won't sync and when i did get to look at the file tree it was all messed up. When i reflashed my sd card was fine, but icontacts refused to see anything.
I did not flash stock, but i never do and i've flashed most of the roms josh has made.
Cabs: openVG addon for opera, opera 9.7 (hells yes), tilt keyboard fix, google maps, and keyboard speed increase.
Any ideas? I loved the rom, but it's crapped out on me twice in a day...

do a stock flash, then a re-d/l and reflash, let it customize, and hard-reset. then tell us if you still have issues.

Like your ROM, but recently I could not open your homepage recently, also could not download your ROM by 4share and media link. I am in China, is there any problem?

Awesome!!
One issue-
I listen to streaming radio all day- Via this link- (saved in my "notes")
http://clearchannel.kicks-ass.org/cc.php?name=WTAM&url=www.wtam.com
It opens Opera, which triggers windows media- and always played all day without a problem on other roms. Not sure if it's this version of Opera, but now, it connects for about 10 seconds, then Opera pops back up & it stops.
Any ideas? Thanks-

Do NOT add the keyboard speed increase or google maps. Both are already built into the rom. Google maps is the most current version already.

This is not helpful. If you want to post a bug, give us details. What keyboard, soft or hardware? What device, tilt or Kasier?
Come on people--what can I fix if you just say it doesn't work correctly. I am betting you have a tilt and didn't install the tilt keyboard fix so your function keys aren't mapped correctly.....

Milkdrop/androp amazing music visualization live wallpaper

AerialX said:
Alright, thanks for the results everyone. I asked because I wanted to decide which framebuffer method would be selected as the default... I decided on the "slow" version - 8bdefb7e - as it's the most compatible option. The "fast" version can be chosen as a preference for those who prefer the speed. It may not work on all devices, and seems to produce artifacts and some tearing, though it probably is preferable for most simply due to the speed.
So, here you go, latest version: Download
Built for ARM and ARMv7, does not include the NEON extensions. You may want to uninstall the old one before installing this.
EDIT: Fine, have a NEON build too: Download
Hint: the main change is the inclusion of settings. I consider this build to be very close to the initial release for the application on the Android Market. Just a few things remain...
What's Left
In order of priority...
Filtering of non-white-screen presets. The app will include the projectM preset library by default, excluding any that just result in a white screen. I don't believe I will be able to distribute any of the Winamp/MilkDrop library itself, as awesome as it is.
Stability enhancements. It's probably still somewhat crashy. I'm not sure how much, though. I'd love to get some detailed reports on how stable/crashy it is for you guys.
snoop() support, otherwise the wallpaper requires 2.3... I don't have anything older though. Would anyone be able to test on an older OS for me if I supplied a build?
x86 support. Means writing a few missing STL pieces.
NEON detection, and the loading of an appropriate optimized library. I get the feeling that this is just a placebo, but will try to get it in.
Optimizations. Would be nice if it didn't essentially restart every time you visit your home screen. I'm probably leaving this for a 1.1 release though.
Localizations. If anyone wants to help translate the settings page into their native tongue, I'll happily include them.
Anything else I forgot...
What I Need
It would be great if anyone who tries it can comment on its stability. Whether it often dies, reverts to some other wallpaper, completely kills your system, or whatever. Just give me your overall experience with the wallpaper. I'm not necessarily interested in hearing about its performance at this point - if it runs slowly on your phone, I suggest switching to the "fast" render method and only using presets that run speedily. Of course, miscellaneous suggestions / comments / criticism are welcome as well!
Another thing I was hoping someone could do is go through all the presets and filter out the bad "white" ones. The new settings page makes it easy to test a single preset at will. So if anyone is willing to do this, I could really use two zips: one containing all working presets from the projectM set, one containing all from the MilkDrop set.
As a base for the projectM set, please use this: Download
For the base MilkDrop set, find the attachment from a few pages ago.
You may also want to note any that run particularly slow, but please don't exclude them from these packages.
EDIT: As a test, feel free to try the exact same preset on both the non-NEON and NEON builds and see if there's any noticeable improvement there.

Quake 2 on Windows RT

Only created my account today, so I don't have enough posts to put this in the developer section. Maybe someone can help me out.
I managed to get the Quake2 source from Ids ftp server to build (with a lot of warnings) for ARM in Visual Studio 2012.
I've attached a screen shot and the binaries to this post.
All you need to do is drop the pak0.pak and players folder into baseq2.
Enjoy!
EDIT: should also mention that this is a native port (not .net or winrt) -- props to XDA guys for the hack!
EDIT2: for those with errors, keep in mind you need the pak files and players folder from the quake2 install for this to work (or you can grab them from the demo). Google is your friend! . If you encounter the famous "water crash" then run "sw_waterwarp 0" in the quake console.
EDIT3: For a joke. I've added the OpenGL Quake2 renderer and a software based OpenGL implementation (built from an older version of Mesa3D) as attachments. Given that Windows RT doesn't have support for OpenGL this is probably as good as its going to get without a port that has Direct3D support. While the OpenGL version looks much better, be warned.. it runs __very__ slow. If you want to give it a try, just go into video options and change the 'driver' option to "default opengl". Enjoy!
EDIT4: So.. in an effort to clean up some of the bugs, I stumbled upon KMQuakeII which has an 'unofficial' 3.23 patch for the Quake 2 source. I've managed to compile that version of the source for ARM. I was hoping this would fix the full screen issues, but it didn't. Regardless, there are probably worthwhile bug fixes anyway.. so I'm posting it here. There are also extra video modes in this version (very easy to add btw!) however the 1366x768 mode didn't work correctly on my Surface.

Well done! Link added to the list. Much appreciated...

cool, seems to run nicely, -just using one core.

At first : Thanks for the work!
But i get an Error :"Couldn't load pics/colormap.pcx
(on Surface Jailbrocken)

I can't manage to open it. It says there is an error.
Another question... I want to do it for Bluestacks. Do you know anyone that could've done this? Thank you.

Make sure you have the pak files and players folder from your quake2 install in the baseq2 folder. If you don't own quake2 then you can grab these files from the quake2 demo install (google for it). Good luck!

Awesome job!
I got mine working smoothly
There is some issues that often when I load saves the game crashed (quake2.exe has stopped working)
I have no idea. Save game works perfectly and start new game works as well.
Looks like this guy back in 2005 have the same problem (except he is using... Amiga?): ht tp://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=17808

Tanks i did not know that ;]
I Will get a Demo right now ans try ist.
Does it work with any Version of quake II ?

Yeah, there could be several bugs in it. This is built straight from iD's source. There are many other 'ports' of quake2 that have encountered and (in some cases) fixed various bugs. Still, its extremely playable even with a few annoying bugs!

I cant get mine to go to full screen.... is this usual behaviour?

Yep. The pure Quake2 source has known issues with full screen on "odd" resolutions. Given the time frame for when Quake2 was developed.. the 1366 x 786 resolution that is common today doesn't make any sense that's why its "not supported". There were some unofficial patches added to Quake2 many years ago to add wide screen support and more resolutions. A lot of people also fixed the problem by just using the OpenGL version (which I could also provide binaries for.. but its _dog_ slow). What I've ported here is the 'software render' which got very little attention once the '3d boom' hit. If I get bored, I may see if I can get full screen working in the software renderer.

Joystick or Xbox Controller?
App is cool and runs well with mouse or keyboard but I have tried joystick and Xbox controller (both recognised by WinRT) and app ignores both. I have turned on Joystick under options.

I didnt get any bugs yet.
But Fullscreen would be nice

Woww this game bring me so many good memories nice work!!!

Same here. 800x600 is the best resolution to me..
Btw can you load your saves after close the game and restart it?

For what its worth, I've updated the original post with 'newer' binaries and software based OpenGL support. The fullscreen thing is also bothering me so I'll put some effort into that over the next couple days -- hopefully its been fixed in a different Quake2 port and I just need to migrate the code over. Cheers!

If you don't mind me asking where did you get the source files from? I would have done this two days ago but I couldn't open the project files from id's github. I then tried quake 3 and doom 3 but getting those working is a different problem entirely. Those games have inline assembly in them that I don't have the skill to replace.

The source came straight from ftp.idsoftware.com. There is a lot of pain in getting a working vs2012 solution file and convincing the source that Win32 does not imply x86! Many issues with libs and older CRT functions too. Just takes time, patience and good experience with VS & C code.
You're absolutely right about Q3 or Doom3. They will require an overhaul and will need to be ported to Direct3D10+. Sadly I don't have the spare time to get _that_ involved -- though I'm happy to help if someone wants to lead the charge.
Cheers

Game crashes sometimes when I try to load a saved game. Also performance is far from what I expected. I remember playing it on my Nokia n95 with software renderer and it was fluid, on surface higher resolutions cause serious performance degradation. The more I use desktop apps ported to Windows RT(quake, dosbox) the more I think that tegra 3 suck.

[APP][4.0+] #NoChromo - A wild ad-blocking browser appears [v51.0.2695.0][2016/04]

Once upon a time the lord Google releaseth teh Chrome, and the people marvelled in great wonder. Never before could they partake in so many internets in so little time.
Yet even then, the ceiling of lolcats/hour was quickly reached, for the pages were blinky and full of distractions, and the leeching of bandwidth delayed any reactions. Viagra! Cialis! Which button to button to download the download? What happened next will amaze you.
Reinforcements arrived in the form of extensions, blocking ads and performing malware prevention. Alas, as usual the exploits of the big and resourceful are no help at all to the friend in your hand.
Solutions abound. Proxies. Jailbreaks. None sanctioned by the ever-controlling and -vengeful bohemoth.
Here I present you with yet a different take on the problem, because I love you internet... #NoChromo
Err, what?
Right! This is nothing more than a modified build of Chromium (which recently saw a lot of sources from Chrome for Android added). It offers some built-in ad- and malware-blocking.
Note that it doesn't attempt any hiding of ad-sections, so you may be presented with blocks of empty space (or containing errors).
This is not a port of any existing ad-blocking plugin for 'grown-up' Chrome, it's just a quick reimagining of some of the parts. Sooner or later Chrome for Android will get extension support for a truly proper adblocker, I hope sooner.
FAQ
Reimagining?
It's coded in C++ and compiled directly into Chromium (a handful of ms per request, total memory use about 3mb), but it only covers URL manipulation at this time. It doesn't modify page content (remove/hide ad blocks), nor does it keep track of the type of request (some ad blockers do this for improved blocking).
vs hosts-based blocking, AdBlock Plus, uBlock?
Resource-wise it's as lean as host-based blocking, but its blocking is much finer grained than hosts-based, and doesn't require root. It does still lose from (desktop) ABP and uBlock in ad-blocking capacity, but uBlock isn't available on Android and I'm not a fan of ABP's methods (neither the technique of their Android solution nor their philosophy). So I'd put it squarely in the middle between hosts-based and the better known extensions.
What are the drawbacks?
Google did state the current Android source for Chromium is missing some codecs and other proprietary stuff. I haven't run into anything major, but you certainly might.
Will you support this?
Not officially, no. I built this for me, and it works on the sites I frequent. I'm just sharing it here so you can use it if you want to, or not if you don't. I may update it to newer sources once every while, or I might not. If it doesn't work for you on some site, just open it with regular Chrome.
That being said, it seems the Chromium source is not updated all that often, so if I update this once every few months you still wont be far behind. Not to mention that the sauce for my modifications are actually in the download folder, so you could build your own update if you wanted to.
And you are?
A dev from here on XDA who doesn't want his main account publicly associated with this, because I don't want to deal with possible retaliation from Google. Some of the site leadership know who I am, though. If this were malware, they'd take it down instead and tell everyone. If you don't want to trust me, sauce is available. If you can guess or know who I am, kindly STFU.

Force closes on my Droid RAZR xt912 which is Lollipop 5.1.1 which has a Ti Omap 4430 32bit Arm-A9, works on my Galaxy s3 which is also Lollipop 5.1.1 so I thought it might just not work on Lollipop but maybe its just Ti Omap is just too outdated?

Works and does what it says on the tin on my Xperia Z2 (ARM32 version)and it's taken a long time to get something like this.
