Hey, Im pretty new to this forum so please be gentle!
I have made a search on the forum a few times, and had a look if I could see this specific questions posted anywhere else, and I couldnt. If anyone does see this, please feel free to link me and I will read all the posts.
I did read through the forum discussion of Galaxy S2 V Galaxy Nexus, but I just had a particular question.
I want a new Android phone, and I like the look of both of these (slightly prefere the GS2, as it has expandable storage).
Basically, I am a student studying Software Engineering and we are working on Java. I want to be more employable and teach myself more, and I enjoy programming so...
I basically want the best phone for someone who wants to develop android apps, and just wondered what everyones suggestion here would be.
If there are different phones to the ones I have suggestion, please tell me.
Thanks in advanced for all your help!

Easy. Three words. Samsung Galaxy Nexus! It IS a developer phone, and it also has a large dev community already. I can promise you it will not be a bad decision.

Thanks for the answer!
What exactly do you mean by a developer phone? Because its stock android?
this phone is maintained by google. this is why is a dev phone ;-)
Dev 1 should be the best for begginers, GNexus should be best for whole devs. But because of density and ICS-GB-FY uncompability, you should get more than 1 phone

Id love to, but I can only afford one. Galaxy S 2 is easily in budget and is 32gig, where as the Nexus isnt and is only 16gig But I imagine most people would agree its better for devs...
Edit: Dev 1 says its been replaces bu the Nexus series...so guess that answers my question
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Which ROM (2.2 android) is better for HTC Hero? - fast & stable .. please help
Wow dude. That was like the worst first post you could ever post here at the development forum.
First of all, this is development. There is a Q&A section for this. And what the "best" rom is......it depends on what you want. Try 'm out and see for your self which suits you best.
Not trying to be a d*ck but nobody can really answer this. Different persons like different roms.

Fair point. I agree that sometimes people get forums wrong (for example if a question is ambiguous as to where it should go). But seriously, this is no way development related.
Its an unanswerable question, unless more specifics are given (what you want the rom for). even then itd be diffucult to recommend one. theyr al good in their own way
Admin: move this thread pleeease
Moved to Q&A as not development, and closed as this is something only you can decide, as per the usual procedure for this type of post.

Welcome aboard!
There is something that you can do, since there already is a new forum for the Skyrocket
phones perhaps you can guide all the Skyrocket people and threads to the Skyrocket forum
so we do not have close to 1/2 of the threads & posts here dealing with the Skyrocket phone.
Thanks in advance!
Thank you for taking the time to keep an eye on things in this forum. The Infuse forum was "cranky", to say the least. Not much drama in this forum. I hope it stays that way

Congrats on the promotion
Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself, I'm new in this forum, my nexus S got stolen and my ATTSGS2 is comming all the way from Illinoi to Costa Rica... I will hopefully get it some time between dec 10th and 15th! Nice to "know" you and everyone. Greetings and happy holidays to the whole forum n_n.
Could someone put this in the unnamed thread because I dont feel like posting crap 10 times with 5 mins inbetween just to tell gtg465x that:
1: half of the notification ringtones are louder than the other half
2: when you flash CRT screen off animation update, it breaks Ice Cream Sandwich animations.
Thank you
not a noob
Good one "Austin".
Love those movies.
Red, Entropy's kernel thread needs some serious cleaning up. I don't mean to be a prick but the development board is for people that have A) read everything relevant to the thread they're posting in and B) are educated in whatever they are posting about in the relevant thread and C) aren't asking for stuff for different phones (ie ROMs and kernels).
Entropy and GTX's threads are clusterfucks right now with people whining, not posting helpful stuff for the developers, rather just saying "mah device ain't working right!" and other such crap. I think the devs want a helpful community, not a bunch of whiners.
Thanks.

Hello all!
I recently joined the Android ranks after being an iPhone user for years. I love the community here and the SGS2 is a serious beast. I have no regrets leaving the bosom of Jobs
Hi everyone,
I am a galaxy fit s5670 user, running android 2.3.4
Unfortunately, samsung won't be officially releasing ics for my device...
But the whole of galaxy fit users on xda are really hoping that some devs would try and port this for our device...we had personally contacted a lot of devs for this, but none seem to be up for the challenge...
Another phone, samsung galaxy min s5570, which comes really close to our device in terms of hardware has devs attempting it, but the few devs we have for our device are busy due to their own reasons...
So, I want to ask all the knowledgeable devs out there, can you PLEASE port this for our device???
You will also find many testers for your alpha and beta version of the rom, who would readily take the risk, and give you feedback/bug reports also...
Also, even if you can just port some other roms, that would also be appreciated...
Head on over to the device forum and make an announcement, if you are willing to attempt this poet!!!
Help in making android an enjoyable experience for all...merry christmas, in advance

Sorry didn't know about that...thought that it should come under software development coz we needed devs...so thank you for moving it to the correct sub-forum...
Umm, on a different note, are you a dev???
And, ppl have started trying to port ics to my device...but still others are encouraged to make/port roms for this device...
m with you
Just look at the overwhelming positive response that this thread has received so far...
Hey guys:fingers-crossed:
Last summer I found this forum and had alot of fun with my Xperia Pro
Now I am looking for new phone, its been 4 months and still spending too much energy to find my perfect phone..
So, which from these phones u think is best to buy?
s2, s3 mini, s advance, optimus black, one S, xperia sola, arc S
It also need much-very much development
Thanks!
Why is this in S2 Q&A. Belongs in Android General (I'm asking mods to move it because I know you're going to argue the point & won't do it yourself).
Honestly xperiap, your not going to get valid buying advice here. Users are biased to their handsets. Best bet is to go down to your nearest retailer and try as many of there as you can. Then you can make a judgement on what you think.
Thread Closed.
Also while I'm here. Posts such as these, do not help users, they come across negatively. If your not going to help someone, don't post.

Unfortunately I cannot find any support for this this phone and I may pick one up tomorrow. Is there a thread I can't find or is there any devs working on this phone? As a chronic screen wrecker and girlfriend not checking the pockets guy, i'm a little concerned. S4 or S4 active? Not sure I want active with out devs here!
2 things:
phones dont instantly get forums here unless its some big new whoop like s3, htc one, s4 etc.
Did you see this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2332923
Google is your friend.
Secondly questions go in q&a not in general section.
Device specific ?'s should be asked in there respective forum.
I would hang out in the s4 forums for now. Its bound to get dev support its based off the s4.
I have asked a moderator to move this thread for you. Oh and welcome to xda.
