Hello,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I can't post in the Software Development forum just yet (10 posts rule).
I'm porting a game from iOS to Android. Going very well, just a small issue with the touch inputs; they feel quite sluggish and slow to respond.
Someone mentioned about having different threads for UI and for touches. I'm not sure (still new to Android). What's the best way to go about things on Android, in terms of threading?
My game is fast to update, typically 60FPS etc.
Many thanks,

Hi All!
Do we need a sub forum for Linux / Android development for the HT2 now? The old thread in the HD2 ROM development sub forum is starting to become very cluttered. The amount of topics discussed in that single thread could definitely benefit from being split in many separate threads. I guess the information will be easier to find and the amount of "stupid" questions reduced.
I understand the need for cleaning up some of the sub forums here on XDA (that is actually the reason for this post), but I don't think moving thread out of their context is a good idea. The question asked in my post relates heavily to the ongoing development for the HD2, and will not get the right attention in the Q&A sub forum. People interested in (or having an opinion about) splitting Linux and WinMo ROM development does not frequently browse the Q&A forum.
This post is not of that type where I'm interested in getting a single clear and cut answer. The reason for posting the question is to hear peoples opinion, and maybe getting a discussion going regarding the subject. If I'm not totally wrong, discussion is what the other sub forums are for, right? If we are not allowed to ask questions in other forums than the Q&A, how are we suppose to be able to discuss and debate then?
Could any MOD pleas consider moving the thread back to a forum where the question would have a fair chance of getting some qualified feedback?
YES

100% with you , it will lessen the clutter and make the project look even more serious !!!
I don't think they're far enough along to really need a whole subforum for it. Maybe once we get a halfway usable version of android in a couple months, but for now I think the one thread is enough. I mean, how many different threads could be made for it right now? All we have is a bootable android with no drivers so far, so there's not many different things or subjects that could be made into threads right now.

I agree. Once the wheels are in place and we have workable drivers, then creating a subforum would be ideal.

Well, then we disagree
I think it should be locked so only the guys working on it can post

Right now one thread is fine, but when things begin to get underway we will need another subforum for alternate OSes for the HD2.

NO WAY is it fine take a look in there now and look how many pages been posted asking the same crap in like 40 mins n00b retards
maybe something like this could work in the future:
---HTC HD2 Android
--------------------Information (locked forum)
--------------------Questions
--------------------APPS & tweaks
No use the wiki for the android project not more forums
answer:No, I'm fine with the single thread in HD2 ROM dev sub forum.

i would be fine if it were a single thread, but it isn't, people are starting threads every few minutes 'why cant android run' 'how to install android' 'help, bluescreen' and on and on and on.

i agree 100% , of the 2898 posts there are probably 800 posts " i get a black screen "
Its all about whats hot now
6 months ago alot of posts were when is android going to be working on Hd2?
a month ago nearly all the posts were new cookie clocks
now there all blue screen, once its fixed and more stable releases are brought out the posts about this will drop down and the next new thing will be flooding the boards. its all about whats hot at the moment and in the future android wont be the hot'st thing
Hi to all.
What do you think about separate Android roms from WM ???
Is it possible to make a new thread in HD2 section sticked for always ?
Everyone could have this what he need .
Anyone think it's a goog idea ?
For example :
HD2 ANDROID ROM Development ?
Well the real problem right now is that there is no true Android ROM. Yes you can run Android but till it's flashed to the actual phone like you would with a WinMo ROM it's not a ROM.
then name it just "HD2 ANDROID Development"
it would be great if there is an own android section
i agree! all Android Dev together
Yeah set it up like they have in the rhodium forum.
enough threads already exist full of spammers...one more?
why not call it "spam here if u want for hd2 android development"
I think it would work out great having another spot for Android. Soon most people will be running Android on the HD2 anyway. Makes sense
+1
this ended up being a huge help for the development on the TouchPro2 (Rhodium). Someone got mods to create a new forum and then they took the liberty of re-organizing all the builds and kept up with the development and its still running nice and neat.
I think this would be a great idea for the HD2, it is about as far along as it can get now and is already attracting more attention. No need to clutter up the WinMo ROM development forums
+1 Also
This made the HD1 forum better with a separate sub-forum for Android.
What I also think would be a good idea in ALL the forums really is a dedicated ROM release forum where ONLY roms can be posted and no general questons etc. That way you could cycle through the rom list without it been swamped with lots of other posts.
i agree, a subforum dedicated to this imortant issue (android on HD2) would be very useful for the general order of the forum according to me.
the android builds are beeing created and updated everyday (thanks to all the developers) but only two 3ds (in different subforums!) exist...
I found finding info about Andorid confusing so please separate in another forum.
+1 I love this idea.
i sign this good idea +1
+1 For a new subforum for HD2 Android development.
+1 its really necessary

+1 on both ideas !
+1 from me too never got into android for the tp2 but now i have got bored of win mo on hd2 i am enjoying playind with android
+1 here too. It would make life so much easier (and would get rid of people asking for it )
I dunno. There are only really a couple of threads that are relevant, and you can keep up to date with progress on the irc channel.
I seem to be keeping up ok by READING and SEARCHING.
+1 from me, it would make keeping track of things easier, assuming people read what's there instead of posting crap!
Hello all
I'm starting to develop android applications instead of iPhone apps. One thing I. have noticed is a fairly substantial lack of active community forums for development questions.
I plan on being a pretty frequent flier here but im also looking for other forums. androidcommunity.com comes up most frequently in searches but they are lucky to have a few posts a day.
Can any of you point tlme to other blogs/forums that are very active? I've purchased a couple books and made a few small programs so far but want to launch into a few more ambitious appear and games and need more info!!
thanks for any and all help here.
Hey guys. I know I may be a noob but I've been doing android development for the past 3 years and following your forum for quite some time.
Now that ICS is out and there are quite a few developers building roms for it, why not separate the the forum into ICS roms and gingerbread roms? It seams a lot more sensible and organized to me than organizing by android development and original android development.
Any thoughts?
Been asked probably half a dozen times over the past few months & the answer has been no every time. As to the why of that, search for those other threads & you'll see a moderator or two explain.
In a nutshell if you have not read the stickie .
Android development
One Original development
Two Not Original development takes bits from others and stick them in a rom and usually heavily themed .
Eventually GB development will die off so that's going to be a dead forum .
What the point really just like the OP posted in the wrong section .

I understand the difference between original development and non-original development but at the end of the day they're both ROMs for the same phone and the same software version of Android.
The big differences come between android versions. I think in terms of organisation it makes a lot more sense to organise forums by what users will be interested in finding and I believe people are more interested in which version of android a rom is running rather than if its an original development or not (not that this isn't interesting by itself but versions are more interesting imho).
As for it becoming a dead forum later, I think everything eventually dies as technology advances, not just roms but the phone models themselves so sooner or later all forums will be replaced by newer ones.

Your suggestions would be fair enough if this was a users forum. But as it's a developers forum, the way it's setup now works just fine.
hello all;
i'm a frequent user and supporter of the site, and i have to say i love the site and the people here.
now to more pressing matters i'm trying to find resources and read more and more about linux android development (completely got rid of windows by now ) IT'S USELLESS!!!! to me after a few months of constant linux use. yes linux takes some time, before you figure things out but it's a great OS.
anyways, i've looked in the general developers forum section, and there is just SO many ways that people say you should start (from scratch) and one is contradicting the other (sometimes).... so here is the actual question to the experienced developers out there... where do you guys start ?
little background:
basic C & C++ knowledge
some java.
(i used to tinker mostly with hardware before i dug into android)
any suggestions ??... which guides, sites ?, classess ?? any and all advice appreciated. and i hope it's ok to post this here, and if it's not (mods i'm sorry).
thanks.

I don't think this particular project is active anymore, but I have been meaning to check out the Coding Green Robots series myself:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/coding-green-robots/videos
I think if you have a specific problem with a project you are working on, people on XDA will help you. For a general intro, I think a book would be the best. Also, don't forget about the Android developer website. There's a training section, including "Building your first app": http://developer.android.com/training/basics/firstapp/index.html
