So I'm finally converted to a Mac fan boy....happy days!
Wondering though - in order to keep flashing my HSPL cracked Leo, can I do it under a virtual install of Windows (using something like VirtualBox or VMware)...or is this ludicrous and you think it should only be done on a dedicated physical Windows machine?
I'l assuming there's absolutely no way to flash these things directly from Mac OS-X ?
Cheers
not as far as i know. I know there is an htc flashing program for linux, and that might work in macos x (as i know you can install linux programs in mac os if you set it up right) but last time i tried, htc flasher wouldnt work with the htc hd2
your best bet (as far as reading on here has mentioned in the past) would probably be using bootcamp or similar to run a dual boot setup.
certainly that's the only way hspl works, , flashing "may" work in a virtual box, though i think when the phone jumps to bootloader it may be a problem.

thanks guys for the time to respond...believe it or not this does help..unlike these banner adds that keep dropping down over the text area preventing me to type an expansive response. Can some one please be put down for this decision...? Theres so many better alternatives to advertising. If nobody can find an alternative advertising strategy then this is the death of xda. Think smart y'all...COMPLAIN HARD!!!!!!

little off topic but a simple ad blocker will sort that for you.........
Well, I searched around here, And failed to find any relevant info, I'm looking for some thing fun to do with my old HTC Dream G1. I was wondering if there's any way to emulate DSL on it, if theres a VM or way to run it.
I'm also looking for any other creative Idea on what to do with the old thing.
Atm its running CGen 4, But I would like to use it as a small desktop os device or find some sort of creative use for it, figure DSL would be best because of the limited ram the device has, Even if its just a live boot.
Any advise or instructions or links that would help?
Google didn't find much other wise I wouldn't be posting.
hello every one!!!!
i am proud owner of SGS from last one year.
no of times i flashed custom ROM and researched for info on internet
got almost all the information from this forum but still got some question.
i got the tutorial for setting up the development environment.
but still not got the satisfactory ans/tutorial/guide for android development.
i am not from programming background but still i am very much interested in android development and i know that with interest i can learn any thing.
i am very much interested in ROM development.i know it involves very much knowledge/patience/coding etc.
could anybody tell me what are the steps involved to develop for android platform so i can research and learn to do it.
help will be appreciated!!
hey,
other than searching on google for code sample/example, i refer to the following to answer some basic information: http://developer.android.com/index.html just one thing to note is...the code they provide on their website may have bugs ( i have run into a few myself as i was starting to code on android platform)...
You probably know this one, but maybe not

Hi swapk007,
Setting up an android development environment is a little complicated, so instead of trying to list the steps here, I'm going to give you some advice. This is coming from someone who also started android development about a month and a half ago, so the following advice is something I'll stand by.
If you don't have a programming background, try and tinker around with some basic Java. I've gone to school for Computer Science, so I got enough Java experience that I could jump right into Android, but it is something I would recommend to others who don't have that exposure.
Next, check out Commonsware. It is a site/service/set of online books run by a guy named Mark. I purchased the books back when I started and they have been HUGELY helpful. He explains in detail how you should set up your development environment, and then walks you through the different parts of the development process. Furthermore, he does "office hour" chats once or twice a week, so if there is something extra complicated that you can't figure out you can talk with him. He is really friendly and helpful.
Once you get a handle on developing some apps, be they basic or advanced, then you'll be able to get into Rom development.
If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

thank you all...will definitely go through all this n reply..
I´m not a android developer, sometimes i do some OOP in C#, and I would suggest you should start coding some apps (games, toys etc.), maybe just for PC´s, before even start thinking about developing custom rom´s - just start reading JDE stuff and if you finaly know what your doing, you will not have to ask for thinks like "how to code ROM´s", but just start coding...
...would you start building a house, if you even didn´t know how to do a wall?
will definately do it tomrof!!!
Hey guys, I am a new guy here. I am wondering roughly how long does it take to be able to make your own first and usable android application? Not just a 'Hello World' application, but one that you can actually lol....
Can anybody please assist me with a few questions I have.
I do not have any cash to sink into any college course, and I have very very limited experience with programming in any language. I very quickly delved into Visual Basics back in the yahoo messenger booter days. but all i really did was copy source codes and edit them and release them as my own (I know, noobish) but I was young lol.
1. Is there a website that i can start learning java and android languages?
2. what all applications will i need to get started? I am in the process of installing the android studio application right now.
3. does anybody have any suggestions or tips before i get started?
4. what websites will help me the most?
5. is it only java and android language i need to learn? or are there other languages that i must learn to get past the beginners stage?
I appreciate everyone that assists me. I have always given up in the past when it comes to learning something like this, but this time i really would like to succeed and prove to myself that i can do it if i put my mind to it.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day, and i will see everyone around the forums, as i will most likely be frequenting them to learn more things and to interact with other programmers and people in the android world!
Have a great day,
FelonyGaming
First of all I would like to say i have done a lot of reading both here and on Lenovo forums where unfortunately files and threads disappear I have done this reading long time ago and back then it wasn't possible to install Windows on the Android version of the tablet, however now after two years it seems it could be possible I see some threads about installing Windows on Yoga Books so maybe the situation around tablets evolved an its already possible.
I'm able to take some risks as the tablet is completely used at the moment and it will stay that way until it runs Windows, which i need to utilize the tablet car diagnostics which only run under windows. It would be really cool to make this work as I dont want to lave one tablet utilized and buying a new one cheap one for 100$.
Thx for your inputs !

Hey there. Have found any way to do it? If so, it will be very kind of you if you send the links and instructions. I've done some research myself. Yet no results.
