Hi there everyone,
I just got my Motorola Milestone (Germany) with the QWERTZ keyboard. I am new to android after many years of Symbian & Windows Mobile. I have several apps on those platform and would need to start searching for alternatives on the android platform now.
I would like you all to please give me hints, tips & tricks on how to make my milestone so much fun to use. My milestone came with android 2.1-update1 firmware.
I would like to know how to root this device, good apps for this device and all the goodies. Thanks for your contribution & helping me have a smooth move to the android OS
No one suggesting anything or am I the only one moving from Windows OS to Android???

Hey everyone,
I recently rooted my moto droid and was wondering now that I have done this can I drop 1.5 or any other OS on there that I choose? Also, if that is possible can someone post a link or tell me how to go about doing this. That being said, I was also wondering if there is a way to easily switch between android versions for development.
Thanks for your time and help,
Tommy
Here is a link to droidforums. It has links to most rooted Tom's for Droid.

You can also try other sites like alldroid.org, phandroid. The developers site which is "xda" and "sdx". There are many others so just search around they all have forums for different devices for this information. One of the most helpful I've found for noobs was unlocked.com. give it a try.

Look-up RomManager in the marketplace if you will be moving between versions alot, it handles these changes very well.
As to going to previous versions I can not say for sure. In theory yes but you will ether have to find a pre-made Droid rom or build it yourself.
Thanks!
Thank you both for the replies and information. I will continue my research and see what I can dig up. Hopefully I can find a 1.5 rom as building it myself is a little out of my ability right now.
Yes rom manager would be a good idea forgot to mention it. It works great for switching roms I just have a little problem with mount sdcard in clockworkmod recovery so mine will reboot after entering recovery and rom manager doesn't help some times but it seems to work great for most devices. My problem is I have to reformat sdcard because I came from Eris and I don't want to till I can get a computer to backup info on it.

Hi all.
I wanted to know if there are new updates about Android on Htc Touch Viva (Opal).
I see, in the thread of Wing Linux, that is developing a new version of this.
Is true?
If the answer is Yes, when I can try Android 2.1 D) on my Touch Viva?
Thanks to all.

Wing Linux
On the Homepage of Wing Linux you can see all news
Updates
If you go over to the ROM development page there are a couple of threads about what's going on with Android on the Opal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=444
Unfortunately it doesn't appear that you can use Android on the Opal yet, but give enough time hopefully the guys that are messing around with it will give us an Android ROM. I wish them luck and hope they have success. I'd love to try Android out myself!

maybe it can help u
Soo. I used the search button to try and locate a similar thread but i failed as i was overwhelmed by the amount of app related threads. I AM AN XDA NOOB
Im getting pretty good at coding in java and also using eclipse, so i decided to test myself and attempt to make an app that syncronises with a forum [not this one], alowing easier access and a better layout.
I would ike to know if this kind of application could be built in such an eviroment as "jre6" and "jdk1.6.0_25"
Device Details:
Model: Samsung Nexus S
Network: Vodafone UK
Build: GRI40
CPU: ARMv7r2
Kernel: Netarchy-1.3.4-bfs-2.3.3
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3-NS
although this was a decent place to post, i think you will get more help in the android software development section, not just this nexus s subforum

Hello guys,
I'm from the Xperia Arc forums and know how to flash Android phones, but one of my friends has a HTC XDA Diamond and WinMobile 6.1 on it and wants Android on it.
After he saw how awesome Android is on my Xperia X10 and now on my Xperia Arc...
So he wants to know which Android ROM is the best one and how to install it?
The ROM should be:
- as fast as possible
- as stable as possible
- most up to date regarding the Android version
- most/all stuff should be working
He wants me to install it and choose the ROM as he thinks I'm good at that stuff (well, I'm good on Android...).
So please tell me which ROM is the one to use and how to put it on his device.
I have no experience with WinMobile so please don't be rude to me.
Thanks
Regards,
Flo
You may want to look into the sub-forum for ROM development.
2 examples of threads related:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210040

Good luck!
P.S. Obviously you need to do the complete unlocking procedure as well (HardSPL etc.) - see for that the stickies on the top of the sub-forum
Thanks.
I, well we, gonna look into it

This is the forums for a phone that not only isn't yours, but the Captivate also runs a different OS. Go to the HD7 forums please.
