Developers/Themers/Android Fanatics in Western Australia? - Android Themes

Hey everyone, I've been wondering if there are many android devs or themers, or even just passionate people who live in Western Australia? I rarely ever hear of any, if I do they are mostly from the east coast.
What I want to know, is if you are from WA, then do you know any good places around Perth to make good connections for development related stuff? I'm kinda stuck for ideas right now and some connections would be great!
Cheers

Anyone have any ideas? I figured it is meant to be in general, but maybe less Aussies hang around here?

Back after moving house

Hi all,
It's been a hectic few weeks. I recently moved houses and was stuck without my DSL for what seemed like eternity. I'm back now (if anyone cares :lol: ) and will try to help out once again on the forums.
I'm working on a user manual for the XDA Tools which I hope to release soon.
I'd also like to share with you guys how suddenly things can change. A colleague of mine from work died this morning when he smashed his Mustang into the guard rail of the highway he was driving on. He was 21. There he was speaking to me the day before, said 'See you tomorrow.' and now in a morgue. Kind of puts everything else into perspective.
Take care.
Sheran
Sorry to hear that. Life would be so much better if we treated everybody as if it was the last time we were ever going to see them, that way there would be fewer regrets when somebody does die.
Sorry to hear that.
If you follow rallying in America, or international maybe..
My Uncle Roger Freeman was killed in a rallying accident in America in July. Mark Lovell was driving the Subaru, which was competing in the Oregan Trails Rally. Cars are dangerous, there are no 2 ways about that.
The funeral's for Mark, and Roger were spectacular here in the UK. You just have to do these people proud when they have been taken away like this. Mark and Roger will be remembered forever in the rallying world.
My thoughts go out to the friends and family. Just remember the good times...
Best Regards, Martin Freeman

An oh..of course that was the creation place, so now number 2 on the list:
2. When?
When? That my friend we don't know...
Hello all,
I am in the hospitality business and organise events for a number of blue chips – in short my company is the best in the business.
I get good rates on hotels, restaurants and have excellent connections for all things conference throughout Europe. So if Italy, Spain, Portugal, South Africa, Uk or Ireland is a possible venue for the proposed event, I will be happy to get involved. I am a big fan of XDA.
Work is on going on our website just now so I am aware that a number of pages need updating... its in the hands of the HTML engineer... link in my signature if ya wanna have a look at what we do.
Best,
J
This would be pretty cool however i've never seen it work out in any other forum. I think the best thing to do would be to create a poll and see where most people are located. Say there's a bundle in California, then we could have one in LA or some place close to all Californians. Same thing for other states, countries, even cities, etc. We could then all share our experiences. As for me, i'm in Southern California, hence the reason i used it
More or less this event might take place in the US or somewhere in Europe...only few asian are here...
It is a nice idea. Make it a convention and invite some guest speakers to show off the future of mobile devices, have reps from HTC and others perhaps like Sony, Motorola, Nokia, Jabra, etc... showing off newest gadgets and gear - Workshop seminars and stuff like that. It could be a fun time to meet some of our members in person, talk, show off our devices and envy the other person's device and a good learning opportunity as well.

it won't be an eyeball anymore. It will look like a convention, a meeting, etc. And that will be boring because everyone should be formal. Just an "ORDINARY' but "GRANDacious" eyeball.. exclusively fro XDA-DEV members and if you like we can invite M$ as our guest speaker..LOL
Just a regular GRAND EYEBALL, just to meet each and everyone here at XDA-DEV. No paper works, no signing up just beer and phones and girls too...

Agree with the poll
Starting form there we can see how many would like to attend and where most people is located
But I must say that I agree with Daveshaw that the best place should be where all this started: Amsterdam!
So who is going to create the poll?
Yeah, Amsterdam would be great! And there will be raffle promos and HTC Devices giveaways courtesy of all xda-dev's moderators and admins... Come one let's make this happen.
Great poll!
LOL
Last option looks pretty cool!
hehehe if that last option wins...you got to pay my expenses going to your place!

just a cent from a newbee, i hope this great idea will happen sooner...
i agree however that safety, next of course to resources, is definitely the issue needed to be considered by anyone else. but who's safe nowadays? i dont think there's a better place than our own abode (just be sure our better half is out.. lol)..
a little clarification though about Philippines vis a vis Abu Sayaff (ASG). ASG concentrates mostly in northern part of Mindanao and now being relentlessly pursued. on the otherhand, there are great places in the Philippines particularly in Luzon & Visayas, although as i've said cant be considered safer that our homes. But on the brighter side, your 1$ to Php47.++ is quite noteworthy of consideration.... more than double the fun i guess
Btw, considering the "safety" issue as quoted, i voted for the last option (peace orb...)
cheers...

[Question] Driving Theory App?

Hey guys, does anyone of you know an app for Android that has some sort of Driving Theory tests. Im going on a vacation next week and I want to get my theory exam when I get back. So, I was wondering if there is an application that helps you test your knowledge. With Tests, or questions.
I don't think there is one, but I was just wondering.
Thanks!
Maybe in Netherlands driving is a theory. In America it's something that distracts you while you're talking on the cell phone.
Seriously, I haven't seen any test prep apps.

Forget distracting I'm sorry but smoking is more IMO. Its just 75% don't know how to do it here.
- Oh so is eating, shaving, putting on make-up, but none of those are against the law. I have always talked, texted, emailed while driving at different speeds, some faster then others and not one accident.

I was trying to keep it topical. This is an Android forum, after all
Thanks for the replies so far
Anyone else?
It's highly unlikely that there is anything. Since rules and regulations vary from place to place, anything that might exist would be very location specific.
Don't you have some sort of a study guide?
Yeah, I do. Thanks

Chicago Android User Group [21+]

This thread will be the only one made as after the Meet there will be a dedicated site/forums etc for users to keep up-to-date on locations an time and other social interactions

Hey guys I'm new to the city and was looking for other android guys in town I live on the northside. Was wondering if anyone has successfully been able to root a Droid Incredible. I've been trying for two weeks now with no luck.

Why is it that the USA gets a full line-up of hTC's devices?

I've been browsing the web and certain regional websites of the hTC...All i find is the USA gets a larger share of the device launches compared to the rest of the World. Why is this partiality taking place? Even the non-residing USA crowd likes to have some great devices like the Droid series, the new WP devices in their hands...This is really disappointing.
I guess it was due time. For many, many years, the US was always last to get any half decent pda phone offered by any carrier....
I guess hTC realized the importance of the US market and decided to give us a shot

Ya,but i am concerned of the shot hTC is giving in my ass after launching those smart, high-end devices in USA and i keep waiting for them to come in India or at least the neighboring shores so that i can grab one...Smart shot Ass hTC...Huh!
I find motorola worse with their droid line up but I do know what you mean, think on the bright side though, we have the Desire HD which is faster than any other htc in the us albeit we got it late
But motorola..
Droid 2 was out s few months ago in US and the milestone 2 they haven't even released yet when they're pretty much the same phone

Yeah it´s bad, and I think it´s related to the fact there is no hTC store in the country so I always buy my devices from US or Europe
Ugh, Canada has horrible Droid phones, imho.
Rogers is exceptionally horrible, except the new Vibrant. I think we need more competition in Canada.

True...But if Hitler wouldn't have surrendered, how could you guyz win the war? And ultimately if that never happened,how would have you posted here?
Imagine Hitler with a bugged ROM on XDA...I fear he would have capsized XDA and put us into house arrest...
Imagine Hitler releasing a ROM of his own.....The Hitler series...
Imagine some one criticizing Hitler for a perfectly buggy ROM...
Imagine Mr. President help Hitler with the ext packages....
Finally imagine a XDA World summit where Hitler and his ROM Addicts discussing about various ROMs...
Imagine Hitler getting pissed off reading ORb's signature...
Imagine Hitler posting spam and getting Banned on XDA... LOL!
