Google Wave

Who all currently has a google wave account? I am working on a project using Wave on the G1 and wanted to know how many people are using it. Don't want to release too many details about the project yet but if you use wave post here. Will be releasing more details here in the next few days when I am finished finalizing it.

Im using it.

I have an account.

Just curious what is your current main use of it? I will be putting in Speech to Text to make it easier to use from the phone.

yep
I have an account as well. Not many of my friends use it much right now, but those that do I just use it for written communication mostly.

Same here, currently only a limited number of my friends use it. Those that do use it are the ones that work on android projects with me. We have been using it to discuss ideas for our apps so that we have a well written record of what we want.

I'm on it.

Just got my invite yesterday.

*Raises hand*
I have an account

I am using it and know 3 other Android users that are as well.

I'm using it too.... Wait don't have an account yet. Bet rest assured once I get my invite I'll be all over it as well.

i have an account and logged in once...
i dont understand how it works :S

I still need an invite if anyone has one to spare!

any chance someone with their hand raised would throw an invite my way?
email = http://scr.im/1wwu
Thanks in advanced if anyone does.

I have a couple invites left and will give them out to select people. PM Me if you need an invite.

i got one too

A big thank you to whomever sent me the invite! Im online and rocking now and looking forward to see how I can use this to help with all my themes and mods!

I have Google Wave but has no friends to use it with...

Anyone who wants to follow my themes is more than welcome to add me as a contact with brandenk[at]gmail[dot]com

Does anyone mind giving me an invite? i've been looking for one for awhile now

New website with a small giveaway. Updated. 2nd giveaway.

I know the giveaway isn't much but I hope over time it will grow. I am currently contacting manufactures to see if I can get any love.
I just started a new website called androidusers.info. I am hoping to have it have stuff that users want to see. Check it out and leave comments on what you would like there. Also I am having a giveaway for a superuser sticker. I know it's not much but for now everything is coming out of pocket. If you would like to help out let me know. I am looking for app developers who wouldnt mind giving away something. Also a tweet about it would be nice. As for the donation link well it says it all there. Not looking for huge donations just maybe a couple cents which over time and people will add up to some nice stuff to give away.
Mods feel free to remove if this isn't up to site code.

2 things i notices - 1 its slow to load (may just be my internet connection) and 2 it would be better if most of the post was viewable from the mainpage (like engadget)

Thank you for the comments. I am still working out the kinks and looking at other themes for it.

also the fonts , esp the titles are huuuuuuuge

Thanks. Will work on that.

Decided to give something else away now. Go check it out.
Here.

I left a comment Sick Android figure, I would love that haha But yeah it definitely does load on the slower side

you webpage loading time is too long. and you are missing "Meta Description". Try to summaries the posts on the homepage and make the visitors to click "Read More" to view the full post.

A simplified way to connect all developers, share work, etc

Before a forum mod even thinks of taking this down- I've been in contract with Svetius and this may go live across XDA.
I would like to beta test here- and give developers and others a good example of what we can accomplish- as a collective.
I'll simplify for anyone who wants to jump in- click one of the following links, and if you don't get it, read on:
This is a link to the view only version, with ability to comment..
https://docs.google.com/document/d/...MZAPx-mLF8tnXPmBV2V7fRo/edit?usp=docslist_api
Here is the developers/contributor linkhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/...MZAPx-mLF8tnXPmBV2V7fRo/edit?usp=docslist_api DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK IF YOUR NOT ACTIVELY DEVELOPING OR CONTRIBUTING- I DO HAVE WAYS TO REMOVE PEOPLE IF THEY TAKE AWAY FROM PROJECT!
If someone else wants to create a new document, please include a link to this instruction document I've already created.
If no one else jumps on creating a development document for unified s5, I will create and post the edit and view/comment links in second post, or add your document if you choose too
I will update and add to this post this morning- please allow me to get second post
As of this moment, developers, recognized contributors, or users are disconnected- and you may not have the time to go hunting each other down, or answer 500 PMS.
This is my effort to connect developers- it is a LIVE document, and it uses your Google account to grant the level of access you need. Because it is a live document, you will see AS other people type. I can give non-devs the ability to view and comment only- but in that way, even they may be able to contribute.
There's a built in chat box.
It automatically tracks who makes changes so no credit has to be given for your work, or you can create a document you own and paste the link in my document. This is how we create a "tree" of organized data..
Links do NOT BREAK.. So even of you move the document in your personal folders, any link you put into my or any other document will work. Period. I've tested this over 4-5 years, and I'm sure of this.
The same way it tracks changes, you can revert to old versions.. So if someone accidentally selected all and hit backspace, by accident or as a jerk, in a few clicks I can put it all back.
I've been taking to mods and development teams here at XDA, and we are going to be doing this XDA wide, or at least that's how it is looking - this reduces devs duplicating work, because it is Google document, it requires no sign up, it's probably on all your devices or easy to download..
Of we start sharing and get or section done, it will give a good example at how all other subgroups can do there's.
The link in my signature(amaze Bible) shows how robust these Google docs can get. Here is a link if you can't see it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486

I will add edit and view/comment links here in a few moments

This third post will contain a table of contents once documents start taking shape.
Please help this project, as connecting developers, contributors, and users will help us all!
But I've been asked to make sure this doesn't REPLACE XDA.. So if you have any posts that may be helpful already on XDA - LINK BACK TO IT.
If this goes XDA wide, they may be able to integrate this into XDA with backbend tools.. This could get really cool really fast. Pm or post you're questions or comments- but follow the development section rules!

I want to follow this.

Follow yes, even help if possible
Click the edit link and go to the bottom where I put examples where I see this going.. You can comment (it explains how in the Google doc) if you don't want to change the doc itself.. So make suggestions, or even help me message a link to this thread to developers.. Because as I said, I've already been getting a pretty positive response from the top mod and his development team..
If we can show them this works and well, it will only help them see maybe this can be a priority.
I'm going to connect them with some backbend tools Google put out to integrate this into the site- so I need our XDA community collective to do/offer whatever they can to get or beta test product into something useful.
As a bonus, as easy as it is to link to docs, and link back to XDA.. We can reduce the number of duplicate questions, need for q&a threads, and the number of messages that developers get!
Even me, a recognized contributor- the more active I am, the more PMs I get..
So come on XDA collective- help me make this work!
It is now robust on a computer, but you can do 90% of this on any Google device you can install apps on

The amaze 4g is definitely a dated device, but we did this for that forum.. It helped a ton
Please, look at this example amaze 4g Bible and click the links in the take of contents which take you to the Google dochttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679486
I'd like this and more, stepped up a notch, connecting developers- maybe even creating new ones that we allow view/comment access..

BUMP.
I edited original post- if you're a Dev click the second link, if you want to contribute in some way, click the appropriate link.
You literally click the link, on just about any device, especially anything android or a computer- and you're in, and able to contribute. No sign up. No wasted time.
This is EASY as it gets, but I can't make anyone do this.. This is about us collaborating and helping each other, unifying developers in one place - and REDUCING WORK.. Because I'm seeing a lot of developers doing the same thing, and it is called work duplication.. And time that need not be wasted if you all work together.
On top of that, if I and other contributors, official or not, can be part of the process.. Well, think of it as processing power.
Please give it a try, and let's build a team.
for developers and contributors in the unified s5 forum - please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2997834
I'm trying to increase our collaboration, reduce duplication of work- and maybe even help out a few devs that just don't know your secret Fix's

Cool, going to submit an app. Apparently my account needs to be five days old to do that, so I will have to wait till then.

Hi VilleI,
I am not sure if you are using the right app. Here is a link for it play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apphunt.app to it. We don't require our users to have accounts for 5 days to do things. You should be able to comment and vote apps anonymously. If you want to submit an app the only requirement is to login

Ah I was using the wrong app app submitted now

Xiaomi, you suck at email (but you have built a very nice phone)

So, got my Mi Mix 2 yesterday, and because I'm gonna unlock & liberate it with LOS (MIUI = eww imho), I created an account over at account.global.xiaomi.com.
But no confirmation mail arrived.
So I went and checked the logs of my mail server, and, the mail from Xiaomi got rejected, because of a misconfigured helo greeting. (my mail server doesn't like non-resolvable helo greetings - a best practice to combat spam)
But because my mail server is also a polite mail server, it gives a temporary error (450) in that case, which a. makes the sending server try again and b. gives me a chance to whitelist false positives.
Alas, that mail system hasn't tried again since, and it's now 12 hrs later.
So, first impression of XaaS (Xiaomi as a service): Meh!
End of rant, I feel better now.

Welcome to the club. The initial xiaomi setup is always a pain... Which is why moving to AOSP ROMs is always my first step on these as well.
Best of luck.

Well, to be fair, I finally discovered the Resend link on the account creation page, hidden in plain sight. :angel:
And in the meantime I was able to create an account, figure out the necessary steps to get to the actual unlock process (learn some chinese, firewall piercing, I'll spare you the gory details), and am now waiting for 72 hours to pass.
But yeah, so far, exact opposite of unlocking other devices.

Honestly, too dramatic lol.
Am a Chinese here. Do you really need to learn some Chinese to unlock the device? Sorry but that somehow is quite funny to me.
Just tried. Haha, it's true that it keeps jumping to the Chinese version page, though all you need is to click the most obvious button. Hmmm, I can't believe XiaoMi still struggle with this given that it has quite a few overseas markets already. Maybe should post a feedback to them.

Yeah, parts of the accout website system have room for improvement - I really needed Google Translate, because nothing was obvious to me, it all looked the same, and I did not find a way to switch to english.
Ultimately, the search function saved my life.
Just going to Developer Options - Mi Unlock Status on the phone would have saved me some hassle (has instructions, even in german), but the LOS installation instructions don't mention that, I only found out later.
Oh well, live and learn. I managed in the end. Makes the whole thing even more satisfying I guess.
