True enough - but there are somethings you just can't do from a Mac or Linux machine... Odin is one of those. (Maybe Odin works on Linux, I don't remember...)

WOW!!! Why are there so many NEGATIVE and CRANKY people here in the Note forum? I have been a user of XDA for a loooooong time and I have never seen so many negative responses in any other device forum (except maybe the Galaxy Nexus forum - Their pretty cranky in there too).
Also... Who are you (or anyone for that matter) to say that if you are developing for Android on Windows that it is a disgrace? May I remind you that Windows is the 99.9 % DOMINANT Computer OS in the world?! If it was'nt for people developing on Windows I would have to say that we as a community would NOT have 90% of the ROMS, Themes, Tweaks or Apps that we have now so get real and keep your silly Linux fanboi comments to yourself.
As for the OP... All he is doing is trying to spread the word on that script which may indeed be helpful to someone who may NOT often check in the "Android" bulk forum so why dont you just cut him a break?

Was the post useful for you? No
Was it useful for me? No
Was it useful for any developer here? No
Does it pertain to Note development? No
Is this guy ever gonna check back on this post? No
Is Linux better than Windows? Yes, tenfold...even for a non power user like myself.
Are we STILL stuck in a Windows centric world? Yes, unfortunately.
Do developers mainly develop with Windows in mind? Yes, unfortunately. I had to use a Windows computer, gasp, to root my Note because there was no way for me to root it with Linux until I found out about Heimdall.
Edit: Why am I and everyone else so cranky? Because we all have the best phone around and are therefore superior in every way. Duh.

well i just said no to all the points you disagree with from the OP..
linux is better than windows for certain tasks but windows is still far superior over linux in many ways, just because you use it it doesnt necessarily mean its the best, same withthe galaxy note, unfortunately its the i own it so its the best mentality situation

Can we set up a iphone development page set as hawever would like not to acknowledge its existance it is here. and should be looked at like any other device (palms remember lol)
I believe from a "legal" standpoint actually talking and sharing ideas about developing for the iPhone is against the SDK.
Have you not noticed that this is an "HTC" forum. Since HTC don't make the iPhone, and since the iPhone doesn't run WM, there is absolutely no chance.
The Palm devices here are manufactured by HTC.

This forum is called "XDA-Developers" for a reason. It is dedicated to HTC devices, which at the time the forum was set up were only released under the XDA brand.
The two platforms are completely different, and share no common ground.
People may want their HTC device to look like an iPhone, but that doesn't mean the site is going to dedicate space and bandwidth to the iPhone it self.

As the mod has already stated, this is a HTC forum. Any discussion aside from that manufacture is going to be off topic. If you feel compelled to discus iPhoney, there are other venues to do so. I too think it is idiotic to request the mods to add a board here for iPhoney discussion.

Well you've seen the answer.
But a therapy group, to convert might be a good idea.
But truth is on XDA it won't take long before more and more objections get it. Just because it's against the cause.
There's also no sense of discussing it.
Even a fun thread could get ugly in no time and we wouldn't want that now.
Does anyone have any interest in this? Win7 looks really nice and I was hoping something existed for us N1'ers.

Don't get me wrong, being a developer I love android. But I get paid alot more for developing Microsoft applications, its just the way it is. Don't bite the hand that feeds you. As far as mobile apps I have developed alot more android apps than I have windows. I love android but I also love windows and so does HTC. The only os I can say I really don't like is ios. So if I offended anyone I appologize. I'm just a gadget junkie who likes technology.

We actually have Ubuntu on Nexus One, I wonder if there's a virtual machine software for ARM architecture Ubuntu and... we then may be able to run windows 7 on Nexus One I know it'll be extremely difficult hahaha
TeamViewer works to remotely control a Windows 7 PC from your phone if that's good enough for what you want to do.
It is not possible because N1 has only 512mb ram
n Win7 cannot run directly on ARM cpu
so...you cannot even install it (requirement of Win7 is 1gb of ram and x86 [email protected])

I think the OP meant Windows Phone 7. But still, in a word, no. It will never happen. It's one thing to get an OS running which also runs on the Linux kernel, includes drivers for most of this hardware, supports this architecture, and is free to modify open source code. But Windows is none of these (except that it supports ARM). So no, not unless Microsoft helps us out with drivers and the source code. Anybody wanna call and ask them for it?
Why does android runs on HTC HD2? I think it's possibleee!

Android is open source. Meaning anyone can tweak it to work on any hardware, assuming the hardware has open source drivers, or can use drivers from other Android devices. That's the beauty of free software. Windows is closed-source and proprietary. Nobody can change it to work on other hardware. I'm not saying it's impossible to do, I'm saying it's impossible to even try without the source. Even then it would most likely be a monstrous task. But we'll never know for sure how difficult it will be, because nobody except Microsoft can even try. Understand? That's the difference between open and closed. And that's why many of us frown on Windows here.

As this platform continues to skyrocket in popularity it will continue to be the target of viruses and malware. Fortunately Unix has built in permissions and now Apple will have to have patch Tuesday like Microsoft.

Two possibilities here:
You don't get much.
You are married.
Which is it?
Macs are just as susceptible to viruses as anything else. Always have been. They just aren't targeted as much. Apple even sells an antivirus, they just keep it hush hush.
While windows is Targeted much much more, you can be much better defended if you know what you are doing.
The next time someone tells you, "Macs don't get viruses", ask them, "Then why does Apple sell an antivirus?"

One general rule is to never request things (unless its like a mod for a ROM). Its cuz building such takes time and patching bugs takes even more time. And the dev might not have that much time to do such a thing... plus ubuntu is still in its developer stages...

Cmon buddy... greed is what makes us human
Hello everyone,
I've been pondering over some project to divert my time on and well recently I've begun to notice the somewhat unorganized mess XDA has become. So I thought of the fabulous idea of creating a new website made strictly for ROMs, Kernels, Rooting, & Unlocking Bootloaders. The website would have separate sections for each device, then differing versions of the device, then for android version, and then finally for type of development. For example AT&T Galaxy S3 CM12 rom would be found under Galaxy S3>AT&T>Lollipop>Roms>Cyanogenmod 12.
Get it? Super organized, super easy to find things.
What do you guys think? Is this something worth investing my time in? Or should I just give u on this little project? Be brutally honest please. After all there is no point on building a website that nobody will ever use.
More steps but easier finds. Nice.
Sounds good, especially if you can get support from xda.
CyanogenMod 11 listed under jellybean ROMs?
Your biggest issue is people dont really leave xda. Developer wise most are keen to stay here because support and friends are here i imagine. Also logistically trying to support even half the phones xda does and have it so organised into just what the phones are compatible with, along with paired Q&A + general threads would be immensely time consuming and would require more than a few people to keep up with the flow. Not even considering user mistakes with roms added in the wrong forum. While it would be a good idea i wouldnt attempt it. The mods are always willing to listen to new ideas to help keep the forums tidy though. Maybe try help out closer to home?
