Could you please stop putting the word "droid" into the name of your apps? I mean come on! You guys are coming up with the most ingenious idea for the software, and then fall short with naming it. Here's the hard evidence: http://www.cyrket.com/search?q=droid We get it, it's on the Android Market, so it's gotta be for android. So please, for the love of Linus Torvalds, make up an original name!
Hope everyone realizes that this thread is written as joke, and not to be taken seriously. We all appreciate the devs' hard work and dedication to the Android OS and devices it lives on.
Death to iPod!

Why can't we use droid? lol, seems pretty original to me (in the context of the market). I don't see two transdroids, or mutliple piggybank droids. If it bugs you that much, just don't open the market anymore. lol
I kind of agree. To me its the same as as video games coming out being called Playstation Shooter, XBox Fighter, Nintendo RPG. It tells you what its for and sticks it to the platform. I understand that devs are developing for the Android but there are other platforms, whether you like them or not and especially those apps that are worth some money, it would be nice to see good work spread across the board. Having a name that would fit better on all platforms would be better imo. That or you recreate it with a new name for the new platform but then it becomes less recognizable. Everyone knows what God of War is and when they hear it they think one thing. But who would think Bank of America if they named it Bankpod and Bankdroid?
(just my thoughts so don't go getting all upset about it)
what about the "A"?
I'm still waiting for a golf game named AHole. What about Hemherrdroid? I suppose they could be offered as a package, too.
I'm torn. I lke concise app names, I like them to say what they do, and I guess it's good to know what platform. Can you do all those at once?
Ok I know this is an extremely stupid question, and yes I'm sure its been asked before. But I've been REALLY bored lately and just thought I would ask. Is it possible to or has it been tried to port the iPhone os to the g1?
Please keep the ridicule to a minimum. Remember, its only a harmless question.
the difference in closed-sourced and open-sourced.......
no, it can't be done.
(for now i will not flame you, but i make no promises if gridlock or supremeteam or someone else i know gets on here and starts laughing at you)
Oh no worries if it were someone else I would flame them just virtuous. Although if I had known it was still closed source I wouldn't have asked because I thought when 3.1 hit they were going open source.
This is the first I have heard of apple going open source with their iphone os. If that is true then I guess it could possibly done though I wouldn't expect anything anytime soon
Apple go open sourced, hell hasn't froze over yet but I did see a pig fly earlier, but it didn't have wings and we turn around and........**** I am gonna incrimate myself if I say anything fruther.
Know onto david's request:
If you would like icrap's os, I am writing a guide soon on how to brick your phone, I could send a copy to you for only 4 payments of 18.95, limited time offer though. Once you follow my guide than you can go buy a ipone and have the os all you want.
Good night now, it's 7 in the morning and I was woken up for some stupid ass side work as captain save a ho ****, that ain't happening again.
So I am out of commision for a few hours, I hope I don't miss too much
Anybody that would be able to port it over are to content with your android to port it, but it is very safe to say that if it did, the green guy might come out and try to kill us all, or at least self destuct the g1 for be defiled, uh I just got shivers just thinking about it.

The only thing 3.1 did was send the devs back to the JailBreaking workbench. Apparently they aren't sure how to JB 3.1 which I would call the exact opposite of going open source.
If i see one more damn i**** port request for android, i going to make the worlds most devastating trojan that will infect every apple product even the shuffle. People wake up and smell the open sorce goodness
Hey don't attack my shuffle, that thing is great for working out, wait I use linux to load up my music, so I got no need to worry
shuffles are a wat of plastic. and wtf is up with the new nano having a camera
Wtf..... they got a camera, hope in breaks in seconds

hate it or love it apple is good at what they do. something to ponder is if android become as ubber cool to everyone and they mama would we find new phones and **** talk everyone for using droid?
we did it glock, we mufuckin got a thread closed. run smack yo mama, get ahold of supreme tell him the good news. we official now lol.
I got android for that fact that is was linux based, not because of the style or specs but for the os. I am not one to try and fit in
yea i was just making a statement, i mean really the iphone/ipod touch os is linux/unix based yoiu know? but i dont wanna get into the apple bs anyway im celebrating, we closed a thread, drink somethin off the top shelf tonight.
It got closed right as I was gonna tell you that david forgot to add it in the guide but I have read on some dodgey sites that if you have previously bricked a g1 than it is to counteract the breaking of a mirror by a bowling ball at the bottom of a lake
Codani, this is our second thread closed, remember g1bicked's g1 f$#%ed up thread
Not tonight I have a feeling I will be moonlighting as captain save-a-hoe tonight plus it's raining, gonna try to make it a quiet night, but tomorrow, tomorrow night I am getting hammered
I musta missed the closing of said thread.
First off... I know this is incredibly nerdy. I'm tired and the idea seemed funny.
Second... I'm not going to explain the reference unless I absolutely have to. I'm hoping someone will get it.
Basically, the title of another boot animation thread made me picture 2 androids doing the fusion dance... I have no clue what they'd fuse into though. I'll let someone else take the idea and run with it.
If someone at least gets the concept and can contribute more to the idea, that would be appreciated! If someone gets it and can actually make something out of what I've suggested, even better!

Ok folks, I don't frequently ask for advice in matters of the heart or personal stuff. Typically I confine myself to the realm of IT and phones. But awhile back when I was still whacked out over my Ex, I hurt someone I cared for greatly. It's been tough making things work out but I decided to lay everything on the line and I am mailing the following letter to her in hopes of things working out. Any input especially from the fairer sex (if there be any here :laugh would be appreciated. Any thoughts folks?
Redacted
,
There’s a great deal of things I would like to say to you. Many would most likely just be a rehash of things I have said before. I don’t believe though that anything I ever say from this moment on would be sufficient to change the way things are right now. I know I have tried time and time again to express my sincere regret for my actions. I did something terrible to you. It wasn’t getting you sick, it wasn’t making you feel used, and it wasn’t being a real jerk to you. It was turning my back on you. I walked away when I should have stayed and stood by you. I truly regret my actions and if I could, I would take them back and do things differently. I would have stayed by your side. I would have shown you that I was a good man and that I truly do care for you.
I’ve said this before and I do mean it, I have always felt something for you. Ever since we were children a part of me has been in love with you. Not just because I think you are beautiful, but because of who you are. I’ve always loved the way you carried yourself, the way you moved, the way you sat, everything. It wasn’t until we were adults that I realized behind the beauty and grace was a mind that was as wonderful as the rest of you. You are an amazing woman whom anyone would be lucky to have in their life.
When I changed my status and you messaged me, we talked and ended up admitting truths. When you accepted my offer for a date, I was elated. How often does the woman of your dreams, the one you’ve had a crush on your entire life, the one you always imagined asking out, actually pay attention to you and says yes to a date with you? When we went out, I thought I was over the past and I was wrong. I didn’t mean to hurt you the way I did.
The worst thing for me is being alone. Not necessarily being alone, but being alone in my thoughts. When I’m alone, I have nothing to distract me from my thoughts. I’ve had time to evaluate my actions, my decisions, and my life. I see a great many mistakes I have made in my life. Many of them I cringe at knowing I did or said those things. I look back at turning my back on you and I want to just berate myself and kick myself over and over again for what I did. I was a fool for doing that. You deserved better than my actions and I have no excuse for what I did. Regardless of my mindset or my thoughts at the time, you deserved someone who would be there especially when he caused it. I wasn’t.
Since then, I have wanted nothing more than to make it up to you. To show you I am the man you deserve. I’ve wanted nothing more than to deserve you. I know I’ve made a royal mess of my life due to my actions and have damaged yours as well. You were doing great and while you may have wanted more in life and would have eventually attained that goal, I set you back. I don’t know how far and I hope it’s not nearly as far as I believe it to be. I believe you deserve the best in life. I believe we all do. I don’t know if I am what’s best for you, but I know that for me, settling for anyone other than you would be a grave mistake on my part. I would be a true fool to not try and show you I am a good man and I deserve a second chance.
I’ve tried calling you a fair amount lately, as well as texting you. You haven’t answered my phone calls and lately haven’t answered a single text. I can’t say I blame you for not talking to me all things considered. I’ve been terrible to you and haven’t been the person you need in your life. I want to be that man but I don’t know if you can ever let go of the past and the distrust. I don’t know if you can ever truly trust me again. That in itself is a shame as I am a good man and would be willing to do just about anything to ensure your well being and your happiness. Once committed to something, I am determined to see it through. Perhaps you think I should be committed for being this way, but it’s who I am. It takes something major to change my mind about things. I think you know that by now.
I know that between not working and with the medical issues you’ve mentioned that you might be unsure of things. I know that you’ve said you don’t believe I can make decisions that take you into consideration. I want you to know that even knowing that you have problems medically, that if things are as bad as you fear, that you may not be around for as long as you would like to be, I am still here and I won’t walk away just because things are difficult again. I did once and I learned a valuable lesson from doing so. I learned what was worth fighting for and what wasn’t. I want to be there for you. I want to show you the support you deserve and be there for you when you want and need me. I already am even though you may not want me to be.
You agreed with me once that if I had not been a fool and been the man a woman like you deserves, we both may have been happy together right now. Despite all the bad, we would have been together and together we would have worked towards something great.
There’s a saying, one that I agree with, “Nothing good in life is ever easy.” I believe that the best things in life are worth fighting for. I believe that you are worth it. That despite where I may stand in your eyes or in your heart, I believe trying is the right thing to do. I may be wrong but without your input, I don’t know to stop.
I am not asking you to jump into anything with me. I would like for you to, but I can wait a bit for that. What I am asking is that we start over and that you let me prove to you that I am worth a second chance. I want to prove to you that I am the man you deserve, one that will always be there for you. I’d like to pick up things where we left off, but I don’t believe that’s an option anymore. I’m willing to start anywhere you think we should just so that one day I can rebuild the trust I shattered and one day we can have a relationship that puts others to shame.
I want to be more to you than a bad decision easily forgotten. I believe I deserve better than that and I believe that I can be the absolute best choice you’ve ever made.
You once said that I should focus on rebuilding my life. You said that I should fix my life before trying to start a relationship with you. I am working towards that every day. I have good and bad days but overall, things are moving in the right direction. I believe though that when I am not working or able to work towards my goals, the free time I have so to speak, that those times are when I should work on rebuilding your trust and our friendship, that those times should be spent with you.
I am going to rebuild my life better than before. I want that life to include you, to be there for you and you for me. I would like for us to be together for as long as we have on this earth. I would ask for the next life too, but I don’t want to seem too eager or greedy. I know things don’t always work out as planned and that all of this may be wishful thinking, but I truly believe that we were in each other’s paths again after so long a time apart for a reason. I do not believe though that our paths should diverge just yet. I believe that there is more for us here and that we should pursue it. I hope that deep down you feel the same way. I hope that somewhere deep inside is the desire to see things work out and for us to have a chance together even after everything that I caused.
I’ve made mistakes in my life before. I’ve made a great many of them, but none as great or none I regret more than hurting you and breaking your trust. I want you to know I will spend the rest of my life and do anything I have to in order to earn back your trust and friendship, to earn back the look in your eyes when you looked into mine, the right to hold your hand in mine again, to hold you close and say the things that matter in life.
I want to try again. I want to be the man for you. Will you let me be that man?
Sincerely,
Darrell
You sound like a young man. Take some advice from a 33 yr old that has walked many paths and who has loved and lost. As cliche as it sounds, its true, if its ment to be, it will happen. Explaining to her how you hurt and and how much you love her will not make her comeback. The heart wants what it wants. I know the pain at time seems unbearable at times and the obsesive thoughts seem to never to stop, but in time, the pain starts to recede, the thoughts slowly die down. Concentrate on yourself for now, stay away from alcohol, and live one day at a time. In time, you will find that special someone, and she will be nothing but a memory.
Man I hate to tell you but I hope the kids in OT don't have a hay day with this. It's a legitimate request. If things get to outta hand, hit me up with a PM. I've been down this road and it's not an easy one. If you want advice, shoot me a message. Best of luck to ya man!!

Some parts of it seemed long and repetitive.
I think you can cut it shorter but still say what you want to say.
If she hasn't replied your texts or returned your phone calls, a letter this long may be thrown out immediately.
Just my 2 cents.

That's all I need to read to tell you that you need to move on. Sorry, but it's true. Just the fact that you're asking her if you can "be that man" just says a lot.

Prove it. Go out there and find somebody better. After all, you do deserve it.
Ooooohhhhhh k, now that I've re-read it, I gotta take back what I said. Dude, you can't put yourself out there like that. You might as well be the weird stalker guy that watches her go to the grocery store. You gotta move on man. Swallow what little bit of pride you have and keep on going.
A wise man once told me, the only way to get over one girl is to get under another.

'I am not asking you to jump into anything with me. I would like for you to, but I can wait a bit for that.'
you shouldn't write 'i can wait a bit'...
it sounds like 'yeah if you don't get laid by me next week, i'll search for another one'...
just write 'i can wait'
PS: good luck to you man!
Okay, I'm writing this in Notepad as I read what you wrote.
First paragraph, I'd trim this down. A lot of it is shooting yourself in the foot is going on here if your goal in this is to try to win her back.
"I turned my back on you. I walked away when I should have stayed and stood by you. I truly regret my actions. I wish I'd had the sense to stay by your side - I wish I could have been a better man."
Second paragraph, I'd cut this entirely, at least this early on.
Third paragraph : "You deserved better". You could attach this to the first at this point. A lot of this feels like a guilt trip for her when you're claiming you've hurt her. Don't tell her why YOU are needy and need her - why should she care (even if she does) ?
Fourth paragraph, same as second. This feels kind of random and unnecessary at this point.
Fifth paragraph. Okay. I don't know the situation, so that makes this really hard. But I wouldn't say in your letter that you DESERVE a second chance. Don't put this on her like she somehow needs to do you a favour. " I know I’ve made a royal mess of my life due to my actions and have damaged yours as well. You were doing great and while you may have wanted more in life and would have eventually attained that goal, I set you back. I don’t know how far, but I hope you're still able to attain all you wanted*" (*I don't know the situation, so I don't know how much she can expect ?) Tell her how you can HELP her attain whatever it is you set her back from, even if you can't directly.
Sixth paragraph. This whole letter is really vague so far - have you edited it for the internet ? If not, I'd be more specific. "I don't know if you can ever trust me again, that I understand". She knows she's been ignoring you - you don't have to tell HER that.
Seventh. "I wish I had been good enough to not have to hurt you in the process of learning what was worth living and fighting for". Somethingn like that.
Eight. You've basically said this before. Stop dwelling on it - it happened. What can you do to at least tell her in words that you're comitted to making a CHANGE ? What would you do in the FUTURE with her if you got back together at this point ? What would you do for HER ?
Nine. "Starting over" is not what you want. If you started over, well, you'd end up in the same place, right ? You need to express that you've learned and that that is always with you - that you're not going to mentally "start over".
Ten. Okay, what progress HAVE you made ? Can you tell her about THAT ? What can you do to make progress with her ? What would you like to do if you were to start "slow" ?
Eleven and Tweleve. I'm not going to comment on these, specifically.
Okay, so.
If I was reading this, I would feel you're too focused on NEEDING her and it's a lot of words, words, words - but no action. It's all talk and not much substance to actually mean something to someone who's been hurt. Address what you did. Address what you would DO. Address HOW you've changed, what you're doing. Let her know specifics about what you're doing to improve your life and yourself. Let her know HOW you can help her, what are you willing to do ? How can you support her ?
I'm not here to comment on if this is the right thing to do or if you need to move on. Maybe you do - I don't know. I don't know you or the situation. I'm just reading this, trying to think about if I'd been sent it.
I'm reading a whole lot of "I WANT you in MY life" - but no really good reasons why she should want to be in yours. Why should she ? ... SHOULD she ? If it really would be good for her, why ? Don't tell her that she needs to "fight" for this with you - if she's the one who's been hurt, why should she have to struggle any more ? Show her that you've changed and advanced enough that it wouldn't need to be something difficult.
Don't take this too personally. I don't know you, I don't know her - I don't know what happened. I can't tell you the best 'advice' possible without that.
Beware rebounds. If you haven't fixed your **** before trying to move on, you'll invariably **** up again and probably make the same sort of mistakes - or hey, maybe even all new ones. Figure your **** out - it's what this girl you're writing to wants to see - and it's what any girl who isn't going to be another couple broken hearts is going to want to see. It's old, but it's true - you can't expect to find someone to fully love and commit to you if you're not even fully what you want from yourself.
I tried. :good:
^ Great suggestions.
To OP, I read the whole thing. Twice. You're truly expressing yourself, but you don't need to keep reminding her what happened. She KNOWS what happened. And I would even say she dwells on it. So saying stuff like 'I turned my back on you" wouldn't really help. Being self critical is fine, but I found it to be slightly overkill.
And, in the whole letter, I kept searching for the world "sorry". You haven't said sorry even once. You NEED to tell her your sorry. She NEEDS to know that. You need to actually apologize to her instead of saying that you are unworthy.
If you really think she's the one, go pursue her, and don't let up.
I'm much younger than you, but I hope my advice helps.
Best of luck, mate.
So I read your letter and I can see that you're very troubled with the situation. A lot of people here have given you great advice, I'd really consider not shooting yourself in the foot like the person above stated.
My main concern is the letter seems more about you feeling bad and wanting to make things right rather than actually apologize and let the chips fall where they may, again like the person above stated.
My two cents, take out at least half of your "I"s . Don't beat yourself up especially in a letter to her as that won't inspire confidence in you as a man. Straight up, be a man; apologize for whatever happened, tell her what you feel, and then give her space. Sucks but other than that you'll suffocate her.
Hope all goes well man.

So what I am about to say sounds crazy, it sounds crazy to me. But I believe that I have been manipulated into doing horrific acts that I still can't believe it was me doing it. I have been drugged and cocerced into behaving such a way or another way. I also believe that I am being attacked right now. Below is something I started typing and then realized that if I didnt get this on something public then it wouldn't matter and everything was erased. But I don't know their level of access. Anyways just as well I could be a paranoid guy that does drugs. But if I was someone that thought they were hearing things and the people closest to him were telling them that were crazy then he would really start to buy into the crazy theory but when they try to hard and then you start thinking how every time after you done something completely out of character of yourself you felt like someone pulled every right string they could to get you pumped up to do just that thing. I believe it was all a lie. Every bit of it. And I will prove all of this in court.
My ****bhas been misplaced on purpose. So what you have a slue of felonies to choose from. Mind you that I believe any and all felonies that I do possess were coearced by the individuals closets to me. I want this statement released before any production is released. If it has I want a ceased and desist. I want it to be known
To continue what I started on. If anyone sees this and they have any kind of montoring devices on my phone I want a cease and desist. I don't know if I can ask for that. Does anyone know if you can lawfully tell anyone and everyone to stay off my phone is there a way to log the ips connecting to my phone and then search which app and what it's connecting to. I would love all of this to be the great drug fog that has been clouding my mind. But as well those were put in front of my fsce with little ease. So I would rather not involve the law or anything like that yet until I have definite proof

Nice intro, welcome to XDA!
