The underlying kernel in Android is different from what we use in Desktop Linux. They've "shaved off the fat" to put it in laymans. However, they are still quite similar. Of course, a cut n paste doesn't work.... modules have to the ported. Code:
This is what pisses me off. |
Re: The Epic Android Thread
So who out there has "swipe envy". I love the swipe gestures ui on n9, Sailfish and ubuntu. The closest I can get to doing this on an android phone is using GMD which allows for a variety of swipe gestures. For example I've set it so that an upwards swipe on bottom third left edge brings back previous app, swipe down (same place) brings next app, swipe down on top third left edge brings you back home. Swipe left from right edge takes you to recent apps list and so forth. I'm not sure if the N9 and Sailfish allow specific gestures along the edge but it is nice. However you cannot do the equivalent of peaking where you can partially pull out the screen of the app. Are there any other gesture apps out there with that capability?

Re: The Epic Android Thread
I was just thinking... If (when) Jolla Sailfish gets succesfully ported to android devices this thread would truly become epic!
Merry Christmas/Holidays Y'all |
Re: The Epic Android Thread
Please someone can tell me if it is possible to install NITDroid 2.3.4 and backupmenu. I want to do with U-boot and kernel power v52. It can be done without Multiboot?

Re: The Epic Android Thread
This question does not necessarily need another thread and because the TMO's Android experts have gathered here I decided to ask in this thread.
While waiting for Sailfish to conquer the world and come to my living room inside new innovative gadgets, I have decided to test some Android hardware for streaming music (Spotify, my personal song library on local network harddrive) and movies (Netflix) to my AV receiver. I have been therefore thinking to buy an Android TV stick that I could attach to my AV receiver. Any recommendations? Prefarably some stick that can be purchased from a web shop within EU. I am also not familiar with how these types of sticks can be controlled. Do they provide a web interface so that I could use them with for example Nokia 770 (yes, I still have one laying around) web browser? Do I need to have TV turned on if I listen to Spotify or can I use the 770 as "second screen" instead of TV? |

Wow.. people are still coming back to a site named after a very, very dead OS? Not talking about Android, I meant 'maemo'. heh

Re: The Epic Android Thread
This is the best thread here... :)
@OVK, did you look into the Chromecast? Should be available in Europe since October. You can control it with your Android phone AFAIK, but there are probably other methods too, like connecting a bluetooth keyboard/mouse, etc. It is a full fledged Android device that uses the TV as the display, after all. |

I might also be wrong and Chromecast would be a good alternative, I haven't really researched any further than reading this short article: http://android.appstorm.net/reviews/...droid-tablets/ |
