My First Android Experience on DevBoard and Phone
I've been playing with Android for few years, but to be honest I never have an android phone. All I know about android is when I in in progress on creating an Game Console on http://gdi.nerd.web.id/. I suspend the project since I don't feel FroYo is appropriate for game console, I wait for GingerBread to be dropped in to the source code. This is how android runs on the board:
When I spend about 4-5 hours a day to study mods for the UI, it turns out that I have no UX designer. And I heard that Gingerbread will have friendlier UX for tablet/bigger screen, I would ilke to wait for it rather than hacking around Froyo. The funny thing is that this device will called 'Ginger', really coincidence with codename from Google. The other reason is that my business doesn't get really good traction at that time and I'm loosing partners and money. Thus, I relocate to Jogja, got a very good partner to start other company. *Yes creating companies is addictive*, thus for last 6 months I have no free time on hacking either Linux or Android Kernel but all driver codes for kernel 2.6.34 is ready on my github account. I cannot say much about the device, you can see the diffs on the source code. The device itself doesn't have telephony function.
Finally it turns out yesterday I heard that Nexian lower their phone prices to IDR 1,999,000 (US$ 220) from IDR 2,500,000 (US$ 300). I really interested on this phone and began researching it. It turns out that the device is relatively Easy to be mod-ed.
