What do you think about Android O? What name would you suggest?
Let the discussion begin!

Developer preview 2 is out along with io17
Make changes:. https://www.xda-developers.com/heres-everything-new-in-android-o-developer-preview-2/

Android O developer Preview 3 is rolling out. O SDK is released for merging apps
https://www.xda-developers.com/android-o-developer-preview-3-rolling-out-with-final-android-o-apis/

Hmm, DP4 is out, we are really close to the release, also we got a new easter egg screen, an octopus with 8 legs. I am guessing this is an hint towards Android "O"ctopus? ?

Android Oreo? Think of the advertising opportunities!
I hope they add more stuff and it's not just... this.

XDA Contact Book (Need Help / Looking to team up for a project ? Check this out)

Hello XDAians,
This thread is a Contact Book for everyone on XDA, it was started in the RC section but as everyone wouldn't be able to view it & use it I've started it here as well for the benefit of everyone.
- Have you ever thought of teaming up with people for starting a new project ?
- Do you need help ? (Checkout the 2nd post)
- Or maybe you were just looking for someone who could help you by clarifying your doubts on something / some project / some guide / etc ?
- But sometimes have ended up not finding the right people or it turned into a very tedious process ?
This thread has been started to make the process of collaborating with fellow members on any project ( ROM / MOD / Dev projects, Guides, etc) an easier & a simpler process.
I would request all the members to make a single post in this thread.
In this make a post describing yourselves & you can include anything, here are some points you could consider:
- A short but informative description about yourself.
- Projects you have completed / currently on going
- Devices you own / have worked with / are presently working with
- etc​
You could list the Languages you know:
- English
- Hindi
- German
- Russian
- Chinese
- French
- etc​
You could list the Programming languages you know:
- C
- C++
- Objective C
- Java / Java Script
- VB .NET
- etc​
How would you like to be contacted:
- Via PM on XDA
- Facebook Page
- Twitter ID
- Google+ Page
- Email ID
- etc​
How to use TAGS to help fellow RCs get info at a glance:
- At the end of your description add [TAGS] which describe yourself / your work / your knowledge in short. I have listed some reference TAGS below which you could make use of & will help you get an idea.
- The 2nd & 3rd posts of this thread will be used for listing the names & TAGS.​
Here are some of the reference TAGS that you could use in your post:
- [GUIDES] [ROM] [AOSP] [KERNEL] [CM ROM] [AOKP] [TWEAKER] [THEMER] [COUNTRY]
- [DEVICES YOU OWN / HAVE WORKED / WORKING ON / MADE GUIDES ON] e.g. [GALAXY R] [MOTO RAZR] [GALAXY S2] [ONE X] [XPERIA S]​
Here's a sample of the post which you can use, but it's just a sample & your post can be different:
Hello, I am 'Mr. X' from Antarctic & have been making guides & developing for various devices on XDA.
I have made Newbie friendly Guides & Rooting Guides for the following devices:
- Galaxy S4
- Motorola Atrix 3
- LG Optimus 6X
- Xperia Arco S2
- HTC One Z
In the past I have developed ROMs based on AOSP / CM 11 by including my own Tweaks & MODs for Galaxy S4 & O6X.
Currently I am developing MODs for HTC One Z, some of them include reducing the power usage by the device & make this beautiful device's battery last longer than 16hrs. Some HTC One Z users say that this device gets very warm on usage but I gotta tell you this, the device remains super cold even on heavy usage.
If are you looking to team up for developing a new ROM based on AOSP then you can contact me on my FB page in my Sig / just send me a PM. If you have already developed a ROM then I can improve it further by making MODs for it.
Programming languages I know:
- C++
- Objective C
- Java script
Languages known:
- English
- French
- Hindi
- German
- Russian
You need help with any of the devices which I own (check Sig) ? Then don't worry just chill, just contact me via PM / FB I'll help you.
Cheers !

If I helped then buy me rum (beer doesn't cut it here)[/SIGNATURE]​​
I hope this thread serves the purpose for what it has been started i.e. Collaboration between members for working on Projects / Guides as a team.
I would like to Thank SMOD PG101 for helping me improve on this idea which I had in mind.
Regards,

Although I can include the tags from there & link it to the above post but members would read your post which would have no details about you.
You could just copy-paste it bro & remove any details which you don't want to post in here.

Anybody can PM me or can contact me in Galaxy R Forum or can contact me via my mail ids. I spent around 15hrs of a day over XDA. Always keen to learn something new & want to share it to everybody.:highfive: Just do R&D lots of times. when Bad emmc chip bug was shown in Galaxy R & Devs suggested not to Erase data via CMW, I did 4-5 times & didn't see any bricked issue. So, always ready for testing new ROM & Applications.
Bumping this thread up because it's been wayyyy under-utilised.

Hey guys,
I'm KidCarter93 (obviously) but you can call me James. The devices I currently have are Samsung Galaxy S2(international) and Nexus 7 WiFi but I help out all over the place, so you may see me around :)
Unfortunately, I don't have any development skills yet :(
As far as my threads on XDA go, I've made a couple of index threads (ROMs, kernels, recoveries etc.) and I've also made a couple of Help Threads.
Do you need an FAQ written for your ROM/kernel/mod? --> Let me know and I will do that for you :)
The only language I can speak is English, even though I learnt French in school I'm no good :(
Programming languages - I know basic PHP, basic Java and HTML.
If you wish to contact me regarding a team up, then the best option is to send me a PM on here and I'll generally respond very quickly because I'm never off xda :D

i know: English, French (a little), and Arabic
i currently know basic C/C++, but that doesn't seem to help the android world

Skills required:
- C
- Java
- Git
- Bash
- Brain + Google
Simplified vision of android:Hardware < Kernel Linux < Hardware Abstraction Layer < Android
Porting: Working kernel + HAL
Tips & Tricks:
- Hack current projects. This way allow you to learn and not care about unnecessary stuff e.g. If I improve Ambient Sensor Light driver, is not necessary that I understand how is working android build system.
- Logcat

Thanks a lot .......... both for this and for your work on our devices

Android Test Cases

I am starting my Master Thesis which is more or less focussed on Android development and testing. Right now my question is, say I have developed an android application and have certain users who are already using my application. Is there a way where in I can push my custom test cases only to a specific set of users. For example, I have 300 users, I want to send the test cases only to people who are using Android 5.0, or only to users residing in Europe something like that. I have tried searching for this over the internet but unfortunately wasn't successful.
in your app somewhere include line of code that checks what version the os is? something like this
Check android.os.Build.VERSION.
CODENAME: The current development codename, or the string "REL" if this is a release build.
INCREMENTAL: The internal value used by the underlying source control to represent this build.
RELEASE: The user-visible version string.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Code:
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.GINGERBREAD) {
// only for gingerbread and newer versions
}
and same with where user lives, just check whats user location is with some line of code
i got those from stackoverflow but im not allowed to post links so youll just have to google something like: android java check for android version
