Android :: Porting Android Code To Symbian

Jul 4, 2009

I find it a interesting proposition to port applications from Android to Symbian and improve a mobile app's popularity and usage. I am sure that I will find multiple results using a google search on this topic. But any recommendations from where I should start ?

Android :: Porting Android code to Symbian


Android :: Porting Symbian C++ To Android NDK

Apr 22, 2010

I've been given some Symbian C++ code to port over for use with the Android NDK.

The code has lots of Symbian specific code in it and I have very little experience of C++ so its not going very well.

The main thing that is slowing me down is trying to figure out the alternatives to use in normal C++ for the Symbian specific code.

At the minute the compiler is throwing out all sorts of errors for unrecognised types.

From my recent research these are the types that I believe are Symbian specific:

TInt, TBool, TDesc8, RSocket, TInetAddress, TBuf, HBufc, RPointerArray

Changing TInt and TBool to int and bool respectively works in the compiler but I am unsure what to use for the other types?

Especially TDesc, TBuf, HBuf and RPointerArray.

Also Symbian has a two phase contructor using NewL and NewLc

But would changing this to a normal C++ constructor be ok?

Finally Symbian uses the clean up stack to help eliminate memory leaks I believe, would removing the clean up stack code be acceptable, I presume it should be replaced with try/catch statements?

Android :: Porting JMF / Native Source Code

Jan 22, 2009

I am creating an Android application which uses the JMF (SIP, RTP, JAIN). So i downloaded the JMF source code for some adhoc change to my application.The basic questions 1. How will it behave the "native files - C/C++/header" in JMF source files(downloaded)? because android is based on java right now. 2. Is there any complete different way to porting/doing the SIP, RTP working in android?Is there any link from sun.com(this) site for JMF source code?Any suggestion and comment about this?

Android : Internet Radio App Similar To Nokia IR On Symbian?

Apr 29, 2010

Can anyone recommend an app to listen to actual internet radio stations rather than creating your own playlists?

I'm used to using the Nokia Internet Radio app on Symbian S60 which let you save your favourite stations from a choice of hundreds and start playing straight away by clicking on the shortcut. I've looked at Last FM and while it's probably very good, it's not really what I want. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Android :: All SYMBIAN Based End Devices Accept Java Language Applications

Mar 25, 2009

All SYMBIAN based end devices accept Java language Applications

(i)Does this mean that the applications made for Android would run in S60 ,without any modifications?

(ii)If not then what exactly we mean when we say the above statement? Is there any web link to which I can refer to?

(iii)What are the coding guidelines that we need to follow so that an Android application can be ported on S60 with minimum changes?

Android :: Symbian To Android Wifi Or Network Access Application

Sep 11, 2010

Having seen similar threads i know im not the only ex symbian user, not that i didnt enjoy my time with it but its time to move on! ive tried to see if this question has been repeated elsewhere but i couldnt so i do apologise if i missed it!

on my previous symbian devices n95 and 5800 if i used an app that required web access be that wifi or over the network it always asked me if i wanted to allow this, and i thought it was a good feature. now i just got a HTC desire and for financial reasons couldnt get an unlimited data plan from o2 in the uk just yet otherwise id be happy to let it be on all the time.

now it seems that if you want devices to connect you either have the wifi on or off, same for the mobile network. does anyone know if there is a setting or app or anything in the pipeline that might emulate this symbian function? maybe its me just being a bit funny but i found that level of control good and it didnt mean i had to go backwards and forwards turning stuff on and off. if its not possible im sure ill get used to it but it would be a good feature!

secondly i have a Ford Focus euro model with a built in bluetooth hands free to the stereo, a factory fitted option which i believe uses a nokia Bluetooth module (stereo is sony) now this really is a minor quibble but on the old phones when the bluetooth was on any incoming calls would push the ringtone through the speakers untiill i answered it

using the desire the phone still rings normally with whatever ringtone i have but it pushes a plain ring ring through the speakers, anyone know a way to change that? or mute the phone when it rings and just push the ring through the stereo?

Android :: Android Vs Symbian - Differences - Pros And Cons

Feb 4, 2010

I have a Nokia E71 (Symbian S60 v3) and am considering moving to either a Nokia N97 mini (Symbian S60 v5) or to Android, probably a Motorola Milestone/Droid.

What are the main differences between the two systems?

My priorities are a good battery life, a good push email system via imap idle, good PIM and sync to google calendar and maybe RememberTheMilk for tasks. I don't care about facebook, myspace, etc

I also like to organize my contacts into groups and I understand Android is better for this.

I know these discussions can degenerate into flames or some sort of "religion wars" (e.g. Windows vs Linux) but I'm only really interested in an honest comparison between the two systems. Much to my surprise, I could find very little on the web.

Android :: Posible To Port Android For A Symbian Phone

Oct 19, 2010

I have a Symbian based phone with a ARM Cortex-A8 processor (SonyEricsson Vivaz) and was thinking on how hard would it be to try and port the Android OS for it. Obviously Android runs on a myriad of devices with different hardware so I imagine it shouldn't be too hard to adapt it to SE hardware. Could some one give me a clue where to start or if this is even undertakable...

HTC Desire :: Way To Configure Calendar App In Phone Like In Symbian?

Oct 26, 2010

I recently bought a HTC Desire.(was a loyal nokia fan till now ) . It was difficult to get used to the android version of the calendar app, which syncs with google calendar etc etc.. But my question is - is it possible to create a calendar event - like in symbian OS , where you can choose - Event , Anniversary , Task (To Do) . Issue is , I have a lot of Bday reminders, and they are not exactly "ALL DAY events" and neither do i need a reminder set for that. I prefer the symbian way where its displayed on ur home screen - on that particular day for the entire day. Is such a setting (may be using another app) possible in Android ?

Android :: Music Website - Play Music On Android - Blackberry - Iphone - Symbian

Jul 14, 2010

How can I make my simple site, on which the user can choose to play a number of music clips by clicking on little "play" buttons on the page (think of Amazon's "preview" on their product pages for CDs), work on mobile devices?

[I originally created the page thinking only of desktop browsers, so currently it works by using Flash. I know that won't work at least on the iphone.]

Will I have to build a platform-specific app for all major mobile platforms to provide this kind of simple interface? If so, can you recommend a framework that will let me do this in "write once, run everywhere" fashion?

Android :: Porting To Nokia 5800

Oct 22, 2010

I'm interested in modding software and I would like to port Android to my Nokia 5800. So if there's anyone interested please give me some idea where to start, because there are many people that would like to make this idea possible. I was thinking about following:

I need to fetch Android ROM. I have chosen and downloaded v2.1 via SDK. - All of these files should be renamed to rofs3 and uda files according to Nokia firmware file names. - Correct bootloader is needed to make it running (for example OpeniBoot) - Drivers have to be extracted and edited for Android. The most important thing of all is display because its resolution is completely different than any seen Android phone. - Hardware shouldn't be a problem, it passed minimum requirements. So, is it possible to realize?

Android :: Porting A C Or C++ Program Into Phone

Jul 7, 2010

I am attempting to put my C++ program onto an Android phone but have run into several problems with the library linking. It seems most of the useful information I find on this topic through google is outdated (motz) or simply does not account for the complexity of my program. I have been able to run simple C programs but fail when attempting to use libraries outside of Android's Bionic/libc.So my questions are:

Is it possible to port pre-existing *.so libraries onto Android? If so, how could I do this without seg faulting?

Should I be using the CodeSourcery compiler (arm-none-linux-gnueabi-*)? How can I work around the lack of a separate thread library?

Android :: Porting SDK For Large Screen Devices

Sep 23, 2009

I am not sure, if this is the correct platform to talk about it, however I would like to know something about 'How Android supports the large screen display'. I mean here that suppose I want to port the Android SDK to a large portable device having a large display as compared to HTC G1 mobile screen, what all the OS modules (e.g surface manager, kernel: display driver etc) I need to look upon/modify.I guess what I am asking here is not a new subject as I can already see by below links that the Android OS is ported for large screen devices.

1. http://www.icpdas-usa.com/vp_23a1.html Specifications & Additional Information Models VP-23A1 VP-25A1 System Software OS Android 1.5 SDK Provided Standard ViewPAC SDK for Windows and Linux by GNU C language CPU Module CPU PXA270 or compatible (32-bit and 520 MHz) SRAM 128 MB

2. ARCHOS 5 Internet tablet shown on http://www.marketwatch.com/story/archos-brings-the-android platform-t... and on http://www.archos.com/products/imt/index.html?country=in〈=en as.
Let me know your opinion about it, any kind of clue will be appreciated.
