I'm surprised as hell that you people are even trying to use it on phones at the moment
XBMC really is designed for tv use currently there are 2 touch screen skins (made by me again) but they still suck on something as small as a phone you really need a tablet at least for it to work half decent.

I guess its a gimmick factor for now that you can actually run it. But don't judge it too harshly unless your using it the way its meant to be on a TV

No one is judging harshly, Plus I plan on using it with my MHL adapter with Bluetooth keyboard/mouse input (which doesn't currently work completely). As a way to show off at friends houses

Yeah I know its just I've invested a lot of my personal time into XBMC of the years, and I hate the thought of anyone dismissing it just because they try to run it on a device that its not currently meant for and get met with a less than stellar user experience :crying:

Its part of the reason why we didn't just ship out apk's or put it straight onto the "Play Store" because its still got a lot of development to go before it really a daily use app. And everyone would just grab and install all the pre-compiled ones without even reading any informational posts about it and complain that its crap when really the main reason the source code is out is so other developers can help us make it lots better for the day it hits the play store

Thats just the way XBMC rolls :laugh: develop in the open and encourage other people to help make it better

I personally think this is one of the best things to happen to android :) A mainstream pc program ported over this will be so far ahead of current media player it wont be funny :)

Force Closes on the Sony NSZ-GS7. Hopefully someone can get it working for that.

XBMC can't be compiled for official Google TV devices because it' requires NDK that never be released for x86 Google TV. Maybe XBMC can compile for ARM Google TV devices - Google promised to release NDK for ARM Google TV platform.

A lot of China "Google TV" boxes is really ARM devices with usual Android 2.x or 4x and so it's can run XBMC for Android.

    I managed to get a build of XBMC working on Tegra2's including the A500.This only works for SD content currently and hardware decoder support will be necessary to get 720p and 1080p support.

    Please note the Tegra2 is an unsupported platform currently.

    Touch optimized skin
    Anyone running this on a tablet (phone too if you want but I don't care about that) want to give this skin I did a go

    To install it get it on your tablet somehow by either putting the zip on your sdcard or just direct download it then run xbmc and go into system\addons and choose "Install from zip" and find where you put it

    Umm why? you do realize that people do this in their free time and give it away for free why would they "have" to do anything? They do what they want to do when they want to do it and owe you or anybody else nothing
