So, apparently it was one step forward and two back for me. I've finally figured out the issues with how I was compiling for the TouchPad but that also means that I'll have to basically start from square one and build the Dalvik library to use the PalmPDK toolchain.

NEW THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Moses580:
Is there any news on palmdroid? I have read the new thread, but it already got locked up, because too many people were spamming it (which is a pitty :().

The repository did not see much changes in the last month or so, neither were there more comments from the only active dev, I've seen so far.

I just learned about the project today, and I would be very interested in helping here...

Where is everyone? God forbid they went and buy an ipad
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] pizzaboy192:
If the dev of PalmDroid could team up with Chomper to help make CHDroid better... we'd have a fully working solution.

I'm using ChDroid, but it's pretty buggy. I think most people gave up with PalmDroid once they saw that CHDroid is the same project, but it's actually running.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] SCWells72:
But unless I'm mistaken, they're not the same project. ChDroid is an attempt to get a full Android system running as a card under webOS in which you can launch Android apps. PalmDroid is an attempt to get a Dalvik VM running in webOS with which you can run Android apps as if they were webOS apps. The former is similar to a system emulator and the latter is similar to WINE or Blackberry PlayBook's Android Player. Is that not the case?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] pizzaboy192:
That is indeed the case. One is running full android inside the card. But once one gets a full build of Android running in the card, it's a matter of trimming it down to just an app player. CHDroid is proof that we can have running dalvik. We just need to get it set so that we can have different icons on our Launcher and it passes the rest to the Android in card. Plus, with a "full" form of Android inside the card, it'll be possible for us to run applications that like to filter out devices. If it doesn't like that we're identifying that it's a WebOS tablet, we can tell it to run as an Android tablet with whatever device ID we want. (It is android after all... you can supposedly do anything with it).
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] tekowalsky:
This is a really great idea. It seems to have died out though. I hope I'm wrong about that.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Chance617:
So this is a no go?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Chance617:
Sad
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Chance617:
Was really looking forward to this, I love webos :*(
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Moses580:
PalmDroid is a much better approach... especially, because you don't need to mess up your webos system so much, like exchanging the linux kernel and so on, like chdroid has to do.

And you don't have all that unnecessary overhead of andriod running arround... you don't need another e-mail client waiting or gtalk or whatever android does in the background. It will all be there... Trying to strip these out will certainly be harder than to write a dalvik port.

I'd give it a try, if I had some more spare time... I tried to contact the only dev to offer some help, but got no response... :(

*Thread Revived*

Any [new] considerations for this project now since HP is open-sourcing WebOS?

I think its great news, then what I always dreamed about may come true:

Create the most* advanced mobileOS ??

Basically organize a group like the Cyanogen-Mod-Team into a three step process:

First construct the base (from all these spare parts):

-Linux kernel (3.1.4)

-WebOS bits (CSS, HTML)

-MeeGo bits (mobile optimizations, Qt)

-Android App Compatability (Dalvik engine port from Palmdroid Project/Myriad's Alien Dalvik)

Next build a competent UX:

-I have a great UX in mind (a blend of WebOS, ICS and MIUI) !!!

Finally port it to a very popular (new) hardware to gain traction:

-Nook Tablet

-ASUS Transformer

-Galaxy Nexus

Android eat your frozen heart out, mwahahahah!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HandOfReform:
Alright, well, I've just had a bit of a personal crisis and here is how it happened:

I went to the Verizon store in town after I got out of school today and decided to pick myself up a nice new galaxy tab 10.1. I've been doing quite a bit of work lately with my Droid X2 and was feeling quite a bit over-confident so I quickly had the tab rooted and was running CWM in no time. So when I got back to it I flashed my very first ROM, which was: poitee's http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1200387. Now when I went to boot my device back up after the successful flash I was greeted not by a nice overclocked, fresh, fast Galaxy tab but instead by the galaxy tab logo followed by the horrible black screen. Fortunately I'm still very able to get into CWM recovery and download mode however I can't seem to get past that with anything i do, I already have ODIN3 and the filesfordummies.zip but I can't seem to flash anything that will fix this tab.

I REALLY don't want to take it back to Verizon as it would be painfully obvious I've tampered with it, but my little time with it was fantastic.

So my question is how should I go about getting this back to how it was rooted and CWM installed, or at the very least back to stock so that I can work with it some more, then after that what ROM's should I use? I can't seem to find many designed for the LTE version that use any overclocks, so what is everyone else using?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] HandOfReform:
Quick Update: It seems to be booting fine now, I'm about to re-root it, but other than that it just booted and went into setup. Odd thing is that there's no more 4G LTE splash screen...I'm not too sure whats going on, any help is definitely appreciated here, but as it's working again I think I'm off to bed.

Also still questioning the ROM's...what is the best to use with the LTE Verizon model?

Edit: Alright nevermind about the rooting, I seem to have managed to get rid of any form of recovery, when I try to choose recovery mode from the power + volume down menu it just turns the device off...not sure what I've done here but I am definitely needing assistance.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] vectorcharlie:
I have the same problem, no one seems to answer a couple of posts. I can get to APX mode by holding down and power with the computer not connected to the tablet, and connecting right after it goes to black.

Also, if instead of volume + you hit volume down when asking to confirm recovery, it gets to some kind of "waiting for USB" but nothing happens...

PLEASE HELP!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] K Rich:
Are you sure that ROM is for a LTE Tab? I think it's only for wifi Tab...

I have a friend who bought the Touchpad during the fire sale and registered it under his name/WebOS account. He would rather continue to use his iPad instead, so he is going to sell it to me at his cost. How do I change the info on it and register it to me/create a WebOS account for me?

Does this require a wipe/reinstall of the OS? Can it be changed on the tablet itself? Do I have to call HP tech support to do this? Thanks for any info you guys provide.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] sjjones:
Restore/reset it and you will be able enter your own info, you will of course loose the apps he purchased

im not changing anything else, but for some reason it ALWAYS messes up

anyone got an idea?
[HTC EVO 3D] mazook98:
I'm pretty sure that you just make sure it's in the right SPOT, set the correct permissions, (change back from rewritable to read-only after inserting with those permissions) and reboot WITHOUT ACTUALLY INSTALLING...(using a dalvik wipe immediately after also , I'm sure.). I've had the same issues with changing 'proprietary' system apps before, and that trick has always helped me.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
Hi,

I am trying to extract the kernel from mmcblk0p20 using unpack-bootimg.pl

from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2885020&postcount=1

I can get a valid ramdisk out of it but the kernel is not a gz file as it should be.

Any hint?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nbetcher:
The kernel is not exactly a "gzipped" file because the first part of it has bootloader code that provides a mechanism to uncompress the remaining part of the kernel (which uses a form of gzip provided by a micro zlib).

More importantly, what are you trying to accomplish? The "kernel" image that comes from split_bootimg.pl (or such) is the actual file you use to re-pack, etc. Unless of course you're trying to decompile the kernel for reverse engineering purposes, but that would be pointless and you wouldn't be asking this question if that were the case. :P

If you're trying to get the kernel config, use extract-ikconfig from the 'scripts' directory in the Linux source tree. You have to invoke it by cd'ing into the Linux source directory and doing:

./scripts/extract-ikconfig /path/to/your/kernel-file &> /where/you/want/the/resulting-config

(you can't cd into 'scripts' and have it work).

Enjoy.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Etn40ff:
As you say unpacking the kernel to get the configuration is pointless: I could get it on htcdev without any effort.

I just had a boring night and I tried to kill it repacking my own flavour of android.

I was not able to make it boot so I started guessing which problem I was having; the kernel seemed a reasonable candidate (I was convinced that I was stripping the header away from it when unpacking)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OpenMinded:
how could you acquire that kernel? last time I checked there was no source?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
You need the kernel source before a kernel can be made. Thats the sucky part.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nbetcher:
Eh? No. A kernel exists, just in binary form. HTC has yet to release the source code, but unless you plan to modify parts of it, there's not much point.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OpenMinded:
A kernel source is no problem, I got it from android github.

The issue is the mods htc made and added, and the tools around it they used to compile.

I would like to compile my own, to optimize (did it on linux too).

If anyone can explain me simple how to use the binary kernel, I am happy too for now, if that makes me able to compile CM7 :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OpenMinded:
Anyone? Can't be too hard since a lot of folks pulled it of?

I have a lot of technical experience, just need some android specific info :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
I know nothing bout kernels. They scare me. I'll stick to ROM making. :P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nbetcher:
It's not quite that simple. They don't just 'mod' the kernel, they add device support to it. The upstream Linux kernel does not support the latest and greatest Qualcomm-based devices, so HTC uses their own repository based on Codeaurora (http://www.codeaurora.org) which is downstream from Qualcomm. Confused yet? :D

Point being: Linux will not run properly on our device until we have either the HTC Sensation source, Doubleshot source, or someone sifts through and pieces together all of the various sources needed from Codeaurora.

To use the binary form, just use boot.img from our device's HBOOT image.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OpenMinded:
Thank you for the explanation.

I have been compiling kernels on linux, I know we need drivers and that HTC patches the kernel. I did not know about codeaurora, thanks :).

The HTC Sensation kernel source is on the HTC website:

http://developer.htc.com

I was wondering undead, how do you compile other ROMS? You just strip what is not needed? I thought you know how tot strip just the kernel, since you made a senseless rom.

I will try using the boot.img, thanks.

Does that mean porting a Sense rom would only require swapping the boot.img from another Sense 2.0/3.0 rom?

Thanks for the info :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
LOL. No its still the sense base and uses the stock boot.img from the stock ROM. It's still HTC at its core. Like I said I know 0 'zero' about kernels.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OpenMinded:
point taken :). I think I just made a working zip containing only the stock kernel.

If I have time, I will try to put that kernel in a AOSP rom for the Sensation and see what that does. may take some time...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OpenMinded:
does any1 know how to mod the device checking of a rom?

i get an error 7, found it is because of the device check.

I modded the update script and binary from the Senation Alpha cm7 and got that error, which seems to point to a different model of phone.

I would like to work around it and see if the kernel works with cm7 :)

Called tmobile since this last replacements screen was way horrible the entire top of the screen was unstuck causing loads of screen bleed.

I wont be able to made little mods for the G2x anymore and was really hoping on porting the sense wallpaper to the tegra chipset but its not happening now.

They told me a replacement cannot be give for the G2x but a Sensation is a compatible match and was given to me as a "Force replacement" according to te supervisor.

I was pissed that this was done and hopefully i get the chance to buy a new G2x on craigslist :(

Careful buying off Craigslist. There return policy is waaay more strict than tmo.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vapor311:
After 3 tmobiles return policy is a new phone not a warranty replacement. Not sure if you're dealing with them on the phone but go into a store. Also don't use the screen issues as reason for return they aren't suppose to be doing any returns/exchange for that. If you have GPS/reboot /sleep of death issues they can warranty exchange 3 times if still an issue they are to give a new phone no refurbs. That's from my store manager here locally. I'm waiting on warranty replacement #2 the first one was so bad at sleep of death I shipped it back the same day and kept my original that reboots several times. At least for the majority of tbw time it comes back on.
