If you go back just 1 page (page 32) you will find the next post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2453894&postcount=313 .

I've already explained that they are working on there own, also have there own page, and not easily share there stuff to the community... So that's why I didn't continue the development of that page.

Also created a internet settings database "which they needed" but never used it, so I ain't going to waste more time to this project.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Too bad :'( i want Android on my polaris with the XDA member who are really great community :'(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
That's just too bad. Such a project would really benefit from working as a community. By sharing findings, code and ideas as a team rather than just a few hackers sitting alone in a basement and not wanting to share. There have been a lot of the same on the iPhone scene. Different teams working in secret craving fame and glory is selfish imho.

Granted 90% of comments and ideas from the average bob-user would be of little or no value, but still it must be much better being part of a bigger team driving something forward instead of sitting in the dark trying to do things yourself.

My C and C++ skills are rusty and like linux I havent used it since university which was about 10 years ago. Otherwise I'd have a go downloading and compiling the SDK myself.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dubbeld00:
I totally agree... I tried to develop, but to me it isn't clear who is doing what... I was porting the touchscreen driver, only Premy also did this (you can read it a few pages back), never get an answer on who is doing what, so I've decided to stop developing.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Noooooooooo please continue to develope, i can help you as far as i can. I really don't want this project died.

Just when the Android is finish and release in version 1.0
[Touch Cruise Android Development] lordox:
Nooo plz... don't stop !-(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] halorin:
Sounds like those guys are getting the fame they're seeking, only it may in fact turn out to be infamy, heh.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dubbeld00:
woow on the "don't stop" comment, I never even started, I only explained to all the guys who want to develop, how it is possible... I tried to get the development going, and it was picked up by premy on this topic.

The development of the kaiser is still active: http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/kaiser-bootkit/README.txt

On polaris I don't know, maybe premy is still active... The only thing that I tried to say is that it is impossible to help the development at this stage... I never stopped, but also will never start developing for the Polaris... I'll leave it to the "unknown" guys out there... And wish them all the luck of course.

Hope to hear from any developer soon how the development for our device is going... But like I said, I don't know anyone, they don't let people in, so for us it is just sit and wait till there is news :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] szsoftware:
Hey guys,

don't be impatient. I'm sure, the devels only have to cure their holidays sunburn. Did you ever fall asleep on an air mattress, lying on the belly? :)

Ok, just kidding. If you wan't to know about the devel state, you can read the IRC logs from Channel #htc-linux on freenode. One irc2html site is http://ibot.rikers.org/%23htc-linux/.

If you got into this stuff (more or less deeply) and if you have qualified questions, there are almost all devels we know from this forum and most are willing answer your questions.

Note, there are not polaris specific devels.E.g. Lukas Gorris (lgorris aka dcordes) develops htc stuff commonly, imho most kaiser specific and as much as he can, he considers polaris and shares the development through image files and so on.

There is much going on in development, but in several small steps. Yes, so far as I know, the devels sitting one by one alone in their chambers and develop (sometimes on their specific issue). But the chambers are geographically spread. In the irc they are one team again. We didn't pay them, so let they do what they are willing to do.

One tip for the impatient: Don't read this thread for two months. Then visit again, also this sites:

- http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/

- http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/

and the above mentioned irc logs.

You will be amazed, what was going on in only two months!

CU all,

szsoftware

P.S.: I'm sure soon we can chat using polaris with echo, cat and netcat, :D
[Touch Cruise Android Development] coolbtk:
I'm also using a Touch Cruise on T-Mo US. playing around with Android this morning. Not sure if we can be of any help to each other, but i'd be interested in talking with you. if we could get some things working, i also could probably get access to a AT&T sim card for testing as well...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
The vogue project release new file with SDK 0.9 http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/

I want this on my Polaris .......... :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dwaradzyn:
Yeah me too :) The blocking problem is the infameous DMA SD issue. If it gets sorted we will almost instantly have 0.9 working on Polaris.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Bootloader?

Is anyone working on a boot loader or a way to bake Android into a bootable ROM? I mean, we can keep running Android through HaRet forever. On my Polaris it only boots about 1 of 10 times. I imagine creating device specific boot loaders for the Android is not going to be that easy. Lets hope I'm wrong :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] miammiam:
new video running polaris android

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV_fsLkNTEE
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Is this built on the 0.9 SDK? If so, would you mind sharing your files so that others can try as well?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Der-Tim:
This would be really interesting, as of now, Android's not booting on my Device...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
Erm.. sorry I'm confused, this video doesnt show anything different from since when the thread started.. ??!

The user doesnt actually make a call he inputs the digits and used the SEND / END CALL to close the menu and likewise, with the programs and the Web Browser.

Its still unstable as in boots in 2/10 attempts and the keys are still mis-mapped (camera key to use keyboard etc).

Dont want to sound like a negative nancy, its just that from what I've read in the Kaiser forums there seems to have been a lot more progress made including making calls and using GPRS.

I think the user was just glad to get it booted and had to show everyone - dont blame him/her either - I was ecstatic when I got it to finally boot! :D
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Exchange push?

Talking about Android, the one must-have feature that was the whole reason for me to choose WM vs Nokia/Sony Ericsson etc. was the direct exchange connection with "real-time" sync of mail, contacts and calendar.

Anyone know if Android will have this ability too?

Too bad, no progress for the polaris.

i really hope we can run android rapidly when the gphone relaease by T-mobile on october
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bally3:
is anyone working on this project?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Skywalker74:
I wonder if there is any progress ... Please, anyone with some news, do not hesitate to write here and make some people happy! :-)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dubbeld00:
Guess there is nothing to post about... don't you think too... Try the new udK ROM, it's a beauty :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Waiting for the official release of the first android phone end of september maybe 23 or on october and the project can speed again to migrate from G1 phone to other HTC device like polaris

edit: the 23 september seems to be confirmed yataaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dcordes:
no worries, just check the kaiser thread. polaris development goes simultaneously with kaiser development since they are all the same.

I can make a poalris kernel later this day from the new 2.6.25 code and you can check if it still works in premy's bootkit at http://www.linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/polaris-bootkit/
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Yes please.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
:):):):)

Wait for it !!!!!! Thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Mormy:
:) A good news! :)

Thanks you very much!
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dcordes:
it's not as easy as I thought because polaris depends on the touchscreen driver from vogue and other things that have not been pulled over to 2.6.25 yet. I'm trying that but it's not easy for me.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
if i can help and test i'm OK, Polaris with lastest R0 from udK Rom.

I hope viewing ROM's dump Tuesday 23 from G1 T-mobile Android phone.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dcordes:
ok thanks I will upload a test kernel later. does the onscreen keyboard work in polaris-bootkit.zip? is it critical?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
in the lastest 0.8 version and angstrom version the onscreen keyboard worked well.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dcordes:
http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/zImage-polaris-2.6.25-test

ok great here is a first test. please replace zImage from the polaris-bootkit at http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/polaris-bootkit/android_polaris_20080718.zip with it and see what happens, what works and what doesn't
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Boot process stop at the line :

And after that i can't read the line under.

Soft reset and i 'll retry

edit: same problem again
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
I can confirm, tested all three polaris-zImage files on the site.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
I have send a MP to premy, cause drcodes said me he is the only android developpers to have a polaris and can fix thix error.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
confirm the problem on my Polaris, using a French ROM. It seems that there is another error before this line :

[Touch Cruise Android Development] sipospeter:
will it officialy work on Polaris?

Hello! Sorry but I didn't have time to read all the posts here but as most of you are in tweaking the Polaris since a long time I hope you can answer me. All I'd like to know: is there a chance that older HTC devices like Polaris will have a fully functional and working release of android? Can Polaris officialy work only with WM or is it possible with any other operation system that is compatible with its hardware? As I see everyone here think that with the release of HTC Dream there's a big chance of a working android on this phone but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't find any information that convinced me that this is absolutely certain. Thanks.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
@sipospeter only 2 messages and you ask question without reading the thread.

Just look the first previous post and you can read there is another error.

We must wait the release of the official google android. for the moment only 0.8 SDK boots fine on polaris.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
The only certain thing is that you aint gonna live forever :)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] swieep:
Version..

Hi,

I just compiled a zImage with help of the Kaiser thread, but how can I check the version within Android on the phone?..
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Download the Polaris boot kit from here: http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/index.php?path=polaris-bootkit/

Replace the zImage with your own and modify the txt file to match your carrier. Then start HaRET. Sometimes HaRET needs several tries before it start to load Linux.

If you have any success then please let us know.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dcordes:
I disabled a few things. can somebody try and boot

http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/zImage-polaris-2.6.25-test-4

thanks
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
Same problem with test4. Sorry ...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] swieep:
Hi Pananza,

Thank you for your reply, what I meant is I already replaced the zImage with my compiled version, and I can boot and start Android, but I was looking within Android to find out wich version I was running.. but could not find that option..

(and, no sound, keyboard makes is hard to use the phone, but it looks promissing..)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Thanks you for trying, this zImage stops too. But this time I cannot see the garbled line that the other one was showing on stop.

This is what's displayed on boot (fonts are very small so there might be some mistakes):
[Touch Cruise Android Development] swieep:
installed test-4..

last few lines on screen are:

(the font is hard to read, so 0 or O and m and n.. are questionable)

Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 60x53

tsts_thread: address 0x48

msm_serial: detected port m0

Unknown clock!

msm_serial.0: ttyMSM0 at MMIO 0xa9a0000 (irq = 9) is a MSM

This version work, but when i touch the contact its reboot with the red light from the loading screen, mas and browser don't work.

When he said you should enter username and password on default.txt which one ?PIN code?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] be_vigilant:
the user name and password you enter in default.txt are the ones that access the 3G network. So its your operator data username and password.

Such as 02,Vodaphone

I am on Hutchinson 3 so my data username and password is blank so I just enter

"ppp.username= ppp.password="

However is still fails to boot. I have tried using the kaiser zImage along with the new vogue initrd-android.

Still locks up on the cylon loading screen. The green light does begin to flash like its making a data\cellular connection.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] niofar:
In my polaris this application don't work. It stays in "supercar" :D spotlight
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Rroet:
This is for T-mobile NL

"ppp.username=internet ppp.password=internet"
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
Apparently there is a new version from "marbalon" which accept application and keyboard, is there anyone able to program the button for polaris ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Scalap:
Hi everyone,

I tried to make it worked with the version given in the first post (coming from Kaiser forum i believe) but it always stopped at the very end of the "Haret: Booting Linux ..."

It tried different solutions : with GPRS On / with GPRS Off / Linked to the Computer, with GPRS On / Linked to the Computer, with GPRS Off.

After that, I began sobbing and drinking my own tears...

5 minutes later, I changed the zImage from Kaiser for the brand new one made for Vogue (http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/) and I launched it directly (linked and without GPRS) : a few seconds later i saw the tux and after that the famous red light going left and right ! I was thinking : "yes, you did it !! you're really an hacker, a tough one !"

But........the red light never went away...

Have you got a clue of what is happening ? Or maybe this is not the right place for an answer ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] surgex0:
Awesome guys!!

We are one step closer to having some kick ass devices!

I, like everyone else, do NOT want to purchase another device just to have it run fast. Hopefully android can save us from a world of lag.

I have it working on your polaris be_vigilant ? Because i'm still in trouble with mine ! Which initrd do you use ? The one for the vogue or the one for the Kaiser ?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] cr2:
The SMEM layout on polaris is the same as on Kaiser! So you will not have

much luck with the vogue kernel.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Scalap:
you are certainly right, but I had the same lack of succes with the two kernels... it always freeze at the red light step. :(
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Desperado1987:

[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
There are some news on this web site http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ but with this image i can't boot. Haret run well but, it blocks with the tux and a green keyboard, Imust soft reset.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Scalap:
same thing happens to me. But, as cr2 said, this kernel is made for the vogue and not for the polaris. the closest kernel version from our polaris seems to be the one developped for the kaiser.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
I find this kernel on this Thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=383695&highlight=android&page=46

all the zImage and init files before were good and I successed to launch android on my Cruise with touch screen on.

Special ROM needed?

Dear Boys [and Girls ;-) ],

I just tried to boot the following zImages using haret 0.5.1:

http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/zImage

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2213797

I both stuck at the "HaRET: Booting Linux ..."-Message.

The progress bar stops extending shortly before the end of it.

BTW: haret says "Found machine Generic MSM7500". But mine consists of MSM7200, isn't it?

Do I need a special rom for using haret or a special (deprecated) haret for my rom?

Please, take a look at my signature for device issues.

Here is the haret log:

Did you read the news about android?

http://www.hwupgrade.it/news/telefonia/android-e-alla-porte-ecco-l-htc-dream_25471.html
[Touch Cruise Android Development] schaggo:
Yes, I just read it. And I really like the first comment:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Rroet:
Sadly enough I can't get it to work after building a kernel myself today.

Current git tree somehow doesn't even allow me to get passed haret...

Anybody else experiencing this?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Svenvdmeer:
Maybe a stupid question but what does the fact that, the first android phone is out, mean for us polaris users. Are you able to make it into a rom for the polaris or is that not possible. I have also read things about google wanting to make roms for excisting phones? Is there a big chance that the polaris will get one.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dcordes:
I don't see any problems with polaris in the the 2.6.24 branch . did you build from the "htc-msm" branch with polaris defconfig?

the screen is messed up (still in console mode)

it continues printing something but i can't tell what
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
it boots but the screen is not correct. split in 2 like at the begin of the developpement ( don't remember which SDK 6 maybe)
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
Start booting. On the screen, I've red lines then ... the screen is displayed but not useabled.

Screen is split in 2. When I presse a button, the screen becomes strange, with Horizontal lines quite everywhere ....

So it's better than previous versions, but seems to be a bug with video driver ...

Good luck ... We all stand by you ...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] imfloflo:
try the lol version works fine here
[Touch Cruise Android Development] pananza:
Great, can also confirm that the lol version boots. But I see that the onscreen keyboard is no longer working. Earlier we could toggle it with the camera-button. Is still seems to work, it's just not displayed. Makes it kind of hard to type :)

Now, zImage contains the boot files and kernel right? The android OS and apps is in initrd-android, right?

So next step is a new initrd-android?
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
I confirm it boot well, but hte previous version (august) was quite more useable.

Still not possible to change clock, to have keyboard, ... but video driver seems to be better that in beta5 version
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dcordes:

I have tested this with test-lol kernel. After pressing power button a menu showed up. I tried every option. "Turn off screen" and "Turn off radio" had no visible effect. After choosing "Turn off power" the menu stopped appearing when pressing power button.
[Touch Cruise Android Development] bedelaitre:
Same for me ...
[Touch Cruise Android Development] dcordes:
ok thanks. btw, you asked for the 2.6.25 source. it's not in git and maybe we will wait to go 2.6.27 first. here is the 2.6.25 codebase I experiment with now: http://headfuzz.co.uk/files/android/git-diff-2.6.25-170908.diff

it's a patch against android-msm-2.6.25 from git.android.com

sorry the following might look a bit like spam but I really want it to be seen:
[Touch Cruise Android Development] Rroet:
Ahh a polaris defconfig? I just followed the previous thread, it might be set for a kaiser then. Is there any addon package I should put into the android-kernel directory to set it specifically for polaris?
