I am trying to work on this but have had limited time due to workload these last few weeks.

I am trying to compile a 2.6.32 kernel but am having to learn as I go and there is very limited assistance with regards to the athena due to most developing android for other devices

Not sure about the uni? I would think it would need its own kernel to accomodate differences in hardware between the devices

there has been a lot more development in this front, if i can get Android to Dual Boot and make/receive calls + GPS + smooth video play back, then i'll make it my default boot, and cook it into a ROM.

As long as it runs faster than WM6.x else there isn't much point, the only reason i hate WM6 is because of its lack of support for the ATI chip.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] fortissimo:
avengerpenguin, please don't mind this fool's post. It is obvious that a lay person would say it is not too hard to build a bridge, design a car, fly to the moon, and can say that without even trying it himself.

I guess the proper answer is this "If this is not too hard, then why don't you do it yourself?", and I don't even think it is too rude to say it given how absurd the comment was.

avengerpenguin, thanks to you and others, who make xdadevelopers such as lively and great dev scene. Without you guys, there would be much less enjoyment of (boring) WM devices! Keep it up!

I am very excited buy this venture, I was looking at my HTC x7500 collecting dust the other day, and was considering chopping it in for a new dell streak, but this would be awesome if this would work.

TV-out, gps, 3g calls, gravity sensor and decent apps to use, touch screen & or keyboard. It would I think revitalize the HTC X7500 scene.

Good luck with the project.

Hello Mistadman.

I happen to have a HTC x7500 which I don't use often. Maybe we can accelerate the development of a good Android image bij setting up a testing traject. If you are willing to make (final) test sets then I can deploy them on my phone and share the findings with you.

Also other developpers are welcome to do so.

Let's make a better world, start with the X7500 :rolleyes:

Hey guys, how's it coming with the Android for Athena?

I have my HTC X7510 sitting on the side lines now waiting to test out

already installed dual boot and such, just need a working image to run it on

either that, or a full SPL image to replace WM6 completely

X7510 is a powerful beast, sad that it's being wasted on WM

even if we can't go beyond Android 2.1 & 2.2 it's still way better OS to run our phone at full speed than WM

Linux on Athena

I hired a team of Linux hackers from India, to see if they could get Linux running on this device. They were not able to get past the ATI graphics issue since there is no documentation for it. Apparently the keyboard and camera are operated through this hardware. So even if you have a kernel that partially works, there will always be minimal functionality with Linux running on this device.

I also spoke with a Service Rep from Igelle Linux who also ran into the same problems.

In my honest opinion, I believe this project is dead since we do not have documentation or drivers for the ATI hardware, and we will not be able to move forward.

The only way it could be possible is if someone wrote a Linux driver for the ATI Hardware, and that is still difficult without documentation.

Yes in theory it is possible if you have the time and the knowledge to build a kernel and port android to it.

the next best thing, is i might instead try to get ubuntu into it, as it has more build in drivers than android

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] avengerpenguin:
I hate to say it, but you all really need to give up on this project, I spent literally hundreds of hours working on this years ago and during that time android and the corresponding hardware moved so quickly that it became not worth it.

I still have 2 athena's here, but the hardware is so far out of date compared to what is available now and very cheap capacitive android tablets can be bought for next to no money and I struggle to see what the athena can bring that these can't.

You will wasting your time I am afraid, if I recall correctly the GIT repo's dont even carry the code for the device anymore.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] notime2d8:
Yeah, i worked on this a good bit too and even got android running on it from a jumpdrive. But it was a lost cause as we have no info on the ATI chip which meant no drivers which meant no hardware acceleration, MMC, sound, or camera's. The microdrive was working on the x7500 but there was no source or driver for the SSD in the x7510. It would've been nice and still would be since the athena's are so cool but the age and availability of information makes it impossible.

[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] freeZbies:
Since I bought the Moto G5 I always used platform tools (ADB + Fastboot) version r27.

Two weeks ago I updated to the latest version (r28) and had no problems using ADB, but when I first used Fastboot I was unfortunate to get the following error before every flash operation:

(bootloader)is-logical:not found

And the flash process apparently went on normally, but it did not, it just bricked my phone.

I googled for the error and found out several Motorola users were having the same issue with other devices too (Moto X2, Moto G5 Plus and I found one other Cedric user with the same problem).

After trying several firmwares with no success I realized the problem was with Fastboot, so I tried both Fastboot r26 and r27 and both flashed my phone normally, but again on r28 I had the issue above, so I warn you all to stay away from Fastboot r28.

Of course it only soft bricked my phone, but if I were relocking my bootloader or flashing a newer firmware using Fastboot r28, I'd hard brick my phone for sure, since that's what to be expected from a failed attempt to flash gpt.bin or bootloader.img
[Moto G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] xtermmin:
I've been using fastboot v28 with no issues. I used it flash my G5 from Nougat to Oreo a month or so ago, used it to unlock my bootloader, flash TWRP, and flash a custom bootlogo. I do get those "(bootloader)is-logical:not found" messages, but I think it has to do with fastboot looking for the partition structure used on native-Oreo devices for Treble, but I'm not sure. Hasn't been an issue for me though. (FWIW, I'm on Linux)

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Somehowko:
Hi!

Can we force input an mcfg_sw.mbn file to be read?

Now, I think I got the basic flow of the system (that the file transfers from firmware -> vendor -> data folder and according to mcfg_sw.txt, one of them will be read / sig file will confirm the integrity of the file)

but as there is .sig file, updating the modem.img manually (where I would simply add mbn file and update mfcg_sw.sig) doesn't work.

I've been looking for an answer, and I understand (as far as I know) mfcg_sw.sig file is a unique file which only OnePlus uses.

Loading a file directly through PDC doesn't work (it will load - refresh, but won't show the mbn file)

I tried to extract the mcfg partition of mbn files, but it didn't work as well. (though it might!)

I know we can directly change through EFS. But, I just couldn't find any information on how we can extract contemporary mbn files from the mcfg_sw.mbn files.

Please share if you know any insights on this!

Thank you!
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] nealed:
Did you ever get an answer / find out how to do this? Thanks.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Somehowko:
Nope, tried everything I could think of and got nothing.

As far as I can know, ever since mcfg_sw.sig file was introduced, there is no way around.

I really don't get why it was needed nor why Oneplus wouldn't just put a massive amount of carrier information but for now, direct efs change is the only way.

If you have any insight for this matter, please share with me!

I never use a phone has that horrible quality. For my last phone, XR, even not crashed from 1m dropped without any protection and the screen didn't crash at all. What should I do?

[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] pbanj:
The things with screens is it isn't really the height that kills them. It's how it lands that really decides if it will shatter or not. I've had phones survive being launched off my lap and across the parking lot but then not survive a less than a foot drop on to the floor in my house.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] GuestD0636:

I'll add my name to the list. Wife dropped her phone from waist height yesterday. Bought on Sunday. Smashed screen. Our Cases are being delivered today. . We have insurance but still. Is Dragon tail glass that much weaker than Gorilla glass?
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] bobby janow:
If you drop weighted glass on the floor 9 times out of 10 it will break no matter the height. If you don't have a case on and it doesn't break consider yourself lucky.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] teknhard:
Totally. Not suggesting otherwise but still sucks. We bought at a store that didn't have cases, and had to wait for Amazon.

That said: anyone know the difference between the two glass types? I watched the bend test and thought it was pretty amazing how much pressure the phone withstood and didn't break.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
Afaik there are no definitive tests to compare the 2. Anyone who says the dragontrail is weaker is speaking solely on the fact that it was cheaper to manufacture with this instead of gorilla glass. The jerryrigeverything video seems to suggest it scratches at the exact same level of the mohs hardness scale. I think a bad drop without protection is a bad drop, regardless which flavor of glass your device is rocking.

You looked into replacement options? Phone seems relatively simple to take apart based on teardown videos. Maybe save a few bucks and give a replacement a go, assuming parts are available.
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] teknhard:
Luckily I have insurance (figured going caseless, I would take it for the first month)

Screen replacement seems cheap. I think 129.00 in Canada through the shop
[Google Pixel 3a Guides, News, & Discussion] jmtjr278:
You'd be surprised what you can do yourself. There are very good teardown videos and you set yourself up just in case down the road. If parts are available on eBay you can save and learn.
