ok I spoke to him and convinced him to do it for no Charge FTW and hes working on it NOW!, he says he wants to see how much you guys value his time by shooting him a drink at his paypal loraine234@hotmail.com and btw his ETA is 2 weeks! and all androids will be functional for our phone! I gave him my donation of 20 bucks and my kaiser as his test dummy, everyone please shoot him a donation he said he would also try to work with HTC-CA devs on making a lot better d3d drivers, but he says he couldnt do it himself but could give some input, im so happy now my kaiser is not gonna be useless yet :)!!

HOLY CRAP HE managed to get it working???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Gh0sTly:
Seeing as how long this thread is, it would take me hours to read, so I figured I would just ask.

Has there been any development of Android for the Hermes yet? From my understanding, the Kaiser is the Tilt/TyTN II, and aparently isnt TOO dissimilar to the Hermes. Anyway, I was just wondering.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] sswalia:
no, i dont believe a linux kernel for the hermes is currently being developed.

From what i can tell, the hermes has a msm6000 level chip- which i think is too different to use the 7201 kernel that google has created as a basis.

However, if you can get linux to run on your device, then running android shoulnt be too difficult.

Saw this news report this morning and a couple of the Q&A's made me smile.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7080758.stm

Specifically...

Will my current phone work with Android?

No. You will have to buy a new phone that is running the Android platform.

How little do they know lol...

Also in the second question they they state that HTC has joined the Open Handset Alliance so does that mean that HTC will be dropping Windows Mobile in future handsets?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] gthing:
No. Just like joining the football team doesn't mean you have to give up on marching band.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bornwild:
When are we gonna have v1.0 on kaiser!?!?! I love Android just by looking at the youtube clips....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] badbrad4080:
ok and btw he say thank you to the following people who donated

Paul Dubs: 1 USD

Amanda Carlson: 10 USD

I asked him if he could make it a solo boot and his response was, yes but wm has to be on the phone but he would try to make it look like its not there and have android boot without you seeing wm boot and hes thinking to make this only available to people who donated 10 bucks or more, but paul your in luck he said just because you were one of the first to donate you will recieve it too as a thank you for taking the initiative to appreciate his efforts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] badbrad4080:
As soon as hes done, we will have 1.0 and everything beyond that! just as side note if you guys aren't donating and appreciating his efforts he most likely wont try to help us again, as i don't think you guys know how time consuming it is and without support and appreciation devs. arnt gonna want to do it again.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Civil:
Isn't the point of developing the SD driver to allow the android port to move forward? How is providing the driver to an individual going to help the community? If your mystery developer is trying to work on a complete, stable port of android 1.0 for Kaiser, then that's too much for one person. We need a community based project that can be supported by several people for bug fixes and improvements. If your developer is not going to be involved through the life of the project, we will need the source code to keep things moving forward.

I think people here (including myself) will gladly donate once we see the project make progress and have a beta release running on Kaiser. I'm hesitant to donate money to an anonymous account.

Forgive me for being a "doubting thomas", but we live in a time where Nigerian princes or family inheritances are promising untold fortunes to unsuspecting email recipients on a daily basis.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] drdingo21:
Word. I'm not paying for a product that I haven't seen working. I think the term for that is bait and switch.

If the mystery guy puts out a working platform - I have no problem donating but otherwise forget it.

$399 w/o contract.

T-mobile will unlock the phone after 90 days.

I may just spend the $399 wait 90 days and then cancel the account.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] herczyn:
are you 100% sure?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] bworls:
Form Engadget interview with T-mobile CTO Cole Brodman.

More interestingly, buyers would be able to have access to a "contract free" G1 (with a price point of $399), and could unlock the device with T-Mobile's blessing after 90 days. Brodman also said that the company's policy of unlocking phones for customers in good standing wouldn't change for this phone.

Hi,

Had no time for the zImage yesterday because I got involved in serious movie watching and beer drinking.

I commited my latest changes to

http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-msm

and build the attached zImage from it. So when you boot this you're up to date. Please try it out and tell me if it works. If so, somebody please put it on the first page and remove the other zImages because they are obsoleted by the new one then and are not suitable for testing anymore.

Also the zImage in the .cab file by shady is outdated. Maybe create a new cab file with the attached image (if it works of course).

I would test it myself on kaiser but can't atm.

Regarding the modem/radio/whatever you like to call it: We won't get anywhere if not somebody will correct the AT send buffer registers in arch/arm/mach-msm/kaiser-smd.c or figure out what else causes the AT send to not work.

So in other words using kaiser with linux as a working phone is just one step away.

Thanks

This zImage boot on my Cruise but always the same graphic bug
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xmoo:
Well the demo's you may have watched. Are fully supported Google Android phones with working Radio. So the phone can be on g, e, h, wifi... That's why the maps work on the demo's.

You probably using the zImage what is in the cab. That is the first zImage. Keyboard is not fully working and Android freezes after 3/4 minits.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] xmoo:
Added in first Thread. Gonna try this zImage. Thx.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] slovoflud:
boots fine on MDA Vario III - froze after 3 mins of use.

I had the kubus running for 15mins. Then the screen went blank... The pressed the power button and the screen came back. Then the Kubus worked again for 5 mins the screen went blank again. But this time I am not able to get it out of sleep :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] wally21:
the sreen freezes the 1ste time in API demos but recoverd . later i was at the photo's in 3D translation en when i looked to the 3th image it freezes and needed a soft reset.

also i dont get the "pong" when launching android. My screen just turns black, but androided is booting always:D I'am using the official HTC wm6.1 ROM

yer i can boot the new one gunna go back try the old one with api demo's etc.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] badbrad4080:
lol, its ok to have doubt, you dont have to donate, as a donation is a thought of appreciation and is not required, but as a thanks back the people who donated will be getting a solo boot rom of android, it will have wm on it but wont be noticeable and wont be able to use it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] badbrad4080:
That is completely find, do as you want btw there will be no beta just a final release and if it isnt up to pare then he will fix the bugs, but no half wirrten stuff and he stated to me he doesnt need any help, his quote "was too many cooks in one kitchen spoils the soup"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] herczyn:
this is sounding stranges and stranger.

why doesn't he visit this forum?

how can he be sure that he won't reach an obstacle with the drivers?

if he wants money first why doesn't he show any screenshots at least?

i'm not donating until i see some proof.

ps. i too received an email from an nigerian prince and i turns out it was the real deal, i now am a millionare and have two castles. dont be afraid to send them money! ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] badbrad4080:
As said before its a donation and he wants to make sure he nots wasting his time and he owns an iphone why would he be on here, hes a dev and a personal friend of mine and is really good on linux and said he an do it, why are you fulling up the thread with your useless post? If you dont want to donate or dont have anything to contribute with dev of andriod keep it to yourself, donation is not a requirement, its gift please no one waste this thread with garbage. IF he does face issues which he will, i doubt he wont be able to fix it but he will ask the vogue android creator for some insight if needed.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] muffdoc:
if he's really good with linux, why on earth would he need WM?

IT should boot to Linux from the SPL screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] badbrad4080:
I asked him your question and he said it would take a lot longer to do that, how about we start getting it working then we can concern our self with that aspect.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] shadowline:
Everyone is posting why should they donate because,

1.) They do not know you, therefore trust is something earned through time.

2.) We all want this to work, but we are admittedly cheap sometimes unless convinced otherwise.

3.) They have never heard from - seen your friend.

4.) People tend to be a little too into conspiracy theories.

(No offense meant, I'm just pointing out the point of view from others.)

And I too have a friend from nigeria! Thats soo cool! Yea they sent me all kinds of money for nothing and my chicks for free! Now that lotto and job deal... those are scams!

Thread Is Too Bloated!

99 PAGES.. and i still have a crapy copy of android!?

OK LOOK... t-mobile has come out with the offical G1.. with a full working version of Android. So what is the hold up now? Can't someone dump it like they can dump windows mobile 6.1? cook it up in a pot and call it pasta!?!?

After reading the first 10 and the last 10 PAGES of posts of this thread I still can only get the original android working 10 out of 10 times with no lockups.. which has a dialer, contacts and the pull down thingy. oh yea.. screen calibration is a MUST! can't dial at all on that thing because i touch the bottom of the screen and it clicks "1" on the dialer.

there have been no NEW instructions, no detailed "how to's", nothing in the wiki.. xda-developers should blow this thread up and start a new one because this does not meet the standards for what a NEW OS THREAD should be like!

here is what i would love. a new zimage (at lease i think that's what i want). One that has the same stuff as the new t-mobile g1. some detailed instructions for someone who DOESNT know linux. a default.txt that has a comment for each line with a detailed description of what each line does with options and how we can change it (if it is required to change or keep, user names, passwords, providers? att vs tmobo etc.). a location for the latest haret. All this forum says is 5.1 is the latest but i found in one of the posts HERE!! that there is a 5.2 something?! it's like you guys have your heads someplace inappropraite.

*there might be preschoolers IT engineers and developers reading this so I like to keep it clean*

Take a look at the kaiser wiki and try to remember what this SHOULD look like. or take a look at any of the cheif's posts. their first post has screen shots, how to, what radio, rom, base, flag, memos, contacts, what car they drive, how fast it goes, what gas they use, what they had for lunch and how many beans they ate in the past month!!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] QuaQuaRaQuaQua:
I just love this forum...

...and my Android starts up....and freezes if i try to do anything that uses resources...

Nice goin' guys... Keep up the good work :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] biscuits1978:
With an OS that is based on an open source philosophy, who would want to pay someone to fix an open source OS? I understand the donation-thing, but donations usually come after an effective fix or build comes out after a lot of work. Heck - even with the chefs for the myriad of WM builds out there, they only get donations after putting out their work. Why should we work in reverse order for this? Shenanigans!

It really make me see this differently from this perspective. It wasn't that we didn't give the appreciation for your work, I'm sure. I just believe we were desperate for getting a working android for our beloved kaiser.

Be sure I really appreciate your hard work to get linux/android working in the Kaiser. I know it would sound worse if I would request your paypal now, but I believe i'd would be fair enough for the whole work you've done.
