i would donate too, i admire all the work going on here and would love to have android on my tp2, wish I could help but this is far beyond my capabilities, come on guys lets all pool together and sort out a fund for a device for the chefs for this be be perfected on, there is plenty of people with willing donations and its apparent theres people with the know-how to get this going in time!

who can arrange this?

Just tried MyMobiler and as soon as the text-screen Linux boot-up screen showed up, MyMoblier on my PC froze. So I don't think that's an option.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
That you are correct sir. Especially since MyMobiler is an application that runs inside Windows Mobile. And to add insult to injury, WinCE apps do not run on Linux.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
It would have no reason to work, since HaRET essentially "kicks" Windows Mobile out of the internal RAM and loads its own specified code, rather than the common misconception that Windows Mobile simply runs along side of it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
I understand this. I just did it for ****s and giggles, and then posted the results.

I just want to say thank you to eveyone helping in the quest for android on the TP2. I know there are a LOT of us very interested and watching the forum almost daily. I'm sure I speak for a large group when I say that your efforts are greatly appreciated!

I am one of those that keeps on checking with the progress that is happening here. We appreciate all your efforts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gsmtmofan:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] chasy:
is there anything a normal user could help with?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nozknows:
Hope this works... Soon (even if it's just a screen booting)

I decided to do a guide to run android on the samsung Epix (i know). Unfortunately the charger/usb port died and I am forced to get a new phone tomorrow. I am looking at the Att tilt II, which SEEMS to be the same or very similar to this phone. If they get this at least somewhat wokring in the the next three weeks I will be very happy because I can use this for my paper. I have to take crappy instructions and make a guide (with pics) and a youtube video. Do you think any version ported to the touch pro II will work on the tilt II?? Thanks for your advice.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
It is the same phone as you assumed. As for it being ready in the next 3 weeks, that is unknown. The kernel is getting further in the boot process, but some drivers still need to be done. So, I really doubt it will happen by the time you need to finish your paper.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] joshkoss:

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] トロワ:
i just hope that it will suport the CDMA version of the TP2, linux on my phone would be nice. esp with the data plan working and all. any ideas if GV uses VOIP or not? i am sure japanese and english multi language is alot nicer on android then windows moblie(or should i say how its not defaulty on windows mobile)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Yeah it should get finished on a similar time schedule. They are working to get it booting on all the Rhodiums at the same time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] nozknows:
I could just write a paper about getting haret to run a custom boot loader on the htc tilt 2 (getting in a few hours.... hopefully), and that alone has enough information for me to write up a written instruction set (for the average joe), and a you tube video with more details and less down-talking for the more technical people, at least that is what she wants. And BTW this is an English paper.

I just thought since everyone wants this it's no longer a poll but a active project so I created a [project] thread:) hope no one minds, just trying to help out the community;)

Thread link: ANDROID PROJECT
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] EGOvoruhk:
Why start another thread? cr2 is already posting updates in this one. It's pointless for another thread, unless it's opened by an actual developer who can update the original post with new info like every other project thread
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] reekotubbs:
If they do get android ported over for the tp2, would that mean that winmo would be completely replaced or partitioned?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Neither. Android lives on your MicroSD, and to boot into it, you'd have to load WM, and run an executable (called HaRET.exe) from your MicroSD which loads Android and "kicks" Windows Mobile out of RAM. Android doesn't touch the internal NAND memory, so Windows Mobile doesn't lose any data, and boots up just like normal when you restart your device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] reekotubbs:
Thank you for the info.

Since this is the case will android application work, like google maps navigation?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] emeacham:
Very excited to see this new project take shape. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] J-Hop2o6:
i can't wait for this to work on the tmousa TP2.. will Android work fully?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Yes, Android once the developers get a bootable image which is more or less stable, it should be just like Android on other devices (though it may not run quite as smooth, have small graphical errors, etc.). However, the devs will still have to add support for various hardware such as the camera, GPS, GPU, bluetooth, cellular antenna, etc. before they can be used by applicatons.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dangerously:
No one can see the future of the project. The goal for any programmer is to make it fully work. This is currently a work in progress and nothing more can be said at this time.

I so want this to work, trying all day to run it :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] farnold:
This is a funny discussion. I want a working phone I use every day and rely on. Seems like most of you guys are keen to see if something could work while you accept that you probably even lose a fair bit of its anyway poor functionality. Sorry, I'm just a user, not a test driver :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyw00d:
Maybe it would be better to put on some files so people could start trying. Can someone make a post with some links/attachments with files we need to try and a little documentation. Like I maid a youtube video of me showing the white screen when I run the haret.exe file. I could also make a video to show how to test things (If someone tells me what to try). This way we can involve more people in trying to make this work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] EGOvoruhk:
This is a development forum, hence XDA Developers. Test driving is a HUGE aspect of development
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyw00d:
There are many people who do want to test drive for this. Even me :)

My first post. Would love to work on this project.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] EGOvoruhk:
Do you have Android/Linux/Coding experience, or do you just mean test the project out? Because if you do, you might want to get ahold of cr2 and see if you can be of some assistance, as he doesn't have a Rhodium
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] er00si:
I've had a little bit knowledge in general. Just build an Android 2.0 image on my CentOS 5 two days ago. It took me around 3 days to set things right. So, I am not super fast. I am trying HaRET 0.52 now. Have not generated much exciting results yet. Mainly, I have not yet spent time on 7200A/7600 data sheet. I guess that HaRET may need to be tweaked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Did you even get the kernel to boot far enough to start Android?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyw00d:
Someone still working on this project? Cause I've sold my HTC TP2 and im going to buy a real android device (HTC Hero). I do gonna miss this device though, but I know android is better then WM (In my opinion). I will keep track to this project :)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Cyw00d:
They are trying to make Android boot on this device. The boot proces works for 70% i guess
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Anon9mouz:
it hasnt been released for testing at all?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 76BluRay:
This would make my decision of droid vs. touch pro2 alot easier. I love the build of the htc but I like the operating system (and voice + nav apps) on the droid. This would be perfect.

To the person working on this...

Would the voice and Nav apps be available?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] EGOvoruhk:
It has, but it doesn't fully boot, as Cyw00d said. No point in using it, as you just get a WSOD (White screen of death)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] aven_soulgazer:
I don't know what kind of setup you are using to try running Android on the TP2, but on the vogue, the wsod is usually from the wrong panel type being set in the default.txt

I'm looking into this project as I'm looking to upgrade and don't like either of the native android options on Sprint
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] EGOvoruhk:
http://android.ppckitchen.org/

I believe they are cr2's builds
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] VETTEPC123:
any idea when

so does anyone know how realistic it is that this port will work 100% on the touch pro 2 without any problems. If so is there any idea of time frame, 1 month or 6 months. Just wondering if this might happen before ATT releases their version of an android phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Star-Lite:
Im adraid it might never run 100%, but looking at the other "sucessfull" ports, I'm sure we will eventually see a version for the TP2 that will work for 90-99% within the next year.

Stuff like the BT chipset might cause some problems (The TP2 is using a different chip/driver stack as other devices that are ported so far)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] riotburn:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/htc-hero-caught-running-android-2-1/

maybe this will make it possible to port android 2.0. I dont understand why it is so difficult to port considering the hardware is practically identical. Im not trying insult the people working on it, I really just don't no why.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
I believe it was pointed out that the hardware may appear to be the same, but may contain slight differences that fly under the radar. And these small differences may be a totally different world for code developers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] tbird83ii:
Too true. But isn't that how all programming ends up being? Ten days of programming, thirty days of debugging the little things out of it. Also, buiscuits what have you found the hardest to program so far?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Habib Molaska:
Ok here's what I did. I went to:

http://android.ppckitchen.org/

..and downloaded 'em all files to a root-folder named "Android" on my memory card (I have a Touch Pro2).

Than I ran the haret.exe file on my phone through WM's file explorer. I pressed the button "run" in the application GUI and was notified that it couldn't find "default.txt". So I closed the application and ran rhod100-20091109-2.exe instead. Clicked "ok" on the installation request and then I saw like a huge dos window with black background and a lot of white small unreadable text. And then a white screen which never went away.

What am I doing wrong?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] EGOvoruhk:
Nothing. Have you not been reading the replies?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
You're doing nothing wrong, that's what it does for everyone. You see, Android is not in a usable state right now, and that was a test image which won't boot fully. The only developer working on this, cr2, doesn't actually have a Rhodium, yet he needs to add hardware support before it will even boot. However, since cr2 doesn't have this device, he uploaded those images so that people with Rhodiums could run it and obtain information that cr2 could use to add necessary support for vital hardware, so it does things like boot properly. However, cr2 has already obtained the necessary information for the time being, so those Android images aren't useful for the average user (AKA non developers)

It'll probably be a while before cr2, or any other dev for that matter, gets Android fully booting with a GUI and everything. I remember it took years porting for the Kaiser, and there were, at times, multiple developers who all had a device to work with.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Habib Molaska:
Oh awesum. Thanx for a quick reply. I have read the entire thread but the case is that I would like to remember having seen a video on youtube where one had successfully managed to run an android port, but I guess it wasn't on the TP2 then. Anyways, I also sent mr CR2 an e-mail telling him I'll put some money in his pocket when he get this thing done. If I only knew how-to I'd do that right away.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] amelsen:
Hey.. how about we actually ask CR2 if he's 100% sure he can make it run if he had the phone.

If the answer to that is 'yes', then how about we set up a donation thingie or he provides us with his paypal info, and then we can all donate to the cause.

I wouldn't mind donating 20-30 bucks or something if I was 100% sure it meant that I could get android on my phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] spacemonkey333:
+1 on that!...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Star-Lite:
Thats not going to run android.

As they noted in the story, it does not have the required android buttons. This is highly probably the HTC dumbphone they have announced to release.

It does have the same formfactor as the ViVa (not hw keyboard, 'small' screen etc).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] EGOvoruhk:
It says nothing of the sort. Perhaps you should re-read the story

"A closer look at the button layout shows a decided lack of keys required by WinMo 6.5..."

Edit: DOH! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Star-Lite:
From the article:

;) ;) ;)

But it is confirmed that this phone won;t run android, but 'Brew' HTC's dumbphone O/S [source (dutch)]

So no shared hardware with the TP2 ánd no android on this one. It's not going to help us with our search to android on the TP2 :(

money for the cause

Yeah, I'm new here, but I'd be in on that too. I really like the idea of Windows Mobile, but the reality is that it crashes a lot; and Android has WAY cooler apps (and way more for free). A dual boot would be ideal (have the best of both worlds), but just a straight up Android OS on my Sprint TP2 would be great! I'd be willing to help this cause.

then no offense why do you own one for, if you do?? you guys wanna talk so much **** about WM but at the end of the day its still the best to do a lot of stuff that other platforms cant/dont do!!! and the way WM can be customized is awesome!! Remeber this, No OS is perfect... each and every last one has it flaws and pros/cons so if you dont like WM and like Android then guess what??? Why dont you go buy an Android phone instead of hoping we can port it over to WM!!! So then what, when the port doesn't work perfectly you can ***** and moan about that to??? :confused:

I'm just puzzled and I'm sorry but this just had to be said!! I'm sure many can/will agree with me... and this wasn't meant to come across as bad ass but just being real and truthful :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] gehzumteufel:
Really, the thing cr2 could do better with, is a device. This is the biggest thing holding him back. He could get so much more done if he had one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] alohajeff:
I purchased a Samsung Moment. I had it for less than one week and during that time I spent hours upon hours trying to make it work for me the same way a basic install of WM 6.1 did on my Mogul. I found the Android marketplace to be a gimmick. Searching four different Android specific sites allowed me to get the phone "close" to where I needed it to be but close wasn't good enough. Android and the Moment were terrible as a work device but great as a toy. I unfortunately have no use for a toy phone. My primary requirement in a device is to keep me connected with customers and vendors. That includes reviewing quotes, purchase orders, and making changes along the way. I am sure that in the near future Android will catch up to WM in the ability to perform as a business device. When that time comes I will consider a device running Android but until that happens I see absolutely no reason to run Android on the TP2. You would be better off selling the TP2 and purchasing a phone designed from the get go to run Android. I loved quite a few things about the Moment but hated its inability to do simple work related tasks, all of which were caused by limitations in the OS it runs.

I think the TP2 is a business class device first and foremost. The people wanting to turn the TP2 into something that HTC never really intended it for should probably re-evaluate their mobile phone needs and make life simple... change devices to one designed and optimized to run Android.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Yep, that's pretty much why I played with Android on my Kaiser, and why I'm hoping it'll get ported for the Rhodium.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Kahlua7680:
I completely understand. I really like the specs of the phone, but I've had the phone for a few weeks and WinMo is getting old fast. I've even tried adding cooked ROMs, but I am just not feeling it. At least with Android you have some options. I am all for getting Android on this phone. Otherwise its going on the sell shelf.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] biscuits1978:
WinMo is getting old fast?? Why the hell did you get this phone knowing it has Windows Mobile on it? Have you ever had a phone/PDA with Windows Mobile on it? Did you do any research?

For all users that are 'sick' of Windows Mobile and want Android on their TP2 (except those who are required to have WinMo), why bother with a TP2 then? Why not just get an Android device? Chances are you probably could have spent LESS money on one!

Windows Mobile works for me. I like the interface, especially with Sense on top of it. I don't stick with ROMs that are unstable and slow on my phone for what I use it for. I, too, am one of those users that would like Android just to play with it. I am NOT one of those users that give WinMo the cold shoulder as I wait for the developers to create a working Android image for the TP2. I got the TP2 knowing what I bought and NOT expecting anything else.

If Android comes along and is functional, then GREAT! Otherwise, I'm not *****ing.
