please release a new version
[Touch GSM General] Dreamtheater2003:
wooohoooo

Nice project.. hope to have andriod fully working on our omap device..

"release the krakken!!!":D
[Touch GSM General] :
Since our Touch can't handle Android Eclair 2.1 , can you(devs) try to get Cupcake 1.5 fully functioning first?

Just my 2 cents... Any small updates are appreciated~
[Touch GSM General] wannadream:
Really good project! HTC wm users are grateful to all of you.
[Touch GSM General] killkenny:
Hi, I found the post for Cupcake, but they said that the "ROM IS ONLY FOR GSM HERO".

Maybe it damage our device? or it will run very slow?

If you have the link for elf/elfin I can try it.

thx
[Touch GSM General] Esnepy:
Thank you all guys for this project!!!

I hope a new fully working version is going to be released in a very near future!!

[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
I have been using the anroid posted on here for a few days, and it's great to have the 2 options. Thank you so much for all your hard work :) It works a lot better then I had expected, having used android on an omnia with strange results!
[Touch GSM General] ironjon:
Common guys, we are waiting for 0.5!!!!

[Touch GSM General] ironjon:
You have to turn off the WLAN in Windows Mobile before run Wing Linux app
[Touch GSM General] hung.Dustin:
i'm not connecting to WLAN when i run Wing Linux app..but it keep on show that message..do i need to flash back to original rom..im using Onyx 6.5..
[Touch GSM General] tonn.dejroj:

Pls Help!!!

[Touch GSM General] clemster:
Any update on when 0.5 is going to be released?
[Touch GSM General] Koki1337:
Damn this is great! Got it working on HTC Touch Elfin!

SIM card can be accessed without problems but then phone calls are impossible

Tested on Wing Linux 0.4.2 btw.

How's the battery life compared to WM anyway?
[Touch GSM General] peter1989212:
Is this prj still alive?
[Touch GSM General] clemster:
I can't wait to give it a go, but phone calls are pretty important to me :p

Here's to hoping that 0.5 will fix that!
[Touch GSM General] ironjon:
The battery life´s too short.

Energy saving not works.

Waiting for 0.5 :)
[Touch GSM General] Cero92:
Does anyone know when will 0.5 be released?

We've been waiting for months and months without a precise date :(
[Touch GSM General] darkstar62:
For those wondering, we're still alive, we've just slowed down a lot. All our primary developers have become really busy, so not much work is being done anymore (and being that there's so few primary developers, that means we're very slow indeed).

Unfortunately, I can't nail down a release date for 0.5, as it's waiting on things that right now I haven't been able to get enough time to work.

If anyone here would like to take up development, your efforts would be very much appreciated. Without more help from developers, I'm afraid things will remain slow for a while...

- d
[Touch GSM General] t0nil0:
thumbs up!

we will keep waitnig!:)
[Touch GSM General] andrei.nica:
sound at least..

i know that especially you have been working hard on this (i've read the dev threads).. so could you present us anytime soon with a sound patch as to at least be able to complete phone calls? this is, i think the main use of more than 90% of people visiting this page and it would be a great step towards using android as the main OS on our elfs/elfins. restecpa
[Touch GSM General] Touch-ee:
I have tried these steps exactly as they are written. But as soon as I run the script I see the lines of code go by and then the screen just turns white, sometimes with a stripe down the middle sometimes just all white. I have let it sit that way for 40 mins in case something was still running in the background but nothing ever happens. Then I have to pop the battery to get it to restart.

Also I deleted the all the files and tried again. Same thng... Can anyone help?
[Touch GSM General] tally114:
Try to update ISPL/USPL?
[Touch GSM General] tally114:
So actually this project has never finished... darn
[Touch GSM General] Esnepy:
So the project is still alive or not???
[Touch GSM General] srgudhka:
tried to make this work. but could not.

i've removed some posts not relevant to this thread. request all of u to behave and stay on topic, otherwise i might have to ban anyone creating trouble.
[Touch GSM General] Uloga:
Will there be an option to upgrade to 2.0 ,2.1 or 2.2? Or is this phone too slow
[Touch GSM General] t0nil0:
yes slow as balls...

it would be a victory to run the whole 1.5
[Touch GSM General] tally114:
wouldn't installing this ROM be a more stable version, only the camera/video mode doesn't work others work, tested.
[Touch GSM General] gp.triple:
audio,bluetoot and wifi work on our omap device?

do you test personally?

regards

gp
[Touch GSM General] Voice2000:
No. This for Vogue on Qualcomm not for omap.
[Touch GSM General] gp.triple:
oook tanks

gp
[Touch GSM General] tally114:
Dude don't say thinks you don't know: this is for the Omap version (HTC Elf(in) ). If you want the Vogue/Qualcomm version go to the forum section of Vogue. Next time READ! Instead of posting wrong things.

It's for OMAP not QUALCOMM
[Touch GSM General] gp.triple:
tanks man

did you try it? audio and wifi work?

regards
[Touch GSM General] kkrraazzyy:
@ tally

at least u can read the whole buddy its for vogue not for elfin

the super hero build and zen build was made for vodue not for elfin and before posting at least read the full
[Touch GSM General] tally114:
Yes but it works with the HTC Elfin as it has the same amount of memory like the HTC Vogue, HTC Elfin it's clocked slower, so if you don't run everything at once, it will work:rolleyes:
[Touch GSM General] arz_steal:
it wouldn't run.. since the processor has different architecture.. don't you get it?
[Touch GSM General] tally114:
Lol you don't get it little limp.
[Touch GSM General] darkstar62:
Guys,

That ROM will not work with our devices. Here's the reasons:

The ROM is for phones such as the HTC Vogue. These devices have a Qualcomm 400mhz processor. Our devices, in contrast, have a 200mHz OMAP850. The two processors are not the same, so the base kernel from that project wouldn't even boot.

Given that we have a working kernel from the Wing Linux project, we could conceivably copy the rest of the ROM over and use it as it is. Trouble with this though is that it makes some assumptions about services provided by the kernel, which are necessarily different on our devices than the Vogue.

The Android we use is modified to work with our kernel. We could do the same modification for the Vogue, but we'd need source, and time. This is essentially what the port to 2.x entails -- we can't just copy over the ROM and expect it to work. It may boot, but you'd find most of your hardware wouldn't work.

Does that make sense?

- d
[Touch GSM General] arz_steal:
it's hard to exlpain to you afterall :p, have you manage it work for yourself? how's the performance? great huh? lol
[Touch GSM General] !Aman!:
this is the last warning guys!
[Touch GSM General] tally114:
Thanks for coming up for me mate, thanks that you warned that guy and not me:D
[Touch GSM General] andrei.nica:
ok, believe it or not, the best thing that i found about android is how it handles the battery and i'm not talking about power management which is marvelously absent. i have some spare batteries for my elf which winmo just won't charge (it writes on them that they're for another compatible HTC model). android does :).

another thing: in winmo, if you're charging and pull out the battery the phone dies. in android it keeps going and you can change a full one with an empty one to charge without shutting the phone off :) that's nice

however, if you remove the sim, with both OS, the phone shuts down with or without restarting

anyway.. i'll really say a prayer and put a good word for you guys with the matrix architect if you manage to fix the sound support :)
[Touch GSM General] ov3r:
This project is DEAD!!!
[Touch GSM General] Ooeynor:
:(

--------

Signature
[Touch GSM General] ironjon:
Are you sure?? :confused:
[Touch GSM General] darkstar62:
We're not dead, I assure you. Here's what's happening:

Work on getting sound working is progressing. We've had lots of success, with at least two people attacking the problem from separate angles, both arriving at a nearly 100% working solution. They're working together to try and make things ready for us to put out. Hopefully that will be soon.

Besides that, LOTS of our time has been spent in getting all our work pushed upstream into the mainline Linux kernel. Having that done will allow us to be much more agile when it comes to responding to new versions of Android, because we won't need to worry practically at all about the kernel at that point.

Some effort has been spent in getting the 2.x versions of Android working, but that effort won't really kick into high gear until the kernel work is done.

So yeah, we haven't had a release in a while, but that doesn't mean we're dead. Getting this stuff into mainline Linux is hard, and time consuming (not to mention slow). It will pay off hugely in the end though, not only for running Android on the devices, but for running other distributions as well (Maemo, OpenMoko, Debian, ...)

So don't despair -- we're not dead! Though of course any developers that want to help out are more than welcome to get in on it. Grab the sources, start playing around, get something to work, and submit a patch! Although it may not be included immediately, I never forget a patch that's been submitted -- it will be included.

Cheers

[Touch GSM General] silompalace:
Thats good news. Thank you for the patient and detailed explanation which clearly reflects the sentiment that you "really care"

Wishing you good luck and fast results. Please do remember that we are waiting to benefit from all your toil.

btw i have an htc tattoo with donut and custom rom of ecalir and froyo...

ecalir works good but camera and radio doesnt work...

froyo the same as ecalir but is like an alfa and has many bugs...

from my experiencie reading another users and testing manny diferent roms, i think that froyo is lighter than donut or eclair...

cheers
[Touch GSM General] ALBERJ:
Hola, yo también tengo una HTC ELF a disposición de las pruebas que quieran a que la someta.

Me he comprado ahora una SAMSUNG OMNIA II, y la HTC esta a disposición de las pruebas que quieran.

Tengo ahora instalada la ultima versión de Wing Linux y estoy muy sorprendido con su buen trabajo. Me anima a ayudar en lo que pueda, mi conocimiento de Linux es básico, y me encanta instalar y probar cosas en linux.

Perdonar que les escriba en Español, mi Ingles es muy limitado.

SALUDOS Y GRACIAS
[Touch GSM General] kkrraazzyy:
THANKS DARKSTAR FOR UR REPLY M WAITING FOR UR NICE WORK

Thanks very much
[Touch GSM General] harshad_kp:
Wooow... u guys are awesome....

will really appreciate a test kernel link...
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Darkstar,

Thank you for all the time and effort put into porting Android to our devices :)

Is there any way at all that others can help with this? I'd love to try and help with this project.

(I have no previous knowledge of porting android, or developing for android - but I am wanting to learn!)
[Touch GSM General] psycoy:
darkstar62 for today I used the kernel 2.6.5-omap1 gc-0015-eng cupcake ...... and build on my elf. Once installed on a dashboard I andrioid Italian version, can also read the simcard and the operator, plus receive calls but I can not answer but just to busy start by saying that reading ............ sim before installing android you have to switch from commanager wi-fi is thanks to you all .........
[Touch GSM General] ironjon:
Great news!!

Thanks!!!
[Touch GSM General] raghie:
good to hear

Hi folks...

Sounds great.... lets believe that the "most awaiting" is going to happen. very much eager to see Wing Linux on ELFs

:)
[Touch GSM General] d_tam@yahoo.com:
this is awesome, my htc elf is alive again, never looked so good....winmo is such a piece of junk.
[Touch GSM General] Peter3:
Does anyone know how long it will take till the next version?
[Touch GSM General] gp.triple:
simply by when it's ready.... like debian :p
[Touch GSM General] Peter3:
But is there an estimate?

1 month,2 months or longer?
[Touch GSM General] gp.triple:
i don't know...

the project have few developers and progress is slow...

but we hope that darkstar can find all solution and will give us a new version when is ready

he do it for fun...remember

regards

gp
[Touch GSM General] Peter3:
Yes i know. But in this version, my mobile phone won't find a network. Only when i do it manually and then he keeps searching. He finds mobistar, but i can't go back to te home screen. So i am siked for the new version and i hope this problem is than solved.
[Touch GSM General] ironjon:
Have you tried to disable the pin code of sim card in WM before launch android??
[Touch GSM General] Peter3:
I tried this and it works. But the backlight won't turn off. So my battery drained.
[Touch GSM General] harshad_kp:
HTC Touch CDMA is already on android 2.2... so why dont we have a kernel for the gsm device yet...
[Touch GSM General] hovie:
You're wrong on the cabs to install:

-FIRST install rootfs.cab

-THEN herald.cab,

it's said in the tutorial on first post...

And it won't be in programs, for me, I installed it on storage card, and I now have a folder directly on storage card called "linux"
[Touch GSM General] hovie:
Sorry souble-post
[Touch GSM General] htcfreak:
Great work "jeremy"..!!!

The best compiled wing linux data until now..!!!

But don't you think its too early to open this tread, cause still the kernels haven't been written yet & we are also not able use audio yet..!!!

nice thread dude
[Touch GSM General] 10lele84:
I installed the handroid is perfect ... but I do not standby! How you can solve the problem? Thanks

thanks i got it working now you see theres no ROOTFS.cab he mentioned
[Touch GSM General] spadival:
Excellent thread.. I request everyone to read the first post (which is clear and concise) before asking questions.

If some one can translate and add to the first post, in languages other than English, I think it'll benefit quite a few non-English speaking users. As for my language skills, My Italian is worse than my German (which is non-existent) :p.. So I'll give it a miss.
[Touch GSM General] Cero92:
I could translate it in italian
[Touch GSM General] wy83238222:
After I Press run，The display of screen is messed.，looks like dazzling。。。

what's wrong？
[Touch GSM General] eL_Jee:
Excellent work guys!

Unfortunately I don't have time to check everything out, but will definitely check back in a couple months. I'm sure you guys can make a functional OS from this one.

Good luck developing
[Touch GSM General] iBrahimovich:

[Touch GSM General] thaksa:
If sound and wireless are work, these ll be very interesting.

Keep developing this dude. Nice Job!!!
[Touch GSM General] paulocar:
installs like a charm, runs very smooth, sounds will be nice to have, and wifi, until that works, it's just a nice UI to play around.
[Touch GSM General] spadival:
Great, PM Jeremy on whether he can append your translation to the first post of this thread.
[Touch GSM General] vasujahagirdar:

[Touch GSM General] jacobras:
Great work! Works fine on my Elf :)

Maybe something for the FAQ:

Btw: my screen is in portrait, not landscape.
[Touch GSM General] hovie:
Yes there's a rootfs.cab...Wing-linux.pre04.rootfs.cab or something..

Hi, I managed to do Start android rule but how does one operator APN settings?

And what are the keys correspondates?

Thank you for everything!

sorry for my bad english, I'm just a french :)
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
If you read darkstars post you will see they are working on a new kernel which should help response times when new releases of android are out.

You could always try and help with the code, or just say thank you for all the hard work they are putting in.

Again, Darkstar, thanks for your time with doing this, its great to play with android on our devices. (/me starts reading on the wing linux site to see how people can help!)
[Touch GSM General] ironjon:
Yes, that´s true.

We are many people who are waiting for the new version.

Expect them to be arranged with the new version.

Much encouragement for developers.
[Touch GSM General] psycoy:
Test Android 2.2: - extract the attached file and place it in SD ... you have a folder named andboot ... filexplorer touch with Haret CSMI and wait in line to follow later ... keep up the volume key to arive Installation Android .... here goes to block the device and I can not type 1 x step installation why? jeremy you to where you are .....

Hi All, I try it, I pressed the Volume Key up and the machine start to load....but than it's blocking!

Any news??

Many thanks for your good job!
[Touch GSM General] deepv84:
how to use it ??

it says system.img not found

thanks!
[Touch GSM General] killkenny:
i downloaded the file and then I used it putting in the previous folder where has been installed the previous android...I'm not sure but I have replaced some files....I don't know exactly! After I startup the application and my device stop to to the menu where I should press 1 to install adroid...is like if the device doesn't reconize the touch or the keypad. I can't start the installation process!!! ...somebody tried it?? thx
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Is this using the one from this thread posted a few posts ago, or is this from the wing linux site?

There are defaults set which are automagically used when there is no method of text input. It says this on one of the screens IIRC.
[Touch GSM General] killkenny:
Hi, I used the last working version: 0.4pre3. I replaced some files with those downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/?8etvnhrl6neevpl but the device stop to the menu!

Thx
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Are they the files to try and get Froyo working? I haven't downloaded them but may sacrifice a phone on my lunch if the files aren't too big (limited download on my mobile broadband :()

Does anybody know where that file oringinally came from? Was it taken from the vogue section and posted here? I can see no mention of it running on the WingLinux site.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
jus had a look at the files. mainly default.txt

they seem to be for the vogue.

I get this from:

vogue-ts.XMIN (touchscreen calib settings for vogue)

set RAMSIZE 0x07000000 (that works out to about 117 mb or something)

You could try putting in the files apart from Default.txt - that may allow it to work, but I don't know and haven't tried it.

Android ROM

hi

i want to install android ROM in my htc elf

please help me

can i?

tnx
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
You can't install an Android Rom on your elf. You can read the first post of this thread, download the files, and install as described, and run it from Haret which boots winmo out and replaces with Android - until you restart your device.
[Touch GSM General] killkenny:
follow the first page...you can find the instruction step by step!! there there is also the correct "default.txt"....consider that audio doesn't work! ...we still wait for new relase!! hope soon....thanks again for the good work done till now!
