I agree.... there was another thread made just for the purpose of everyone else to talk and ask questions, but no one has used that thread in weeks. This thread clearly states for developer discussion only. It gets very irritating for us that subscribe to this thread to get an e-mail every couple hours about someone asking a question that was just answered the day before.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pkchips:
well obviously that must get irritating, but this thread which you speak of, I've never even seen or heard of it. However, I really doubt any developers even look at it, so I doubt any real responses would be had from posting there.

The post made earlier by tids told EVERYONE that isn't a developer to go away. Whilst it might be annoying that the same question gets asked repeatedly, isn't it reasonable for the question to be asked at least once? We all want to know how things are going.

I was hoping OP would have edited it into the first post with a "all questions asking when it's going to be done go here" sorta spiel (imo I thought actually asking for it would be cheeky of me) and for developers to dip in and go "got this that and the other working" or whatever, thus acting like a filter for all the questions but it kinda just faded into obscurity instead

oh well v:(v

people are going to come in here and without a sorta "this is what's going on" are just see people doing coding stuff and are going to ask what's happening or what's ready and people posting messages in different colours telling people to piss off if they can't code aren't going to stop them which is why I've edited my first post in my topic with an FAQ of sorts to try and help out a bit.

tids2k is talking about non developers to stop spamming in here. Reading is still allowed. And usually you don't need to ask your question even once, people just need to read last couple of pages

xda should put some kind of developer test for users before allowing them to post in some threads. :D

all the previous replies to my post fail to get the point, ie. that tids was just unnecessarily rude.

I guess xda developers might be talented at porting linux, but not particularly friendly or socially inclined.

Progress

I was just wondering, what the progress is like at the moment, in regards to porting android on to the HD2? Is anybody able to summarise? Is there even and SPl yet? and what about the new (HTC) Nexus One, i believe it has the same hardware as the HD2 including the WVGA screen, which should make an android port a breeze once someone has made an SPL? I know it seems lazy but i just dont have time to decipher the previous 10 pages of this thread.

there's not even an sspl out right now, eventhough i read somewhere that it's in the testphase right now. but i think it shouldn't be that hard to port android, since acer liquid has the same specs and is already released.

Dropping by from the Raphel board

I am a Raphael (TouchPro) owner for over 1 year, having bought it since it has the identical physical spec as the HTC Dream. Thinking the same thing many people are saying on this thread, "Linux on my device would be perfect".

The current status for Android on Raph after more than 1 year of dev work is: (from thread in Raph ROM forum)

GMS - Yes

CDMA - No

WiFi - YES!!!!

Blue-tooth- Yes - But calls are not possible, anyone made this test?

Calls - Yes / No (some guys ok other no)

SMS - Yes / No (the same here, with some is working ok others not)

MMS - ?

GPRS - Y

GPS - N

Camera - N

Touch screen - Y

Keyboard- Y

Charging - If before reboot you're charging

Battery - Huge drain

Market - Y

Screen calibration - N

Headphones - N

Accelerometer - N

Directional keypad - Y

USB data transfer - N

I have been flashing custom ROMs on my Raph many times yet I still haven't dare to try the Android yet. I am still waiting for the day when I can choose between 2 different OS for my phone.

I am proud to say that there are many dedicated dev on Leo as well as Raph. :) I am still hopeful because there are many good ppl for this cause, please treat them with respect and encouragement. They get satisfaction and donations (<b> NOT </b> salaries) for committing to this project.

To all who wants to flash Android on your HD2 now:

logout of this froum and check back in a few months. The dev will let it be known when it is done. No need to harass them repeatedly since you are distracting them from their work.

To all devs on this project:

Best of luck and good coding/hacking. :-D I enjoy and appreciate your work and dedication on this matter.

PS: plz share your findings with devs of other machine.

PPS: Raphael/Rhodium rocks! I will take my hw keyboard over any virtual one any day of the week!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sam.1017:
Thanks for the info radu_b, judging by the progress that devs have made on porting android to the Raphael, it may not be long before we see android on the leo. Looking closely at the specs of the the dream and the Raphael there is more differences between them than there is between the bravo or say the Acer liquid. And once again thanks to the Devs :-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Xzeven:
I.t's great to see Android slowly make its way onto our leo, though the thread is a bit all over the place at the moment, especially for anyone new to porting Android or at least thinking or running it with Haret etc.

Perhaps it might help if we could put HowTos and updates on the androidonhtc.com site? I've opened an index there to start us off. Hopefully we can see more info there :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] twister_65:
so my Leo ist orderd and will arrived in 2-3 days :)

@radu_b

but when i looked at the thread for android on the HTC Touch HD (Blackstone), most feature are working

with the Blackstone.

So why schould it not worked on the HD2? I mean with the HTC Bravo (when it comes next year) and the Acer Liquid (available)

there are 2 phones with the same snapdragon platform.

So i hope, Android 2.x will avaible for the Leo in few weeks.

WinMo 6.5 is good, HTC Sense is greate, but the Leo with Android should be the best combination on the market.

A huge 4.3" Display and a 1GHz CPU with the best(?!) mobile system :eek: ;)

i know, it could happen that Android will never comes to the Leo, but i hope it will arrived in a few weeks :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] immyl:
bring the android!

please please please make this happen!

I have had this phone for a couple of days and my only annoyance is with WM (WoeMagnet as i call it)

The phone is so brilliant and i realised that i was running something like 8 applications without ever realising it: you can throw anything at this phone and it can handle it really really well!

And i agree, android on this baby, i am waiting like a vulture as soon as its possible i will remove winmo that is doing my head in:mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Svenvdmeer:
This reminds me of when i bought my Touch HD. People saying that it would be the perfect phone with android and it would be possible because phone X has the same hardware bladiebla. And about a year later they kinda got it working. But it is still far away from perfect.

I'm not saying I don't like this project, I would love to play around with android on my Leo. But for the people who say WM suck and they love android, I guess you bought the wrong phone. Don't think this will be done in a couple of weeks.

Ow and as far as i know REMOVING windows mobile is not going to be very likely. Usually they run Android on top of Windows Mobile.

Or I might be totally wrong.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] brooon:
oops...does this mean, that it was never meant that i can hope that there comes a time where we perhaps could use android instead of winmobile (pure android or dualbootsystem, whatever)?

The biggest problem for me is that i don´t really have an overview (grounded on my lack of konwledge about programming) what it exactly means to a developer to port android on an WM phone.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MaxReality:
After playing with my dads new HTC Hero, I was overwhelmed with the infinite list of free quality apps on the Market. As the HTC skin is fairly similar to the HTC, I now can't wait till a fully functioning port is available. Phones are suppose to be fun. If iphone and android can get hundreds of free apps. How come microsoft can only give u a handful of pointless free apps, then charge like £20 for a half decent app, which your just not going to pay. After being a winmo user since the original SPV, I can't wait to jump ship... forever hopefully. :)

You can HOPE what you want.

If I can I'll make the day even if a feature that for you is the first thing you'll see and for me it's useless.

for the love of android.

I have had so many htc phones,

the HD2 is the best ever - i adore it, that said i also have a g1 rooted and with a huge rom collection so i am a total android nut !

i so so so cant wait to see the first working android port here ( ill donate as soon as there is )

its good to see the progress on the mk1 HD - if we could get that kind of progress here i would jump for joy,

i still love thr HD2 as it stands with win-mob but thats largely due to HTC covering windows entirely with their sense UI.. ( good result htc )

Haret actually don 't support HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] NetRipper:
Android is NOT emulated on the device. It shuts down Windows Mobile and boots a Linux kernel on the device. This is no emulation. It's the real thing. It's just all done in-memory. So if you reset the device, you're back in Windows Mobile. That just makes it look like it's emulated, but it really isn't.

Actually, latest git version does support Leo. You can check out my version on http://www.netripper.com/leo/ . This doesn't mean that the above will work though. As it's not emulated, we need real support for the actual hardware in the linux kernel. And that's a lengthy process.

Resolutions are all 800x480 (WVGA) in HD2, Bravo, TP2 and D2. And even if they weren't the same, that's not a problem whatsoever. Android is flexible when it comes to resolutions.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tids2k:
not at all. you can start it from storage card. but before that we had to bring android to leo, and as at tge development stages we should discuss only indepth discussion.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kael:
The main display issue is not the resolution but more the size of the screen.

On the Touch HD (3.8" sceen) the developers had to tweak android as there were no phone with that screen size. Before that tweak, the screen would not display properly and would have a glitch per pixel line, making us unable to decifer what was on the screen.

Then they were all resistive screens, dunno if a capacitive is different.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tanmay®:
Nope. A screen size doesn't really matter at all. WVGA Support came since Android 1.6 Build. Before that WVGA Support had to be manually tweaked.

The issue now remains the Snapdragon compatibility. Afaik a more faster progress would take place once the Snapdragon powered HTC Bravo or Google's Nexus One are in the hands of our Devs. Lets hope that happens soon.
