Topic about haret on Jade with patched haret for MSM7225 (the same as our):confused:
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
hmm, same for me too. haret gives no errors but it reboots to winmo.

i guess we're f*cked at the moment.
[Touch2 ROM Development] asdasdas:
pff.. i guess we will never see android in our touch 2 :/
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
*cries*

i got this because it was damned cheap. cheaper than the tattoo.
[Touch2 ROM Development] asdasdas:
but maybe someone can port from htc touch.. maybe its only hope.
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
but the touch uses an omap processor. touch2 uses a qualcomm processor.

Android on Mega announced!!!

Member Fisher51112 posts he has made Android running on all WM devices incl. Mega. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=662289

Warning from the creator that it is a pre-Alfa version. No bugs reported. No link posted yet.
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
But...

Basically, its Qemu with liveandroid. That's it, really. So it's just like running liveandroid on a VM. No cellular, no bluetooth, no wifi etc.
[Touch2 ROM Development] wuzaitie211:
when

No cellular?canot it call a phone?
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
Mmm...

i'll try it out.
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
nope. because its an emualtion, not directly using the hardware. that's why haret is better.
[Touch2 ROM Development] fisher51112:
I know that haret is better, but it hasn'n have all features of android too. And I Don't try to emulate phone features of android-just interface and programms.
[Touch2 ROM Development] wuzaitie211:
who

who can port android to touch2 by heart.
[Touch2 ROM Development] wuzaitie211:
can you?

can you port android to touch2 by heart,haret is better,it can do a call,sent sms,and wifi,and so on.
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
If you really want Android, find a cook.

And keep in mind that porting Android isn't as easy as a few clicks here and there with some typing.
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
and he said he was gonna only emulate the features and interface etc. everybody can do that. and he doesn't do porting.

So as i said before, someone has to find a cook who is willing to help port android to the touch2.
[Touch2 ROM Development] wuzaitie211:
who

any news?my computer knowledge is bad,so I cant port android to touch2,any one is interest it?
[Touch2 ROM Development] wuzaitie211:
who?

Does anybody solve the problem with HARET.exe on Touch 2???

I'd really like to run Android on my device! but I can't
[Touch2 ROM Development] terminal 7:
hi

as with any new win-mob device there will be a long period of waiting before someone with the device and the interest and the skill sits down and reverse engineers it.

to anyone looking for a quick fix there wont be one, take a look at the HD2 the progress is slow but one day android or should i say linux will work.

i wish you all luck, whats needed is for the device to become popular, more devices more in the hands of devs who can acheive the goals.

may be someone wants to take on the chalenge?
[Touch2 ROM Development] raghul:
yeah someone with the device and knowledge of it must take interest in porting android.

hope someone starts it.... if ya need testers am ready for it :D
[Touch2 ROM Development] secosan:
me too :))
[Touch2 ROM Development] amigor:
Any news??
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
i really want android badly on my htc touch2.. if htc touch vogue/elfin can run android i guess htc touch2 can too.. if only some cook shows up.. =D

here ive made a request here on the vugue android forum http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=692428 please show the support from htc touch2 users..

thanks.. =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] secosan:
http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/01/htc-touch-b-is-an-android-powered-touch2/

This would make it easier to port. Any one else with news?
[Touch2 ROM Development] julian84:
it's not android device

the OS is Brew
[Touch2 ROM Development] secosan:
it looks pretty official

Now, I dont get...they ported the Android on to the Iphone, and did not manage to port it to a HTC device, what gives?
[Touch2 ROM Development] sliders7:
Yo guys, check this out...

those chinese fake phones create dual boots for the Android 2.0 and Winmo 6.5 (2 in 1) on ebay...

but who would buy it.. i guess there will no OS upgrades from those company.

No support website either...

and you guys will be stuck with those un-flashable phone for the rest of your life..

Hey, guys! Google just open-sourced the new 2.2 version of Android, which was called Froyo, to their partners who manufacture Android devices around the world... MAYBE IT WILL HELP to port it???? )))) I hope! )
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
anyone on it yet ??
[Touch2 ROM Development] rajan17_88:
i am too waiting!!!
[Touch2 ROM Development] Simon_WM:
why dont your try anther verions of android from device, eg: Kazier.

and then port it or modd the setting and heat.exe to run on the Mega ?
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
cant use any other device kernel wont match.. it shoudl be specifically build for mega..

i hope some Mega rom's chef tries this porting project except creating new windows mobile roms.. =\
[Touch2 ROM Development] duchu:
explain one thing for me, why u want port android for mega when on other (better) devices it run very slow and many functions are unavailable ? I think better way is create a theme that will be 99% the same like android look. What u think ? (sorry for my language :P )
[Touch2 ROM Development] secosan:
its not just about the look, we also want some functions of android

like friend stream, widget background.....and so on....
[Touch2 ROM Development] hfzarx:
hello, guys!! i was planning to buy the htc mega in a couple of days...so as it seems here the android was still not available for touch2... beside this, is it worth the price getting it,,...can you tell me about it's feature and hardware, performance, etc...i dont want to regret afterward(i'm going to spend all my hard earned money from part-time job on this) i think i has fell in love for the design...would this pda suite my usage as a student,..help me making up my mind,..,(btw, my current device is a blueangel)
[Touch2 ROM Development] duchu:
ah okey, but u really think it is possible to run Android on Mega smooth ? With all features ? Touch 2 is not powerful machine, and popular as other HTC devices like HD, HD2 etc. Maybe im wrong but i think we never see Android on Mega.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Chriss1983:
The tattoo has almost the same hardware and equipment that runs on Android. So is not the MEGA too slow ..
[Touch2 ROM Development] secosan:
its just a small difference, like the resolution of the display, from other devices that currently support android, so its just a matter of porting.
[Touch2 ROM Development] personalizer:
Don't buy the mega, i regretted buying it. Only looks nice, features very limited.
[Touch2 ROM Development] duchu:
and anyone involved in this now, or nobody wants to face with this ?
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
have you seen htc vogue running an android on youtube ?? its not slow at all.. and i guess touch2 is one of the most powerful QVGA device.. if vogue can run it that smooth.. touch2/mega will perform 5 times better.. and besides htc tattoo(android device) and touch2 are quiet same in the hardware base..
[Touch2 ROM Development] duchu:
Okey, if Touch2 is so cool, why did no one port it to Android till today ?
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
cause its a newer device than any other qvga devices.. which means less users.. and the demand for the phone atm is less too.. for example HD2 has a very good demand in the market now and the developers are trying hard to port android on that device.. i hope i made it clear to you..
[Touch2 ROM Development] qasim4u:
nothing is impossible

look at this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p70HU_Mq5F0&feature=player_embedded
[Touch2 ROM Development] duchu:
Everything is clear now, so we never get android on our devices :D am i right ;) ?
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
and how the hell would i know ?? =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] duchu:
maybe u know someone important who know this :P
[Touch2 ROM Development] lavs:
if some developer could help us create android for mega ... it will really be helpful and they can certainly get some help from us ... for testing etc ... i am in to help neone willling to start the project
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
i inboxed 3 chefs of touch2 rom developer of from this forum.. lets see what they reply.. =\ i hope at least one comes positive..
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Maybe premiere of the HTC Wildfire (Android 2.1, MSM7225, QVGA) could help us... The specs of Buzz are almost the same (only camera, accelerator and RAM is different).
[Touch2 ROM Development] lavs:
that looks positive .. we can start with the wildfire OS .. and build on that if possible .. but we definitely need the professionals to look into it ...
[Touch2 ROM Development] xarr:
HTC Mega (Touch2) and HTC Click (Tattoo) are similar, but nobody using soure code in htc dev try this. I lost hope and try myself do somethink.
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
i hope you succeed to come up with something.. =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
@xarr

Can I help U with smth? If you are interested please send a PM (in Polish).
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
i think an xda member called DZO started android porting project on an htc vogue.. you can ask some tips from him on how to get started for a touch2 device..

i have no skills on these im a graphic designer and a skinner.. =\

edit: this page might bring some help ?? http://www.androidonhtc.com/wiki/Installing_Android
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
guys guys im interested too. if you guys are doing a project count me in.. i can work on graphics, such as designs.... count me in.. PM ME
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
I've tried to boot android without success (1 time phone restarded by himself and second time freeze -> with script from kaiser). I've used last build of android for kaiser and patched haret for msm7225.

Edit: Now I have a rom from HTC Wildfire (from RUU installator) but I have no idea what to do with this.
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
try getting the rom out from the ruu installer. as far as i know there's an application that called osKitchen that can extract rom & oem but im not sure if its able to for HTC Wildfire... give it a short...
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
I've got it out from installer (this is a zip package rom.zip). But osKitchen is for WinMo and it can't edit .img files I guess.

EDIT: OK guys. I've already unpacked the rom from wildfire. Now I've got some directories like "app", "bin" etc. and I'm using Basic Kitchen for Android. Again I've got no idea what I should to do.
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
im not that much of an Android pro. But if someone could help us maybe we can get it to work =). I PM a senior member to help us out. im currently waiting for a reply. well dude dont stop working. continue with what u have.. ill find a way to help u out too.:p
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
did u check the link i posted on my previous post.. i think it requires something like haret application..
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Ok thx for help. We need to create new zImage etc. files from that ROM I guess. I've searched tutorials about doing this but no result (only smth about Linux cmds). Maybe that Senior Member can help us... I don't know...

@bornotty I have haret application already patched for MSM7225 but our phone do not work with this. I think the problem is in script for haret, but i'm not the programmer and linux pro, so...
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
okay atleast now we know. but i still believe that some part of Mega sys or oem has to be edit on the android image to have feature working like wifi, camera, sound, gsm network... only what i believe. still we need words from a senior who is an expert in porting. ** Thumbs Up ** hope this project works..
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
we need a kernel built for touch2.. this is a kernel development thread based on polaris device.. hope this gives some working idea.. xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=452108

the stickys on the vogue forum can be helpful too.. take a look.. xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=602
[Touch2 ROM Development] lavs:
plzz share the link for wildfire rom ... will try to extract it ...
[Touch2 ROM Development] lavs:
i read a bit of the thread(it is quite big to read fully ) and its like we will have to build the android kernel for touch 2 to make the rom transportable to our phones.... the applications and stuff can be easily imported into the phone but its the kernel that needs to be made and then the Haret thing has to be made for touch 2 ....

if some pro could suggest the wrk we could try our hjands ..
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
any reply from the senior member yet ??

try asking some more people.. even i have inboxed few..

btw.. i have found a new thread from where it all started.. xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=382265 someone please contact the creator of that thread DZO.. he is the most experienced in porting androids to windows mobile.. taking beginniners tips from him will be worth it..
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
this is a must see page.. scroll down.. www.htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page looks like a lot of work..

[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
OK, guys. You're sure in that we need to build special kernel. I've tried with kernel for eclair and... command console hangs after 3 lines (first unreadable) second: "Shutting down hardware" and third "Turning off MMU". On default kernel I've got self-restart. I'll try to get this working, but I'm only one noobish, polish student (but I've got 2 months of holidays :) ), so I need some help (I know only C++ a bit, so it can't be possible on editing the kernel).

P.S: bornotty you're signatures are very good, try to add some grunge effect on text like on android logo (I'm webdesigner ;) )

@lavs I've got a wildfire ROM extracted, but I'm waiting for senior member, 'cause I don't know haw to compile the kernel.

UPDATE: Wildfire kernel hangs HaRET application on booting ;(
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
okay about the signature.. i added little grunge effect on text and the edges..

anyway.. have u asked DZO for any tips yet ?? he was the first to port android to windows device..
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
No, I didn't ask him, but my friend, which is the linux pro told me that, we'll do smth about that today evening. * Thumbs up *
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
ok theres a hope there.. btw.. did u take look at this or show him this page QuickDeveloperStartGuide it might give him the concept of what to do..
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
No, I didn't see that, but it gives me 404. I don't why this don't work...

UPDATE: My DNS is wierd, I've changed to google free DNS and everything works ; )
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
i dont know why is it showing error to your country.. but a person who understands linux can definitely start from that page.. it explains from basic in steps.. try again to the main page and see if it works.. http://www.htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[Touch2 ROM Development] Endr:
android on mega makes me happy oleee

Thumbs up!!
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
okay guys ive got a reply from dz0, he said:

well looking at this... theres a really big chance for android to run on touch2 =D dz0 says that touch2 spec will be quite well to run android. soo hehe no more worrying about what people have to say about our touch2.. well now we need is a kernel developer.. =D
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Ok that's very positive message... I'll tell about that my friend. Maybe our work gives us Android running HTC Mega... So cya today evening (CEST :D ).
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
that is a wonderful news.. =D
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
yuuppp a very good news... now all we need is a kernel developer in order to start working
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
this is a QuickDeveloperStartGuide on how to build a Kernel.. step by step guides are given.. i have zero knowledge in linux.. =(
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
talking about linux knowledge lol im not that good either lol. we just have to wait now... im waiting for dz0 to give some feedbacks =D
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
okay.. hope some more good news drop by soon.. hehe..
[Touch2 ROM Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
good stuff, gona look into this!
[Touch2 ROM Development] lavs:
hmmm i too will look into this .... i hv sum wat idea but hv never done such a stuff soo ...
[Touch2 ROM Development] ZeGuido:
Hy guys,

I've been looking at this threat for a while as I may get a Touch2 in the next few mounths. Right now I use a Polaris100 with Android (thank's to DZO's great job and coll Nym's warm Donut ;) ). So I'd just say to any Kernel Dev' that would jump in that I would gladly make a donation when something comes out, even if I don't have a Touch2 yet...

Keep on going guys.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Guys... We really need a kernel developer... I can't do this, cause I don't have a config for compiling a kernel... Maybe someone of chiefs could help us. Please send PM's to them.
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
ive already sent PM's to 3 chefs from this forum, 3 days back.. one chef replied saying he's unable to do it and no reply from the other 2 yet..

btw.. did your friend bring any help ??
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
the first post of this thread should be updated too with the current progress of this project.. new visitor must know what we require and where we are stuck on.. ill PM the creator of this thread or ask the mod to make a new person to handle the first post..
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
My friend said that he knows linux very well, but android is something different and he don't know how to apply kernel to our phone... IDK too, so it must be quite hard...
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
ok..

I have sent a PM to few more developers of android port to HTC devices.. lets see what they reply..
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
well im hoping we got good news =DD.. this is so exciting...
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Guys... I've made a wiki to our project. Enjoy CLICK and help to write articles.
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
i dont think a wiki for this project will come to any use now.. =P we hardly have any coders or developer who is strictly working on this.. i haven't received any replies from my last PM either.. i think DZO is a really nice person to reply to the earlier PM.. haha..

if no reply comes by tomorrow.. theres only one thing we can do.. that is create a bounty for this project.. at least a $300.. what do u think ?? but the sad thing is i dont have a paypal neither a creditcard.. =(

all touch2 users can at least collect to $300 if all try.. i think this will be our last option..

or a touch2 device cost $300 on amazon if all can donate till $300 we can send one device to DZO maybe.. it depends on how badly the touch2 users want android on their device.. we also need a new thread for this.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
But I don't think that all users from that forum can donate it. I don't know... xarr in previous replies said that he starts to do it by himself, but he didn't reply me in PM. So... Maybe you can send a PM to him...
[Touch2 ROM Development] duchu:
it`s not stupid idea. I think i can give some cash for this project. If we all donate this we will have an Android on our Touch2 :) If donate will be $5, we only need 60 people to make this true :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
at least a donation of 300$ will show up right ??

last day i have sent PMs more than 10 developers who is working on similar android port project for similar kernel devices.. no replies.. DZO was the only person to reply earlier.. and he helped in all the other device ports.. so trusting him and giving a device to him would be a nice idea..

here are few bounty projects which worked out:

[ROM/BOUNTY] Rhodium Android Port [$1360/$3290]

BOUNTY) for first flashable android rom!

[PORTED!][BOUNTY TO BE FULLFULLED]Tachi PhoneCanvas
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
exactly.. we can create a separate bounty thread DZO live in New Zew Zealand.. a Touch2 on Ebay.NZ costs around $280

we must speak to DZO first and donate to his account directly..
[Touch2 ROM Development] vesipyks:
Hey all!

I'm up to donate 10$ for this project.

It would be cool the try out Android on my Mega. :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] raghul:
hey, if this thing starts to take a swing am in.... :D i'll be able to donate arnd 10$-15$ :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
thanks for your interests with the donation.. =)

ok, so if users are stepping forward to this.. we must not waste much time and talk to DZO about this deal.. if he agrees (i hope he does) then our first step is to create a new bounty/donation collection thread.. after meeting our target money all users who'll enlist their name for donation should donate the money with stating the cause directly to DZO's account..

what do u think about this idea guys ? but of course we haven't got the approval of this idea from DZO..

if DZO doesn't agree we can still create the same donation thread and offer a Touch2 device to who ever is interested to do this work.
[Touch2 ROM Development] htcshane19:
im from the uk, i have 12months left of my contract, so im going to wait (very patiently) then get an upgrade, defo will be a HTC with android os. im tempted right now to buy one off ebay and sell my htc touch 2, but if somebody can port android i would donate, android would make this phone 10 times better if it runs good.

i pledge £5 donation for android :p
[Touch2 ROM Development] gr@ni:
Good idea!!! If project will go on i will donate 15$
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
thank you for your support and interest guys.. =) android would indeed make our touch2 10 times better.. ; )

its almost midnight here, ill mail DZO tomorrow and see what he replies..

edit: Okay couldn't wait for tomorrow.. sent the PM to DZO about the donation of a device already. Hope he replies positive *heads up* =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
Well guys the good news is; you guys are working so hard and putting alot of efforts for your htc touch2's hehe. Well on my side, im been trying to really really understand the work of android on website. The thing is its damn hard to understand lol as im a windows user. But the good news is 7XXXA kernel thingy does support on some old devices if im not wrong its from what i read.... and i looked up on htc-linux or something about running apps on android on QVGA devices... errr it consist of some codes that i dont understand but the fact is IT STATE QVGA.

lol, i know i know it only says running android apps on QVGA Resolution but still its a qvga stated there. I'm still not giving up in this.

if you guys can put so much effort why cant i =) we may be developers someday because of this Touch2 **Cheers**... [Still Hoping This Project Works]

Will donate upon Project Start Up & After I Got My Next Pay ^^.

Awesome work guys, u have my support.
