Welcome to the XDA Community! We are hoping to compile something soon and will need testers :) also I need an HTC Mega if anyone is selling pm me

If you have any questions pm me

XDA HTC Droid Eris / Vogue / Mega Forum Moderator
[Touch2 ROM Development] OtiX2:
!

Thank you, really appreciate! But I was wondering how do you make android work on other devices? Does it work a bit like Unix systems (Packages, etc)? Perhaps you could PM me? I'd really like to know how it works at least a little :D

For the phone try to buy it on the internet. I bought mine in Czech Rep. (already used) for 5290,- kč DPH which is approximately $277 USD. I'm sure you can buy it for less on eBay or Priceminister, etc
[Touch2 ROM Development] zvoner5:
I can probably get a used one from Romania for a bit over 200$.

Or I could give you the site that I'm talking about with the difference being that it's in romanian and I don't think they ship to other countries.
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
Yeah, I'm quite confident that you can find a used (or even a new) Touch 2 for about $200. I got mine for 150 and it was new...

Captainkrtek

I just read your pm- sorry for the delay. I get lots recently.

I sure can take a look at this tomorrow in CET evening. Linux/Android on this device is very possible.

Can you some up the findings you have so far?

cheers
[Touch2 ROM Development] Captainkrtek:
Well me, Quier, and Punk.Kaos (Android Dev) are working on getting a kernel running. its still in the VERY VERY early stages. Haret runs fine its just we have boot issues and are trying to edit the kernel to have it vibrate the phone on boot, just to see if the kernel can interact with the hardware.

Quier is in Poland and me and Kaos are in the Pacific Northwest in the US (Me: Seattle WA, Kaos: Portland OR) so we try to meet at about 9AM PST which would work for all of us. we meet up on irc.andirc.net #droideris I also made a room on our irc for the touch2 (#touch2). feel free to join us, input is welcome :)

Stuck at MMU off

Guys,

I am using these file http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/. Replaced haret with patch one and my default.txt has these following settings

set ramsize 0x07000000

set ramaddr 0x10000000

set mtype 1553

set KERNEL zImage

set initrd initrd.gz

set set cmdline "board-htckaiser.panel_type=0 ppp.nostart=0 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 no_console_suspend board-kaiser-keypad.atttilt=0"

boot

These settings got my phone in black screen with command line but it restart at MMU off.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
We know about MMU problem, but we didn't solve it yet... Maybe today evening session will be more effective.
[Touch2 ROM Development] lexarrow:
I found here:

hxxp://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/haret-devel/2010-February/000005.html

that mtype for MSM7225 is 2293. I'm not sure though, as I never managed to make it work neither with mtype 1553 or 2293
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
Hi, my too.

Just send the files to test.

Я непонимаю что вы тестите и на что сдаёте $ :):confused:!!! Android & LinuxS работать небудут пока нет поддержки haret. Вы используете haret который компилил видимо один студент, подставив модель процессора в ряд с 7200а, без редактирования и добавления GPIO, разработчик haret -O'konel только начал заниматься этой проблемой совместимости haret & msm 7225-- это ему надо помогать!!!, а потом уже на рабочем haret делать zimage. При рабочем haret & неправильном zimage должно выскакивать - kernel panik!!!. На данный момент есть патчи исходных файлов, где добавлен ещё ряд GPIO к msm7225, но никто пока незанимался компиляцией haret.

НЕТУ ПОКА HARET С ПОДДЕРЖКОЙ MSM7225!!!

Translation:

I am not to understand that you test and what rent the $! Android & LinuxS work nebudut no support haret. You use haret which compiler apparently a student, placing the processor model in a number of 7200a, with no editing and adding GPIO, developer haret-O 'konel just begun to address the problem of compatibility haret & msm 7225 - is he needs help! And then already at work doing haret zimage. When working haret & wrong zimage be popping up - kernel panik!!!. At the moment there are patches of source files, which added a number of GPIO to msm7225, but nobody has nezanimalsya compilation haret. Neto YET HARET With support MSM7225!!!
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
people please stop asking for files now.. whatever files are present is for developers purpose only.. and sending files to everyone would waste time of the people who are working behind it.. if your not a developer and really want to help then donate for this project on the other thread.. =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
To All Member's & New Comer's.

Please be aware that all the files that are given by developers are for developing purposes. Do Not Ask For Files As Files Are Currently Being Developed. All News Will Be Updated To You, So dont worry sit down and relax. Developers will inform you what you need to know.

If you want to help, Help by going to the irc channel given by Captainkrtek. Remember asking of file wont do any better cause currently non of it will work yet. Progress is being made but wait for a 100% Stable & Working build. Thats all i can say.

Thanks.
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
read my post. its all in development by the team of professional u have to wait man. Be patient.
[Touch2 ROM Development] marchelh:
Do I understand correct that we have an Haret which boots the kernel to a panic state? Because thats good news. I'm unable to boot the kernel it reboots strait into WM after the start of haret or it has a black screen with the shutting down hardware and MMU message. Im using the zImage posted in this forum for now because I dont have a working build environment. Next week I can setup my own and start developing for the kernel.

I think one problem is: what are the values of the parameters into the haret boot "default.txt" file.

And problem two: We need the work the kernel to have all the modules needed to start.

Best thing I think is to start with a very small kernel with only some basic modules which shows that it can actually boot into the linux kernel on the device.

After that we can add more stuff to it and eliminate problems one by one.

Gr,

Marchel.
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
You guyz will rock.

Guyz,

I love to join you at your chat session. But i do not have internet at my home so i am not able to participate. But i think with the help of and hard work of @Captainkrtek# @bornotty# @ashburn# Quier# you guyz, we will make it very soon.

Thanx and cheers to you.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Captainkrtek:
Thanks :) we could use your input if you got any time join us in the chat. we are all on at random times to due us being sprawled across multiple time zones. Once i get the phone we should be able to test more :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
Guys, I cant use the chat because of some problems

And 1 more thing, when's the release date is?(If you feel this question troublesome, del this post)
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
Please calm down. We are still in early stage in the process. Don't expect anything stable for a while...
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
Nope i am not in a hurry. We still have time!

I will wait "forever"
[Touch2 ROM Development] OtiX2:
Well, I've just joined the chat but everyone seems afk :/ Gonna wait.
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
I want to said that I feel i've banned from the chat!!

I dont know why? So sorry for not coming to chat. (TRYING to go in)
[Touch2 ROM Development] Captainkrtek:
Agreed, im still in the process of receiving donations to get a Mega to dev on.
[Touch2 ROM Development] dcordes:
I will use http://htc-linux.org for any touch2 documentation and communication purposes as I think it is better to reuse and connect with present work rather than starting from scratch isolated.

What do others think?

cheers
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
it's fair enough in my opinion.. =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] lavs:
hv been offf for a while ... gud to see u guys wrking so hard on the prject .. will test the haret on my system and give u the results soon ..... cheers
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
By the way, how does Android handle QVGA screens ? I'm thinking of the Market here : how many apps are compatible ?
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
I think not so many are compatible.

Except Taskiller XD
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
Wait for a while

Dear @DannyBiker# we are now at very early stage. First we need to port the OS after that we will discuss about all the apps. And hope fully all android compatible apps will work for us.
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
I'm not asking this out of excitement; it's just a thought that popped up in my head. The Tattoo being QVGA and running Android, I thought it was legitimate to ask it here, just for information.

It's not like I keep posting messages like "where's Android ??", "where can I test ??" , "will there be a release soon ??"...:rolleyes:
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
The QVGA Android phones are G4(Tattoo)and G8(Wildfire)

I heard that the Wildfire are near support all the apps??(Just heard from my fd)

I dont know the compibility of Tattoo@@
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
Yes software will work

Guys, those software which are compatible for QVGA devices that sure gonna work for us. Its totally depend on what version of android (1.6.2.0,2.1,2.2) we can port. And there are lots of software out in market which are compatible with QVGA devices and all most every platform of android. So we not need to worry much about software cozy it will work for us. First problem is porting android and second one is with all the working hardware. Android, may be we can port it soon. But the biggest problem is all the hardware working with it. You can read out of xda forums there are so many devices (like hd2) working with android but not with all the hardware.

Hope for the best..
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
I concur. I must say that 90 to 100 % hardware compatibility is a must-have for me. Otherwise, I'll have to stick with WM.

I'm willing to wait as long as needed.:p
[Touch2 ROM Development] duchu:
now I wonder how it would be the use of android? Is that what happens in this topic is just for fun or maybe I'm wrong and goal is to create something of which you can use normally without any problems?
[Touch2 ROM Development] Martijn D:
Hello Danny,

I'm using the Vodafone 845 (Huawei u8120) also QVGA device running android, and there are plenty of apps available for it so don't worry it will be fine. And even apps who didn't show up in the market worked fine after a manual install.

Greets Martijn
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
Thanks Martijn.

Anyway, even 50 % of the Android Market would be a zillion time better than the Windows Marketplace...:D
[Touch2 ROM Development] Martijn D:
That's a fact no one can deny!

@devs: Isn't possible to make a log of the progresses you made? It probably saves you from answering a lot of questions.

Greets Martijn
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
Yeah I was planning to propose that : I can use the webspace where I create the www.androidhtcmega.com page to offer a changelog access. I can install a wiki this monday if you want...:)
[Touch2 ROM Development] dcordes:
ok I will help but as mentioned above I will not support some external project because there is just no point in it.
[Touch2 ROM Development] lexarrow:
@dcordes: Thank you for your support. I agree it makes more sense to have the dev information on htc-linux.

@others: There is a link on the site proposed by dcordes with the supported devices at: hxxp://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Devices. There is a link to the HTC Mega page (that is currently empty), but will be updated with information as soon as it will become available (dcordes, please correct me if I'm wrong).
[Touch2 ROM Development] htctouch2t3333:

[Touch2 ROM Development] yasir.97:

Hey how much as been donated :confused::confused::confused:
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
check the thread's title.. its written.. =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] liamatburnblue:
Hey guys,

I have some progress ;-) haret problems have been solved now it looks like we have kernel issues or maybe something to do with boot parameters

we get the "Go Go Go..." the phone reboots then goes into windows

I have attached the haret log file if anyone wants it
[Touch2 ROM Development] marchelh:
Sorry to say but a few of us where already so fare ;-)

I have several of those log files with the exact content as you have.

I still think it's a problem with Haret because I would expect a kernel panic with a frozen phone half way or pre booting the kernel instead of a reboot.

I think we are missing some key information regarding the Haret parameters.
[Touch2 ROM Development] rachanta:
the zImage compiled with HTC release Click / Tattoo with make msm7225_defconfig and also patched haret7225 does not run in the android emulator. I used android 1.6, QVGA, 120 density, camera pixels (as per HTC Touch2), mType 2293 set to ramaddr 0x10000000 and ramsize 0x08000000, using ext2 (set cmdline root=/dev/mmcblk02...) partition in which Neopeek_Android_1.6.tar.gz has been untarred to serve as rootfs.

With all this the best I have is a freeze after haret executes. (not black screen with shutting off hardware, turning off mmu..)

I am eagerly awaiting senior developers making a breakthrough for android on my HTC Touch2.

In the meanwhile how do I get tattoo source click-656120.tar.gz to run on the emulator. The zImage after succcessful make using cross compile toolchains etc, does not work with when the emulator is run with that zImage set as - kernel option. Can anybody help? I have successfully loaded wlan.ko to /system/lib/modules on the emulator and also created sdcard using mksdcard.

The line I am following is to get tattoo source to work on emulator and then figure out how to create a new zImage, and other files required to make an android HTCTouch2 going the haret7225 route. Any help or suggestions are welcome.

Once again I announce readiness to test.
[Touch2 ROM Development] mihnutzu:
I think that we'll be running android on mega in a month or so .
[Touch2 ROM Development] htctouch2t3333:
or maybe never ... there are no devlopers for our mega, or if they are, they haven't timp to lose for it ... our mega is not important, is a cheap phone :( last chance for our mega is one of us, that one who will find a working kernel ...:eek:
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
there is a developer who is willing to work on this.. but we need to donate him a touch2 device first! read the donation thread..
[Touch2 ROM Development] htctouch2t3333:
poor developer, why nobody is asking which is the reason that the users doesn't donate ?:confused:
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
Well, the excitement is over, now comes the sad reality : we might never have Android on this device due to a lack of involvement of the very same people who kept asking for it. Talk about irony !

I got my HTC Magic so I don't care much about it. Just don't complain in the future...:mad:
[Touch2 ROM Development] lexarrow:
Don't be discouraged by only one man's comments. There are still plenty of people who support the porting project. Just have patience and donate so we can reach our common goal.
[Touch2 ROM Development] ZeGuido:
May be a good link in signature to the donation would help.
[Touch2 ROM Development] kleptomanija:
I think that we somebody should try with to emulate wildfire instead tattoo and android 2.1 instead 1.6 because there is problem as i heard in tattoo. Maybe wildfire is touch 2 with android running.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Captainkrtek:
Just purchased the HTC Mega :) its shipping from germany should be here in a week or two, had to use a bunch of my own money along side with the donation money, anything helps! paypal: steven.richardspc@gmail.com
[Touch2 ROM Development] yasir.97:
Great so now the real challenge starts :D;), I wish you all good luck, I wish I could help but I don't know anything about the porting:( and developing:( and whatever you guys can do.:(
[Touch2 ROM Development] Martijn D:
Thats good news! I hope the people who promised money will transfer it soon. So people follow me ;)

If you need any help with translation (don't know how deep the German language goes in the devise) contact me. My German is better than my english.

My experience with the German ebayers is that they send fast. I hope you'll don't have trouble with importing the device (tax etc.)

Good luck!

this is great news FINALLY!! wish him luck guys.. =D
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:

[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
Be polite

Dude be polite with other users. Even i asked at jade forum to help us, with some donation. But from first reply you being rude to them. As you know MEGA and Jade has same processor. So if someone port android on one PDA, it is for both. It may be happen that jade forum can port earlier than us. So from next time be polite,friendly and helpful with every one.

Hope i do not hurt you.
[Touch2 ROM Development] HAKA:
ohk ohk.....

Sorry for that.....but let me tell you honestly, I was not rude..

It's just that I am overflowing with excitement about android on my mega, so I don't want anyone to intrrupt in this project.

and yes...I am a strong man, Words don't hurt me! lolz...
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
Problems?

Guys,

Haret

After studying from last three days i found may be problem is with Haret. Whichever haret we are using that is not designed for MSM7225 processor. According to haret site whenever you run haret.exe it should show "MSM7225" processor(correct me if i am wrong). But we are getting MSM7xxx,ARM,ARM6,MSM7500,MSM7200 or anything like these. One more thing i like to mention here MSM 7225 is based on "@Supported Instruction Set(s):	ARMv6 and CPU Core: ARM1136EJ-S" . So may be ARMv6 in haret should work. The problem is MSM7225 do not has any separate co-processor as other MSM processor and haret it basically designed for those processor which has co-processor built in. So this gonna be little panic for CAPTAINKRTEK. But hope he will handle this.

zImage

Now zImage. Again we have to built zImage for this particular processor.

initrd.gz

This thing we can extract from Android 2.2—codename: Froyo. This should work for us.

default.txt

This should not be a big deal for us. We need to find only mtype.

rootfs.img

It not gonna be any pain for us.
[Touch2 ROM Development] tee252:

Hi to all!

I'm a Jade user and I just want to share some knowledge.

If you check the thread "Lets COOK some ...... ANDROID !" in Jade section there is a HaRET compilet to work on the msm7225 processor. Credits go to richietos. (page 3, post 30)

The link is "xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=284592&d=1266872927"

The problem is that HaRET runs but gets stuck at "closing mmu...".

Maybe you guys could try this version of HaRET to see if it works on your MEGA, and give some feedback here or in Jade forum.

Hope this helps in some way.

if we get android working on mega are we going to be able to use android market and play

3D games?
[Touch2 ROM Development] :
yeah the market should work but i dont think 3d games will work because the touch2 doesnt have the capacity to run them

Nope. The touch2 can't run the touchflo 3D, so dont think anything about 3d@@
