It is possible

I have followed the instructions and Android works well in my touch2

http://www.simosoftprojects.com/androkkid.php
[Touch2 ROM Development] midas1:
But its only theme? We need OS
[Touch2 ROM Development] amigor:
Yeah, you're right! Does anyone tryed to run Android on Windows mobile??? As I said, my try was crashed. HARET gives me error after his start, he even do not try to load Android (((
[Touch2 ROM Development] A|ex:
yes android is working just a few bugs but is usable as a phone
[Touch2 ROM Development] uruko:
May be more information or instructions?
[Touch2 ROM Development] LtBlue:
Any chance of crashing or bricking the device ?!

come on give in some instructions and point out the possibilities of screwing up the device ;]] and ofc how could we fix it after that ...

we'r waitin..
[Touch2 ROM Development] amigor:
so, how did u start Android on Touch 2. We need details! ))
[Touch2 ROM Development] secosan:
Or maybe just a hoax.
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
yeah it's definitely a hoax.

I really want android on the mega :(
[Touch2 ROM Development] baklavoni:
I really don't understand you guys...

Why did you bought HTC Touch2, which is with WinMobile OS, when on other side you could buy HTC Tattoo with Android, and with more hardware, and also little cheaper...

And now, you want to put Android to Touch2... :D

Why didn't you buy android phone...?

I just don't see point...
[Touch2 ROM Development] ebsbow:
How about getting WM on the Tattoo?

These two devices seem as similar as it gets.
[Touch2 ROM Development] LtBlue:
i could buy the Tatto when i chosed my phone , but i didnt know WTF was Android ... just heard only that it's a new google OS and that's all ... and when heard that if u start posting all the apps for WM u cant stop for years , my choise was done ;]] now Android devices question if they can run WM on their devices and we quest if we can run Android on our devices :D isn't it cool :D

WinMo<--->Android fight which is better , but they want to run each other and give it a try :D ?! :D
[Touch2 ROM Development] secosan:
The touch 2 is half the price the Magic and the Hero are.
[Touch2 ROM Development] baklavoni:
@secosan

Touch2 is about 10 euros more expensive than Tattoo...

@LtBlue

It is nice to have dual boot (WinMO and Android). I have it on my Diamond.

Only thing is that Android will never get 100% ported to Diamond (or other WinMO device). There is always something missing,... and battery life when using WiFI is very short (approx 2 hours). This and other small bugs (plus frequent Android crashing on Diamond) is turning me from android on Diamond...

There is android topic in Diamond forum: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402002 with more than 6000 replies, and more than 1,600,000 views, but solution for 100% port of Android to Diamond is not yet found.

Honestly, I think it will never will be made... More likely, everyone who desperately want Android on Diamond, will buy Android device, like me... (still need money for that) :D

Well, I just wanna say to you all: Don't give up with android on Touch2, but most likely it will never work as it work on native Android device.

If you are desperately in need on Android device, then buy one...

And have in mind, that you will get more hardware with Android phone, and it will be cheaper than WinMO device in same rang.

Hope I helped a little...
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
I will provide help if needed but I have no technical knowledge what so ever. Therefore, beside testing, I won't be helpful, sorry...:p
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
If you have any beta version(or even just a piece of sxxt version) upload it or pm me. I will try.
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
And excuse me that can i put some chinese words in the sign that telling the people to help porting Android in T3333. Like this.(I am not a pro in Photoshop!!) I think that will make some chineses will help in it(MAYBE)
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
yea sure.. anything that would make this project more heard to people.. feel free.. =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] gr@ni:
any good news?
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
I repeat that I will provide any help needed. I am not familiar with coding at all but if simple tasks such as checking or changing large amount of values is needed, I'll be there !

And I'm comfortable with Photoshop if any design skills are needed.

To the member who created those great signatures :

could you provide a smaller one, like 100 pixels in height? I'd like to make it my default signature in many boards but they don't always allow such big signatures. I could do it myself if you don't have time...;)
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
Nope, the Chinese also waiting us to make the port android.......(There are chefs more than developer!)

Sorry for such a bad news
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
If things get serious (but I must say I'm not optimistic), I could provide web space for a dedicated wiki/board/blog. I have domain names and MySQL databases left...
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
@DannyBiker: i dont think it'll come to any need now.. =\
[Touch2 ROM Development] smoothtalker:
wow. i just looked at the htc tattoo kernel and there are a lot of files in there. it'd be hard to figure out which one's to modify.

does DZO or some other guys have a How To document somewhere in modifying existing kernels for use on another device?
[Touch2 ROM Development] adil123:
customize android kernel

this can help. for modifing kernel for arm cpu's and x86 cpu's

code.google.com/p/android-x86/wiki/CustomizeKernel
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
To any of you who are still not convinced about Android running on our phone, I'll just add that I'm hosting a website (smartqmid.com) for Chinese devices that have similar specifications (even less, they don't have a built-in camera for instance) and they run Android perfectly fine...:D
[Touch2 ROM Development] vesipyks:
Is there any progress with porting android to touch2 or is it all waiting behing the donations and finding a developer to help?
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
second one.
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
GUYS,

I am not so well with programing and software development. But last night i have read few of forums of internet. And i fount that HTC TATOO and HTC MEGA has almost similar configuration. Then i think HTC tatoo's Rom will work fine for us. I have mailed few of expert. hope they will reply me and can tell us how to port it on our phone. Can someone tell me is there anybody ever tried tatoo rom on our PDA?
[Touch2 ROM Development] sky94:
yes, guys are trying to port it's rom to our mega. we just need to make kernel, but we're not strong in this.
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
so hope guys out there can do with the help of what NemanjaLO suggested us...
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
ask him if a Touch2 device is offered to him then can he do it for us.. check our bounty thread on this forum..
[Touch2 ROM Development] htcshane19:
sounds promising.

Maybe we will have HTC Megadroid :p soon, fingers crossed:)

Would it be cheaper to get a mega from ebay or something like that.....

ive seen some in the UK like this for e.g http://bit.ly/92zAcn

£127.95 buy it now, unlocked.
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
So where is Quier..? He passed haret error or not.
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
So finally we have someone who want to work for us. Now lets talk with Cotulla and NetRipper if they can do more for us. If anyone has anything new to share so please share with us, so we can do it as soon as it possible.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Guys, calm down... I've spoken with NetRipper and I've got an solution but I don't know if that fix freeze and restart problem, cause it can be an kernel problem. NetRipper said that we can add some GPIO to kernel to be sure if haret boots him. I think that's all. Now I'm talking with NemanjaLO, so I say again, calm down, don't panic, cause till 2 weeks only I and bornotty are doing smth to run Android on our phone...
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
Thats really a good news! Hoping for progress
[Touch2 ROM Development] raghul:
awesome man...we are all behind you.. since we don't comment , it does not mean that we are not active here... its just that we( including me) cant do anything about this so we are not spamming here :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] mihnutzu:
Hope to see this soon :D
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
good.. at least NemanjaLO can give it a try if he gets the device..

if only we could meet our donations sooner enough.. we could have a possibility..

to everyone, please share our donation link to other forums/websites.. we finally have a developer who is willing to give this device a try.. =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] kamileon1:
yes!

wow, just got back from business trip and read this thread. sounds like there is some progress. keep up the work guys! i'll check the donations thread to see how much we've got now. thanks!
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
Hey guys, I've created a group in Facebook...

Hope you can invite more people to join this group!

[Touch2 ROM Development] amigor:
Any news? )) We want ANDROID on Mega! ))))
[Touch2 ROM Development] gordonpt:
which version they are working for?

unfortunatly the htc touch2 doesn't have G sensor for some apps :( but it will be great anyway.:)
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
which android version comes later.. first a kernel to support should be built.. i think Quier is working hard to make it work..
[Touch2 ROM Development] amigor:
Yeah. Thanks, guys for making a really hard work to port Android on Mega!
[Touch2 ROM Development] rachanta:
Could you please let me know how to make HTC Touch 2 T3333 run with android? Please upload the files.
[Touch2 ROM Development] vesipyks:
You really did not bother to read this topic at all, yes?
[Touch2 ROM Development] gordonpt:
any news? :\
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
Haret is not the problem

Guys,

i do not think haret is exact problam. Earlier haret was showing us unhandled exception. it stops at turning off MMU. Means we are hanging on booting process. Any one tried this with tatoo boot image.?
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
A good news

Htc jade and HTC Mega has almost same configuration. And RITCHETOS working hard to port android on jade. If he does then we ccan also use android on our phone.
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
nice find.. ; )
[Touch2 ROM Development] vesipyks:
Hello

I bought myself a HTC legend few days ago so I'm enjoying android but I am still willing to support the project of getting android to run on HTC Mega
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
I'm still supporting this aswell. :)

I'm sure it can be done but its just a matter of getting enough people involved.

Again, if any help (not requiring coding skills) is needed later in the project, count me in !
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Ok, that's my status:

HTC Tattoo kernel config - DONE;

HTC Tattoo kernel compiling - FAILED;

NemanjaLO - NO ANSWER;

Guy from Jade section - WAITING FOR ANSWER SINCE 1-2min;

I'll update it, if some work will be done...
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
so glad to hear from you! =D
[Touch2 ROM Development] bigga29:
I really hope this can be done
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
Hi guys.

I'm a expert user on linux, an I have a touch2 to.

I want help on this project, but the kernel of linux it's a little different of the Android, and i don't have any experience with that.

Can you tell me what I need to now to help you!!!!

I need a star to compiling the kernel, and a start...

sorry my English I'm a Portuguese guy.
[Touch2 ROM Development] liamatburnblue:
I'm also a linux expert, again I don't have experience with android kernels but I may be able to help you compile it? ;) Let us know what you already know and maybe we can all work together on this :-)

It's already a great phone.... let's make it better!
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
Hello.

Guys, can you tell me what tools I need to begin working on implementation?

I need to test the Touch2 to get an idea of what I have ahead.

someone can give me a light ...

do not send me to read because I'm sick of reading.

I need a quick introduction on how to install Android on your phone.

ie all the files needed.
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
check this http://www.htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=General

not much reading to do, just explanation.. follow the links on that page..
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
Yes, it's this.

and were I can download all the files?

For example it's seems that tattoo has the same hardware but without accelerometer.

way we can't do the port of that device?

I'm sorry my stupid questions but android i don't understand very much.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Ok, guys I'm not a linux pro, but I've got some expierence in android's kernel compiling. So I can tell you smth about it:

1. Download arm toolchains for make command: CLICK

2. Download a Tattoo kernel: CLICK

3. Make a kernel config by typing a make config command.

4. Type a make command with CROSS_COMPILE=../arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

5. That's all I guess, but that method gave me some errors, which I hadn't solved.
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
I'm having a hard time perceiving is the following.

1 - where are the files that the largest share of the staff began working to install the terminal to see what kind of errors are happening.

2 - what kind of change is necessarily the equipment that change is necessary to compile the Kernel?

3 - the men with more skull here to explain exactly what files are used and that changes already made, so that we can not lose more time on it, committing the same mistakes ...

4 - Haret this already created to boot the MEGA?

5 - was porreirp create a chat room where everyone there is sharing all the ideas and development in real time.

Because so well I think we would have much luck in getting set up this application to work on the touch.

I'm losing too much time trying to figure out what I need to compile the kernel for sure the terminal click to work with touch.

I do not know how well the Android or the characteristics of Hardwares walk through lost ...
[Touch2 ROM Development] lexarrow:
@Quier

What kind of errors did you get? Maybe you didn't have the prerequisite packages installed? I'll also try to build it tonight.
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
Hey guys, I had some free time today, look what I did to promote the project:

www.androidhtcmega.com

Tell me if you like it or not...;)
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
Well done.

congratulations really nice job.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
@mr_mufy We have a patched haret for Mega, look previous pages I posted a link to it...

@lexarrow I've obtained several make errors like make 127 error... I tried to google that problem, no results...
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
Yes, I now.

What I need to now it's what files are you using?

does any one can send the links of the work?
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
Haret is problam?

Guys we have patched haret for mega. When i use haret with "HD2 leo" android images it stuck to system checking process. Thats mean we are not able to enter in boot mode. If u guys notice-ed, the normal haret, which is used by most of the phone can get us to mmu process. That means we are about to boot. So i think the problem is still with haret
[Touch2 ROM Development] ashburn:
@Quier

Try reading this, Im Not Sure if this will help you or not. But this are some solution About Android Build Fix Error 127, 1 & 25 Android Build Fix
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
@sweetbinodray I asked about that NetRipper. He told me that haret is patched good, but to check if we're in boot process we need to write GPIO into kernel to check if it start to running.

But I can't do it, cause I'm not a dev...

@mr_mufy I wrote the links to kernel source and toolchains in my previous posts... To get haret files you can download versions for Kaiser or smth like this. At end you need to change zImage file (kernel) and check other options in default.txt file. And if you want to enable haret log you need to make a earlyharetlog.txt file.
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
I am so sick of it.

@Quier: i have tried almost every GPIO but din not able to work any of them. Ok, now we have to start from scratch. I am trying some more combination to got any GPIO that flips something visible. Hope for the best.

But one thing i am not able to understand here you all are saying that HARET is working fine. But i have not agree. I am still thinking that HARET is not working out for us. I am not so well with kernel but i am studying more.

And one thing more @Quier: what files you are using. ( you have said that you are getting 127 error). Send me the files.
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
default.txt

Guys,

Today i get some different problem. And this time its about "default.txt". I took "VaniljEclair_RLS10.zip", replaced haret wit haret7225. But i got "unhandled exception". Now i have changed default.txt, my phone got restart. Again i have tried other default.txt, it brought me to black screen and mu phone just hanged. So i think we have to set right command line to reach at boot process. If any one have this problem or fortunately u can jump up to boot mode then please let us know.

One more thing i like to share when i am using "Android 2.1 Hero For Topaz.rar" file (replaced haret with haret7225 it allow me to enter in black screen with something written there. I am not able to read those cozy it restart soon...
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
@sweetbinodray I've written link in my previous posts... I'm using Tattoo's kernel source code (error in services.o and other files - I don't remember them) and arm toolchains... There's not other way to use other files, cause HTC Tattoo is the mostly same Android phone.
[Touch2 ROM Development] lexarrow:
@ Quier

I built the zImage (kernel image) with the following commands using HTC Tattoo's kernel. The process gave me no errors:

kernel_msm-htc$ make ARCH=arm msm7225_defconfig
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path-to-toolchain/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi- zImage

The result of this process was:

Kernel: arch/arm/boot/zImage is ready

I can't test it because I still need to build initrd.gz and rootfs.img (which I don't know how to do)

I can't post a link to where I uploaded the kernel image (something like new users are not allowed to post external links)

How do I build initrd.gz and rootfs.img?
[Touch2 ROM Development] DannyBiker:
Send me the link in private, I'll post it for you...;)

I was thinking : how big are these files you're all handling ? Because if we're talking of files below 100 mo, a dropbox account (2gb free) could be great in order to share and centralize the files in one place. What do you think ? If you think it's a good idea or if you have a better one, share ! :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] welss:
What about this page?

hxxp://xdandroid.com/wiki/Downloads

You can download rootfs.img and initrd.gz download from there. The question is whether something can be done with them?
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Ok guys, well done. Please share your kernel, I'll test it with some command lines...
[Touch2 ROM Development] lexarrow:
the link to the image is:

great job guys! can't wait to see android on the touch 2. keep up the good work.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Ok, I've tested it and unfortunately no progress... I've obtained Go Go Go... haret message and then freeze... We need to add an GPIO to head.s...
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
I'm sorry guys.

But what in hell are the files that we need to config/port for work???
[Touch2 ROM Development] Captainkrtek:
I have some android experience like exploiting kernel conditions and rom cooking and flashing,

I'd be glad to help :)

XDA HTC Droid Eris/Vogue/Mega Forum Moderator
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
Ok, thank you very much. We have an problem with porting Android to our device. We had a freeze at HaRET, when booting. We don't obtain a black screen with command line... Only HaRET "Go, Go, Go..." message then freeze... We're using Tattoo kernel (source from developer.htc.com), and Kaiser's HaRET base files with patched haret.exe for MSM7225... If you any other questions or if you like to co-work with me please PM me, I'll be glad to answer. I've got a bit expierence in that,'cause I worked at it since about 1 month ago...

hi guys, the Spanish HTC Touch2 we are waiting for good news and I think every time we are closer to get in our little android. thank you very much for everything and encouragement. I know you can do, I trust in you.

hola chicos, los españoles de htc touch2 estamos a la espera de buenas noticias y creo que cada ves estamos mas cerca de conseguir android en nuestras pequeñas. muchas gracias por todo y ánimo. Yo se que vosotros podéis hacerlo, confío en vosotros.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Captainkrtek:
I do not own an HTC Mega myself but ill see what I can do, I also know many other people who work with this kind of stuff a lot. If you want I could contact them to see if they can help port android over on the Mega?

Cheers,

XDANDROID - Android Eclair 2.0.1 ???

I don't now if this is important but I find this topic on another forum I just trying to help.

http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=99867
[Touch2 ROM Development] Quier:
@bigga29 This is Android port for HTC TP2...

@Captainkrtek Hmmm... We have a bounty to buy Touch 2 for developer, who want to help us and don't have our device. But you'll talk with bornotty. Maybe we'll create some team, which ports Android to Touch2 (for example you are the main dev and yours friends and I are helpers).
[Touch2 ROM Development] Captainkrtek:
I Dont Know about me being the main dev :P I haven't ever done a project like this and i barely know the device *goes to the XDA Wiki* Ill see what I can do, I was one of the founding members of the team that got root for the droid eris and other things (Team AndIRC).

Lets get this rolling :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] yasir.97:
Hi guys I appreciate the work your doing and I wish you the best of luck :D ;) :)

Together we can port Android on the HTC Touch2

BTW if we succeed and port it will it work on the "Touch2 T3320 Special Edition" the one without 3g or GPS ?:confused::confused:
[Touch2 ROM Development] sweetbinodray:
HTC Touch 2(t3320)

@yasir.97, yes boy this is work for this one, both the phone has same thing. So not to worry for this.
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
wow.. with your involvement in this project this is seriously taking some good turns.. =D
[Touch2 ROM Development] Captainkrtek:
Quier and I worked on it for like 6 hours yesterday, we did plenty of research and contacted other devs. We sort of know what we need to do to get it and have been told it is possible. As for now though Quier is the only one of us two with a device so I cant test my own methods and since hes +9 hours difference from me we somewhat have to schedule time :P Im looking to buy a Touch2 if anyone is selling :D
[Touch2 ROM Development] mr_mufy:
HI,

Thanks for our help on this project.

I can test the possible solutions create by you.

I only need the file our a way to compelling the files to test.

I'm have a lots of time trying understand the proceed need to port android on WM, but I don't understand very much of android...

If you can tell me the files that I need to compiling for help you...
[Touch2 ROM Development] OtiX2:
Hi everyone,

this is my first post and I must say that I'm very glad to join the community. Furthermore I'd really like to help in porting Android on the htc touch2.

Unfortunately I have no knowledge on how to port android but as said above I can test files or even learn if you tell me how :)
