Well, the problem is that you can never guess what's required and how to achieve it. First of all, developers really know nothing about the hardware before they begin hacking it. Until you finish the job, you can't estimate the time it takes to complete. The major problem is that most of us devote just a tiny bit of our time to the porting, because there are lots of interesting things to learn and to do except it, but mostly because everyone's either studying or working (or even both).

But if you really want to know what's needed.. well

1. Fix the LCD panel (add the initialisation code)

2. Fix the power saving (that's the greatest PITA right now) and 3D (the latter should be easy and is not really critical)

3. Implement Bluetooth, FM Radio, Camera (Should not be really hard on the driver side, but rather on the RPC protocol side)

4. Fix USB (should be easy.. actually, everything's done on the device driver side, the problem seems to be with the msm usb driver itself.. just needs real debugging)

5.Make a version of rom that boots from NAND (well, once you get the LCD to work correctly it's not a problem. It actually boots very well off nand, but without LCD and USB working it's not much fun, to tell the truth)

6.Clean up the code, drop the ****ty-droid and head forwards to SHR/Maemo MER/Meego or some other real linux distro with X11 and other things

7.Write up misc stuff (like optical joystick, illumination, new keypad driver and others)

But really, it you want to help, just begin researching everything yourself and exploring wince drivers. You know, Theo de Raadt once said: "shut up and hack", and that's the only way to get things done.

full ack

@sp3dev

full ack your post. the main problems ar not at android 2.x this source we have. but the kernel an its's modules (for kovsky) are the problem.

regards
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] angusmcb:
The ROM question has been answered time and again throughout various threads on xda-dev.

There is no real issue "porting" Android to kovsky. Android is a virtualized environment running on a linux

kernel and it is that kernel that has to be ported. "Android" runs 100% on kovsky with minimal modification.

So. There is only one issue with the linux kernel - that issue is when the linux kernel for kovsky

is good enough for someone to make the effort to pack up a ROM with that kernel,

a bootloader and the android system.

Now, the consensus is the kernel isn't as yet good enough for daily use -

if someone with the skills decides it is and makes a ROM, then they will

obviously do so.

The list of kernel stuff to be fixed is broadcast all over this board and asking kernel devs

to repeat themselves ad nauseum won't get it done any faster :D

well i have been searching around and no luck. when im at home, i got a rubber case for it since i tend to not drop my phone at home. but when im out, i tend to forget about my phone and drop it. now this hasn't happened to my nexus one but it has happened to my past phones (iphone 3gs, i phone 3g, blackberry curve, blackberry bold, sidekick lx 2009, sidekick lx, etc) so i need a heavy duty case for my nexus one curve. it doesn't have to look sexy but i wouldn't mind if it did :) will to go up to $50 for it. so any suggestion guys?
[Nexus One Accessories] damchi:
Do a search for "BLACK RUBBER DUAL COVER CASE FOR HTC NEXUS ONE GOOGLE" on Ebay. Fantastic silicone/hard plastic case for $7.99 (i paid additional $3.99 for international shipping) which seems to give the N1 much better protection than the standard rubber cases (i have one of those "argyle" ones).

Othe than that, there's Case-mate tough (which i believe is very similar to the one on ebay, don't know if it's worth more than 3 times as much), Seidio Innocase and Otterbox has N1 cases coming out.
[Nexus One Accessories] Rusty!:
I have a Tough Case (pink/black), it looks pretty good and does feel pretty hefty, has some very good reviews too.

Overall fit is very good, nothing loose, all holes line up bang on. I do like that the buttons are covered, and that being covered doesn't affect their operation. Also comes with a screen protector which doesn't mess with the visual quality or useability of the screen, which surprised me.

Really don't have a bad word to say about it, other than it's quite expensive for a case, I'd probably nit have bought it if I didn't get a good price.

I went with the black/black. Whoa pink and black? Anyway this is a damn good case and I'd look into it if I were you.
[Nexus One Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
im looking into that case mate and i got to say, im pretty damn impressed. im also impressed by the Otterbox $35 one. im guessing the otterbox is stronger.....but i think the case mate is sexy lol what you guys think???
[Nexus One Accessories] ChillRays:
I don't think you can go wrong with either.

One review on the case mate (tough case) website said that his phone survived a 35 foot drop to concrete. Someone in the general forum had a clear case that only covers the sides and back and it didn't even survive a 2 foot drop. :o
[Nexus One Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
grrrr both are so tempting. they both look rather good. i guess i will buy the case mate for now (along with an invisibleshield for screen and body protection) and buy the otterbox some other time. hope the case mate tough case feels as good as it looks :)
[Nexus One Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
also, i want fully body protection for the front, not just the screen. is the screen protector that case mate comes with enough? or is it better to get a full body invisibleshield?
[Nexus One Accessories] Rusty!:
Yes, pink and black:

:D

Well, the screen protector by definition only covers the screen, however the silicon skin part of the case protrudes a few mm (as seen in above pic), which will protect the front in the event of a face-plant.
[Nexus One Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
yea i seen that but i also want the whole front covered including the silver/gray part :)
[Nexus One Accessories] ChillRays:
Yeah... I personally wanted gray on black but the gray hard case was sold out at the time (they may be back up to stock now though). If you do pick a tough case, let us know which colors you went with..

also is that me in your signature? lol =D
[Nexus One Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
well see i had my heart set on the tough case but after seeing some reviews, i decided to go with Otterbox. when i had my iphone 3gs, i went to the apple store cuz my headphone jack stopped working. and the lady literally sat there for 20-30 minutes picking dusty and dirt and all this stuff out of the headphone jack and i seen the otterbox has those holes plugged up so yea thats my choice now lol i would have gone with all black or black n red. i might get it later on tho. n yea thats you lol i couldn't find a better quote to put on my sig :)
[Nexus One Accessories] ChillRays:
cool cool let me know how that otter box goes, I might pick one up too depending on how much you like it.

Quick further update. I left it last night at 91% battery, and everything turned off that CAN be turned off except the radio. This morning, after close on 9 hours sitting there, it's at 86%. I'm pretty stoked!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Eclipsed24:
A well done for perseverance! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pigphish:
nice hopefully these tips bump up my battery life
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] abprie:
thanks for the tipps, i'm going to check those reg-tweaks by ninja duck you mentioned.

i would be interested in the mean duration you can use the phone without charging, i'm getting about 3-4 days of medium usage from one charge.

i also rather prefer a good battery life over some eye candy, so no htc tf3d for me to (noticed, that this is the main power consumer). in fact, i like the old school today plugins better, as i can see all upcoming appointments with today agenda, have some nice quick start buttons with easy today launcher (including a link to zlaunchy, where i can start all programs via t9 typing), i see the connection state and messages status with phone wheaver and the bandwidth usage with spb wireless monitor.

one thing i would recommend you is phone wheaver, where you can set profiles, that are activated at a specific time.i use a day and a night profile - in the second one, PW will disable all connections, as i wont need them at night (including the cell connection - i dont know the proper name, i mean this standard phone connection to the carrier) and so the battery life is better even more. PW also has the possibiliy to place a toggle data connection button in the today plugin, so you can switch connections fast. (hope, this was not too much of a commercial, i just like the software.)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
If you sync to Outlook on the PC and set appointments and reminders on your calendar, having this turned off on the phone means you will not get any notifications of these events. Been curious about the other two, though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Quincey113:
Thanks for the advice. Battery seems to be an issue regularly cropping up. Maybe someone can help withm y current 'not' postive experience.

I have the TP2 exactly 12 months, and its been pretty good. Occasional freezes but nothing a soft reset doesnt handle, and its not too much hassle and i accept it because im a heavy user.

Battery has been reasonable. Always got me through the day, and it went on the charge every night.

About 2 weeks ago i suddenly noticed a change. Tbh it probably was creeping up up but i never noticed. Anyway, suddenly all im getting is about 4 hours!!! Battery will be showing about half full, next thing its beeping then off!!! Before if you went to bed with it fully charged and left it off the charger it would still have charge in the morning- now its dead as a doornail despite NO activity (email off, wifi off,bluetooth off, no progs runnign etc).

So onto ebay. Got a replacement battery but guess what- exactly the same!! I really dont think the new batterys faulty. Another one on the way just in case, but i think its a phone thing.

Any ideas???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] abprie:
I noticed that once the other day: battery was about 40% and the next morning the device had shut down. I have no idea what the reason was, but I guess I left googlemaps running with gps on or something... however, I didn't have this issue another time...

I have a Desire (NOT BRICKED), and I'm looking into this, amongst misc android stuff.

I have this line in my dmesg output:

I wonder what does it look like to a USB bricked phone. Can a bricked owner provide this output? My theory is that since the bootloader might be in some sort of a test/fallback mode, it might be feeding other options to the booting kernel (hence the lack of SD, FM radio, etc.).

Just a thought.
[Desire Android Development] xtcislove:
Tell me what to do, i test it !

Stupid Question maybe. But found with Rootexplorer in /sys/module/msm_serial_debugger/parameters a file named "enable" in ther is only a "Y" and in /sys/module/serial/parameters two files named "serial_enabled" and "modem_enabled" in both is only a "0". Could this have anything to do with the "brick"? o.O

[Desire Android Development] i6bazar:
Stupid Question: With root access we cannot specify the kernel options ?

Maybe it is due to HTC bootloader locking thing :(
[Desire Android Development] lgrangeia:
reboot the phone normally (turn off and back on) and then type in "dmesg" on a terminal screen. the kernel command line is near the top, probably in the first 10-15 lines.

Yes, I think we have very limited bootloader access, and less ways of changing boot parameters (as opposed to Nexus One users, for instance). But there are probably commands we can try to type in fastboot, and the boot command line might give us hints for that.

*never touch a running system xD*

btw...

have you tried to upgrade your phone with a original WWE upgrade from HTC (upgrade/overwrite, bootloader, spl, radio rom etc), so the bootloader must be repaired.....

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip

1. Make a Goldcard Klick Here

2. Rename the PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip to PB99IMG.zip

3. Copy the PB99IMG.zip to the SD-Card Root

4. Boot your Phone with BACK+POWER

5. Go into "Bootloader" with POWER-Button

6. Wait and Accept the Flash with VOL-UP

7. Phone iss Rebooting into Fastboot again, do Step 5+6 again

8. Now your Phone is Flashing

what if you use the .exe WWE upgrade.... does this completly overwrite the bootloader/spl? or just upgrade it if necessary if it jsut urgardes it ... is there a way to make it think its a newer version and overwrite the bootloader and spl

the guy who reflased get your

/ $ dmesg | grep -i kernel

for me ... if it hasn't fixed the values then it didn't re write the bootloader
[Desire Android Development] PsYDoX:
Bevor the update i have bootloader 0.75 and some usb problems, only loading over usb no hdd mount or sync etc.... then i installed the orignal WWE image from htc... usb now works fine but bootloder 0.80 and no root, only original htc system...
[Desire Android Development] JDouce:
if the birck already has bootloader 0.8 will it overwrite
[Desire Android Development] lgrangeia:
Flashing a stock RUU over a USB bricked device was tried already, I think...

I have another two far fetched theories for discussion regarding the cause of this:

I think we already established the cause of this is loading the custom recovery script or shell. So the brick might happen:

1 - When pushing the files to the device (adb push files): If this is the case, could it be that the Desire recovery kernel has a bug and the MTD devices memory region is overlapping some protected memory area such as NVRAM settings or other stuff?

2 -When executing Amon RA's recovery: could this binary be executing some illegal instruction or overwritting NVRAM in some way? It would be nice if someone pointed out to the source code of this particular version thats being used in Paul's rooting method.

Point 1 could be resolved by pushing the files to the sd card instead, chrooting and running recovery from the sd card, or another safe partition;

Point 2 could be resolved by investigating Amon Ra's recovery, probably using an emulator or stracing the binary or checking the source so that suspicious instructions could be investigated.

Regarding this last point, it must be noted that the bricking seems to happen only by _running_ the recovery, its not necessary to execute any operation. So the amount of code to check should be fairly small.
