Hi to all fellow Athena owners.

It's been a while since i did any custom work for our phones, as I lost hope on the WM6x and the lack of support for our Athena400 models.

But now that Google Linux Android 2.1 is picking up steam in all other platforms, and seeing all the new HTC devices out and coming out with Android 2.1 there it seems to be light at the end of the tunnel, specially now with the addition of Gen.Y DualBOOT for WM6x phones.

after reading a few post in the forum i found new movements all round this front, so I felt inspired to try this project out and see how it turns out.

Here are our "ingredients"

Android 2.1 (Eclair) On HTC [09 Jun 2010] (V2.4) Improved GPS and Speed

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623792&highlight=x7510

[APP][25MAR10]Gen.Y DualBOOT v1.0.6.0[W|Q|VGA][CAB|EXT]

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=402654

Ultra Vanilla for SPL 1.2 and SPL 3.5 (we'll need to first re-cook it to work for the x7510)

1. So the idea is simple, to start we'll try to make the Gen.Y DualBOOT on our phone. If that works we'll...

2. Install Android 2.1 first on SD card, if it runs properly...

3. we'll move it to the internal Flash Drive of the X7510, this will let you run both WM6, 6.5 or 7.0... and Android 2.1x whenever you want.

4. Then start cooking a good build of Android 2.1 with all the must have basic applications related to our phone, once we can confirm it can receive and make calls, get the GPS, 3G, WiFi, and smooth video/audio play back (hopefully with support for our ATI chip)...

5. Then we can cook a vanilla WM6x ROM to include Gen.Y DualBOOT and default it to Android 2.1

Android 2.1 is great, but not that great, there are still lots of applications missing in the Android platform, by that I mean software that are only available on WM6x and not on Android, StyleTap has not yet created a WM6x emulator for Android yet.

So the only way to use any application that you need in WM6x is to boot back to WM6x and use it, then boot back to Android.

Currently I've a lot of old Palm OS software that i can continue to run comfortably in WM6x using StyleTap, so until then it's all about hunting a replacement software for Android or waiting for StyleTap to release their WM6x emulator.

I noticed a lot of interest around Android an our WM HTC phones.

If anyone has spare time, please feel free to pitch in.

I'll keep you guys updated with my progress
[Advantage X7510 General] Liebertkind:
Nice.

I am on for som testing when you are ready for that.
[Advantage X7510 General] peppi.nl:
This manual might help with the hunt for drivers.
[Advantage X7510 General] AllGamer:
Gen.Y Dual boot, works great.

I got as far as loading the Kernel.... when running Android 2.1 but after that, it just hangs.

I tried installing it as all the available supported models without over clock, and it wont get pass that way.

I think we'll need to spend some time hacking and repacking Android 2.1 to support Athena
[Advantage X7510 General] peppi.nl:
The the only thing Auto-Setup.exe seems to be doing is copying startup.txt from the models directory to the root of your memorycard.

containing:

This file is used by haret.exe in the booting process.

Time to edit that to something usefull.
[Advantage X7510 General] peppi.nl:
I have played a little with the 'set mtype xxxx', but it did not get me any further. It needs to point out to some usefulness in the kernel that is made for the Athena or is common to it.

On my search to a way to decompile zImage, I came upon a site that has various linux kernels for HTC smartphones.

Athena is in the list but has nothing yet.

http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[Advantage X7510 General] Liebertkind:
I have tried to search for Mtype, and found that i could be mtype = 182 !?!

set MTYPE 182

set FBDURINGBOOT 0

set KERNEL "zImage"

set RAMADDR 0x30008000

set CMDLINE "root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 mem=64M rootdelay=5 panic=30"

set kernelcrc 1

http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.haret/month=20090201

http://ibot.rikers.org/#htc-linux/20081002.html.gz

and on this page they are using mtype = 1289
[Advantage X7510 General] peppi.nl:
They are all probably using different kernels with different mtype adressings.

We probably need a kernel for intel PXA based devices with a Athena x7510 mtype in it.

There are some Athena related recources over here.

And some basic info about booting linux on a deveice over here.

It's been more than 10 years ago that I compiled a linux kernel and that was just for a 486 PC.
[Advantage X7510 General] notime2d8:
Hey, i'm making good progress on the Universal that has similar hardware you can check the status. So far i've gotten every version of android to boot on it so far.

If anybody already knows how to build a kernel i can provide some help/tips and files.
[Advantage X7510 General] AllGamer:
the Linux page is not all that bad, i see they have collected several relevant information already but they are still missing the CPU type, GPS, keyboard, and many other items.

Hello, you'd better go on a dell streak.

Maybe i will buy one but i don't know android and i wait for windows phone 7.
[Advantage X7510 General] peppi.nl:
Yes, I am probably going to buy the Dell Streak or the Motorola Driod X.

But even then, I am curious if the X7510 can be made into something useful.
[Advantage X7510 General] AllGamer:
this is going to be a slow process to re-vitalize our Athena phones with Android OS.

in the meantime i'm getting myself a Samsung Galaxy S i9000, with more insight and hands on into a working phone, this'll make it easier to figure how to make it work with Athena, obviously the main challenge are the drivers for Athena, i can then use a dump of the phone and hopefully be able to find and replace all the drivers to make it work with the Athena.

Having 2 phones will allow me to test stuff on my Athena without having to worry about bricking the phone and getting myself stranted with no smart-phone to use for my daiy business.
[Advantage X7510 General] notime2d8:
Quite a few of the drivers are already available here link

This athena device file seems to include gpio keys, keyboard, bluetooth and gps power, backlight and video, and touchscreen for the 2.6.32-rc5 kernel. If anyone knows how to build a linux kernel, they can simply download any android kernel 2.6.32+, and add this plus related files and build a android kernel for the athena and only have the remaining drivers to work on or improve.
[Advantage X7510 General] AllGamer:
i was scavenging the forum for files that we could use, and this proves to be rather interesting although abeit modified.

AvengerPenguin was working on getting android working on the x7501, which is pretty much the same as the x7510. Not sure what progress he made, or if he's still working on it, but you should look into teaming up with him. I know he has put a lot of hours into research and working on it. There are a couple android threads in the x7500 sections you should look at that he has posted in. I would love to see android on our athenas.
[Advantage X7510 General] AviUA:
I have also been looking at the Streak, but I don't think anything comes close to the hardware suite we have on the 7510 -- processor speed aside. i am one of those rare birds who LOVES the magnet-attached keyboard, but then I use my 7510 as a palmtop PDA, not a phone. I would beg, borrow, steal or bribe for a working version of Android on this device!

is there a way to view images in gmail synced in Outlook email. keeps showing up as a link to webpage.

what about a backup like nandroid. where it saves the ROM as well, so even if you flash a different rom, you can restore your back up to a different rom.

also maybe a way to be able to choose what you want the bottom left button do on the home screen. instead just being phone or camera
[HD2 General] lakeland:
I've tried a search but only threads with 1000+ replies are coming up and it's impossible to find an answer.

I'm running the latest energy rom and have been for about 3+ weeks. Nothing new has happened on the phone recently, it just decided this morning that sense would not load. I've tried resetting, replacing battery, sim, storage card, red button reset and no change. Must have reset at least 20 times.

Is there a way to fix sense without a hard reset?
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
something must of been installed, deleted, corrupted
[HD2 General] Spacechimp:
I had a problem installing .NET and CHT which resulted in Sense not loading. Had to do a factory reset (hold volume buttons etc) because nothing would get around it.
[HD2 General] lakeland:
Yeah there seems to be no response to dead sense. I've removed the energy rom and gone back to leon :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] shaneaus:
Place the phone.apk from this thread onto your SD card and use APKInstaller to install it. It should overwrite your stock phone.apk and will provide you the feature set you desire.

However, I don't know if this has been attempted on a SGS before - so be ready to restore your stock ROM if it doesn't work... :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kenkiller:
Waiting for a brave soul to try this.

I'm pretty sure the Phone app that comes with SGS is quite unique. After installing launcherpro the default phone button wouldn't even work until I replaced it.

Thanks for your help, I will do it once i get my SGS

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brantyr:
For some reason the setting for this is in Settings > Sound and Display, Vibrate for Incoming Calls which is by default unticked. I thought I saw another somewhere else, going to poke around a bit more.

Edit: Damn, can't find it. I swear I saw options for vibrating at the start and/or end and or during calls, maybe I'm getting confused with my Magic though?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parkave85:
I recently purchased a g1 off craigslist(no warranty) that works excellently except for the signal nearly never comes in... it will come in for very short periods then go out. The person I bought it from informed me of this problem and thus I paid less for it. They said they brought it to tmobile store and the tmobile store said to sell it on cl after they put a sim card in and it did the same thing to them. I really dont wanna pay the money to have it repaired. What do I do? Ive read that some g1s have a problem with the umts cable coming loose... is this the likely cause? As it works perfectly other than this I would like to know what else it could be before I take it apart and possibly mess something else up... any help would be nice

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] smw6180:
It makes sense if you think about it.

adb is the command, and that you have to have the path for, or be in the same directory.

push is a subset of the command...but not a command in and of itself. It's really an argument to adb. You won't find any 'push' command in your android tools folder because of that.

The file just has to be in your PWD, or you have to add a path to it:

adb push c:\foo\foo.txt /sdcard

for example.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rdot9:
sooo, what would i have to type in?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
I understand how it makes sense.. I want to verify though.

What exactly are you wanting to do?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rdot9:
change the bootanimation.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] pseudoremora:
You can either adb push the bootanimation.zip to /system/customize/resource or you can go to the frontpage and download the flashable version of the bootanimation and flash via recovery.

What ROM are you currently running?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rdot9:

Okay. We're going to do this my way.

1. Take your Android folder and put it on the root of your drive (C:\) -- basically, just move your Android folder from where's it at now and place it inside Local Disk.

**Again, find a bootanimation.zip you like around here or any other site and put that folder only (should be named bootanimation) inside the Android\tools folder.

2. Open command prompt, enter:

cd \
cd \Android\tools

3. Then enter:

adb devices

This will give you your serial # to your phone. If don't see your serial #, then -- on your phone, select: Menu - Settings - Applications - Development - Check USB Debugging. Then run the command again.

4. After you see your serial #, type:

adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local
adb shell reboot

This will push the bootanimation.zip folder to the /data/local directory. The second command will reboot your phone for you.
