All is possible!

BUT

-iPhone OS have is support only 4 devices (now) So it's little bit hard to get all the driver... (camera/network/touchscreen/processor..)

-iOs 4... Not really a good product... Test it on 3Gs and now on iPhone4 and i swear that it's not a amazing OS, just a simply os for Off user!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] snipey:
I believe the lack of open source in the iOS system will make porting it impossible. Also, Unix is not a linux distribution. Linux is an Unix like operating system...

@ guys lets keep the discussion to android on hd2 only, for other queries please post in the general section.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] donnellb:
I tried it.

it stops at /etc/rcS.d/S03udev: line 55: depmod: not found

and just a blinking line at the bottom left.

Is this correct. I loaded all files to the SD Card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MadSkilzGP:
THANK YOU GUYS!!!

If I win the lotto tomorrow ... you guys are on my list ... I know how much effort it has taken to come this far ... I think ALL HD2 owners will be more than grateful.

CANT WAIT! ... Oh ya ... and I WILL be sending some cash for sure!!! :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] conscept:
Amazing work guys, I will make a split donation also if I ever manage to get android on my HD2.. Well done

Thanks a lot for your wonderfull work :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RichardState:
Yipeee!

I am extatic about this!! The developers are fan~freaking~tastic! I've been watching this thread from the beginning. And I must say, it won't be long. If the kernel is up and running, Android up and running. Who knows, soon we can have Ubuntu on HD2. :D

And about iphone's os running on HD... WHY? You would be downgrading. Compared to android, iphone's os sucks. Oops, did I just say that out loud :p. But I suppose with the kernel running, it can be possible.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoran123456:
i believe getting touch screen driver to work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] madindehead:
Yeah, it would be nice to know what's to be done to get Android up and running in the HD2.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1Maximus1:
Ok, but do we now have to wait untill someone is gonna make a build of android for the HD2?

Do have to ask/find someone to make an android build or is it already take care of it?

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Easemypain:
every five minute I press f5 on youtube to see if someone is releasing a video with the title "android on hd2" :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zoran123456:
yeah, keep doing that for next 6 months :-)))
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1quickturbosix:
I bet its way sooner that 6 months dooood.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] madindehead:
Well, we need to know if someone is now working on an Android build, or, if it needs to be started from scratch.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1quickturbosix:
Follow on twitter. Sounds pretty promising

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] :
+1 It is exciting :D

I would like to say thanks to Cotulla for allowing us to progress with Android on our HD2...and of course dcordes for his continued hard work - I know a lot of guys who would have given up and gone home by now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dcordes:
I will provide some easily testable sets of builds later this day when I'm home from work. Others are already working on android builds. Will tweet and update here once there is something available!

Again thanks for all the support in the name of everybody contributing in this project!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1quickturbosix:
YOU.... are awesome!!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] beerupop:
WoW ! today is Gonna be a Great Day

thank you for your work mates !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1quickturbosix:
By "Easily Testable Sets of Builds" do you mean of the android OS? or of the Linux kernel?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maxld:
Linux kernel

Congratulations to dcordes and the other devs for getting a stable kernel working. This is great news. I knew it was just a matter of time. Once I get over these temporary financial dificulties, I will be making a good donation to the devs. I look forward to seeing android and other linux distros developed for our HD2s. And dcordes... I will definitely not forget how much work you put in, and I will make a point to remind other users in the future who put in all the hard work to make the kernel possible.

I understand dcordes concern... other devs will be making various android builds, and will take credit for them, and a lot of people don't understand that the working kernel was the hardest part and no builds would be possible without it. You always here XDAndroid getting credit for their android builds for the tp2, etc., and people don't think about who worked on the kernel to make those builds possible. People donate to XDAndroid, but I doubt they think about also making a donation to who made the kernel possible (which I believe dcordes was also involved in the msm72xx linux kernel work.). I hope any devs who release android or other linux builds will remember to give credit to dcordes and the other devs for making the working kernel.

And to people asking when android will be ready... please be patient. These things take time. No one knows exactly when it will be ready. And remember, we're not going to have android working as well as an android phone for a while... I don't think we have a fully working port for any WinMo phone yet, and some of them have been developed for years. If you want to use android full-time and have it fully functional, and don't want to use WinMo at all, it would be best to get an android phone. It could still be a long time before we have a fully functional port that makes use of all the phones hardware. Our HD2s are not going to run android like an EVO anytime soon, if ever. I still prefer to use WinMo most of the time... but it will be great to be able to boot into android when I want to use a specific app or play around in android. The HD2 is going to be one of the most versatile phones out there.... Runs WinMo6.5, soon Android, and hopefully WP7 in the future. You can't do that with an android phone... there's no WinMo ports for android phones.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] donnellb:
Any info

When I tried the files from the link on page 174 it stops at-----> /etc/rcS.d/S03udev: line 55: depmod: not found

and just a blinking line at the bottom left.

Is this correct. I loaded all files to the SD Card.

how can i skeep the login screen???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kevone07:
Can I ask, has anyone been getting the gay error report almost every time you reboot your device saying some bull**** about sending this to Microsoft. I think it has to do with the Cookie Home Tab Layout?.. Pissing me off but I will honor you and nvr forget what you done. THis will be epic, for me and everyone else that has an HD2, plus I am sure more people will get an HD2 once this job is a success!!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Carliz89:
I guess I bought my HD2 at the right time :) ive only had it for like 2 weeks. Cant wait for android and if I get a little more money I wouldnt mind donating some of it. It might be a while cuz I was unemployed for like 2 months:rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] donnellb:
Tell it not to send. if you have already told it to send connect to a WiFi network. I think it will only send the Error Report if you are on WiFi. I could be wrong on that though. Also The report will usually say was has crashed and. What does it sa when it comes up?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tsury:
Guys, if you haven't donated yet, and you've waited for something to actually happen before you do, then this is the time...

DONATE :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] David Balfour:
So congrats to all the dev's on this project you have done an immense job. As i can offer no support on the builds i can offer these words:

And so, my fellow Xda dev's: ask not what your community can do for you - ask what you can do for your community.

My fellow developers of the world: ask not what Xda Dev' s will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of all software.....

Keep up the good work all :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Hunterkll:
Imagine that the kernel is say, the heart of a body. android is everything else. you can't run a system without a heart, and a heart can't do much without a body, right?

Or you're just too stupid to read the first post and realize it says "ANDROID NOT YET THIS IS NOT EVEN CLOSE " etc etc
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1quickturbosix:
zomg lol lol!!!!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] b1ackplague:
Great Work!

I've been following this thread since there was only 10 pages (now theres 180!!). I just wanted to say thank you to the devs for all the work and that I will be donating to the project very soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chuck232:
A warm congratulations to the linux team! I'm excited to see what you guys come up with in the comings months. :)

As for a donation, what's the deal here? Do we send it off to dcordes and let it get redistributed from there?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Stech1987:
So, if I've understood correctly, we've got a stable kernel now...! In conclusion, what do we need for a working Android rom at the moment? "Only" touchscreen drivers? Or all the drivers (antenna, BTH, GPS, etc... etc...)?

Anyway, excellent work, I'll donate soon...!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kevone07:
THanks for all the hard work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 1quickturbosix:
Thats what I was guessing it was for?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lp894:
I get ur frustrations...but that 2nd part was completely pointless and uncalled for
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Shatterv2:
I think we need everything from the touch drivers to the antenna. Dont Quote me on this though. Maybe we'll have a build out for try in the near future.

Send it to dcordes, its all the same in the end i think.

DO NOT Link to torrent files, or discuss them on XDA. This is a violation of the Policies.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chuck232:
Yeah, he delivered the message in a rather rude fashion, but the first post does indeed say that any builds will be posted there once available. Seeing as no builds are posted, well, there are no builds available yet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:
This is great, can't w8 until there's a Touchscreen driver.

Hopefully they find another device that uses the same driver and/or the datasheet.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jalaluddin:
i noticed that for all the winmo devices that android was developed for , the camera did not work, will this be the same for the HD2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DaDoctor:

Good luck you amazing devs!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jinjabred:
Awesome work Devs!!! You guys keep up the great work! I will definitely be donating :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Khoufou:
I'd make a comment on this. Work is far from being *done* on the kernel side. Yes they found out the cause of segfault. Kudos for that. I've got a deep knowledge in linux kernel but just don't have spare time left to work on such project, so I quite know how difficult it was to track it down. Again: kudos.

*BUT* still left to be done are low level drivers for: sound / touchscreen / etc.

So basically what I'm saying is that dcordes and all others still have plenty of time to be congrats again :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Yeah, probably at first the camera and several other things won't work. It takes a long time to get these ports fully functional. The android ports on other winmo phones have been developed for years and still aren't fully functional (no camera, bluetooth, etc.).... expect it to be the same with the HD2 port. Thats why I say that if you plan on using android full-time, your probably better off getting an android phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] romskii:
sounds like it's better to buy an android phone, also it is easier
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sheraz150:
Damn just as soon as I was losing faith these guys came through and fixed the problem! Very well done fellas. As I'm reading the IRC logs right now, looks like their still having quite a bit of problems though :/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] heyyyitsjordan:
what is the difference between the touchscreen driver in the hd2 and the evo?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] avalst:
It's like the diff between and ATI video card and an NVIDIA Video card!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tRIACTIs:
exactly my opinion! if you absolutely want android, you should better buy an android device instead of annoy the devs in this thread with that boring, superfluous question: when it's finished?

it's done, when it's done! and i belive that the devs won't forgett to inform the rest of the world :rolleyes:

i'm happy with windows mobile (that's why i've bought a hd2 and not an android device) but also looking forward to "test" android on my device. and because i'm not able to port it by my self, i will wait until the skilled devs will finished... next week, next year or maybe even in three years (ok, then i'll probably have an other device :D)!

BTW @all involved devs: good job!!! keep on going... ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] charliemcf:
it SAYS IT ON THE FIRST POST YOU KNOW THE IMPORTANT ONE!

see usually people read the last few posts and the first few

first one tells all about it, 2nd post has updates.

so to answer your question, the 1st and 2nd post

have a nice day =]
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
Strike 1: not reading the first 2 posts (and that is not just for this thread but for all!)

Strike 2: Use of 4 letter words (masked or not) will not gain you any respect.

Strike 3: Calling people names is not tolerated here on XDA

Do not continue to do this or a site mod will be talking to you....

New HaRET build working for anyone else??

So I tried the new bootloader on my HD2 and it goes through the whole process but it wont show my video as the old HaRET bootloader did with the video. Is this new bootloader for the video or to load a linux build?? Did anyone else get this new bootloader to work?? HaRET (bootloader)

http://www.netripper.com/leo/haret-p...D8250-ONLY.exe
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fards:
yup working fine for me on another build and kernel. not the video player...

I'm getting as far as not finding /sbin/init I'll look into it on monday..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] majaz:
@fards Which build and kernel? If you don't mind me asking. I've got some time so I'd like to test on my phone a bit only as a tester though. Wish I could build though..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fards:
http://htc-linux.org/stuff/leo/leo-bootkit/ with netrippers adapted Haret from cotullas code.

oh you may need to change the startup.txt to point to your card. it was set at p2, I only have one partition on my card so it should be p1

I haven't tried one of my own built kernels yet, they are all at work on my linux box.

If I get chance (and no-one else beats me to it) then Ill have a play with some more this coming week.

don't use cotullas adapted kernel with the new haret, they don't seem to play very well together.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Blacked Out:

Hey guys, Am not too clued up on all this linux port stuff, but from what I understand is you have managed to get the HaRET working on the snapdragon processor without crashing, and its ment to be a mile store, so congrats guys. You hard work is very appriciated.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scrizz:

Somebody needs to get a working donation link put into the first reply on the engadget article. The 1st link (i'm assuming it was to dcordes paypal... i hope atleast) isn't working for people, and someone posted the xda-dev donation page in response. People are going to donate to xda (which isn't a bad thing) thinking that it goes to this project instead of actually donating to the people who are working on the project. I see someone even wanting to donate $100, but a link needs to be put up or xda website will get all the donations from engadget readers for this project. Anyone with an engadget account should respond on engadget and fix this. I want to see the donations going to the correct people.

I see someone commented that they just donated $100 to the link up there... thats $100 that would have went to this project but is going to the XDA website instead. I don't think a lot of people understand that the devs here don't get paid by xda. I guess I will make an account on engadget, but if anyone already has one, please reply to the first set of responses to the article.... read the 1st 20 responses and you'll see where people are donating to the wrong link.

EDIT: OK, I made an acct and posted the correct paypal to dcordes paypal. If anyone else has an account you should do the same so more people see it.

Dcordes, I hope I helped you get a few more donations from engadget people... hopefully they read all the comments and realize that donations to xda don't go to this project.
