Hi,

Been trying with the new haret but seems like im stuck with kernel panic prompting -Please append a correct root "=root" boot option.

Not sure where I did wrong, but I came across the following statement. Could it be that a missing rootfilesystem is causing it? If so, can anyone point me where I can get the rootfilesystem. Been googling it with little luck....

Sorry at first for the noob question :p

Again my never ending appreciation for the the gd job done by the devs

AWESOME guyz. This is GREAT progress. I shall be following this thread closely for the updates. I guess EVo has really helped you guys out with the SnapDragon drivers.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeDroidS:
I have read the full first two posts, hoping to gain information on getting my HD2 to successfully run adroid. I have looked here a few times hoping it will soon be completed. I saw a post on engadget(won't let me post link) that made me come back here as soon as I read it. So, from what I understand in the first post, everything seems to be working? Please excuse me, I am a bit of a n00b with flashing phones. I am some what tech savy, but not in this sense. From what I understand, I need the HaRET bootloader, and a linux build on my phone... What I don't know is how to do all this. Or, if this is even something that is fully working. I have heard from friends that they have had problems porting android to phones, they claim they get it to work with everything, but the phone functionality ceases to work. Can someone please create (or rather direct me to) a tutorial or step by step instructional to get get this to work? I am sorry if I am looking super n00bish by posting this, but I simply want to be sure that I am doing everything correctly, BEFORE I attempt to port my phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] chvvkumar:
From what I can understand of your post, no, it is not yet possible to use android on the HD2. The devs are just now able to load the linux bootloader on the hd2 without the CPU crashing. It is still a long ways off for a working android port.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DomZ:
Hi MikeDROIDS,

At this time, there is nothing to install by a noob.

Since yesterday, devs and skilled guys has been able to install linux kernel without errors (no more fu**ing segfault errors) ...

Next major step is to have a driver for the HD2 touch screen (it seems that this one has to be developped from scratch or reverse engeeniered).

Next we should raich the status of the other android phone ports easily.

As you may understand that could take some weeks to achive.

So please guys, be patient !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DomZ:
You're wrong CPU crashs are fixed, thanksfully to Cottula !

Next step is touch screen driver !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MikeDroidS:
Thanks, I guess I will just check up here on a weekly basis. I am relieved to know I don't have to sell this phone, I was very disappointed in the performance. Here I thought a 1GHz processor and 576MB could actually run windows smoothly.

Kernell question

Deleted post
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] thomas_06:
The stupidest question ever !!!

I'm so so sorry for this one :D

If they port android for HD2 is it would be able to display 16milion colors? :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
The answer is no!

Look at the spec sheets for the HD2 screen. Our HD2 screens capable of displaying 480x800 16bit colour. Android will display 65536 colours for us. You might think Android is magical but not magical enough to produce 16m colours on screens that do not support it.

On another note, we can display 720p or even 1080 video (scaled not native resolution) where as Windows Mobile will not allow it. Even Coreplayer will not play any HD content. So Android gives us that advantage and lets us push our other hardware components closer to their real limits (with good drivers of course!) .

Now for other questions on "will this work or will that work?" We will only be guessing as there is no working Android port! Everything should work in due time so please be patient!!!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Oberoth:
who says that the hardware of the HD2 isnt capable?

i think it is...

where did you read that the hd2 screen cannot produce 16m colors?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
It is a 16bit display for all versions of the HD2. You could have found this information from the "DEVICE DATABASE" link at the top of any page here at XDA.

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacom...3=2192&id4=2174&id5=1783&id6=2062&del_id=2062

If it is the Windows Mobile driver running at 16bit and the screen capable of more, that would be good news. But from what I have seen so far, it looks like the screen is only 16bit, never any mention of driver limitations.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HaMMeR-MaN:
No, not fully working at all. They have just got the Linux kernel at this point. There is still quite a lot of things to be done. I am sure as soon as they have Android stable and operational it will be updated on the first page in bold red letters. Best to be patient.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] HectiQ:
wow this is the BEST NEWS EVER! I'm only wondering if a dualboot could be possible, that would really make my day

edit. oh and that customised stuff you gotta flash, will it keep me able to use my own language somehow? curious :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Dangerously:
No. I don't think at first. It is supposed to detect the language by use of the SIM/network according to the link below but that could be only specific to Samsung phones (I don't have a way to test this)... Again, be patient as no working builds are here yet. Until then I'm just guessing.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DuperMan:
To all the impatient folk around here

How would you guys define "soon"?

For me having an alternate OS ported to not only a new device but a new architecture (albeit a subtype of the existing ARM) in (probably) just under a year after it was released if not sooner is FAST.

Stop interpreting soon in it's internet related meaning since the people working on it are not memes and instead try to think how long it would have took you to do the porting. Not "if you knew what they know", not "if I applied solutions it took months to find right at the start of the process". Try and assess the months of mastering the kernel and in many cases learning to code for their first time. The boring tedious weeks spent tweaking into building a development environment specific to this device's hardware.

No "could"s. Only consider "What if this was all up to me.

If we were told the anticipated release date is February 2011 it'd still have been "soon".

Thanks for reading,

DuperMan

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] theredundant:
yeah, from what I know, to run android, you need to boot haret (a program to load linux and android) from WinMO... so I think yeah you can keep your 6.5 stuff. if i am wrong please correct me...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zole2112:
That is basically correct. I installed the Android/Haret app on my wife's Rhodium and you run it like any other app from Winmo so Winmo is still there as usual and you choose when to run Android using Haret.

hey dcorders,

Thanks for the reply :D...

I am using the one from http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Toolchain which says works well with Q8X50...

http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/li...-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

arm eabi one... I commented out those lines for now (not sure if those are important for anything other than sleep mode)

EDIT: updating the toolchain did fix the problem without me having to comment out that code :)... but still getting some problems with kernel boot... will post on it while i continue debugging ;)...

I was able to compile it, and get an Image file, but am getting a Kernel panic stating something about VFS and not being able to mount root on block 0,0... I even tried the Image from

http://www.netripper.com/leo/?C=M;O=A

There are no differences between all versions of the HD2 other than the US TMobile which has a larger nand flash size. The nand will not be accessed for now so it will work. By using Haret, we do not flash linux/Android to our devices. This was explained in the first post but has now been removed.
