late question

I know its been a lot since the last post but i wonder if the android is available now for HTC touch2 , i have windows 6.5 already , i searched everywhere but i cant find an absolute answer , and if its available can i know in brief how to install it .. thanks :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] feddian:
I'm sorry mate, it's not and it will never be available for Touch 2. :(
[Touch2 ROM Development] Radon91:
Is there any news about the project ? :o
[Touch2 ROM Development] smala:
i think its a forlorn hope...

as far i know, Android will be too demanding for this "junk" :p phone.

The Touch2 is a WM6.x Phone and will die as it is. Nothing else :(

As reply to a my previous post, i really bought that junk for 300€, almost 3 years ago.

I will be honest: i'm not waiting for an Android port; I don't want other disappointments.
[Touch2 ROM Development] StripezZ:
In fact, the phone is not that junk. HTC Kaiser with a slower CPU, 128 RAM instead of 256 and 256 ROM instead of 512 runs Android just fine.

Also i've asked HTC officials about Mega's compatibility with Android, and the answer was: device IS technically compatible, though corporate policy prevents from revealing the technical details on how to install droid.
[Touch2 ROM Development] smala:
you're right, "junk" is neither appropriate nor correct; i was simply swearing a little. :(

Although MEGA is a little better than Kaiser in terms of hardware, is "old" for the next-generation smartphone market. That's why i think Android will not be officially ported to this device.

Tell me if i'm wrong...
[Touch2 ROM Development] Nicholaszeng:
which language your android ROM will be used?
[Touch2 ROM Development] fisher51112:
I wrote before that there are no "special" language in android, but i will work with android on english))
[Touch2 ROM Development] Morteh:
Waiting with excitement. Unfortunately, I cant be a beta tester since it is my jobphone and I need it to be up and running for sure.
[Touch2 ROM Development] liamatburnblue:
wouldn't dual boot be better... unless you can get everything working.. specifically phone features?

:-)
[Touch2 ROM Development] sky94:
on my opinion with native boot android will work faster, so it`ll be better. =)
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
if im not wrong i know that android on WM devices need to be emulated via WM.. but if you can make it a native install that'd be great too.. though it'd need to work with full functions.. wihout bugs but that'd need more time. anyway i support both ideas.. =)

though if u can pull off a native without emulating it via windows that'd be better it'll get full hardware power..
[Touch2 ROM Development] sky94:
Updated 03/12/2010?

didn`t notice sth new =/
[Touch2 ROM Development] Exsoul:
Maybe it's only for the beta testers :p idk
[Touch2 ROM Development] shhbz:
native booting will be good option as it will make full use of the processor and it wont slow down the phone:p
[Touch2 ROM Development] ahhl:
lets do haret first to prevent bricking the phone. once it works then only go to native booting.
[Touch2 ROM Development] pdadopod:
I hope Chinese language can be displayed in your Android. And I want to be a team of your beta testers team!
[Touch2 ROM Development] amienzero:
i'm game for native rom as it uses all resources available (processor/RAM) to boot android which makes it faster and more reliable.
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
native will require a final build, beta can cause unknown problems which can brick device

anyway its good to see that u asked the besta testers to be alert =) even a youtube video of running a beta version of android on our devices will be a huge treat for me this christmas! =D
[Touch2 ROM Development] misquamacus:

What version of android U porting?
[Touch2 ROM Development] kinsoon1234:

[Touch2 ROM Development] sat2madgo:
Native or Dual Boot

Everyone thinks Native is better...Me too but Isn't it possible to first check with Haret then go or Nand or native . . . just to avoid risks.:confused:
[Touch2 ROM Development] angus2006locked:
Yep, since Mr.Captain is absent for this project(Sor for my bad English)

There is a new dev to support this project. It let me got some hope again,

GD luck
[Touch2 ROM Development] megalow:
so is the android version u are using from wildfire a 2.1 or 2.2?
[Touch2 ROM Development] JeroenGijselaar:
Any developing news fisher?
[Touch2 ROM Development] taz1903:
hi

i want to ask something. is there any chance to install another htc device' s android os version to htc mega? for example htc phone which has closest hardware configuration??

any idea?
[Touch2 ROM Development] robocracy:
Tattoo

Could the HTC Tattoo be a possibility? For starters they have the same processor, Qualcomm® MSM7225™, 528 MHz, and same memory, same screen size. Greatest wishes to all the developers and contributors :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] taz1903:
i think hero is another option
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
Nope.

The Hero uses a MSM7600A or MSM7200A processor, whereas the Touch2 uses a MSM7225 one.

The screen resolution's different, and the Hero has a multi-touch screen but not for the Mega.

RAM's different.

Other stuff.

And anyway, why use the Hero one when there's the Tattoo one?

Well, but it's good to hear that someone else continued the project :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
the developer already said he's trying to port from HTC Wildfire
[Touch2 ROM Development] taz1903:
i hope he can port android to htc touch2 as soon as possible. i m very bored of using vm 6.5
[Touch2 ROM Development] Mr. Clown:
bornotty is right, OP has already stated why. It is important that you always checked post thread history and updates in the first page.
[Touch2 ROM Development] zhongfu:
Oh wait, it's wildfire. :/
[Touch2 ROM Development] Rubick92:
good luck man!

what version do you port 2.1 ili 2.2?
[Touch2 ROM Development] shhbz:
It seems fisher had made huge progress in this project according to his last update 10/12/2010.It seems this time definately it will be a sucess. FINGER crossed.

Best of luck and wishes.
[Touch2 ROM Development] sglandrpi:
Available beta tester

Dear fisher when the time comes for beta testing please count on my too. I am willing to test it on haret firstly. Keep up the good work. I am with you.
[Touch2 ROM Development] megalow:
can u make 1 version without the camera app? mine is the non camera edition
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
the version is going to be similar to this device check all detailed specifications leaving the hardware specs

http://www.htc.com/in/product/wildfire/specification.html

PM the developer for beta testing =)

I don't think running the regular version of android would be much of a problem even without the in-device camera
[Touch2 ROM Development] Snupk:
the version is going to be similar to this device check all detailed specifications leaving the hardware specs

Android version on this device is 2.1
[Touch2 ROM Development] gezegenci:
Hi everyone ;

WinMo is very bad i think. I want use Android on my mega.

Thanks for this project. Thans for all :)

We are waiting it :)
[Touch2 ROM Development] megalow:
i thought they had release an upgrade to 2.2 for wildfire? it would be better if the 2.2 is ported tho =/
[Touch2 ROM Development] lithoc:
Hi All,

Please be patience, personally I don;t care about which Android version.

Being a Linux engineer, the most important thing now is to boot up a workable kernel where all the drivers are in place.

Android can come in later.

Now, I'd like to ask few question I think most of us wanted to know also

- How to Re-Flash back to WinMO ROM?

- Does the SD card flashing method?

- How to revive a brick device

Expert out there, I really appreciate if you can help.

May be admin can create a New Thread for this topic

Thank you
[Touch2 ROM Development] bornotty:
i agree with you
[Touch2 ROM Development] Snupk:
There is update, but when you buy that phone, you get 2.1 up there....
[Touch2 ROM Development] amienzero:
funny. yesterday i met a friend who uses android phone and he told me how he wanted to have windows mobile installed on his phone. when i asked about WP7, he said he didn't liked it. he wanted winmo 6. each to his/her own i guess.

as for the project, let's focus on bringing the android to the phone first regardless of what version he will bring to us. once android is bootable, then we can start porting other android versions to our mega.
[Touch2 ROM Development] cg001:
i agree with you
[Touch2 ROM Development] BEELIKO1001:
I whant to test the alfa verision

i'm tired from the wm verision

it's ****y phone with that. hope to get andorid on this phone soon as possilble
[Touch2 ROM Development] TorN-d-:
stop hating windows mobile guys.

its not that android is that much better, but all u people just got bored with winmo.

i dont know about you, but i bought this phone because it has winmo. for the same money you can buy a practically same phone with android..
[Touch2 ROM Development] misquamacus:
I'm agree with U Torn.

WinMo it's not so bad as some guys talking.

One thing I hate in WinMo is his fingerfriendless.

I can wait for android paciently but using a wm is not a problem for me.

PS. sorry for my bad english.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Bareq:
As I think there is no problem with windows mobile but every one of us want to try something new

That's my opinion
[Touch2 ROM Development] taz1903:
hi

i think wmo is good for an operating system but only operating system. w. market place is the worst application center i ve ever seen. android market places serves us more applications.
[Touch2 ROM Development] xygrass:
You are right, we just want something new,

I can not wait to see what will android can bring us on this phone!
[Touch2 ROM Development] misquamacus:
I think that android don't give us nothing special.

Some alternative UI gives me a real fun.

Android on haret will be annoying.

Maybe android ROM it's a hope to us.With haret it's only a another (slow) UI
[Touch2 ROM Development] useyourlogic:
gonna argree with me being bored with winmo :p android at least will get me really excited about my mega again :rolleyes: praying for a safe and pleasant journey to us all on this development :cool:

as for new UI, i wouldn't complain if somehow, someday, windows phone 7 can get into mega :D
[Touch2 ROM Development] amienzero:
i didn't think Haret as another UI. for me it's more like an emulator. not all emulators are perfect and it will never run as perfect as the real hardware does. which is the reason why i choose native booting android over Haret booting android.
[Touch2 ROM Development] lithoc:
Haret have its limitation but is a safer approach when porting to android.

Porting a phone to android takes a lot courage(might bricking the phone) , time & resources especially there's no official support and help from manufacturer.

Even when it comes out as beta, it will have many unforeseen problems and issues.

It's not for everyone & everyday use for sure until it's stable enough.

Please be patience, it might take few more months or even years

We need to get the foundation(haret booting, proper kernel, drivers, keymap , memory mapping , etc) for this phone so that it's easier to develop in the future.

This is a crucial time for developer to get linux booted in this phone not to debate on the speed.

;)

Merry Christmas to u all

I hope the dev will release be4 March
[Touch2 ROM Development] pteek:
i think haret isn't a emulator,but its loads the linx kernel and shuts the Wm kernel still keeping the hardware initialized.

correct me if m wrong.

thnx

Yes I think is not a good time for this XD we all need party =P

But also waiting for it ^^
[Touch2 ROM Development] megalow:
i hope the project isnt dead
[Touch2 ROM Development] seb3773:
Yes, you're right. I don't understand why everybody here talking about "native boot" being faster when using android than using "haret boot" procedure. Well, native boot is only faster to start android because you don't have to load winCe first :p

But I think people must understand that

haret isn't an emulator

! Haret boots the Linux kernel after kicking Windows CE out of the RAM (well it does collect information about hardware and ressources too before doing it, in order to provide them to linux kernel), so android doesn't run on top of winCE, in fact absolutely nothing is emulated. After booting from haret,

android isn't running on top of win mobile

, it runs

native.

People. Try to understand simple things, this is not an easy task, Mega is not so much popular as HD2 for example. There will be no Android for Mega. It's second thread already, it will end with same results as previous one.:rolleyes:
[Touch2 ROM Development] Pr0b:
Sad, but true
[Touch2 ROM Development] belierzz:
Yes, unfortunately. In Germany it is even no longer listed on the Telekom homepage and is therefore not avialable anymore.

If we want Android, we will have to buy a new cell...

check this out

HTC linux project---> http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

How we can treat that info?

There's any chance to do that?
[Touch2 ROM Development] welss:
In some way you can use these files, most of the necessary information to add support for MSM7225 is just contained in Wildfire and Tattoo kernel release. If you look closely and match source code of Haret with kernel, you'll see that most of the operations for QSD8xxx is implemented on copy-paste.
[Touch2 ROM Development] Exsoul:
I think the same about android on mega plus not being a popular device.

Mega 0 - Android 3. :(
[Touch2 ROM Development] misquamacus:
So what is the problem?

Why it can't be done?

Yeah I know I'm a noob and that is not easy like I'm thinking.

Maybe open a new tread in open Android/WM forum on xda?
[Touch2 ROM Development] misquamacus:

I ask him what about porting and please him to write some news on this tread.

I hope it will..

what is wrong with our mega?
[Touch2 ROM Development] misquamacus:
U don't know?

It's not so popular like hd2 ;p

And from another hand it a quite cheap and poor phone.
[Touch2 ROM Development] cenkcnk:
yes it's not popular like hd2 but what about another models? dimond, hd etc

all of htc's are popular except mega?

mega is also cheap one, so more people can reach mega :S

anyway i think i will sell my mega for moving to android.
[Touch2 ROM Development] misquamacus:
U want sell Mega?

I bought my touch2 in July 2010 in Rome by 180 euro.

Now my mega in Poland is in price 80 euro.

In that price I newer bought a android device..
[Touch2 ROM Development] cenkcnk:
i bought it from first owner. so it was used.

in Turkey tattoo and mega approximately same price in second hand markets.

150-160 eurs.

all phones and pda's are very expensive in Turkey due the taxes and import costs.

I watch that huawei on yt...very slow phone on stock rom, but it's working quite well on custom roms...

Hmmm...al to all I choose my Mega ;p
[Touch2 ROM Development] smala:
Please, say me that this project is still live...

i want to bring this phone a new life; i've tried 3 customized roms but almost none of them gives me an acceptable device (last flashed is billabong's one)

GPS is terribly slow and sometimes it can't sync (even with seaSGEE, when it works);

Microsoft marketplace doesn't work (tioed the bootstrap, but nothing)

Photos, IMHO are terrible (due to the poor hardware :( )

I'm starting to think that Andreoid on this device will be a loss of time, because the MEGA's power is insufficent (no 3D graphics, multitouch, decent resolution)

I'm sorry for this post, but i'm a bit frustrated... 300€ burned in a BBQ.
[Touch2 ROM Development] misquamacus:
300€ ?!?! I bought a brand new Mega by 180€ o.O

There's a few phones without 3d, multitouch andwith qvga that works on android with no problems
