I've built a rootfs for the Desire HD:

[YOUTUBE]J0pRMq9R1P0[/YOUTUBE]

It's actually quite easy to get the basic functionality to work, but it gets really tricky (or nearly impossible) afterwards. Supporting hardware accelerated rendering seems not to be possible, because there is no open source or MeeGo-compatible driver of the Adreno 205 GPU.

I'll make a thread with instructions how to build the rootfs (and a prebuilt image) in the developement section on the Desire HD forum soon.

Any update on this? I can see Nokia has already released a device with this OS, which means it is getting stabilized.
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] stroughtonsmith:
Just a quick reply to say, no I haven't forgotten you guys, or this thread. Let me bring you up to speed…

In February, when Nokia announced they were moving to WP7, open source MeeGo was effectively dead. It was never going to be finished - Intel sat on it for a few months until they officially announced the end of their participation. What this means is the MeeGo I started ported to the HD2 almost a year ago is no longer a viable target.

However, Nokia did announce MeeGo Harmattan earlier this year - the likes of which you see on the N9 and N950. Unfortunately, this OS has very little to do with open source MeeGo - in fact it's pretty much Maemo 6 and just used the MeeGo name (it's Debian based, unlike the open source version which was Red Hat based). Harmattan is absolutely awesome, and I would love to see it working on the HD2. I've had access to the N950 for a couple months now but Nokia's license specifically denies me from attempting to reverse engineer anything, so it could never be used to help this project. Now that the N9 is publicly released, that can be attempted, although it's likely distribution of that in full would be disallowed too. That's something to worry about at a later date.

Unfortunately for us, Harmattan isn't an open source OS. It has quite a few security checks to stop it working on other devices, which would almost certainly require patching to remove. Thankfully, Harmattan is actually a fully featured OS that people could use, if it were ported. Since nobody else is working on this, though, I wouldn't hold your breath right now. It might be something I can look into over Christmas :(
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Marvlesz:
So no more 'normal' meego? but hey, the n9's har... will do just fine, it has meego in its name :p

Windows Phone 7 is not open source, but somehow it made its way to our beloved HD2 and I am sure you will be able to do the same with Harmattan !

Looking forward for the new year's eve. We had NAND Android last year's. This time I hope we'll be getting Meego Harm !

Thank you for your updates and your hard work, we all appreciate it very much ;)

MeeGo is dead. I tried to port (one of its) successors, Mer, to some.Androod devices, because (one of its) UI is based on KDE Plasma Active One and this looks really great.

However, this port is stuck, because I have some problems with the kernel

You might want to stop waiting my friend, there has not been any update since the 31st of October of 2011. While it is true that he didn't officially say that he abandoned this thread, he hasn't updated us in two years. And DFT dropped the project long time ago.

If you want to try a new OS, try going to the General HD2 Forum. You will find Firefox OS there.

Hi There Everyone ... Is There AnyThing New About It ? ... Maybe It Will Be Never Released ? ... Because The DFT Team And Also Members (such Cotulla ) Left Us With Our HD2 And Went To M7 Development ... So I Don't Think The Meego Will Get Released ... So We Need To Do Sth Our Selves ... If Anyone Knows Anything Please Tells The Others To Make Some Progress Our Selves ...

Thanks alot kawazaki for the quick responses

really anxious for release or at the very least a video =)
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Wlozier:
This is relevant to my interest.

It would be nice to have meego on the hd2

It would be really nice to use some of my ubuntu apps on my hd2.

Ubuntu is nice, but its really not designed for a smaller screen like meego is.

Meh its to be expected as development has just began.
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] JesusFreak316:
Great to just see it running. What's the primary reason for the sluggishness? Lack of 3d drivers since the interface is so 3d dependent from what I've heard or are there some other optimizations that can be done?
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] stroughtonsmith:
Graphics drivers. MeeGo *really* wants hardware OpenGL, the entire UI is set up for it. Without 3D, everything is sluggish.

[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] crisiscore_08:
in the video description it stated that it would take about 6 months for a clean release so does that mean that their not releasing it untill then or their going to do like they did with android they released it when it was "usuable" (not stable at all but usuable) and then many devs joined in on the fun

just curious as to how this is going to play out O_O

anyways thanks in advance for any responses =)
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] zarathustrax:
It's great to hear that someone is working on meego... I've been hoping someone would get somewhere with it soon. You should really try to talk to dcordes about it... he's one of the Linux kernel devs and creator of the ubuntu builds. I know he has done some work getting meego working and he would be a great person to collaborate with on this project. I was surprised actually, that it was someone other than him that was in the news about getting meego working. I know that he had it working somewhat a couple months ago, but because of the sluggishness and lack of 3d drivers, he never released a build yet. He may actually already have some more of the issues figured out, and I know he always said he planned on releasing a meego build. I'm sure he could contribute to this project and help getting a good working meego build for the hd2.
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Cotulla:
actually meego looks not finished yet. ever now no ship devices with meego exist, so development can be rather hard... because no devices which we can use as "standard". (in case of Android development it was "Desire" - we always can compare how some feature works on it and works on LEO)

it can be big problem.

now meego looks slow, laggy and buggy :)

but in primary it's more standard linux than android, current version from stroughtonsmith, ever have GCC inside and u can compile a lot of linux programs directly on device.
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Marvlesz:
Thank you, But can't we consider the N900 ? it runs Maemo, and it also does have MeeGo ?
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Cotulla:
yeah N900, but looks like it still doesn't runs very well there.
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] stroughtonsmith:
^ Mad props to Cotulla, by the way, for getting the kernel working great for the touchscreen and helping me out with the MeeGo effort :D

@kawazaki the N900 is an OMAP device, so unfortunately it doesn't make porting it to Snapdragon any easier. As far as I can tell, there are no Snapdragon GNU/Linux devices, only Android. (Also not to mention the N900 video drivers aren't enabled yet either from what I can tell)

We aren't signing people up, we are just taking votes. If you want to contribute hit the yes.

@Cotulla ..

I know that without a standard device the developing would rather be slow, but I will be testing on my N900 . it doesn't have that fast and smooth meego but it would help testing other stuff . And I don't want "MeeGo's Developing" to be Like android on NAND (which I highly appreciated btw :D) but It would take much longer if he just kept testing it himslef , we can help too. As for the 3D drivers, all of us can get it working , starting from myself and all those who voted yes !

@Stroughtonsmith ..

If it ,by any way, might brick our devices do not release it. But if it's safe please release it ;) (at the end it's up to you :))
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] crisiscore_08:
awesome so theirs a chance that it might be like android were their was the unstable release and then every dev joined in and perfected it speeding up the process =D

what does cotulla mean when he says

"And I don't want "MeeGo's Developing" to be Like android on NAND"??????
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] stroughtonsmith:
I expect he means he doesn't want it to turn into a monster project that takes months :-P I'm confident it wont tho, we're getting closer to release!
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Marvlesz:
Yeah, I'm Confident too, That Cotulla said the same thing about NAND when we where in September He said it'll be released soon. And his soon meant 4 months later (He released it in last-december) :D

I understand, So everyone, Expect MeeGo to be released in early April :-P (Just Kidding :D )
[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Cotulla:
why not months? It's actually normal. Look at android development for other HTC devices, people develops android for it by years, while actual LEO porting was done in 3 months (July Aug Sept, main set of stuffs).

Honestly I didn't said anything about NAND in September, except "I will start to work under it" ;) At least I mean this :)

Anyway, remember, it's hobby :) People spend their spare time for fun. If today developers are working hard, tomorrow they can have few exams or/and need spend time with family ;)

About meego porting... the whole OS isn't finished. it's main problem. AFAIK N900 have not working audio routing fully.

Such kind of development isn't good, because you never know where error: in your own actions or inside MEEGO :(

[HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General] Marvlesz:
Thank you and You're 100% correct, but it won't matter whether he released it unfinished or not becuase either way we won't find a MeeGo based device so the developing will continue the way it's on now.

What I'm saying is, when people here voted yes this meant we want the not-finished-yet version (in nand we couldn't do that due to the risk we might be taking) but in meego there is no risk . So he can release an initial version then continue his developing. :)

Yeah WiFi is now working properly after a bit of tweaking. It's still a manual process, as WiFi isn't quite hooked up to the UI right now in the current MeeGo builds, but it works!

MeeGo's DNS setup is currently fscked, so you will no doubt find websites that don't resolve for seemingly no reason (MeeGo on netbooks has the same issue right now), including, annoyingly, the Zypper update server/package repository :-P

Bear with us! We want to have our first release be somewhat usable, and there are lots of little things (and some major ones) to fix up for that to happen.

and theirs not even a start on one for WinMo 6.5 or 7 not even rumors
