If you mean 'rom' in a sense of the 'wince update rom ',
then it does not exist (now).
The linux kernel was booted from a wince bootloader program
named 'haret'. The linux port to universal is not
really functional like the blueangel, but it will
be coming forward in the next weeks.

Does anyone have any experience with this program?
If yes,
1) Is it possible to build a OS for a custom device?
2) Is there a way to extract files from a magician ROM?
3) Is it posible to import magician drivers in the platform builder?
4) Can platoform builder create a ROM file with WM2005 to be used with the magician?
Any help is highly appreciated

Yes. I've managed to boot Pentium 3 with WinCE 4.20 about 2 years ago. Have not tested this with WinCE 5.0 but it should work.

Yes. Dumprom.

Mostly no. But several files can be imported.

Of cause it can.
But noone can use a trial PB to create WM5 ROM without BSPs. Only WinCE 5.0 ROMs can be created for a limited set of devices.
thank you very much
Hey, ive just installed the new PB and want to build a CE5 rom for a PC. Can you give me some tips on how you did it?
I also have a thin client box the Compaq T20, it has embedded NT4 atm and id love to put wince 5 on it too, if you have any helpfull hints id love to hear them.
Ive managed to build a rom, but im not sure how to make it work on a PC or the T20...
mamaich, if i wanted to build a rom for a HTC phone, how would I start?
Choose Xscale BSB, then maybe add some drivers, then how do I get it on the phone?
I don't want to have a fully functional OS, just to experiment. Are there any chances of destroying the bootloader or anything? If you have any experience or any tips please answer

You should start with Himalaya BSP. But you don;t have it of cause.
Hi! I'm a user of a QTEKS200, with Windows Mobile 5.0
And I find this new OS for SmarthPhone
http://www.openmoko.com/press/index.html
And I'm asking if somebody knows, how to boot this Linux Distribution on my S200.
If somebody know something, just tell in this forum!
You can't.
Since the hardware drivers for WM based devices like your S200 are part of the ROM image and tightly packed along with the OS, unless someone goes to the great trouble of reverse engineering them and recompiling for this new platform, there is no way your phone will run this OS.
Plus, from what I see on their site this is not a generic distribution, but like other embedded OSs a device specific version.

First, this distribution is not available. Second, the Prophet has omap850 CPU
which is a PITA to support with Linux because it is completely undocumented.
Hi there!
I was just wondering if anyone got linux up and running on one of this phones (especially I'm interested in the s730). Some kind of openmoko on a HTC would just be really great
So anyone - any information?
thx
Ali
EDIT:
I think, it should be possible, cause Android seems to run (better: is designed to run) on Qualcomm MSM7k series...
nothing? nobody?

There is a thread here about running win95 using bochs. I want to try to run DSL on bochs the problem is that i cannot find the wince version of the emu. If that is successfull i am looking at building a small gentoo system using matchbox as the window manager. Unless i can find a wince port for gtk that is
look up the WIKI and u will find all your answers
@cornelha:
bochs isn't the best solution when it goes down to linux. I think using the right compiled kernel (for arm9/11) would do it...
@ather90:
thanks
will look into that
Hi all,
Just read an artice on the hack of Google's impressive Android mobile OS. Hackers have used files from the emulator and installed the OS on some Linux phones. I was just thinking that there was a post on this forum saying that Linux could be Installed on Magician. Also Android uses Linux's kernal. So why not give Android a try. Would be great to use the new Android on Magician.
Any clues on how to proceed with the Installation ?
Is it really? I listen about porting on only Linux-PDA but Magican isn't Linux-PDA.
Of course, Android can run on the Magician, BUT never forget that you need drivers for the device - even for Linux!
And that's the problem: if you don't have any information about the chipset etc you will need month or even years to develop them.
If you want to run Linux on the Magician, there is already a project which try to develop drivers for Linux. Last time I read from their progress Linux runs on the Magician with the possibility to use the phone (but no GPRS)...
Use the search if you are interested;-)

It is http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician , isn't it?
So If Linux can be installed, then Android can also be installed. Because it supports all Linux compatible devices according to the hack.
For the DRIVER part, pls check the official Android website-
http://code.google.com/android/
and let us know. Waiting for your reply...
Thanks!
Peoples - a hve WORKING linux on my HTC magician.
name is Angstorm with GUi OpenMoko.
Work - tochscreen,Sound,GSM,blootuth.
thet meens - drivers are exist and work
Can anybody say, where i can download Google's Androuid for ANY platform ?
I'm Find =) Android For Zaurus
it seems to me, For using rootfs on magician we mast change drivers in it
http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/static.php?page=ZaurusAndroid
As me say one man, it takes compiling magican's drivers using Google android SDK.
Some useful links

Немного о портировании для OMAP -> http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP
Sory for my English =)
does anyone know how to actually download the Android platform? regardless of phone model or drivers? or is it just included in the SDK and you gotta compile it yourself? If I can somehow get my hands on a copy of the image I'll probably end up spending the next 3 weeks trying to flash it natively into the ROM
The Android sources can found on this page: http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list
It is only kernel. Without drivers.
Found a new article for search on "Android on HTC", got this:
Android Kernel Found, Android on HTC Kaiser imminent
It says, that the kernal works only on MSM7200A chipset for now.
Take a look, link: http://fandroid.net/content/android-kernel-found-android-htc-kaiser-imminent
what i cannot understand is:
if there is an working linux kernel (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianXanadux) than android should be executable also!?
All necessary driviers shold be available.
So why should it be impossible to have a running android on a Magician?
cheers
aitsch
p.s.: the Magician is a very fast device. maybe android is running well on it.
UPDATE: Google has released a new version of Android, v0.9
Any updates on running Andriod on Magician ?
I could run Linux (Openmoko) successfully.
yea! Android 1.0 it very good
we need this
linux can run on a magician and u can use phone on it but no sms and it's full of bug's
Hi all,
I have tried to download the angstrom linux and follow the instruction from this site http://linuxtogo.org/~ph5/magician/....
but I always had kernel panic when start booting the linux, after then I found out the unzipping wasn't successful there is an error occurred during unzipping.
Does anyone ever encounter the error when unzipping? your help would be much appreciated. thank you

Hi everybody,
are there any news on running android on magican. Did anybody manage to get it running?
w00t!
I for one cannot wait to boot winCE on my Magician! Id love to put ANDROID on it! from what it looks like they are only 80% done!
I have opie II running on magician (http://linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcmagician/)
and it runs perfectly (except a little bug eith the menu).
And here is a list what works in linux (http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician)so android should work

Interesting, I'll take a look! What are the bugs you personally notice?
http://www.enlightenment.org/p.php?p=about&l=en
After reading this i thought it is possible to bring this to our omap 850 devices so i just want see ur views
you can use e17 booting angstrom + illume thanks to wing linux project
but there aren't angstrom image ready to load you must compile...
As gp.triple pointed out, it should be possible to do. As Wing Linux uses Angstrom+Android so Angstrom+E17 shouldn't be a problem.
And pitillo on #wing-linux mentioned a couple of days ago that he was trying to build it for elf (aka Touch, another Omap850 device). If he succeded in making one, it should run as is on our devices.
Personally, I prefer having a Kernel that supports all Opal features before worrying about builds and packages. And sadely, I'm not having lots of success there
Anyway, check the link in my sig if you want to know more about Wing Linux.

're right I also think that before we have a working kernel and then you can choose what you prefer
Linux is freedom
i tried android wing linux already , its cool thnx musik monk
