hi,
as everybody know, HTC Alpine is the one without Extended ROM unlocker and the sad one there's no WM5 upgrade either. Now seem like Linux development for Alpine is working on.
How about your opinion using Linux on Alpine device? Do you recommended on using Linux? Will any newbies try to learn it from scratch?
Thanks everyone! Thanks [/b]
I'd like to use it. I enjoy using linux at my home pc when surfing net or watching films..
If there will be linux on Alpine and it will work stable especially with phone part - I use it instead of WM.
and if there will be open source of firmware it would be just great...=))
hope there'll be more positif reaction soon.....
Linux on HTC ALpine? This would be very great because there isn't any working WM5 for our devices!
Anybody has gotten the kernel 'zalp' too boot ? I only get a black screen with red/green lines..

Ok. That's some progress. I will try to make some changes and post a new kernel image.
ok this might sound like a dumb question but if you install Linux on your pda will you still be able to use tomtom5
emm.... everything will be fine.... :lol:
If you dont mind me asking, Where are you getting the kernel etc for this distro?

There are certain things to be fixed in alpine kernel: wifi, cpld irq, phone power, sound power, suspend/resume and so on.
Can you tell us what is working for you, and what is not working ?
I can't rememebr it anymore.
Can P3300 run Linux? I've just know the HTC universal can run the Linux system in stead of the windows mobile system. Does anybody know about this? I'm using the wm6, but the destop is not cool. I wanna have a change and try something new.
Well if you want to you can work on porting Android to our devices
Hi!
I don't see any news support of Artemis on the linux project page by xda-developers. Isn't there any work going on to port linux/android on Artemis?
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,

Hi,
I've searched but I haven't found any relevant topic to my question:
I have a PNA (Neverloss but I don't think it's important). It's based on Windows CE .NET CORE 4.2. My friend want me to start the "normal" GUI (to install 3rd party programs, etc..). Is it possible? Is it possible to make the device not to start the Navigation Program? As far as I know that windows mobile = windows CE + GUI. Are the GUI files completely left out?
plz help... thx!

But now I want to install some normal handygames which are .jar.
So I need any ava Manager but i didint found one which really works on my phone and I can't download the on which Aleut has postet in his thread because everything is in russian an if I want to download it, there's just a text in russian that i dont understand...

Thank
Julian
