Android 2.1 from the SDcard - XPERIA X10 General

Hi, I have no idea about programming and absolutely clueless about Android devolopement. I have been using x1 before the x10, and there somebody made Android 2.1 which starts off from the SD card. Even if we cannt get the phone rooted can do something like what they have done??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=622
If I sound like an idiot could the mods delete this thread please.

I believe that the X1 is WM6.5 ?
I don't think that Android and WM Devices have the same methods to root a phone...

I understood that he thinks that it may be possible to put 2.1 on the X10 with the X1 SD card method. And I answered that those 2 phones ave different OS, so for me it's not possible... that's all...

Ask jerpelea. He is a master chef and I saw him on this forum recently. I'm gonna try his x1 eclair port tonight but I'm willing to bet its great (just like everything he's made that I've used)

I thought we might be able RUN Android 2.1 from SD card just like we did in X1. I know that would not be a ROM and probably we would waste RAM too, but we might have the 2.1 anyway. In X1 they had lot of problems with drivers and everything (stuffs I don't understand ) but this is already an ANdroid phone, so drivers shouldn't be the problem (also because we already have the X10 ROM). Moreover we don't even need to map any keyboard, like we had to do in X1, cuz it has no keyboard

Theres no haret on linux..though as root you could have your system or data partition on the sdcard with no problems,just modifying the initrd..
And run windows 95 emulated too

Who is Haret??
just kidding, so I guess the answer is no not possible.
(now is the time for someone to say WAIT THERE MIGHT BE A WAY).

Ok so nobody said "wait a minute ..... we can do this...". Fine I will say it myself.
Wait a minute I think this could be done. See if we put DOSbox (win 3.1) as an app then start the haret from SD. And then we can get even Android 2.2.
So who knows how to do it??

DosBox to run 2.2 is a BAD idea sorry...
You can maybe boot 2.2 but the performance on dosbox is realy crappy.
Another ting, will the camera work, sound, gps, 3G, mic? +++
And the last thing i think dosbox is only read-only.
Try it and give us feedback. Maybe we can use it GL

Just my 2 cent:
Dosbox would only be needed to START booting linux, so the linux image then shoud run natively. A performance problem should not exist.
On my X1 haret.exe was only used to pass over control to the booting process. afterwards WiMo 6.5 was not running in background, the full ram was handed over to Android/Linux.
So the question should be, if dosbox would prevent haret.exe from initiating the booting process (as the adresses needed are "shielded") ....

Makes alot of sense

To me this all seems to make alot of sense. Dosbox.apk on SD card, Run haret, Boot Android 2.X. No altering of scripts shoould be needed for native android phones correct?
So why would this not work? Should be safe to try atleast and also alot easier than rooting the phone at this point. Am I right?

I just found a alpha version of dosbox for android, the only problem is that it does not support software keyboards. Is there any way to control the phone via a computer so we can try to boot haret?

I found a way to use the keyboard now but it covers up half the screen so im typing blind but it works! Just need to tell dosbox where to find haret now which i dont know how to do yet but im gonna figure it out!

Not to screw your hopes, but dosbox emulates msdos (x86) and therefore nothing compiled for arm is going to work (not winmo or haret)

Palm's WebOS-ROM

Hey, the ROM for the Palm Pre is out.
http://palm.com/ROM
http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pre_p100eww/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar (source)
If someone gets the ROM, wouldn't it be kinda cool trying to get it on the HTC devices?
Since I have no skills in programming or porting, I want to say that I'm interested in the thought. So who else is with me?
http://forums.precentral.net/web-os-development/184378-ok-rom-comes-30.html
Seems interesting. i cannot help but i would be interested in seeing this ported too. The only issue is that it is limited to devices with a keyboard as webOS does not have a software keyboard.
yes, but since they have "cracked" the OS, some have managed to build a "hello world" app. So touch keyboard are probably not that hard for the developers on xda

i tried to boot it on my touch dual... placed all nessecary files in /lib put the files onto a microSD, changed the haret default.txt, and booted it... it worked fine, without GUI tho. it ran fsck, started alsa up and ended in runlevel 2 at a login prompt. kind of weird... might have got the wrong rootfs by mistake, im gonna check that.
edit: indeed it was at the beginning of the boot sequence ( i created the nessecary /dev nodes using mknod ) i keep getting an error from the lib ld.so, that libgoodabort cannot be loaded. it stops after that point....
webOS seems to be a very nice fingerfriendly OS...
How much is actually the chance that webOS could be able to port to WM devices? Is webOS based on *nix like Android?
hmm, is webos going to be the new android for our devices? we may never know...

dude, how did you extract the content from the .jar? Extracted nova-cust-image-castle.rootfs.tar.gz from webOS.tar only?

think so! although its not open source (but the kernel is), it shouldnt be too hard to get it to work.... maybe only on omap devices though...
and yep, its *nix... java based as well apparently
i would loove to see webos come to our devices
Since WM can already multitask, wouldnt it be easier for some developers here to make a Windows mobile version of Tealos? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-adhk9BDnw
Make it a little more stable & with much better icons.
We wouldnt get the universal search that webos have or the notifications area at the bottom but we would still have multitasking plus everything else WM has that WebOs lacks
this will be a treat whenever it happens...but multiple resolution and everything might take some time...goodluck guys
sounds wicked!
I would love to see this happin... as don't think I could leave tha WM OS having other OS's and UI's just just more braging power for us! lol plus No expendable memory on pre meen I probly won't buy one... don't know why they do that! smartphone should come with two SD card slots minimum! one mainly for programs and second for swopable file storage (needed to drop a post so I can find this thread again)
wow
Epic grammar skills.
Hum. This could be interesting to test this OS on a htc touch hd (palm pre is not sold in france...).
Does somebody or a team tries to really do it?

LMAO! yea sorry lotsa misstypes.. i do use xda 99% of tha time on my touch-vogue.. and mainly use tha standerd windows keyboard wit keys tha size of my stylus tip lol but my txt'n grammer is way more legable now, beleave me..(or jus google me)..lol
SORRY OFF TOPIC!!!!
WEB OS ON WM WOULD BE THA SH#T! PLEASE GET THIS WORKING I MEEN DAMN!!!!
Yea guys this would be stella!!! more bragging rights for us on why were better then the cryphone lol.... but in general the palm pre OS does like bad ass an I wouldnt mind running it/messing with it on my htc fuze!!! hope this gets done!
Awesome! I hope people get this working... It would be awesome to get it working on my Samsung i730, but I'm pretty sure the phone doesn't have much of a userbase anymore....
i'm kind of a junkie when it comes to phones, and i was contemplating getting a palm pre, but the hardware keyboard is terrible, so i wouldn't want it... but i really like the os. its just that the phone itself is crap.
here's a question though.. i read that the palm pre can do data, and phone at the same time... if it were at all possible to run the palm os rom on a cdma sprint tp, would we be able to actually use evdo rev a features, such as that?

Since June 18, 2009 Palm was make Palm WebOS to OpenSource software http://pdnblog.palm.com/2009/06/palms-open-source-portal-is-now-available/
There are Palm WebOS opensource versions landed at: http://opensource.palm.com
Go to http://opensource.palm.com/packages.html to download Palm WebOS by versions, there are 1.0.1-4 versions are available to download. The latest is: http://opensource.palm.com/1.0.4/index.html
so, is it enough to start work out to port Palm WebOS to another one?
I have a BlueAngel device and wanted to port the nice OS to my device, anyone want to do it?

I was replying to someone else. Not sure why you quoted me on that one. I have no intention of ever running WinMo again, it even says so in my sig.
However if someone else wants to emulate WinMo on the hero I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to try. A lot of times people do things 'just to see if they'll work'....so lose the attitude.
yeah there isn't really a reason i want to just to see if there is a way and to see how it runs and such
how about throwing windows 98 up on that ***** and breaking out a nice bluetooth mouse and keyboard

From what I know, w7 will stripe data across internal storage and sdcard, so you would need another sdcard for android

[Q] OS switching windows - android - windows

First let me say thank you to the xda community. I have enjoyed several android rom on my HD2 and will continue to support and test roms hoping to make a permanent transition one day.
Now on to the meat of the thread. Since there are still several flaws in most builds still why not create a app that shuts down or suspends the session of android os without having a power cycle or hard reboot. This would allow the use to take full advantage of both OS surly making it the ultimate device.
Great. Now YOU go make one then.

Think its a pretty valid question. This would be good but don't think it is possible as Android can't access NAND yet and I'm guessing thats where the windows Kernal is so don't think it's possible. I may be totally wrong tho.

No. It shuts down wimno when haret is loaded.

As for webOS, it's very fun to use and stable...don't know why hp stopped producing tablets and the Pre3 because the os is smooth and stable
For the moment i just installed preware on it, and will run a 720p video to see how it works

[BOCHS][FUNNY EXPERIMENT] Android Donut 1.6 on Galaxy Note

Yesterday i've found BOCHS, a DOS emulator for Android, iOS and PC. It's capable to run every Windows (from Windows 3.1 or lower to Win7 starter), Ubuntu or every x86 based OS. So, as we know, the Note cant be downgraded other than 2.3.4 GB. So, i want to try the early build of Android (1.6 Donut) in his x86 version and see what happens. I'm downloading the iso right now. I will tell you what happens later. I'm not a developer, just a normal "Romflasher" user. Sorry my bad english!
Tested Ubuntu 12.10 and booted, but seconds later it says he needs a new kernel. Tested 98lite (windows 98) and booted fine and working almost everything so i hope it will work too.

Seriously, i didnt wanted to get a fully functional android 1.6 working in our note. I was bored, so i've found this app and i've thougt it was funny having that OS in our note, it wasnt a real experiment or something, just a funny try. Its obviously today, in 2013, this android version is obsolete...
well, going back oldskool is good
but it does takes time to render the "from the future" hardware that our Gal Note have
its safe to say that running older OS doesnt hurt ur phone, it just hurt ur brain hahaha
