GOOD NEWS for linux on omap850(HTC Wizard)

Hi,
I am regularly watching linux-omap mailing list and today someone post a patch that adds support to omap850.
Patch is available here :
http://source.mvista.com/git/gitweb...9ae42d4;f=arch/arm/mach-omap1/board-fsample.c
http://source.mvista.com/git/gitweb...4;f=include/asm-arm/arch-omap/board-fsample.h
it would be interesting to checkout the tree in a few days and check this patch.
Another thing, recently I try haret on TI omap but omap wasn't supported because haret is using the bad registry to identify cpu.
On the ML someone was asking the following :
Is the OMAP850 currently detected exactly like the 730 via the JTAG ID (see
> > arch/arm/mach-omap1/id.c)
Maybe it could help.
Unfortunately I don't have time to work on it and I am not skilled enough in linux dev. to work on this but I can help developpers.
In a few days we should be able to download the linux kernel with omap850 support at this address : http://linux.omap.com/
I will keep you informed.

TI says that the OMAP is a processor that supports LINUX. So we know it can run linux, already, except if HTC has done something to make things very difficult.
(there is also RiscOS that can run on ARM9 devices... lol... )

Well, they say linux because the ARM9 core is supported by linux. The problem would lie in the fact this is a SOC (system on chip), the chip has many other system devices built into it. Now, and Joe Shmoe can go and write drivers for the internal circuits. TI doesn't want to give out the info needed to write these drivers unless you buy the chip. This chip isn't like any other chip you can go to Arrow.com and buy. I'm not that great of a coder, so I have to wait for the support to appear. I'm happy to it did, there may be hope for the EDGE modem...?

How do I beneficial?
Hi there,
May I know how do I beneficial (in terms of building a 2.6.2x kernel for OMAP850) from the following patch?

I hope so....I'm willing to start a bounty, if we can get Android on the OMAP (ELFin), it would be genius.

Android on ARM920T phones? (like Trinity.. ;-))

Dear all,
as I wrote on this other post (excuse me for crossposting - please mods to close the wrong-placed one):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=384850
there are two guys that recompiled Android for ARMv4 processor - like ARM920T, the trinity processor!!
Here you have the links:
http://benno.id.au/blog/
http://perpetual-notion.blogspot.com/2008/10/android-freerunnder-updates.html
They are working on the Freerunner and Neo1973 devices.. but the processor is the same..
Anyone out there wants Android on our beloved trinity?
At the moment I have no spare time (and skills) to take the challenge.. but I hope that someone will do.
I think that with the source code the CLZ and Thumb mode issues are completely addressed.
Anyone could confirm this to me?
Best regards,
s

Hi,
i'm also interested to see android on my htc hermes. i'm waiting benos new blog entries to see if he was able to run the code on "Neo1973".
What is the diference between htc hermes and htc dream (g1) regarding other chips beside the prcessor?
i don't think that drivers included in android can cover all chips in hermes. can someone maybe make an list of same and different devices(chips) in this 2 devices?
thanks

G phone?
So this is the same OS that the G phone is sporting yeah?
If The flashing process isn't harder than the current process then I'd be up for this. Also will it brick the phone?
Need some people to test.

Great Topic!
More information about this here:

http://review.source.android.com/user/sean,,mcneil.com
Since the openmoko is very like the p3600 I will give these patches a try. Let you know!

That would be awesome !
Please tel us your progression.

I'm waiting for a Android ROM for my Trinity ^_^

This is what we can try. The openmoke images are out. Since the openmoke is very like the p3600 we could give these images a try. The images are located over here.
http://people.openmoko.org/sean_mcneil/androidfs.jffs2
http://people.openmoko.org/sean_mcneil/uImage-android
We need haret for the images as well.
http://www.handhelds.org/~koconnor/haret/haret-0.5.2.exe
The thing we also need is to have a proper default.txt for haret. Who can help?

Hi piethein,
This will replace the rom we have installed in the trinity or is like an emulator running under wm ?
We dont loss any wm rom that we have installed ?

Dear all,
here you have some (bad) news:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting/browse_thread/thread/906dcae21176d4e9#
at the link above you will find a thread I started in adroid-porting developers group.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting/browse_thread/thread/0b3743f8151783f6#
at this link there are other infos, but let me report two msgs:
shaice:
Dear all,
sorry to bother you with (probably) silly questions but..
I own a HTC trinity that use the same ARM920T processor of Freerunner.
I saw benno's and christopher's posts on their blogs...
Is there any chance that your binaries will run on other ARM920T
phones?
Thank you in advance for any answer.
Best regards,

Christopher Friedt:
Hi Shaice,
In short, no (for now...)
Chris
sigh sob!
Now I'm searching for some fresh news.
Stay tuned!
s

uhmm reading somewhere in the group I found this post:
Jean-Baptiste Queru
3 Nov, 01:14
The shipping G1s have 192MB. Earlier development devices had 128MB,
and that wasn't quite enough to smoothly run the applications that
ship with the G1. Even if all the device's RAM could be allocated to
Android (no baseband, no framebuffer) 64MB would probably be very
tight, to the point where even foreground applications would risk
getting killed because of low memory conditions (the browser
especially comes to mind). In 32MB the system is likely to be
thrashing for memory even before it's done starting the system server
(if it can even start it at all).

Mmmmh no good news for us.. :-/

....but forget about running exactly these images on your trinity units.
It won't work
I don't want to digg your hope but there's a lot to do to make it real.
First:
You'll need a kernel that suits to trinity and offer some features the android OS needs.
Second:
You'll have to modify the image in jffs2 format to get loaded on trinity or build up a tricky environment to mount these image files after booting the kernel.
Have fun!

Android on Trinity wanted!!
now that the full Android code is out it's possible!!
we can have Android on Trinity!!
please help... I cannot stand anymore WM!!

IMHO there is no enough memory to run smoothly android on trinity...
but stay tuned..
s

Dear all,
there is no hope for trinity users like us to see android running on our wonderful device.
As stated here:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-internals/browse_thread/thread/788c201e75ca7351
Android don't run on the ARM920T used in Neo1973.
In the following site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#ARM_cores there is a table
where are described all the ARM cpu.
Android framework is compiled for the ARMv5 architecture version, so run on
the all the processors that belong to this architecture version and also in
some cpu of the new architecture (ARMv6/v7).

Which Java VM..?

Hi all..! I have a euro niki 100, and just upgraded to Windows mobile 6.1 using the official rom update from HTC.. Speeds etc is better with 6.1..
However, i've encountered one minor issue with this upgrade.. It ships with Esmertec Jbed. And I guess this particular build doesn't play nice with Opera Mini.
The included build (i guess in the rom upgrade) is build 20080131. Opera Mini does work, however, the workarounds for getting it to work as signed (without the annoying nag screens) don't seem to work for me anymore. I think the old Java Vm version is the culprit. Is this version update-able..? I mean, i can't remove the current version using add/remove programs on the device.. Or is there a better Java VM out there, which would allow me to run, say Nokia s60 games aswell..? (read something about that aswell..) Some pointers please..? TIA

121 views and no reply whatsoever..? Wow..

having similar issue but not able to see any solution

Well, at least i have it fixed with the Esmertec jbed version that's in the default wm 6.1 update.
The workaround thats posted everywhere (edit the selector.utf file) doesn't seem to work (anymore?) because another file is missing (either in WM6.1 or in the newer version of Opera Mini, i don't know, would guess the latter..)
Anways, the solution to this "problem" is almost the same as in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=380504
In short; edit the selector.utf file as mentioned in the thread.. You should be able to find it in the \Windows\appdb directory on your device. Then, and this differs from the thread mentioned before, don't create or look for a JavaDb folder in your \Application Data directory, cause it doesn't exist. Instead, place the posted policy.utf file in the \Windows\appdb directory for the selector.utf fix to work. Kinda stupid i didn't try this before, but the search on XDA din't help me out there either so..
Now to see how Java games run on this Esmertec Jbed client..
Edit: Credits to truggl for posting his fix and uploading the necessary files..

tf3d on ba?

hey ive seen people who has claimed to have ported touchflo 3d to ba but where can i find links to downlaod it please help

Remember that there is an issue with the OpenGL drivers that prevents us (with older devices) from running that thing.

unless someone can code the driver to work with old devices lol

Ipaq 600 call waiting fix for fw0.88!!

i will start by saying i didn’t have the call waiting problem
but I did upgrade to 0.89 radio (test, have a look/see) and when doing so checked the hp callwaiting fix
4 me i found radio 0.89 not as good as the fw0.88 (bad on battery,wifi on/off time,gps, working with igo8.. )
anyway before returning to 0.88 I have modified the callwaiting fix to work on the 0.88 radio
I confirmed it was working on 2 devices of a friends that did had that problem
the only issue is that there is a mute on the first ring then every thing is o.k.
Please see if it will work/helps you
install to main memory then SR your device
enjoy

the 600 has different ID num (location of purchase...) and I wanted 2 know if it works on all 600 series (like hp SIM patch that fit only specified models)
after testing, please specify your device ID
Thanks 4 the feedback

Hi,
I did extract the cab from the HP local pach for SIM problems.
would you know how to make it "universal" for 600 series ?
I suppose I should extract a DLL inside the cab, modifie it then recompil the cab but it is above what I am able to do.
Edit : in case you could do something, here is the cab :

what happens when you install this cab?
the installation fails?
you get warning not? If so what is it?...

When I install this cab I have this error message :
ERROR : INVALID MODEL ID

Mine is FA992AT#ABB
ABB is my contry ID, I gess ABF is for France.
If I could change my country ID by editing the registry, it could be the simplest way but I did a search with the word "ABB" in my registry editor and found nothing.

check your inbox nd pm me if it works....
backup befor you try it!!!!
good luck

thanks a lot.
installation is ok now
It will take some time to see if it works for me or if it is harmful.
I'll keep you informed

happy to hear the installation was o.k but I will be happier if it will also work 4 you
don’t 4get some limitations are not just 4 the div "fun"
Good luck

For me it didn't work. It was installed fine, rebooted, but the problem is still there (the conversation is muted all the time when the second person rings).
So I disabled the call waiting feature and there is no problem at all now.
The second person who wants to talk with me will get a "number is busy" message and will have to call back later.
That's the best solution for me.

sorry 4 not answering sooner ....
did you install to device memory ?
do you have wm6 or 6.1? (4 now i know it works on hp wm6 only )
if you use hp wm6 ... then what is your product id?
tnx 4 testing and info ..
i will look into the fix and see if i can fit it to all devices
btw the call waiting fix is the one in the first post!

I have installed the call waitting fix from your first post. When the install wizard asked me I chosed main memory (not Ipaq files or storage card). Then I restarted the device.
O.S. is WM 6.1 build 20270 1.3.1

after a week, I can tell that this fixe is not harmfull for non designed country ID products.
I havn't had any unwanted softresets in a week so I can tell that this fix is working for MY problem.
I am not a heavy user of connection tools like wifi, bluetooth, GPRS, 3G and so one so I cannot tell if this fix is harmfull to connection tools.
the only thing I know is I can phone as normal, and I tried to connect to wifi and download weather data and it works.
As It is not harmfull for me I think I can give it for public download on this site.
It worked for me but it doesnt mean it may work for you so please backup your data before to try it.
Thanks again to EREZYAD for making it possible !!
