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

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

I'm using cm7_tom_v2 2.3.2. there's arabic (egypt) in locale settings while the system could not be configured into arabic. but arabic can be typed and shown well on my device with ibrahim keyboard downloaded for the market. before flashing my device to 2.3.2 i was using sense 2.19, i required for help from the official site and they suggested downloading "customlocale.apk" in market. the arabic could be typed but could not be shown with the same settings which i use now. considering other performances of rom i prefer cm7 and i recommend it to you.
this is work for arabic keyboard ??? my device htc hero
Try nightly builds from CyanogenMod 7, I see it has arabic keyboard support.
Hi there !
I was working on an android 2.2 tablet and moved to Iconia android 3.0 and encounter one issue when using flash plugin :
- I bought a custom development on freelancer: the app is very simple, it launches my all flash website in full screen. It was working perfectly on 2.2
- Now it does not work on 3.0 : I get a blank screen.
This is all the more strange as the default browser (Chrome) can launch my apps without any problem....
Since the developper is not answering my email anymore, I need to fix this by myself. Anybody would know why my apps would not use the flash plugin while the default browser does ?
edit : I installed dolphin HD and it is the same : it cannot use the flash plugin !! really strange. Hence my question : where is the link between browser and flash plugin set up ??
thanks for any hints, I don't know where to start ....
Up !
I fixed the issue with dolphin : just needed to enable all plugin !
I thought : the default browser of the Iconia tab is chrome, my app is using the android default browser, so the issue must be to enable flash plugin in default android browser... but I have no access to its settings !
does anybody know how to launch the default android browser ?
thanks in advance, I am dying on this one ...... any help much much appreciated !

Hi All
Yesterday i found a very cool & powerful feature in the SDK 2.0.1 & i don't know if it is present in older SDKs & i just wanted to share my knowledge with you guys
That feature is called bada RTL (RTL= Remote test laboratory )
i followed the instructions in the SDK to activate that feature and got it running
I know you all have this question in your minds : So What did you get from that ?
The server can simply give you access to A REAL WORKING BADA DEVICE YOU CHOOSE TO RESERVE WITH A GIVEN IMEI
i reserved a S8530 with bada 1.2 and started testing on it right away
So if your test device is somehow BROKEN or simply DEAD and you want to test your app and have no time to fix you device just reserve a device and start testing on it
For more info read the attached file
P.S : There is no 2.0 device on that service until now
mylove90, as i remember this function was available earlier in sdk 1.2.1. we wrote about RTL in our blog in december 2010
