Android for HTC Touch / Elf

Hello,
I'm french, so please excuse-me for my eventually English mistakes.
I've seen that topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385129&page=10
But I don't see if there is a application for HTC Touch or HTC Elf in order to have the famous Android from Google. I've seen on the Internet that there was the application for HTC Vogue, but it doesn't work on our phones Touch / Elf. (white screen)
Is this application exist ? Or is it in developpement maybe ?
Thanks for your answers.

There aren't any applications. Android is an OS, like Windows Mobile. You can choose between WM and Android, but can't have both on your Elf.

Ok. Thanks. So how can I have Android on my HTC Touch ? I need to change my rom if I've understand. But where is it ?
Thanks.

there is no android rom for the elf. only for the elfin.

It's for Vogue, not Elf or Elfin.

Android??? Elfin??? GOOGLE!!!!
Can anyone confirm if the Android OS will be avalable for Elfin units please????

I don't think there will be any official version. Maybe some Elfin user will create it.

was anybody successful with running that on an elfin?!

I've got the elfin but I can't find the rom.
Thanks.

really interested in this.... The Htc Vogue (another processor) has achivied this, The Htc Niki too.. but they are not OMAP like elf or elfin...

I'm also very interested in this android "rom"
I read that some people was successful with the linuxboot on elfin.
Is there anyone who knows how to achieve it?

it won't run on the htc touch's CPU

THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE, buy that sucker somebody
http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/keepin-it-real-fake-part-clxxxii-hkc-touch-clone-sports-andro/

Ok, here's what I have found after a day of very disappointing reading:
There is a WM booting version of android for the vouge (which is a qualcomm processor)
That processor is also the same (similar) architecture as the one in the dream/g1. Which is why it works I assume. As a result the rom should also work on the titan, diamond, HD, etc.
As for the Elf and Elfin. They use the TI OMAP 850 board. Google did write a version of android that worked on that board for a tech show, but it has not appeared anywhere around in a usable form for a phone. (No USB or keyboard or anything)
IMO someone should just have to take the kernal from that example and the development for the vouge and run with it
But that is probably way harder than it sounds (and hasn't happened yet as far as I can tell)
Also, the severe limitations of the Elf's ram will mean it probably not work booting from WM (since it needs 32mb at a BARE not even usable minimum)

The Herald forums has been porting android to the Omap850. They're still early on in the development stages, but I would imagine that helping them out (for those of you who can actually program and make drivers) would set a layout to port it easily to the elf (since they have the same CPU and chipset.)

Please DO NOT GIVE UP. I want android on my Elf

Android ROM can resolve the problem of the Bricker HTC with CID locked ?
How ?
it's possible to install Adroid ROM from bootloader !! with SD card (FAT32) Now ?

[Q] Xperia x10 OS failure!

Hello people,
Im stuck with my Xperia x10.
I also rootet my xperia but after i removed the root from mogwai.
I did a Update via SEUS, and my phone wasn't able to boot. After the sony erricson logo.. i became each time.. this logo " exclamation mark " + a " black Handy"
I also called Sony ericsson, they told me there is nothing to do..
Hmm somebody is there who could help me.. my xperia is just 1 month years old..
Is there a possibility to format my handy and install complety the Android OS?
Thanks people i will appreciated for good solutions
Greetings Lilpimpie

Did you update your phone with SEUS or it failed??? Tried PC Companion?

Your Xperia is just one month...years old? lol
Maybe messing with your phone OS was a bit above your skill level, considering you have difficulties with basic grammar.
I wish people on this site would learn to speak properly.

I'm guessing english is not his native language, theres no need to be rude.
If you cant help dont post.

Calm down dude.
On the phone issue the OP is having, I can only suggest a reinstall using SEUS sorry buddy
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

Reinstalling from SEUS(not PC companion) should work just fine.
And no need to be rude. This is an forum in which people from different countries and with different languages post. At least his post was meaningful unlike yours.

OPs reference to a 'Handy' suggests his native language is German. His post, in English - a notoriously difficult language to master = is one hell of a sight better in vocabulary and grammar terms than I could muster in German............... Probably better than my French too - and I did do some of that at school!
As said, try reflashing on SEUS.

Gunstar. Just shut it

All you have to do is reinstall using SEUS again. If it doesn't work then use the old rooting method to install firmware without rooting.

I though you are cursing the OS based on title, but turn out you need help. lol.
Ok, you can try to use SEUS/PC Companion to fix the FW for you, but in some case, it won't work as SEUS will tell you that it doesn't recognize the phone.
The sure way to fix is by using the manual flashtools or using Omnius, you can go the Development section and check out the tools.
One time i also had this kind of problem, the exclamation mark during boot, SEUS can't work, but no worry. flashtools will work X10 is very hard to brick

That is not even a proper sentence, indeed you have sure shown me.
Anyways, back to the topic on, I was simply suggesting that the OP should maybe look into hobbies that are a bit easier to grasp. I for one would not dig myself into a hole I knew nothing to get out of, but see? There I go with common sense again! I am such a horrid person for speaking truth everywhere I post.
Carry on phone pals

how could I install CWM?
thx in advance for the tip

It's rooted so, same way as always, download rom manager from market and have it flashing CWM recovery for you

Thanks for this. I like your simple less-mod approach.
I have a problem with itunes .m4a tags on this and JVZ: they are messed up (no artist name or album art). On a fresh install. Flash back to JVR and they are fine..??
Anyone else? or a quick fix?

i am not sure if rom manager cwm will work -please report if it will and if possible post the exact process...
as for m4a tags. could you post one file that i could check it on ?

this does not work for me.
the update.zip (generated by ROM Manager) has a signature verification issue...

next version if time will let us do it
should have basic extended cwm implemented
for now it is only root wo cwm ...

Here is a m4a file to try
http://www.mediafire.com/?kavy6a2k4p9ubaj

here is what is says
14:27:00.908 Debug MediaProvider 250 We skip .m4a files album-art thumbnail generation because of Apple's policy : /mnt/sdcard/01 Lonely Boy.m4a

am i correct saying that it was working aok in xxjvt? if yes i think i know how to fix it

Thanks for checking this out. Got no answer in JW1 thread...
Not sure about JVT but JVR works fine...

fixing it would require a reliable copy of apktool i guess
so we have to wait for one

i guess that is the way of smsung to prevent apple to sue them more
they are removing anything that could give apple ground for another court case

Thanks again, I guess I'll stay on JVR, for now....
I noticed the same with early 2.3.4, or was it 2.3.3... Anyway, I guess there have been many court actions since then.

i would convert files in some other supported format and use latest firmware as it is a god damn progress made since jvr mate
you can not win apple so easy, sammy took around path i think
why spend milions on useless process when you can just disable that service
google music got a option to import music files from itunes so the problem will be solved that way
Google Music Beta seems most clearly targeted as an "iTunes killer." When you install the Google Music Manager desktop app, it will automatically import your iTunes library into Google, including playlists, and you can keep it synced, which potentially means your iPod and your Android will play the same songs. It will not import iTunes music locked by DRM, so those songs are stuck as iPod only, unless you figure out a way to defeat Apple's DRM.

Google Music only in the US for now, i think?
Yeah, I guess I could convert...
While I had JW1 i liked it and it seemed zippy, you truly think it is a big leap forward? more so than most FW updates?

it is not a secret that you can activate it using us proxy and then use the service from outside us
then you can use cloud service to upload music and stream it to your phone
only downside is that you will be unable to purchase apps untill it will be activated outside us / in your country
yes JW1 is giant leap for mankind compared to JVT it is simply faster
also the 2.3.6 fixed standby mode with all sync for me (means no moar wierd battery usage on that)

Problem with Data connection in MIUI

Hello guys,
I've been using MIUI for a while. But recently I'm facing problems connecting to data services. I have used 2 different simcards from 2 different operators and I'm sure my connection settings are all right
I'm using cLK (But have tried MAGLDR too, didn't work), my HSPL is 2.08 and radio version is 2.15
I have tried MIUI 2.3.16, 2.3.23 and 2.4.6
I see the data icon on my phone but I can't connect to the internet...
What's the problem and what's the solution?!
Thank you

you could try to re-flash a different ROM other than MIUI & see if the phone is OK.
I'm using jaguar's MIUI Rom & all seems OK.

I used to have this problem on older builds, (newer roms seem to alleviate it) .
I used to fix it by setting my dns settings to google's open dns servers (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) (in wireless advanced settings & in build.prop)

Go to settings, about phone and then network. (not sure if this process is the same for your ROM)
What does your operator name, signal strenth & mobile network say?

How can I input the DNS in here? What should I do?

Since you are using cLK, you should be fine with this (I don't know about MAGLDR) :
net.ppp0.dns1=8.8.8.8
net.ppp0.dns2=8.8.4.4
Just add the previous lines to your build.prop and make a restart. [YOU SHOULD MAKE A BACKUP FIRST ]
P.S : These are google's dns . Feel free to use your own favourite.
