PSFreedom for Android? Is it possible devs?

hi guys,
I don't know if you're familiar but for some time there are some options available to jailbreak your PS3.
The smart guys of the world managed to do so via an USB Dongle and as well via N900 and it seems PalmPre.
Would this be possible via Android/HD2? I suppose it should..
Below are some links so that you devs can have a look at it:

Update: it seems someone is working on an Android version: http://psx-scene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=65246

there's a version for Nokia N900.. hope a port for Android is coming up next

great http://www.ps3news.com/PS3-Hacks/ps-jailbreak-tiny-clone-android-psgroove-port-in-development/

it's absolutely incredible what the devs and technology can do today. wish I knew all that much to do it myself!

this would end up being a app not a build , better in general section ....or better yet in the android general where all those developers are

Yeah, perhaps. I only wanted to know if it would be ported to Android if we could have it on our HD2

i found this link to screens of the guy who says he is working on an android version.
http://howtohackps3.com/psgroove-on-android-updates-openpsjailbreak/
I really want to help program, I am on the github and reviewing the code and seeing if ill be able to convert it myself. i have some free time so ill fool with it.

omg thats so amazing! after this all done all i need is the ps3 lol

There's also a Nexus One PSFreedom out but it sucks that none of them will work for the HD2

and why do you say it won't work on the HD2?

i have read that android must be on the root of the phone. so hd2 has no android root. i'm a noob so if i say it wrong than someone correct me.

Let's just hope the smart devs will get this on our beloved HD2s. I have complete faith in them! Just look around and you'll see impossible is nothing!

But I read in a website there that people were getting banned, so it kinda beats the purpose if you want to play online games. You would only be able to play story mode games with your internet disconnected.

i'm not afraid of a ban. i think i will buy a second ps3 for backupgames. so one for online and one for backups...........

Actually no.. These things aren't actual illegal..
I remember some lawsuit from apple which they lost on this firmware modding.
All this PSFreedom thing does is load the PS3 into debug mode.
Don't really see what's illegal about that..

exactly. I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation of all the homebrew that'll be available. Proper mkv playback, better PS1/2 emulation than the original fat PS3's "hardware" PS2 emu capabilities, snes emulation, better browser (firefox?)... once it's opened up to run anything, the possibilities are endless

oooh yeaah.. 1080p mkv in PS3 willbe juuust right.. I hope someone will port xbmc to ps3..

sony released a new up date that has closed the door so dont update guys

ROM-patch - 2 way true call recording

Hi all devs..
The Desire has now been blessed with a kernel patch that actually allows true 2-way call recording directly from the line, and not just recordings from the Mic..
It has also been developed for the HTC HD2 Android nand builds.
I'm not a developer so I don't really know what I am talking about, but it seems that ones this baby was cracked, it easily ports to different builds and hardware..
Sooo wouldn't it be pure awesomeness if the DHD developers could do some magic with this also??
It seems to be a patch for kernels, but I guess it needs some sort of fundamental change if it should work on DHD..
If you are a developer or a Rom/kernel cooker, please take a look at it! Specially you LeeDroid;-)
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I think lots of good things like this will come once htc releases their source for the gingerbread kernel... have patience

if only we had a link to the desire patch...

here you go

As far as I could read it is radio-dependent.
We must wait for a radio that can allow us to do so.
(it controls the chips on the board)

As far as I can see, it's a few rpcs and ioctls.
The radio version shouldn't be a problem. As for the DHD, we'd need to port the code to qdsp5v2, since the original patch is intended for qdspv6

i really hate asking dumb questions like this, so sorry in advance
but could someone please paste a link on how to apply update.zip
renaming it to update.zip and running it is saying updating kernel in clockwork.
then no boot, what do i do after i installed the apk
Im on leedroid 2.2.2 kernel 2.2.9

HDMI mirroring

I am running gingerblur 4.0 and loving it. Problem I am having is when I play HBO go or something simular it is 90 degrees out. Am I missing something or is there a setting to correct it? And before anyone asks no I am not going to turn my television on its side.

The mirroring app for the Atrix doesn't support landscape mode. I believe people are currently working on this, using the app from the Droid X2.

Thank you very much. I was sure it was me and didn't want to ask.

Hi all
Because i have fewer than 10 posts, i can't post to this thread
so i decided to Post here, hope that a developer read this.
I've just installed the Photon Alien ROM on the Atrix and it works basically (no cam, wifi etc. etc...).
But the great message is that the HDMI mirroring works smooth like hell and in landscape mode, youtube, videos, games how it should to be(the resolution could be better).
So any developer please port this to Atrix!!! this can not be that hard now?

i'm about 98% sure he's being sarcastic

Actually, he's right. It's a matter of separating out the correct files, tweaking a few others, and having HDMI mirroring on the Atrix.

I just downloaded kens photon rom and extracted it , it does not even have a boot img in it. So it is probably a matter of porting the the hdmi apk and its dependencies.

I pretty sure its at a Kernal Level, but it shouldn't be to difficult. Our current kernel contributers, Kholk, Faux, and Edgar, with the collaboration of Ken should be able to figure this out.
Another approach would to work backwards. Take Kens Photon Alien and patch it to make it work for Atrix perfectly

Yes it works great.. Im having trouble porting it to 4.5.91 but i have fixed wifi and cellular data on the photon rom.

Once this gets going is it possible to have an option for mirroring when inserted into lapdock? Sometimes i don't need webtop and the extra ram and performance would be preferable.

[DONATION] Donation towards fully working skype video calls

Hi,
I would like to start a donation pool towards a fully working Skype video calling.
I will be the first to donate.
I would like to see it on the ICS (Alpha2) or its off spring.
Good luck,
Developers : please post your interest here, and how you want to proceed
Users: please make your pledges here
thanks

Might be a tough bill to fill as there isnt even a video app available for WebOS. Maybe they just never got around to it, or the hardware just doesnt support it. Even though it was an advertised feature

With its 1.3-megapixel front-facing webcam, TouchPad offers video calling capability.(11)

That or its just more of HP's famous false advertising...you decide.
After searching a bit, looks like it was the same as it was with the Palm Pixi, an advertised feature that didnt exist at launch, but was later introduced in an OS update. I believe WebOS v3.04 gave support for Camera and Video Recording, Making Skype video calls possible. So it is certainty hardware capable. Id imagine as soon as any other ICS ROM gets a working camera, this one will be soon to follow.

I am not a big fan of bounty threads and will close this thread down if people start asking for any money to work on this.
However, if people would like to pledge money that they pledge to donate to a developer after the work is done...so be it.
Just don't start sending donations until you see the goal realized and send your donation directly to the developer. No middlemen or THREAD CLOSED.
OF COURSE XDA has nothing to do with these pledges, and will do nothing to ensure they paid...so user beware.

I've done video calls using my touchpad multiple times using the "Phone and Video Calls" application. You can add your Skype account on there as well.

I dont know what jhayton is talking about but you can certainly make video calls in webOS.
Im sure any progress towards using all of the touchpads capabilities on android are appreciated.

Camera is not working in Android is because of Driver issue...its works great in Webos for taking pictures and skype calling...Cm team is already working on the fix...so is other teams....

Counter Strike : Source ported to Android(Proof of concept, need more work)

Hi everyone,
After suffering a failure with portal 2(snif), I decided to try another game.
I successfully launch Counter Strike : Source on the Shield Tablet.

Bump. Video added.

First post update.

What are you using for recording the screen? I can't see anything like shadow play or something similar.
Not that i don't believe you but a video showing the tablet running it will give a bit more idea.

I'm working on a kernel for our device and dont ave the time to research the porting but can you PM me how exactly you do it? Cheers, I won't ever release anything!

I am a developer myself, I am writing this now as I build a shield tablet kernel....will be releasing that too, but I was just asking how you did it, what the process was, so I could try myself (as a developer) -- it's not that I want an unfinished product and really want you to port&release gmod, I am interested in how you programmed it.
Either way, cheers. Look forward to seeing your thread once development kicks off....it feels super lonely being a shield tab developer because there's like 3 others who all maintain stuff for other devices
---------- Post added at 12:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------
Awesome. Looks like you've streamlined the port and installation, what kind of bugs are you tackling?
Come to think of it, us who are actually building stuff and getting the latest nvidia source and seeing what we can do with it....we should really have a chat or something. Do you have a skype or something maybe we can make a group for the 5 of us?

Wow this is awesome!!! Does this work with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse? Also, I know these ports run on different architectures, but do you think the Shield port could play online against PC users?

Maybe with the unofficial hacked versions of the game on PC. To play with the mainstream game, you need Steam integration
(SteamID, Steamworks, etc....), which is impossible since there is 0 Steam support for Android (Steam app doesn't include support for games).
But LAN should be possible in the long run.
