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,

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!

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.

We need haret for the images as well.

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...)

sigh sob!
Now I'm searching for some fresh news.
Stay tuned!

uhmm reading somewhere in the group I found this post:

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.. :-/

Hi there,
basically these are great news!!!

....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..

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).
Other information can be found on this site

Assalamu 3laykom
i had the exact same problem with all SQUASHED builds !!
these ROMS use a program called squashfs to compress the system file to fit on 512 MB ROM EU LEO
all Desire HD builds are huge and take a lot of space so that is why the use this compression method !! or you wouldn't even have Desire HD builds on 512 EU LEO
now that you know what Squashfs is !!
it time you know the side effects !!
it makes the Squashed part of the system READ ONLY !!
so what that means is that you can't edit, modify or delete any of the files inside it !!
and to get Arabic support you have to modify some of "LIB" files inside the system partition ..
now if you want to do this you have to use linux to unpack the Squashed.sqsh and modify it with Arabic support and then resquash it ..
i already asked here on the forums and got many answers but none of them worked for me .. you can check my question thread here
best of luck to you

Hi,
I have recently ported PostmarketOS with the help of the developers of the os. It is an initial port, so only display, touchscreen and charging work. 3D acceleration seems to be broken for now, same as other things such as wifi and stuff. The only tested UI for now is xfce4, as it can run on the framebuffer. If someone is willing to help with the port, it would be great For now I'll try to make wifi and bluetooth work.
Here is the link to the device page on the pmOS wiki, flashing instructions are also there : https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/HTC_HD2_(htc-leo))
Update : wifi works now too

Hi Dominduchami, thanks for your work.
Here is the link with the bracket on the end
https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/HTC_HD2_(htc-leo)
Is there a download link there?
@Robbie P Hi. There isn't really any download link, but in the link to the wiki there's an installation guide. You'll just have to install pmbootstrap and follow the instructions there. If there is a need for it, I can also make an image of the sd card with the rootfs, but I think it wouldn't be really practical, because alpine linux is updated all the time

Hi.
Sorry for the late reply. I'm not really working on it right now and I don't plan on doing anything with it in the near future. If you want to work on it however, I can give you some advice on how to set up the environment and such, if you want. The things that probably can be also made working are audio and bluetooth, graphics acceleration is afaik not possible in pmos with such old kernel.
Can you upload sd card with rootfs images ? please
