Is anyone working on a fix for the quirky touchscreen on WP7ized HD2s?
i dont think any of us can, is it not one that either the DFT team found or made?
if they found it i think we will be out of luck, no one is going to develope a driver for an outdated device like the HD2, hopefully they made it or have the source for it!

As a stalwart Linux user, I am really excited about the prospect of replacing WM on my xda Orbit with Android, but I seem to have reached a dead end in my search for an Artemis version.
I have got Qtopia running, obviously only a barely functional version, but it's given me hope!
Unfortunately, I'm no programmer and I'm afraid I'm stumped. From what I gather, I need to get the Artemis kernel and compile Android for it, but that is beyond my expertise.
I know enough to tantalised by the prospect, I presume the Artemis kernel must exist because Qtopia runs on the phone, and I know that Android is available, so all it needs is for someone to put the two together right?
Is anyone working on this? I can't offer any programming skills, but I'd be more than happy to be a tester.

Why do you think android will perform better ? Because of some magic "google spell" ?
qtopia does not work properly because there are several hardware features not implemented in the kernel.
Ah ok, showing my ignorance there!
So, the problem is that the kernel for the Artemis is incomplete, so no matter what other software gets layered on top of it, certain parts of the hardware can't be accessed?
I guess this is down to HTC not being open about their hardware?
Ok then, I'll rephrase my question, is there any hope of a fully functioning kernel becoming available for the Artemis, and is anyone working on it at the moment?
I have tried some different version for other mobiles but can just come to the red dot moving left to right and back again forever :O

i too am a linux user and been crying out for android. my main reason is the inability of wm6 to sync with linux. (have you spent hours messing around with synce and all the rest of it to no avail as well?)
can i assume that android will talk to linux???
i too have no expertise but would happily devote time to assisting in testng etc.
there are kindred spirits...
any news about android on artemis? i googled for a long but i didnt find anything newer than october 2008...anyone know something?
Does anyone have installed to HP614C a Android2.2 software?
Please advice if this someday will it can be installed and will it be stable?
I have read about the dual boot.
Thank you.
second that!

Yes but there is not answer if this can be done now!
Never heard of Android on 614c. I heard of it successfully run on some HTC devices (Tilt II), but this one is manufactured by a different company, so I don't think it will ever be possible
there is a thread regarding booting aOS on 614c. The memeber who tried (natively, no haret involved) told it is working but most of the functions do not work. I tried to beg him/pm him for boot loader instructions etc to no avail until now. So it is possible as pxa is now supported within android. he told that calls did work but no camera net or wifi was there. I myself would like to test it. actually i think the farthest we can get is 1.6. i think 2.1 demands more resources like 3d and andr 2.2 fixes the speed greatly for 2.1.
Please seniors, do some devel regarding this. if we have an inital rom/howto someone might be interrested in developing it a little further.
Kudos to this board!
here is the first topic regarding this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464998&highlight=android
Also here is my pm with the guy who managed it and told some info and advised us not to bother (tonev)
"Why would you need android there are so many things that don't work, you can't take pictures with the camera, no sound (but you can make calls and you can hear the other person and he can hear you perfectly)"
That's what I really meant... probably you can boot it (I think you can also boot Linux), but a lot of stuff doesn't work, and probably never will because there are no drivers for the hardware. Android development only respects hardware in devices that are *made for* android, so I doubt there'll ever be any drivers for our hardware, especially since it was built by some company that doesn't build any devices anymore. HTC reuses hardware in lots of devices, so there's a higher probability with an HTC device that hardware is supported.
Hi,
Does anyone make some progress on this project?
Thanks!
Hi,
Any update on this?
what do you guys think about starting this? id think it would stimulate rom development for our streaks. id be up for donating. i pitched the idea in the irc chat room hoping for some honest feedback, but i dont think djsteve wanted people stepping on his territory so he banned me from chatting. i was only trying to help! im sorry.
let me clear this up
i banned you as you were attempting to suggest that i am not working on gingerbread (i actually am if you had bothered to look at my twitter the last 2 days) and als osuggesting that all the working i have put into themeing is ugly and useless and tried to say that i shouldn be adding them, to which i told you to do it yourself then when you continued going on about it earned a ban, i never once said anything regarding gingerbread (other than its utter ****e anyway and not useful on the streak imho)
and to prove a point attached a screenie of 2.3 on streak
As Bounty,s never seem to work i will close this thread
i would like to apologize to djsteve. i didnt mean to imply that you werent working on a gingerbread rom, though you are giving me mixed feelings on the subject though with your latest comment. as far as i understood, you wherent planning on a gingerbread rom, and wasnt capable of producing one. i was just trying to get more developers in to help. i dont use twitter and havent seen yours in more 2 days so i didnt know what you where up to. could you just let me know next time without the name calling and bans. if it would help get gingerbread on, i could even donate money to you. i would work on it myself but ive had less than with success on building my own roms.
you can relock this thread, thanks for unlocking so i could apologize. youre a good moderator lufc.
i said i wudn be making a gingerbread rom as the changes required to the touchscreen driver to make it useable would not be worthwhile at that time, but the new alpha kernel dell let me have solves said issue
oh awesome. i just tried to check your twitter. theres so much on there i dont even know how to sort it. >_<
ok ill save you time, attaching the recent 2 pics i posted, the touchscreen driver has needed to be totally rewritten to work on 2.3+ so it would of not been worth my time to hack at previously is all i was meaning
Just curious, with the new touchscreen driver, does this make MIUI, Cyanogenmod, etc much easier to build? The alpha kernel supplies a big piece of the puzzle, correct?
Thanks for all your work. Hopefully it's proving to be rewarding
not really, the new driver only works on 2.3+ builds
At least with MIUI, you dont build it, you hack it. They dont release their sources so any ports to non-supported devices are hacked from the orig files.

Since you said that the new drivers are from an alpha kernel Dell let you have, does that suggest that Dell will continue to support our Streak and maybe even release an official Gingerbread or HoneyComb rom? Or do you think that Dell may supply you with any HoneyComb supported drivers? Also, thanks for all your hard work DJ_Steve.

Anyone check this out yet? Is sense becoming open source?
great find man if thats true that would solve all are problems and no more dredded proprietary drivers lol.
It is a huge leap from petitioning HTC on the bootloader issue to opening the whole thing up. If it iis true HTC is certainly recognizing the value of energy and wealth of info that comes out of communities like this. That can only serve as a good thing.
i believe they are going open source, but the issue that we may run into, is they may only support the newest devices.. which will be cool for when we all switch, but may not help our heros.. everything i have been reading has been mostly with the the 3d and some of the other new devices..
still cool of them though
Is there any possibility that we will see a functional port of honeycomb for our device? maybe if we took the phone portion from ICS or something. I would love to do it if I knew how, but has anyone thought of doing it? I think that It would work pretty well especially seeing that HW acceleration is off buy default and ICS is not. I think it has a better chance of running on our phones. If anyone is thinking of doing this please let me know, orif someone with dev skils can pm me a how to, like what programs and what not as well as a short basic Rom building from source how to should get me started, and I'll figure it out.
maybe this one will help your searching, porting honeycomb works for HD2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978939
