[Q] Nokia N9 - HD2 MeeGo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and General

Hey guys, I saw the announcement of the N9, and it looks great. Do you think it will be possible to port MeeGo from it to our HD2s?

That's what Steve has pointed to in a recent tweet. Since the build he was running was based on the source wasn't really that good, he was actually waiting for the N9 to be released

Brilliant, thanks for telling me!
I look forward to what Steve can do with the release!

There is another guy called WeeZel working on that thing too,
the project called "WeeG0", he said once he accomplish something he will be posting it here in XDA-Dev.

I will make sure to look out for WeeZel too!
Thanks for letting me know!

My friend has the N950, which is a MeeGo developer phone,
I asked for a ROM dump and I might be getting it on Friday when he has some free time.

say could you give me a copy of the rom dump as well. Just want to play around with it to see if all this excitement is worth it. Is it alright if i pm you?

Hope the MeeGo dream come true. Bored of microsoft OSes, bored of Froyo/Ginger, give us our shot! Thx to those guys who they are really skillful in developing and porting all these OSes to Leo & thx to the htc team who created The Beast. HD2 is a legend. MeeGoGoGo!!!

Hello, any new news about port on HD2 or some other Android Phone´s?

update on this? the n9 is in sale since two weeks. I'd love to have MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan on my HTC Desire

Firmware Download
Hey guys and girls, i bought a Nokia N9 64GB this week and Meego/Meemo is fantastic, it has its little querks, but im sure i can change them.
Anyways, i dont know if this is what people where wanting in terms of a ROM dump or a firmware, but if you use the Nokia pheniox service tool you can get the relivent files from their fimeware archive to flash as a last resort

In total its about 1.3GB with 6 files (this is for the unlocked swiss version), if theres a problem i can upload it somewhere for people to download
I hope this will be of some use or if its not, someone will tell me exactly what they are after. Otherwise i dont know if a source code request would be help achive the goal. (My hope is to get more people onboard)
The way i see it, there is alot of talk about the death of meego and yes alot of people have/will jump ship and move onto Intels next attempt, but there is enough fans out there to keep it somewhat going and since Nokia has decided to sell a product, they should support it for at least a year if not two.
I have had a long look at what is avaliable on the Nokia store and the quality of the free apps is outstanding, the paid apps are for the most part in the same boat, but there is a fair few ports of rubbish found on the competing stores asking for your hard earned cash.
err, i dont know else to add, but
Ciao!

Cross Bow for hermes sighted and live pictures

Hi guys,
I got a call and midnight from my friend in Europe somewhere who told me that he is having a hermes in his hand which is running cross bow..now I asked him to take the pics and mail it to me..these are all attached..so I guess the OS exists and our heroes can only get to us..
Cool!
that was great news,,,hope it will be released officialy soon!
Wow!
What a exciting news!
Guys, get ready big socks and wait for our Santa Claus soon!
Can you ask him where he got that ROM from? was it an update? or what it stock?
You need to get a ROM dump from him for us to use!
Cool! Get a rom dump!!
why not a screenshot of his system properties!!

I cant believe it...

The device is ORANGE branded. So, we can expect something from Orange UK soon....
I'ts probably not his own device, i think he attended some trade show or an internal presentation or demonstration of some kind.
Too bad he didn't have Buzz's invisible rom dumper at hand...
Holy Cr&p! Crossbow on a hermes first.... DUH!
I.... must.... have..... this.....
Crossbow for hermes
Could it be the reason why HTC had not released any AKU 3.x upgrade yet?
Gimme !
All I can say is just let those OEM's and other people give it to us before Sinterklaas (dutch Santa) leaves.
Ask the guy to send in this phone we'll buy a new one for him
Encore ! Nog ! Bis ! More !
Surely this is very big news? I hope we can be kept updated on whether a rom can be acquired. I remember the fiasco over WM5 for the Magician... the community went crazy waiting for further news from a number of leads that turned out to lead nowhere.
you know what. i am thinking of buying a hermes instead of buying a universal...
That is very very cool! Hopefully someone can get this for us!
Htc Oficial? Impossible!
Sorry Guy, but HTC is a pain in the ass about Upgrating OS. Just look at the past, THEY NEVER RELEASE A WINDOWS MOBILE CORE VERSION UPGRADE. They just want you to buy a new device... as always.. Mayve someone can grab directly from the device, I will talk tomorow with Microsoft Mobiles BG, maybe He can help us... but HTC? ha ha ha, they are savy
Yet Crossbow apparently exists for the Hermes. At MEDC 2K6, all the M$ engineers were sporting Wizards. The Hermes front camera plays well with M$ 2K7 collaboration plans too so they may be behind the Crossbow development on this hardware. This could trump the Upgrade-hardware-to-obtain-crossbow rationale...
I hear that AKU3.3 will arrive just after christmas for the hermes.
What are your sources?
Don't mean to poop on everyone's parade, but I can take pictures of my PDA running Crossbow, too. There are screenshots of Crossbow available on the web. All I would have to do is download one to my PDA, open the image in Resco Photo viewer, and make the image full screen...
I hope this isn't a fake.

BOUNTY) for first flashable android rom!

okay after doing some hard thinking about my next upgrade and realizing i don't have a ton of money to spend on a real hero phone right now. id love to see one of the devs on here create the first fully functional android rom for our touch vogues. i know i seem to be the one on here who has no luck with most of the builds so far but something keeps bringing me back to android.
so heres the deal, i will offer $50 or more via paypal to the first dev who can make this happen. id like to see others join in and lets make this bounty worthwhile. it would be a ton cheaper for me to just buy another vogue even brand new rather than spend $300 on a hero or other android phone. i may even be willing to donate my old vogue for testing. im also hoping others may join in on this. i see some of the devs have stopped development or will by moving to real android phones. i think the vogue is a solid phone and a rom like this would really keep interest going and the community going strong. hell maybe even xda will give us our own dedicated android section for the vogue if we can do this. also since we have godzon who is very talented at skinning, maybe he can start creating themes we can use on the rom? just a thought but really the possibilities are endless IMO.
so my questions are:
who is up for the challenge?
can this be done legally without google getting upset?
which build should we use as a base? hero, xrom, ion , cupcake or tattoo?
can we root our phones after we create a rom so we can have full potential as a real android phone user?
so i ask you guys to join in with me in making this task/project worthwhile for one of our talented devs on here.
sorry i created another thread on this but lets keep all discussions about this in here from now on.
"forgot to mention, my offer stands until the first week in november. if i don't see any interest or beginning development ill withdraw and cave in and buy a real hero."
thanks, fixxxer

so you up for it zen? im serious here.
wouldn't the tattoo build be the best?
well donut. tattoo still has trouble with force closes on start. some incompatibilities with our ril because of proprietary code. so donut would be a great option once audio gets fully functional. i'm not about to brick my only phone......

well whatever build you guys think would be best. i just thought this would be a great idea for us vogue users. why buy a android phone when we can have fully functional rom on our vogues? then we could work on rooting, themeing and all that good stuff.
what do you think zen, would you be interested in this? would you need a spare vogue to try this out on? i might be willing to donate mine or hopefully someone else will too. im sure i can pick up a spare vogue for cheap.
I like this idea espcially since us Sprint SERO guys don't have a viable Android option to use as of yet.
I'ld paypal $50 for a version that completely ditches WM off the phone and works well. It doesn't matter which version, once someone pioneers the trial others will follow.

+1...i really hope this thread doesn't die and i hope a dev will take this offer up.
Already said this in another thread, but I've got a spare Vogue (blacklisted ESN, I think) and, while I'd like to retain possession of it, I will blindly flash whatever a dev puts out for testing.
fixer you should summarize who all are offering what amounts.
I am willing to offer $20 for this!!
bid
if you can make it work, meaning build a rom based on hero or ion, i am willing to give the person 300, which is more than getting a tmobile plan with the my touch which i also do have, but i dont wanna get rid of my vogue, its been so good to me, i have it on metro, and for some reason market dont work when i am in android. still the bounty from my end will be 300 for a flashable android rom
i'd donate $50 as well..... im a huge fan of Android and would like to see this really happen
Before we go over to make a flashable rom we should look to get all hardware working for 100%. At the moment i think the risk to brick your phone is enormous. We should ask some of the spl people if they could help
I suppose it all depends, do you guys still want to have winmo? If not than it's not too terribly far away. Right now I can make my vogue start to boot the linux kernel, it totally wrecks the winmo everytime though. And there are some challenges to overcome..
Dual boot would be too cool, if ever possible....
were up to $470 right now to the first dev to make this possible.
and to mission....were talking about a fully flashable rom like winmo. i don't really see why this cannot be done with some hard work and teamwork. as i said my offer stands until i can get the hero which may be up to a month away yet.

not really what were talking about here man. right now technically that's what we already have. android/vogue is nothing more than a program, we want a fully working operating system that can be flashed like real android users can. once again i cannot see why we can't make this happen. ive seen a ton of talented devs on here. i wish i could do even half of what they accomplish.

agreed, you devs should get together and discuss this. hell maybe all of you can even split the money. ive posted this thread at a couple other places on the net, im sure the pot will grow.

If one was to flash completely to android would one be able to flash back to winmo later or would that option be wiped away with the pure android flash.
Also we need a bootloader like grub for our phones so that we could install multiple os's and choose which one too boot at startup, although that might be easier to do starting from an android phone.
i think that if you want dual boot and all that junk, stick with a computer.
i would like an flashable android ROM to get rid of winMo for good.
i would donate also if it gets done.

... chat today: ask SE about 2.1/Q4 or froyo

... in a live chat (fireside),
today 20 May 2010 at 1pm (westcoast) close to the google-boyz:
link: code.google.com/events/io/2010/sessions/fireside-chat-android-handset-manufacturers.html
So.. what came of this chat?? Or have I got my timezones wrong and it's not yet happened?? Interested to hear what SE said about keeping up with the O/S releases.
its at 9 pm uk time i think
Google got the wrong link:
h**ps://wave.google.com/wave/waveref/googlewave.com/w+-Xhdu7ZkBK7
It's this and it starts soon !!!
Give the SE guy some questions, because know the htc folks are spamming there ^^
EDIT: now it's correct
Really don't get it.. just looked on the chat site and it looks like it's all questions and no answers! am I missing something?

Google Wave confuses me.

i was thinking, we could have a better chance SE will listen. But this live wave thing is/was a desaster.

I sent this through the se customer support website - i don't know if it's any good...
Hello there - Would it be possible that the Xperia X10 and X10 mini (pro) be upgraded to Android 2.2 Froyo instead of Android 2.1 Eclair by Q4 of this year? There are many new features being added, so by the time we get 2.1, it will be outdated. Froyo also seems to run on the 2.6.29 linux kernel, which the X10 already runs on, so porting that at least should be as difficult as Eclair.
Also,would it be possible for people who own these devices to flash unsigned roms by unlocking the bootloader in some way - like google has done with the nexus one. This would void the warranty of course, but it would people to develop their own roms who have not had the chance to obtain a pre-release or developer phone etc. Maybe they could even test things for you?
Please take this comment seriously - I'll be looking forward to see what you think of this.
Thanks
That's great Hunteron!
Do you think you could somehow get that to this "Bill Maggs" fellow?
This seriously bothers me. We have a phone with what is probably some of the best hardware on the market, but we are stuck with crap software.
This bit interests me though:
"but we are given a promise for extended firmware support for all OS-powered devices in the future."

MeeGo is a full Linux distribution, using X11, so it's very portable. Both Nokia and Intel will be putting a lot of effort into MeeGo to make it perfect for phones and tablets, and it's super slick and multi-touch enabled, etc.
I agree with the rest steve this is how it would most likely play out if you release it now
if you release it now you open many doors to lots of other devs ready to tweak it and improve it just look how far android has come in less than 6 months i mean we have fully functional builds and by different devs each improving in other words if ya notice when mdeejay would release a fix for something no one else could find darkstone would implement it on his next build or vice versa. so by releasing this beta stage of meego you open many opportunities and most likely speed up the process. PLEASE STEVE RELEASE AN ALPHA BUILD WE ALL KNOW WHAT WERE GOING TO EXPECT remember android builds that were extremely unstable? im sure i speak for alot of people
(or atleaste update us with videos on how its going if you dont want to release an alpha build) YOUR STILL THE BEST ive been wanting meego over android for a long time now

ugh i dont have any invites but i want to see it happen for sure!!!
i really want multirom and bcmon also on the oneplus one what else needs to get ported to the oneplus?
Sailfish/MultiROM for the OnePlus One
I'm familiar enough with the process of porting/building SailfishOS that I could probably get it running on the OnePlus One in less than a weekend. The hardware looks similar enough to the Nexus 5 - at least as far as the Qualcomm parts are concerned - that it should be a fairly simple port.
I've been trying to save up for a new phone for a while, but I haven't found one that I like enough to buy at unlocked-phone prices.
Call me cheap, but I felt like I overpaid for my Nexus 4 - which I probably did, because I traded a tablet for it.
I don't tend to develop low-level stuff like this for phones I don't own or at least plan to buy, but I have a long history of "porting" Linux distributions (mainly Debian and non-Unity, "desktop" Ubuntu) to Android phones by modifying the kernel to load the root filesystem from a microSD card, among other things.
Before you get too excited, remember that I may or may not be able to get everything working immediately - just look at how long camera support has been missing from Sailfish on the Nexus 4. On that note, the Sailfish camera HAL is in flux right now, but once it stabilizes, getting the cameras working should be easier.
By the time I get an invite and get around to buying a One, there's bound to be other people working on it, especially if this is as important as I think it is.
TL;DR: In a few weeks I should have money, in another few weeks I should have a device, and shortly after that there should be code.
I'm pretty confident that it should be relatively easy to get the port started, but don't expect miracle-speed progress towards getting all the hardware working.

Hey,
Now we have released N5 I'm moving onto OnePlus, its booting into the Mer bootloader and switching root into SailfishOs rootfs at the moment but no UI yet due to gralloc issues.
Stay tuned.

will the mer bootloader have any conflicts with multirom? also now that I think about it multirom doesnt seem to have support for sailfish... multirom only mentions ubuntu touch and firefox os. I really hope sailfish os can be multibooted! but regardless sailfish os is a sexy beast and I want it even if it is the only rom I can run

They will be removing the invite system from October, unless they delay it.
well i have an OPO now and my friend has a Jolla,
how we both wish we have the other's os ported to our device just for cool geeks thing.
anyways awaiting for some magic on this one.
imagine what a 2.5 pro and 3gb lpddr3 could do to the performance of sailfish, just would be awesome
drooolllllll...

MULTIROM for the Oneplus is a port, the Sailfish support is a reflection of this. You'll need a working image of Sailfish .. AFAIK no-one has made one yet for the Oneplus.
Anyone know if this is being developed?
I would love to see sailfish on the oneplus one. Does anyone know if this is being currently worked on or if there a compatible version out there on the net?
