Hi all,
Just read an artice on the hack of Google's impressive Android mobile OS. Hackers have used files from the emulator and installed the OS on some Linux phones. I was just thinking that there was a post on this forum saying that Linux could be Installed on Magician. Also Android uses Linux's kernal. So why not give Android a try. Would be great to use the new Android on Magician.
Any clues on how to proceed with the Installation ?
Is it really? I listen about porting on only Linux-PDA but Magican isn't Linux-PDA.
Of course, Android can run on the Magician, BUT never forget that you need drivers for the device - even for Linux!
And that's the problem: if you don't have any information about the chipset etc you will need month or even years to develop them.
If you want to run Linux on the Magician, there is already a project which try to develop drivers for Linux. Last time I read from their progress Linux runs on the Magician with the possibility to use the phone (but no GPRS)...
Use the search if you are interested;-)

It is http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician , isn't it?
So If Linux can be installed, then Android can also be installed. Because it supports all Linux compatible devices according to the hack.
For the DRIVER part, pls check the official Android website-
http://code.google.com/android/
and let us know. Waiting for your reply...
Thanks!
Peoples - a hve WORKING linux on my HTC magician.
name is Angstorm with GUi OpenMoko.
Work - tochscreen,Sound,GSM,blootuth.
thet meens - drivers are exist and work
Can anybody say, where i can download Google's Androuid for ANY platform ?
I'm Find =) Android For Zaurus
it seems to me, For using rootfs on magician we mast change drivers in it
http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/static.php?page=ZaurusAndroid
As me say one man, it takes compiling magican's drivers using Google android SDK.
Some useful links

Немного о портировании для OMAP -> http://elinux.org/Android_on_OMAP
Sory for my English =)
does anyone know how to actually download the Android platform? regardless of phone model or drivers? or is it just included in the SDK and you gotta compile it yourself? If I can somehow get my hands on a copy of the image I'll probably end up spending the next 3 weeks trying to flash it natively into the ROM
The Android sources can found on this page: http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list
It is only kernel. Without drivers.
Found a new article for search on "Android on HTC", got this:
Android Kernel Found, Android on HTC Kaiser imminent
It says, that the kernal works only on MSM7200A chipset for now.
Take a look, link: http://fandroid.net/content/android-kernel-found-android-htc-kaiser-imminent
what i cannot understand is:
if there is an working linux kernel (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianXanadux) than android should be executable also!?
All necessary driviers shold be available.
So why should it be impossible to have a running android on a Magician?
cheers
aitsch
p.s.: the Magician is a very fast device. maybe android is running well on it.
UPDATE: Google has released a new version of Android, v0.9
Any updates on running Andriod on Magician ?
I could run Linux (Openmoko) successfully.
yea! Android 1.0 it very good
we need this

Hi all,

Interesting, I'll take a look! What are the bugs you personally notice?
Am I Able To Put Windows CE 7.0 On The Netbook?
It Has Windows CE 6.0 on it now
Bump please help
still need help guys any ideas
If you get your hands on original BSP then sure, you can build CE7 for it. Try talking to original manufacturer, but I doubt he will give you BSP. Not sure if you can go by with having just some other CE7 module and do a bit of hexediting.
If you go to the Windows CE website, you can put the 180 day trial version it. It requires 2 others Windows downloads, but I am about to do it right now. I will let you know how it goes
Hey Guys,
I'm a big Andrid Fan but also a WM 6.5 Fan.
So i want WM 6.5 on the ZTE V9? Is it possible?
And if it's possibel is ther a finished Rom anywhere?
Zhanks for Help
Maggo
PS. I'm a German Guy and not a English professional person!
That's a Chinese Android device try asking in android section might be a start in the right direction
I'll second this question, but mostly talking about emulating Windows Mobile on any Android device. Could something like Haret be made, just emulating our beloved WM? This is the main problem that keeps me from switching to Android
If you write proper drivers, sure .
What do you mean by those drivers, isn't Win Mobile designed to support every resolution and hardware configuration? And, at least theorically, it is possible to create something like that? Sorry if that sounds noob-ish, I just have no knowledge on Android-specified programming
Hello! Very need driver for win 7! all of the links don't work ((( here is the list :

Hi yes the files for this computer seem very fragmented, does anyone have the latest vista/win 7 files for it. they are still selling these machines and its a shame that win 8 development hasnt gone further.
I ahve contact HTC direct to see if i can obtain the driver pack is they do give me them I'll upload, but somehow I doubt it. It would be gratefully appreciated if some has them to hand as I would love to put win 8 on this great little device.
I am also looking for the liberty files to had seen them somewhere on here but still looking.

Hi,
I'm currently in possession of a Windows CE 6.0 based device used for navigation. It's currently non-functional, it will start but it won't boot up Windows nor the navigation software. Is there any 'general' approach of installing a Windows CE 6.0 (based) ROM on such a device? Went through Search but couldn't find anything that matched my needs.
Pictures of the device attached.
Thanks in advance,

I got the same issue, but with a Medion GPS with Windows CE 5 , & don't know how to install Windows CE 6 on it.
It's now like a hard bricked pone, because I can't boot it up now after so much tries and tries with some bad tutorials on the internet.
(That happened to me to don't search it before on XDA and believe in a Youtuber guidance... ¬¬) PLEASE, NEVER DO THIS. IF SOMEONE IS READING HERE, IS BETTER TO WAIT A GOOD ANSWER IN THAT FORUM THAT TRY ANY TUTO OUTSIDE HERE OR ANOTHER PROFESSIONALS FORUMS LIKE THIS.
