Hi there
I've seen the works from XDA on getting android working on some HTC...
and i have too say... Lucky bastards!!
Is there hope to see it working on Omnia i8000... and next on the B7610 ?
Maybe some changes in the drivers could do the job
also looking for android to work on i8000
I guess that it's a huge new project, 'cause Omnia II have a totally different processor (Samsung S3C6410) and all other devices XDANDROID supports have Qualcomm MSM chips.

No offence, but if you really like the ...droid so much, why not get a Samsung galaxy instead of the i8000?
I can appreciate, stictly out of experimental interest, why someone would like to run a MacOS on top of Windows. But if somone really likes the Mac so much, why not simply go and get a Mac instead?
Oh well, but then again, it takes all kinds. Some people think it's smart to run win95 on WM....

First of all, i don't own a i8000 but a b7610...
If i could afford a different gadget, i would have an android, an iphone, even a sciphone... but i can't... too bad for me, right
I got the b7610 because it was (and it still is) the most suited for me...
If i can run linux and windows on a single pc, it's the best of both worlds...
The same for windows mobile and android, win 95, whatever OS...
More diversity, more utility, more i can get from my expensive hardware
It has been proved that it can run on the original omnia, and on some HTC's...
So i only ask if is too difficult to port it to omnia II (and Omnia Pro)

I wanna try Android on O2... the reason is that the speed is said to be much better than WM. Yet, I'd to keep my WM OS on when I play games coz I still like my WM games.
Maybe there is a little chance for Android for i8000
Look at this link. This device seems to have hardware (especially CPU) similar to our Omnias

Yeah, it seems to be most of the some hardware, there's a change to see it working.

good news
It looks almost the same like a i8000.
I hope samsung isn't going to put a lot of there junk software in this device so we can pick the rom of this device and put it on our device
also looking for android on samsung b7610. every startup.txt fails on loading the kernel...
i just found a tutorial how to compile a kernel. the tutorial is for i900 but may work by loading other cpu driver or whatever
http://andromnia.net/wiki/docs/howto_build_linux_kernel
well over @ modaca, i today dl'ed almar's android,for i800,
and it worked, it booted up after a few tries, but nothing is functional...
no radio, no wifi, no Bt, etc.
and no real performance either
i think we'll never get android working as good on Xperia x1 or touch pro2..
I have heard that some guys managed to port Android 3.0, better known as Honeycomb, to the G1, HTC Magic and to the Nexus One.
This are of course very beta versions, but the phones boot with it.
So, I wonder if someone could port 3.0 to our Xperia?
The HTC Magic and G1 were the first phones with Android, so our Xperia must be much better than them and, theoratically, it could work on it with just fewer lags than on the G1.
There are so many 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs available for our Xperia, so why not try to port 3.0?
If you think this is a stupid thread, just remove it, but I just wanted to know it.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
USE SEARCH FEATURE ON XDA AND YOU WILL FIND IT. Don't be lazy
You must be new here!
you will get burned at the stake by the guys here for opening such thread xD we are struggling to get a 100% bugless working android 2.2 and you bringing up android 3.0 which is meant for tablets with big screens xD lol
Edit : also such question is not meant to be in the dev section....
It was just a noob question...I also said that the versions for Nexus One, G1 and Magic are very beta versions.
There used to be an early version of Honeycomb somewhere here but the project has been abandoned. And no wonder - our kernel cannot even run Gingerbread without bugs, not to mention higher versions...
Even the kernel supports it, maybe phone will be too much laggy, as the HoneyComb suggests the need of 1.0Ghz processor, that is not our Case
So why they can run it on G1?
Does it have an unlocked bootloader, so you can flash a custom kernel?

Probably yes, Xperia stills locked and cannot boot custom kernels
Some dev are trying to make the bootloader bypass, but is not easy. :/

not easy and i think they already gave up
Graveir and aldee_s are right: someone has already ported it, but development is currently down.
here is the thread to it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982384&highlight=honeycomb
Blagus was disappointed with that, the only one that i saw making some progress was maxfron, but I didn´t saw him anymore
That had it ported but far to laggy m8 r CPU 2 slow at the min but I think I may still have that download ill cheack for u and upload it if so
my civic
Is because our phone is not ARMv7 & above and the processor speed is not super fast..if u port it into x8 it will buggy & lags in all of the function
Lets wait for 2. 4 but google need so much time : #

There are already a few phones with Android 2.4 (not for sale, but someone somehow managed to get some)
Here is a youtube video, where you can see Xperia arc running 2.4:

You can edit this in build.prop?
Do you mean the line:
Code:
ro.build.version.sdk=8
, so you would only have to change the number?
I think new Android will be 4.0 "Ice Cream Sandwich"
Not 2.4

your new here arent ya? hahaha! its not very impossible to port 3.0 in our x8 just wait and see
First of all I am putting this here because i am new and cant post to development so I think it would be a good idea to make a new gingerbread for xperia x10 mini and mini pro now that x10 gingerbread released.Someone could make it exactly the same(if possible)with just few optimisations so that flash could work etc...
Its harder than you think, it may very well be possible, but it requires a port that would be much the same as the arc port to the x10 its from an xperia model, but it wont run on other models perfectly. You most likely wont have camera support above vga, and it will likely always be full of bugs. The current x10 mini roms with gb and froyo are going to be no different than the new x10 gb running on the mini.

Pretty sure there are problems with hardware as well (the X10 mini etc have a 600mhz processor i think? Ram might be an issue too)
I'm sure if it can be done there will be a dev somewhere who will.
Also, i think there is a X10 mini forum, this probably belongs in there.
And finally - Wooooh! 10 posts, dev forum here i go. I know the pain man... The only things of any "real" value i have to add were in teh dev forums...
And in unrelated news, i still cant post to the dev forums, maybe it needs to update something, or you need > 10 posts...
Hello everyone.
I saw here on XDA forum that have been ported many OS to HTC HD2: WP6, WP7, Linux, Android, etc.
According to what I could check, the hardware of the HTC HD2 is quite similar to the Xperia X10 - same processor, chipset and GPU.
I know that is not an easy job porting an OS, but it would be interesting to see running Mango on a X10... at least I find it interesting.
Maybe some cheff interested in this challenge.
Some info links:
XDA - HTC HD2 Forum
Comparison between X10 and HD2.
Linux porting to X10: BackTrack and Ubuntu
Until bootloader is unlocked, you can't do anything. About ubuntu can port to X10, it's because Android is a part of linux, base on it, and kernel is linux too.

True. Even if we could unlock the bootloader, it would be incredibly hard work trying to port other operating systems to the x10.

to add what the others have said; while the x10 and hd2 are similar, there are circumstances that make it more difficult to port wp7 to the x10.
I might be a little off, but i hope the general idea gets through my piss poor way of explaining things, lol. The HD2 came with WM6.5 and the drivers for WP7 are similar enough that porting WP7 was much easier. In regards to Android, HTC sold an Android version of the HD2 so that huge amount of work (drivers) had already been done.
While the X10 has a similar chipset, cpu, gpu; it has a different radio, digitizer, screen, screen resolution, bootloader process, proximity sensor, speaker interface, accelerometer, gps (maybe), camera and who knows what else? And considering that most of SE's differences haven't been used in windows mobile before, it would be hard to find compatible drivers - writing the drivers would be even harder.
Kinda OT... it may be possible to port WebOS to the X10. I bought an HP touchpad and while I haven't received it yet, i've read that the kernel in it is pretty much Android ready. Parts of WebOS would need to be rewritten in order to use the correct drivers. But then again, I've yet to look at it in depth yet.
As we know Ubuntu Phone OS was anounced in CES 2013..

What do you guys think of it? Do you like it? Yes? No? And the most important question.. Could we have some hopes to see it on DHD? And would you like to use it on your DHD?
I would absolutely line to see this on the desire hd. Sadly thought desire hd doesn't really meet the requirements for it

Never say never..=)
I'd like to see Ubuntu become available for the DHD. I'd definitely enjoy playing around with it. If Ubuntu for the PC could have easily run Adobe apps (out of the box) I would probably have been using it at home for the past few years. Would love to see it on our phones. It would help to breathe new life into the trusty DHD, if indeed the DHD can run it smoothly enough.

Yeah the DHD doesn't reach the requirements but the never stoped developers for working hard and making it work. For Example " HTC HD2 "

Canonical announced that the new Ubuntu OS would be available in two kinds of phones, one at the entry level and the other one called “High-end superphone."
The hardware requirements are quite acceptable. The Entry level Ubuntu smartphone needs to have at least a 1Ghz Cortex A9 (single core as the bare minimum), 512MB or 1GB memory, a 4-8GB eMMC + SD for storage, and Multi-touch capability.
The high-end Ubuntu "superphone" is a little more demanding and will need at least Quad-core A9 or Intel Atom processors, minimum 1GB for memory, minimum 32GB eMMC + SD for storage, and Multi-touch.
The difference between the two models will consist in what Canonical calls “Desktop convergence.” With the help of a dock and a monitor, the high-end Ubuntu "superphone" can be turned into a thin client for Ubuntu.

despite the fact that QSD8255 architecture is simliar to Cortex A8, it easily reaches 1.5-1.7Ghz and with 700MB RAM it should be well above the minimum requirements, so performance shouldn't be an issue in any way..... Let's hope devs will succeed in integrating A8 based CPUs drivers.
I doubt, that it will be usefull. Just think about all the apps that support sharing with other OS and the SaaS through browsers. no need for DHD ubuntu here.
Ubuntu is a hell ride on desktop due to Unity. Hope it becomes joy ride on mobile phone.
Ahem
I do believe that Ubuntu stated
Our phones will use the same drivers that Android use

I do hope I remember this correctly or that I didn't dream this up.
Hopefully, if I did remember, this means that we will not need to tinker with Ubuntu too much just to get it running

The new version has been designed to work on last and current-generation Android handsets which share the Linux kernel. This means Ubuntu can re-use existing software drivers to control the hardware.

that would be so awesome :good: .. lets hope someone will port the os to DHD
i really hope that this gets ported to our devices, and also i hope itl be ram-friendly, not like ubuntu on desktop pc's...
wow!
I'm waiting for a long time this rom ... hope that will be optimized for our phone and that is not too heavy to run

Hey,
I think one of the main problem will be the disk space because I think it will be impossible to run a dual dual on a acceptable speed. But as on every OS, the apps will decide.
Anyway, it will be nice to see some players on the field of the market
I think Ubuntu Phone OS will work with DHD. Its Linux Kernel, Linux OS. Its would be great when they release the source code.
Just remember HTC Said about the Sense 4.0 it will not work correctly on the DHD, it will lag. Now the DHD has Sense 4.1, we also have jellybean and icecream sandwich.
For the DHD there is no such word as can't.
I think it would take a long time to port Ubuntu to DHD
