I have noticed one of two of you Vogue guys using my ADB File Explorer on your Android ports and coming across a couple of problems. I have updated the application which should allow for full functionality. This is tested and working, a few small bugs remaining for now I'm focusing on a getting to v1.0 before looking into ports.

The Vogue version is listed under the downloads page.
thank you thank you thank you
thank you
i am one of those who have tried to use your adb file explorer
i will test it right now and let you know how it works
EDIT
tested and worked i was able to see my phone and all its files as soon as i plugged it in
i was able to transfer a music file into the mymusic on the sdcard
however i noticed that the list of music files on the phone was not a complete list it started at M- z and even after refreshing many times the list was the same
even after i transferred the "test.mp3" i had to check the on the phone because the list of music on the adb file explorer did not change
over all works well but a few things to fix
thank you with all this work being done on the vogue i may never have to buy an android phone
sorry posted in the wrong forum

Thanks for testing.
I've not come across this bug before, it may be specific only to the Vogue so unless I get bug reports for official Android phones then I won't be doing anything further for ports until the program is at version 1.0.
If you use ADB via the command line, do you still get this problem('adb shell busybox ls [path]')? Are you using the latest version of busybox on your port?
Those would be the first things I'd check.
The file listing should automatically update once the transfer is complete, currently there is no status bar or anything so you'll just have to wait it out. I'll add a status bar if I can find a way to output progress info from ADB.

no big rush to fix the bug just the fact that it works is good for me
as for busybox i couldn't tell you that would better answered by vilord or dzo or any of the developers
Update released, v.0.3.1.
All future versions will be compatible with ports
not working
I cannot for the life of me get my vogue running android 2.0.1. eclair to connect via adb,
the drivers install, and lists in my device manager as an htc dream,
put the adb.exe in my system32, then plugged in, installed drivers, and then run the file explorer, but it says there is no phone connected.
Any ideas?
Hey guys this is important I can't continue this FAQ cause I'm goin back to school in like 4-5 days (sophmore in high school takin ap classes hell yeah!)and I don't even think I will keep my vogue. Well anyway my point is I can't update this FAQ frequently anymore but I give full permission for a copy and paste of all the info I have as long as that person will keep an Android FAQ going and knows what he is doing.
New Builds posted check the google code page (created by Vilord) http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
I just needed to state this because for the past couple days I've been confused with who worked on The clean 1.5 cupcake build that is on the google code page and this is what was on Vilord's Thread
Credits for the kernel (zImage) go to DZO. This kernel is unmodified, it is his latest kernel
Credits for the system image go to many people, haykuro is the original source, then further modified by Vilord to get data, market, and SD card working
The initrd is pretty much all his (Vilord) now, with a radio library from DZO, srwalter, and himself Once again apologies for whoever I didn't list I've read that countless times before but for some reason something didn't click!!
OK so there are a ton of android threads and developers and builds etc. etc. and not really many places to actually help you (besides the Android port help desk but that's just too cluttered and doesn't help you with installing and Vilord's google code page)
The first build I will help with is DZO's he has 2 builds a clean android 1.1 and android 1.5 cupcake and Vilord did most of the 1.5 build so credit goes to him too.(Full credits above) He provides all the necessary files
DZO's Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382265
DZO's download site http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue
Now he was the first person I remember that ported Android and he was the first one I used. The basic files are the default.txt-This tells Haret how to load Android Haret- This is the program that runs the Linux Loader zImage- This is the kernel (I believe that was done by DZO completely correct me if I'm wrong) Initrd- Data.gz- This is where your data is stored (contacts, settings, etc. etc.) System.img This is the actual system that starts I can't describe it better than saying it is kinda like the windows folder on your phone. All Android Builds need these files to work. The only one that isn't required is Data.gz (Haret will automatically create this if you don't have it)
So the first step is to obviously download all the necessary files many are scattered but if your new I would go with the 1.5 complete zip that can be found on this google code page (DZO links off to this too) http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
You must then edit your default.txt to suit your device (and preferences) first thing you will want to do is change the panel type I don't remember off the top of my head what each panel type is (1 2 3) but I suggest trial and error. If you get a white screen while booting Android you must change the panel type. Next you want to input your username and password for data to work sometimes you don't need to do this (I never changed mine and data works fine). Lastly if you want you can change the resolution default is 320 x428 that's fine it's totally up to you.
Here's my default.txt for my vogue "[email protected] ppp.password=telecom mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160 msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htcvogue.panel_type=0 no_console_suspend"
boot There are some other things you can change but I wouldn't if you're new to Android. After you edit the default.txt your next step is to copy all the files to your sd card and they MUST be in the root of your sd card NOT in a subfolder. Also if you would like to have android programs you need to make a new folder on the root of the sd card that is named exactly like this (caps and all) AndroidApps and you find android APK Files (for instance Anycut.apk) and copy them to the AndroidApps folder I will post a few of my apk files later The last thing to do is to boot into Android!!!! To do this in windows mobile you go to file explorer and on the root of you sd card you run the program Haret and press run (assuming you left the name of Default.txt the same if not put in the name) Then Haret will start a Linux Loader some builds take a few minutes so BE PATIENT after it boots just go through setup and you have Android setup!!! For some builds in order to get Data working (I never had to do this but some have) before you run Haret you start a data connection (clicking on internet explorer will do the trick)and leave the data connection open while you run Haret. I don't think there is a build that has Bluetooth working yet (although I believe it's coming soon) and obviously wi-fi doesn't work because our vogues don't have Wi-fi. Different builds have different things working/ not working so check the builds.
If you guys can't tell yes i'm a noob (i don't know everything) but I will still try and help
Mssmison's
New Rogers Build, Skinned build, and Hero (and lite) builds posted setting it up is virtually the same so I don't really feel the need to write about it and once again excellent builds pretty stable (especially the rogers, and skinned builds
*For any build you need the files listed above for Android to work)
Mssmison's Thread http://tinyurl.com/nzhj53
Mssmison's mediafire folder http://tinyurl.com/mzgx3q
Mssmison's builds are the next ones I want to help with because many people are having problems with his Hero builds.
First off Mssmison has three main builds (they expand into later versions though) The Hero build (if you're not familiar with the Hero it's a new phone made by HTC that is set to debut here in the US in October http://tinyurl.com/kln4ke) the part people love about this phone is the senseui which is touchflo for Android and the various Hero builds focus on porting the senseui to our vogues. The next build is his rogers build and lastly the Hero skinned themes (cupcake build but skinned to look like the hero doesn't have touchflo though).
The Hero Build-It's very nice and definitely appeals to the eye however all builds (not the faults of mssmison, zenulator, etc.) are pretty slow on our phones. Mssmison gives you two files the system.img and the initrd you need both files and you simply rename the system file (the latest one is named hero251.img) to "system" (w/o quotes) and replace the files on your sd card with these two new ones from mssmison's mediafire folder. Once again you still need he files listed above default.txt, Haret, and Zimage you can download these on the google code page. This part is important open your default.txt and edit the resolution and lcd density I don't believe that any default.txt has a lcd.density string yet so just add it right after the resolution and also change the resolution to 320x480 if you don't do this the Hero splash screen will just keep looping. Basically replace "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=428" with "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160" (w/o quotes)*As pointed out by JaredaKelly you shouldn't copy and paste because that will break the string so enter it manually* Mssmison's newer builds (2.0 and up) don't require a data file so you can just delete that if you have it. Now the key with this build is PATIENCE after you have finished following the instructions above you start Haret (its supposed to be on the root of your sd card if you followed the FAQ) ********It will take a little while to get to the Hero splash screen so be patient while it runs and creates a data file. When it does get to the Hero splash screen and the animation runs through it will take about 3-4 mins. so again be patient. When it finally boots up you will get a force close/wait screen click wait for however many there are until there is a force close only screen DON'T press force close yet wait (usually another 3-4 mins. could take longer though) for the language options come up (wake your phone up and unlock it if it falls asleep). After you see the language options behind the force close then you can hit force close and go through the setup after you go through it it will seem like it freezes (I think it's location consent) don't click like mad all around the screen just wait and it will reboot Android (not windows) and then it will start to load touchflo like I said wait it takes a while and when it finally does your done and you can now boot into The Hero build of Android!****** If you would rather it be faster on the home screen open the menu (volume slider down) and click settings>applications>manage Application>scroll down to touchflo and click it then press clear defaults. Then go back to the home (press the power button on top of the phone) and it will ask you for some default thing just click the check box on the bottom and press home and you won't have all the nice new widgets but you'll still have the nice new apps and hero splash screen etc. etc. and it will be way faster. Now there is a hero lite version if you want it just follow the instructions above (includinig disabling touchflo) and download the Hero lite version rename it to system and overwrite the old one on your sd card and you will be done!
New Hero Builds by mssmison posted on the google code page he gives you a data file so it loads wayyyyyyyy faster so if you have his newest build don't worry about the part in red http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
Next Mssmison Build I wanted to help with is his Rogers build I must say this build is very well done and one of the fastest I've ever seen. Basically it's kind of like Hero getting setup except like 50 times faster what you do is (once again assuming you have followed the FAQ and have these files listed above) go to mssmison's mediafire folder and obviously download the (you MUST use both of mssmison's files!!!)Rogers build and initrd rename the system file (the most recent is named Rogers2.0) just "system" (w/o quotes) and replace the 2 files on your sd card with the two Rogers build files then just like you do in the hero build open your default.txt and edit the resolution and lcd density I don't believe that any default.txt has a lcd.density string yet so just add it right after the resolution and also change the resolution to 320x480. Basically replace "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=428" with "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160" (w/o quotes) I believe it is always better to start with a new data file when you try a new build so just delete your old data file and run Haret after it calls up the linux loader it will make a new data file and all you have to do is wait for the setup (like I said faster than hero) and there you go Mssmison's Rogers Build!!!
Hero Skinned Cupcake Build- This is one of my personal favorites I love the skin and it's a fast build. So first download the cupcake build from mssmison's mediafire folder*His newer builds are hereat the google code page After you download it (it's only one system file) rename it to "system" (w/o quotes) unlike the other two builds you can use any initrd you want (For the 10th time assuming you have followed the FAQ and have these files listed above) I just use the one on the google code page copy the file to the sd card and another thing you don't have to do is mess with the default.txt resolution I just leave mine at 320x428 because in my opinion I think it looks better but you can change it to whatever you want mine looks like this "mddi.width=320 mddi.height=428" (w/o quotes). After all is copied just boot up Haret (use any data file you want or use no data file because Haret will make one for you it doesn't matter) wait ouot the Linux Loader and you're presented with the setup screen and Ta-Da!! Mssmison's Hero themed cupcake Build!!
New Palm Pre Skin build!
Step 1: Make sure you have all the files listed above, if not download the cupcake 1.5 bundle from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/ and put them on the root of your sd card
Step 2: Edit your default.txt (for more info look at previous posts)
*I put mine at 320x480 and it worked I'm not sure if it'll work with different resolutions (I would imagine so)
Step 3: Download the Palm Pre theme system.img from http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/ rename to "system" (w/o quotes) and overwrite the old system on your sd card
Step 4: Boot into Haret with File Explorer (or similar) and go through setup (unless you have your own data file)
Then your done!
UPDATE Mssmison posted a new file on the google code page rename it to system and follow these same steps Also Mssmison is now going to start posting on the Google code Page now so expect his builds to be there from now on

You can also find his builds here http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/
Zenulator's google code page http://code.google.com/p/vogue-hero/
Hero Build-This is personally my favorite Hero Build (and it's actually useable) it's very fast sleek and nice.
Step1: Download the Hero Bundle from the pages above
Step2: Copy them to the root of the sd card
*You could use your own data file but I prefer not to*
Step3: Edit the Default.txt you only need to change the panel type and the resolution to 320x480
Step4:Boot into Haret with File Explorer (or similar)
Step5: Go through the setup and you may get a wait/force close screen at bootup but just press wait and there you go Zenulator's Hero Build!!!
Forgot to mention the keys are remapped the volume sliders actually control volume! The power button is the menu the d-pad and middle button are the same and the side camera button is back while the end button is still power collapse If you want to have a home button goto App drawer>spare parts>End button behavior>click home,then sleep now when you press the end button it will take you home if you press it at the home it will goto sleep mode
P.S. The only things are switches for mobile and GPS and a clock. add more by pressing and holding a blank area on the home screen and select HTC or Android Widgets and to delete widgets press and hold the item then drag them to the bottom

I don't know how important this is,
But today I discovered you can turn the volume up and down by holding the camera button and the volume up/down.
It works, and its so convenient.

whew, many many thanks for that one mate.
how do you become a root user? also is there any way to reset the phone instead of just powering off?
I posted this in the Polaris thread to help users who were having problems getting the hero builds to boot:
I now have all the hero builds working.
Instructions:
Download zenulators hero-black build here
Connect to data in WinMo. (dont know if necessary but it might help with data issues).
Unpack to sd card and run.. no data image.. let it create one. it takes at least 10 mins to get to the lock screen.. dont touch anything even when the lock screen comes up .. clck wait on all the forced close boxes until it settles down. Add apn settings, connect modem and skip sign into google as this hasnt worked for me yet. Wait for it to become steady and the digital clock is on the screen then power off.
reboot and backup your newly created data image, you'll use this now for all these builds.
copy the hero image lite or full and run.. it should boot straight into Android.. enjoy the new touch flo.. realise its completely unusable but that you just had to see it anyway (even though you already knew that ) and then switch to the more usable lite version by copying the lite system image and renaiming it.
Good luck

keep up the good work, i swiped my whole sd card and im restarting with your instructions but using the lite build... hope this works =]
Just FYI not all vogues use a board panel type of 0. Many sprint vogues, for instance, use 3. Trial and error until it works for those starting out.

Well yeah that's why I said if you get a white flashing screen to change it I remember DZO saying he used 3 thanks for making it clearer to people
Good Idea
I guess the android ports are getting more action than the WinMo roms.
If you can keep this together it will be a great help to the community.

Well actually you shouldn't have zero for the panel type, it means "don't power down the panel" but is not recommended because it messes up the vsync sometimes and will use more power than the others when the panel is off. Tell people to try 1,2 and 3 until it works.
good ^^d f f
Maybe we should ask the hosts of this website if we can get our own thread for Android Ports in general. There are so many people that dont know that Android can be ported to different devices. If we had our own section, the porting scene would skyrocket and things would come along quicker with more developers on board.
Fist question: Downloaded the app AndNav for gps navigation... it is a folder eith no .apk file. I have AppInstaller but how do I install this program?
Nest question: Using zenulator's Hero build, what can you do as far as syncing with a PC? It has HTCsync or whatever, does it work? I will plug it in and give it a shot.

Hi All!
I don't have Omnia II or other Windows mobile, I have Samsung Jét S8003 with Dual Boot (Android)
GT-I8000 Eclair, Froyo and GingerBread 2.3.4 test GB works in Jét
I edited GT-I8000 Froyo and GingerBread for Jét and works normall.. WiFi cant get to work because with libhardware_legacy.so for JetDroid I get the pid exited text to Boot Loop!
So If anybody want test that does JetDroid ROMS work in Omnia, then add omnia init files leave JetDroid init + add Omnia zImage
add to /system/usr/ <--- omnia qwerty.kl
maybe them works or if not work then add missing files from omnia ROM "merge all" "skip all"
P.S. It's your own risk if you brick your phone!
I don't know can you brick your omnia if your omnia have dual boot loader..?
my ROMS for JetDroid: http://code.google.com/p/android-for-jet/downloads/list
these ROMs can be good for Omnia too! TEST if you want!
and give me the star in code.google if you like my ROMS
P.S. click thanks if this post helped you or something like that... Thnx
i had tried it, it do not work,
i do not know if i need to add 2d3d?
it stop before it enter picture of android.
OK, you don't need 2D/3D modules or other 3D files because it have them!
I have many different ROMs from many other phones test other examble: Samsung Omnia II GingerBread 2.3.4 GB test, it is maybe fast because it using JetDroid files + Samsung omnia II files + samung omnia II init.rc and and sbin folder + init file...
So, the 2.3.4 need to work and it needs to be faster than the version from 2.3.4 GB TEST developer!
only maybe you need to add GT-I8000 Omnia II android WiFi folder to get WiFi to work? + maybe Omnia II dhd.ko to modules folder in lib folder!
i tried two times, it is like to lake init file that it need, tonight i will tell you.
OK
add all from I8000 gingebread ROM but not system folder
https://sourceforge.net/projects/gingerbread234/
1/ i add all file that you tell. it say :cannot execve /system/bin/akmd, dbus-deamon ,keystore.
2/ copy all "system" into it , but say tty cannot ....
i don't know how to do
i tried beta2, still is 1/ question!!
do you add "netd", "dbus-deamon", "mount.sh", "keystore" into beta2?
and it seem to lake "bin/bash"
I don't know what I added..
I added missing files from JetDroid GingerBread 2.3.3...
+ I replaced the usr folder to get buttons to work...
and if the GingerBread 2.3.4 have boot folder then remove it, because it is for
Android ROM which have zImage which have wrong calibration... So Omnia II don't need it if it's use Omnia II GingerBread 2.3.4 zImage..
+ maybe I added JetDroid WiFi text to init.rc which maybe works in omnia phones!
hi, good new!!
i removed the boot folder, run it , it is very great and fast. i can setting chinese.
it is some little question:
1 can not connect net, lake net file.
2 when point menu, the screen flask.
can i post it to www.modaco.com ?
OK, good!
To get Wifi to work you need to add dhcbcd folder + wifi folder to etc...
and libhardware_legacy.so to lib folder (REPLACE)
to get screen to work fine add Omnia II GingerBread 2.3.4 egl files...
now it needs to work!
have fun!
hi, bluetooth can not use, it does not reach ! wifi too,
i can not call you too, it's fm radiodoes not work!
scs file has question, often appear a window that i need close,
and download your rom so slow,
it spend time more than i try !!
hmm... add Omnia modules and remove modules from /system/lib/modules
Bluetooth: add omnia Bluetooth files from 2.3.4 (I added Bluetooth files from Omnia II, htc and maybe from spica too and JetDroid don't have working Bluetooth so I cant help really much with bluetooth... :/
csc folder is maybe from Omnia II Eclair Beta2 so you can remove it!
If omnia II 2.3.4 don't have modules folder in lib folder then you can remove it and add omnia II hw folder (replace) to get sensors to work in omnia...
P.S. I don't know which all works in Omnia II GB test 2.3.4 and which all works on my edited ROM: Omnia II 2.3.4 ....
because I don't have Omnia, I have Samsung Jét which looks like same as omnia but it's not same!
if call features/other features not work then you need to ask help from Omnia Android Developers!

I didn't answer this earlier because I didn't notice this and my friend was here so I replied fast!
i tried that you told me, but it is fail ,appear 1/ question.
how to do
OK, better is if you do it like this: Download Omnia II Android GingerBread 2.3.4 GB test and then download my 2.3.4 and add Omnia II Android GingerBread 2.3.4 GB test to ext3/2/4 which you use!
and now copy and paste my edited 2.3.4 system folder and now you select "merge all" and now "skip all"
Done!
+ check which all woks in Omnia II Android GingerBread 2.3.4 GB test
and does something more work with my edited omnia II 2.3.4 ...
=)
i tried result: 2.3.4 bate2 in SD
1/ no sound: i tried mp3 and alarm ,but is fail. but alarm time can settings
2/ can rotate

i download gb to ext4,and copy system folder, there are some file that its are copied? sometimes can boot, but two times can not boot!
do some files need copy?
Hi All, I have searched but not found an explaination thats clear to me.... here goes.
Ideos X5, mine, updated with GB from Huewai site - beta version, works great!!! beter battery, faster wireless etc... update when flawlessly using instructions included in the update file.
Tried to update my friends ideos x5 exactly the same but a white one, and first stage loading the update went fine but then when it restarted it to load 2nd update file, - the 1k one, it just goes to pink screen. Obviously not seeing the sdcard...
Its not bricked because it seems to work fine... just appears to be missing some apps like the wireless/bluettoth/gps switcher that appears on mine when i pul down the notification screen, also maps says it has an error , and he does not have the 'beyond the sky' theme.... and only default keyboard laylout that pretty much sucks.
Now - the question is - can i remove the sd card from my phone, put it in pink screen mode and copy the image folder to my pc then copy it out to his phone? will that work?
I can't seem to flash it agian as it appears to not see the sdcard in flash mode hence why it goes to pink screen mode.
What phone model do you have? Which version of rom (from which thread) did you download?
Probably you need to do a downgrade. You have a thread for that.
It was the update from the manufacturers web site as I stated above - the beta vresion of gingerbread, Ideos X5 U8800 is the model of phone, not the pro version.
As I sid it appears to be running GB and the 'about phone' screen confirms this, just the apps are not all there and the boot up is different, looks like its loading frodo intially with the IDEOS logo then an android title appears, then it loads up to the gb lock screen.
Use the update from this thread (B518): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
It has only one step (2 steps are joined into one) and work fine
Edit: You can try using internal SD if it doesnt detect external... btw: Do you have fast bot turned off?
thanks fo ryur reply, but it did not help, this is the same version we used to get where we are at now.... it is two step upgrade, the last update file is 1k and has all the settings and apps config... or so it seems.
We have managed to get the update to complete, but there is one strange side effect, the internal sd only has 6 or 7 folders whereas my phone I upgraded 2 weeks ago has lots... I wonder if its write protected it or something.
to get round the "unable to see external sd" after running first update file - hence unable to load second file - by connecting to computer and replacing the imgage folder on the internal sd card with the ones from my phone. On restarting it imediately found external sd and the dload folder and completed its update.
Can some one explain why this worked? I don't understand why it did, but would like to.
Hi - please bear with me as i am not the greatest techie on earth.
I wan't to update my p-9 lite to nougat eventually- since i appear to be last in line for the official.
Why ? because i have diabete type 1 and use an app to communicate with my NFC based clucose monitoring system. In nougat i can turn off the sound which is higly annoying and very shrill.
I have a L31c432B104
So - seeing that i have googled my self blue and black it seem that i cant go directly.
So on here i found a thread saying that going to 151 would be safe- and so i hoped that from there i could work my way "upwards"
I got firmware finder from team mt - and the fun begins.
Got it on the pc- downloaded. created folder on sd card, transferred and so on- and it would not accept the update on startup.
So deleted and started over - this time via the phone and app
Found the file via the app, downloaded and restarted my phone with vol+, vol- and the on button.
It got to 5 %, stayed there for a while and then went on to my "desktop" i thougth i was fine to go. NO:::::: still on 104 according to phone.
The files are there somwhere, as i can se i have gained 1,7 GB in the internal storage.
How to proceed from here ? can't seem to find any guides to the program that makes any sense.
Anyone able to help ? getting quite annoyed and have so far spent quite some time getting nowhere but frustrated.
and my mom who doesn't care or need it got it 3 weeks ago on her somwhat never p9-lite UGH
