I have a friend who has been quite involved in porting Android to the iPhone. For the most part it's fully functional. A few drivers aren't properly syncing right, Dual booting is fully enabled for both the 2g and 3g versions of the iPhone. If I ever had a tremendious catastrophy happen and I was unable to get hold of a HTC device I guess I'd try it

Android 2.1 from the SDcard

Hi, I have no idea about programming and absolutely clueless about Android devolopement. I have been using x1 before the x10, and there somebody made Android 2.1 which starts off from the SD card. Even if we cannt get the phone rooted can do something like what they have done??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=622
If I sound like an idiot could the mods delete this thread please.

I believe that the X1 is WM6.5 ?
I don't think that Android and WM Devices have the same methods to root a phone...

I understood that he thinks that it may be possible to put 2.1 on the X10 with the X1 SD card method. And I answered that those 2 phones ave different OS, so for me it's not possible... that's all...

Ask jerpelea. He is a master chef and I saw him on this forum recently. I'm gonna try his x1 eclair port tonight but I'm willing to bet its great (just like everything he's made that I've used)

I thought we might be able RUN Android 2.1 from SD card just like we did in X1. I know that would not be a ROM and probably we would waste RAM too, but we might have the 2.1 anyway. In X1 they had lot of problems with drivers and everything (stuffs I don't understand ) but this is already an ANdroid phone, so drivers shouldn't be the problem (also because we already have the X10 ROM). Moreover we don't even need to map any keyboard, like we had to do in X1, cuz it has no keyboard

Theres no haret on linux..though as root you could have your system or data partition on the sdcard with no problems,just modifying the initrd..
And run windows 95 emulated too

Who is Haret??
just kidding, so I guess the answer is no not possible.
(now is the time for someone to say WAIT THERE MIGHT BE A WAY).

Ok so nobody said "wait a minute ..... we can do this...". Fine I will say it myself.
Wait a minute I think this could be done. See if we put DOSbox (win 3.1) as an app then start the haret from SD. And then we can get even Android 2.2.
So who knows how to do it??

So you are saying to run android 2.x on top of dosbox which is on top of android 1.6?

DosBox to run 2.2 is a BAD idea sorry...
You can maybe boot 2.2 but the performance on dosbox is realy crappy.
Another ting, will the camera work, sound, gps, 3G, mic? +++
And the last thing i think dosbox is only read-only.
Try it and give us feedback. Maybe we can use it GL

Just my 2 cent:
Dosbox would only be needed to START booting linux, so the linux image then shoud run natively. A performance problem should not exist.
On my X1 haret.exe was only used to pass over control to the booting process. afterwards WiMo 6.5 was not running in background, the full ram was handed over to Android/Linux.
So the question should be, if dosbox would prevent haret.exe from initiating the booting process (as the adresses needed are "shielded") ....

Makes alot of sense

To me this all seems to make alot of sense. Dosbox.apk on SD card, Run haret, Boot Android 2.X. No altering of scripts shoould be needed for native android phones correct?
So why would this not work? Should be safe to try atleast and also alot easier than rooting the phone at this point. Am I right?

I just found a alpha version of dosbox for android, the only problem is that it does not support software keyboards. Is there any way to control the phone via a computer so we can try to boot haret?

I found a way to use the keyboard now but it covers up half the screen so im typing blind but it works! Just need to tell dosbox where to find haret now which i dont know how to do yet but im gonna figure it out!

Not to screw your hopes, but dosbox emulates msdos (x86) and therefore nothing compiled for arm is going to work (not winmo or haret)

Just for fun: Video - My HD2 loading and running Android 2.1...

I took this for a friend and thought I'd share...
My 4 day old HTC HD2 loading and running Android 2.1 (rough). I think the song choice (and timing) is awesome. lol
Sorry for a little shake in the vid, I didn't have a tripod handy and had to hand hold the P&S camera...

lol I love how people keep saying not to expect a stable android rom ported over to the hd2 for a year... The way the devs are working and making progress it seems like in months we will have a stable rom.
Yes we could look over the history and see that it has taken years to port android to winmo devices and yes they still aren't 100% stable but then again none of those older winmo devices were the hd2 nor did they have all the internals this bad boy has. There is a reason why they are advancing so fast.
It's called will and power (power meaning the phone )

i cant wait until there is a fully stable version of android on winmo lol

have you checked how much RAM is available after android system is running ?
Is that the original Android 2.1 or is modified ?

when is this coming out?

Go to the link I post earlier in this thread. Download the zip file and extract it to the root of your SDcard. Go into file explorer and run HARET. Press run and let it do its thing, enjoy android. Now its not a fully working port yet for day to day use.

Android runs on top of windows so you have no access to any of your windows programs while running android.

[Q] Honeycomb on Hero?

can anybody port the 3.0 honeycomb version to our beloved Hero?
they did it to the G1/Magic, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RKEHfOwnSI&feature=player_embedded
any hope??

If there is a port to G1/Magic I guess that is possible a port to Hero..

it's certainly buildable for the hero - but most hardware will be broken I would imagine.

Sitting here, playing with an ugly port of the sdk, the first images,most just to remove my pin code so I can get into the system

yes elelinux!
do you think when the sources get released you would have much chance of building a full (or near full) working honeycomb rom?

I think it's possible, but it will not be easy. Especially because Honeycomb is made for tablets... and not for our phones.

If it's built from SDK I bet that almost none of the hardware is working...

That is correct, but strangely all the backlighting of the buttons etc worked out of the box, buttons it is easy to fix if you want.
Just a little test for fun nothing else, also saw that there was support for mdpi so theoretically it could be working on Hero with some manual intervention.
Another thing to, boot up without problems

Yes but hardly anything is working! Even the Nexus one has no audio,wifi,bluetooth,calls!

Yes, it is foolish to ask for a ROM that's meant to run on tablets to be made for phones. But I never have never said and never will say no to a new ROM...
Sent from my Hero using XDA App

Yes it's going to run like ass and our screens won't do any good either.
But... as always, I'm eager to see what crazy stuff the ROM-people come up with.

but the sdk version includes some feature of switching from tablet to mobile mode by simply changing resolution... they won't have included it if it wasn't meant to be run on mobiles, and in 3.1, mobile (2.x) and tablet (3.0) development lines shall be joined (says wikipedia lol). moreover, lots of people out here said it would be impossible to run 2.2 and 2.3 on hero, and right now i'm looking at my rooted android 2.3 hero which is incredibly smooth and stable (way better than with stock os). so why shouldn't it be possible? ele just said even backlight of the buttons worked out of the box, which was not case in 2.x. i'm still believing in our developers (although i can't code well enough to support them ) and i'm sure they'll do some magic
greets, Summoner

Do you really use wikipedia for truths? Anyone can add to Wiki?!

no i don't... i just think it sounds possible... otherwise, there would be two future development lines which the consequence would be that there were VERY different features depending where more / the better devs work on lol^^
i didn't claim it was the absolute truth, otherwise i wouldn't have explicitly said it came from wiki ...

[Project]Mac Os X On XTZ?!

Hello there I was curious if there is a possibility i running mac osx on XTZ, and yes! There is that possibility! As you know there is way to install win xp on android devices using qemu and bochs. But Windows Xp?(srsly?) , so I decided to try running mac osx, on XTZ and it seems to work, actually pretty smooth! I have couple of pictures you can see, and tell me if it's a good idea or not. Anyway it's just testing and having fun, Yolo right? I will tell you more when my XTZ is going to be recharged.
Screenshots comming soon.

In theory, is possible due bochs abd qemu emulation of x86 architechture, but i think your goal is set too high, to say the least LOL

I doubt the photos are fake, but I agree: a video showing the Mac OS X install running would be welcomed. A step-by-step description of how it was installed would also be welcomed. Several months ago, I installed Windows XP on Android using Qemu and Bochs by following this tutorial, but the install was disappointing; Windows XP ran extremely slow.

That's right. Emulation of another architechture can be really painful. So i guess it will run smoothier on x86 devices.
This is just a guess, but that way you don really need to convert x86 code to ARM or MIPS code. It could be native

Hello! I'm back! Sorry I haven't used my tablet for a long time because battery time was awful. But now with 4.3 update it seems to work fine! Also I got usb otg cable (more possibilities!) And Now there's Mavericks. So even more fun! For those who think it's fake. I'll post a video soon . So don't worry. But before a video I have to try Mavericks and couple other things. I'll keep you updated!

There is no way you can get OSX running at an acceptable speed on an ARM architecture. Emulation is really slow and OSX is quite a demanding OS. Just the bootloader and maybe a Darwin shell, sure, but actual OSX, hell no.

Yeah. I'm trying to get that to work. And I know that it's nearly impossible to install mac osx on non apple pc. And here we're talking about different cpu architecture etc. So only someone really bored would do that Well here you have me . At this moment I'm having lots of kernel panics. Maybe in 20-60years I'll make a perfect bootloader that translates code too . LOL. For now it's more like having fun than thinking seriously about this.
