Android Port Anyone?

I am no linux expert but it seems that could possibly run on most HTC devices with some kernal patching??
I think the new OS looks better than Windows Mobile and is certainly better than touchflo 3d.
I am calling on the information of all the cooks,developers and hackers on this forum to answer this, do you think it would be possible to create a ROM that boots out HTC devices into this new Android OS and therefor rid us of microsofts limited WM6/6.1 OS ??
I am all for trying if you are!

Me too. I had expected to see more questions about android. I'm setting up a linux box to see what we can do with the source! Hope to see some progress here!

I think you should follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782&page=124
The people out there are working on a working Android on the Kaiser. When finished, the Android system can easily ported to some other HTC devices (I think).
I think that Google Android is working better than Windows Mobile with TouchFlo (2d & 3d), so I hope that they finish the job soon

Android on HTC Wizard ?

I sow here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382265 that the user DZO ported Android as an image on a virtual machine for HTC Touch.
They have a site here http://www.myhtcphone.com/ and I downloaded the needed files to try to see if it is working on my old Wizard. It is very simple to install it (they created even a .cab file)
But is seems that is not working. It is saying booting linux, it is displaying the console with 4 or 5 lines and after that it remains with a white screen.
Doses any one tried also to run this Android image on an HTC Wizard ?

Yes, currently there is no working version of Android on the Wizard, simply because we are missing some propriatery JAVA drivers and framework, that at least I have not been able to secure for our use. Perhaps in time a version will become available. I am still working on a version, but I dont have much hope for it.

No big deal, however I do not like Android... For now, Android is out of WM league, i know it's based on linux, but just a few apps are availible and so... A two years ago I instaled linux on my SX1 - what a wasting of time - Qtopia sucks also...

in open-nandra com sound driver for linux HTC Wizard - how this add to android?

It is something new, I have an old MDA Vario, and I want him working for Android

If you want the best system for your MDA Vario, use Windows Mobile. I suggest Ham3r's H3r5, but CRACING's CR96 is good for WM6.5, and many ROMs to choose from, even though very few are recent.
If, instead, you want Android, I suggest a different phone. I got an old AT&T Tilt, which is HTC Kaiser, and it runs Android well. In my opinion Wizard was a better phone for its time, but Android on Wizard is very immature, and advancing very slowly.

How about Windows Phone 7? See: http://www.xda-developers.com/featu...gn=Feed:+xda-developers/ShsH+(xda-developers)

(Multitouch in Android builds) - (WinMo emulator in Android)

I'm asking this here since we are those lucky guys who probably tried all kind of builds/bases on Android (evo, desire, nexus1,desire HD,....) and Winmo builds! So logically we know the most about these 2 topics:
1- Does the multitouch experience change from base to base in android!?
What i mean is, have you ever tried to play a multitouch game on Evo base, Nexus1 base, desire base...??? Is it the same experience?! Are multitouch drivers the same in those android HTC devices?!? If not, which in your opinion has the best multitouch drivers?!?
2- Is there is some kind of emulator of Winmo in Android?!?
I mean there is some apps/games that are only available @ Winmo, is there is a special way (emulator or other if possible) to run those on an android device?!? If not, To devs and advanced users, do you think this can be done?!? What does it take to do it?!
Thanks guys!

1) I've tried Nexus, Evo & Desire and there wasn't any differences. There is a calibration tools in some builds with Sense but sensitivity was equal.
2) There is no emulator. In Linux world we have Wine witch can run Windows apps but there is nothing with Windows Mobile support.

Thanks 4 ur reply!
However i have read somewhere that Nexus 1 multitouch driver is a bit "faulty", if it's the right word!
IMO all these HTC devices have bad multitouch drivers! I sometimes have some struggling to play let's say Fifa2010 because i take off my left arm from "move pad" but the dot still at its place until i take off my right arm from the "A & B" buttons! So i realize that it's interfering one touch at 1 place with another touch on another place! Of course that doesn't happen all the time but it happens!
About 2), excuse my ignorance bcz i know nothing about Linux, but is it so difficult to make this "Wine witch" work on android devices to be compatible with Winmo?!?

1) I thing we have us own MT driver. Every screen & digitizer (or however its called) should have diff driver to work. But not 100% sure - it's possible we have screen & digitizer same as some other phone...
Multitouch in hd2 is locking when You have two finger in these same line (vert or horiz). To work You should move one of Your finger to leave common line (that "line" is quite fat!). I suggest try some MultiTouch Demo App from store - it's free and shows how its working in our devices.
2) Windows on PC and PPC are quite diffirent. I think its possible to make "Mobile" Wine but it's a _lot_ of work. And it's not 100% legal (Windows source isn't open). Moreover emulator will be a bit slow and laggy. And of course some apps will work, some not and some will hang Your phone

Hopefully cotulla will finish the sd bootable version of winmo soon... I know he's working on one that we can use with magldr to boot from sd. So with that we can have wp7 or android on nand and still be able to boot winmo when we want. Soon we will have quad-booting devices... WP7 on nand, and WinMo6.5, Android, and Ubuntu on SD... and maybe one day have a meego port that works well!

[Q] Is there anyone ported WM (window mobile) to android device

just wandering....
is there anyone in this forum succed or try to port window mobile to android device....
thanks......
ps: i'm sorry if i post on wrong section......

I would love to use Windows Mobile on my Motorola Milestone

Good question,I was going to ask it
since I have a chinese clone of Xperia X10.The funny part is that it was first released with WM 6.5 as the ROM.
http://www.fastcardtech.com/goods-5419-Smart+X10+Dual+os+37inch+WVGA+capacitive+screen+windows+Wifi+GPS+smart+phoneDual+sim+standby+WIFI+GPS+50MP+came.html
But I got it as android 2.2 froyo which is incapable of installing adobe flash player and it cannot even play divx/xvid movies. So I plan to switch to windows mobile 6.5 which is much familiar and was using xperia X1 for years.
I also like to know the reversing of OS is possible and like to know the process of doing it.I dont now even have the ROM of WM6.5 for it along with me.Somebody

[Q] Samsung Focus downgrading from WP7 to WM 6.5.3/6.5

Anyone.
This WP7 os stinks as to the proprietary nature.
I have I nice new Samsung Focus with no AT&T applications and the .7008 os.
What I wonder about:
Can the windows mobile 6.5.3/6.5 be installed on that phone?
I have a Samsung Omnia II also and some applications I really dig.
And so the Focus is a nice phone (for me) but the WP7 stinks.
Can not even syncronize directly with Outlook (an IPhone can and that is also a g.d. proprietary phone)
Anyone have the needed cookbook and tools?
That is, given it is possible to downgrade.
The os for 6.5.3 I have, but I can not use Octans on the Focus so if it is possible in some way to downgrade the phone I need something similar that works with the WP7 phone, Focus

As there is no HSPL for the Focus and none of the drivers that would be needed in WM6.5.3 for the Focus's Hardware you currently won't be able to downgrade.
Thread should be in the Foucs Forum anyway, not Omnia 7.
