Ok so I am interested in developing roms but since I am only gonna begin(still thinking things through) I was hoping you guys can help me with some doubts:
1) Do you prefer building on windows or Linux?
2) Is there an advantage on working with Linux?
3) Is working with Linux on a virtual machine in windows the same?
4) Is there a way to test the rom without having to flash?
5) Is there anywhere you think one should begin or read before actually getting to work?
Thanks in advance

Hi there!
I was just wondering if anyone got linux up and running on one of this phones (especially I'm interested in the s730). Some kind of openmoko on a HTC would just be really great
So anyone - any information?
thx
Ali
EDIT:
I think, it should be possible, cause Android seems to run (better: is designed to run) on Qualcomm MSM7k series...
nothing? nobody?

There is a thread here about running win95 using bochs. I want to try to run DSL on bochs the problem is that i cannot find the wince version of the emu. If that is successfull i am looking at building a small gentoo system using matchbox as the window manager. Unless i can find a wince port for gtk that is
look up the WIKI and u will find all your answers
@cornelha:
bochs isn't the best solution when it goes down to linux. I think using the right compiled kernel (for arm9/11) would do it...
@ather90:
thanks
will look into that

After reading this i thought it is possible to bring this to our omap 850 devices so i just want see ur views
you can use e17 booting angstrom + illume thanks to wing linux project
but there aren't angstrom image ready to load you must compile...
As gp.triple pointed out, it should be possible to do. As Wing Linux uses Angstrom+Android so Angstrom+E17 shouldn't be a problem.
And pitillo on #wing-linux mentioned a couple of days ago that he was trying to build it for elf (aka Touch, another Omap850 device). If he succeded in making one, it should run as is on our devices.
Personally, I prefer having a Kernel that supports all Opal features before worrying about builds and packages. And sadely, I'm not having lots of success there
Anyway, check the link in my sig if you want to know more about Wing Linux.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
're right I also think that before we have a working kernel and then you can choose what you prefer
Linux is freedom
i tried android wing linux already , its cool thnx musik monk
Hey guys, I've recently started to get involved in ROM development on my free time, still pretty new at this, and have been researching how to set up Ubuntu w/ a Virtual Machine as well as setting up the Android Kitchen. I came across a couple comments where people have reported Ubuntu 11.04 having graphical issues. Could anyone verify this? I'm in the process of setting up VirtualBox and don't know if I should go with the latest version of Ubuntu or 10.04. I guess what I need to figure out is if they are both compatible with VirtualBox 4.0.8, or if there is a combo of the two that out weighs the other in terms of graphics and performance? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
What I'm running:
Win7 Ultimate x64 (x86 compatible)
VirtualBox 4.0.8
Ubuntu ?
To answer the question that everyone is thinking as they click on this thread... Yes, I am a noob.
Anyway, I downloaded the Android Kitchen and installed it on a Linux Ubuntu Virtual Machine on my Macbook using VMWare Fusion and i watched a video from theunlockr, but all it really let me do was add in apps, change the rom name and give it a few features but no visual customizations... If i posted a link of the "My ROM" no one would be able to tell a difference in the rom i planned on starting from.
Let me know if there is a different way to create that is actually making ROMs or customizing the ROM in it's entirety instead of small unnoticeable features, let me know if I'm just doing something wrong in my Android Kitchen and let me know if theres an easy way to develop ROMs on Mac without Virtual Machines. (The last one isn't a big worry because linux is very lightweight and runs fine on my computer but please help me on the other two questions)
Thanks in advance,

Hi guys! i am just wondering if it is at all possible to duel boot currently with android and native linux? i would love to be able to do this, but being rather bad have no idea how to do it myself are their any tuts out their if its possible? many thanks

If you are familiar with linux use this, although it may not help with dualbooting, its best to ask a developer for some help.
Regards
Jack
you can also try this... http://linuxonandroid.org/ it's not dual boot, it's more like a virtual machine... but i can run ubuntu, debian, and backtrack... other flavors are in development as well...
