Ok, there is plenty of speculation on Android and can we run it on our HTC devices, etc. I have started this new thread dedicated to the MSM7K Kernel release, and what it will take to get this running on our phones.
I would like this thread to become a resource, rather than just general theorizing. For example: "I know we need driver X to run Y on HTC device Foo." What I am not looking for: "Android is so l33t, plez tell me how to run on my Zaurus kthx". The difference is that the first example is constructive, and adds to the discussion.
The signal to noise ratio on the Android gGroup is terrible, and mostly consists of wild theorizing, self-promotion, and arguing. I have a feeling it will improve, but for now I'd like to discuss this subject away from all the SuperKoolNewAndroidForum.com forums.
My Goals for this Thread:
Establish what is known to work, and what the kernel is sorely lacking.
a) I know we have booted Linux on HTC devices, has it been done on the most current devices? (please link to thread/proof)
b) What are the main major roadblocks preventing Linux from being run on more HTC devices? (Obscure hardware design, bricking phone)
Compile a list of needed and helpful software for loading Android: bootloaders, useful Linux tools, filesystem images
Provide continual updates with photos/logs as we (hopefully) make progress
My bet is that the current 'gPhone' in the videos is an HTC device not unlike yours or mine. [link to my blog] IMHO, the hype over 'When will the first gPhone be released' is irrelevant, as Google has been working closely with HTC and Qualcomm for a long time -- and the specs for Android are so low, Google clearly expects to be able to run Android on existing hardware, without needing new hardware technology.
Of course, the tools and software we need are all in existence already, someone at Google is doing a good job of keeping their mouth shut. Therefore this is not an impossible task, just difficult, but I know you xda-hackers like a challenge! So, Let's go!!

FYI: I am aware XDA was founded with the Xanadux project, so this should be the perfect place to hack us a gPhone. I've also browsed threads, read the Wiki, studied up on the Hermes Linux project -- but things seem to have died since Feb 07, I'm hoping this latest development with Android will spark interest again, and we will be able to run Linux on our current, most powerful devices. I could make educated guesses about the state of the Xanadux project, but I'd rather hear it from XDA devs themselves who are most familiar.

Is this going to be like getting Linux OS on my Trinity? I like the browser but a lot of the apps in teh demo vid rely too much on 3G. Data rates in the UK are prohibitive at the moment so I stick with WIFI

YouTube Your best friend , along with google obviously
This page is dedicated to make a stable ICS-JB for the Motorola Atrix
Brief history about the project:
- Un unstable ICS for Motorola Atrix was leaked
- Developers worked on integrating kernel and drivers into existing build
- Kernel was found to be very unstable and new kernel is being ported to Atrix
- While we wait for the kernel, an ICS CM9 build is ready for anyone willing to join the challenge
Next step:
- Developers should get involved in fixing/enhancing the current build
- Code submission is done by forwarding the changes to the head development team for inclusion
Build source code is all available to anyone willing to participate. The build process follows CyanogenMOD builds.
Source Code location: https://github.com/MROM/android/tree/ics
Curent Team:
Project Managers: marcovrv and R3PL1C/\NT.
Head Developers: Epinter, MMontuori, and TPoint75.
Kernel developers: mvniekerk
Developers: Hayander, scanuto, ravilov, geleiahp, alberto88a, tachospeedo, Isaygarcia, digidrops, fanfantasy, hainguyen273, and caster62003.
Testers/Advanced Users: Carcara, EkzoMan, EMG92, Hayander, BusWah, Girafik, clockworkninja, rspaulo, Bravo9000, vigremrajesh, jlm-familiar, The-Milkybar-Kid, r3xx3r, ovitz, lightlord, ticiano_arraes, reix2x, Nargyle, diegofdg, shabeepk, pixut, Kaworu33, jhonnyx, Haxornator, fanhtc2, julian_fern, iximedaixi, heibailife, shadowed87, Matada02, Zeljko1234, tatperson, dibi91, NemeZZiZZ, Moonshield, bimasakti85, Cocolopes, Pont91, jeanpiere, pre4speed, jeffreygtab, nachobkcc, BravoMotorola and littleemp.
Without help, this project cannot continue.
Count me in for Rebirth
mmontuori said:
Dear fellow Atrix owners,
We all know by now that Motorola has cancelled the plans for upgrading to ICS, I was hoping myself to get the new drivers to update my own rom to ICS or JB. Well, this is not going to happen...
What do we do now?
We can either assume this is the death of this revolutionary device, or work on the Re-Birth. You probably know, but there are a group of developers working on upgrading the current Gingerbread version to ICS or JB. I am personally one of them...
We all need your help... we are donating our precious time and resources to make the Atrix 4G a better device that could last for another year or two, however, alone, we cannot continue with this...
WE NEED YOUR HELP...
If you are still reading this message, good, now it's time to decide if the Atrix is going to die in the couple of months or live for some time. We are looking for:
- People that can write code and troubleshoot (Android Java and C/C++)
- Testers
- Project managers (believe it ICS or JB is a full SDLC project)
- Android Advanced users not too scared of trying something new on their phones
- Donate Atrix Devices that you no longer need
- Of course, donations to at least justify the amount if time we spend on this
- If I forgot something, please reply to this thread with suggections
Again, you decide DEATH or RE-BIRTH
Take Care

It is certainly great to see commitment of this kind. I'm no DEV nor do i possess programming skills which could assist you. But please feel free to count me in as a tester and advanced user, more than willing to get his feet wet .
I will glady donate, as should others who wish to revive this device that surely isnt really outdated
I would love to be a tester and advanced user. I have 2 atrixes, so I can test to any extent on one of them. I would donate one but I need to have my main atrix as a backup to the s2 I am in the process of buying. So my backup backup is there for testing anything and everything needed.
I would have no problem in donating except I don't see anyone claiming that it is at all realistically possible to get the full ICS experience in our phones (meaning hardware acceleration and working camcorder). If that changes, I'd be happy to donate to keep my phone alive, but if it's just going to be another dissapointing waiting game with no outcome...
PS: Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to rain on your parade or be an ungrateful bastard as I do really appreciate the work all of you devs put on this. I'd be happy to give money for a bounty.
i'd personally donate 50 dollars to the cause of keeping our phones alive. probably more as time went on as well, just to keep the project alive.
i would also be willing to test ANYTHING on my Atrix, as i have plans of replacing it soon anyways. the fingerprint scanner doesn't work anymore, and the touchscreen is dying.
I'm JUST NOW getting an Atrix and a Lapdock, a little late I know But count me as an advanced user willing to test anything. I hope to get webtop (In non-blur roms) working above all else, unfortunately since moto isn't willing to comply, that is also the most difficult task.
- Android Advanced users not too scared of trying something new on their phones

Love the intiative :fingers-crossed: I don't have any technical skills to share, but I'm willing to test and assist in any other way that I can.
Maybe we should get this posted on the Photon forums as well to consolidate the project?
Would you be able to develop a 3.x kernel?

So you want to build a real ICS/JB ROM for Atrix?
Including a 3.x kernel, hardware acceleration and maybe working webtop?
If at least the first two things apply I would gladly donate for this one.:good:

If there is something i can do that doesn't take me a very lot of time (because of the for-a-life work)
This is possible but requires more than a couple of devs working close together to make it come true. And ofcourse, it will spend us certain time for fix the problem of Nvidia named Tegra2 by re-developing a brandnew driver for our device.
Once this mission completed, we can completely go further ahead to open up other attractive projects on this worth device
Definitely advanced user and tester. Have strong experience on tech related project management, just not on software development projects. Novice on java, almost intermediate on C, advanced in Pascal (dead language I know), but I think I'm a quick learner.
Have a "real" job, so time is limited but can arrange something. Just tell me where I can help.

I have some experience in Java, C/C++, the Android Framework and I am willing to learn more. But I also think, a project management is necessary to order issues, make possibilities clear, have a big picture, sharing knowledge. So, when you start, drop a message.
Hi there,
this is a thread for the HADK. Here you will find the official release notes from jolla for the HADK and maybe general discussion about it. So have fun and lets take the porting adventure to somewhere we can't imagine!
IMPORTANT:
The Images you will build with HADK are under the EULA of Sailfish OS. Please explain to interested users that this is not production quality (you know the watermark) to prevent misunderstandings in functional behaviour!!!

An:Simonas Leleiva [email protected]
Betreff:The first Sailfish OS Hardware Adaptation Development Kit (HADK) Release (EA1)
Datum:July 18, 2014 15:48
Dear early adopter of Sailfish OS for Android devices. This is important
- read this whole mail through and follow all steps exactly as written.
IMPORTANT: If you choose to publish this mail through blogs, news sites,
forums, or others, quote it as-is and in complete form ONLY, or people's
devices may be at risk.
We are extremely happy to release the EA1 version of the Sailfish OS
Hardware Adaptation Development Kit (HADK), which describes how to port
Sailfish OS to existing devices based on CyanogenMod 10.1.
CM version 11.0 and AOSP versions will be supported eventually (and you
can help to make this happen faster!)
Note that Sailfish OS images yielding from this documentation are likely
to be under Sailfish OS EULA.
We are excited to welcome you all to this adventurous porting journey.
We want to build a community around Sailfish OS for Android devices that
is based on mutual trust and respect for what we are all doing. Hence --
we ask that whenever you do screenshots, videos, forum or blog posts or
the like (and we're happy if you do!), you emphasise that this is an
work-in-progress effort and not a productised release. It is important
for Jolla that correct expectations are set for those who might be users
of the final product -- and that they understand what they see is not a
released product
Read through other notes in previous Nexus 4 EA image release emails, as
they are all relevant (cached:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53611676&postcount=433 )
HADK manual can be downloaded from (yes, you finally reached the
essential part of this announcement ) :
http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/2014-07-18_SailfishOSHardwareAdaptationDevelopmentKit.pdf
We will all meet in the support channel called #sailfishos-porters on
irc.freenode.net and please use us (thp, alterego, Stskeeps, lbt,
sledges) to work together, report any bugs, graphical glitches or
missing functionality that you find, which are not included in the
release notes above. You can also find the hardware adaptation source
code at http://github.com/mer-hybris .
You are also welcome to participate in threads such as
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general about Nexus 4 and
Sailfish OS as well as for more general Sailfish OS topics at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general
Release Notes/Known Issues in HADK v1.0.1-EA1:
- Resulting HADK image for any device will not have Jolla Store support
(whereas as official Nexus 4 >=EA3 images by Jolla have). We are working
on Jolla Store integration into HADK (aiming for Nexus 4 as very first)
Will be fixed in the next release of HADK:
- HADK PDF has line-wrapping issues in pages 16, 19.
- PDF readers which can copy out-of-bound text: okular, Firefox PDF
viewer. Readers which cannot: evince, epdfview, mupdf
- PDF contains no table of contents
- Page 9: single quotes should be used to avoid early variable
evaluation for '[insert value of your choosing]' and
'$MER_ROOT/android/droid'

porting news updated. Guys be happy about whats ongoing since hadk was released. Have a great day!
This is really great, I've been waiting a long time for it to be available, documentation prior to that on libhybris and other components were pretty scarce before.
I'm really happy that Jolla is really contributing back to the community.

for me the same. In my opinion the only modern mobile os (blackberry has done a great job too). Next phone will be a jolla. Contributing back and also it's great community
If I will have let's say an almost working port of sailfish on a phone generally, will I be able to have a working port of nemo mobile as well?? ;D

Sailfish in many ways is a layer on top of Nemo, so yes

Great good news!!!!!
I wonder, would anyone (ever) work on enabling Barometer on Mako??? I mean, even Android snubs that sensor. I'm one of the very few I can find on any forum who cares about Barometer as I'm a bit of a weather geek.

Reading on later in the logs it looks like they are going to take the camera work from Ubuntu phone and use it. But then later after that it is mentioned that someone named netchip is doing it directly using hal. Getting confused about who is doing what with which phone model.
Anyways just posted by Nokius https://twitter.com/Nokius/status/493465722446970880

Camera implementation strategy is not yet set in stone, so confusion is normal, please bear with us
Could anyone help with finding a barometer on board? I believe it would be just some linuxy manifestation of a sensor under sysfs, probably could be abstracted by libhybris like other sensors?
Thanks!

Good day to all ZTE Axon 7 owners,
Ive started a Project in my Community on Facebook, we want to develop a Daydream game in the direction of FPS as critical ops or modern combat 5 or TPS like Hardcore VR. Have already found few people together but sill need some skilled people in Unity for example, would be very happy if you can take part in the project.
Have emailed ZTE , becaue I am in contact with them and maybewhen the accept we could possibly win ZTE as our great sponsor, it would also bring the whole community closer because we could exchange a lot of ideas and tips and tricks
What do you think of this idea, a short feedback would make me very happy.
