**Android On The Dash** Is Partly Working, But We Still Need Drivers

Okay so me and a few helpful people from the #htc-linux and #linwizard channels on freenode have built a version of linwizards kernel for the wizard to run on the excalibur! At first we had no framebuffer so no screen at all but thanks to tmzt, the framebuffer is fixed. Also myself, tmzt, and ali1234 made a (semi) working keymap. All the buttons work just a few tweaks need to be made.
**UPDATE**Thanks to some brilliant work by starwarrior we now can load android and play with it, the phone functions do not currently work, more details on post 76. Have fun.
I have included all you need to run the linwizard kernel on your excalibur. It is as safe as a soft reset; nothing permanant is done to your phone. You will have to remove the battery to reboot and get back to your normal windows enviroment.
Currently there is no support for the following and are a work in progress:
X
Sd card access
GSM usage (calls, sms, gprs)
Anyone with this type of experience or anyone who wants to help at all please email me at gentoon at gmail dot com.
Thanks to everyone working on the linwizard project and everyone who has helped do far.

To run all you have to do is extract run the haret executible and click run. You will see some text letting yo know its loading the kernel, then some garbae as the framebuffer adjusts... then a login screen just enter root and nothing for the password field. Then there you go a working linux enviroment!

I know little to nothing about Linux but I am always up for something new. I have a "spare" Excalibur- and in another week I will have 2 spares so if you need anything specific tested let me know

Ummm so do you have the program available or no...

I was just going to say that... Mediafire is amazing...

sorry about that forgot how long uploading over a gprs can take, im visiting family and have no pc, so i have been doing everything over my dash. I added a link to the first post.

Okay operamini doesnt want to let me edit my post so sorry about the double post, here is the link:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/gfme0e
also you wil probably have to do a soft reset right before you run haret to avoid it freezing. Have fun.

Is it possible to see a screenshot of what it looks like on the excalibur.
Thanks

IDK for some reason I am hesitant to try this...

The main project is located at http://linwizard.sourceforge.net you can see some screenshots there of it working on the wizard. Of course our port doesnt support everything they have working on the wizard yet, but with some moe help we could.

Well do you know anything about linux? I can get the kernel source uploaded. We need a better keymap first of all( we need \ mapped, also control and esc are mapped but dont seem to be working), then someone who knows something about X, it would be nice to have a GUI. Right now I would just like some people to test it on their excaliburs. Also all of the credit for the original kernel goes to the linwizard project. So thanks guys.

Hi,
Here are the patched files for Excalibur. Remove the .txt extension and copy them over the corresponding files in linwizard kernel tree.

Im going to be adding a detailed to do list on the main page. Once i get some real developers rounded up we are going to make this an official project on sf.

hey..i have seen this day in my dreams..lol
anyways i have ubuntu on of my pc's and love it...so i don't know too much about linux but i would definitely be willing to help!

best news about WP7 in the past few days... thanks
Anyone ot the unlocked ROM Dump ?

Can someone clarify something for me.
Isn't this the unlocked rom for the x86 emulator/? As in, its not compiled for an arm processor and therefore won't work to produce a Rom as yet?
Also, if anyone knows - is the new CE core similar enough that older drivers could be used for the HD2 (for example)?

unlocked ROM mirrors
hxxp://mediafire.com/?mjzkgmhnhmb
hxxp://narod.ru/disk/18905455000/WM70Full.bin.html

so i managed to build xnaframworkcore.dll into a rom, where is the silverlight packages? and do you think there is any way to test the framework in a winmo 6.5 rom?

How do I install the BIN?
New to all of this .. can anyone tell me what I do with the new unlocked BIN?
Thanks a lot for your help!

Download the Windows Phone tools put the bin in C:\program files\microsoft xde\1.0 folder and start a command prompt run->cmd or type cmd in search box for Win 7
then type
cd C:\program files\microsoft xde\1.0
xde (Bin name).bin
Emulator will run

Does anyone know how to get accounts to setup after ROM?
Does anyone know how to get WP7 accounts to setup? Or does this just not work? I can get out with Internet Explorer ... but I can't get the accounts to setup correctly!

Yeah as far as we know integrating accounts doesn't work.

Seems like accounts do work in emulator...

They didn't get facebook integrated. You can view calendar either war. I don't know about e-mail I didn't look at that.

I can't get any accounts to sync either - tried both google apps (via activesync) and facebook - no dice.

[W O R K I N G] Kaiser-Buntu - Ubuntu on the HTC Kaiser (!UPDATED w/DL-links!)

Hello everyone,
I am happy to inform all those folks who waited for a full Linux operating system on the HTC Kaiser PDA that today a little bit modified version of Zubuntu finally booted successfully on my HTC Kaiser.
It is a really in the alpha-state but it works, let's see what do we have:
TouchScreen: works perfectly with calibration
Screen: looks good. but programs doesn't support Kaiser's small resolution. You can fix this by using INTERPOLATION, but this makes picture quality a lot worse. To try it out edit the default.txt, find the mddi.height and mddi.weight values and change to for example 480 and 360.
Keyboard: works exactly as expected, some fine tuning with the keyboard map will be done
ScreenRotating
Not tested/not working:
WiFi (MY #1 ISSUE, TRYING TO FIX): I extracted the wifi section from an Android rootfs, successfully modprobed wlan.ko, dmesg shows that the driver is loaded OK, but:
Code:
iwconfig
tiwlan0: no wireless extensions
ifconfig tiwlan0 up
ifconfig: ioctl (SIOCDIFADDR): Can't assign requested address
TI's WLAN_LOADER program didn't work either, so now I am moving to the other driver (wl12xx)
Bluetooth (Driver is there, no BT programs installed, couldn't test it)
3G
Cameras
Phone (NO dialer, nothing, however perhaps gsm-libs can help us firing it up)
Many many thanks goes for all these people form the #htc-linux IRC channel: randomblame, Markinus, ali1234, Ondalf and bombenbach for their outstanding support and help!
I would like to say thank you especially to phh for his awesome help and patience with me!
Click on the image for more pictures!
Stay tuned for: hopefully working WiFi, screnshots, YouTube-demonstration.
If you are interested, want to say thank you, want to help, or have an idea how to fix some things please write into this topic.
Also if you like my work, please consider a little a donation for me
After all, I am pretty sure now you want to try this on your own too, so here is the link for the Google-Code website. Download all the files and read the Wiki to know what to do.

Would it be destructive to flash it to nand at this point in the project?

I wouldn't count on it even remotely fitting on the NAND. Besides, you'll probably have to have half the apps on an SD card anyway...

how about a build that will work with the new nomorootfs installers so hose of us like me can try it without going back to winmo, Would like to install to ext2.img files or sdcard partitions.
And is this remotely close to the MER Linux build that progress seems to be halted on I was able to get it to work

working XWindow?

I wouldn't recommend installing it to NAND (it doesn't work so good, for example I didn't have time to test power/suspend).
Xwindows works perfectly (except the resolution issue).

resolution issue. can you please explain that? (whats wrong in resolution) before i flash back to ,WM and try it

Michga said:

The problem is that the rootfs is not for the Kaiser and the Xserver uses some hardcoded resolution (that means there is no config file for it) so circa half of the windows are too big for the screen. It is not a big problem because you can move them around so it is easy to get to one of the corners and resize them so you can see the whole thing at once.
Fixing this is on my To-Do list

sorry for the dumb question but...
will this support phone???
no mention in the OP.
I assume no. (for now anyway)

mod: I found this: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/comm/gsm-utils and this http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man8/gsmctl.8.html perhaps I will try it later (or someone can try it and report)

This intrigues me muchly, but why ubuntu/debian based?
There are other, (and imho simpler), bases to build on, slackware springs to mind, and there are some tiny distros out there, which may also be worth looking at, to say nothing of the likes of Familiar, an interesting candidate for a non-android htc-linux.

Android OS for all WM devices(include HTC MEGA(Touch 2))(Pre Alfa Version)

ANDROID FOR ALL DEVICES by fiher51112
----------------------------------------
12.04.2010
----------------------------------------
I like many other owners of htc touch 2 (known as mega) waited for haret or something else to run Android on my phone.
But over time I realized that the expectations of themselves and quite possibly not be worth so and decided to start his own development of an android for my phone (although it turned out a workable(in future, for now it is slow,but working) version on all phones)
----------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE WITH THIS PROGRAMM(but i use it for 3 days and run almost all OS(under windows ME )and i haven't got any problem)
----------------------------------------
INSTUCTION:
1.Connect your WM phone via cable(or use card reader);
2.Copy Android folder to root of your phone(or card(better));
3.Make shortcut for android.exe(for convenience);
4.Run android.exe and wait until it boot you into android menu;
5.If you have any bugs or glichs-it's normal, but write about them to ****. I'll try to get rid of them.
----------------------------------------
NOTES:
This is just emulation of Android OS(at this level), That's why it don't have all features of real Android OS
----------------------------------------
P.S. This is only first version of my first project for WM, so i'll appreciate any help from profeccionals and Android OS coders
----------------------------------------
ANDROID OS FILES:
I had slow internet that's why i send in in next 12 hours(sorry for this)

I cannot post pictures here, so look in attachment

-----------------------------------
P.S. I'll try to upload them at wednesday,but not promise.

Does this work for HD2?

See link in my sig.

it's not april the first anymore

Please, as i am a newb in this so can you explain to me what is exactly an emulation (is haret and emulator as well?)Will this mean that it will NEVER be as android (running all the functoins)??
THANKS and looking foward for the links

Haret is not an emulator
It shut down the whole windows mobile and boots into linux kernel (Android and so on)
Emulator is a software that simulates an hardware...

Files will be here at 2pm gmt+3(msk).
---------------------------------------------
I tried to run this android not to use it like phone os, i do it to use android's apps, features and so on.
--------------------------------------------
I run huge various of other os on my phone(touch 2) like windows 95, kolibri,puppyrus linux and this is not a joke. It is really possible to run native android on all phones. But it need to be optimized for each phone(not like haret, it need to be optimize resolution, quality of graphic and so on)
For example: Kolibri os has 320*200 screen resolution(i have qvga screen) but it doesn't work stable with this resolution, but if set resolution to 640*480 it will get better perfomance and more qualify graphic.
---------------------------------------------
I created blog about os 1 hour ago. If somebody will interested in running other os on it's phone, i can help with it there. I'll get you link later.
---------------------------------------------

what do you mean with 2pm?
it is nearly 00am in msk!?

A few more days and I will start re-uploading to other mirrors. I need to watch my monthly bandwidth. So torrents are always out of the question
Last month I reached 500GB and they disabled my internet access. My ISP said they never had someone reaching that.
I will upload to depositfiles as well. Then you can download simultanously the easy way.

I am downloading it currently. Will get the Torrent ready in an hour and start seeding for the next 1 month.
EDIT: Uploaded in Multiupload http://www.multiupload.com/5RNNX7TOC9

First of all I would like to thank the file because it is very handy for those just starting in this world of Android, sorry the translation is that do not speak English, I am Brazilian.
We saw a question that has several files within the those who have run down the 129 and has only one this way: Developer.vmdk Android, which is the main?? Another thing was that it was not able to mount a vmware, achieved through a virtual box, you would know why?
