edit: problem solved, patch attached. i also made an update.zip with the new kernel, see here.
there is a vncserver for android out there. so far it works fine, but there is no keyboard or mouse control for the host (android). this being a kernel limitation it can be patched. unluckily for us the patch is available only for the magic kernel version 2.6.23, not for the hero kernel version 2.6.27. i would kindly ask all the developers out there to have a look at the links below, and at least comment about the possibility to "port" (don't know the right expression) the patch to the heros kernel, or teknologists version. i can do the compiling and testing myself, just need someone to have a look at the patch, this is way beyond my skills for now. just compiled the teknologist kernel successfully, as my first compiled kernel ever!
the vncserver project
the patch
htc kernel source
teknologist kerne git
thank you in advance.
i think i managed to apply the patch manually, once i looked into it it turned out that there where only a few lines in 3 files, plus one completely new file, so it seemed pretty easy. yet to be tested, but first i figure out why the kernel won't boot at all, not even with teks sources...
so stay tuned for the kkernel, with full vnc support!

I thought Tek's kernel was based on the GSM hero kernel, not the CDMA one, which might be one of the reasons.

uhm, i have only the gsm hero, no cdma in germay...
anyway, i forgot the --base 0x19200000 in my script, so the boot.img was faulty. it is working now, fbvncserver recieves keyboard inputs, but mouse does not do anything
maybe i can figure that out somehow, already posted in google code of the project.
i will release an update.zip this afternoon, containing the kernel and fbvncserver for easy installation, but now i gotta get some sleep

Great thks a lot for the patch. I'll apply it to next community kernel release.
There's a fork of android-vnc that works without patching, android-vnc-server (both kbde and touch events).

lol although it makes my work on the patch completely obsolete it sounds really good. i will look into that this evening, thanks for the hint.
nevertheless, it was interesting to find out how kernel-compiling and cross-compiling works, i actually had fun doing it
too bad, doesn't work for me
console output shows that keys are received, but no action

Hi guys,
I have fully compiled the Froyo Sources based on HTC Hero proprietary drivers.
Please note this is for the devs only and still needs some work to get working correctly.
I am sure any of the more experienced devs can do something with this

not working correctly doesn't mean that it doesn't work at all.

I just wanted to try it, even without working mic and so on. It is fun : )
But thank you very much for your work. I love your work. I use Cronos 1.7.1 right now, and it is an excellent work ; )

Well it does not boot up fully as it has some framework *.jar deps missing. I am sure some of the devs out here can fix that easily. and get it boot up correctly.

Hmmm...
Wonder if we could take that ROM, change the updater-script to match our mounting points....then we just need a kernel....
Which we have one kernel already made. Not sure if it would work though.
If anyone would help set up a build environment that would work for our kernels and roms then I will gladly help and start learning.

I think we'd need a stock CM9 based kernel though. If I understand correctly.

Well, it shouldn't take too long. It may be possible to build a CM9 Kernel for our phones using parts of the stock kernel that we have access to.
Once the JB source is released, an S3 port might actually be viable. Otherwise it's essentially just flashing a gnex image and praying something/anything works.

a CM9 kernel shouldn't be needed, just a modded kernel for our specific phone from what i believe.
We know this, but it's more of an experiment. Also, it helps work out anything we may need to do early on with the modules and drivers

Why not take this ROM, change the updater-script for our mount points, remove the flashing of the boot.img, flash ROM then flash the kernel Roman release?
Think that would work?

It could, in theory. But we would need to work on the modules for anything to work. Could you post our mount points?
why does it have to be a cm9 kernel?
to be completely honest, as soon as we get a cm9 alpha, we will see some worth while stuff! but until then. TouchWiz it iz. We will have team kang's AOKP in no time im sure. i cant wait to see wuts to come. especially since this phone is at all the major carriers and they are all basically exactly the same! should be epic.

yea i think once one of the other major carriers (or ares) get cm9 then we will see some awesome stuff for everyones phone!

Too bad.
But after reading the webpage, it did look too good to be true.
Yeah when I used to moderate at AF we used to see this a lot, reading it shows it talking about HTC specifics such as RUU which stands for rom update utility and s-off which toggles signature verification off so you can write unsigned code to the system. Really people, the ONLY way that the os can ever be updated is if B&N released source, that's not going to happen and even if it did it still might not be enough because of e-ink specific code that might be under a NDA. :banghead:

A tgz file is a gzipped tar file (UNIX/Linux). I know Winzip will be able to extract it, though it takes two steps. Once you extract it you will have to source code for Nook firmware v1.2. What you do with that is up to you because it is way beyond me.
~David
PS The file would be much easier to work with in Linux or you could extract it to your Window machine using cygwin.

Well, perhaps I misunderstood. There certainly isn't source code to use Andriod 4.4 on the Nook as B&N never intended that. However some android developers might be able to take the most recent source code, which I posted, and figure out a way to make a new version of Android run on it. (I personally think 4.4 would be a real stretch, but if somebody could figure out the eInk driver situation, 2.3 might be a possibility.) I don't know if the source for the eInk drivers would be in the source code (I doubt it) but if they are, someone might be able to use this.

You can change whatever you want in the source code. That is one reason why HTC makes it available. But you need to know how to compile it, troubleshoot, etc.
I'm not a developer, so I can't talk any more specifically/technically than that. But that is the basic concept.
I'm also not sure if "source code" means what your friend thinks it means. Or is he just talking about modifying the ROM?
