I try to look around with the google and all those things, but nothings comes out propelly. My question it's just that, any Kernel available to make ours mT3GS to have loop? This is for an Ubuntu install. Any idea or any could get Ubuntu to myTouch Slide?
I need it for my college exercises, c++, java and all those, so an UI like Gnome or Unity it's not what I'm looking for, just the Ubuntu comand line, or maybe an UI so lightly.
If you can help me here, will be appreciated.

hello,
their seems to be a few posts on this being ported to BA recently. ow ive got linux running on my BA fairly well (havent got round to setting up gprs etc yet though but thats a different matter) and id be willing to try and get a port of android working, if someone can extract the 3 img files in the android sdk as ive not managed to do that yet ? anyone want to try and help or am i talking of a lost cause
ok, ill post this incase anyone is watching. i made some progress getting andriod running but i keep getting seg fault tryingto run it, any1 who could provide insight let me know pelase
Unfortunately I can't help you but I'll be keeping a VERY close eye on this thread!
Good luck, I'm sure there are a whole load of people who'd buy you a beer if you succeed.
Steve
glad to see someones watching . ill have another play around over weekend see what i can come up with
it will be interesting to see how android works on BA keep up with the good work
Nice.
I like my BA and I don't wont to change it until an open linux mobile is avaible (an open Iphone could be great).
Maybe a sub-forum called "Blue angel linux" could help.
I'm bored or a problem with the actual BA linux is the acces to the wifi chipset?
And this seems noise. And I don't want to pay for having linux on my BA!

Not the access, but a nice gui/setup.
remember linux is designed primarily for people who know what their doing. yes theirs guis now which help but you stil need command line to use linux properly. except on the iPhone and android from what ive seen
actually there was an earlier thread regarding android. and with 921+ adding 200+ views here, We bet there are people that are REALLY interested porting this.
hope we get it up and running.
anything for our BA.
even alternatives to WM6 are welcome.
well im not having a lot of look, it seems to be segfaulting pretty much constantly. think its down to the busybox shell though so im going to find a newer one and try that later, does anyone know what version of the arm feature set the BA uses. (because from reading http://benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/21/android-neo1973) android only seems to work on devices using ARMv5 featureset. whatever that means)
UPDATE: thats not a problem, the pxa263 in the BA is ARMv5TE so thats ok - gotta love wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XScale)
Further update: ok been reading up a bit more and im doing the risky thing of building my own kernel for android see if i can get round these damn segfaults
ok just thought id post up so people done think ive given up here . still havign issues compiling the linux kernel with the android addidtions. mainly because i ahvent got a proper linux machine at home (only virtual pc on this computer)...dont suppose anyone uses linux and has a decent knownledge of compiling kernels on here ??

I've compiled kernels under Linux before, but not for an embedded system like the angel's.
Where did you get the tarballs for everything? And what distro of Linux did you install?
Really, real machine vs virtual machine, in this case, shouldn't matter. It might, but shouldn't.
not so much the fact im using a virtual machine, its the fact im only on a 2mb connection so downloading linux cd images takes ages and since debian is the only distro ive seen which has arm crosscompile tools that work that means 2 dvds or 9+cd images. most of the tarballs ive had to rip direct from the android sdk emulator. i could host them somewhere if someone wants to try and help me out getting a kernel running - after that i think most of android should fall into place on its own, but getting openbinder support in the kernels proving difficult
EDIT/UPDATE: ok just tried installing the arm crosscompiliers on my development dedicated server and it seems to be compiling a kernel as i type (hopefully) so looks to be some progress happening here
Been following your thread with interest.
I should be getting a new PDA from work, so then I could take the risk of bricking my trusty and battered Blue Angel.
Any chance you could post some links to the various bits you are using? Not a step by step (unless you have the time) but the starting points so others can attempt to duplicate your efforts in parallel?
Good luck - I'm rooting for you!
ok, im just tarballing up the files on my webserver now, didnt have any success with kernel, looks like im going to have to take the blueangel drivers etc from the kernel posted on handhelds.org and manually merge the config files into the android kernel image to get it to compile. unless anyone can suggest a way to do that easily (windows or linux routine i dont mind)
the main sites ive used to help out ive listed below
http://benno.id.au/blog/ << somewhere on their theirs a link to the android root filesystem image. (http://benno.id.au/android/system.tar.gz and http://benno.id.au/android/data.tar.gz)
http://nemustech.blogspot.com/2007/12/android-porting-to-real-target-hw.html
http://euedge.com/blog/2007/12/06/google-android-runs-on-sharp-zaurus-sl-c760/
http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngelKernel
the three above above links help even though their not scriptly related to android on blueangel
the rest of the files are in http://radiodmp.net/android-files/ - the 365mb file contains the 2 arm cross compilers and also both the newest blueangel linux kernel and the android kernel - as said above these need merging (android kernel needs to be the one that is the final kernel as its newer i believe
edit: ive just put the system and data tars linked above into the folder on my server also to save people time.
hope that helps
if anyone wants any help drop me a message and ill try and help out. will of course keep trying to sort it myself too
Any update on this?
Actively watching this thread and just wanted to know. I'd love to be able to play with Android.
good to see ppl interested. ive not had time to try and merge the kernels yet, hopefulyl might get chance this week

ok managed to hack together the two kernels, compiling it as i type - hopefully it'll workon my BA
I'd like to try my hand at building a custom rom. I have an Ubuntu Laptop and an Evo and I really don't know where to start. I read that there was a Rom Kitchen that I could use, but I don't know where to get it or how to get it installed on UBuntu.
Additional Options
Thanks.
Hey, I'll help you out I was once in the same position and 20,00 pages and forums later that I came to conclusion that if you really want to use Android Kitchen by dsixda I recommend you use Cygwin for Windows, which is like a modified DOS with Linux Coding which works flawlesslly. Yes you could use Ubuntu but I tried doing so and I get many errors during cooking my roms. But its up to you, I'll provide the links to help you where to find guides on how to Install appropriate drivers, software to cook up some Roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 Android Kitchen <------
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/ < ------ Video on how to set up Android Kitchen on Linux Ubuntu.
Good luck
I'm going to second the kitchen thing but only to a point. It does handle some of the more annoying bits of putting a ROM together but I recommend you grab a stock rom, pull it apart, and try adding the changes that you want. Then flash, tweak, flash, etc.
I did this the other day with a stock HTC release. I learned a lot just about the general workings of the rom and all I was doing was basically dropping other people's tweaked frameworks and apps into it. After flashing about 15 times, I had a rom close to what I wanted with nothing I didn't.
That gets you started. Where you go from there is up to you. I hope to move from cut and paste rom assembling to doing some actual real development soon.
Before I begin, let me explain.
I checked links in the sticky in the Dev thread, but the links are all broken, and multiple issues have been reported.
When I still had my G1, I made it the ultimate nerd machine. I was able to get Debian on it, including AndroidVNC and LXDE, all thanks to JesusFreke's RC33 modded firmware.
Of course 2.5 years later, times changed. security was amped up, etc.
I LOVE Ubuntu (makes me wonder why I stuck with Micro$oft Window$ for the last five years) Can anyone please direct me to a tutorial optimized for the G2/Desire Z/etc. where the links aren't broken?
On a side note, can anyone tell me where I can find a tutorial to install adb/AndroidSDK on my netbook (on Ubuntu 10.10)? I'm tired of having to use Window$ just to make use of adb.
All help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for your time,

for installing the SDK on Ubuntu...

Take a look here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
I used this and have everything working as expected. I even did the setup under Oracle's VM VirtualBox in my Win7 setup. Flawless.

I gave up on trying to run a permanent Ubuntu image on my phone. It's not that the hack doesn't work, it's that it only works once. I'm still having a fun time showing off my Gingerbread-fueled G2 to the coworkers still on stock Froyo (and then offer to root and upgrade it in exchange for money).
Sorry in advance if there's a tutorial already out, but i can't seem to find it. I want to begin by modding themes. I have d/l and installed apk manager, sdk tools, java, eclipse and have, as far as i know, associated everything properly. My prog exp is little: some visual basic and turbo pascal in college, along with a flirting fascination with assembly. My thought was i would begin by modding code instead of learning java outright, but if i have to learn c or java that is just fine. where? Anyway, every time i run script.bat in apk manager, i receive an error. Put .apk in mod folder, run script.bat, start project (the .apk is (1)) 1, decompile...error! what am i doing wrong? If anything, just point me in the direction of a good tutorial.

I'm not sure if what you're looking for would be there, but have you checked the General Android Development forum? http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=613
I'm sure you would be able to get more detailed help there, since you are talking about non device specific development. Good luck!

Thank you! I've seen some, but not all. I have a nitro, so dev would be geared towards that. further along i was/would ask how you get the emulator to approximate the lg nitro, but for now i thought i'd stick with just requesting a solid tut.

Never messed with it, to be honest... I've got so many things I want to do but can't seem to find a good starting point for any of it. Pretty sure I've downloaded eclipse, JDK, and the android SDK in both windows and linux environments but that's about as far as I've gone... I may have installed them, not 100% sure. I get side-tracked too easily. :cyclops:
For who wants to test the next version of Unity, it can be a good idea for use in development of Ubuntu Touch apps too,
as it behavior is like the Android Emulator, but without the emulation part, running native, this tutorial can be usefull:
http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/development/unitynext/
I will update this post with instructions for easy run your own apps though Unity Next soon as I organize my steps.
If someone want to help with Unity Next hacking, maybe we can help improving the official wiki or sending some pull requests or bug reports.
