auto-signer for linux?

is there one? because all the one's i have seen run under the windows command. I recently switched to linux (which is miles better than XP ) but i can't carry on my theme without an auto-signer, or at least, knowing how to sign the apks manually.
cheers!

anyone got any info on this yet?

im interested in this as well. i use linux as my main os.

[Q] Get windows 6.5 rom on incredible?

I own an HD2 and loved the windows 6.5 format, now im looking at the incredible due to a change in service provider and wonder if I could put a windows rom on the incredible even though its running android. I know on the HD2 which ran windows, you could put an android rom so im wondering if it works the other way around. I have tried searching the forums and have yet to find anything that can give me a definite answer if i can or cant.
thanks in advance guys

As far as I know it has not been done on any android phone to date...
Correct me if I'm wrong...

Why? Have you ever used android? There is a very good reason it hasn't been done...once you switch you'll never want to go back.

wtf? Them are fightin words!

This will probably never happen.
Android is open source. So a conversion is more likely to move towards open source than a proprietary OS.
What you want may not be impossible, I think the community to drive towards proprietary OSes will be too small for success.

It'd probably never work right anyway... Even if you could find an image of WinMo compiled for the processor, driver issues would be everywhere. It's very unlikely that these would be something which could be corrected.

+1 Exactly, no one really wanted windows over android so everyone just ports android onto windows phones.

Give Android a shot

..........or just get an imagio for 49.99

I agree that it hasn't been done because Android is so much better, but there are things I miss from Windows that just worked better. Mainly connecting to my VPN and using remote desktop. It just worked so flawlessly on Windows (and why shouldn't it, its the same company I know) and Android is being difficult with it. Plus there aren't any remote desktop programs that are free that is as good as the one that came stock on the windows phone.

[Q] MeeGo

Is there a potential to port MeeGo for the Desire HD?

I'm also extremely interested in a meego port for the DHD. I've used it briefly on my n900 and I believe the DHD's increased spec would run it a lot faster.
Anyone else interested in this?

Yeah, i'd also love to see Meego running on my DHD.
Maybe a similar procedure to the normal Desire would work: wiki.meego.com/ARM/MSMQSD#HTC_Desire_Meego_1.1_WIP
The HTC kernel for the DHD is also located at developer.htc.com, so maybe we could just give it a try?

The demo of the N9 looked great so I thought I should really give it a try (yes, I know the stock user interface is much more boring), but I'm stuck.
I compiled the kernel boot image from the official ace kernel sources (ace-2.6.32-g5ed1769) and the the meego root image (kickstart script is attached):
Code:
LANG=en_EN mic-image-creator --run-mode=1 --cache=mycachedir --format=loop --arch=armv7hl --save-kernel --config=handset-armv7hl-dhd.ks
Then I made an extra partition on the sdcard and copied the image to it:
Code:
dd if=meego-handset-armv7hl-dhd-1.1.99.20110621.0425.img of=/dev/sdf2
Now I wanted to boot this kernel using fastboot
Code:
fastboot -c 'root=/dev/block/mmcblk1p2 rw rootfs=ext3 init=/sbin/init rootwait noinitrd' boot zImage
But this doesn't work, it just falls back to the recovery mode..
So I really don't know what I should do now, could anybody help debugging this?
Thanks,
Lukas

Whats meego? The OS on the N9? Looks like a nice phone... but methinks it wont hold a candle to android...

Yes exactly, but without the user interface from Nokia.
I really like it because it's practically only a Linux distribution with a special user interface - and not so "trimmed down" like Android. It is also much easier to develop for this OS (it is based on the Qt Framework not a Java VM).

I would LOVE for a meego build on our desire hd..if someone can make it happen, that would be crazy awesome

My previous mobile is N900 and I still keep it. Maemo/MeeGo is very good OS and it is a shame that is not already mature system. There are some very good ideas and implementations in it.
So it will be very useful for everyone to have a possibility to have a port of MeeGo on his mobile.
Cheers.

I've made a huge step forward when I used the kernel from the Ubuntu build for the Desire HD ( [DEV] Booting Ubuntu nativ!!! )
But the UI doesn't work yet - there is a crash because no sound hardware is present/working ( https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11367 )

We can also use android apps look here http://www.gsmarena.com/alien_dalvik_will_let_you_run_android_apps_on_the_nokia_n9-news-2813.php
Will be awesome if we have meego on our dhd

Dude i think you're awesome for trying to get MeeGo working on our DHDs!
Don't forget, xda is a developers forum so there are plenty of awesome people around the Dev section that could help you if you need. I suggest you maybe open a thread in the General section or Dev section and get things moving because this would be awesome.

+1 Open a thread on development section, i'am sure that someone will get into this, because they don't see Q&A very often, you will find a team and the progress will go faster.
Good work to you and all others who will help you!

Any news here?

I've a working rootfs, but the default UI rather ugly and there is absolutely nothing that is usable in the current state (touchscreen is working so the only thing you can do right now is to open the application menu - which is really slow, because there is no hardware acceleration - and run the qt demo application; wifi is not tested; there is no possibility for text messages or phone calls)
I might upload the rootfs after my "school diploma" (and the following party), but I doubt you want to use it.
The next step is to get the hardware rendering to work, but this seems to be almost impossible.

This would be really nice. It's such a shame that Elop won't be continuing the development of MeeGo at Nokia.

It is possible.
I had seen videos on Youtube Meego installation.
So I have to Meego Desire HD can be installed on it was discovered.
But I do not know how to do that.

Are you talking about this video?
I uploaded it a few months ago, but the port hasn't improved since then.
The major issue is that there is no open-source driver for the GPU.
But it is really easy to get the software rendering: Just follow the steps on the first page

android is better than MeeGo~

[Q] Windows Phone 7 ROM???

Hey, man i am on a posting ROLL this week , but hey im in the rom creator mood, i was wondering if the community would be interested in a windows phone 7 rom? I am also making other ROMs (Spark Sensation and Touch Sensation, both BETA) and figured what the heck why not try! So, all comments and questions are welcome! Thanks in advance!
(Edit: June 11, 2011)
Major issue on developement! My PC has a horrible virus and ate through my system, therefore, developement is haulted, I apologize for the inconvienience!

like a real windows phone 7 rom or just themed? a real one would be great haha

Standalone
Standalone ROM dude, with the zune like player, contacts, UI, etc. I am going to try an make it as Windows-Phone-7-ish as possible!!! Im going to call it Android's Window 7.1 ! and as i make major updates it will go up to 7.2 , 7.3, etc.! but thanks for your input! really needed it!

that, good sir, would be EPIC!

Even if people didn't want it... I'd say why not!
Do it for science!
...
But people do want it.
...So do it anyways!

Would be cool to have it launched from an sdcard, the way windows mobile devices could lauch Android. Although dual boot with flashed to /system WP7 would be also great.
I know there's a way to install Ubuntu or other Arm Linux on Android phone, but unfortunately it didn't work on mine

Would really help my wife out after she came to Android from using Windows Mobile for a loooong time.

Great, workin on it now and open to all who want to try! Also I am putting up a website soon (its already up but there is pretty much nothin on it - bfgdevelopers.webs.com) the only thing I have to do is find a way to sign it (tried zipsigner 2 and signapktic from the market but the rom won't flash after signing (shakin my head) ) so be looking for it on here and on the site! Thx for the support guys

I'm actually pretty stoked to see how this turns out! I kinda didn't think it was possible, haha.

I would use it... that would be sick, props to u if u make it work

I'd try it out if you got it to work. Now, are you talking about a version of Windows Phone 7 ported to the Slide? Or just android with a windows phone 7 skin?

i would def be down to try it. sounds really neat. i use launcher7 occasionally but it tends to get laggy. also, one thing i dont like about wp7 launchers in general is they tend to use list view for the app drawer which is super annoying when you have 30 or more apps.

[Q] Linux Dualboot from Asus TF700 to Ouya possible?

Hi all.
I just created this thread to see discuss along with others the possibility of getting Ubuntu running in the Ouya based on the fact that there is already a port to do so for the Asus TF700 Infinity which has the virtually the same hardware.
More information about what has been done for the Asus TF700:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014759
Would it be possible to use the work already done to get this port ready?.
I am not a gamer so I am looking forward to use an Ouya as a low power / low consumption multipourpose server.
Opinions???.
Pros./cons.???
Work ahead???
Best regards.

Hi all.
Someone has already been able to run Debian in an Ouya.
The instructions allows you to create an USB stick that will be Debian functional after Fastboot-ing it.
The installation is buggy, but is works quite well.
I guess is the first step to have Debian in the Ouya.
I tested the procedure and works. :laugh:
I cannot paste external links yet because I'm too new in xda-devs site, so if some moderator/administrator wants to fix it, please do so. I guess it a quite important notice.

I think you can run native Ubuntu on the Ouya as the hardware is pretty close to the Nexus 7 8GB. I have started to look at this a little myself figuring i would try to load the Nexus 7 build onto the Ouya to see what happened.
I personally would like to see an Openelec release for the Ouya..
Instructions for Ubuntu are in the Nexus 7 XDA forum.

Hi, thanks for the tip.
I would like to see that too...
There is another intermediate point that would be to have some light Ubuntu (xubuntu/lubuntu) and install the xbmc/vdpau support and that would do the trick. In fact would be more flaxible from my point of view than having Openelec.
I do run Xubuntu+XBMC for AMD Fusion and works pretty well and is not that close than Openelec.
What do you think?.
Best regards.
