Can someone port this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974481

This would be cool.
Shouldn't be much of a problem because the hardware of the wildfire s is pretty much the same as this phone

*Prays a dev takes on this project*
im a total noob to development but i decided i would at least give it a stab.
but looking into the build.prop, it looks like its not going to be easy to port. the build.prop is saying its for an hdpi phone "ro.product.locale.language=hdpi"
im going to continue playing around in the kitchen and see what happens though
Edit: Im not sure why it said hdpi there. looking at the build.prop on cyanogenmod in says 'en' which made more sense since that line looked more like language. still unsure what im looking at though :/ lol

Awesome that you are trying!
We got yer back.
The wildfire's res is 240x320 which is QVGA, not the same like our phones.
So it is like the htc tattoo which was hard to port since the res was lower than the 320x480 used at that time.
Yes the OG Wildfire is QVGA but the Wildfire S is HVGA...actually the Wildfire S is almost the same phone as ours but without the keyboard. Same res and same processor (if I remember correctly).

interesting.
Is it possible to get htc flash lite frameworks from Wildfire S and mix it in CM7? That would be the best ROM ever. I don't need Sense ui, all I want is flash as it used to be back on 2.1 stock fw
no progress...i was going to work on it this morning at work (slow day) but linux is not booting after the update i got last night (dual boot). so instead im reconfiguring my computer and re-setting up ubuntu
I'm patient.
There's another hvga/same hardware phone out. Its called the htc salsa, I believe it has android 2.4 sense. It would be cool to get that rom

Yeah it has FB button plus same specs as us...Excluding addition of BT 3.0 instead of 2.1(corr if MTS has 3.0 BT).
Yes but that one won't be out for some time since 2.4 won't be released til May. The Wildfire S Rom is out now and is based off 2.3.2 AND has Sense 2.1 on board. It'll be a huge source for things to use in Sense and Non Sense Ginger Roms. Plus Wildfire S is supposed to launch with 2.4 as well.
Finally got linux running on my pc again and had to start porting (attempting) from scratch. I did everything i could think of then signed and flashed it. Good news is, it installed. Bad news is that got boot loops. I'll work a little more with it and do some more research and see if any progress can be made.

If you need testers...I'm in...ya may want to post a thread in our dev forum for this?
Just a thought.
I'm excited now.
Dont get too excited. i need to get the rom to boot first lol. If i get it booting, then i'll upload it and people can test if they want. But im hoping a dev with porting experience can help me out. Im a self taught noob rom porter
Thx for the encouragement though

Houston, we have lift-off! I got it working! Testing everything right now to see what works and what doesnt. Only drawback is that HTC has a watermark that is constantly on the screen. It doesnt make it impossible to see what your doing, its just annoying. Will make sure thats one of the first things to be fixed.
Does the sense launcher work in landscape mode now?

Alright guys and girls, I've been playing around with webtop on my Atrix and want to put Ubuntu in chroot on my a100. Would a torial for an A500 suffice for this purpose?
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
I've thought about trying it myself but never got around to it, I would say one for the a500 would world but you may need another xorg.conf file
Let us know if you get it working and ill do the same

This would be a valid solution:

I've gotten it working using Ubuntu Installer from the market. It works fairly well, I can't get my resolution sorted properly yet, but I am pleased with it!

I've got linux installer an only was able to get debian working all the ubuntu options so far won't )apt-get update( keep getting errors dealing with the repositories x.x I know nothing of debian an i have a netbook running 11.10 an rather have 11.10 running on the tablet to see how well unity really does work on it <,<
Ubuntu Installer comes with a premade image to download. Im not sure what version it js, but I am fairly certain its not 11.10...

The only ubuntu installer i know of for android is on the market an it strangely shows my a100 as uncompatible... Do i need to get a hold of the latest update avail for the tablet?
It is Ubuntu Install Guide by zpwebsites
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
I tried doing this , (not using one of the automatic installers on the market) Unfortunately it didn't work, and my guess is because our Kernel for the A100 does not support Loop Devices. (Correct me if I am wrong please) so if that's the case, we have to wait for the the bootloader to get unlocked and compile a custom Kernel with support for it.

What distro of linux is your favorite??? I tried fedora linux for a week and, have tried other distros like openSUSE but, I always come back to ubuntu for some reason ( mostly for the ease of compiling android on it and, also because, I am so used to the interface. So again, what is your favorite distro? Is it one you made your self i.e linux from scratch or is it some other one?
Pinguy OS. It's based on Ubuntu with a bunch of extras added in.

I tried multiple distros in the past year and ran fedora for a bit along with ubuntu and mandriva. Had issues with suse and several others that i didnt bother to troubleshoot. I have deployed several slax machines for public access for work booting from hard drive then running in ram. Old boxes but they run quick. Slax is cool because you can build your own live cd on their site.

I enjoy mint debian but always changing it up. That's one of the beauties I see with linux is that there are so many distros to choose from. Its kinda like all theses roms that we get to choose from.

This is the general section. This has to do with the linux distro you use for compiling android or for generally your favorite distro. I use ubuntu because, its easiest for android compilation. I have seen a lot more off topic posts in the general section then this post.
I've used CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, Fedora... I've tried pretty much every major distribution of Linux. Ubuntu is the most user friendly for those who are new to the OS.

Yeah its a really cool concept. If you find a build you want to run from hard drive shoot me a pm and i will send you the directions i put together.

You should give slackware or gentoo a try!!!
If you are an ubuntu lover and havent been using linux for long, chances are you might have a hard time compiling/using slackware. You have to build all your own software from source. You also need to be real familiar with the command line before you give slackware a try. But it lets you get real familiar with the OS and is a ton of fun! Sometkmes it can get frustrating though! But they say if you wanna learn Ubuntu, use Ubuntu. If you wanna learn debian, use debian. If you wanna learn Linux, use Slackware!

Gentoo. I hear it's the fastest. I'll let you know when I'm done compiling the OS and every application.
...
I run opensuse x64 and Ubuntu x64 on small partitions with a larger data partition for them to share since about 99% of the apps run on both distros it saves me alot of duped apps and install space

I like Kubuntu, just because I can't stand the Unity GUI. I haven't tried it in a while, but I liked Knoppix too. I used it as a live CD for a while, but liked it enough to install it.
Arch /w xfce...after using arch for 2 years I cant understand how ppl can tolerate the bloat and lack of x-environment choice with a pre-built distro.
Plus...over 2 years and still totally stable, rolling release = awesome
Fedora. Always ran RedHat until it was discontinued, then moved to Fedora.

Amen to that my brotha. If you pick the right hardware Arch is the bomb.
Debian is the best all around IMO. Everything works out if the box and its fast. You can install the bare minimum too.
I used to be a gentoo user rep. I always tell people who are interested in learning the Linux platform to do a stage1 install of gentoo first. I think after you complete it, you end up with a good amount of knowledge of how a Linux system works. (Unlike Ubuntu where you learn nothing about the platform)
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I have to go with Arch. Single best distro out there imo. If you are new to linux it can take a little setting up but you can set it up the exact way you want it. My archlinux install looks and feels completely different than my neighbors but they are the same at heart.
Do any of you e4gt owners use ubuntu strictly as your OS?
I want to install this instead of windows (no point in paying for problems)
I understand there is heimsdale (spelling?) in place of Odin.
But what I'm wondering is how much more difficult is it to flash things and such to or phones?

Use Linux Mint. It's based on ubuntu so you get all the same stuff plus a better interface and a better appearance. The cinnamon build is the better one atm imo...
Also, odin/heimdill(sp?) are not necessary. I have run Linux as my os for years and haven't had any problems trying any roms... Where there's a will, there's a way.
Sent from my Super Galaxy'd SPH-D710
I use Linux Mint which is a different distro than Ubuntu but built off of it. I use it as my daily OS on my laptop and love it. As far as Heimdel it's just as easy if not easier than Odin once you know how to use it.
I would suggest a dual boot system as sometimes you just need windows or in case you don't like Linux. Both distros make dual booting fairly easy. Hope this helped some. Good luck!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I use linux on 3 of my laptops.. Kubuntu us nice.. but i prefer PinguyOS.. its a modified ubuntu that i like alot more than mint. just my input
And yeah.. dual boot is the only way to go.. just somethings end up having to be done in windows...

Thanks fellas. I'll definitely be dual booting, i plan on buying another internal hd and running windows off of that.

Heimdall isn't that hard to work. And my spelling is correct
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
heimdall is astounding. Better than Odin. Odin is literally a piece of crap, I'm amazed that people still use it, even on Windows.
I've ran Linux/Android as my main OS for more years than I can remember. These days I use Arch Linux almost exclusively.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk 2
i dont see how odin is crap when it's done it's job correctly every time for me and a lot of other people.
I really tried to like Linux, even with the slick Mint interface, but man, all those archives and issues. Then there's wine and the programs just don't run the same as they do in Windows, just my 2 pennies....
Unbuntu 11 side-loads on our phone nicely..
Don't expect to watch any video or compress large files,
But there is some interesting software that having full Linux can bring to our phone..
It's super slow, but everything works software center and all!

Id avoid Ubuntu. After 11.04 they took alot away and force you to use Unity, that thing is horrid. Stick with Mint.

Not sure what you mean by " all those archives and issues" the learning curve can be a little steep if you've only ever used windows, but if you put the effort to learn basic Linux tasks and terminal commands Linux can be a hell of a lot easier and more useful than windows on a daily basis, additionally IMHO wine is an unnecessary crutch, there is a native linux program for most everything outside of windows based games that is 9 times out of 10 more functional and useful than the windows program you're trying to use. I guess you could say there is no iTunes, but really if you use XDA I would assume you'd be capable of flashing your I pods firmware over to the far superiour rockbox.... so to answer the op's question yes I use Linux, usually ubuntu, as my primary os, heimdall works great but I mostly use mobile Odin... I have a windows 8 and an osx partition as well, neither get much use and windows 8 does not very much impress me...

I suggest dual boot also. If you have the hardware for it, vm is more convenient. Virtualbox suits my needs a large percentage of the time.

I'd like to be able to dual boot AOKP and Ubuntu or whatever is available. I haven't heard much about dual booting the E4GT and I'm not sure it's even possible. Can someone help me out here?

good question op, i was just thinking of doing this myself... the complete linux install app makes it stupid easy, which was somewhat of a disappointment as i was expecting a project! not a bad thing though.. i would recommend going that route
So I've got Ubuntu 12 up and running and it's pretty good. I don't like how I have to connect through a VNC client because it makes the GUI harder to user, but I understand that its the easiest way.
Does anyone know if you can run a working Linux system in place of the Android OS? No dual boot, just Linux only.

How about just set up dual boot in general for when ubuntu phone os comes out for this device and say mozillas boot 2 gecko.... And android...
