So this is kind of a concept question. I have a Macbook Pro and I was wondering if there is a way to run linux off a usb flash drive or external hard drive and still be able to build android roms from inside that "os"? The reason I ask is I was just kinda wanting to get into devving, but I don't want to partition my hard drive for Ubuntu or something...
I think I saw a XDA news portal post on this yesterday.

Do you mean this? http://www.xda-developers.com/android/build-cm10-1-or-aokp-with-ease-on-mac-os-x/
I saw this, that's what made me think about devving... but someone told me it's best and less complicated if I do it in linux...
I tried deving once. I never learned which OS was best to us. I was originally told Ubuntu, but some devs are all eww towards it.
I never understood the terminal shortcut though. Wasn't good with that. I also had trouble with what to type in. Kept getting errors, then I gave up. Planned to learn soon.

Oh haha I thought you were a dev now?? You make nice CDMA ports haha well I'm feeling very unmotivated lol

From searching around I believe our phone uses the 72k right. So is a open psjailbreak port doable for this phone? Why or why not? Thanks

Thanks for bringing this to my attention! I wasn't aware the recent PS3 hack was related to 72k otherwise I might have an answer for you already.
In the event that you're still around at this moment: what does the jailbreak do, exactly? Does it unlock NAND or does it give us ring 0 access?

Nevermind - I misunderstood your question. I thought you meant that this exploit somehow allowed us to access our bootloader, but CR made me realize that you just want to be able to use the Slide to exploit the PS3? Bah, sorry, not interested personally. Not sure why using a flash drive is so difficult
EDIT: if you can't use a flash drive then I'm sorry. If I had a PS3 to test this I might be bored enough to port it, but I'm not. Also, Sony already released a new mandatory firmware upgrade that defeats this exploit, so if you want to play games on PSN, you're screwed.
yea im waiting for usb to arrive, that is not my problem just thought it would be cool to be able to use my phone. as well the firmware update checks can be bypassed with a simple change of dns adress or with a proxy tool. just wondering why it could or couldnt be ported. i am new to android but love my rooted slide. would like to learn more about the community and if someone decides to port i may not be much help but would like to be involved in the process just for the learning experience

effort in > advantage out, meaning that the amount of work to port this isn't worth it to most of us just for a 'coolness' factor.
that PS3 hack is going to ruin the PS3, just wait and see. Sony won the lawsuit against the AUS companies, just a matter of time before they win against the USA companies and the bans start rolling out.
glad I sold my PS3 and gave up on games a long time ago.
The PS3 jailbreak will only support the PSP & USB flash drive and that's it. Im guessing you own one of those right?
There are custom built kernels and roms for the jailbreak already for the nexus one, milestone, dream and various other devices including a TI-84 calculator version.

Sorry, haven't been up to date with Andro, been busy with school lately...Just saw this article http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/05/ps3-jailbreak-adapted-to-nokia-n900-palm-pre-in-wake-of-austral/
Hope dumfuq can implement this for us too.
yes im interested in this too... i was looking at the source to try and compile it with slide kernel but it was confusing haha ill leave it to the pros.....
Has anyone tried to port Android1.6 to the incredible?
Is it even possible?
If no one has, I'd like to give it a shot! I think I have my pc set up for building from source and for porting, just finished with all the downloads and installs with ubuntu 10.10, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
killing in the name of...
Why would you want to port Android 1.6? That's 10 steps back from 2.2 ...
I know, just wanted to see if it was possible, and to see what I could do with it if I was able to port or build.
killing in the name of...
On top of that. My g/f likes my dinc, but she says its too confusing for her, but when I had a MOTO devour, she loved that phone. So I was thinkin that if I could make a custom 1.6 Rom for her, she wouldn't have to steal my phone anymore and turn around and complain about not being able to work it!!

1. Probably not possible based on the hardware specifics and apis needed.
2. Why even waste the time? Just date a girl who isn't so stupid that she can't work a drop dead simple OS with a UI layer that makes it even EASIER.

Oooooooook.... thanks for the insight.
I see your point, but do you really have to be a **** about it?

If you're looking for a simple-ish rom try MIUI. It's slightly buggy, but I've used it as my daily since Novemeber 2010. It is visually influenced by iOS so it is possibly more simple to use, but it still offers all the benefits of Android.
Yea, ok. I've used miui before! That may actually work for her, thanks.
It's been about 2 or 3 months since I flashed it, what are the latest fixes and kernel?

How about loading ADW Launcher and making her a super simple 2 or 3 screens with everything she would need then locking the screen?

Lol came out a year and a few months after I was born.

If you do pull off getting Donut to work on the Inc, I would certainly try it out. I wasn't around for the earlier days of Android and would like to try it out first hand .

why not take 5 minutes and show her how to use the phone? **** even my dad is learning how to use my phone and he still uses a flip phone. convinced him to wait for the Inc2. never thought I'd see the day he used a smartphone. never in a million years. He a construction worker with huge hands, you should be able to teach her what she needs. It's not too hard to distinguish the phone button and stuff like that HTC Sense is made to be simple. just not idiotproof like the iCrap. Good luck.
Teaching her to use this phone is like teaching a 2 yr old quantum physics, and this time she won't even try. I told her there's not really any difference in operating between 1.6 and 2.2 but she just.....don't......get it, and I give up.

Given that they update weekly, quite a lot. It's running GB now, and has incorporated things such as app/system backup, a simple file explorer (with ftp-server functionality) and quite a bit more. The chinese devs created an english side to their site and posted a youtube video of the newest generation. Can't post links yet, but go to youtube and search for "MIUI ROM 7th closed beta version" and it'll pop right up.
3.2 in AOSP, will anyone make a Rom?

i believe that is only for tablets, i may b wrong, and that doesnt look to be the full source for 3.2 so it wouldnt work for our evos.
Yup, it's a start, but still need to wait for the full source to get any really good ports going. It might be possible to run on a phone, but poster above me is correct that it's made for tablets.
I know we had some SDK ports around here, but I don't remember them being more than a proof of concept and not a daily driver kind of deal.
Honestly I don't think we will ever see this. We might get some themes for the look but the overall guts probably not.
I don't remember what tablet it was(Samsungs maybe) but the bounty is/was $400+ to get it to function as a phone about 6 months ago and I don't think it's happened. This would be roughly the same concept here too.
My mind is a complex and weird thing and I was just thinking windows 8 has a version to run on ARM CPUs so... I'm sure that it would require soff but do you think it is possible?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
No expert, however I think this is pretty much the same as WP7 on our devices, which so far has never been done.
Suppose they did get Linux running, but Android is built on Linux right

that would be nice..then another thing we could stick the finger to those on the S3 side hehe be nice if we could try a different OS on this beast of a phone
Its not that it cant be done, its because windows is licensed and not open like android/Linux....
So for windows to come onto other devices you would A. need to hack it witch XDA dont support or B. each and every person who installs said rom would have to buy the license key.
Yeah, and Windows for ARM isn't going to be sold retail, only pre-installed with the device.. And drivers and such I guess won't work like regualar windows, just so they can avoid things like this.. But once it's released we will know more. It can probably be done on a completely open device, because a bootloader change is probably needed in the first place, but that can probably be taken from a tegra 3 windows tablet which I bet is coming. Well, I guess time will tell.
ohhh pleasee windows 8
Has anybody tried this?

No. And no one will be, since it has to be implemented by the manufacturer. Ubuntu stated, that they may release source to fiddle with, but they havent until now.

Shame, would be awesome.

Main Problem is, that it would need implementation in the kernel since it runs besides Android all the time and uses the same kernel. I also would like to See a port of this, but since no units with this feature were sold till now , there is no easy way to get hold of the code (sadly)...

yep !
we will see how useful the ubuntu UI will be on phones. hopefully it gets better than the desktop unity crap
also time will tell on which devices ubuntu for phones actually can run.. the guy in the video said it could run on any android device.. i doubt that
but i'm still excited for this.. having it dual boot would be awesome i guess
So it runs alongside Android and when you connect the phone to the PC it turns into an Ubuntu system, sounds neat!

on the ubuntu homepage i the phone section there is a page where is a part where you can see what are the things which have to have the phone ...the "min" and "max" and our phone will run it good because of enough memory and good cpu ...just wait...at first they will make it avaiable on the nexus 4 and after a while for other
They will post development images for the galaxy nexus (not N4) which can be ported to other phones The whole thing already runs on an android kernel which should speed up the porting a little. I'm going to follow this closely though, especcially the thin client function looks neat. We have some BYOD rules and what we basically do is just RDP in from out own docked laptop instead of an availible thin client. With this I could just dock my phone and start working.

I know it's off topic but there is Desktop installer for Nexus 7 since the chipset are the same maybe we can run it on HOX as well

Its too far to touch at this moment.

if you read through the steps, it asks you to flash a boot.img, which certainly wont work for us.
Sorry to interrupt you but...
On Ubuntu... Runs... The... SOURCE ENGINE EVEN FASTER THAN UNTER WINDOWS AND THE RELEASES ARE NEARLY THERE.

It's a really nice idea but you'll lose the functionality of a phone and it was pretty damn hard to use on a 7 inch screen running in gnome.
Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ubuntu for nexus 7 require repartitioning? If that's the case then there's no way it would work for most of us.

You're wrong and wrong....
This is made to run on a linux/android kernel..... Which should translate into an easy move..... Plus its made for mobile...
It is a mobile OS so why would we lose mobile features.
Plus as this is for mobile... It won't be hard to navigate as everything is scaled and repositioned.
