According to this link:
http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/2008-01-13-android-google_N.htm?csp=34
a company named:
www.a-la-mobile.com
has ported ( or at least built ) Google Andriod to work on a QTek 9090. And you know what that means ?!
Researching their website they do not list a press notice or have any link directly to state that such a build exists, but I highly doubt a new outlet like USA Today would say that if it weren't demonstrated somehow.
Anyone know any more of this company, and how to possibly get a build of Android for us to test ?
Very soon Android will be here for almost HTC devices
http://www.a-la-mobile.com/news/press/pr080114.html
WoWowwwoooowwww
I have a pda2k alias htc blueangel alias qtek 9090
I alredy installed linux on my pda, compile kernel, lib, openmoko, qtopia, angstrom, etc...
'cause android is based on linux kernel, android work on this device with very simple steps(theoretically).
I think, for example, with hh kernel (touch, wireless, power etc..) android is possible!!
guys... please post on this forum all informations about this device and android.
Sorry for english!
Android on BA
Here:
http://www.a-la-mobile.com/news/press/pr080114.html
AAAAAAHHHH!!! YEEEESSSSS!!!!
The question remains
Since a-la-mobile mentioned that there are some "enhanced" applications of their own making, on the build they demonstrated ( curious there are no pictures posted ANYWHERE ), is there ever an intention of releasing this. The issue is that all this Android stuff is out under the Apache license, and though IANAL, my understanding is that they can do this, close it down, make someone (shudder) pay for this (mostly open source) software.
I forwarded an email to their press contact asking them specifically what their intentions for this build are. Letter follows:
Hello Ms. Gong,
I'm writing to you as an inquiry as to the reported build of Android for the QTek9090 ( aka HTC BlueAngel ) Windows Mobile phone. As I understand it from the press release, despite being built on an Android bsae, the application stack with this build is one of your own companies making ?
I'm a member of a rather large community of developers, some in your company sure have heard of xda-developers ( www.xda-developers.com ). For the most part we're developers, trying to get the most out of our hardware's capabilities.Though I'm sure there might be business concerns which may preclude answering, I'd like to pose some questions, which hopefully some at least, a-la-mobile would be able to comment on publicly. My questions are as follows:
1. Is a-la-mobile's interest in this solely as a "proof-of-concept" exercise, as hinted at in the press release ? If so, is there any intention of releasing this build to the development community ( even as a solely binary distribution ) for evaluative purposes ?
2. Is a-la-mobile's direction to possibly produce a commercially available ( to the consumer ) release of this build or some similarly comprised build of Android-based software ? If so, do you have some sort of release date or formal product announcement planned ?
3. Are there any product demonstration videos, demonstrating this accomplishment available for public viewing ?
Thank you for your kind attention, I look forward to your response.
Regards,

They are a ${dotcom} company and need to produce some buzz for a ${VC} to be happy ?
Hi! Do you have any news on that?
still no news on this??
Isn't there anyone around here that heard of some more details?
I guess, lots of people must be looking for this solution, and want to reproduce what a La Mobile did earlier? I tried contacting them, without any response (so far), but someone must have been doing similar stuff, getting one of the 'good old BA kernels', and running the SDK provided stuff on it?
Or am I so wrong in thinking this stuff is peace of cake...?
I just want to get this post the most attention possible, and gather everyone around, to speed up doing similar stuff...
Thanks for reading, and for posting your thoughts and ideas on this...
If anyone can help, please do We'll all benefit of it
A la Mobile responded, here's a copy of the mail they sent me:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Bram,
Thank you for your interest in a la Mobile's Android-based prototype
phone stack.
You're absolutely right -- we have received a multitude of requests for
our stack and/or device. Unfortunately, until Google releases the
Android source code, we are not able to distribute either due to their
licensing agreement restrictions.
Best regards,
Margie
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So it basically comes down to the fact that google didn't release any sources yet... or did they? I can't follow anymore..
If google does, and I get an answer they did, I will ask a-l-m again, and we'll see from there
Anyone any other successtories to post?
Any news on this subject? nudge them again!!! I need to get rid of this M$ bullcrap
Before I annoy them again with the resend and requestioning about freeing their roms and sources, just a question:
Is the Google Android code 'Open Source' and released as such, already.
I'm not into this too much, and I don't have that much time.
Maybe someone knows already, has been looking through it.
I know there's an SDK released, but is the source released under some GPL, Apache, or other open license model too???
If so, let me know, and if possible where the statement of this releasing is to be found, so I can start harassing them again
Hoping they will listen, and release the code or a rom-to-be-uploaded so we can all start enjoying open and free software on our beloved devices
Thanks for the support
Bram
Main question, is where did they take the Blueangel kernel sources code. We are working on it at handhelds.org but for example camera support is missing. Else any people can follow guide on Internet " howto extract Android from emulator and run it on linux device", we have already the kernel, so just need to follow the howto and do same.
Good luck , i continue to work on Qtopia or GPE on Blueangel
Regards,
Fabrice
Android booted on HTC BlueAngel
Hallo everybody,
I am new to this forum and my English ist not the very best... Sorry for that.
I am also very interested in running Googles Android on my Qtek 9090 (alias Blue Angel). On searching for available howtos in the Internet I#ve found this Page:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/af897628cf21e455
This Person was really able to boot this Stuff on his Device.
So maybe this is a good starting point!
I will try this out, as soon as I can. (If my wife let me ;-))

It appears a reminder may be in order, about the purpose of the development forum.
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, it's somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to receive.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something.
For example, if you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording) etc...
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing.
What does this mean??

Troubled thread.
11. Don’t post with the intent on selling something.
As an elaboration to rule number 7, don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. If you are the proprietor of a for-pay product or service, you may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or offer support on the product, but you may not make any posts with the primary intent of selling. This includes posting press releases, announcements, or links to downloads for trial software; the only exception to this is when you’re posting an exclusive release to XDA. Off-site downloads are permitted as long as the site does not require a fee or mandatory registration to access the content.

dear 1ceb0x
first of all i want to thank you very much for creating your great rom.
after installing it, it was the first time i had a responsive smartphone.
as we all know, android is open source and as the Apache License states, derived work must be open source, too.
so will you provide a source code repository or (at least) a downloadable zip of your rom sources somewhere?
this is less about obeying the rules, i'm just frightened, something might happen to you so you can't continue working on the rom and all your work would be lost...
he built it from source as in built from scratch
well - sure he built it from source - from HIS sources
this isn't AOSP vanilla, it's a modified version of the android source, so those sources must be republished
>>??
u can use the rom as base just as long he provides permission to do so

sorry, don't want to be offensive, but this is nonsense.
there's nothing to need permission for.
as long as it's an android rom (which it really seems to be), it is work derived from AOSP and there the license clearly points out what I stated.
(see http://source.android.com/source/licenses.html)
and even if it wasn't - this doesn't answer my concerns regarding him not being able (or wanting) to continue development.
wait for 1ce's reply as i dont get what you're sayin (sorry ) :angel::angel:
as for dev. he will sell his v so i think that's the reason he cant continue
:highfive:
when the time comes i will provide my sources. in the meantime, shpongle is yet to see some new updates.

Great to hear this... waiting for update eagerly as i need to give away this after flashing your final rom.
BTW i got my white nexus 4. Hope to see you soon there too...
@rolandkohn don't get me wrong but it's 1ce's decision. He is not forced to release anything because shpongle is a personal project. 1ce built it for himself and was kind enough to share it for free. If he pleases he can also remove the download links and you can't do anything about it. Hence the best approach will be to kindly ask him for source code and not talk about licensing or trying to force his hand. You can take the licensing part with HTC if you want to fight that battle.
ok guys just drop the topic b4 it gets ugly
i first wanted to write this as a personal message, but in the end (as a software developer myelf who wants his licensing terms be cared about), i think this is something important enough for everyone on xda to think about:
please - everyone here - don't get ME wrong...
it's absolutely not that i woud want to force anyone to do something.
as you can see in my first post i was just asking if he would release the source, as i was worried about the future of the project because he's getting a new phone.
for that part, this thread is answered to me. i'm fine with it, no need for further discussion!
now about the licensing part and - as it seems to me, some general misunderstandings here on XDA:
sorry, but you're so wrong. he definitely IS forced to release its source. the apache license (which applies to android) states so. those licenses aren't only about comercial projects, they are about using the original source and doing something with it - You can imagine it as a contract between google and the developer, google gives the sources out for free, but want the terms to be followed in return.
Everyone who is involved into development (and if it's even just using the rom) can be happy, that google is offering android (the open source parts) for free under the apache license. google invested quite some man hours (and money) into android and they've been so kind to let it be open source. anyhow this (the apache license) states that any modification to the source must be made public for everyone (in special the original license holder) to see the changes, to learn from them and to make things in their projects better. if any develper doesn't accept the licensing terms, you don't need to use the sources to do something with them.
btw - it's not my fault that some smartphone manufacturers (e.g. as mentioned htc) don't care about this.

@rolandkohn I can understand that you are afraid that shpongle development might be over since 1ce has bought a new device and that you or anyone else would like to get 1ce sources to continue the development. My reply was about your tone. It would have been better if you asked nicely, instead of being (kind of) rude.
PS: are you sure that the licensing applies to all the projects? For example I am playing with CM sources and I'm building a ROM for personal use. Am I forced to make those sources public? I don't think so.

well - another very big excuse from my side.
i did quite some reading meanwhile and i have to admit - seems i was wrong.
please - everyone excuse me for my aggressive behavior, it seems i somehow mixed GPL/AL. :angel:
as i've read now, you're indeed allowed to even create proprietary work - so software you charge people for - out of AL licensed code.
this means that even HTC & such are fine with not releasing their sources, as long as it's not about GPL licensed stuff (e.g. the kernel).

Attention developers or those just starting out
How do I determine if my work belongs in Original Development?
These are the determining factors:
~The following are most likely “Original Development”:
Official releases of highly original and upstream custom ROMs (built from the ground up with significant original development within them
Official releases/development of such original ROMs, perhaps posted by the maintainer or their nominated person.
A significant “first” in development for a device. Significant is subjective, but it is likely something which took considerable time/effort, and is generally accepted by developers to be significant and non-trivial.
Kernels which are built with beneficial changes that are not simply pulled from other kernels already available. Some element of original work is expected.
Tools and utilities with a clear purpose, and which are well-made, and useful to users. They should have an element of originality, either in purpose or through significant improvement in the means of operation.
Significant port of a ROM from one device to another, giving enhanced features or functionality to users of the target device. The port should be beneficial (a port from two virtually identical devices isn’t original development, it’s winzipping, and nobody really benefits from this, as it’s not development)
~The following are most likely not “Original Development”, and should be posted in the “Android Development” sub forum:
Your own “unofficial” stock build of your favourite original, source-built (or otherwise) ROM, particularly where an official or maintainer-endorsed thread exists already.
Minor derivatives of other ROMs with little or no changes, or ROMs consisting of “placebo” features as a main constituent or claim.
Renames or rebadges of others’ work – these don’t belong on XDA at all! Refer to rule 12 for more information.
Reposts of existing ROMs with small changes (i.e. kitchen work, such as adding a couple of apps). If you could realistically distribute your changes as an “addon pack” above and beyond a ROM, you should do so. In addition, your “ROM” would not be original development as it would be substantially identical to the original ROM.
A thread created with unrealistic goals that are clearly unachievable by those starting the thread. This is not intended to discourage high aspirations, rather to prevent threads porting Windows Phone 8 to the HTC Wallaby. This is pretty much common sense.
A ROM where a main or significant claim/feature is graphical changes to the user interface (ie. Themed ROM)
Forum section rules:
To help keep this forum section tidy and easy to use, here are some rules and guidelines.
Only the following topics are allowed in the DEVELOPMENT area:
[DEV] - Development for any projects or Apps.
[ROM] - Custom ROMs.
[KERNEL] - Custom Kernels.
[MOD] - Hack & Modifications for the phone. (See below for more details)
[FIX] - Fixes for known issues & bugs.
[R&D] - Research & Development for Devs only, when gathering data for a new projects.
Please keep all non Development relevant chatter out of development threads, It is recommended to make a separate thread in the Q&A section for non Development related comments and questions, valid replies within a development thread are: BUG Reports, Problem, Troubleshooting Steps & Logs.
Note: If you are unsure where your new topic should go, then please post it in General.
For more information on the Original Android Development section check out this portal post
All kinds of Best Rom/Kernel/etc threads are unwelcome and they will be closed. Read, research and make your own mind up, as the question is very subjective.
Please Include Screen Shots for ROM / MOD / THEME / Apps & Games, when possible as it's expected by our members.
[MOD]'s that are primarily theming related or simply adjust stock application or framework functionality or behavior belong in the themes and apps section rather than the development section.
Unmodified Stock ROM and Source Codes does not count as a DEVELOPMENT project unless it's part of an active project you have already started, and so should be posted in the general section.
Placeholder threads posted in the development section will be removed or moved.
Howto's and Guides should be posted in the general section.
Password must be provided for all password protected files.

A really useful feature I've stumbled on from within the app, is direct Web search of any highlighted text, ...works with translation also.

Log-in Issues Logging in the app
Login to XDA in Default Mobile browser.
Change your password if it's been a while,
older passwords have been causing issues with the app.
Download the app.
Open app
Tap Get Started.
Tap LOG IN
Tap Authorize
Select Just Once has worked best for me.
That should be it.
Two-factor issue
Browser issue
Troubleshooting Sign-in
If log-in fails and you are seeing 2 apps to choose from like this.
Spoiler: Screenshot
Try selecting the 2nd app, it may take several tries before log-in is successful.
If sign-in fails and you selected Always, you will need to go to settings/apps and remove Open by default setting.
If the app will not stay open or gets stuck, try rebooting the device.
If you can not log in, try selecting the guest option and sign in inside the app.

For anyone looping at the "Authorize" part of the login process...
Basically clear the app defaults, then login, Authorize then pick one of the "Xda app" to open. Do not set as default just yet. If it loops back, login again, this time pick the other "xda app". It should log you in.
