Hello all
Does anyone know if it’s possible to run android on the Touch HD and where it can be downloaded from? I would like to give it a try to see if it’s quicker on the net as the wm base is painfully or could it be classed as suicidally slow
Cheers Jez

Have you even searched this forum?
1. Not its not fully functioning.
2. There is no release date.
3. Don't hassle the developers.
Seriously... There are new threads asking for Android on the HD popping up almost every day - why doesn't anybody use the search function? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524898) Or check the wiki? (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneLinux)
See this...
xxx.youtube.com/watch?v=b_vCp7gj7W8
Does this mean something?
maybe it will give you guys some ideas...
I guess there is a way to do this, but maybe need change some codes...
In the PSfreedom wiki I see a lot of devices compatibles yet, including Nokia, Palm and HTC phones.
We need a guy with the knowledge to make this port for the Kaiser, and here is the most probable place to find him!
Port kernel psfreedom on HTC Kaiser
Hello;
I also have a Kaiser with the Kaiser rom CyanogenMod 6 [RLS5.2] and kernel-kaisimg panel2-240x320-2.6.32-tilt-froyo-02-09-10_16.nbh.
But when I try to load the module with "insmod psfreedom.ko su", you get an error "insmod: can not insert 'psfredom.ko': invalid module format".
I wonder if someone could not compile a kernel with the module in order to load the module to the application.
a developer want to try?
How much of the source is device specific?
Very little is device specific, you basically need to implement two very small functions, the problem is getting these two functions to work!
[edit] How hard is it to port it to a new device ?
The device specific code is separated from the core so it’s quite easy, there are mainly two functions to write, one to get and one to set the USB address.. two other functions that only return some static result depending on the configuration of the controller (the name of the endpoints, and whether the controller supports high speed or full speed mode). The real problem is that some controllers can be tricky and may not work as you would expect...
Read the README file provided with PSFreedom, and check the psfreedom_machine.c file for specifics on what to implement.
[edit] How can I port it to a new device ?
First, you need to figure out what controller your device uses, in the case of the N900, it’s ‘musb’, you can use the ControllerList to help you, if it doesn't, then extend it!
Then go to the driver code for that controller (probably in drivers/usb/gadget) and look for ‘SET_ADDRESS’. In the case of musb, it was in drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget_ep0.c. In there it was setting the address to the USB device, so just copy that code into the psfreedom_machine.c to allow setting the address, and add a similar function to be able to retreive the address.
Then add a function to return 0 or 1 depending on whether the controller supports HIGH, FULL or LOW speed mode (go to usb_gadget_register_driver for your controller, and in the first lines, it should validate the speed argument, it will tell you which ones are acceptable), set LOW speed mode to return TRUE only if FULL and HIGH speeds are both unavailable.
Finally, add a function to return the endpoint names.. it will usually be something like ‘epXin’ and ‘epXout’ (where X is the endpoint number), or “epXin-bulk”, etc.. look at how the driver initializes its endpoints or grep for “->name” in the file to find where it sets it… If the controller you are porting to doesn't have an endpoint matching the endpoint description requested, then you are allowed to return a different endpoint as long as you properly modify the endpoint description to set the bEndpointAddress to the correct address address of the new endpoint (but you still have to respect the direction of the endpoint of course!)

://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=FAQ
I spent some time working on this. I am sure it is possible.
I think there are two things that would have to happen.
1. A custom kernel. - I know there are a few things that must be disabled in the kernel. ADB USB Functionality, USB Mass Storage Functionality, Tethering, and on some devices WiFI. (I forget where I read that these must be disabled, but I did read it)
2. Changes to the code.
I am no expert at this, I think I am proficient at doing SOME things. I created a zImage last night. I know I am missing something tried to create a custom NBH and put it on my kaiser no go.
So, think I'll be spending more time on this. Anyone had any luck working on this at all?
UPDATE:
I did some pocking around, this is what I found in msm72k_udc.c for the closest thing to SET_ADDRESS (It was USB_REQ_SET_ADDRESS)
Code:
writel((ctl.wValue << 25) | (1 << 24), USB_DEVICEADDR);
I will be honest unsure if this is the driver for the controller due to the fact that on the device the usb driver is msm_hsusb. However, I tend to be wrong more than I am right so....
This phone is capable of it i'm sure. I just tried every other psfreedom releases and experienced different behaviours with each one of them. Though i know that zImage needs to be modified. I'm no programmer so i can't really help anyone with this.
So let's hope someone work something out.
OK I think It is not the msm72k but the msm_hsusb, when you look at the device it shows that in the usb driver folder.
Based on the psfreedom site is "in progress". Hopefully someone smarter than I is working it bc dont think Ill get far.
i'm looking for a tytn2 port too! Thanks for all of you that's working for it.
sugestion...maybe put this thread as an official for psfreedom kaiser info?
thanks!
diamond port finished http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Raphael
this version can help for kaiser porting?
Yep as far as i know this is a good start...
Hi guys just passing by to show you something...
http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Supported_Devices
This android port works with kaiser as you can see in the compatibility table.
Is there anyone who's able to modify zImage for us?
I think we're getting close. The only problem so far is the usb driver.
Come on guys you can do it!

There is someone working on the msm_hsusb usb driver yes.
Let's wait and see
I think the usb on kaiser working.. mean someone tell me it work on linux.. but in WXP can it fork too I think.. someone can use usb on W7 x64. But I can't get it work there...
Can anyone tel me how get it fully work on W7 x64? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Kaiser Ion using XDA App
come on guys, u can do it!!!!!
Is still on development?, or nobody will continue?, its a shame, kaiser is very usefull on android Roms, maybe is not that easy to port.
By te way, is a port for HERO on the wiki, and kaiser runs several roms from Hero smartphone, is this useful?
http://wiki.psfreedom.com/wiki/Device_compatibility_list
Regards.
msm_hsusb is just an other driver for the MSM72K controller, which is used in older kernels.

I think so but we need a kind soul who can edit zImage for us to boot it with Haret...
Anyone that thinks I may be right should "thank" me for this post...
I see 2 problems keeping development down on this device (Raphael)...
1. Memory mapping has to be done. I see no progress in this area. If I had the proper GUI or even DOS program I might be able to help. Of course, lack of development could be related to...
2. Noone really wants to pay to unlock their phone for development reasons. I can understand hard work, but MTTY and Task2a aren't really all that hard to use.
Thoughts, ideas, complaints?
Are you talking about flashing to NAND?
A few RHOD devs have started it, and it seems BLAC has picked up a new kernel dev and they have it booting to about he same state as all GSM RHOD's (no service..)
I would like to see NAND on all devices, but in reality a dev with each device needs to take up the cause... No dev with a RAPH has tried AFAIK. I would certainly love to facilitate any flow of knowledge necessary from the RHOD NAND project. I'm certainly not a developer on the project, but I do help with testing and I work closely with the devs (as closely as I can )
I am speaking of putting it on NAND. Seeing as we have squeezed an entire install plus data and apps onto a Kaiser, I'm fairly sure we could get a working build pretty quickly if someone could port the Kaisers kernel and change the memory map.
I propose this...
1st partition for kernel, no more than 5mb in size. The kernel we use on the Kaiser is only 3,092kb, so this would fit even if we had to add anything to the kernel such as accelerometer support and FM radio drivers.
2nd partition for /system files, just to keep it relatively close to the kernel partition. This one could be set to 128mb to allow the larger builds room to "breathe". Also, the extra drivers needed for the extra hardware will need room, hence partition size increase.
3rd partition will need 32mb for /cache. One of the drawbacks to running Android on the Kaiser was that if anything failed and the phone crashed, you would lose data. This was mostly due to having a live cache partition built inside the /data partition.
Scooter1556 has found a way to make a 20mb partition using part of the /data partition. Yes we lose 20mb out of 110, but the gains in stability and data integrity are well worth it, and newer builds of Android require a 30mb cache partition.
4th partition for /data. Do the math; could you fill 347mb of data on your WM6.1-6.5 phone? Not music, not movies, actual data? Apps from the Market, your contacts, text messages (if you save them), and anything else related to data? I couldn't, but that might be from running a phone with 40-50mb available for data...
I might be pissing in the wind but I think it's quite possible to do, just don't see much demand for it.

If you're willing to do it, so be it. It's just not easy and there aren't many devs with the device - I think everyone (well, mostly everyone) would prefer to be rid of WinMo and just boot Android... but that's a big task, converting from HaRET...
After doing some much needed research, I found out something..
The HTC Dream/G1 uses the EXACT same processor, GPU, LPDDR RAM, phone controller, BT, WiFi and GPS module as the Raphael.
Whats missing, you ask?
A trackball and memory map to match. The Raphael actually has better specs than the G1 and I see cooks building roms based on 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) for that device.
There are a few extra keys on the keyboard which need mapping (swipe from HaRet version, maybe?), and the trackball would have to be converted to a D-pad. Everything else matches!
May not even need to build a kernel, the HTC Dream Dev edition has their ROMs' and radios online... I already downloaded them and will play more tomorrow.

Good luck. I'm not sure that stuff is identical & translatable directly, but have at it - just be careful, when playing with NAND there's very special portions of the memory that you should not touch, lest you have a brick.
Again, MTTY is not very hard to negotiate, and since the processor is similar to the Kaiser I should have no problems there.
I am looking into the "boot.bin" file right now to see where the signatures are and to see if there are "way points" for the memory mapping.
Will report back soon but I also need to grab the memory map from the WM6.1/6.5 build ROMS, so it could be an all-day affair...

Got the memory mapping done, just have to figure out how to post to the kernel and figure out how to CID unlock without PAYING for it...
Memory map as follows:
Code:
457.75M (0x1c9c0000) DSK1:
| 3.12M (0x31f000) Part00
| 4.50M (0x480000) Part01
| 126.50M (0x7e80000) Part02
| 323.63M (0x143a0000) Part03
I wish l1q1d and scoot were looking, this is about as far as I will get without help.
Raphael & G1 screens

Does the G1 also have the same screen than the Raphael? That could help fixing the "never sleep" problem that arrrghhh said on this discussion.
Different screen but same exact GPU...
Dream G1 is 320x480 @ 16BPP 180.9 Dot pitch and uses Qualcomm Adreno 130.
Raphael is 480x640 @16BPP 290.3 Dot pitch and uses Qualcomm Adreno 130.
The "never sleep" issue is only a command, but that command also slows the core speed of the CPU down to save power as well since the GPU is also controlled by the CPU. The problem with not waking up is because Android has a wierd way of holding the panel command on or off.
P3 Droid (a clock speed mod) had a way to not only overclock but underclock the Droid. In an attempt to port this to the Kaiser it would fall back but never return to full speed, locking the phone up and requiring a soft reset. Once I restored my build back to normal it went back to a somewhat normal operation (back then we still had kernel issues and alot of other bugs).
What I need now is a full phone unlocker for thr Raphael that doesn't require an IMEI number... anyone have one?...

So for that (among many other) reason(s) you can't just plop a G1 kernel onto our devices and expect it to work. I would think that anything that can be borrowed, has been. I know they look at that device, the Hero, and I believe the Sapphire... Not sure what others, maybe Tattoo?
I don't think there's a single Android phone with these paltry RAM/CPU specs and such a high-resolution screen. I think that may be one of the reasons graphics are so poor, it has to work so much harder to render!

You mean more than just HSPL...?
Yes, more than HSPL... I need to CID unlock the phone because even with "unsigned" roms they can't flash. I'm guessing the phone is looking for that CID, and if it either isn't there or doesn't match it will not flash.
I tried using HTC's diagnostics SD from the Artemis and Hermes, neither worked because the CID doesn't match, even after I stripped the CID identifier from the diagnostics tool.
Will dig in more tonight, 2 days on this so far and I'm burnt...lol.

Yea, always a good idea to take a break and hit it fresh another time.
As for the CID unlock, I'm not sure I can help you with that - first because I don't know how, and second if it's illegal.. don't ask on this site .
CID unlock is only a "security" lock from a manufacturer to keep people from flashing the wrong rom to their device, IE flashing a Diamond rom to the Raphael.
If I had it unlocked, I could try flashing the original Dream bootloader for 1.6 to the Raphael. If I brick it I can get it back through MTTY and OEMSPL.
BTW,
the screen resolution and DPI is set in the kernel BEFORE any boot even takes place. If someone had enough "cahones" to mess with it in HEX editor they could find the values and change them to 480x640 16BPP 290DPI.

Heh. All you dude, you seem to have all sorts of cahones .
Keep it up, RAPH users need hope like this .
Sorry guys and gals, been way too busy in MTTY trying to unbrick my secondary Kaiser... Almost done though. Will also be able to CID unlock the Raphael with this as well.
What I need is to see how much interest there would be in developing a custom-compiled OEMSBL for the Raphael, possibly crossing over to other phones.
I would want to use either the LK Pistachio or, for obvious reasons, the newer OLK4 v3.0 MicroKernel, to be used to run the Dream/Magic bootloaders and at least Android 1.6, or even "cupcake" for that matter.
There is enough development in the Dream G1 forum to run with after that.
WHO WANTS IN?
There is enough documentation on the MSM7201A and MK to do this, I just don't have the compiling skills in Linux to do it. Matter of factly, there's not too much difference between the MSM7201A and the 7200A, being they are the same family but different build processes (65nm vs 90nm, i believe), AT commands are the same via what I've gleaned from their respective build sheets (I have both in .pdf format).
Hope I get some help because if I don't phones will be installed in teeth by the time I get done with it...lol.
I just realized something...
The memory map for the Kaiser is similar in the fact that OEMBL (microlinux) goes into PART 0, the kernel (nand install) goes into PART 1, /system can go into PART 2 and /data can go to PART 3 with a 30mb /cache partition at the beginning or end.
I need help porting this, changing the Kaiser kernel to read CNG_003 and remapping memory. The only other thing would be getting the proper drivers for the D-pad (non-touch, never liked that anyway), the screen size is a non-issue since whatever you feed it it will display, at least thats how it works on the Kaiser...

Nice! I like seeing posts like this .
Have you talked with any of the folks on #htc-linux or #xdandroid? There's usually someone there that's knowledgeable and can help. Not always, but usually .
Here's what I've figured out so far...
Since no "open-source" CID unlock tool exists for this phone, noone can unlock it's capabilities by using Android to it's full extent. I looked into decompiling a paid unlock tool but I don't have C++ installed on any of my machines just yet. When I do I'll go hunting again.
I would have to create a new rootfs or just use the tinboot with a partition layout similar to what I posted above. The motivation is there, I just lack the tools to do it correctly and efficiently.

Thank you very muchfor the great review zijin_cheng
I have some questions about this great tablet, i would really appreciated if you can answer
what is the available free space in Windows and Android partitions?
Is it possible to remove Android partition and extending Windows partition?
Is there any recovery partition, if yes, how much space is allocated by recovery?
Is it possible to install windows 10 to this tablet?
Is it possible to use WIMBOOT method for more free space?

No problem!
- It started with about 7GB free on Windows, and 4GB free on Android. 13GB total is allocated to the C:\ drive on Windows, and 7GB total for the Android partition.
- At the moment no, but I'm quite sure some resourceful XDAer will figure out a way.
- Yes, its 7GB (5.43GB + 1GB)
- Yes, but I believe that it will be more difficult due to the dual boot nature of this tablet
- I'm not sure, I haven't tried. However, I followed this guide to get more free space (as I also have the Asus T100)
Thank you very much
Nice cross-post from RFD, and great review!!
The Chuwi (and most other tablets like this) use WIMBOOT, where the recovery partition *is* the OS drive, and and changes and patches get saved to the C: to preserve the installation for recovery when needed.
There have been multiple successful attempts to install Windows 10, you need an OTG adapter so you can use a USB stick and a mouse/keyboard. General consensus is it works well, but probably best to wait for a later or full release version. A Google search will find you instructions though if you're looking to
do it immediately.
As for partition removal, I haven't really seen it discussed, but I'm sure there's a utility to nuke the unwanted partitions. Though you could just order the single OS version that only comes with Windows, but that model is missing the microHDMI.
Hello everybody,
just bought this tablet with dual boot. So in case if I want to reinstall the installed windows 8.1, how can I do it? After the reinstall, will the android system still be there?
Thanks
from singleboot to dualboot?
Hi! I also have this amazingly cheap tablet but I ordered it when the dualboot was not in stock.
Now I'm wondering if it is possible to actually make my windows 8.1 table into a dualboot with android.
I have downloaded android x86 and installed it on a partition but I just cant find out how to actually make the UEFI-bios boot from it. Also since I wasnt unable to boot from usb (no matter what settings I changed in the bios) I couldn't install the android system straight off the bootable usb so i installed it on another system and copied the contents to the new partition. I imagine that it wont work even if I actually succeed to make it boot from another partition.
Has anyone tried to install android as a second OS in this tablet? Please tell me how :S
Best regards
Matthew
The HDMI out on this unit, is it strictly mirror, or does it have the ability to show two separate Desktop?

Hey man, I'm believe so, but you have to make sure you choose the correct option when you go into the "factory reset" portion of the tablet itself.

The HDMI out on this unit, is it strictly mirror, or does it have the ability to show two separate Desktop?

So far all the videos of this tablet have only shown mirroring, no extended desktops, but I'm sure it can be done, if not with Windows maybe another piece of software.
Bluetooth keyboard on Chuwi Vi8
Hi guys, This a pretty silly questions, I wonder if anybody with this tablet has bought it whit the Chinese Bluetooth keyboard, and knows whether there is any way to use ESC and function buttons that appear in blue, on the upper keys. Using Fn+ any of these keys would do whatever but ESC or F1, F2, F3 etc. For instance, key 0... Fn+0 = Volume down, but not F10.
I have searched about this on the internet but haven't got any info.
Does anybody have the same issue? It'pretty frustrating when using excel on windows 8.1. I. I have the dual boot version whatsoever.
Cheers
Very good tablet, but last week I bought a Onda V919 3G Air, otherwise, I will buy this tablet.

Hey man I haven't bought the bluetooth keyboard with the Chuwi, but I've had problems with bluetooth keyboards in general as only basic keys work such as letters, shift, not even ctrl sometimes. Did the keyboard come with any software? Try to google the brand and see if there are any drivers.
And you're using excel on your Chuwi? Props! That's difficult!

Thanks for the response!
Well, it doesn`t have a brand serial number or anything, I guess it is just generic hardware, it works very well, but anyways, maybe the ESC and Function buttons are fake.
In that case, there might be an app to reassign keys, I will check that.
And yes, using excel with chuwi, just to input lab data on the go, and analyse it with some charts, not a big deal.
I have this tablet and this is sick man its incredible that I have boot os on just one table this tablet would be perfect ithey would be with 64gb internal storage that of couse next gen will it have it . I really recommend this tablet hope some xda programer member open a tread and make custom rms and some root stuff hehehe the best 2015 130 dollar gadget XD
Decent enough for the price I paid.
Two gripes I do have, even so.
1) Screen expansion seems broken on Windows, if I turn it on, the tablet screen goes dark. Anyone managed to get both screens working at the same time?
2) It seems like USB OTG with simultaneous charging does not work - any chance to fix that?

I've updated the OP with information and will update it when others create ROMs for this.

I think the Chuwi Vi8 only supports screen mirroring, you'll need to find another piece of software
It's the USB OTG cable itself, you need one that supports both, something like this:

Anyone able to install Google Plus? Won't work for me.
Edit, fix here
