Android is a new open source mobile operating system that Google developed and an SDK has just been made available.
It would be great to see this ported to the Universal if its possible.
I don't see why it would not run since the Universal can already run Linux (to some extent) and Android is just based on that. Whether and to what extent the hardware can be supported is another question that only our programmers can answer. As we can surely count HTC out on supporting their legacy devices it might not be worth anybodies time in the end.
SDK for Android would not help at all. It is just a set of headers and import libraries. To port something to a device you need complete source codes of its kernel, software, etc. Even more - we don't know hardware requirements for Android. It may require the NOR flash to run from it - and we don't have it on our device at all.

Nobody uses NOR these days, it's too expensive and provides no real
benefit over NAND. The XIP days are over.
I hate java with passion, but i don't see any reason why Android software
will not be running on the universal.
Any news? I mean: can Universal run an Android ROM?
I saw something on tytnII, is there an hope?
can anyone confirm if android requires a customised hardware or minimum requirements....
By The Looks Of It I Shouldnt See Why Not...
I Saw That Video Of It On The Tytn And It Looks Like Its Just A Linux Based Kernel Booting Though Haret.
Theirs Already Some Pretty Good Progress With Linux On The UNI And I Dont See Why It Shouldnt Be Possible To Patch This Up. (Wish I Could But Im Not A Linux Coder )
maybe something like this
(click on the emote)
could be done for univ.
Getting A Replacement

It looks promising but I am also awaiting the Ubuntu Mobile edition for PCC: it looks awesome!
if it has to run java bytecode
hi a .CAB solution should be possible. tis my prefered choice at present. KVM with class jar anyone??
any news ?
Kaiser can run Android, any ROM for Uni?
In this thread we have Android ported in to a Kaiser, hope someone is working on an Android ROM for UNI!!
It looks very nice the interface
Does anyone knows more info about this?
Thanks
Gracias
Any news on Android for Uni?
I've been trying to get it to work on my ELFin too, but i gave up when i only managed to get the Linwizard running without startx... (i dont know how to telnet and startx -.-)
Any news on this?
I'm thinking of getting a universal but i'm gathering info on it atm!
Has anyone been able to get some real progress on this matter?
I installed this onto my main memory, but when I run it I get a blank screen and the phone vibrates continuously, what am I doing wrong? I think this version is supposed to work on the Universal.
hye !
i also tried to install android on my universal, but it didn't work at all, i only had a black sreen and it vibrate without stopping. if someone has an idea, or a new thread were we can find out a running android os for uni... i take it !
Very keen on this
Is there a project? .. I'm a developer and would be willing to assist, but i haven't got enough experience with these devices to start the project off myself...
Count me in as a beta tester
It would be great to have Android on Uni!!
So this news means that very soon developers can start working on android to be ported on other devices!!!

Hi,
I have a Huawei U7517 wich is similar to the U7510 and I was wondering if its possible to flash or install a Windows mobile version or android OS into this phone.
It seems this phone have a custom OS by Huawei and there are not many applications for it other than java apps.
It looks pysically the same as a HTC Jade or touch 3g but im not sure if its the same internally. I would really appreciate your thoughts on this.
Regards,
UP ! i have a u7510 and i want to know if it's possible !
i have it too.... want to install android on it... any news post it or let me know!!!!
i'd like that too
qualcomm brew is quite limited
I have this phone too.... And I want to install Android on it, anyone with info?
My friend has this phone and I promised him a hack... Might just get him a flashy Java app
Good afternoon!
A few days ago came into my hands one file, it was a way I've found windows rt restore img. Googling found that hardware stuffing differs only display resolution and count-tion of memory (in Asus Vivo RT 2 GB, Microsoft Surface 2GB while the Nexus 7 1 GB), but the problem is that all WinRT tablet is uefi bootloader. Remembering Projects OSX86 and about chameleon, empire efi, decided to port the bootloader on Nexus. Make the type MultiBoot.
who will help me in my endeavors?
Cotulla make with htc hd2 magldr>uefi>win rt (magldr this is custom loader with sdcard boot support) / can we make a analog of magldr for nexus 7?
Hi, I acan't help but don't see why this isn't possible (albeit very hard) as win rt has been run on htc hd2 http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/htc-hd2-refuses-to-die-now-runs-windows-rt/ however I beleive a custom firmware was written for the very purpose.
I am trying to do the complete opposite and install android/ubuntu on the vivo tab tf600. Best of luck and please post updates if you make any progress.
need people who can write uefi loader/ please write.

Unfortunately I don't have the technical knowledge to be able to help you with that...
But I think I've read that MAGLDR-UEFI was based on tianocore, so you can start with that!
Code:
tianocore.sourceforge.net
But it's an awesome project!:highfive:
I hope you can make it happen! :fingers-crossed:
Just now, we need MS SurfaceRT tablet, and I collect the money for it.

Hey,
ASUS has made a full Android 4.2.2 version for the vivo tab rt available. Unfortunately there isn't a way to flash it onto the tablet because of secure boot etc. I've seen someone mentioning that an older uefi version was hackable.
So maybe if you put the old uefi version somehow back on there, you might be able to boot that android version.
I wish people didn't post stuff they can'i back up. If you don't know the answer don't post. Does anyone know if it can be done?

Microsoft Secure Boot Golden Key is online, is this the start of a new life for the VivoTab RT? :
Maybe someone will port it over.
The Android version of the VivoTab RT TF600T is ASUS Transformer Pad TF502T. On the Asus website the Kernel Code for Android 4.2.1 can still be found (http://www.asus.com/support/Download/28/1/0/17/32/).
Tegra3 - it looks good.

The bootloader can't be unlock at the moment. Asus is known for giving the tools to unlock the bootloader. So its matter of time to have the tools to unlock it.
Asus just released the unlock tool for the ZenFone 3 so the tool for the Deluxe can't be far off. Maybe this tool will work for the Deluxe??

Source Code is on Asus website I don't get why it's not available yet?

Hey there I posted this under "rooted":
Hey, just went onto ASUS global & US website and saw that there is an unlock bootloader utility for the ZS550KL (updated 11-Nov-2016) but not one for the ZS570KL. Does this matter, since both phones are "Deluxe"? If not, any assistance to unlock bootloader and root the ZS570KL. Thanks!
Any help or feedback, greatly appreciated.

Fairly new to rooting phones and this question is due to my inexperience, but if the phones are both considered "Zenfone 3 Deluxe" what does the size have to do with it? Thanks for explaining.

well according to the this link here ... https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS570KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (This is for 5.7 and there is no show of bootloader)
however this link here https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-Deluxe-ZS550KL/HelpDesk_Download/ (shows a bootloader unlock for the 5.5 version)
We need developers to jump on this darn phone and get it going somehow, if there is anyway possible to get their attention on it. I was able to tweak my phone a bit more with the startup manger (free) from google play to get more ram space.

5.5 has SD820 cpu, 5.7 has SD821... Would you try and use the other, untried method of unlocking if it may destroy your expensive little toy?

This is untrue. The 5.5 has the SD625, and the 64GB 5.7 has the SD820 and the 256GB 5.7" Special Edition has the SD821.
While it could be possible that a bootloader unlock tool for the SD820 could be used on the SD821 (but maybe not) because the architecture is essentially the same, an unlock tool for the SD625 most certainly would not be as it is a completely different processor.
I know we seen this answer before, but this is what i got from them.... https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120584-1-1.html
I emailed Asus support and got this as a response:
Me: "When can the bootloader unlock utility be expected to be released?"
Them: "Unfortunately ASUS does not actually asssit with unlocking of the Android Bootloader. I must advise that you do so at your own risk, as once the boot loader is unloked it will void your warranty. But we will transfer customers' wishes to the related department for further development."
Edit: I prodded them further and received this in response:
"I have transferred your wish to our Product department, but temporary the accurate time the unlock tool for this Zenfone 3 Deluxe model would be released couldn't be ensured."
Which I believe means: 'We can't give an official release time yet.'
There is a "petition" in Asus 's Taiwan forum requesting an official bootloader unlocked tool and the thread is marked "under active review" by representative of Asus. No ETA is given though and the thread is in Chinese. If you are also interested and want to give it a little more push you could leave English message there.

Hey, thanks for the explanation. I did not even consider looking at the specs (chipset) to see if there was a difference between the 2 models. I just thought they were the same phone just size of screen difference and/or less storage. Forgot they also release a 820 model.
At least you can get to the heart of the menu of the recovery, just can't do much there either. Thanks to a lucky source right here.... been trying find out how to do this...
https://www.asus.com/zentalk/thread-120913-1-1.html
1.) Turn off phone completely
2.) press power button and volume down at same time and hold it untill you see an android logo with an "!" with the android logo that says "no command". when you see the logo release all buttons.
3.) Now, press and hold power button first and then quickly press volume Up. You will then see the options including wipe cache.

Was it necessary to post the same in 2 threads?
Anyhow, check my original thread for rooting again. I included ZS550KL Nougat rooted boot images.
Test & share your feedback in the original rooting thread.
can you tell how to get to this thread, i am struggling here today gonna throw a pc and a new zenfone threw a wall soon
