Building a ROM for a Hitachi G1000 - Off-topic

I know this board is specifically for the XDA, but I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out. I own a Hitachi G1000 which is a PocketPC Phone Edition device that runs on Sprint PCS's CDMA network. I am wanting to upgrade it to 2003, but Hitachi and Sprint claim that they will never issue such an upgrade. I was hoping to use the 2003 ROMs that were released to upgrade the XDA, but I am concerned that it would not be compatable with the G1000 because of the CDMA radio, the camera built into the phone, and the hardware keyboard. What would I need to do to build a ROM that brings the Sprint utilitys and G1000 specific drivers into the new 2003 system, or is it even possible without assistance from Hitachi?

I think it would be very hard. most of the core part of the os
is very customized by HTC. I guess the same would hold for the g1000.

however, it would be possible to modify the romkitch/mkrom tools to create extended roms, based on your current rom version.

if these specs are correct
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/articles.php?action=expand,18795&start=1
then it's not going to happen
because of the whole
32MB Flash EEPROM (Note: OS is not upgradeable or reflashable)

Darn it. I also have a Hitachi G1000, and was hoping to use the ROM upgrades. Not to PPC2003, but rather just the enhancements for PPC2002. I have read many places that the ROM is EPROM, but this article does make me wonder.

Checked Hitachi, it's EEPROM, darn it, darn it, darn it. Looks more and more like they weren't sure if the thing would sell, or even take in the market. Some of the things/specs seem quite a bit short sighted on Hitachi's and Sprint's part. I love the device, but as I look to upgrade, or expand it's abilities, I become more and more dissappointed.

I feel your pain
The lack of expansion and upgrade options for the Sprint System is why I am getting rid of them and Getting an XDA. I really liked my 2032sp but I wanted a bit more. I have gotten an XDA and upgraded it to 128mb of Ram, an 1800 Battery and I can use it on any GSM Network. Good luck in seeking upgrade paths.

Yeah, I'm not a big GSM/GPRS fan. I can atleast get bursts of 80-100k on the 1xRTT, Sprint uses. Went with the Hitachi for the faster proc and keyboard, too. Probably just have to wait for the next gen of them.

Does it come with a candle or a lint roller? I hear that is the fashion these days.
New iPhone available on Friday and a lot of Tilt users jumping on the bandwagon. Anyone else notice all the Tilt's for sale lately?
No.

No offense meant to the OP, but given the bad blood we've had lately, people are VERY skeptical buying from the boards. Especially from someone who has a single number of posts.
You'd be better off selling on eBay.

Seeking worthy successor to Tilt

Contract w/ ATT up in June, any suggestions / rumors for a good replacement? Prefer HTC, maybe others? I want at least the functionality of the Tilt, and then some. Maybe WM7 based? I like newer stuff and don't mind tweaking, actually insist on some tweak-ability http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
I would go with the Pro2. It has the tilting screen that the Touch Pro didn't, and this time in WVGA. It will be released with 6.1, but will be upgradable to 6.5. In theory, it will be upgradable to WinMo 7 too, but only time will tell. The worst that could happen is you could have to flash a custom WM7 ROM. If you buy the Unlocked version from a place like Expansys-USA, I am expecting a price tag of at least $750. Check out this and this.

You know AT&T is going to fsck up the keyboard.
Unless something better comes along -- I plan to get the Pro2 when my Kaiser dies (or when the prices for the Pro2 come down a bit )
I will sure miss all the buttons and the jog wheel though
*This* was my next phone before HTC unveiled the TP II , now we will have to compare.
I know that T-Mobile will supposedly be getting the touch pro 2, but have we heard anything about at&t even getting it?
If my sources are correct, it is extremely likely that AT&T will get this, I believe by December. However, they will probably ruin it as usual with trial applications, junk shortcuts to their services, and they will most likely ruin the keyboard, etc. This is why I'm just gonna save up, pay more to buy it unlocked and bypass AT&T entirely.

According to my sauces, it will be called the Barium ( as in Barium enema ) and yes, it will include the great AT$T keyboard.

You actually went there and compared windows mobile to android hahahah
I am being forced into using the htc hd2 for work.
And windows mobile have to be the biggest piece of **** i have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with.
The htc hd2 is such an amazing piece of hardware but windows mobile completely kills it.
Why would you even think about doing something like this?
And what software are you talking about? wm more the android?
I cant even find a bank of america, pandora, last.fm simple apps like that for windows mobile.
You are not worthy of the droid.
can a mod please close this thread? it's an obvious troll
hm, who is the troll?
The person who just asked a simple question, or the people who have to run to bash him? Don't think you hard, you might hurt yourself
A dual boot would be kind of cool. The one thing that bothers me the most about android is not having native windows office support. It would be nice to get a real MS office program on my nexus.
I hate the viewers and I'm not really sure I want to try an editing software for $15 which probably is crappy.
This thread fails.

I think this may have its own advantages actually...although I did move from the HD2 to the N1 almost solely for Android...it would be nice to be able to use Windows Phone 7 though (thinking that the games for it would be nice, the preview is nice after all)....
Honestly, if someone made some kind of emulation for it, I'd do it just because "my phone can handle it" etc.
I'm sorry, you missed April Fools Day about 29 days ago! FAIL!
Wow I guess android fan boys are just as rabid as the apple ones. Who knew? I know that it goes against logic that someone may actually like windows mobile..
I came from WM to android because its so boring!...
I luv android and its apps!
Yes, steady guys!

Seriously man, thats the funniest sh*t for today...
If you wanted WMo 6.5 then why did u waste your money on N1... You could have got that for a lot cheaper....
I should internet slap you.

Anyone going to get the Galaxy S?

What does everyone think? 4" may be the sweet spot between big screen size and too big. I don't know how I feel about even less physical buttons though as I already think it is the stupidest thing ever to not have dedicated send/end, but that is just me.
Not while they've skinned Android and replaced some Google integration with Yahoo integration.
No led flash? Are you f*cking kidding me?
I like the S-AMOLED and the proper multi-touch screen. However, having used the N1, I feel that it's just about as large a smartphone as I'd like to have in my pocket.
Not having to jump through as many hoops to get it customized, rooted, unlocked, etc. is also a nice thing about being on the N1.
Why would I want that when I have an N1?

I've had a G1, and a N1, I'll wait until the next "Google" phone's out to upgrade, I think
If it gets rooted and with a stock rom i'm going for it. Samsung makes great hardware. The software sucks big time.

Yeah I'm with you I'll wait for the new Nexus One every phone on T-Mobile that's made by HTC and only has stock Android is the phone Google uses for the next year. Thanks to Froyo the Nexus One has been the best Android phone until at least August when the Droid X gets 2.2 and gets a speed boost. Also you know that the Galaxy S will not get to use the free tethering that people with the Nexus enjoy. So to the original question NOPE

If it is rooted why couldn't you use wireless tether? Wow I did not think everyone would be so against it. Its already rooted though I thought.

If I upgrade phones from my Nexus One its going to be for these features:
- Vanilla android
- 4.3' screen
- Can use the same $50/mo even more plus T-mobile voice + data
I'm more than happy to play the waiting game with my Nexus One until this phone comes out...
If the guys at Samsung weren't so cheap to cut corners and actually included an led flash I might have considered the GalaxyS... but I can't support such obvious penny pinching cost cutting by Samsung
I love its GPU power and the Super-AMOLED, but for me to go from the N1 I need :
dualcore
>WVGA
stock android

I don't expect that for another 6 months or so, so I'll be keeping my Nexus One until then
The Galaxy S is also plasticky and ugly

That is an interesting idea actually. We all know Apple's design ideas are pretty good, and some android phones you don't want to take out of your pocket. But on the other hand, Android is a great system, and iOS...not so much. So you can have 2 different phones from that. One sexy phone with awesome OS, or an Ugly one with crap OS. I present to you, this phone:

Hark at him, with his fancy new 80s cube puzzle avatar!
I think jaszek has the right idea, I mean its not as though apple even make their phones or components, so all it would take is a logo swap at foxconn and a optimised version of android and BAM. of course the ifanboys would then complain about the poor build quality as it no longer has a partially eaten fruit logo on the back.
In the real world.. If you're just looking for an android that is aesthetically pleasing.. Motorola seem to be doing a good job on that front. My Atrix looks smart, and the new razr is all fancy!
just buy a samsung, it looks like the iphone and it runs android
I'll only put it this way- iOS' power management, maybe battery itself, everything else android / non-Applicular origin. Lets face it, right now, our beloved toys only lack that functional amount of battery life to be, well, functional and reliable.
