Android on Blackstone - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hi,
Is there a possibility to run Android (the one, which is a default on HTC Hero) on my Blackstone? I would much appreciate, if someone could provide me with info, if there is an official ROM from HTC available, or is HTC going to release such update?
Thanks

But this is a rather old version, and as I understood it works only partly
Is there a new version tested that works 100%?

Android on a HTC Touch Viva

Hi Folks,
I use a HTC (Touch Viva T2223), I was not sure if this Vogue or Opal. (I have a RAM – 128 MB, Flash Size – 256 MB). Can you please redirect me to the download link of the Android Kernel.
I am not aware on flashing my mobile. Please let me know, how do I do the same. Will the language setting be a problem? I am referring to the keyboard layout.
Also, it would great if you can share information on how do I go back to Windows Mobile, if I had any problem with Android? How will I load Windows on it again?
Thanks in advance for clarifying my queries.
Cheers'
Vijay
Viva = Opal
At the moment, there are now Android builds for Opal. The only thing on these
forums related to Linux is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462188
I only got my device less than a week ago, but I'm planning on experimenting with this when I can. However, I'm still far from being an expert. So I'm not sure how helpful I'll manage to be.
hmmmm...Thanks for your reply dude!!
Well, dont we have a kernel for our mobile Yet? Doesnt the same build of Touch fits in?

Apparently there are three "Touch"s: "Vogue", "Elf" and "Elfin".
Vogue has a different processor so it's useless. Even though Android can run on it right now.
As for the other two, the difference between them is RAM and ROM sizes. The ELF has less than the min required for running Android so it's a no go.
And nobody managed to get Android to work on Elfin yet (at least as far as I managed to find). Although it's running another Linux build.
Great to know that, the progress is being made..and now we hv a linux on.
Things which amazes me is, HTC touch with lesser RAM, is running Android.!!
Well, Do we have any basic requirements for loading Android OS? I mean, required RAM? Does the email in Android support Microsoft Exchange server?
Heylo Folks.. Any luck on Android for our Opal?
I have one now and guess if its possible.. there is a video that shows it working :S

Android on HTC Touch Viva
Hi guys,
Sorry if any of this was addressed on any other forum (or thread); I looked around for a little while but couldn't find it...
I have a HTC Touch Viva (T2223 - Opal) running WM6.5 after flashing it a couple of months ago. Battery issues appart I'm quite happy with it (sort of, since the only improvement was really the looks on the GUI and now my keyboard is limited to English only). However, this Android thing has been banging on my head and I am looking for a ROM that will make it on my device.
Any clues were I can find it?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,

I think what D#1 is that if Android is available for opal itself right now.
Well to that question the answer is yes and no, yes because it exists and is functional and no because its not complete and has umpteen number of glitches. Ppl have been working on it for sometime now and I think we need to show them some appreciation for their consistency even with no incentive at sight.

Hi, thanks Mr. Zeus... Does that mean I should revert to the original WM 6.1 ROM prior to try to run android on my device?
If so, is there any place I can retrieve the 6.1 original ROM for the touch viva t2223?
Thanks for your time (and patience for my newbie questions)

No there isn´t and maybe never will be.
You should read the first threads of this forum! There is a lot of information that can give you many answers!
read, read and read, take your decision, download and flash under your own responsibility....
that is not so easy as it looks...
the newest roms are generally with bugs...
for me de best is the [ROM][PDAVIET][WWE]BLACKSTONE WM6.5 ROM V64 (Core 23053) w/ LEO-MANILA/FOOTPRINT/ i am using it since it was uploaded...
good luck...!
sir i had flashed my hd with HD_WM65__V66__B23053COM3__D093009

Do you have read the Dummies Guide for Flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377

Nobody can really advise on which rom to use as just as many roms as there are there will be as many opinions as to which one is best. You will have to try a few and make up your own mind. This thread will soon be closed as it is against the forum rules as these threads that ask for opinions become useless as everyone has their own opinion. Just scrolling down the list this is the first German rom I saw - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569279. You can read the thread yourself and see if it appears to be a good stable one or not based on what users are saying.
All tools and steps to flash to the new rom can be found here.

Haha good one
Yeah.. sorry zomi. But if you searching for a good 6.5 ROM that fits your needs, you really need to do some searching for yourself.
Try some ROMS first, then you'll know wich one is the best for you.
(tip: try search mode in this forum)
good luck
Official Update
Is there no official Update from HTC with 6.5?

Not for the Blackstone and there wont be one.
Thank you!
You helped me a lot.
Bye
If you type 'german' into "search" you'll find this has been asked before.
As for which is best, this is an opinionated query which is generally frowned upon in XDA as it creates endless long threads with no solution as everyone will have a different opinion.
For the above reasons and also fact that ClydeB1 helped you out with one thread, I am closing this thread

[help] trying to Upgrade ROM 1.40.709.0 on Diamond2

Hi I'm a newbie.
Just wanted to see if I can upgrademy ROM to WM6.5?
I have search a lot and dont' seem to be able to find a thread that I understand.
Been also looking at threads on how to fix my CallerID problem. The HTC support download doesn't support my ROM version.
If someone can help me it'll be great!!

Please READ HERE, that's where all the answers are, and keep in mind that only ROMS made for TOPAZ/Diamond2 can be flashed
Or the saffest way is to go HTCSUPPORT, insert your Serial Number and get the Official ROM to your device, read your Manual also

[Q] WIN upgrade for t5353 diamond 2

I am trying to find upgrade rom from 6.1 to6.5 but they all say not available for this phone.
It is a t5353 sn. HT95TLXXXXXX
Is there an upgrade for this phone?
MOD EDIT: Not a good idea to post your device's serial number!!
reported it to mods, so that it is moved to the right section, more help will be provided in the right section
Thread moved to Topaz Q&A.
There are plenty of 6.5 ROMs here in the forum. Just follow the instructions for installing Hard-SPL & flash away!
If you're looking for an official update, those would be found on the HTC website (if available).
EDIT: There are several 6.5 ROM updates on the HTC website. The ones one last year include Manila 2.1, while this year's updates include Sense 2.5 (depending on your region).
EDIT 2: Here's the latest (official) WM 6.5 ROM for your device: http://www.htc.com/th/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=915
EDIT 3: If you're interested, here's the older (original) 6.5 upgrade for your device: http://www.htc.com/th/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=741
Thanks for that.
Also could you tell me what unscrupulious use could be made from the serial no. I posted (not thinking) So I could be on the lookout?

To be honest, I'm not really sure - but I do know the serial number is specific to your device, and somewhere (likely in your Carrier's system) is connected to your personal information. So, while it's not likely that someone will use this information against you, I wanted to make sure you knew that it was possible, and remove it from your post just in case.

Well i just want to tell that, serial number for GSM devices cant be traced to any Personal info, but they still they to remove it so that hacker may not clone the serial numbers
Installed the latest that you sugested and it works except I am having a problem driving it. the only 6.5 user manual I have been able to find is a 6.5 telstra one which is different in some things.If I could speak russion I might be able to find it at the same site that I got the rom.
