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,
D#1

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)

[ROM UPDATE]HTC Touch Pro2 1.19 EU

HTC Touch Pro2 ROM Upgrade (EU)
An updated ROM is now available for HTC Touch Pro2 users to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience.
Improved Functions and Fixes:
* The Financial Providers Icon (Yahoo!) was placed in the Stock Tab in TouchFLO to clearly indicate where the data originated.
* The phone now shows the actual amount of RAM (288MB) instead of the amount used in previous models (256MB).
Download

Thank you for the information.
Actually allowing me to download it.
Probably won't flash it for a while.
Everything I normally use, works just fine.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If you are having problems downloading it, get it here.

Downoaded it. Loaded it onto my TP2. Wished I hadn't. Performance is now dreadful!
Phone sticks in the call screen, and I've lost my licenced version of CoPilot.

I have all the ROMs except the Portuguese one (which I dont have a valid S/N for) at http://xda.caspersworld.co.uk
EDIT: Now have the Portuguese ROM as well

Thank you for the heads up. I was just about to download it when I read your comment.
My Rhoduim works great with the stock rom it came with. (1.19.401.0) So like the guy said in another thread here in the Rhoduim section "If it ain't broke it don't need to be fixed".
Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to some custom roms.

I've downloaded it. Runs smooth, no problems. I updated my copilot last week with the one in the htc site. It wouldn't allow me to use my licence on it. Contacted copilot, they replied straight away with

I tried it using automatic activation and it worked.
After updating to this new rom, copilot remained in my program directory and was still activated. Not sure how they managed to do that.
Hope that helps

what has changed? My rom has version 1.14.161.5 on it. It works like a dream after lots of tweaks and fiddles have been applied but I always want the the latest stuff. Does anyone know what has changed between mine and the new one?

I'm using a T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2 and noticed that I'm running ROM 1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE with Radio 3.45.25.14.. If you guys need a rom dump of that, let me know, I'll see what I can do for ya'll

3g was gone
i am writing from Turkey and my carrier's name is turkcell... i installed that rom last night..it is bad for me, my carrier's 3g support was gone..the 3g icon doesnt appear anymore..what can i do ?

do you have 3G support with that radio?.

Yes, because it's an official TP2 for TMobile.

thanks for your response. I had some hope to be a radio based issue rather than the common hardware issue we've seen with all the generic devices. disregard my PMs though.
thanks again.

Q: can this be ported onto the US TP2?
CAN SOMEONE DUMP THE FILE HERE instead of going via HTC site

this cannot be port to youre device becouse there is NO hardspl.
you need that.. then you can flash roms other then youre languide (custom roms)

Hi all, newbie here.
I've got a UK vodafone Pro2 with ROM 1.14.161.5 (50207) WWE.
Tried updating the ROM but says my serial is not valid for this ROM!!!
I am also unable to update with the GPS hotfix as its not compatible ??
Is this due to the fact that its using Vodafones own ROM and therefore we arent allowed to reflash the ROM ?
I have emailed HTC but while waiting a reply was wondering if anyone here would help out.
Thanks!

did you get reply from HTC? I have the same issue with WWE version, and it's not branded.

Yeah i did, its due to the fact that its a custom Vodafone ROM. Therefore updating is not possible via HTC, they advised me to contact vodafone themselves to see if they have released any updates themselves.
couldn't find anything useful at all on the vodafone website.
Looks like I'm stuck... for now.
Apparently its not possible to to re-flash the ROM yet? something to do with HardSPL.. I don't know, complete noob at this so far.
Hope you have better luck.

Should I load the ROM??
I dont care what memory it says it has - I dont care where the finance quotes come from (these are the 2 stated improvements) - surely this is not the only reason to upgrade a ROM???

Once your phone is Hardspl'd , you would have to make a real effort to brick it.
As far as Android goes, all Android for Kaiser is advanced alpha or beta. Again, read..read...read to find what is best for your needs.

So do you recomend to not chose Android, because it is just in beta?
Edit:
What can i do if i dont like Android/WM6,5? How do i find back to my original WM6,1? (With norwegian keyboard)

reflash your old rom.

I started with the tutorial to, and it works completely. if you do it that way.. Its impossible to brick it. Once you installed Hard SPL, it shouldn't be a problem ever, + you have to follow that tutorial once, after that you can just open the exe files, and start flashing fast. Aslong as you are sure that you installed HardSPL, And NOT soft spl. If you want to install a rom, you should read the thread about it carefully. Otherwise you might not have sound, or camera wont work etc.

Okay, but is it a way to get norwegian keyboard on WM6,5 or Android?

Don't know if this will help you:

I don't know if it is compatible with Android.. I'm not that familiar with Android, I have only tried it once. But in my opinion it isn't a full usable OS

So you dont recommend Android?

Personally Android on the Kaiser is still in the early beta stages, you still can't even boot straight into Android yet,you have to boot WM or Linux and then launch Android manually, plus there are still some basic kaiser functions that are still a little iffy on the Kaiser ports.
If your are a reader and tinkerer then by all means try. But if you are expecting to get a " Hero " or a " myTouch " out of your Kaiser, it is not going to happen and you should just stick with a good 6.5 or an even better 6.1.

Yea right. In my opinion Android is slow on a Kaiser. Because of the slow Processor. Thought it looks nice.. But not fully usable for personally use.

you can fast type any person pressing dialer and typing first letter from name
so is useless and resource hungry

Love your ROM for being lite. A very nice surprise (I've forgot how nice is the bounce back effect at the end of a list; sad that Microsoft didn't use it for 6.5.x builds). Thank you!
It was funny to read the introduction. It's sad that some people didn't understood your game. I was hoping to see the funniest thread.
(The Opera Mini is in Romanian, or is because of my settings; when I've installed opera mini myself it was in English, even with the same settings. Nice lock-screen)

[Q] HTC M8 to dual boot Android and Windows

Hi Everyone
Just read on several sites how the latest model for Verison will Dual boot into Windows 8.1 and Android.
Is there a way to add this to the existing / original Android M8

Where did you read that?
Theres no way they would release a verison with 2 operating systems especially when android has been widly available for the device. Theres currently no version of a bootloader that has the right environment for windows adding an android boot to there bootloader "to try and even get back to android" Unfortunetly android is open sourse and windows is not, they would have to release there sourcecode to the developing world if they wanted to dual boot with android and they wont. so its up to us to exctract it on our end to make android 's boot loader able to dual boot into windows and hopefully find a way to get back.

it's not the source code which Needs to be released...it's the bootloader which Needs to be extracted and opened to get it working on the android Version! and that's difficult unless someone like cotulla will work on it!

Agreed im just saying we wouldnt need to extract it if they just handed it to us to work with and i hope cotulla does!

From http://www.anandtech.com/show/8390/htc-announces-the-htc-one-m8-for-windows
For some users the most exciting prospect of the HTC One (M8) for Windows may come from the fact that it shares the same hardware as the One (M8). It's possible that the developer community will be able to load the firmware from the HTC One (M8) onto the device in a dual boot configuration with Windows Phone 8 so users can switch between the operating systems as they please.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is one of those, "Well it might be possible to if developers can figure it out" quotes. As the others have posted, there will be no absolute easy way to do this and a lot of the pains will be on the bootloader side. If someone DOES happen to figure it out, I don't see it happening for a LONG time (This also counts as hope for someone to prove me wrong ). We can only be hopeful that HTC failed to lock down something they should have done.
The HD2 was like the holy grail and I don't see that same sort of configuration happening again.

Htc has in m8 wp8.1 version something like s-off for android devices...in one m8 wp8.1 forum there is a thread where a guy is writing about the whole thing why it won't be that easy to mod the OS etc

I'm a daily "hourly" reader of engadget and they have posted about the version with windows but Verison is not releasing a dual boot version it is up to us to make that happen! Read alittle more carfully before making assumptions. Its possible "maybe" but its allot of work as snickler said its saying whats possible not whats out. Also im with One-M8-Master on this one, check out the thread it should clear a few things up on the boot loader side. lets all hope someone gets lucky and does it!

In another thread, this has been released. here

I moved this thread back to One Q&A since the moderating team decided that's where it belongs, but I'm closing it since we now have a single discussion thread for porting Windows Phone 8 to the current m8s. Please continue the discussion there.
