Linux on htc toutch diamond

Well guys i am getting my htc toutch diamond soon.
My question is can u run linux properly under htc toutch diamond.
And i think dualboot will be the best so i can switch between linux and windows mobile 6.1.
But my main question is is this possible.
Or is it better to run linux in windows mobile 6.1 itself ?
Is this done before and will one of these methods will work ?
If u could anser these questions that would be nice.
Thanks in advanced!

S-E-A-R-C-H
There is a linux or the HTC Kaiser that might work with some modification
Rory

HTC Kaiser
yes i searched and i looked at the topic but they did not mention anything about dualboot and embed linux.
and there were some examples for embed but not for dualboot. but as i searched it looked not very promesing.
not a real manual to do something like it, if u know what i mean.
well it lookes like i got my answer, just follow the kaiser threat.
p.s. sorry for my bad english.

I tryed it on my HTC Diamond unsuccessfully...
It hangs up...

google android runs linux right? I'm sure in the near future people will get android running on diamonds. Although i dont know why you would want to...

ok, nice that anyone has picked up the project, but some more information would have been nice

Yes, I am very happy that work has resumed but it would be nice to have some form of roadmap in terms of what you are trying to achieve like the hardware zoom thread

thanks again for taking the time to do this. Im free for any beta testing

Give me some time i will fill all the details in first post.

Nice to see someone is still working on this. I have been following the development since it was started, and would really like to help. However my programming skills are litterally non-existent, so probably not much I can do apart from cheeering you on? beta testing? let me know..
Cheers

Finally,
Some people like myself too, were hoping in that. A full working version of android on the touch HD...Good luck...and post your results...we would be really pleased to test...

tuxhero - Your the man
Hi tuxhero,
Touch HD is a very good device, but windows is not a good SO.
We all know windows, slow, always crashing...lost os bugs...
Android in Touch HD would be real great.
I'm available to do developments, testing, anything.
Try to describe really well, provide helpful link....you know info that can help...
I'm joining this TEAM TUXHERO ANDROID BLACKSTONE
It seams that at least now things are going on the right track, we have people working.
See you my friend...You are the man!!!

Why is Windows not a good OS? I'm not a fan at all, but such statements are simply not true. Furthermore you should consider that Windows has nothing to do with Windows Mobile ...

Mine isn't crashing that often, isn't slow and I haven't noticed any bug so far.
Just to make it clear: I don't want to hamper the development. In fact I would love to see an alternative to Windows Mobile, but saying things like above aren't the right motivation!

Windows Mobile - even in 6.5 version is good couple years behind functionality of Android or Iphone OS. It was build for PDAs or Pocket PC and it was working perfectly fine for those devices.
BUT for HTC Blackstone - it is not suitable, yes TouchFlo is making this beautiful phone usable, but its only thanks to it one can appreciate it's functionality.
That is why I would LOVE to see Android working on Blackstone.
So thank you for trying. I will be among the first people that will test it whenever you will make it available. [I am just a phone user/gadget lover - so can't help more than that]

I don't think that WM is a bad OS.
Ok, the shipped ROM of my HD was... omg it was horrible.
But when I look at the actually cooked ROMs, they are very fast and stable.
There smoothnes is almost as good as the Iphone's one.
I think all OS's has there positive and negative aspects:
WM is not the userfriendliest, but fully customizeable!
Iphone OS is very userfriendly, but its customizeable like a Gameboy (Customizeable don't means installing different programms)
Android is an alternative to both OS. Userfriendly and customizeable. So if anyone isn't that happy with WM, Android is an good alternative.
I would support this project with all I'm able to.

Thankyou for your support but please limit this thread to Android Porting only don't use it for other stuff.

Is it possible to extract the kernel from the HTC Magic ROM and test it on our Blackstone?

It is possible but you don't need to extract it we already had source code so we can compile it. But the problem is blackstone is not designed to run Android
that changes lot of things. Now our task is to find what we need to change n change it.

So you said that you are using the android-msm and not the htc-msn kernel for now.
What kernel did xmoo and obus(?? not sure about the name ^^) use? The htc-msm?
Is the android kernel as good as working as the version from obus/xmoo, or is it working better in the moment?
Sry for my english *g*

any way to run ubuntu on blackstone?

hi everyone.
it's kingo, from my blackstone with energy rom 3.0 (nice rom!),and this is my first post.
i was wondering... is there any way to run ubuntu arm on our beloved brick? i assume it would be under haret, and would need some controllers for its linux kernel, isn't it?
if it is already possible, i'd be happy. if its not, would it be possible to create an ubuntu image for haret using the controllers thata re being developed for android?
thanks in advantage. i'm sorry if my english sounds like an autist monkey. blame the spanish state school...

I personally think thats an insulting reply from a senior member. A question was asked genuinely, no need for such remarks.

er, ok. you must be very fed up of people 'asking before searching' to anwer this way. I was the fool, so I'll keep MY sarcasm this time.
If it's been asked here before, it must be the first topic I google for and don't find xda treads.
I'll search to find out why mine is a 'stupid question'

I would personal like to see PSP OS on HD, both are using arm... right?
haha....

the question is reasonable in my point of view.
if theres a way for android... why should there be a way for (other) linux based OS.
k, maybe theres no need for it.. but hey, why reacting so harsh?

Obviously the HD doesn't fit the hardware requirements for the PSP OS.
¿Is it obvious that it doesn't fit the requirements for Ubuntu ARM? I don't know. That's why my post was a question. At least ubuntu code is free and many people try to port it to any suitable platform... And it can run on a 528 mhz and 288MB ram desktop computer, can't it?
I didn't expect to have compiz running smoothly on the HD. But Ubuntu Mobile, Ubuntu ARM, Ubuntu Embedded (I don't know the difference) are suposed to run on "embedded devices"...

Ok, first of attitude of a few people on this thread is disgraceful & insulting and I'll be contacting them shortly via PM.
Secondly, can I remind everyone this is a family website browsed by people of all ages, so try and keep language in check. This site is based on a community who share information, not insult each other. Please try and treat people the same way you would like to be treated!!
I'm closing thread to stop any further comments

Htc Dream with Windows Mobile?

Hi,
I was looking for this topic on google, and later on Xda forum but I found nothing. From many years I was working with Windows Mobile, and now my friend asked me to instal Windows on his Htc Dream and I was totaly schocked, when I realise that nobody wanted to change Android to Windows Mobile.
Is there any way to do it? Or can you give me any links to [ROM] Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5 for Htc Dream
Thanks for help!

use the search function its been asked before, as far as i remember, no one cares to make a port because why put a bad OS on a phone with a good OS?

It might be possible to port it from the Leo(Not out yet) since it has a capacitive screen. But we would still have to fix the rom to fit the screen size and the drivers and such so it might not even come.

I am glad someone else has posted this, last week i was looking for some info on this and noticed all of the WinMo threads were closed.
I am hoping that WinMo makes it to the G1, i plan on buying a Cliq when they are released so the G1 is going to be a play/spare phone and it would be cool to play around with Winmo 6.5 and whatnot. I know a lot of people said WinMo sucks, but on decent hardware like the G1 it should be better.
Also as i was looking around dba.net i noticed a lot of the new HTC WinMo phones have the same chipset, CPU and whatnot. Hopefully this will make porting it a lot easier for some cooks and we will see WinMo on the Dream hardware sometime in the near future =)

While we're at it why don't we put the iphone os on the G1 too.

Maybe not iPhone software, I think Symbian S60 is better
But let's back, is there anyone on the earth who has already cooked this rom or it's only hoping that after a lot of time there will be a person, who will answer on our requests and make rom for g1??

Well I know you couldn't tell but I was being sarcastic with the iphone os. And people got the G1 to have android and not windows mobile. I doubt anyone will ever build a windows mobile rom for the g1. So don't hold your breath.

P.S. I cooked my own WM6.1 ROM when I had a Kaiser. Now that I have a G1 I have absolutely no interest is seeing WM again.

Yessir me too. Plus you just won't have the support for moto like you do with htc.

You're shocked that nobody would want to put GARBAGE in place of GOLD?
If you want GARBAGE, why buy a PREMIUM SMARTPHONE?

It would be too hard anyway. I doubt the experienced devs for android are gonna spend time rewritting the drivers and going all out of their way for winmo. They would probably much rather work on making their android roms better

OK, but when they pass case that Android isn't the best OS they could have, they want to change it for another OS, exactly for Windows Mobile. And now they havn't any possibility to do it.
Maybe for some of them Android is the BEST OS, but not for all.

So topic has ended. Ok, I see that all of you affirm Android is the best thing which was made for this smartphone.
But I will be thankful, when someone cooks Windows Rom for G1.

the g1 is only one of the army of android phones .. the statements you made is said by members who have not really fully experienced android , I loved w_mobile over the iphone , but then android came along , so i filed for a divorce ,, now I fully support android .,..,

android= most complete, refined mobile os. period. and i have an iphone too. it sucks. least flexible mobile os ever. even with jailbreak
only thing good about it is that there's a crapload of fart apps.

I wouldn't say that Android is complete..... there are still a lot of things to be implemented.
However, Android is handsdown the best MobileOS thanks to the 3rd party community

WinMobile system on HTC Desire/NexusOne?

Hello, I would like to know whether it is possible to have Win Mobile 6.5 installed on this mobile phone or not (HTC Desire). Please advise. Thank you in advance.

1. Wrong section.
2. Everything is possible if you make it. Is there currently a stable WinMo ROM? No, and I don't believe there will be.
There is something, though. It's called HTC HD2.

Sorry if this thread is not in appropriate section. Feel free to move it where it should be. I am new here.
Regarding my question, I don´t want to make flame what is better. The think is following. I had a HTC TP2 but it felt down from my tank-bag in 270 kmph. It survived but was damaged. My repair work was its end .o]
Now I am looking for some device which has suitable dimensions like HTC TP2 - Desire is OK, display res. 800*480, 1GHz processor. Of course I will try Adroid system, but I have many applications for WM, for example iGO8. So I am checking whether it is possible to change ROM and have there WM ROM. XDA developers are well known as a bunch of people who are able to do everything. I was searching forum slightly, but didn´t foind appropriate thread... Please help.

But you've been answered. No, there is no WinMo ROM for Nexus/Desire. No, the chances someone would want to make WinMo port for these devices in any shape or form is slim to none, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

That is the same troll, still here? I'm surprised. You should be buying another device and heading over to some other forums, instead of posting complete nonsense. You should at least be smart enough to understand that I've meant stable WinMo ROMs to run on Nexus, and not WinMo ROMs in general.

Ohhh - did someone else have the same low opinion of android? Not surprising, considering how many people have thrown their n1 into a drawer until Google can fix some of the bugs.
If you meant WM roms for N1, why didn't you write that instead of writing it like a general statement? Troll posts like that attract deserving responses
