Hi there all i thought we could call upon all android bufins to start porting android to htc touch pro 2,Maybe we can use the blackstone vershion and build on top of that or the htc touch pro vershion.Now that the HTC magic is out with android 1.5 this helps us to get a better port working on htc devices and android on htc touch pro 2 would be out of this world so gentlemen let the games begin.

have you tried to load the HD images that are out there? WOuld be a nice start
sorry i havent we need some developers to try for us so we have a base to start from come on what a brilliant handset the htc touch pro2 is i just can't imagine the possibilities with it running android.
Ok here is the HD vershion of Android port if somone can test and report back that would be great http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlackstoneLinux
I think if the image works, the keyboard has to work then directly aswell!

use the hero rom
yes the hero is a android phone but we cant just flash a android rom onto the touc pro2 but i am sure a developer out there can do something about that and use the hero rom to work for tp2.
maybe the diamond 2 vershion will work atleast its a start the roms are the same on both devices http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509493
http://www.androidonhtc.com/
i think porting the android hero rom would be even more badasssss
waiting so patiently for my touch pro 2
ok so all those android developes the hero rom it shall be. Its final soon as the hero is released get ready with your aprons on and get cooking make us all proud be all heros.
i hate this forum
no i dont i love it..but everytime i get a new phone i come on here to find out something else and it makes want the other new phone..i just got the Htc magic google ion..andnow you guys are talking about Hero on that Sexy touch pro2..man i do miss a keyboard..but the g1 was too ugly..oh well :/ i hope the touch pro2 isnt that expensive
HTC Hero with the same RAM/ROM/CPU as TP2 just got announced today as an Android phone with HTC's own touch UI additions.
http://www.intomobile.com/2009/06/2...ra-teflon-coating-coming-out-late-summer.html
Once this hits the wild and ROM hackers get on it, I think there might be further advances on Android on TP2.
BTW, check out the video. Full featured Android is not (yet), but it does look cool.

The hero doesn't have the same screen, and that is (it think) a major problem.
think the screen is not the problem. android is concepted to work withe different screen sices

I've seend video's of the touch HD on youtube where it appears that the menu had problems displaying contents while opening. (in opened and closed states it looked normal) Also third party apps will mostly be designed for standard screen size I guess even though Android itself might be capable.
Not completely related, but HTC has apparently announced that the HTC Sense UI on their Hero Android phone will be coming to future HTC WM mobiles:
http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5239
A nice alternative to Touch Flo 3D perhaps.

Manila 3..
Geniuses, pls port the Hero's Androids for our Rhodium. Dualboot is awesome. But I can see Hero hv multi-touch support. not a big deal, either it can boot with Rhodium or I have to fasting for another few months (to save money actually )to get this green robot driven gagdet.
anyone seen this yet?
i have and it looks tasty
if u havent check it out here
http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/htc-hero-details-begin-leaking-from-htcs-own-website/
any thoughts on this being ported to a winmo HD?
because it looks so much nicer than touch flo?
post your thoughts people.
My thought is that it will not be ported. It's running on android, and uses android interfaces to communicate with the device.
We could only dream that at some point our blackstones will be able to run android.. These new android phones are starting to make me regret ever getting the HD

According to the HTC press release, HTC Sense will appear on ALL future HTC phones. This should mean that we will see it on Windows Mobile phones soon. Maybe then we will see it ported to the Blackstone.
regret getting a blackstone! take a look at what u just said and re think it! lol
Yeah, I'm a sinner, sorry
bad bad bad abats!
/enjoys blackstone again
Microsoft is so slow on moving with things
Android really looks like taking off. the only thing that prevented me from going android is that it seemed very bandwidth heavy. now seeing hero and android apps ahhh.. what are they doing at microsoft!! come on guys make it easy for me to develop apps!!! get your marketplace going !! come one balmer get onto a stage and do a crazy and get us excited about windows mobile again. wm6.5 is such a cop out.
but why do all android phones have a huge chin! thats another thing letting them down in my opinion, that and that so far they are only on t mobile and voda in the uk......No thanks!

yepp....windows mobile is dying slowly That why my Blackstone is my last WiMo device...iPhone and Android have a bright future...WiMo doesn't.
after more looking this new UI is so nice, widgets and everything, better contacts management and stuff. i want i want i want! please be on a winmo device so it can be ported
android porting to HD is being worked on.. lets keep our fingers crossed
HTC SENSE, looks interesting Let's wait for new cooked rom
lol, maybe chefs here can cook up something =)
Now THAT'S some serious ui!!
Can't wait till some xda-blackstone-chef gets his hands on this one...
it is coming to Windows Mobile accoring to this...http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=5239
crosses fingers for an HD port!
I have to say that this HTC Sense UI looks great and seems to be very user friendly. I believe that sooner or later we will have "Sense" on ours Blackstones Patience...
the htc hero version can't be portet...even if android is running on the blackstone....there's a resolution problem...cause specs are as follows:
Inside you'll find Qualcomm's MSM7200A proc running Android at 528MHz, 512MB/288MB ROM/RAM, 3.2-inch TFT-LCD with 320 x 480 pixel rez, 900/2100MHz HSPA and Quad-band GSM, trackball, GPS, 802.11b/g WiFi, 3.5mm audio jack, G-sensor, compass, and 5 megapixel auto-focus cam with microSD expansion. It's all there baby.
But this ui will be available for windows mobile too...so I guess we will get a working version by the end of this years (at latest!!!).
HTC First Look Video of whats to come.....
Full promotional video from HTC can be downloaded HERE
VERY Impressive!!!!!
Expected UK Release Date 3rd July
I think this will be my next "adventure" - the main constraint for me will be Blackberry support though.....
.
Looks like Point UI.
But it is smoothhhhhhhhh! Please port ass soon ass possible!!
the new ui is based on manila, the only difference is layout.
you have to think, the original android UI is used on all previous android devices.
this is the first UI built by HTC for the android OS.
so can be easily built for WM by HTC.
so glad i spotted this and posted it before everyone else did lol
I've been looking at the HTC Hero - seen a couple of ports have come to the G1 etc..
Not sure how possible it's going to be able to port it to the HTC Touch Pro 2.
I've seen someone has already started a project to create a better WM ROM and is requesting donations towards the project.
I'd quite happily donate $50 to any reputable developer on here to port Android / Sense UI from the HTC Hero to the HTC Touch Pro 2.
So anyone who would also donate to a project like this, please vote (and specify how much you'd be willing to donate) so it may stimulate some interest in a developer picking up the project .
Also please only vote if you would seriously donate.
unless you havent heard, the htc sense interface will be coming to windows mobile in the future (straight from htc themselves). The real development will be required to flash it onto the tp2 then as it will likely only be for the new htc models to be released. As I type this in on my TP2 I would be willing to contribute towards that effort, but I think it would be too difficult to take from andriod.

It was confirmed in the press conference on the HTC meeting in London on the 24th when they announced the Hero
50 no problem if there was a guarantee the software would be ported over with no "quirks" as in, everything just worked the way it should.
maybe more then 50....
im down for $50 also
£20 here aswell NP
me 2 50$ is nothing if i 'll get Androit on my tp2
I'm down for 50$ bones! But it has to WORK that means WiFi Bluetooth everything.

I would pay €100 to get everything working on Android for sure.
Getting Androd to run and Porting Sense from Hero are two seperate things.
If you read back the whole story, you will see that Sense as as will not come to Windows Mobile in the Exact form untill maybe Toucflo3D V3.
With HTC still playing with a Beta TouchFlo 2.5 when would you exactly expect someone to port the non existing TouchFlo 3.0 that "might" have Customisable options.
Not trying to be an ass here, just unclear what is wanted here?
Android on the TP2? (Propable)
Or just Sense? (Improbaple, but probable if Android gets running)
Sense on WinMo? (No Way Hosé HTC said so)
I'd pay 50 for android on the tp2
dont even really care about sense UI ... ok maybe I care a little
but android itself should be number one, but since the hero is so similar why not?
Also I'd prefer blowing off WM completly and not messing with haret
thinking
I'm thinking to buy a TP2 or a Hero (not in a week, but within a couple off months), now using a kaiser.
If this projects will start sure i'll donate and my choice is made
Maybe this is a nice start?

Ditto... I'm deciding between the Hero and the Rhodium, and the only reason I'm leaning towards the Hero is because it comes with Android installed and therefore everything works. If Android worked better on the Rhodium than it currently does on the Kaiser (wifi,gps, etc. working without a hitch) then I'd not only buy a Rhodium, but I'd contribute to the porting effort with a donation.
I'd love to see Android coming to TP2, best with Sense UI, as a perfect match. Yes, if it works well (stable enough to do business with) I, too, will contribute $50.
I would love this port!
Well apparently it can be done. Already ported to the HTC Vouge, it's slow but the Vouge is and old and slow device so that is expected. The TP2 is probably ideal since it has the same processor and ram as the Htc Hero. We will have to wait and see.
would pay more than 50bucks
I don't know. $50 seems a bit much to pay for a new os, after just paying $350+ for a new phone. On the other hand, I love Android and TP2. I would be willing to pay some to help development of Android on TP2. But only for Android+SenseUI. I don't need senseUI on a windows build.
Alright people, after some litle research, i have found out that Android currently boots on HTC Touch Cruise ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64LYnTxhj44 ). HTC Touch Cruise is using the same processor as the HTC Touch 3G, Qualcomm MSM7225. So is there a way we can port the version from Polaris to Jade ?
C'mon people, lets start a project, as i see many PDAs out there can now successfully boot Android, lets not leave out our wonderful Jade...
WE WANT ANDROID !
Unfortunately htc touch cruise (polaris) has the msm7200 processor like the kaiser. The newer one (iolite) has the msm7225.

hhmmmm...i see, didnt realise that there was a previous version. But c'mon, no one knows how to port android to MSM7225 ?
HTC tattoo
I am also looking for ages for some android port to the MSM 7225. Now, finally, an android device similar to the Jade is coming out before october!!
And for all the people saying 320x240 is too small for android, well, the Tattoo seems to do fine with that..
http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/08/htc-tattoo-aka-click-brings-android-sense-ui-to-all/
Now we just have to wait for someone porting that android ROM to Jade..
help?
EDIT
oh and here's already the HTC official site! http://www.htc.com/www/product/tattoo/specification.html
At least android for msm7225
now it seems almost sure that at some time we will have the opportunity to run android in our phones.
oooh I CANT WAIT !
Definitely count me in as a tester !
Yeah, it will run on 320x240. But as far as I know most apps are designed for higher resolutions. So it won't be really useful.
It seems that HTC is releasing a new device based on the same processor as our jade, with Android and 2.8 screen, HTC Tattoo. Maybe there is still a hope on seeing a port to Jade
Hello ,
Have You news of this possibility "Android for HTC Jade"?
I think our phone isn't popular enough for developers to work on a port for our phone, I can't find any signs that someone is working on a port. Let's hope this changes fast!
i really hope so too, cant wait to play around with android on it !
@StewieTux
hi
u really have a point here yes our phone isnt popular and for ur info
ppc geek does not have a forum for us and it has every other HTC phone old and new but not ours even after me asking so many time now i days i don't visit the site
so i really dought if well get android unless one of our great cooks decides to do some thing regarding the same
but count me in to test any ROM for our great jade i love this phone man

The problem isn't the power of the phone, it's the type of the processor and the screen resolution. However there is still hope, Android 1.6 SDK is released and supports different screen resolutions! =>> http://developer.android.com/index.html
Hi,
I was browsing around and found a new HTC phone with Andriod 1.5 (yet to be launched). The phone is called HTC Tattoo. Refer to the following link:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_tattoo-2932.php
The hardware of this phone is almost similar to Jade ..... Same processor and screen resolution.
Look at the comparison below:
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone2=2526&idPhone1=2932
If Andriod 1.5 is possible in that phone, I am sure it can be ported to Jade. I am just wondering about the few more hardware buttons and higher ROM.

We have an unsupported processor, msm7275 (or something like that) and that's different from the gene with has an already supported model.

Hi all,
I know we've got some great cooks here, and so I'm hoping one of them will help! I have been playing with ROMs since I got my Tilt2 (ATT) and I have been pretty happy with some of them, yet still not quite completely satisfied. Some come close to what I want, but all seem somewhat finicky with my ATT phone (my wife has refused to let me play with her Verizon Touch Pro 2, something about me breaking it
For me, the holy grail of ROMs for this phone would be:
A fast, Manila 2.5+, Windows 6.5 (or 6.5.3, if its rock solid) ROM with no frills or cooked in software.
A simple user interface, something normal but snazzy looking. If it could be like the original Verizon one that'd be awesome, if not the normal HTC would be fine.
Basically, I want a stripped down speedy version of the normal HTC look, but haven't been able to find it. I MIGHT be able to learn how to cook my own, but cannot currently spare the time as I'm in grad school.
If anyone could help, that would be AWESOME!
if u dontmind trying... try DA_G rom... its built for AT&T so your keyboard will work just fine its 28206 built and lite... alot of rom and ram space... no manila 2.5 so i was using SPB mobile Shell Pro...
