i have tried with the kernel here http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/himalaya/zImage-himalaya and use the android.bin(set INITRD) from http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/kaiser-bootkit/android.bin
The touchscreen and buttons didn't work.

hmm i did try from the kaiser too, but i guess it was the old builds..i found from somewhere a collection of intrids too..but didnt pass the boot screen

hi people, its possible to run Android on Himalaya? I thing mayber after long development?

@ather90: Do u know the version of this kernel http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/himalaya/zImage-himalaya

yes i did try it, but it stucked at the loading intrid...
im sorry bt i cannot help you as you already know why!
btw, i successfully booted Gentoo on my wizard last night

Question before flashing my device...

Hello all, first off this is the absolute BEST PDA forum around. And Ive found just about all information I need. I JUST NOW successfully HardSPLed my device! W00T! Ive looked around and cant answer my last question though, I want to use a rom that is a WM6.1 bc I want threaded text, ive currently got wm6 on my T-Mo Wing (Herald) or whatever you guys like to call it lol. Do I need to do anything before flashing the WM6.1 Rom? Any suggestions on what Rom to use? I really like the idea of touch flo! Any help is appreciated!

Okay, Sir.
First off all you should know that I'm kinda new to the XDA scene as well but I've manage to flash my device right at the first attempt. What you have to do is following:
1. HardSPL your device
2. Check bootloader if process was successful
3. Get the RUU and put your *.nbh into the RUU folder (Image)
4. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps
That's it. Be sure to be ActiveSynced all the time!
Oh and for the ROM request: I can strongly suggest OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D - a pretty nice ROM imho.
If there are any questions left don't hesitate to ask
Cheers

i'll recommend the easier flash method, as long as you have a microSD card. you can download any rom image your wish to flash, and place it in the root directory of the sd card as HERAIMG.nbh (i beilieve. look it up, i haven't flashed in a while). just hold the camera button down as you turn on the device, and it'll load into bootloader mode. from there, just follow the instructions.
while opentouch and many other roms that already have many programs are nice, i always recommend the exact opposite. the best and fastest rom i have ever used is just2clean. it has tons of free memory left, and just the basics pre-installed. makes a great base to install just what you want, and easily be able to remove what you don't.

Awesome. Thank you both for the info! I think im gonna go with OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D. Ive seen youtube vids on it and it looks appealing.... Thanks again... Going to update as soon as i get off work =P. Will post if i have any problems. But maybe ill ask a last question, will OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D leave me much space left over after the flash?

Around 30MB afaik. If you need more space for apps etc. try the JustMe ROM with up to 70MB of free storage.
Cheers

Ok so i couldnt actually find the download link to 7.7, like i click on the 7.7 link in his sig, but couldnt actually fond the download. but i read clear thru the forum and found V7.3..... Successful install...Now I think im gonna try his windows vista beta. Thanks for the help!

Well, have fun at reflashing Here are the links to build V7.7
Click

Lol im d/l it now. Got sent home from work bc of power failur... yay. But where did u find the link? i looked ALL over lastnight. The Touch IT Vista Beta worked well but i was really wanting this Open Touch 7.7 so im flashing again! Once again thanks... See ya on the other threads!

It's there at the very bottom.
Mirrors:
This mirror pretty much has all roms from version 7.0 - 7.7 which is the most current.
Provided by coburn_c
Version 7.7 has been added and is in a folder called Version 7.7.

For X1...

I just want a ROM that is:
1. Unintsallable
2. Fast, stable and glitch-free.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
6. Landscape mode preferred.
As you may have guessed, im a noob. But I just wanted to know as there is like a sea of ROMs and it becomes very difficult for a person not very knowledgable like me to pick one. I just want 2 things most importantly, that it shud be panel-installable and shud support landscape mode, along wiht being stable.
Thanx a ton guys!!

I don't understand your 1st and 3rd point. All roms can be replaced.
I personally dislike having Touchflo as is a bit unstable for me. If you want 6.5 I've used this for weeks, the barebones version, link and its been pretty stable on me.
Read other threads asking about rom choices too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590874

sweet..by
1. i meant it can be uninstalled if it gives some problem...(i raed sumwhere its a pain to remove it from ur system)
and
3. by that i meant, that it is only installed in a panel, not in the whole sys..as in i dont want the OS to change, i want X1 OS but only one panel can be HTC's touch flo

Use a stock ROM or cook your own.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
Get an HTC phone then.
6. Landscape mode preferred.

Read what I typed above in red.

tahnx Im Packing...
though i get your humour(and frustration with the number of noob questions being asked everyday)
but plz understand, I am an original noob. I dont understand wht u mean by "cook your ROM"
also, the very fact i have posted this Question, is that there are so many ROMs.
Like see, there are many ways to run a Mac on ure PC (iAtkos, Kalyway etc) but I used Kalyway..so here i cant find my Kalyway...
is ITJE's ROM good??heard about it...
plz suggest specific ROM so that i dont have to do a lot of RND with my (brand new) phone...thanx a lot once again.

Here is my suggestion for you. Just try a rom for one week and see which one fit you the best. It's very easy ans SAFE to install new rom and every rom has it plus and minus. I personally install different rom every other date because i want to have the newest stuff for my phone.

I think you misunderstand what ROMs are. I think you should read the Wiki first. Then read the stickies. Then if you have questions try searching first, and then you should fire away with questions.
The questions you are posing now are not ROM related they are software related. If you really want to flash a ROM then you should first read what a ROM (Read-Only Memory) is and why you would want to flash one and what HARD-SPL is and how to prevent bricking. If you are not ready for a custom ROM then perhaps you should just stick to some of the many cabs that are available here.
Hopefully this will give you a starting place. Just opening a thread to ask nonsensical things is not going to be productive for you, and will only confuse or irritate more experienced members. If you have a basic understanding everything should fall into place after that. Good luck.

Thanx Hannigan174..i appreciate ure help and apologize for posting this Question. u are right, i actually dont understand what ROMs are in trems of X1....
But i wil take ur suggestion...i wil first try out diff ROMs and then post a query...

I understand what you want: a theme or a application not flash your phone with another ROM, is it?
Try check this out... and this ... also try this
Also you may check this one and this
Good luck

i wil save all u guys some trouble:
this is what i want.....

did you ever flashed youre phone? there are alot of roms just like the one in the video. just pick a random manila 2.1 rom and ure done. i dont know why u want tf3d be uninstallable. u can just deactivate it. what means "should only require soft reset"? u dont want to flash ure phone but install tf3d via cabs instead? well then search for the thread, it is possible but aint that good and fast as a complete optimized rom

what you see is the Manila user-interface, can be any ROM currently had it cooked unless stated differently. And it can be of 2.1 or 2.5 (Leo), and installable under pure or clean rom.
Just read the stickies first under the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM development thread. First step, you're going to need to flash HardSPL, then flash any ROM you like with the Manila interface.
This/URL] is one of the example, always read last pages to see the current issues on the latest build, then pick your choice

thanx a lot deep throat...i wil try out different ROMs and see which is the best. Also, i just got my X1 and it has 9 movies..but i can unlock only 1....can i be a little greedy and unlock atleast 2[my GF wants to see Zohan and I want to see Da Vinci...u know how GFs are...]

I dont really get it... what did you mean by unlocking ? and what 9 movies?

my micro SD card has 9 movies...MIB, da cinchi code..etc... can unlock it..i have a Sony Pictures app also..it lets me see the trailer of each film and then i can unlock the whole film..and watch it

the more i read, the more im gettin confused...there is this software on one hand cutsomRUU...
then there is a cab availbale, then there is also the hardUSPL or something...
this is just getting more complicated, im eading the sticky threads but to no avail....can any1 plz help me how to get whats in the video..step by step with links...plz, its a humble request...

everything is explained in this sticky thread. just follow the steps. do a backup of your important data before u start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
but i really think u have no clue what u are facing by flashing ure device. every data on youre phone (not those on youre storage card) will be lost and all the programms u installed will be gone so u have to reinstall them after flash. by flashing ure device u will completely remove everything thats on ure phone and relace it with the new rom. did u ever updated youre device via seus?
the sony pictures app will be gone also and then u probably will not be able to watch your movies u have on youre card. unless u have this as a cab somewhere.

I've always recommended SPB Warehouse Backup. I made a thread, though nobody commented on it...but IMHO, and I gtrab and Siruis [X] are now using them, it's the best backup/restore program out there. It allows you to restore all your PIM and programs after flashing your phone.
The trial allows you to use it for 5 times before having to purchase a license. It's well worth it as custom ROMs are coming out every couple days or so, it saves time, effort, and the frustration of having to constantly restore your phone manually.

please help No Market app

Sorry for being a noob, i have the g1 dream sim free, it has 1.5 on it it has no market app. and when i hard reset it does not ask me to register but comes straight to home screen with clock
base - 62.41s.20.13u_2.22.16.17
kernel - 2.6.27.00205-gf2dabco [email protected] #15
build - 125040
how can i update this device please help.

I think if you know your kernel etc. you have root rights, am I right?
If yes, just flash the google apps. You find the link in the cyanogen 5.0.7 thread.
If not, I don´t know what you can do

not sure what right i have, m looking for the goole apps .. but is there a market app which can be installed, thanks for your reply by the way. though i was lost for a bit

I'm confused...so did you fix it?

gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed
search for that ^

nope have not fixed it yet. seems like its a original dev phone but it came boxed brand new. in the mean time, the data sync does not open
and
system update gives the error - com.setting error or something like that..
im looking into gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip, thanks for all your help..

You can get Gapps from here:
http://kanged.net/mirror/download.ph...36B-signed.zip
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
However Gapps is not an .apk file. You need to flash Gapps with the help of a recovery ROM & for that you need to have Android SDK installed. If all this is latin and greek to you; you should visit here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442480
Click to expand...

I would also suggest you to go through ROM Bible sticky in this section.
Alternatively you can unzip gapps file and look for marketUpdater.apk in system>app folder and install it manually. I have not tried this method ever but you can give it a shot; it will not brick your phone.

Thanks for the answer guys, i think i have a dev phone had a look at the rom bible so i can root i . but i dont know what rc versoin the device is cos this does not exist in the build number as in post one. also can you recommend a stable rom update for a beginner.

at amitabhishek the first link you have posted does not work, also is there a way to root a dev phone, or is it already unlocked dont want to try a rom and brick the phone.

Moved as not Android Development.

Best thing i can suggest is to take some time and have a read around the forum you will soon get to know things that you want to try out. Before i did anything i picked a ROM that i liked found out how to flash it and then decided on which software that i wanted (if it wasn't included). Basicly so i had as few settings to change as possible after flashing

Check out the link in my signature for some great flashing resources.
Resco Explorer is a good file exporer

Thnx...
Thnx Man
