Android on motorola ZN5

HI all,
I know this might not be th ebst place to ask this question, but asking since this forum has most experience porting android. I trying to compile android for motorola zn5 (a non-touch screen, linux phone). I would like ton know ho to begin. I have downloaded the sdk and git etc.. and would like to get motorola specific files and also to extract the drived (linux) from ZN5 rom so I can use them in android too.

that will be a lot of work, the processor in the phone is not very well known and the Motorola security makes things difficult. there is potential for an openmagx project but ias hasn't started yet. join #openezx on irc.freenode.org if you're interested.

Yes that would be difficult. I used to own a ZN5, it's a shame really that it's closed-source since it runs on a Linux OS, with a decent processor. That would be really amazing though if you could get android running! I don't think the development community really exists for it though.

take a look at mmus.us and at modmymoto.com there you can find solutions.

ZN5 mods
I am interested also! I just bought a ZN5 off of Ebay, as I was trying to find a phone to replace my Kaiser. I originally thought I had to find a non-smartphone in order to escape AT&T's mandate for data plans, but did some reading today and discovered you can get a data block. Not sure if it can be done for all phones, but I've had my Kaiser/Tilt for 3 years now...so I figure it is worth a shot.
Anyhow, I am anxious to use the ZN5.

This thread was started 2 years ago, don't you think if someone had managed to do it there would be a bit more info on it?
Its not going to happen I'm afraid.
[sig]can I install android on on my Nokia 3210?[sig]

I will donate 200 bucks if somebody makes Android for hd7

I would donate 200 bucks or more if somebody makes an android rom for HTC HD7 and i bet a lot of others would donate also.
This phone is even better than hd2 why doesn't nobody want to start making an android rom for it, it shouldn't be that hard i guess.

But is the HD7 any better than a desire HD which already runs Android. I prefer the case design that's for sure - the hd7 is a pain to keep clean and the sharp edges are prone to chipping

Because most people bought the phone with intentions of using Windows Phone 7? You don't buy an iPhone to use Android do you? He is simply bringing up a valid point, the desire HD is better than the HD7 if you want Android.
Second, Windows Phone 7 is nowhere near as hackable or open as Windows Mobile on the HD2. It obviously is not that simple. Even on the HD2, it look a good half year before the early releases of Android on SD were even released.

Dacook2, all one has to do is look at your 6 posts on xda to find out who submits useless comments. First you want cab files now Android. You clearly never bothered to use the search feature, where these things have been addressed many times over.
Pro tip: do some research before you a) buy a phone and b) post troll crap on a developer forum. take your 200 dollars and buy a clue.

Why don't you just take those $200 and go register a new contract with your carrier for a new phone ?
Register with T-Mobile 2-years contract for an HD7, paid nearly $200 and then now begging someone else to make an Android for a Windows Phone.
If i don't mind, please allow me to ask you straight : "Are you $tupid?"

you are the first one who put the money where there mouth is....
hope $200/- is very big money... in indonasia at least...

Where's the mods in this section? Lock these stupid useless threads, three Android threads, one is getting filled with rants by some Sandra user, the other one you have idiots demanding you tell them how to brick their phone with clone hd7 rom, and now this? Thread needs to be locked, its useless and stupid. There are people on this board that do want to see real info on the status, not retarded threads that lead to nothing

wow you guys are really rude what kind of a community is this ?
you gang up on some new member and flame him as much as you can.
this is my topic it doesn't have to do with any other phone i made this topic only to say i would donate for this development to make somebody be interested in making it if it's money he is asking.
Why do you come and read this kind of topic if you have no interest in.
You are just here to flame new members showing off how many posts you have.
In the rules there is nothing that states about that i am not allowed to ask questions about HD7 phones and yes i have used the search button i couldn't find what i was looking for that is why i made these 2 threads.
If you don't like me that is another story pm your msn and let's talk it through but don't derail my topics saying my posts are useless of course they are useless to you because its my questions.
If somebody from you doesn't have something wise to say please GTFO of my topics.

I think the moral of the story is not to start new threads that have already been covered dozens of times.
You stated you searched for Android development but couldn't find anything, yet you posted on the "HD7 and Android" thread before starting this one? Also, when you created this topic, you must have seen where it lists topics of a similar nature?
It leads back to my question on your other thread to do with .cab files, did you not look into the phone/OS when you bought the device?
The key thing to remember is that this is a Developer forum.
Threads such as this are basically redundant. Asking questions or asking for help is fine, but requesting developers waste their time on porting over an OS that is readily available on a number of handset that look and act almost identical to the HD7 is holding back the development of this OS, which understandably annoys the Majority of us in the HD7 section.

Lets not just jump over board kids.
Donate someone to make android is quite silly. Again no one will believe such thing and 200 wouldnt be happy enough. You would donate more then 1,000 to someone but that again would be quite stupidty.. However i can understand your frustration as much as i am.
Windows phone 7 marketplace use useless wonders.. theres nothing i enjoy there for apps. I do more apps on the phone then making calls.
So lets fingers cross for android for HTC HD7 should we ? we are all together into this.
cheers
sandra

I have 39 post so you saying I'm trying to show off my count or bring rude is ridiculous.

I see a lot of good points in this thread. I personally would like to see HD7 get Android, even though there are better phones for running Android OS alone. However, I like to peak and tweak what I have, so I would enjoy having a phone running an os that isnt supposed to have it, with the option of going back (since I cant make up my mind, nor leave a perfectly good working phone alone for 10 seconds). I am currently running an HD2 with Typhoons Cyanogenmod, and I love being able to do anything I want to my phone whenever I want. I can't wait to get ahold of the HD7. I appreciate all the devs and all their hard work. I have gone through 5 different tmobile android phones in the last 6 months, and XDA has been THE site for me. I am currently trying to learn a bit about how the android os works (hardware handling, coding, etc), so I can add to the already awesome pool of devs that are here. XDA is the best, and I appreciate all the efforts.

I think we all need to remember what our mothers use to tell us "If you don't have something nice (or helpful) to say why don't you just shut yer' cakehole"
dacook2 is just trying to get something going on a great phone that won't let you do crap with it.
I think we should be asking Microsoft how the hell can they release a product that needs so much work......Hell i can't even go forward one song on my media player without unlocking my damn phone.

Remember kids. If wp7 doesnt get android for HD7 the only smart thinking is toi buy a tablet. with android built in. Never a tablet with wp7 obviously.
Tablets are now more and more available and relaly just the cost of a small price for a 10.1 sizes screen.
So we can get the tablet not an (ipad2) because are all not into apples. But a nice tablet 10.1 for android. And the phone HTC HD7 will just stay as it is with wp7 so there for u have android on the tablet and wp7 on the other device. And take the tablet around with you everywhere you go. After all a phone that that small screen is still really a small screen to beging with.
10.1 screen tablet will make you happyness.

You r going hard on him i think that his offer is good.sometimes we look for the change just because it's a change
it's not a matter of which is better wm7 or android but it's interseting to be able to use more operating systems on the same phone

Ha we're rude!! I point out to you that you're barking up the wrong tree trying to get Android running on the wp7 version of an Android phone and you start taking offence. You're just whinging because you bought the wrong phone

Excatly. I loved my HD2 and kept it for as long as I could before getting HD7. The only reason I run android on it is to see if I like it more then WP7.
All in all Android was good but interface speed was frustrating, so I tested Desires S in a shop and it worked the same way. Only now that I tested Motorola Atrix I would go with Android phone as it is easilly fast enough to run Honeycomb android on it. Normal Android is very fast on it.
You did not see what WP7 is about, what it can and can not do, what are the apps just went bought a fashion accessory like many iphone users do/did.

How to brew up an android rom for htc hd7

Hello all! I jump from phone to phone when ever I can catch a broken one to fix for nearly free. I recently ran into an HTC HD 7 and am not really vibing to the windows mobile 7, and from what I read there is not currently a pre made rom available for installing android on this device. I am pretty technologically advanced and feel confident given the right direction on how to accomplish this I would be capable of creating one. I have read a lot of information but am some what lost mainly because of some of the lingo terminology, being that I haven't hacked/developed outside of the ios platform. I can program in just about any c based language. Any one got ne thing that can help me out here? If I build one how would I install it or go about uploading it to the device? Thanks in advance for any replies I do greatly appreciate all your time! I apologize about the noobness like I said ios is whats been available to me for the past few years, and now I want android like a kid wants candy!!!

Developers/programmers have been trying to figure out how to dual boot the HD7 (like the HD2) since it came out. The main problem seems to be how WP7 is compiled .NET and C#. WP7 securitys still aren't fully unlocked.
Take a look at the Project Haret thread, they seem to be making some progress at it and if you have the know how, maybe you can contribute.

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate the reply, btw where is the thanks button? sorry this is my second post here. I started to do some research into it. I believe the answer is in the coredll.dll file which may be stating the obvious. I think the way to go about accessing this or at least what I am going to try is an attempt to gain root access with my device tethered to my comp from terminal.

Your welcome! I've read through the whole Project Haret thread and there is alot of information, (some way to complicated for me) trial and error and it looks like as of recent there has been some good progress towards getting Haret to perform and (hopefully) run kernel mode and actually boot the kernel. You might be right, give it a shot or maybe put it on the thread and see what kind of feed back you get on it!
Is your device unlocked yet so that you can gain access to it and try it out?
Personally I would love to see the HD7 dual boot WP7 and Android. Don't get me wrong... I thoroughly enjoy WP7 and love my HD7it's very smooth, fast, stable and not once has it crashed on me. I believe that it would bring a longer life experience to the device and make it that much more versatile, especially since we're nearing the end of official support.
The thanks button should be there now, under the posts.

Ok so I realize I might sound like an idiot considering everything I said can be found within the haret documentation. I originally read something found on google with inaccurate information after you told me about the project, come to find out the information I read was in no way affiliated with the the actual project haha. Forgive my stupidy, I began to read and follow along the documaton for it at htc-linux.org, the only thing I am having issue with is obtaining haretconsole to explore the device. The link on the documentation I believe no longer exists, and I can't find a source anywhere! This is pretty good stuff though thanks for linking me up with it! Have you installed the development tools or haretconsole on a linux OS by chance? I was successful with the developement tools, just need to figure out this haretconsole problem. BTW which desktop OS do you prefer?
Sadly I can't tell if my device is unlocked yet haha. I work at a university doing LAN Administration currently and used my .edu e-mail to register as a developer. I then registered my device but don't see a single difference or maybe I just am doing something wrong. How do you suggest going about that(unlocking it that is, I don't care about it being official, just figured official would be easlier)? Also for the iPhone there is a desktop application which allows you to access the filesystem called iFunBox, is there anything similar for the wp7?
I would just love android lol, I like the HTC HD7 and have always been a fan of HTC products, It definately is pretty smooth and compared to my previous device a 3gs it's lightening fast! 3g isn't supported with the 3gs on t-mobile either. My biggest issue with wp7 is the fact it doesn't do anything I want to be done in a device, I use my mobile browser ALOT and I have never seen a browser period with this many bugs, I installed safari but it's not even the same lol! For the most part I strongly strongly dislike anything related to microsoft, but unfortunately I have to work with the windows platform quite often because of my job. There just such a dirty/shady/grimmy company period, I saw a commercial yesterday advertising bing where they claimed 2 out of three people choose bing over google in a blind study............how can they advertise that when they stole googles code! lol. Also it was a pretty dirty business move of microsoft to do what your talking about with the wp8. They claim there going to continue support on 7 but we both know they all say that and do put the effort towards the legacy system for a short period of time before cutting it. Screwing Nokia out of major growth potential within the U.S. while going back on the promise made to them regarding free upgrades to 8 for 7 devices. I think they feel like there invincible just because they currently run the desktop OS market share. I think their will likely be a major change in the preferred OS within the next 10 years, just because I work in an 30,000 user enterprise that refuses to upgrade their liscensing with microsoft because of windows 8's inability to meet our needs.
Sorry if this message way to long haha

Sorry its taken me so long to get back with you... Been crazy busy!
Unfortunetly I only have Windows OS, PC and Laptop. Funny enough though, I just got my laptop back from the shop a couple weeks ago and I had to have the harddrive replaced. Last week my PC got the BSOD (blue screen of death) and I had to completly wipe and restore it.
My next computer will be a Linux OS forsure. I wish I had one currently to install Haret and play around with it!
The student registration is limited and you can only sideload a max of 3 unasigned apps. You would be better off to fully unlock your device and install a custom rom, this will give you more options to sideload as many unasighned apps as you want in the form of XAP's through IE. Access to the registry/file system and to apply hack and tweaks. you can then familurize yourself with the OS and file system.
I can help walk you through the unlock process, it's pretty easy.
Go to settings, about, more info. post back all the information from that screen. Enter your device into bootloader mode - Power device off, hold down the volume down button and power the device back on, while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into BL mode a tri-colored screen. Post back the information from that screen also.We can go from there. The proccess to unlock it basicially is to downgrade the SPL to 3.xxx or lower to install RSPL/HSPL wich will allow flashing of a custom rom.
My IE works excellent. It might be due to what build version that your device is running on. Either way once we get it unlocked there's custom roms running on Tango 8779 build with nice features and the device runs buttery smooth. there's also more mobile browsers available to install once it's unlocked, Opera Mobile,UC browser and a bunch more. There's all kinds of XAP's you can install to cusromize the device and enhance the user experience.
Totaly agree with you on the Android development for WP7 and the above statement regarding MS

Yeah for me . I love to out my hardware as a testing and development utility. So Yeah I love android and root and Need help getting the things back the company thinks it owns. Well I know better and it's all started when J3 Emerge came out and I learned root and the possible second shot like mine is that $50 was what it costed then and now same so basically I know many people have my device and the development of it is all good with the things you can always find here at Xda.

Welcome, adventurer!

Need general help with modding the X8 in 2021

So here's the deal. I got an old X8 with Android 1.6 from ebay a few months back for the fun of it and I've been trying to install cyanogenmod or something similar on it so I could use it as a portable emulation device. Now I'll be honest, I'm a complete noob. (My greatest computing achievement is installing Puppy Linux on a laptop 5 years older than the X8.) I've scowered these here forums and other places on the web far and wide but still came out unsuccessful. I couldn't even figure out how to boot it in fastboot mode, which was the hurdle that killed it for me. I think so far I've only managed to root the thing, whatever comes after just keeps flying over my head. So here's what I would like to do.
-Install apps capable of decently emulating systems such as the PS1, GBA, GBC, N64, MD, 32X...
-Connect a gamepad through USB or BT (If even physically possible)
-Preserve the media playback abilities of the device as it came, as well as the ability to take photos
-Being able to browse the web and watch videos would be kinda cool too but I know it's a stretch...
I know that all the stuff I need is probably still out there somewhere but as I said I am a *complete and utter* noob with honestly little skill and patience.
So if anyone here is willing to help me with any guidance (or perhaps even a step-by-step guide, oh my!) on how to squeeze the best out of the wee thing with the best ROM, be it Cyanogenmod or anything else, or get it to work with a proper controller with the best apps and stuff, I will be very grateful. I'll offer you my French skills if you need them lol. Also sorry for writing a text brick...

-Connect a gamepad through USB or BT (If even physically possible)
-Preserve the media playback abilities of the device as it came, as well as the ability to take photos
-Being able to browse the web and watch videos would be kinda cool too but I know it's a stretch...
I know that all the stuff I need is probably still out there somewhere but as I said I am a *complete and utter* noob with honestly little skill and patience.
So if anyone here is willing to help me with any guidance (or perhaps even a step-by-step guide, oh my!) on how to squeeze the best out of the wee thing with the best ROM, be it Cyanogenmod or anything else, or get it to work with a proper controller with the best apps and stuff, I will be very grateful. I'll offer you my French skills if you need them lol. Also sorry for writing a text brick...
