Hi,
I would like to know if there is way to install just android without install Windows Mobile rom ?
I mean that the Android boot without using WM ...
At the moment no, I think we lack a bootloader to start booting the rom, also Android is not yet stable enough to use as a stand-alone OS for our phones, I'm certain it will all come together in time, much as the Familiar Linux Project did on the Ipaq series of PDA's.
Until then we have the best compromise, useable android, with the comfort of having WM still available for when we really need it.
Moved as not ROM Development....
take a look at

to understand the state-of-art of flashing Kaiser to nand ....
I'm posting a very very VERY light ROM that can be used to boot the various Android releases floating around this forum. GenY's DualBoot application is cooked in for easy of launching Haret.exe.
Do not download this ROM to use as a regular Windows phone. It has NOTHING in it but drivers and 21889. It's almost useless, for anything but booting android. Thanks and enjoy
The ROM can be found here http://hotfile.com/list/93322/b5a2687
Just pick the Android ROM which should be no bigger than 70 Megs
I will keep this updated as the COM2 builds progress... No need to build this type of ROM with the newer COM branches
You COULD use this ROM to try out apps, maybe even run SPB Mobile Shell or something like that, but keep in mind it's bare as can be, as in, nothing installed on it and nothing on the start menu
Just to clarify.. this is NOT an Android ROM. It's a clean WM ROM used to boot Android from the Storage Card. You will need to find an Android package to install to your Storage Card first

One more.. just in case
So Android is ported enough to be usable?
So Android is ported enough to be usable? Oh and 'first'! Because it's my first time to be the first poster- not because I'm the first poster.
Love your work by the way. I'm sure you hear it all the time, but one more can't hurt right?
Great!
I am really glad to see you do this. This was badly needed as the dev. in rhodium for Android is way behind. Thanks! Also, I just DL'd your lates & I will be sending you some brn files for action screen to match. I hope you like 'em.

I agree... it seems nobody was doing a bare bones, drivers & SYS only, ROM for the android guys to get their groove on, so hopefully this helps

Does this rom still give option to use wifi router?
Thank you for the lite rom NRGZ28. I'm still debating giving this a try....My Energy Rom is so freakin sweeeet right now, I may wait a little while.
It's Great,Thanks NRGZ28!
That is good news!
Thanks a lot!

Did you not read the first post ?
It's possible to apply this ROM into HD2 ?
HD2 Android
I also would like to know if it is possible to make the HD2 run android system. Boy that will be great, I was eager to try an android phone, but, i liked the HD2 specs and if i can make it run both it will be great news.
i tried it and it doesn't work CustomRuu say that the ROM is not for my mobile

Pretty obvious since you found this in the TOUCH PRO 2 forum !
Works great with your Android Super Lite ROM. I ended up installing Gen.Y Dual Boot and full EnergyRom because Android port is still missing many features.
Thanks for the post to the MJG Android build. Works great except for the things you mentioned in the first entry.
this is sweet i have been running the android since mornin nd everything is solid stable and smooth but wifi n camera n other stuff doesnt work and my ringone works great job NRG
reserved for later fixes on android. tnx for building a light rom to run android hopefully more motivation is pushed on the development of android running on rhodium
Can any of you guys post some screen shots of the rom... Thanks
can u shine some light NRG
my questions is how does having a light bare windows mobile rom benefit running android? im not sure why i would want a striped rom over a regular rom to boot android off of...? does it allow more ram for when android boots up?
As someone who is a Linux user.
I find it incredibly frustrating that the only way to install custom roms seems to be using odin.
Why is this?
I love my SGS but i may have to ditch it in facour of a phone i can mod without the need for a windows app.
I never had any need for a flashing app with my old G1.
Why is the Galxy S different?
for the very same reasons
one of the DEVeloper in the SGS community have created already a Linux flashing tool, but it's still in alpha stage
Search engine is down, can't find you the link
Thanks.
My GoogleFu must be failing me.
I cant find any reference to what you mentioned anywhere.
I dont understand. In my experience to install roms its usually a case of DL to sd card reboot into the bootloader. Then flash the rom followed by google apps.
Why is the Galaxy S so awkward?
ummm...actually you don't need odin to flash custom roms.
it's unofficial roms that needs odin. custom roms still go the update.zip manner. sadly, custom roms are still built on top of those unofficial roms, so you'll still need odin.
So either way im still screwed because Sammy insist on using Kies for their updates.
Can't be helped....like it or not, Linux is pretty much a fringe OS. Samsung ain't gonna support it anytime soon.

Im not asking them to.
All they need to do is stop insisting on people using their crappy proprietry app for upgrades and roll out OTA updates. Like most other manufacturers.
People should not be penalised for not using windows.
I have never used windows. Before i used linux i was using OSX i gather Kies and Odin are not available for them either.
here is the topic i was trying to find when the search engien was down

Looks promising.
Thanks for your help.

Oh well, that's entirely Samsung's fault. I have no idea why they are one of the minority Android manufacturer that doesn't do OTA.
But their Froyo roms appears to have OTA built in....something to look forward to.

OTA with FroYo? I thought even after FroYo Samsung would always stick with there beloved Kies.

Hi all develoers here. Salute to you all for whatever you did for our milestone.
Just a noob question. Is by any chance, by stripping down, or by any magic, is there a possibility to port Android 3.0 for Milestone? Is it possible?
http://developer.android.com already released information and sdk about 3.0. Any expert comments about hardware requirement or any hardware comparisaon details available yet?
I have seen many chinese android tablets and devices with same or lower configuration than milestone running with higher versions like 2.3.3 and some even claiming to have 3.0. (There are already many 3.0 tablets on ebay with lower configuration than Milestone. http://cgi.ebay.in/BRAND-NEW-8GB-7-...31243148?pt=IN_PC_Laptops&hash=item4cf532848c )
Any possible luck? Any experts there?
The old HTC G1 even can run 3.0 (just for fun, nothing more) so i think MS can run 3.0 (but...just for fun, nothing more...^_^).
As sayd, maybe MM can run 3.0 with some hack/tweak/mods, but nothing farther...
Google says that 3.0 is for tablets intended, 2.3/2.4 and so on for mobile
MM can't run Honeycomb, cause we have locked bootloader.
I can't imagine Honeycomb with Froyo kernel

Then why not for fun? When other low-configured devices can run 3.0 seriously, then why not on Milestone, which actually have good confi?

Do you still believe that developers should stick to what google or anyone else said? Most of the new tablets runnung 3.0 have similar configurations and even resolution of milestone.

Do not agree. Milestone is already rooted and thousands of experimets with GB is already done. Seems you dont visit milestone rom developement section. Its always better to get some information before commenting with dead ends.
Anyways thanks all for your inputs.
Are they still trying to Bruteforce open the bootloader? Or did they give up?
It's still open at www.androinc.net, but most of us don't trust the project since the source was never released and it just seems shady.
almost a month over, but no useful information from motorola nor any developers. Seems motorola bootloader will never be cracked in future.

You are wrong. All the latest rom available for MM is over froyo kernel and no GB as you stated. Yes we now run GB on our MM but the Kernel still Froyo. I think YOU should start read the DEV section a bit more instead of saying this things.
Peace

Google has clearly stated that Android 3.0 is only meant for tablet use.
Hey there,
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering why so many people use linux to build android apps. Shouldn't Android Studio be the same for both the operative systems? I've got a pretty decent computer, so I don't think I could see any speed difference. Currently I have both OS installed on my hard disk.
bad thinking
Its really bad thinking

What do you mean?
There is no big difference in developing android apps on Linux or win or mac . Linux is preferred because its free and android ROM and kernel development is easy on Linux compared to Mac and windows. Otherwise app development is same on all three OS .
