MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

I have no idea whether CDMA will hinder this but in any case this is great news! :)

MAGLDR coming to HTC Topaz, Rhodium - Windows Phone Hacker

minor update: progress is being made! the project is probably still a ways off from being released, but a bootable sense rom has been made. Stay tuned folks!!!

update 2:
from Cotulla's twitter : "RHO's CPU is too slow and screen resolution too high for Sense,so we decide to make pure Android ROM based on Android 2.2/2.3"

VIDEO: YouTube - DFT ROH Android NAND ROM testing

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

This is great news!! Can't wait for a fully working NAND TP2 build! :D

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

I had checked the irc logs repeatedly today and was feeling preety gidddy hearing cotulla say that he actually was porting it over according to the last thign i read from him he was able to get tetris working :P

On top of that we have viruscrazy saying he had gottten bluetooth working and to top it off it seems ACL Natemcnutty and Lmiller seem to be on the cusp of getting nand to work so it was preety exciting today ...

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

Don't forget StineBD squashed system_server today with an update to RootFS

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

ooh i didnt see that one ! daym ! a few more days like today and the port could be done by the end of the week :P ....If wishes were horses, or in my case, If wishes were Ferrari's....

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

Wow... everything coming together!!! Can't wait until I'm on Android full-time. :headbang:

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

Thanks for the heads up! I'm going to grab that and try it on FRX04!

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

What's the difference between what MAGLDR does and tinboot, which is what I thought they've been using in the NAND thread?

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

I second this. What is so great about MAGLDR? I've seen it pop up here and there and heard great things, but don't exactly understand what it can really do.

Thinks its like this:
NBH installs to internal storage kinda like winmo roms.
Magldr installs to nand acting sorta like native android, then clockwork mod could be adde to make even more like nativedroid, then roms are installed through magldr

The difference is one is closed-source, written by DFT. The other is open source, originally written for the Vogue by the legendary dzo. Fortunately he made it open source, so we're able to pick it apart and try to shoehorn it onto the RHOD.

MAGLDR is closed source as I said above, and basically written from the ground up per device. Talking to some of the devs, it seems if you know how to write a bootloader it's much easier to just write your own then trying to port another to work on your hardware. However, if you don't know how to write bootloaders... yea don't have much choice but port :p.

Hope that answers the questions. There are some "advanced features" in MAGLDR, and I say the more the merrier. They both achieve the same end goal, NAND flash 'droid...

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

ive been chatting with cotulla almost every day. Guy absorbs information like a sponge so he has started to port it already.

Our nand kernel is ready for maglrd already so im just waiting for the pre-release he has promised :-p

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

YES SIR. THAT'S GREAT NEWS

:thumbleft::thumbleft:

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

is this a today type project, the pre-release that is, you think? he already has it working.... kinda... or somthin haha

update: guess cotulla got alot working today and is working on image still, which is amazing. Also full nands creepin up here

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

I hope my TP2 can be used for another 2 years by porting android into it...

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

this is great news
i wonder how will the cdma version, mainly sprint will be supported
would be cool

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

ACL user info indicate that he use cdma version, so, may be no problem

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

ACL has a CDMA phone, but cotulla has a GSM.
So MAGLDR will only be availbe for the GSM phones...Unless he somehow gets ahold of a CDMA one. :)

But we currently have NAND working on the CDMA phones.
Hopefully ACL will have something to test in the next day or two.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

I have been running the XDAndroid for my Verizon TP2, its cool to play with but not to run all day it lags alot and not all functions work properly. This news is pretty cool, but I haven't followed the HD2 version much. When available is this going to be a full port that can be flashed? I like the idea of dual boot because I still like alot of the functions of my WM.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

cotulla has flashed MAGLDR directly now, fixed usb, and cloned the kernel git to commence building.... so the man's puttin' in work today fer sure sounds like

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

Where can I go to get updated on this project? thanks

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

Cotulla's twitter account is probably the best way...

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

or right here...

It appears that the master cotulla has decided to port everything to the 2.6.32 kernel from the sapphire-tmous-MR-2.6.32-g94b855e.tar.gz he found on HTC's website. What's promiseing about this is that the HD2 magldr is based off supersonic(evo) 2.6.32 kernel as well, n has rendered nothing but great results there. In saying all this, the porting is currently taking place as I type. No holding of breath, or bugging the guy please, but one could only hope for some android htc'ness to come to our barin wvga world from these efforts. Also, it's presumably good for 2.6.35 kernel as well, getting the cotulla krisp .32 port.

Thanks man for the update. I'll be watching this closely.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

Will this potentially lead to a Bluetooth breakthrough for the RHOD? I actually just bought a Jawbone Era(incredible device, btw) and therefore will be holding off on utilizing the Droid ports until BT works with at least the call audio.

Do nooooooot, hold your breath bro....

Update: No update, Cotulla has t-mo rom booting...

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

so i had the privledge to witness personally via .3pg video: NAND MAGLDR Sense, on the rhodium.... This video will not be release, so please do not ask. The fact that we know this is amazing enough. The tim eis not right for mass viewing because only 2d is currently functional, 3d is yet to be implemented. Thus meaning that the bootable awesomeness is very laggy and cumbersome... So hopefully, and to my belief, 3d implementation will make sense scream, comparatively, on our phones.....

Thank you Cotulla, you are the business. (as well as the DFT team)

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

Thanks ,we known this is an hard work, all we can do is wait and thanks for DFT.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

yup. you have the correct mentality bro

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

gave cotulla everything he needed for 3d.. so he should be running soon. This is what happens when you try to do everything from scratch.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium
 

Thanks to both of you for all the effort you guys have put into this community project!!!

And thanks to the DFT for choosing to support the TP2! :headbang:

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

I just found out there was an update on DFT forum. I hate the high resolution of the screen now....:(

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

I dont know if this posted somewhere but wat is the significance of having MAGLDR? Will Android run much better with full functionality because of it? Sorry just trying to understand it better.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

You obviously didn't search though even 4 freaking pages. Not to sound like a PITA, but just freaking read, at least the first page of this thread, it's explained there. I'm not even gonna link it I'm getting so sick and tired of people not even bothering to read one bit. God bless all of you guys, not sure how the people are gonna make it in the real world needing to be spoon fed everything cuz no one wants to do anything for themselves, even something as simple as reading.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

So, ive been reading this thread since it started, we have talked about MADLDR being another choice for NAND, and whether it would be helpful for bluetooth, but there isnt any talk about how this would progress our search for getting full functionality of our phones. I guess the significance is kind of outlined, but i was mainly thinking about how it would help us with getting all the features of our phone to work. And whether it would actually help our phones run faster, because the video that was recently posted didnt seem that way. I mean i guess i was wrong to ask what its significance is because that was listed but I was mainly wondering whether it would progress us in. Sorry i didnt make my question clear

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

You forget that nand is actually a missing feature from haret. So yes, going nand is getting the device closer to completion.

BT and the rest are already floating around. So functionality wise its almost all there. NAND will be a debate for alot of people. I notice some love the ability to jump back and forth between winmo and android. But others want to run it natively which is why nand is around. Speed? well i think there is room for some improvements. But right now i think the devs are mainly concerned with getting the functionality down. The commits latey have been somewhat ugly but can be fixed easily.

Cotulla is having some issues with sense. Thing is sense is a resource hog and really poorly implemented by htc. I guess when you have devices with such high horsepower as the Evo it really doesnt matter. I'm a little bothered that the sense build was not released to the public. But ohh well, thats how it goes.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

thanks acl. yeah i like the fact i can switch back and forth because then i can update the PRL and quick gps too. I have been trying to use android 100% of the time but the only thing that holds me back right now is the 3.5mm jack. I just get really excited when I see any progress.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

Updating PRL etc. full nand.

Re: MAGLDR being ported to Rhodium ***UPDATED with VIDEO***
 

Was gonna appologize in PM but I'll do it in public. Sorry for jumping down your throat, as you well know, many times people don't bother reading and just ask questions that have already been answered. Sorry for jumping at you just for not clarifying your question!!
