Android on Apache
 

How many of you would like to run Android on your apache?


I am in the process of taking the build that was made for the Vouge and decompiling it all to get the base from it so i can merge it with the Xanadux release. and hopefully getting the cdma module to work. Wish me luck. I will take requests from people to beta test in about a week if I see enough paramount to continue this.
:headbang:


For those of you who dont know what Android is, here is a link for you to read about it.



The Android platform is a software stack for mobile devices including an operating system, middleware and key applications. Applications are written using the Java programming language and run on Dalvik, a custom virtual machine designed for embedded use which runs on top of a Linux kernel.

Good luck. You're gonna need it.

Re: Android on Apache
 

Definitly best of luck to u!!! I can beta test it also!!:mrgreen:

Re: Android on Apache
 

I can beta in July when I get my iPhone.

Re: Android on Apache
 

well for the people that want to beta test, it will not require modification of your phone and will cause no harm. you will be running the HaRet bootloader program and it will load it all into memory. no need to flash

Re: Android on Apache
 

Oh, yeah. Forgot about that. I'm game.

Re: Android on Apache
 

thanks for your support. i have a feeling that the cdma module will be the most difficult to achieve.

Re: Android on Apache
 

Sign me up for the Beta Test also - I can't wait to rock Android on the Apache - Good Luck I know it could be done and you just might be the one to do it.

Re: Android on Apache
 

This is where I am getting my Apache modules from. As it stands, still have to make the cdma, camera and battery control working aswell.

Re: Android on Apache
 

good luck,
I've got an apache collecting dust.

Re: Android on Apache
 

mine's not quite collecting dust; had to reactivate it after I messed up my vogue, but it'll be on the shelf in the next couple of weeks. Whether activated or using wifi only, I'm definitely game to use it for beta testing.

Re: Android on Apache
 

I'm in to help however I can but I have no apache atm... I am working on an android port for the Axim x51v

Re: Android on Apache
 

Isn't the Vogue running a custom compiled version for the MSM72/75xx chipsets? Doesn't the Apache have an Intel processor?

Re: Android on Apache
 

I noticed that. http://forum.lennysh.com/forumdisplay.php?f=120

Re: Android on Apache
 

You are correct. That is why i am using source from the Xanadux distro for my modules. The base is Linux driven, so I can easliy move over the correct modules and drivers to the new platform. Then just have it load Android. If it were only as easy as it sounds.

Re: Android on Apache
 

count me in for beta testing also.........if you can do it im game 4sho

Re: Android on Apache
 

How does one obtain Android, anyhow? All I can get my hands on is the SDK.

Re: Android on Apache
 

I extracted it from the emulator package that with the sdk

as far as the actual source code, it hasnt been released yet

Re: Android on Apache
 

Ah, that makes sense.

Re: Android on Apache
 

well for those of you who have been keeping up here is some news.


i now have a working kernel patched with the android drivers
i included a busybox shell to make it easier as the utilities that come with the android package are very base. it doesnt even come with tar or gzip or telnet for that matter.

just letting yall know.

its starting to come together

i will try and get some pictures up later. im at work currently

Re: Android on Apache
 

I use my 6700 daily. I'll test it out for ya.

Re: Android on Apache
 

LOL, the ONLY time I'm on here is AT work!! :mrgreen:

Re: Android on Apache
 

my 6700 is waiting for this - I use it daily and await your first release

Re: Android on Apache
 

I will be happy to test. Good luck.

Re: Android on Apache
 

omg i want to test it out too!! goodluck

Re: Android on Apache
 

Put me down for the beta...I have a spare....

Re: Android on Apache
 

you are a stud if you can make this happen

Re: Android on Apache
 

Well thanks guys. I'm glad that I have so much support from yall (yes im from the south). lol

Re: Android on Apache
 

i'd be willing to test this in a SECOND given the opportunity! good luck!

Re: Android on Apache
 

I'm in... definitely!

Re: Android on Apache
 

Count me in. I keep playing with my 6700, surprised I haven't bricked it yet..had a scare a month ago..but it came bck to life.

Re: Android on Apache
 

i don't see why anyone wouldn't want to at least try android on their apache (or any other device for that matter). i would love to see it, and will definitely use it as soon as it is available!

Re: Android on Apache
 

i'm in for a try too... beta test for me

Re: Android on Apache
 

I definitely would be willing to test it out! I would love to ditch WM!

Re: Android on Apache
 

It seems to me that there is quite a bit of interest in this project; why has support stalled on handhelds.org. Somebody out here has to be qualified to contribute something of worth... i hope. go to the #htc-linux irc room... in particular talk to Kevin O'Connor. He seems to know a thing or two.
