Some News

There's been some progress. The kernel is kinda booting now. We're still a long way's off but at least its doing something. We can now see text scrolling and a lovely picture of tux. Since LUC@X seems to have disappeared, we kinda had to start over but the xdandroid devs have been totally awesome in helping our collective asses

We kinda need to get our own team together though. I'm gonna try my best but I'm no kernel hacker, so if anyone wants to join me please don't hesitate. We DO need help!

I'm told that the reason why none of the kernels worked is because the whitestone/imagio has only one die of ram instead of two and the kernel is not programmed to recognize it. This happens on other devices too and its the reason why the topaz kernel seemed to be the only one working. Using an experimental, monodie only kernel (a later version of the one LUC@X was using), we managed to get ahead a bit.

I'll keep you guys posted but PLEASE, if you can help, please do so. We need coders mostly but also testers who can write clearly in english/spanish/german. (It's no good to test if you can't communicate the results and those are the languages we understand )

Here's a summary of the progress so far:

+ Booting on emwe's monodie kernels: Tests were performed using FRX07 and swapping kernels/modules only. The old kernel has no modules file. The Android Debugging Bridge (adb) doesn't work on either kernel.

- Using the old, experimental kernel mentioned in this [1] thread:

Produces two vibrations after haret and a white screen. The system seems to be booting meanwhile and eventually goes into power saving mode, blacking out the screen but leaving the backlight on. Using HARET scripting as indicated here [2], it produces the following log [3]. The log is all jibberish after that final error. IMPORTANT NOTE: The kernel produces no data.img when executed through HARET scripting, however it DOES spit out a data.img when executed normally through HARET. However, the screen is blank and its impossible to tell whats going on differently.

- Using linux-msm-topa100-2010-08-23-A-monodie-only-pkg provided by EMWE:

Produces two vibrations after haret and text appears on screen along with your friendly neighborhood Tux. It eventually reaches an error that loops every 120 seconds. HARETscripting logs, obtained with the same method as before, are here [1] . NOTE: This kernel does NOT produce a data.img file. With or without HARETscripting.

yes!l like andriod!!!
my imagio also hope to andros operation

各位朋友，我是中国的imagio用户，当然所持有的是走私机，因为imagio能支持两个3g网络，对我 来说非常的实用，在我们这里，cdma已经通过改写radio可以使用我们国家的cdma的uim卡！而且 可以3g数据应用！但是由于这个手机硬件的原因，在我们国家无论是rom，还是android，都没有什么 突破！也看到了论坛里的那些rom确实很漂亮，非常喜欢，也希望能拥有一个怀特。斯通的那样漂亮的rom， 希望论坛朋友能给我们发一个厨房，让我们也能做出漂亮的中文系统！

I felt like translating the post above, so here it is.

Dear friends, I was in China imagio users, of course, held by some smuggling machine, because imagio can support two 3g network is very useful to me in here, cdma radio has been rewritten by the use of our nation's cdma uim card! 3g data and can be applied! However, due to the mobile phone hardware reasons, in our country, whether rom, or android, have no break! The forum also saw those rom really beautiful, very much, hope to have a White. Stone as a beautiful rom, forum friends want to give us a kitchen, so we can make a beautiful Chinese system!

Hi there... I'm trying to compile a linux kernel for our whitestone devices, from kernel's HTC Eris source code from HTCdev - HTC Kernel Source Code and Binaries. Because that phone shares same MSM7600 processor with whitestone devices. I'm keeping the idea of the monodie memory, so I hope it works. If anyone knows it's not gonna work, please let me know.

Also, I want to extract with split_bootimg.zip the kernel (zImage) from a Eris's rom, to try off.

Any information about the startup.txt that may work with that kernel is welcome.

PD: If we share our knowledge, we could run this thing soon.
