I think there's a third component there. Equipment, knowhow, time. There's people with the first two, but not the third one. I know bzo was looking at the GPS code for raph800, but he hasn't been around much lately, as far as I know.

Its worth a shot. I dont know of a programming language that isnt logic based so maybe after a week of studying the basic code I can snoop through and find the gps section and route it for raph800 setup. Anyone know what line it is in to speed things up(assuming that the editor has numbered code lines)?

The reason for camera use is the number of apps that use your camera. For example: Google goggles, (although not as effective as it will be in the future) uses your camera to do a search by image base. I have an app that scans bar codes and finds you the lowest price and closest location.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)
 

Do you think it would be possible to compare a roms code with the kernal to get a general idea of the gps layout? For example: If i snatched a raph100 rom and compared it to the android kernal and see why it works. I guess that brings up another issue. Why do custom windows mobile roms work with gps on all raphael versions without problems like this?

Is it just a matter of mapping out the correct path for android to access the gps?

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)
 

Well, these 'custom' WinMo ROMs still depend on a lot of the stuff already laid down by the actual developers of the ROM (HTC, Sprint, Microsoft, etc).

So all the drivers for the touchscreen, GPS, BT, etc are already available. Perhaps you're not quite understanding the scope of this project - it's massive. The devs @ XDA have been reverse-engineering the drivers, and honestly I'm very impressed they made it this far. It's not quite as easy as you think it is.

If you can figure out how to relate what is in a RAPH100 ROM and compare it to the Android kernel, by all means have at it. It's just not as easy as pointing you to a line number - and no, the code is not numbered. I don't think I've used a language that numbered the lines since BASIC :P

I appreciate your honesty to help me put in to perspective on whats going on here. I have been lurking this thread for some time now and have been very excited about every package release and kernal update.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)
 

Ditto. I've been eagerly awaiting a NAND to flash to our phones as well, not sure how far that is off... I keep thinking it's close, but there may be technical reasons for not having one yet, rather than just a lack of desire to build one on a buggy system.

Yeah, I've never been able to sync the calendar since i copied the files to the sd card. When i was initially setting up my gmail account it only gave me the option to sync my contacts and email. I added the corp calendar because whenever i'd tap the clock / calendar widget it would tell me application not installed

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)
 

I'm using the AIO-2010-05-11.7z file with the workaround.. that's probably the issue. Although, i did originally use the 3-31 file.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)
 

Same here. All I can do for now is hack and tinker, but kernel development is beyond my capabilities at present time.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)
 

If I've read everything right, AIO-2010-05-11.7z is built using the newer XDAndroid which is based on a "clean" 2.1 Android build. From what i read on XDANDROID forums, that has some non-essential software removed - which probably is why there is no calendar application in it.
