Android For The Vogue Is Here!!!
android/linux for vogue. radio partially functional - only works for data atm . touchscreen reported to work pretty well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=1#post2084090
incredible. though help is still needed!! please contribute if you can. extremely useful!: http://www.myhtcphone.com/vogue-cab-installer Read everything at that page. note: running/trying android(/linux) does not require you to flash or hard-reset your device. feel free to experiment!! update: martin/dzo has now written a keyboard! note: the only way to exit android is to soft reset the device. update: voice calls now working! and better kb update: sms send/receive now working! update: internet working better now, and backlight can now be turned off update: Quote:
update: ANDROID OPEN SOURCED TODAY!! new apk's (installable package files) are up and ready for installation! dzo said to be ready with the newly compiled system.img tomorrow! (/today, its real early/late :S) THIS IS IT!! also, someone has finally stepped up to write a soft kb and is working on it! says that he's not much with graphics though, and needs some help! update: were to full complete android 1.0!!! with a bunch of working apk's and everything...its been an awesome ride so far and we hope to see a lot more come from it. getting the marketplace online and a lot of custom apps is really what is going to get this thing going. unfortunately we are again at a stalemate for a good sip . also currently lacking is good sdhc support, as well as a lot of other things lol such as good bt drivers, and gps as well as data with some providers (like sprint ...dang) update: dzo now has full power collaps working greatly, as well as dial tones in the dialer app. a new dialer skin has also been created to better fit our screen so that it is not so cramped, tho this has yet to be implemented at this stage. update: now full SD(HC) card support! YESS...and some other minor minor minor improvements (touchscreen, possibly radio functions etc..not really anything though). update: sorry I have been slacking lately...but to give a crude summary...cupcake branch merged as well as other updates and fixes. This means SIP, good way to toggle on and off the internet connection, full sd support (music and pictures as well). Most applications working well, though calendar still has issues. Pretty well usable now...though in two months or so it will likely be much more so. update: well cupcake is out the door (that means no more nice google portrait sip), and android 1.1 along w/ dzo's latest fixes is in! details of changes here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=707 How to install and run Android on the Vogue (before you do any of this, BE SURE TO BE UPDATED TO THE LATEST RADIO!! at least 3.42.30): 1. Clear/delete all previous instances/installations of Android. 2. Delete/move any files named either system or data on your card. 3. Download the latest zip package from dzo's site (here: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/) 4. Unzip package to a folder on your desktop named Android. 5. Copy and paste both the files data and system to the root of your card. 6. Create a folder named Android in the root of your device. 7. Copy and paste all other files from the folder named Android on your desktop to the folder named Android on your device. 8. Turn off GPS. 9. (If you want data to work, start up a data connection before this by starting PIE or something) Navigate to the folder called Android in the root of your device. 10. Run haret.exe (Be sure that on the first attempt you do not have an AndroidApps folder. After one successful boot you can add it.) 11. Click the little "run" button and wait. Option B for this would be to simply head over to the great site that etiger13 has set up, and download and install his cab and follow the instructions there! Super easy thx etiger. Troubleshooting: If you are having problems:
1. Download a package file (there are some here) and when saving it, be sure the extension is .apk. 2. Creat a folder on your card named "AndroidApps" (yes it must be exactly like that but w/o the quotes). 3. Place any apk files you want in that folder, sometimes calendar provider and one or two other ones are causing it not to boot. So try more out gradually as you go. 4. Just go ahead and start up Android now, that will do it. It will install them by itself on boot. Google slideme for a bunch more apk files and a very easy way to download and install If you are having problems installing apk files, be sure to give post #498 a read (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=478).

Runs nicely on my Touch...I'm impressed. Once the Touchscreen drivers are released, this would make something great to show the friends

Considering the good luck I'm having with Linux on my home PC, I'm sure happy someone is bringing it to my mobile...
