Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Anyone interested in helping me with development of porting Linux/Android onto the Treo Pro?
We have HaRET released for reverse engineering and kernel loading purposes.

Let me know.

I'll be a tester.....

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

lol, this is a big undertaking, the testing will be done by the developers...

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

I'd like to help, but haven't worked on anything like this. C++ and java programming here.

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

What kind of help are you looking for?

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

thank goodness someone else is interested in this..the treo pro is the perfect device for quick searching with google's universal search, so i can't wait for it to happen. I think we're ALOT closer than we think. Here's what I've found out from my little bit of working on it. Since our device is the 7501a it's basically very similar to the diamond/raphael. I've been talking on #htc-linux and on xda with phhusson about adding support to the android/raphael kernel project at http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/ because it tried the regular build for the raphael and it boots to android using MTYPE 1910 in the startup.txt. The last build that did work was from November 19th as there were changes after that to allow more memory for the diamond and raphael (but it doesn't work with our treos). The problem holding me back was RESOLUTION. - 320 x 320 isn't standard but does work on android (see i780). I've emailed xsasha on xda about how he got it to work for 320 x 320 and he said you have to go our boards file in kernel (/arch/arm/...) and need to set it to a 320x319 as Android can't deal with x being the same as y. It uses the width:height to determine portrait or landscape. So 320x319 will be portrait. phussen is going to try to add an MTYPE into the kernel for our treo with the resolution changes and the memory config to work. I can't work on it too much right now, so you should go to #htc-linux on freenode (phussen is phh) or the diamond/raph thread at xda http://forum.xda-developers.com/priv...m&pmid=1759238
In terms of the phone part/network/data I think people are working on that, so hopefully as they make developments on that I can be ported to our treos.
Glad ppl are interested in this too!

Yeah, we have the same cpu as the Vogue as well. Most of the works is done for us already, we just have to piece it together :P

We'll probably have to get reverse engineer some drivers, but, shouldn't be too difficult.

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

AWESOME!!

However, for all of us app lovers, are there alot of apps available?

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

phusson added support for the treo pro to the kernel...MTYPE 2426.

http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/

I don't know if it works or what changes need to be made, but at least it's a base to build off of.

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

will you support the gsm tp?

I found this post on xda

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Has anyone tried this?

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

I'm working on it now.

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Does it work?

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

It just reboots my phone. I don't know if it's a HaRET issue or not. It says Loading Linux, and vibrates the phone twice, and reboots.
It could be my configuration, no way for me to know.

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

I cant find startups/diamond.txt ,can you find it in the files?

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Yeah, I have everything I should need.

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

It's in the Android-Donut-htclinux-15-11-09 package.

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Do you get them just from the files below?

http://zimages.googlecode.com/svn/tr...129_134747.tar

I have download them and just found something below

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

I see, thx

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

I think the latest haret for our device is at http://www.netripper.com/leo/haret-matbeez.exe

Re: [CDMA/7501A] Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

This is so awesome

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

I download the Android-Donut-htclinux-15-11-09 package,and run the haret.exe.
It shows 'HaRet : Booting Linux...' and stops here for quite a long time.
All I can do now is reboot my treo pro

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

acidhax, maybe you can contact phhusson on xda for the test

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Something news?

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

phh is working on getting proper kernel support. Once that happens, there will be something new.

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Awesome! :headbang:

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

You guys are fast. I was just starting to look into this, to see if the Vogue kernel / haret boots, and you're already a few laps around the track.

I'm so glad the dam is breaking on the Treo Pro. *Finally*

Now I'll see if I can boot that kernel from xda on my first-gen 400MHz GSM.

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Ah, the kernel is reportedly broken. Don't even bother. I'm testing out some more images as phh releases them.

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Are there any other Linux alternatives to Android? I am not a big fan of the idea of being tied into the Googleverse...

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Either way, Android for our device is probably a good length of time away. A booting kernel is only the first step. Reverse engineering drivers that aren't on any of the other devices -- well -- that's a whole new game.

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

So...can I pencil you in for next week? :)

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

I actually was looking into this as well, after playing with androkkid and being kind of let down in overall appearance/performance. I did a few searches to see how porting android was coming along, but didn't get too far because I had no idea where to start.

I have a good deal of programming experience, just need some help finding out what to actually do, Electrical Engineering degree on board. If there is something I can work on i'll be happy to help get it rolling once some drivers are out and need to be "reverse engineered" to our device.

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

I'm so excited that progress is being made in this area. I checked around the forum and someone has ported talk and text. So far calls can be made but only one side can be heard. Check the end of this thread-

Waiting on a working kernel. When it becomes available, I'll let yas know ;D

Text, talk, data, and wifi ported to touch pro. Can't wait to see how Android works on the Treo Pro. I'll be happy if I can just try out some of the apps.

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Nobody cares about the Touch PRO. :sleepy2:

Re: Interested in helping Linux/Android development?
 

Actually, we have the same chipset. So yes, we do care.
