HTC Shift and Android... is there a way? - Shift General

Hi to everyone,
I'd like to buy this device, now it's street priced at 500 euro but before I do that, I would like know if there's any way to get it into the Android platform.
As far as I read nobody speaked about that and for that I opened this thread.
What do you know about?
Cheers,

If you are thinking of trying Android like what have been tried on other devices (i.e. via SD card loading) there lies the first essential problem. There is no SD card on mobile side. Crack this and you probably can start on the Android issue.

Hi. I use a translator from Russian into English so that not worry.
I did so.
Download the Android x86 with http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/eeepc-20090820.iso.
Install an image through unetbootion on USB stick. Start. Start the installation on the hard disk. Formatted for ext2. Rebooted. Yes, with the appearance of the boot to choose the first row, press the "e" (for her editing) and another "e". Append the following line to vga = 788. Press Enter. Then click "b" to boot. When you boot, you will need to press the button and select the video mode, I chose 8. And voila.
Camera works. Better than eeepc900. (It also tried to) the rest did not try it, they say you can start the WIFI, but I'm not good at Linux.
Maybe someone will try harder to establish all the drivers?

nice finding! but everyone is still wanting to replace windows mobile with android or other linux.

This seems to be an installation on the PC side of the Shift. I think the poster knows how to install full linux on the PC side. He is interested in Android on the snapvue side.

It would be great. I saw somewhere on the internet post installation Androida place for WM. If turn out otpishus. While hardly on the side of wm memory only 50 mb (if I'm not mistaken) and for Androida need more.

Yep and we don`t even have bootable kernel yet, unless Neutron83 has founded out something, as he was working with this. There is another topic about this..

LINUX BOOTS at OPAL! Thanks to linwizard project!

Hi there,
I got Linux to boot at OPAL via linwizard project. Here are steps needed to get it work.
1) download image from:
http://tinderbox.x86.dev.gentoo.org/embedded/linwizard/gizard-20080602.tar.bz2
2) copy content of file to the microSD card
3) edit default txt and replace init=/linuxrc with init=/bin/sh
4) run haret and let it boot.
After a while you'll get to shell. No graphics.
Now you can attach microusb cable and connect it with your linux laptop (I recommend ubuntu)
and you will get usb0 interfece to start up.
Which IP to use to connect with OPAL I still must investigate.
Well ip connectivity now works:
ip=<client-ip>:<server-ip>:<gw-ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>
Notas:/# ifconfig usb0 up 192.168.2.200 netmask 255.255.255.0
Listik:/usr/src/linux-2.6.27/Documentation# ping 192.168.2.202
PING 192.168.2.202 (192.168.2.202) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.2.202: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.95 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.2.202: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.72 ms
And how to do it:
prolong "set CMDLINE" line with
ip=192.168.2.202:192.168.2.200:192.168.2.200pal:usb0
But in this image there doesn't seem to be any telnet/ssh server running. I will try cook image with ssh server support later
Download error
Were not able to re-upload
404 file not found error!!
http://tinderbox.x86.dev.gentoo.org/embedded/linwizard/
and open latest gizard-<date>.tar.bz2
or that I suppose.
The latest link should be http://tinderbox.x86.dev.gentoo.org/embedded/linwizard/gizard-20090703.tar.bz2
does this mean any chance of android working? anyone tried?
Hey,
I'm a new Opal user and I'm interested in getting *nix running on my device. I still haven't had the chance to mess around with this stuff but I'm excited to see this thread.
I was looking into the possibility of running Android on the Opal and it seems the closest thing is this thread bout running it on the Herald (it uses the same processor as the Opal).
I don't any experience in Linux porting so I thought I'd share this, in case anyone else is interested. And at the same time, I'll try to see if I can get something working based on what has been/is being done for other devices.
Sorry for the long post.
Hey Folks,
Any progress on getting Android on Opal? I am eagerly waiting to load one.
Kindly let me know, if this version of Linux when loaded, gives the UI.
Cheers'

Android can boot on Opal
I have some good news, Android can boot on the Opal. This is just a proof of concept as it's missing tons of drivers and is completely useless.
Touchscreen and all keys except for the volume control (and obviously the reset button) are not working. So you basically can't do anything when you run it.
What I tried is the same as what's written in this thread about running Android on Gene. They're using the build made for the Herald/Wing (just as I was proposing in my last post) with customized initramfs and kernel.
You'll find all the necessary details in that thread. However, there's a newer build than the one mentioned there it's wing-linux-0.4pre2.cab. And the suitable kernel for that build is supposed to be the pre2 posted in this post but it didn't work on my Opal so I tried the older Gene kernel and it worked. The main difference between the two is bluetooth support, and that's obviously is of no use for us.
This doesn't effect the Windows rom, nor does it requires any special partitioning. Still it's best to have everything backed up before launching it, just in case.
This is the official site for the wing/herald build:
http://wing-linux.sf.net/
This thread on their forums about the Gene port will probably be of use to us:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/wing-linux/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4
I'm reading about the next steps but as I said before, I don't have any previous experience or knowledge about this type of things. If someone can give me hand, I would be more than grateful. At any rate, once I have better understanding of the concept I'll contact the people behind the Wing and the Gene ports.
P.S: If you do try to run this, keep in mind that this will take lots of time, specially for the first launch. And when you get an error saying something like "android sh: can't access tty" just ignore it and keep waiting. After a while you'll have a flashing "android" on the screen, and after some more waiting you'll reach the main screen.
Is this just THE BEGINNING
Sooper Stuff..!! So is this just THE BEGINNING??
How do we port the drivers and other required information in the build?

A Lil' help
I'm going through the Gene port thread here and on the Wing-linux sourceforge forums but I'm still a bit overwhelmed.
I would appreciate any help as I'm completely new to porting. I have some programming and linux knowledge but never attempted this type of things.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So am I.
Hmmm...
Right. Lets do it the way I did it.
1. Get the touchscreen working. Through HaRET, you must have got the GPIO interrupt whenever you pressed the touchscreen. You must have got two numbers corresponding to each press - a smaller number and a bigger number. The smaller number is the GPIO, and the larger number is, well, lets say a special GPIO value for the same pin.
Now checkout the Gene branch through git.
Goto /wing-linux/kernel/arch/arm/mach-omap1/board-htcherald.c
Scroll down to a block of code where you'll see the touchscreen code. Enter the smaller number in the .dav_gpio statement, and the IRQ number in the OMAP_GPIO_IRQ() statement below.
2. Follow the Kernel build instructions on the development section of the wing-linux wiki (the two make commands)
Copy the zImage into the linux folder on your SD card
Boot into wing-linux. The touchscreen should start working.
3. Now, hopefully, after the touchscreen's working, You would essentially just require two more buttons - the home button and the back button for minimum functionality. Everything else can be worked on by the touchscreen.
Then follow the instructions on the wing-linux forum (Page 2) to get the KEY(row,col) values of the keys on your handset. Hopefully you should get atleast a couple. Note down the corresponding keys and their KEY(r,c) values output.
4. Fire up board-htcherald.c again and goto the place where you have the KEY(r,c,KEY_blah) thing and replace the codes as per your obtained KEY(r,c,KEY_blah) values (The Home button is the one commented as Left Button)
5. That's all I can help you with as of now. I'm also figuring out a stable way of getting the DPad and the center select key to work, but It'll take some time.
Thanks kshaurya!
(This guy right here is the one who fixed the kernel for Gene, I asked him for some pointers).
I don't want to take my device apart just yet (I usually do my best not take to dismantle anything that I haven't owned for at least 3 months unless absolutely necessary) and I couldn't find a place that states what touchscreen it uses. I'm just hoping that it's the same a tsc2046 as well. [Is there anyone without a warranty and/or willing to check for us?]
I'm gonna double check the values I got from the touchscreen as for some reason I seem to have to IRQ values, probably forgot to get rid of some spamming irq. And, at the same time, I'm currently setting up a VM as a building environment, my main boot is Intrepid 64 and there's no 'psyco' package for 64 machines.
If anyone else have some experience and wants to try this, refer to: http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/HaRET_20Documentation (using haret to get the GPIO and IRQ values needed).
And to:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki/Development (acquiring the source code from Wing Linux and how to build it).
And a quick question for anyone that tried booting Android on the Opal, what screen did you get when Android finally finished booting?

Oh no. dont tell me that you are building the entire thing. all you need to do is build the KERNEL! Please! Don't go into building the whole thing from scratch. Use the make ARCH ARM commands given on that page.

I'm not gonna build the complete thing. Seems like I got too exited and failed to notice that building the kernel only requires a cross-compile toolchain, te rest is for compiling the whole thing.

Its pretty normal
Weird.
I've only changed the two touchscreen values and built the kenrel. It finished without any error but now it won't boot.
It gets stuck, even before the space allocation part, with this error: "sh: can't access tty; job control turned off". And then it displays a prompt.
I'll try modifying an older build, I'm pulling them from the repos at the moment.
After all, the pre2 kernel from Gene didn't boot on my device (although it got stuck later on).
Try doing a clean install - Remove the linux folder and try again.
Also, make sure that you're not forgetting to checkout the Gene branch.
Code:
git checkout Gene
Is your default.txt modified? And have you downloaded the modified initramfs.cpio?
check in the Gene forums for that.
Already tried the clean install, no dice. The default.txt is untouched and I'm using the modified intramfs. What happened this time is different from what happens using the original one, it's not asking me to specify the partition size but instead it's waiting for a command. I could probably ssh via usb but I have no clue how that might help.
And I've already checked out the Gene branch from the beginning.
I've tried compiling the kernel for pre1 (after changing the screen values) from SVN and it did boot (both using the cabs for pre1 and pre2) but no touch screen yet. All in all, I'm guessing that there's too much hardware difference here.
And the button for lowering volumes didn't work either, it seems like whatever you changed for getting it to work on Gene is the same as what we need here, but I'll think about that later.
I only have two ideas left:
- Trying to go back to a more stable build (with lesser features and lesser possibilities for errors). Maybe 0.3.
- Trying to create some kind of hybrid kernel using this alongside the HTC Vogue build as it probably has closer hardware to the Opal (obviously, I'm talking about everything beside the MSM7500 400MHz processor that it has). I'm hoping it won't get to this cause I'm definitely under qualified for that at the time being.
What happened this time is different from what happens using the original one, it's not asking me to specify the partition size but instead it's waiting for a command.

A friend borrowed my digital camera, I tried my laptop's webcam but the text it too blurry. Couldn't fix it using gimp either. So here's exactly what's showing on the screen:
Code:

modprbe: could not parse modules.dep
initramfs: Creating device nodes:

mount: Mounting /dev/ on /mnt failed: Invalid argument

sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

And after the prompt, on the same line, there's a flashing '_' waiting for input.
Using the original zImage (from the pre2 cab) it's right around here that the screen clears and the Wing Linux installation script kicks in.

[REQUEST] English Recovery Parition

I have an English Vista recovery on my Shift, but I don't know how I could copy it off, you could give me some information about it, I will take a look at it anyways tomorrow or so. If you could profide usefull information I could do it faster.
And.. Why do you want to recover the whole windows? I have done it once and I removed it directly and installed windows 7 on it. Its way faster, Everything works. And just a bit snappier and populair then Vista(alot of people were amazed by my shift, but when I said Vista was on, they were not amused xD).

I found out how I can dump the recovery, but there is not really a possibility for me to store the whole recovery, maybe I could split it and upload it to mediafire.
I have tried to follow the instructions, which was actually very simple, but when I enter the cmd line, press enter it doesn't return a reply or something with writing or anything, it just enters and the white dot stays there, I don't know if this is normal =/
This Part
This part? "dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/disk/shift-vista-recovery.bin bs=16384 skip=2244480" if so leave it for about 45 minutes if it hasn't finished by then and returned to prompt then somethings wrong :/ but check if the file is there.
Oh and make sure you're copying the correct parition.

metro themes

Hi all!
I was just wanting to see what other people were using as their metro wallpaper. I was getting bored of the old ones I made and I was still using the consumer preview imageres file so I just started over for the release preview.
Here is my current one (ignore the break in the middle, its just more of the same starfield). Looking forward to seeing what other people are using so that I can steal it
How do you crate that ... it's beautiful
You change the imageres.dll file.
This isn't the exact walkthrough that I used, but it is similar enough (it is in italian so you may need to translate.
http://windows8italia.forumfree.it/?t=60566861
Then it is just a matter of finding an image you like and splitting it in half in a logical way.
I see that someone is following my guides.
This is my first post here and I did not imagine finding this my guide
This guide I made on the Consumer Preview, however, also works on Relase Preview.
If there are errors or incomprehensions let me know

There are many things to do to improve Windows 8 more ...
This, however, was one of my first guides, and, I repeat, I had written when there was still the CP.
If there are "Resource Editor" that double as command, I could make a more automated little program for customizing the start-screen, although it is very difficult ...
It looks very nice.
Any way to do this without a dual-boot setup? I tried safe mode and the dll is still in use.

Unfortunately I think it's difficult to do this with Windows only 8 to edit.
You need at least another Operating System that is able to read NTFS partitions, or you must use the CD of Windows Vista / 7
I could think of to "take ownership" and the popular program "unlocker" but I think they can do little on 'OS to change.
Since we all have, I believe, the DVD of Windows 8 (CP or RP), I could find a way to use that. I have to do some small tests first.
Unfortunately the installation DVD of Windows 8 is different from that of Vista / 7 and has been removed according to navigate through files, I'll try and see
[edit]
Ok, I found a way to use the DVD of Windows 8.
In a little 'I'll do a article on my site of the guide and get better compared to the one linked, making it easier and more complete and adapting to the new method and the RP
Stay tuned
p.s. If there are criticisms and suggestions, tell me, so I can make a better guide for you

I do it all within windows 8. I don't think it is too difficult.
Here is what I do:
1. Swipe to the charm and go to settings -> change pc settings -> general -> advance start-up options.
2. Once you restart you'll see three metro-esq icons (continue, troubleshoot, turn off PC). Select troubleshoot -> advanced options -> start-up settings.
3. The computer will restart again and you'll get your various start-up options. Select #6. Safe mode with comand prompt.
4. At the cmd prompt take ownership of imageres.dll (takeown /f C:\windows\system32\imagres.dll
5. Restart and go into the system 32 folder on the PC and copy find the imageres.dll file.
6. Right click and change to the security tab and check the box for full control.
7. Copy the file to the desktop or where ever you want to work on it.
8. Change the file with resource hacker as described above to insert your images.
9. Go back to the advance reset options and reset back into safe mode with the cmd prompt. Copy the file from your desktop (or where ever) back to the system 32 folder. (copy c:\users\[user name]\desktop\imageres.dll c:\windows\system32)
You should get confirmation asking to overwrite the file and if the permissions were set correctly you'll get confirmation that the file was copied. When you reset the computer you'll see the new theme in the settings menu.
Good luck!

I did not think that the "take ownership" really worked

but i found new way to install Windows 10 fo Phone for any non-supported phone (for all Lumia’s with SDCard enable).
Ok, let’s do it!
Please: DO WITH YOUR OWN RISK!!!
***Requirement***
– Windows Phone 8.1 (Denim or 8.10.14219.xxx is recomended)
– You must have preview for developers installed before to continue with these steps. (Download Preview for Developer from store)
– Have more 300MB free space of Sys Space
If you not have enought space, Flash your phone with Nokia Care Suite of Lumia Software Recovery Tools (you can check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-phone-8/general/how-to-flash-nokia-care-suite-5-t3044200 )
– Internet connection and WiFi
// Hack Your Phone!
Download Hack Tools.zip here
www.4shared.com/zip/9WPofdrGba/Hack_Tools__WP81_.html or see attachments
1. Deploy Custom_WPSystem.xap tool
2. In Hack Tool.zip, the Custom_PfD.xap file, save/place it in sd card.(just place, don’t deploy it!)
3.Now open Custom_WPSystem.xap tool. At startup you can see “SD Card permissions” as red color. Now click that , browse and select SDcard (just SDCard!) to apply permissions.
4.Now you can see “SD Card Permissions” as green color.
5.After changing SD Card permissions click on browse xap button.
6.Browse and select Custom_pfd.xap from SD card and click Apply XAP Button.
7.After successfully applying custom_pfd tool to preview for developers goto Preview for Developers apps.
8.Now your phone is hacked and you can edit registry of your WP8.1.
// Change the registry key
9.Browse to HKLM\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargettingInfo | you will see green bar as “You can edit here!”
10.Change these values of some this key.
– Change PhoneFirmwareRevision from default to ->>02055.00000.14511.22002 and click the write button.
– Change PhoneManufacturerModelName from default to ->> RM-984_1006 and click the write button.
– Change PhoneOperatorName from default to ->> 00-IN and click the write button.
Thanks for djamol about the WP8.1 Hacking
// Here is the trick!
11. Then, go to windows insider app and Tap “Get preview build”
if you can’t see any build available for your phone, try to “open windows insider then select sign in with different account > Sign in with Microsoft Account. After that login back with same windows insider account” and then choose the build what you want, you can select “Insider Fast” or “Insider Slow” about what you want to try.
12. Download the update using WiFi!

Hi,
Please, will stop posting, I do not know how many times, the *same tutorial*.
Especially that your tutorial contains errors (such as 00-IN is wrong => 000-IN)

I don't know how it will be worked or not, but.. if you want to try.. just do it and DYOR!
Worked with tinkering. MobileOperatorName or PhoneOperatorName : 000-IN ----->is the new registry edit.
Insider app must be installed on phone,
preview for developers app must be installed to SD CARD
Update worked on HTC8s (RIO) currently downloading to device as we speak...
Will let you know how it goes...

lumia 810 here, everything went well until the phone restarted prior to install. After about 30min of spinning wheels, it returned the 80188308 error.
it was 8.1 preview for developers in factory reset only, will try from factory firm wp8.
Useless to try. Now, when I open windows insider and log in my ms account, the app crashes and exit.
I need this.
It's usefull. I need this. Thank you!

it's over 4gb.
At first I was able to log in the insider then get the update, though, after downloading and half an hour of spinning wheels, I was getting an 08xxxx error whitch was common on early updates of wp8.1 due to lack of space. So I cleaned up the phone to factory specs. Now, I'm not able to log in the innsider app, as when I input username and password, the app craches. Even if there's no tweak at all.

Sys space not same with phone memory (internal). Again, it will be not affected by factory reset. You must re-flash your device with Nokia Care Suite (first point in the Top thread).
The Windows Insider force close because the update faild and no another way to fixing it without Flash your device using Nokia Care Suite
Don´t work
It don´t work with my Lumia 625. It come the Error
" the operation didn´t complete successfully...
Maybe the app can´t get permissions or
there´s some problems during extracting
files.
Try to:
>"SD Card permissions" button is GREEN
>Apps installed on the SD cards are
CLOSED
>This app is installed on the INTERNAL
MEMORY "."
When I click OK it come the second error:
"Could not find a part of the path 'D:

That generally means there was an error while it was updating to Windows 10. I would recommend updating your BIOS (which worked for my computer) and/or update important drivers. Unfortuneately, there is no one size fits all answer to this problem (to my knowledge).

Ok thanks, but, how do i update my bios or even my driver if my tablet is like rebooting every 4 seconds?
Do i need to do a keyboard combinasion at the start screen with the loading circle?

Ah, I missed it was in a loop. I hate to break it to you, but if it is stuck at the loading circle, it could be a very low level problem. Do you have recovery media?

No i don't,
I got the win 10 files on my flash drive, can't i see if there a log or something that say what is the error who caused this?

Essentially, your computer goes through a few steps when it is starting up. First, it loads the BIOS, which is stored on a chip on your motherboard. Then it loads an OS loader. Then it loads Windows. You can see here for more on the process (if you want an indepth look). When it is loading Windows it goes through a few steps, as mentioned in that post. Normally, when there is a problem with booting, you can try to go into Safe Mode by holding the F8 key. You should give this a try. If that doesn't work, you have bigger problems. At that point it is very likely that Windows is broken such that the built-in tools are not able to , and you will have to recover or re-install. You will then probably want to create recovery media.
EDIT: As to a log, I do not think you would be able to find one. I don't know of any error checking at that level, since it hasn't loaded much of the operating system. Of course I could be wrong.

I don't have any data on this tablet, so i might just do an re-install, do i just need to put windows on a usb stick or do i need to do something else?
EDIT: I just looked at the files on the sd card, there is files with text in them:
"rollbackinfo" in folder "Rollback":

CurrentPhase=SafeOS,Start
CurrentOperation=32,end
OperationResult=2147943792

[BootManager]

Info.Rec=0,10658775040,4859101184

And another named "location" on folder "WIMBoot.backup":
[WinRE Location]
Partition offset=10658775040
Relative path=\Recovery\WindowsRE
On the second one can't i just put another location and install a full brand new windows on it?
i guess you have access to another PC, if so use the media creation tool (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) to create a bootable USB stick and try reinstalling win 10

It won't even notice the usb stick, it only want the sd card, because when i remove it, it says to me to put it back in and press ok on a dialog window
Did you ever get this figured out? I'm dealing with the exact same issue here.

Update:
They sent me back a replacement tablet with 8.1 on it and forgot to send back my 32GB SD card. Just a tad miffed. I know I'll get it back, but am extremely concerned about allowing the new one to try and update to 10.
_____
Gave up and got an RMA to send it in for repair. Should get it back with Windows 10 loaded on it. FYI - the standard warranty is only 90-days, and I'm within that timeframe, so it's covered. Hope yours is as well, but not sure how they're handling this for out-of-coverage units.
I also same problem. Please help me to get my table PC again.
