After reading this i thought it is possible to bring this to our omap 850 devices so i just want see ur views
you can use e17 booting angstrom + illume thanks to wing linux project
but there aren't angstrom image ready to load you must compile...
As gp.triple pointed out, it should be possible to do. As Wing Linux uses Angstrom+Android so Angstrom+E17 shouldn't be a problem.
And pitillo on #wing-linux mentioned a couple of days ago that he was trying to build it for elf (aka Touch, another Omap850 device). If he succeded in making one, it should run as is on our devices.
Personally, I prefer having a Kernel that supports all Opal features before worrying about builds and packages. And sadely, I'm not having lots of success there
Anyway, check the link in my sig if you want to know more about Wing Linux.

're right I also think that before we have a working kernel and then you can choose what you prefer
Linux is freedom

Hi all,
Just read an artice on the hack of Google's impressive Android mobile OS. Hackers have used files from the emulator and installed the OS on some Linux phones. I was just thinking that there was a post on this forum saying that Linux could be Installed on Magician. Also Android uses Linux's kernal. So why not give Android a try. Would be great to use the new Android on Magician.
Any clues on how to proceed with the Installation ?
Is it really? I listen about porting on only Linux-PDA but Magican isn't Linux-PDA.
Of course, Android can run on the Magician, BUT never forget that you need drivers for the device - even for Linux!
And that's the problem: if you don't have any information about the chipset etc you will need month or even years to develop them.
If you want to run Linux on the Magician, there is already a project which try to develop drivers for Linux. Last time I read from their progress Linux runs on the Magician with the possibility to use the phone (but no GPRS)...
Use the search if you are interested;-)

It is http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician , isn't it?
So If Linux can be installed, then Android can also be installed. Because it supports all Linux compatible devices according to the hack.
For the DRIVER part, pls check the official Android website-
http://code.google.com/android/
and let us know. Waiting for your reply...
Thanks!
Peoples - a hve WORKING linux on my HTC magician.
name is Angstorm with GUi OpenMoko.
Work - tochscreen,Sound,GSM,blootuth.
thet meens - drivers are exist and work
Can anybody say, where i can download Google's Androuid for ANY platform ?
I'm Find =) Android For Zaurus
it seems to me, For using rootfs on magician we mast change drivers in it
http://www.omegamoon.com/blog/static.php?page=ZaurusAndroid
As me say one man, it takes compiling magican's drivers using Google android SDK.
Some useful links

Sory for my English =)
does anyone know how to actually download the Android platform? regardless of phone model or drivers? or is it just included in the SDK and you gotta compile it yourself? If I can somehow get my hands on a copy of the image I'll probably end up spending the next 3 weeks trying to flash it natively into the ROM
The Android sources can found on this page: http://code.google.com/p/android/downloads/list
It is only kernel. Without drivers.
Found a new article for search on "Android on HTC", got this:
Android Kernel Found, Android on HTC Kaiser imminent
It says, that the kernal works only on MSM7200A chipset for now.
Take a look, link: http://fandroid.net/content/android-kernel-found-android-htc-kaiser-imminent
what i cannot understand is:
if there is an working linux kernel (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianXanadux) than android should be executable also!?
All necessary driviers shold be available.
So why should it be impossible to have a running android on a Magician?
cheers
aitsch
p.s.: the Magician is a very fast device. maybe android is running well on it.
UPDATE: Google has released a new version of Android, v0.9
Any updates on running Andriod on Magician ?
I could run Linux (Openmoko) successfully.
yea! Android 1.0 it very good
we need this
linux can run on a magician and u can use phone on it but no sms and it's full of bug's
Hi all,
I have tried to download the angstrom linux and follow the instruction from this site http://linuxtogo.org/~ph5/magician/....
but I always had kernel panic when start booting the linux, after then I found out the unzipping wasn't successful there is an error occurred during unzipping.
Does anyone ever encounter the error when unzipping? your help would be much appreciated. thank you

Hi everybody,
are there any news on running android on magican. Did anybody manage to get it running?
w00t!
I for one cannot wait to boot winCE on my Magician! Id love to put ANDROID on it! from what it looks like they are only 80% done!
I have opie II running on magician (http://linuxtogo.org/~htcpxa/htcmagician/)
and it runs perfectly (except a little bug eith the menu).
And here is a list what works in linux (http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/Magician)so android should work

Interesting, I'll take a look! What are the bugs you personally notice?
I am now working on porting linux to HTC Pharos. Gotten HaREt to boot it, working on the keymap. Will post the image here when it's "usable"
For questions go to the launchpad project's "Answers" page. For discussion, use this thread.
Links:
Progress (Handhelds.org Wiki)
Launchpad project
Git repository
very very cool ... but try to do one better... try to get the android working on our phone !! (the image has been released so it should be possible to compile it for the Pharos)
I'm going to make android work, but I won't make a ROM before next year because android doesn't have a soft keyboard (onscreen keyboard). They plan to develop it in the first quarter of next year though.
Android Roadmap
Still, a working android (but without keyboard) would be cool, so when the linux kernel is good to use, I will start on android.
please DO NOT make it a rom, if possible make it work with HARET because then we have a choice!! (far more flexable)
i see you're dependant on the drivers released by source.android. q1 09 will be great (hell its allmost 2009 anyway)
I'm developing on HaRET, will release that after some time. I will maybe release an android ROM when it's stable and usable. Btw, all releases (ie. files) will be in the first post. So no need to go through pages (if this discussion will be that popular) to look for files...
Also, I can make it work pretty well without the soft keyboard drivers, but not with android. So here's my plan:
1 Make the linux kernel work (keypad and touchscreen most important now...)
2 Release kernel + a distro like familiar
3 Make it work (loosely) on Android
just a supporting note
I will be happy to see your linux rom
Awesome! It will be very interesting to see the progress of this.
i tested linwizard , the touchscreen dont work .
do you found any driver?
what about android?
touchscreen work now.
files will be available soon.
Hey, why don't use kaiser,nike,vogue,polaris zImage and just change the mtype to have android on your Pharos?
Launch haret console and find the gpios button commande and maybe somebody can make a new zimage compatible with your device?
hi,
thank you for the idea.
i already started the project.
touchscreen work very well, and i'm now working on buttons and jog wheel.
pharos is omap850 and many difference/and similarity with list of model you listed.
lets hope it work now.
can you please give me any documentation.I'm very thankful.
Oh yeah i didn't mention it wasn't the same chipset so it isn't possible to merge source with our thread.
I don't know much things but i can try to help you.
Try to contact @ : dzo, dcordes or another member in the kaiser thread
Can you please post a POC zip. I want to test how android is reactive on Pharos.
Thanks.
please join this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494991
source will be uploaded on server as soon as possible.
for now you can play with proposed file.
you can join our project.
Hello.
I've been trying to boot android the opal by trying the vogue kernal (since it has the same specs as the opal) on the opal until i came across this. a fellow xda-dev member had some good news on android booting on the opal.
heres the original quote from him in the "LINUX BOOTS at OPAL! Thanks to linwizard project!" thread.
MusikMonk said:
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.

i've not tried it yet, but the touchscreen drivers and buttons are not working. if anyone could help build a android kernel for the opal, it would be extremly great!
This thread will be used for future android builds for the opal.
It is possible "Android" in this mobile ????
I would like install to
no, i don't think you can install, but you can boot it from haret. i'm not sure too how to boot it though, trying to find a way.
okay i tried reached till ANDROID boot screen struck waiting for fone to respond.. responded now struck on power off screen..
nothing happens powering offffff strucks.. any way it worked half way.. now i have hope one day will run android on opal
If the Opal is based on the Omap850 chipset, anyone care to try the Wing-linux project on their phones? It's Android ported (or in the process of being ported) to the Wing/Herald. The keys won't be mapped to your phones but I wonder if it will actually boot all the way to the Android desktop. (Btw, the first boot takes a long time to finish.)
would love to try android!!

I would appreciate any help because, at the moment, I seem to be the only Opal owner working on the port. And I lack the experience.
I was working on modifying the kernel so that the touchscreen would work but I ran into some problems and I've been too busy during the last week to do anything concerning this project.
i'll be happy if anyone could post links to videos showing android running on our HTC touch viva
I got Android CupCake installed and working on my HTC Opal a few weeks back using the WingLinux.
Keys are not mapped and Android is not fully functional but never the less, its android 1.6 on your viva...u can chk da pic off my facebook album, i dnt wanna upload'em again:

what is special in android which make it different from windows? How it connect to windows pc and linux?
hii there... does any one have been try to install android os on hermes?? i wanna to use that on my htc softbank x01ht..
Aaaaaaahh
Nearly no comment on this
Please use the pretty good search function of this forum!
In short:
Android on hermes is not possible without a fully working linux kernel.
No, there is no fully working linux kernel for hermes.
Yes, you will need some kind of linux to run Android.

scholbert
find people to work on the kernel and this could happen
seems linux kernel development is stuck
needs some genius o work it out
Hi. dzo's bootloader requires flashing kernel/initrd/cmdline each time to change settings in android, while recovery is not an issue with RUU and hardspl there may a better way. We also maybe able to support leaving Windows Mobile in NAND and booting from sd for those that want multiboot capability even with the small flash size of the vogue. There a few approaches here, one involves adding multiboot support to HardSPL directly, another to extend tinboot to support a second embedded (cooked) xip with a key press switching modes. The first thing I want to try however is clearing the screen and drawing a basic framebuffer message or menu. We might also switch to a more capable bootloader when support for the NAND and SD can be added. This is in vogue thread but most of the concepts should apply to all HTC MSM devices with Windows Mobile. If you need to reach me try tmzt in #htc-linux on freenode.
do you have anything put together to test out? i'm not very interested in dual booting but i am interested in any bootloader improvements.
I don't have a vogue so I can only build images for others to test, hence this thread.
I am interested in Multiboot images. I would prefer to have Galaxo 1.6.3 as my standard OS and an Android 2.1 OS (like GAOSP or mustymod) as a second on my Samsung Galaxy. It is possible to have a Bootscreen at startup?
A HowTo for programming / customization would be awesome.

You could try Andboot, which will load before Windows starts up and will let you choose between both OS. Good luck!
That´s my problem, Galaxy (i7500) don´t have Windows. Its an Android Handy. I don´t have any ideas for programming a Bootloader for Android...

So, basically you are asking if you can have a dual boot system on a native Android device? I don't believe that is possible yet.
Ok, I will search for some methods from Users in german language and then I will try it.
Thanks for your answers.
