Hello guys!
I've seen that a lot of Android devices have their PSFreedom port. Acer Liquid has not. Unfortunately I don't have the capacities to do that, so I'm asking to someone to try to port PSFreedom to Acer Liquid. Someone tried, but compiler gave the same error of Dell Streak and no one is currently developing (as far as I know) it.
Please, don't discuss about legality because other devices already have PSFreedom and it does NOT contain any Sony code and Backup Manager Support. Who wants BM (once released PSFreedom for Liquid) can search and find how to do that. It's also OT.
someone experienced: at least try...no one will remember you as a pirate!

Hi I am working on a project based on linwizards kernel, basicly converting it completely to run on an excalibur. Right now all we have done is rebuilt the kernel with proper screen timings and demensions, as well as a semi working keymap.
So basicly we have a terminal, and x but we cant use x yet since linwizard was created with touchscreen in mind, and the excalibur has no touch screen.
So anyone with this kind of development experience (linux, some c, compiling, custom toolchains, etc.. might help to have an excalibur) Please respond here if interested, and thanks.

Dear all,
as I wrote on this other post (excuse me for crossposting - please mods to close the wrong-placed one):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=384850
there are two guys that recompiled Android for ARMv4 processor - like ARM920T, the trinity processor!!
Here you have the links:
http://benno.id.au/blog/
http://perpetual-notion.blogspot.com/2008/10/android-freerunnder-updates.html
They are working on the Freerunner and Neo1973 devices.. but the processor is the same..
Anyone out there wants Android on our beloved trinity?
At the moment I have no spare time (and skills) to take the challenge.. but I hope that someone will do.
I think that with the source code the CLZ and Thumb mode issues are completely addressed.
Anyone could confirm this to me?
Best regards,

Hi,
i'm also interested to see android on my htc hermes. i'm waiting benos new blog entries to see if he was able to run the code on "Neo1973".
What is the diference between htc hermes and htc dream (g1) regarding other chips beside the prcessor?
i don't think that drivers included in android can cover all chips in hermes. can someone maybe make an list of same and different devices(chips) in this 2 devices?
thanks
G phone?
So this is the same OS that the G phone is sporting yeah?
If The flashing process isn't harder than the current process then I'd be up for this. Also will it brick the phone?
Need some people to test.
Great Topic!

Since the openmoko is very like the p3600 I will give these patches a try. Let you know!
That would be awesome !
Please tel us your progression.
I'm waiting for a Android ROM for my Trinity ^_^
This is what we can try. The openmoke images are out. Since the openmoke is very like the p3600 we could give these images a try. The images are located over here.

We need haret for the images as well.

The thing we also need is to have a proper default.txt for haret. Who can help?
Hi piethein,
This will replace the rom we have installed in the trinity or is like an emulator running under wm ?
We dont loss any wm rom that we have installed ?
Dear all,
here you have some (bad) news:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting/browse_thread/thread/906dcae21176d4e9#
at the link above you will find a thread I started in adroid-porting developers group.
http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting/browse_thread/thread/0b3743f8151783f6#
at this link there are other infos, but let me report two msgs:
shaice:
Dear all,
sorry to bother you with (probably) silly questions but..
I own a HTC trinity that use the same ARM920T processor of Freerunner.
I saw benno's and christopher's posts on their blogs...
Is there any chance that your binaries will run on other ARM920T
phones?
Thank you in advance for any answer.
Best regards,

Christopher Friedt:
Hi Shaice,
In short, no (for now...)

sigh sob!
Now I'm searching for some fresh news.
Stay tuned!

uhmm reading somewhere in the group I found this post:

The shipping G1s have 192MB. Earlier development devices had 128MB,
and that wasn't quite enough to smoothly run the applications that
ship with the G1. Even if all the device's RAM could be allocated to
Android (no baseband, no framebuffer) 64MB would probably be very
tight, to the point where even foreground applications would risk
getting killed because of low memory conditions (the browser
especially comes to mind). In 32MB the system is likely to be
thrashing for memory even before it's done starting the system server
(if it can even start it at all).

Mmmmh no good news for us.. :-/

....but forget about running exactly these images on your trinity units.
It won't work
I don't want to digg your hope but there's a lot to do to make it real.
First:
You'll need a kernel that suits to trinity and offer some features the android OS needs.
Second:
You'll have to modify the image in jffs2 format to get loaded on trinity or build up a tricky environment to mount these image files after booting the kernel.
Have fun!

Android on Trinity wanted!!
now that the full Android code is out it's possible!!
we can have Android on Trinity!!
please help... I cannot stand anymore WM!!
IMHO there is no enough memory to run smoothly android on trinity...
but stay tuned..

Dear all,
there is no hope for trinity users like us to see android running on our wonderful device.
As stated here:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-internals/browse_thread/thread/788c201e75ca7351
Android don't run on the ARM920T used in Neo1973.
In the following site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#ARM_cores there is a table
where are described all the ARM cpu.
Android framework is compiled for the ARMv5 architecture version, so run on
the all the processors that belong to this architecture version and also in
some cpu of the new architecture (ARMv6/v7).
Other information can be found on this site

a new step per day, some time good new, other time bad news..... lets get hope that android will run on trinity...
I just got Zubuntu running on my universal!!! I'm so excited!!!!
It's kernel 2.6.32 with the android drivers enabled but i've only gotten zubuntu to start. None of the keys seem to work...or anything else for that matter. will do some more test and debugging.
Here's the link to the Zubuntu page
Here's a link to the rootfs
I got the kernel, default text, and haret attached below.
Congratulations!
Keep us informed if make any advance in getting it work!
awesome
Bravo very cool, good luck with solving the problems will watch this topic
Great news mate, I will test it by myself today
How can I install it?
The download link is crash don't work. Please upload again.
The link is working, I have no problems
I think. Thank you.
great!
touchscreen work?
is there any progress on this project?i think drivers from other linux kernel's could be imported.what works and what does not?
Any chance you could point me in the direction of the Git and defconfig that you used to build the 2.6.32 kernel?
keep it up !!
Any news so far??
Any news on this topic?
Making this work perfectly would be awsome, hence the large amount of RAM and CPU power!
Unfortunately im a linux user, not a developer.
I hope someone could get the touchscreen and keyboard drivers from other distro.-s, e.g Titchy linux, or Opie.
It has been already done for other HTC phones, and for Samsung Omnia, and there is a big bunch of programs already compiled for ARM versions of Ubuntu.
Getting and making the drivers work with this wont take more than days for developers, but without the suitable knowledge, it would take weeks for us to research everything about embedded linux's from zero.
I'm going to release a new 2.6.33 kernel, defconfig, and the source changes for everybody to play with later this evening (now posted below). It's faster and the power functions seem to work and you can see the touch screen enabled not functional in ubuntu tho.... .
KEYMAP
Posted corrected keymap above. All of the fn keys are as they are labeled on the universal except for & and the first and last rows of special keys.
Not kwl: Kernal Panic
how to fix? =]
Is anyone working on a ROM for these devices as android 1.5 is not the best that the hardware can handle.
Seem like Rockchip are no longer going to release 2.1
So far found the following info on this device.
Howto ??
Not sure if this is any use but may help some of the android Rom'ers. ?
Hello
I am currently trying to port Cyanogen mod on this unit.
At the moment not working touch screen. Events EV_ABS (which contain the coordinates) can not come to /dev/input/event2, come only event EV_KEY and EV_SYN.
Need help in this matter have knowledgeable people. Who can suggest some method of solving this problem - please, write in this thread.
Have a working build cyanogen mod (froyo 2.2.1) for apad! (touchscreen is working)
Since I can not insert a link ( ), then look for information on slatedroid.com.
Now, looking for Apps2SD script to work with, ?
Anyone, can share idea,
Thanks

Can you refer a link? Because its almost sure that what you say is not possible, the drivers needed for a linux kernel are not developped for acer s200 (from what I know)
Here is the link http://www.esphoneblog.com/2010/06/30/ubuntu-linux-ported-to-htc-hd2-version-0-1/ near the middle says linux is booting on qsd8250 based acer s200
