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

Hi all,

Thx to all for any help.
EDIT: I actually just realised that I posted in the wrong place, mod pls move and sorry bout that

I'm a beginner.

Hello All
I've been in a bit if a tiz lately, I am very interested in developing for Android as well as BlackBerry.. The problem is that for the Android SDK I want to use I NEED to use JDK 7uxx.. However I still am pulling in money with BlackBerry for OS 7 and Below and that REQUIRES JDK 6uxx
I'm wondering if it possible to install BOTH SDK versions on the same machine and assign the correct version to the correct SDKs????
I would love your feedback and any suggestions onto how to do this if this is possible at all..
Thanky so much in advance

Hello Forum !!
I am a complete newbie. I have a brand new Linux distrobution desktop and I am looking to do app development and testing for android.
I will describe my system now. I am using Ubuntu with Red Hat as a VM. On Red Hat, I have eclipse installed. I have all the Android ADT and SDK components installed as well. I have customized the various parts to ensure that I can communicate with the device I am using. The device I am using is plugged in via USB port. It is a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, running android.
So, how do I write and run a simple, "Hello World" style program now?

You have everything in the source: developers.android.com Enjoy
When you created a new project on it's default settings, the hello world program is already included.
