Can't wait. Too see what u guys do. With this

So awesome to see Nvidia putting forth this sort of support. I'm glad I have a Tegra 2 and look forward to getting a Tegra 3 tablet next!

they finally have it! Woo hoo!

This is the kind of thing that I expect out of nVidia. I see good things on the horizon.

Droid has been rooted!

I know. This is the hero forum. But if anyone has a droid or knows someone with one maybe we can get a dump?
Forgot to, post the link

awesome! i'd expect you goons to have vanilla 2.0 ready for the mass sprint crowd by tomorrow right? lol isn't a dump all we'd need? pardon for my ignorance but what changes would be made to be compatible to the cdma hero?
Excellent! Now we just need a full rom dump (not just the /system folder which is all that's available right now).

I could use those apk's to build a "fuller" AOSP... that is assuming data can be made to work.
Thats what I'm hoping for. So please everyone who has access to a droif, root it and get a dump for us. Please
I was excited for droid users to find out it had been rooted. Now I am really excited because I didn't even think of the benefits it would bring to us!

Sweet. Post back here if they provide it please. I can only watch so many forums. heh.
So let me get this straight, a full dump from the Droid will help us get 2.0? If so AWESOME! I have a friend who has one, I'm sure he'll be rooting tonight I can get a dump tomorrow if you don't get one sooner.

It's more of a theory than anything. But if we can get their rom booting on our phone then we have a much better chance of getting things working rather than the gsm version we've been hacking up to try and work.
If anyone has access to a rooted droid then let me know. Although it will be much better once they have access to nandroid because pulling these files while the phone is booted up doesn't always work.

I don't think that's true.. our kernel/drivers are way different than theirs.. we will be about the exact same point that we are now, and there are full rips out of the droid now on alldroid.org

I agree but it's a lot easier to make a trackball work, to make leds work, and to make wifi work rather than trying to make it work on a radio that it wasn't designed for.
The image that the guy posted on alldroid is corrupted. It won't unyaffs. And based on the file size I would say it's just a system dump anyways.
Thanks to whitewidow I was able to get my hands on the boot.img by copying it off of /dev/mtd. The build went smoothly however it reboots instantly after the HTC logo. It is never recognized by the debugger. So this is either caused by corruption from how we obtained the boot.img, or the architecture / processor are just too different to work on ours at all. I am not the type that can build kernels from scratch though so maybe someone out there better than me will get it soon.

I'm pretty sure stuff compiled for the OMAP arch. Droid is not going to work in our Qualcomm arch. Heroes. I tried using "chat-ril" executable from Droid on my Hero and that doesn't work at all. OMAP and MSM have their own kernel trees as well, so their kernel probably won't boot on the Hero.
It's OMAP alright.
You wont get any of the normal binaries to run.
You can however grab some apks from it.
There is a dump out already btw, has been for almost a month now.
There has been a system dump yes but we are talking about a full dump including the boot.img file.
Boot image contains nothing useful for our purposes.
If you absolutely have to have the boot image someone posted it over on alldroid.org.
is it possible to get the new lockscreen from newly updated droid as verizon has spreaded 2.01 update for droid? cheers

Nexus One Dump?
I'm a little surprised this isn't up here yet. There is a dump floating around rumored to be Nexus One. You can find it at AndroidSPIN.com.
Has anyone poked around at all?
It's right where it should be in the Development and Hacking > Android software development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190
I've had a quick look through this and found some interesting files.
Most notably, something called 'GenieWidget.apk'.
When are non blurry camera's going to hit the market? Nice dump though hopefully this will get ported to the Behold II....*cough*
like @wpbcubsfan said there is already a topic about that in the right section : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=600190

They need to be resized and odexed or whatever so it can run on your G1/mytouch or whichever you have. Theres this script in the G1 section that does deodexes or something.
Ace is right. The sizes are to big for dreams and magics. is there even a way to resize the files? also, custom roms are going to become harder now that there are different sizes for phones, but im guessing cyanogen is going to make roms for the neXus
aw, i was kinda hoping that this would be in a .img format so we can load it up and play with it in the emulator
SDK Emulator
Is there anyway I can take this dump and use it in the SDK emulator?
to devs: FIRST ONE TO PORT ISNT A ROTTEN EGG!
Yes, this is the Nexus One.
The boot animation works without modification on the Droid.
Could anyone provide boot.img also
Our guys have been trying to push some of the apk's but not had any luck so far. Has anybody got any apk's from this onto any other build yet?
I tried with my phone and the emulator, but I am a newb. Most of the new apks require Android 2.1 by the way.
if you tried the same method of installing the new maps fex week ago? they modify a file to let G1 thought it was on 2.0 kernel or 1.6 don't remember (system or settings files don't remember) after that the apk works on G1 and we can find it via the market. ask MLIGN he made the change.

Ubuntu on Gtablet

http://androidclone.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=18
I am attempting to try this on the Gtablet, im having issues and was hoping more people could mess around with it.
Isn't this more of a VM-type setup? I wonder if things like your /sdcard are even accessible this way, and audio, etc.
Still.....downloading it, anyway. 1 hour to go. :O
dont know if its any faster but I DL it from Demonoid, thats where i saw it then it had a link to that site for help installing
See the related thread

I'd love to see if the ubuntu port for the Toshiba AC100 (see post #9) would be made to work for the g-tablet -- probably after viewsonic releases the kernel?

It's using vnc slit will be slow.
I just hope it support portable harddisk for me transferring the files from CF card reader to harddisk
Ubuntu on the gtab will be possible once we have the kernel source as the binary kernel we currently have is, ah, not set up very well to run Ubuntu. Anyway, I've already messed with a similar type of Ubuntu root on my Evo. Its not hard....
Additional information that we may need to look at for getting a regular kernel to work...

Honeycomb on Archos gen8 [development thread] [early stage]

EDIT: This tutorial is outdated. We have a massive problem with the touchscreen
Hi to all!
I am the owner of an Archos 101 and I thought, why not port Honeycomb?
So I've used the SDK images that Google published and I've booted Honeycomb on the Archos 101. But anything works
Some screens http://twitter.com/licuende/statuses/36070541160878081
As I said, anything works. The system blocks and you can't make anything. The biggest problem is that ADB isn't working neither, so I can't debug the problems. I have tried a lot of things in the init.rc without success.
So I claim your help, Android veterans!
Here the steps for having Honeycomb on the Archos 101 (would be the same for other gen8 devices):
Install UrukDroid 0.6
Download http://megaupload.com/?d=UBC0FFZ1 and place it on /tmp
Booting into stock Android, mount SD and run these commands (replace /dev/sdc2 and /feb/sdc3 with the second and third partition of your SD card):
# cd /tmp
# mkdir sdcard
# mount /dev/sdc2 sdcard
# mkdir honeycomb
# cd honeycomb
# unzip ../honeycomb.zip
# cp -rf sdkramdisk/* ../sdcard
# cp -rf sdksystem/* ../sdcard/system
# umount ../sdcard
# cd ..
# mount /dec/sdc3 sdcard
# rm -rf sdcard/*/*
# umount sdcard
Reboot and boot the Developer Edition
Wait some time and... you'll get the unlock screen of Honeycomb!
I am a novice in Android ROMs so help is welcomed.
Thanks to deeper-blue (XDA) and @dm8tbr (OpenAOS) for helping me and $auron for UrukDroid
EDIT: Google will not release Honeycomb source code until Ice Cream release at the end of the year. That isn't good :-(
Well, even though I have absolutely 0 (i.e. none) dev skills, I thank you for getting the ball started on this much needed port.
Maybe this should be put in the Dev section though. You might get more responses from people who know what they're talking about instead of lookers-on like me.
Yeah it's true but I cannot write in the development forum due to permissions problem (I have less than 10 posts or something similar ). If an admin can move it..
Are you running stock kernel with it or one or custom? I watched some of the nook videos and it looks like they were just using some custom kernels but nothing specific.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Can you post a picture of the device information screen showing Honeycomb? I don't mean to be a skeptic, but you can download a Honeycomb lock screen for Froyo and below Android.
I am running the stock UrukDroid kernel.
I cannot shown more screens because the system crashes and I think the touchscreen is not working. But you can test it, simply see the instructions and you'll get a beautiful locked Honeycomb Only works the lockscreen clock and the shutdown dialog that don't require touchscreen.
If we get ADB working all the porting will be easier.
Respect!
It is so good to see that developers are working on it
Good luck porting.
I wish you the best. If I knew what I was doing I would help, but I’m fairly inept at the whole ROM thing. I can troubleshoot and beta test, but that is about it.
After a lot of time talking with Archos gurus at the OpenAOS IRC channel I think the problem is in the init binary. We haven't the Honeycomb source code so we'll have to mix the Honeycomb init binary with the UrukDroid binary. Any help is appreciated
Great work! its good news that someone is trying to port this to our devices and as someone stated earlier it will probably need a custom kernel to be able to run. would it be possible to download the nooks working kernel and patch it by applying archos's drivers for say filesystem, battery, touchscreen etc
Congratulation for your work, I`m very interested in the development of the Uruk-Droid but with Honeycomb it would be much better !
I wish I knew more to help guys. I haven't even tried uruk yet cause I didn't see an advantage unless we could flash gb or honeycomb. Now I see I should have so i could be helpful. I guess I'm more of a follower than a leader when it comes to this stuff. Love it all though and appreciate the people that can create!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Oh my god thank you for start this absolutly perfect project!!
But i haven't any help for you,sorry..
but why you don't ask $auron, if he would work with you together?
An Urukdroid release with 3.0 ? That would be simply amazing!
Hope,Hope,Hope
Sorry for my bad english, i'm from germany
dont we need the source code of honeycomb before we can even hope for a port to the archos

that's what I thought. it will be a lot easier (despite being hard anyway) to port it when you have the sources.
Yes much easier with source code however I was running gingerbread on my dinc before it was ever released. So it can definitely be done.

Keep up the good work. Would be much appreciated!
New SDK is finalized and ready for download: http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-3.0.html
But when will the sources be released? Git repository has only up to 2.3.x yet.
The source normaly comes after the first device gets it.
So hope that Moto holds there words and the xoom gets out soon.
Good news but my question is: how to do a porting from SDK? I wont try honeycomb on my tablet...

[DEV] CM7 (CyanogenMOD 7, Gingerbread) on Captivate, for Developers only

For developers only!! We are not supporting users yet
The instructions to build Gingerbread are on http://cmsgs.com
If you intend to develop for Captivate, you are welcome to use the instructions to build from source and test/debug/fix. This is not for the average user right now and we ask that you do not post binaries for users because things are unstable and we'd really rather not be dealing with users who've managed to screw up their phones.
There are two steps initially - first is to flash and convert filesystems, update recovery, kernel and CM7, but after that you can just install the CM7 zip if you have done another rebuild as you do development.
There is no easy way of going back to froyo - you would have to flash to stock via Odin one-click and let it blow away the filesystem etc. This is why it is for developers only - it is very alpha and you will find yourself going back and forth a lot.
Warning - this will eat your kitties and possibly your doggies and goldfish too!
-Atin
I dont mean to ruin the thead but, just want to say thanks to all devs working on cm7! And look foward to running cyanogen again after using on my htc magic a couple years ago!
Building right now...I am the excite.
good stuff.
can't wait to see the first gingerbread rom on captivate.

Since all the code is on github, both for voodoo sound and for CM7, you just need kernel/android smarts to pull in the changes. Clone the repos, take what you need . . . sorry I can't help more, I haven't looked at voodoo sound but there are others who have that could help I'm sure.
