hi Ankit...
check this link..its from kaiser rom development...thought it might help us...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470649
This Kaiser port don't work on Gene. They have a different hardware.
The first thing needed to run Android is a kernel that support our hardware.
A good place to start is here. They have a kernel (linwizard) that may boot on our device.
oh....very nice thought..U all r doing great job....
carry on...
@ ramersonw
is it like emulation or it will boot directly ???
r u interested in it so we can make it possible
It's a kind of emulation. The kernel will run on wimo using Haret. The linwizard project has a version of Haret that works in the Gene processor(TI OMAP850). It's like a vmware prog.
To run linux on our device we have to:
1st. we have to make the Haret work with the processor of the gene (stable)
2nd. make the Linux kernel works with the hardware of the gene (write drivers for touch screen, cellular radio , bluetooth radio, etc)
If we have it, we can run Android, Opie, GPE any flavor of linux for mobile.
I'm very interested in port linux (Android) to gene, but is not an easy task and will also consume very much time.

but i think if we use emulsion I think we cannot use or get full power of linux or android
but let's start with emulation then we think about boot diretly
so lets start with android I will start this project this week and post update
we can make it possible
anybody interested ¿???????

count me in...i am ready
hi ankit
when you say `count me in' what implications does it have...hehehe just in case...
im also VERY interested in a faster stabler gene...and i feel linux is the way to go...BUT ive recetly used windows 7 on a dual boot with my vista system and i tell you it is FAST...in fact not only faster than vista but even XP on a 512 mb ram system!!!
...also i must admit it is MUCH slicker and faster than the LinuxMint 6.0 based on ubuntu 8.10 which i had running on my system!
...what im trying to say here is that if MSoft does to WM& what they have done to Vista in Windows 7, i think we r better off using WM7 than linux...for all practical purposes!

Not necessarily. Linux is probably the most stable OS after SCO, if I am not wrong. And it is also the most light weight OS as well. I guess you can run Linux on a P II 450 MHz system with all the goodies with fair speed . So imagine what it can do to your Gene .
don't start linux vs windows war here

Ya, Uske liye thindigit forum hi kafi hai, kyun ankit?
Linux vs Windows
Ofcourse, I don't have any intention, otherwise why would own to WM Devices ?
One of them would have been Moto Ming . What I was saying is since a few you guys (the real developers) are thinking about porting Linux to Gene, there is no point arguing about sticking to WM for the heck of it, come on you people are developers, and once you get your hands on source code, may be you will make it even better than WM! Hope you are getting my point (I am not a developer though).
What's the difference in Android OS development and Android App development? I want to learn the OS so I don't screw up either of my devices, again. Not so interested in developing apps, yet.
Not really sure what exactly you are asking. Android OS is linux based and I do believe most apps are Java based.
I am new in XDA developer forum. I knew java and android at the immediate level. Now I'm interested in creating my own Android smartphone ROM. After searching in google, I see that there are a thing which is called "Default ROM" released by google. Base on this ROM, different companies created different ROM in their own style such as Sense, Motoblur, TouchWiz, etc.
So where could I download such a default ROM, and how could I begin with ROM developer. It is kind from my if anybody could give me a tutorial.
(Sorry if the question is exist in the forum, because I could not find it)
Thanks a lot.
Best regards,
me too, i have the same question, can someone help? thx
Your best bet is to have a look at compiling the aosp from source which you will need a Linux os for. The android sdk is a good place to start.

Also are there no different way but Linux OS?
I still have the Android SDK, but do not know how to begin to custom a ROM via code.

Yes to build android from Google's source you will have to have a Linux os. Either stand alone Linux or a version like ubuntu

In your experience, which linux os should i used. I m also a bit confuse because i did not have to much experience with linux...

Me too, trying to learn. Just installed dual boot Ubuntu 10.1 to my comp and trying to figure it out. Big change coming from win7. Ubuntu 11 I couldn't figure out
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
One place you can start by checking and has a lot of good info is http://freeyourandroid.com/
I learned how to port from them although I still need to ask questions but it can get you started.
If you just want to get Ubunto going in a virtual machine for now and have NO IDEA take a look at this: http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/26/ho...om-for-android-part-1-setting-up-the-kitchen/
Old release links but Ubunto will update itself
A bit about me:
Hey guys, I have a huge interest in hardware and software. I know about hardware and how it works at an intermediate level, but my software understanding is very basic. I'm going to teach myself how to develop apps on Android, and other OS's once I actually know what I'm doing. (Nexus 5, and Oneplus One owner)
Actual question:
I'm assuming that a Linux based operating system is the best way to go about doing this, correct me if I'm wrong. I currently run Windows 8.1, what Linux based OS do you guys think I should dual boot alongside it? Does it matter? A lot of people recommend Debian, but from what I read, Google actually does their 4.4 KitKat development on Ubuntu LTS 10, I believe.
Thanks.
I was wondering if someone could tell me what part of the android operating system deals with just the os part, (nothing else). And how would i go about making it into a rom?

The just OS part as you are referring to that deals with the OS UI and surface is written in Java (Along with some XML and other aspects) using the Android SDK. I am a little bit confused by your wording but what I'm guessing your asking (If this isn't what your asking please elaborate some more and I'll be happy to help you out) is how to compile Android from source. To compile Android form source I would recommend taking a look at the official Google build guide as well as this great guide on how to compile Lollipop from source. Let me know if you have any additional questions I'll be happy to clear them up for you!
