hello ... i'm a kernel rookie
besides the http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=XanaduxDeveloperHome link for the developers on the xda-developers wiki, is there any other link pointing to more specific kernel HTC Oxygen info ?
THANKS !!!
PS: i mean a detailed description on every aspect regarding how the kernel get's loaded on the smartphone , how it interacts with every little piece of hardware on it ,etc...
Read the platform builder help files; I've been enjoying a good read in court for the last month

sorry if i'm superficial ... where are thoose help files ? on the [URL="http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Xanadux[/URL] wiki there are no "Oxygen HTC S310 / Dopod 310 / orange spv C100" links towards some other file ...
Are you talking about the ARM processor kernel docs out there ?? like source/linux-2.6.x.x/Documentation or "understanding the linux kernel" , "kernel development" 'n stuff ???
thanks
maybe i joined the wrong forum or what ???
i'm talking about porting the linux op
(i.e. XANADUx distro) on the HTC devices ...
Hi byteflowsoft,
Hare you refering to nk.exe (wince kernel) or porting Linux kernel to htc smartphones? I think VJ pointed you to platform builder because he thougt you where talking about wince kernel, if you're talking about linux kernel then this might be closer to what you're looking for:

I recommend you going into #htc-linux on freenode, there's where all the development is discussed and there are really interesting conversations daily.

No... you joined the right one
thanks a lot ...
is there a linux bootloader for the HTC Oxygen ? or for a starter like me it's ok to read the bootloader code for HTC Tornado due to the fact HTC tornado is quite similar to oxygen ?! ... i don't quite find specific hardware details about HTC tornado for example , not to talk about Oxygen details which are totally missing ... it's quite hard to go through the bootloader code without being superficial in the begining of the journey ... there is no detailed HTC smartphone architecture description . how did you start up ?
There is nothing Oxygen-specific yet, and as it is a quite new device the hardware is quite unknown until someone disassembles it. The Tornado Linux port should be quite similar to what has to be done for Oxygen... I'm sorry I can't help much with other specific questions as I am not a kernel hacker, go into IRC (#htc-linux) and ask there, cr2 is "the man" you're looking for, he's really good and has done almost all the kernel work for HTC universal, there are other persons that also help a lot in the linux development on HTC devices: lkcl and rob_w did great job on the BlueAngel, now lkcl is working on the Sable. The handhelds.org wiki has a lot of info on different devices, and xda-developers wiki has a lot of info on ASIC3 chips, GPIOs, etc...
appreciate your info ... !

Dear all
i would like to known if a possible to install linux OSn on my device phone and if we can install linux OS on the device we can use it to cell phone send SMS MMS ...ect.
would you like please how i can do it and where i can to download it if possible with a faq .
thanks

Maybe, you 'll find answers here.
thanks you but i am not expert to changing os this topic i know it but i can't understant what i should to do the first
thnaks a lot but i think i will keep my os windows on my device
best regard
well you know I think, that linux os on the PDA is only for enthusiasts and people, who know how to use it, how to configure it, and what is an advantage of it. if you are standard user, and have no linux administrative skills, then I cannot recommend this for you. even though it is possible to run linux on some devices. it is nice POC (proof of concept), that it is possible to run linux on such devices, but it is not usable by standard users. yet. maybe after few years... maybe the Android project is the answer - here and here.

anybody has experience of running HaRET in WM6.5?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396782
because Acer provides the liquid source code, its hardware should be same as S200. it 's possible to change parts in android code, and make a new android kernel (zImage) for S200, then boot kernel by HaRET in S200.

we need cuisine to test if there is some people to create one rom with dual boot i'm the first tester...
I've been searching for this to. Unfortunately my only skill is flashing Rom's that other people post.
For this to work i read that you must create drivers for the device to run android.
These guys have support for allmost any htc wvga device:
http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/htc-hd-with-sense-android-2-1/
Unfortunately acer isn't HTC so there isn't much supoprt on this forum for the device. Maybe you can contact rayfitto(owned a acer device and now a android) and the guys over at the tread I just posted to learn what is necessary.
Good luck!

This is possible but someone would have to compile a working kernel with proper driver support, the s100 is similar to the s200 but they have hardware differences, the only hardware thats almost identical its there basic e.g qsd82xx.
Hello my friend,
I'm software developper and cooker on Windows Mobile.
I would like to begin my Android cooking and have reading many tips on XDA, thanks a lot for this.
Nevertheless, i have some little questions....
In order to cook rom for android, it's possible to edit the rom with a kitchen and build a final ZIP rom in order to update with recovery menu.
But, if i want to update the latest android build, what is the way ?
* Need i to download the android source code and buid it ?
* I'm so sorry for this noob question but it's very hard to find "simple" informations about the different way of cooking on android. It will be very nice if anyone could explain the different way of cooking and this amazing os
Thanks a lot my friends,
Regards,

(all above links are in this subforum)
The build of android you cook is determined by the device you own. That's where you need to start.
1. Choose device
2. Look for device on xda forums
3. Look around the device forum you just selected, paying extra attention to the "<device-name> Android Development" subforum
4. Learn
Cooking for android (correctly) isn't learned overnight.
Thanks a lot
Hi Bros
i found this thread on section Android Software and Hacking General
I think it can help to compile ICS or JB to our jetstream
check the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1906777
is that just suppose to be a visual aid for rom building? i can't say i fully understand how..
specifically for us, wouldn't it be eaiser to port from HTC vivid?
I also hope and wish that the developers would do a rom ICS for Jetstream, a device
*abandoned by HTC

thats not really any benefit. that's only a GUI for compiling. nothing different than a terminal other than its pretty looking.
thanks for your efforts , any one ve an idea from wjere to start to developing a 4.1 rom for the jetstream ?
