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 .

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).
tq for everyone who read this post. i m currently using windows rom in hd2, since the android boot is not stable. but now something call "nand" came out n thats much more stable.
so now, can anyone tell me what's android over windows? n windows over android? i need some user's opinion.. tq very much for anyone who share with me =)
sry for bad english
You can run Android from your SD card, without losing your current installation of Windows Mobile. This is stable.
You can flash an Android ROM so that it replaces Windows Mobile. This is stable.
Chose which suits you best and then visit either the HD2 Android Development forum, or HD2 NAND Android Development forum to find out how to do it, once you've decided which you'd prefer.
Hi guys i have been trying to know about android driver development.. i know driver development is not an easy job but i'd like to learn.. Is there any tutorials for that or any simple examples??
[Q] How to write drivers for Android
Ashok,
Writing android drivers is no different then writing drivers for linux. In fact many linux drivers would simply just work on the android.
Here is a little reading list for you if you want to find out more about linux driver development:

Hope this helps
thanks for the tutorials and the book suggestions I appreciate the help.
If you are familiar with Linux kernel and Linux based development then it will not that tough for you since Android uses modified version of Linux kernel. For tutorial source for Android kernel go to:

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hello, sorry for raising the dead, but this topic is rare.
I have a project where I basically need to write a mouse cursor driver. Would you have any specific information on how the mouse is actually drawn on the system level, as in between activities/programs/windows/etc. ? And would it be possible to include this as part of an app, so that it can be downloaded by an average user? (not as vital)

Hello Everybody,
Many of you must be familiar with Ubuntu Mobile, Ubuntu's latest project in the field of mobiles. Now the question is- Is Ubuntu supported on HTC HD2?
The Answer to the question is- Yes. As explained in the Linked video(See Below) by UBUNTU Co-founder, Ubuntu works on all the devices which can run Android. If you're not sure what I am saying, please see the video, seek it to 20:49 if you don't want to watch the whole video. It is based on Android Kernel only.
See the video here- http://youtu.be/cpWHJDLsqTU

I am here with a new challenge, and that is the Porting Of Ubuntu Mobile. I hope you all are ready for it! :good:
I will be waiting for a Native SD Release!
Many of you might be thinking what is this thing doing in Android Section, the answer to your question is as its kernel is same with that of Ubuntu, you guys have the best chances of porting Ubuntu Mobile into HD2.
Your help will be appreciated.

Even though it might use the android kernel it belongs in ubuntu section.
P.s. The android kernel and ubuntu kernel are built from the same source anyway
曾经尝试过Ubuntu核心，非常好，十分期待Ubuntu的SD ROM
Native SD 个人感觉好像是掩耳盗铃
Is there any developer working on ubunto mobile for hd2?

I'm not a coder and the last android ROM I cooked was some mod for my friends galaxs s4 I actually bought this tablet and am hopeing for either actual desktop Linux or touch Linux do any of you guys think we can get this to happen since android 4.4 is Linux based
