Since I run Linux systems at home I'm really interested in running it on my phones too. I kinda ordered my new phone since my TYTN is falling apart (does not synch thru USB anymore) so I can wait till late november for HTC to release their phone on Android.
So, do you think HTC will make an Android ROM for the Raphael? (or is there a big probability someone will cook it from another ROM)
I don't think they will do such a Android-ROM for Touch Pro as they will try to sell their new Android-Device. But since the Touch Pro has this Qualcomm-CPU, I hope Android will run on it - Again, made by some community-member, not HTC.
would somebody like to try booting linux on the raphael? I wonder if things will behave in the same way as on the diamond ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402002 )
in that thread, marbalon posted http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=104265&d=1218018832 a package with latest haret and a build for the halibut machine from the google git.
also you can replace the zImage in the diamond.zip with the zImage builds for vogue from dzo: for example http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/zImage
or try the kaiser kernel http://linuxtogo.org/~lgorris/kaiser-bootkit/zImage.bin
and report what happens. does haret get further than go go go? Which machine does it detect?
thanks
can a moderator move this to raphael rom development please?
I tried the bootkit for Diamond, the latest builds for the kaiser from igorris and also the latest build for vogue - but all hang up.
i will investigate a bit....
do they hang at 100% / Go Go Go? Do you see console output?

And they didnt got it working...
And the Pro got the same proccesor/chipset ast the Diamond..
we created a research page with links to the kernel relevant wiki pages:

Done... and good luck!
As i wrote last time, i didn´t get running the kernel for Kaiser (Latest Build) and Vogue (Latest Build).
Now it seems that the problem is or at least could be related to the storage card. It´s a common problem that sdhc-cards over 4gb won´t work as a android drive. so maybe anyone can try it with a card that fit the needs - i have only a 8gb model?
Good Luck and post every result!
I have tried vogue version on my raphael but it hangs on booting linux... 100% and i it hangs every time.
files are on phone not on sd card.

It is not a big surprise, because Raphael has a different CPU.

The SD controller on MSM7200 CPU is located in a different memory area
compared to the MSM7200A CPU.
Edited, I thought you meant a different processor than the G1.
Kinda stupid why people funny toil to try execute a linux on a wm6 device?decide whitch one uu want then buy... 4 my is awful idea have linux on my diamond pro no thx...
seeing forward to try android for this phone.
waiting...

We need the G1 kernel source, and modules (if there would be some closed-source drivers). I have documented many (most?) MSM gpios,
the DRAM config is known too. I'm researching the Hitachi LCD setup
because G1 has a different panel, so it will be necessary to modify
the init/suspend routines.

Well, we don't post here that virtually everything from micro$oft sux, don't we ?
I'm not a big google fan, but fighting the monoculture is always a good thing.

Totally agree.
wm is the best mobile os at the moment unfortunately (if android is not counted), nokia's symbian just plainly.. eh, stinks. and so on.
Android would be really nice, waiting for it to raphael, even as a flashable rom! That would be so awesome! (we dont need WM to flash, it works straight from the bootloader, so why not!)

You hit my point of view!
I just read in the XDA Portal that someone found a way to dual boot between two different Android Roms on one phone and ,well...i was wondering if this is possible with Windows. i have Miri N Dinik's Rom right now but say i wanted to try out Energy's Rom too...but keep my previous Rom. Is that doable or is there something special in Android phones that makes it possible?

Thread moved to Q&A
To answer your question no its not possible to dual boot between 2 WinMo Roms. Android runs of partitions so you can install an Android Rom on different partitions and then select which partition to boot from. WinMo doesnt work like that.
Mark.
oooohhh o.k. thanks ! i need to hurry up and take these IT classes to further my computer and systems knowledge. January can't come soon enough. iv'e learned so much from just this site alone though..i think i'll have a bit of a head start when i do start class.

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.
Have been wondering as I saw this thread:

So I would have thought there would be a way to take advantage of WP7 on TG01 to get android/ linux running. WP7 is like the gateway if you know what I mean

Yes, but like WM6.X, there is no driver for android Access our TG01.
isn't it easier with haret.exe on winmo 6.x or would it be easier to write everything new from scratch on WP7?
The title says it all.
I don't know if you guys watch the latest news in the Android section (i hope so). One thread made me listening: NativeSD.
As far as im concerned, it comes down to emulating an internal rom space on a (preferably faster) microSD.
So: We have no WM6.5 sd-build. Why not installing a "normal" rom in ths NativeSD-space?
Would this work?

AFAIK it's not possible yet. I know Cotulla posted on Twitter he was working on that. But I think bootloader won't support it, but I'm not sure
I assume that someone would still need to take apart the windows bootloader. That's what many here are waiting for. Haret is for linux build.
But I will jump in as soon as its ready to gogogo!
Sent from my HD2 using the power of Jelly Bean
If I remember correctly, Cotulla was done with making it possible to run Winmo on a SD card. He is just stuck (I guess) about figuring out how Winmo, Android, and I think WP 7 were going to share the same partition. My guess is its not working how he'd like so he put things aside and is working on other projects until new ideas or solutions come about in the future. What I'm wondering is why he just doesn't go ahead and release the Winmo SD by itself as I see he already made a DWI flasher for it already.
