[UPDATE 7!/DEV/ANDROID/ROM]Project DroiD2 - Touch2 ROM Development

UPDATE 7
Im still alive in trying but still stuck in haret mean while i created a android version that SHOULD work if i could boot it more on this later!
UPDATE 6
If you are a dev or got any thing to ask i opened a chat in EFNET (IRC)
Channel name is #DroiD2 see you there!
UPDATE 5
It seems windows 6.1 works with haret alot better.
I installed this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756020
and used the exe from UPDATE 4 and the default.txt from UPDATE 3.
Now it don't restart or boot it freeze so it is a step closer of booting android.
Since the HTC Touch Cruise have the exact same specs we could use those roms to run it on the HTC Touch2 so ill almost get in android now we are one step closer again!
UPDATE 4
I was searching in the other android post for this device and found a haret that works but still no android boot.
I will attach the file below and make a short movie of my progress so far now.
Remove the ''.zip'' part to get it work.
UPDATE 3
Update time!
At this moment i am fixing the default.txt and getting one step closer now!
Here is the new default.txt code
Code:
Set RAMSIZE 0x8000000
Set RAMADDR 0x1000000
set MTYPE 2305
set KERNEL zImage
Set initrd initrd.lzma
Set cmdline ""board-mega.panel_type=1 pm.sleep_mode=1 mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 no_console_suspend board-htcmega-battery.battery_capacity=1100 clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 lcd.density=160 ppp.nostart=0 sys_partition=/sdcard/andboot/system.img data_partition=/sdcard/andboot/data.img"
boot
Still i getting this error.
''Terminating haret due to unhandled exception (pc=011c4640)''
A older Haret might fix it but don't know at this moment i am using 0.5.2
But i am getting one step closer now!
UPDATE 2
Ok this is a kernel and rom that might also work on the Touch2 and got the correct settings also.
But i need still a MTYPE without that i can't boot.
Here is the default.txt code for now.
Code:
set RAMSIZE 0x08000000 set RAMADDR 0x10000000 set MTYPE 2293 set KERNEL zImage set initrd initrd.lzma set cmdline "no_console_suspend ppp.nostart=0 hw3d.version=1 mddi.width=240 mddi.height=320 clock-7x00.mddi=0xa51 board-htcpolaris.panel_type=1 board-htcpolaris.no_boot_vibration=0 sys_partition=/sdcard/andboot/system.img data_partition=/sdcard/andboot/data.img"
boot
I know it is from the porlaris but they have the same hardware so it SHOULD work.
Here is a link to the rom i trying to use for now.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=839R4Z47
UPDATE
It appears the HTC Touch Cruise have also the exact same specs and hardware and that device got a android port!!! (NAND/SD HARET/ANDBOOT)
LINK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=640
Only diffrence of those two are HTC Touch Cruise have other hard buttons and have Windows CE kernel 5.2 and the HTC Touch2 got Windows CE 5.2.2
But this gonna make it even more easy!
Since no one have ported droid to this device yet i gonna make a start my self.
I am also want some help ofcourse but back to main topic.
Since this cpu is a 32bit Qualcomm MSM7225, 528MHz ram 256mb and rom 512mb android porting dont need to be hard at all!
In fact really easy to-do because there alot phones with the same specs same as the Touch2 and they run droid also.
Here is a device list with same cpu ,amount of rom/ram and resolution
HTC Tattoo A3232 (HTC Click 100)
T-Mobile Pulse Mini (Huawei U8110)
HTC Wildfire A3333 (HTC Buzz)
Vodafone 858 Smart (Huawei U8160)
So porting droid to it won't be that hard.
The close one to the Touch2 is HTC Click only some buttoms are diff (and some other functions i dindt talk about it yet).
There is hope and Project DroiD2 will bring it!

pple come and say "hey i can delevop an adroid for mega" but no one finished.
i still have same phone for one year. and still waiting for a real developer to do that. if you can really really do that, all i am saying is just make a beta or something and lots of people will be ready for donate or something.
(sorry for my english. not my native language)

well this time some one gonna do i just got this phone i won't give up until i created droid fot it

Hi RDilus,
Touch2 resolution is 320x240
In your Update 4 : mddi.width=320 mddi.height=480 lcd.density=160
Is that correct?

---

RDilus Hello!
As I can I help you this it.The most problem with "in preloader" in haret - as I think in asmstuff.s.I try to get vibro GPIOS and add this to haret source code,but nothing...I think we need to find the correct address in the function MMU_Trampoline.In any case, we need to work with Haret HD Mini sourcesode.If you can - contact with me in Skype(kipill-nn).
Look where:
Code:
@
@ Cotulla: this code only for HTC PHOTON (HTC HD MINI)
@
.section .text.trampoline
.global mmu_trampoline, mmu_trampoline_end
mmu_trampoline:
LDR R6, =mmu_trampoline2
LDR R7, =0xACCFF000 [COLOR="Red"]Why this?[/COLOR]
MOV R8, R7
MOV R4, #(mmu_trampoline2_end - mmu_trampoline2)
1:
LDRB R5, [R6], #1
STRB R5, [R7], #1
SUBS R4, R4, #1
BNE 1b
LDR R0, =0x0FFFF000 [COLOR="Red"]And why this?[/COLOR]
MOV PC, R8
.ltorg
mmu_trampoline_end:
Sorry for my English...

well first of all if you could help would be amezing
second i don't have skype but we can contact in IRC
if you wanna use IRC just go to mibbit and search for EFNET and enter #DroiD2
and use you're Skype or XDA Forum name
here is a direct link to mibbit
http://02.chat.mibbit.com/

Hey guys,I can help too.I can do testing and research.I am searching forums for some guide on asmstuff and trampoline.
BTW i am ready to brick my device for android

---

count me in for the donation. but prove it first anyway thank you for your effort to restart this

---

I seen your thread in the polaris threads just a few things
The polaris is MSM7200 cpu not MSM7225 so probably not the best for comparison the wildfire is closer but i think building from source is your best bet.
Also I think the main area to look at is haret code as the haret doesn't like the msm7225 chip.Try adding a earlyharetlog.txt to your haret folder to see whats going on.Good luck

---

Any news? I hope you are a true developer...

---

I haven't got a touch2 but you need to get haret working on your phone you could try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=284592&d=1266872927 and make sure you have earlyharetlog.txt in the same folder.
Also check if you have a network connection then you can use haretconsole to see whats going on.
If you build your own kernel you can enable debugging so you can see what's going on.

All is ready
All is ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How ready? If so place it. A bmp file alone is not good enough. Place something only if it is real.

i believe the same as well that you should build haret from scratch. the main problem between msm7200 and msm7225 is that msm7225 DOESN'T have L2 cache in which the codes for msm7200 uses. this is why the current haret build doesn't work with mega.

Rdilus told me the porting is bad...PHONE ****!!!
