Does anybody think it will be possible for the OS on the Google phone to run on our PPC-6800's? please excuse my noobness if this has already been discussed but I was just curious.

Just follow the directions and everything should be groovy. Enjoy! :-D

I would like to add that it's really a "beta" and shouldn't be used as your "main" OS; as it's nowhere close to 'ready' (at least in my opinion) for this device.
I mean; go ahead and check it out, but don't expect it to be your phone's primary OS.
It was way cool to check it out and play with it but still very unstable but its getting there.
Cant get it to boot
Well I downloaded the files to boot it and i click on the harot boot exe hit run and then it hangs. Where are the actual directions on how to run it? Is there any?

You might want to put the files on a different SD card as I think it needs to be on a Fat32 partition.
It is a 512mb formatted to fat32 and it still doesnt work. I downloaded the android zip and not the sdk though if that might be the problem.
I actually figured out my problem. i kept all of the files in the folder and didnt extract to the root. my fault.
Do I have to install that heret bootloader first or should the olipro one I have work?
boot loader
No olipro is not even part of this. All you have to do is put all of the files in the root of your SD card and run it like an app and linux will boot. Keep in mind that there are so many bugs in it that you will never want it as ur primary os
development
Is anyone currently working on / developing a workable Android OS that we can flash, as opposed to using the Haret.exe file to essentially shell over Windows Mobile?
I installed this in the last couple of days, and have been able to make calls, access Google Maps, the browser, etc....but have no access to the keyboard, an on screen keyboard, etc.
I'd be willing to help test out anyones work if so. Thanks!
none of the buttons on the mogul works. a few of the keys work on the keyboard.
Update.
Join the HTC-linux chat channel.... If you want to help out. So far not many people on there own a Titan, so i've been trying to do my best to help out... The guys on there are extremely helpful... They will walk you through everything, and if you give them the information that they need, they will be able to develop more things for our titan... We are working on getting the keyboard working as of right now.... if you go in there... talk to dcordes, ginge, or ali1234... they will help you out... Like i said if we get more people in there we will be able to use Android to it's full capabilities... DZO has it working almost perfect on the Vogue.... The touch screen is still kinda wild in my opinion.... So we need to find a way to improve that as well...

When I get done with this Hurricane B.S. here in Texas i'll get with this guy and see if I can port any of it over.
Also something I'm interested in. Windows Mobile is tiring me, and I honestly would feel more comfortable running my phone on a *nix. Plus, it seems like Android is gaining momentum where WM seems to be losing it.

We just need ppl to get the keyboard and buttons on the Titan to work on Android. It will be done in good time, it's just there's no timeframe.
I've noticed that the touchscreen is quite flaky, too. Frankly, I think that's higher-priority than some of the hardware buttons.

...in that a single device has been launched from naught?
WM device sales have not decreased... Revice your statements and be honest. Android is immature. Particularly in that it lacks choices in software and suffe from odd OPEN development hesistency from Google. Android is a nice toy but it is not yet ready for widespread adoption. So, again, let's be honest and drop the rah-rah Android versus WM hyperbole.
It will great to have another OS to run on our HTC phones -- particularly the Titan -- but Android is unlikely to be on par to what WM provides within the useful lifespan of our current devices. As such, Android on the Titan is a great developmental toy.
Problems with tha applications !!
Hey !! i have run the haret.exe on my mogul but i have some problems, one of them is the calibration, it looks like the calibration of the screen is not the correct but anyways, that is not the main problem, the main problem is that i dont know how to close and application , i have tried with all the buttons and the application doesnt close, so i have to reset the mogul to start again.
The version on this link http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ is the correct one to the PPC6800?? or what is the correct version for the mogul??
Thanks in advance for your help !!

The buttons are complicated...to tell you the truth i hold down a bunch of random buttons on the keyboard...hahaha... but hold on... i'll try to map them right now...
Q = unlock
Q = menu (WHILE INSIDE PROGRAMS)
Shift = QUIT
Windows button = QUIT (one might be minimize, idk for sure)
hope that helps...make sure your getting the newest Android release... DZO has 1.0 on his website...http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
I bought an M730W about a month ago from geeks. It came with 2.3.4 on it. I searched high and low to find the ICS for it since I'd seen that the same model is out and comes with it installed. I finally contacted Geeks to see if they could get me in touch with the manufacturer. They had no contact info. Finally after digging around I noticed something with the name of the US based company that hold the patent rights to it. I then dug more and got their number and while I was on hold I found their site. At this address (mymidpad dot com forward slash Downloads_M730Flash dot html) iwas was able to obtain a good manual and the updated firmware. Inside the installer it comes with PhoenixUSBPro, an IMG file and a key. During the install it said it was installing drivers to my laptop but I can not find them when I connect my tablet. The only way that I can apply the update is to have my M730W connected to my machine in a way that it's recognized. The only way for me to do so now is to connect as a USB storage device which does me no good when it comes to using the included software and firmware for updating. So my question is, does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?
Hey Tod. I also have the m730w. ICS is definitely available for the tablet but theres a catch. Since its a tablet(a generic one at that) you have to use a program for your pc called Live Suite which is primarily used for the ainovo tablets but can be used with any generic tablet. I cant do it right now but most likely tonight, ill post the links and the information on how to upgrade to ics. im currently running 4.0.3 flawlessly and much faster and smoother than GB. and i have full root which i can also show you how to do. just let me know

That's killer Ace, thank you so much!!! Mine came rooted, which has been a blessing. Whenever you can get the information to me is fine. I'll do a search for Live Suite and see if I can at least get that step taken care of.

I don't have just the rom. What I've got is the package that can be downloaded from their site. I don't have enough posts in to put an external link in my posts here. I'd try using a different browser and going to the URL I cheated into my OP. Just replace "dot" with "." and "slash" with "/". The software doesn't install the drivers properly on Vista though so you will want to be aware of that.
Any other word??? I want to update my neice's if at all possible.
Wow, here are the instructions! Good luck!
http://mymidpad.com/M730W Refresh instruction.pdf
Bump.
I have searched this exhaustively! I still don't know what ROM to download or how to boot into recovery mode. The guy above who posted about Live Suite? Haven't heard back from him. I downloaded that, but without the ROM, I don't see the point in even setting it up. I'm not particular about which ROM, as long as it's newer than the one on here, preferable CM7 or newer, but beggars can't be choosers emmirite??!!

LOL. Hi there. Nope. Not a damn thing have I done with mine. It is sitting on my desk. I let my son play Minecraft on it on long rides, and I use it as backup for my phones camera. I know it could be so much smoother, but is being crippled by it's OS. If I could ficgure out how to boot it into recovery I might risk bricking it with a questionable ROM. But I can't find the ROM OR the means by which to boot into recovery. In truth though, I mainly got it to patootz with. I'm more of a laptop kind of guy anyway.

If you don't know, there's no chance any of us ever will. Someone got this for free at some promotion and handed it off to me, so I'm out absolutely nothing. Just a bummer there isn't more to do with it. You'd think that all these POS tablets would just share the same mainboard and proc, so that some standard JB rom would work for all of them. The screen is terrible and it registers touches so poorly that many games are just unplayable. But, if I give it to one of my nieces or nephews, I'll be a hero!
Thanks though!

Yes you will be a hero. I'm sure there are generic ROMS that would work with this. A) I have no idea where they would be. and B) I don't know how to flash them. If I found one I suspected was close, I might try to ODIN it on there.

You'd need a dev to figure that out, probably a kernel issue. Try getting one of the devs for your device to make a port of it.

the acho.com website has ICS for C905 now.
@technobucks yea i know but they have serial numbers for it and mine is not in the range given so the touch wouldnt work thats why im trying different methods
wow...you're so lucky that only the touch screen inverted. in most case your device won't boot up if the hardware configuration is too different.

I'll agree with technobucks's advice. even if they have different serial numbers, if the model and the hardware is same you won't get any significant trouble. the succes possibility is a lot higher than trying to port a rom from another device.
yea i tired the one that was made for the device serial to my device and the touch screen doesnt work at all not even inverted so is there anyway to fix
Ps i just flashed back to 2.3

Hello,
I am probably going to buy a S3 tomorow,
But i just read that there are something called Sudden death and that chip brick? or if those are the same.
Well basicly i wanted to ask if its safe to buy a S3 or if those are still big risks ? ^
Just wanna know if its recommend and if it doesnt has problems ^^
I probably wont root it nor anything at the start,
First wanna be sure it works properly before ripping the guarantee apart
Probably afterwards i may root and do a cyanogen mod rom on it.
But thats still for the future and doesnt rly matter at the moment ^^
Or if you of course suggest another phone ^^ But i doubt it, I realy think the S3 is the best buy atm for 500 euro,
(Well maybe Nexus4, but you cant find those anywhere in europe lol! or very overpriced.)
Thanks for your time and for being honest ^^
best regards,
DrLuigi!
hi there
there is a search button, you should use it.
there's a big thread about the sudden death in the general section.
cheers
Sudden death is supposed to be fixed by the last (or the one before it) update. I don't know anything about chip brick though, so someone else might educate you on that. If all goes wrong, you can "unroot" your device.
I would suggest to wait for Xperia Z, but that's COMPLETELY (=no pitchforks and torches pls) subjective. The main reason is that Samsung is dev-unfriendly, otherwise everything is "good".
btw just a quick question,
Is there any idea about when Samsung launches 4.2.1? ^^
Sorry for double posting
Best regards,
DrLuigi.

It has been updated since 4.1.2 I believe.
Update your phone straight away. Do it through your phone the update. About 200mb file plus some small updates.
I tried doing the update through Kies and the update failed for some reason and had to swap my phone by getting another new one because it wouldn't turn on. STAY AWAY FROM KIES.

The GS3's got a gpu from 2010, confirmed sudden death issues and it's unconfirmed if they've been fixed, lag everywhere because of touchwiz, dialer and contacts take a year to launch when not in memory. They could be forced to be kept in memory if you want to root and mod to fix what Samsung can't. AOSP roms that perform worse than Windows 98 (also because of Samsung's unwillingness to give us sources)
And that's not even half of it.

Ye i looked on Ebay,
They are like all 560 euro even in the UK,
And those under 500 are 470 euro wich are 8gb versions,
And you cant use MicroSDs so you are stuck on like 6gb ? 4 maybe.
And IF its broken its all that emailing and calling, Then they probably refuse and i gotta start going to LG but they dont wanna accept it due its from the UK and not Belgium so i gotta call UK and ship it to there etc etc.
I pretty much like a real shop instead of starting to buy phones that are this expensive through the internet from a diffrent country tbh.

Btw i also saw some Articles just a sec ago that it should be fixed by now,
Hopefuly it is lol..
Due i am buying a 16gb model, (Or i ofc find another model wich would be better)
And they say thats the version that has this problem most,
Well i guess they just get more reports from thats since most just buy that one instead of the 32gb etc..
Anyhow^^
Yes Samsung released a update for android that was going to be for fixing the problems.

Well i guess it will be the S3,
Even tho its a older GPU, I dont think there is a better phone at the belgium market atm,
If you know one please say, but i realy doubt it.
I am again thinking about S3 after reading this ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2123341 )
Well ofc this doesnt change the GPU,
But still if you know a better phone like i asked above ^ Please tell me, Due i literaly already looked at most of em
Only phone that is cheaper and has simulair specs is the LG optimus 4X hd and i highly doubt that phone has less bugs and problems then the S3.
Thanks everyone for your time again ^^

Of course if you know another mobile please tell me ^^
Under 500 euro tho, and not the Nexus since that isnt in Belgium cheap, Its like 570 euro here on its cheapest aka 650 dollar i am guessing.
btw what are the good roms for the s3 these days ?

Hi guys,
I just bought Motorola Razr XT910 GSM and i was looking for simple guide on rooting/installing custom ROMs but with no success.
Infos about my phone are:
System version:
672.180.41.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
Baseband version:
U_04.10.00R
Build number:
6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6
I was wondering what is the simplest way (step by step guide would be nice) to install leaked OTA 4.1.2 ?
Is that version stable with GSM patch?
Currently i have clean stock ICS 4.0.4 on it. No root no nothing.
Just to mention i'm linux user, if there is a way to root and install 4.1.2 from linux that would be good if not i'll find some windows machine to do that!
Thanks

6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6
I was wondering what is the simplest way (step by step guide would be nice) to install leaked OTA 4.1.2 ?
Is that version stable with GSM patch?
Currently i have clean stock ICS 4.0.4 on it. No root no nothing.
Just to mention i'm linux user, if there is a way to root and install 4.1.2 from linux that would be good if not i'll find some windows machine to do that!
Thanks

Also, there are some great ICS Roms overhere, therefore you can try them.
Welcome and happy flashing!

Welcome.
Forgot smt: With BMM you can also flash kernels and basebands and you can find it at play store.
I recommend Chinese baseband for EU devices. Better radio and battery life

Is anyone else facing this problem , has plagued me since my 2.3.6 days. And since your phone is new, thought I'd ask.
The screen picks up all sorts of mis-correct inputs when pugged into the AC mains, especially noticeable when texting in any app. This happends to a lesser extent when using the USB port. Had this phone for 6 months now. Am using the OG charger of course. Strange one may think but is this a general widespread problem ? This is the only problem holding me back from rooting and getting the JB ball rolling. BTW, had 2 razr's so I have two AC adaptors. Tried both.
If this is a digitizer problem as someone did indicate once somewhere, I'm regret ever having bought this phone. Have had to refrain from using it while charging. And if so, am going to push for a different device. Didn't buy a dysfunctional phone, for sure
Service Center means a LOT of downtime and I cannot even backup app data as I haven't root. Can anyone help me here?
Thanks !
PS :
Here's claims to back me up. If so, has anyone successfully replaced their product ? I wouldn't mind an HD given that I did pay full RRP.
for no reason my Razr will suddenly start going crazy. Random buttons will be pressed on the screen like someone is trying to hack into it (but I know they are not). Because of the random key presses, apps will open and close super fast. The only way to stop it is to power down and power it back up. Which after I do that, it's fine

Researched the issue months ago and learned there seems to be an issue with the digitizer (that's the piece of glass and components that identify your swipes). I thought it was only with certain earlier versions of the Droid, so am disappointed to hear you're having trouble with the Razr. Some folks have reported sending it back to Motorola, and $200 later, it's fixed. While early sufferers were Motorola users, I just read a post where someone is having the same issue with an HTC Eris...
I suggest returning your phone for a new one

I had same issue when i plug it in wall cord, i cant click on anything precise, its the charger, i use one that came with my nexus 7 and have no trouble using phone while charging. I didnt test it on USB port, but im sure its charger problem. Try another charger!
I havent bought my phone new, its used one but in perfect condition!
Also i should have mention that i had same problem with Galaxy I7500 (first samsung galaxy device, not the tablet its phone) couple years ago and also with Galaxy S3 (my brothers phone). Same problems occured when using some chargers. Try swaping chareges until you find one that fits
Maybe i'm wrong but thats what helped me.

Same with me. Ditched the moto charger and I use a Blackberry charger. Never had a repeat of the issue again, and it used to happen a lot on the Motorola charger.
What is "BP TOOLS" and where can i find that ??
<EDIT> Got it, never mind </EDIT>

Could it be a grounds issue?

I hope not. Don't see why a 5.2V device needs grounding. And if anything .. the screen is glass.. It's capacitive in nature to a small extent. Built up charge should not do what it does. The USB off my MSI mobo and ASUS is filtered and grounded.. Even they do this to an admittedly lower frequency.
The Moto charger puts out a healthy 1A if I'm not mistaken. Not trading that in for some POS BB charger- It's 800mAh the one lying around at a lower 5V rating. That's going to mess things up in the long run-- higher voltage and amperage charging is faster and gets to the full capacity of the battery- the voltage has a say when it comes to lithium batteries.
Anyone here get a replacement from Moto if they had the same issue? Does you think its worth a try?
Thanks for the replies:good:
I had a Milestone (a GSM variant of the Droid) and it had the very same issue. However, it had a metal frame - upon touching it the issue was instantly alleviated.

So this works out to an inherent flaw with this screen? I had a SAMOLED on my OG Wave and it never messed up {ever} must have been the metal body. Nevertheless, The razr is FUBAR when charging. Had an S2 for a while, never cropped up despite having a similar screen panel. Think I should just file a complaint and get the ball rolling here? Though service (Moto) is terrible in my country, and I don't think they've even launched the Razr HD here. I'd rather pick it over the S3.
WIshful thinking!
