[Q] How do I find memory map of any android phone ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am trying to build simple custom minimal kernel for my android phone (htc explorer). So from where do I find out memory map for it.
Thanks!

Memory map [QSC60X5] but will go with any Qualcomm processor
I was looking to ask similar minded questions and before posting a new thread in hardware, in my head that is what this is. Also I guess I have the mentality of a single ship solution using the QSC6085 as in the LG Rumor Touch.
When your looking at the memory dumped from CDMA Workshop or QXDM, are we looking at the attached NAND? I would think that is wrong but it is right in order of the memory map posted in the document 80-VC881-3 which I think includes registers and everything?
Thanks

Android port any chance any new info

Android port any chance any new info
might want to sticky an android topic, new fresh details as of 28th jan 2010
I´m a fully ignorant in programming but I have an idea on my mind, if the Nexus One have the same Snapdragon platform that Toshiba TG01, could be possible a port of Android 2.1 to the Toshiba TG01 and HTC HD2 also with Snapdragon?
I don´t know if it´s possible or not, but to me would be a dream have the power of Toshiba with Android ... and if it would have Sense UI would be perfect xDD
I saw someone said Android on TG01, don't know if this is true or not.

Oh, can't believe it
Yeah i think the dood who posted that over at gsmarena was just lying.
Out of my own interest I've tried a few builds of Android on the TG01 but havn't got anything to boot up fully yet - i havn't played with startup.txt files or anything yet - i might have another dabble at the weekend if i get abit of time.
I'm not a dev and have minimal knowledge of Linux so theres not too much i can do, but if we could at least get a build to boot and show the Home screen i think would be a great start to springboard development.
There's a lot of builds of Android for HTC devices flying around, it couldnt hurt to try them and see what happens - You cannot harm your device in any way doing this as it isn't flashed to ROM just copy the relevent files to the root of your SD card and then run HARET.EXE application.
I've noticed the boot text is really tiny so it's difficult to read any error messages and such.
If anyone has a go at testing any builds it might be worth posting here with the build and results of any testing.
Also this may well be just a complete waste of time - who knows!
Cheers
Paul

If I recall well some discussions in Android for Diamond threads, if you try to tweak the settings in Haret and give it bad values you can hurt your device or the memory card... So be carefull...
To people not confident in what they are doing : don't do it ! You have been warned

Thanks Howell, im sure people here would be more than aware of any possible risks as always with this sort of stuff but from my understanding this should be safe - the HARET application is simply a bootloader for the Linux kernel - it absolutely cannot write to your phone's system files - it can however write files to your SD but cannot damage it in any way - the generated files can simply be deleted.
There's actually no settings to tweak in HARET either - it simply looks for a startup.txt file, if theres none present you have the option to browse for one - theres nothing else to tweak. The startup.txt file contains the settings that Haret reads - if this isn't correct it simply crashes the device which then requires a soft reset if in fact it doesn't reboot itself.
If someone who actually knows from experience and not 'recalling from another thread' wants to verify any Harm that can be caused with HARET please let us know!
Thanks

They have port android on HD1. Like it's in WVGA, maybe some crazy guys want to try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=621498&highlight=android+HD
Supports Blackstone, Diamond, Diamond 500, Fuze, Raphael, Raphael 800, Rhodium, Tilt 2 & Topaz
if programmers started making a port i would consider getting a tg01 i love the white color, currently i have a htc fuze and am always running android onit.
who are the main android developers on forum?
Just Trying
Just Trying The Hatet way on my phone also trying the htc .cab way
dam they both just fail and i tried all startup.txt files for all phones!!!
It ain't that easy. You need the configure the starup.txt you need to find the Thosiba tg01 id etc etc...
You need a kernell who works with the toshiba hardware...
You need a lot, but it is posible.
i am currently trawling the intraweb looking for a zimage kernal to run my tg01 and trying to do the startup file myself.
slow going...
If u get android working on tg01 please upload the file and give us a link please
ditto, you'd be a legend if you could get it going!!
i think android will be so cool on this device come on android geeks where are you we need your skills show us what you can do do us proud and bring android to tg01 i dare you if you can hell i will even donate let the world know we want android on toshiba tg01 let the android games begin.......... woops sorry if i got abit carried away.
I agree and i would donate to if we could get android on tg01!!!!
CUMON!!!
android 2 be or not 2 be that is the question

I had already tried. I had previously a HTC HD and i put the same memory card in my new TG01. I tried to run Haret.exe, but the phone stuck and need to remove the battery to turn on again.

[Q] Fun ways to make my old HTC Dream/Possible Damn Small Linux emulation?

Well, I searched around here, And failed to find any relevant info, I'm looking for some thing fun to do with my old HTC Dream G1. I was wondering if there's any way to emulate DSL on it, if theres a VM or way to run it.
I'm also looking for any other creative Idea on what to do with the old thing.
Atm its running CGen 4, But I would like to use it as a small desktop os device or find some sort of creative use for it, figure DSL would be best because of the limited ram the device has, Even if its just a live boot.
Any advise or instructions or links that would help?
Google didn't find much other wise I wouldn't be posting.

[Q] S3D development help

Hi everyone,
Im not sure where else to go for some help, as the best development community Ive found I think this is probably the best place.
I am currently trying to develop an application on the HTC EVO 3D for a Hospital to help them test the Stereoscopic vision on children. (so any help you can provide is for a good cause!)
The issue I am having is that there is such a small amount of documentation on the 3D code needed. There are some sample apps that come with the OpenSense SDK but I am having trouble tying to get what I need out of them. I can alter them to maybe display a different image or something, but the actual code needed to split the images and send them to each eye is proving hard to find and pull out of the code so I can use it.
Basically Im looking for any help from anyone who has used this code before and could point me in the right direction as to which parts of the code I need to extract or look at in the OpenSense samples. Becuase at the moment I am really struggling.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.
If this is better posted somewhere else I do apologise, I dont have enough posts under my belt to post in the development thread where I would imagine it is better placed.
Development is the last place to post this. Development is for roms and kernels. Maybe try the theme/app section. You might find the help you need there.

[Q] Software dev questions

Seeing as I don't have 10 posts yet, I have to post here -.-
So here's my down into the rabbit hole story and question;
Anyhow, in regards to software dev, the M$ sdk is sorely lacking in ability to mess with stuff (i.e. contacts, keyboard, etc). So, I decided to look further into how to go about a semi legal way of making a native app to run on it, fell into the qualcomm stuff, and gobi stuff, ended up looking more into the processor and gpu, etc. Ran into the 8960 hardware hacking thread (very informative if you want to help find a way to jtag it). Which lead me to here (even though I've been watching these threads with great interest) to see the status on the unlocking of the device.
Anyhow, I want to know, because I'm fairly new at this I only have a basic understanding of how it all fits together, what would be the best method to gain access to the outgoing call functions of the phone? And, I mean DIRECTLY. Would one need to 'unlock' the phone to allow a software interface to do that, or could one write a code using the gobi sdk? I understand that WP8 doesn't allow a dev to write to the contacts info, but there has to be a way to circumvent this. I'm unsure of which rabbit hole I should be going down to find my answers. And, screw the SDK, it does nothing I want it to do (i.e. write to the internal contacts, and yes, I know about the contactstore).
And also, a link to a very informative post on FFU's would be nice
Any help?

Tracing the Baseband

Hi all,
I am trying to trace the baseband by placing hooks according to this article on Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
fabiensanglard.net/cellphoneModem/index2.php ( I can not post links please add http)
But I have been able to place the hook but can not intercept any communication. I have several questions.
1. This article shows that RILd uses /dev/smd0 to communicate with the modem. But for Nexus 5/Galaxy S3 there is no smd0. Does anyone have any idea on what interface Nexus 5/Galaxy S3 uses to communicate with the modem?
2. Does the RILd interface / Modem driver use the AT interface or something else to communicate for the newer android phones (this article is pretty old)?
3. Have anyone done this sort of project to trace the communication between the application processor and baseband processor recently. Can anyone give me any idea on how to proceed or any link?
I am a newbie pardon me for any silly queries.
Thanks,
Imtiaz

I have a Nexus 5 and a Galaxy S3, both rooted with TWRP installed, I can try to help but you'll have to tell me what you need/want me to do on my end.
I'm slightly familiar with RIL on the S3, 3-4 years ago, myself and some other members here that have a Straight Talk S3 SCH S968C, it is only 3G capable, no 4G LTE, we were using the Verizon SCH I535 ROMs without a SIM because the S968C required no SIM, but the last few builds of Kit Kat, just before Lollipop was released, started forcing us to use a SIM to have working mobile data. The group of us dug around trying to find a way to get the ROMs to work without the SIM on the S968C they way they worked without SIM before whatever change was made in the ROMs that required SIM. In the process, there was a lot of discussion about everything involving the radio at all levels and from all angles. I also did some collaborating with Motorhead(a developer from Android Area 51 forum) doing some RIL development trying to solve the issue.
It's been a while but I still have both devices, the tools and the software to dig into this with you. Where would you like me to start?
Here is a thread with a bit of the discussion involved in trying to get a working ROM built without the SIM dependency. I'm not a developer but I chased this issue for a year or more, I might have encountered something that can answer some of your questions. I don't remember any details after all this time but anything that I discovered at the time that might be relevant might come back to me in the process. There is RIL disscusdion randomly scattered in this thread, you'll have to go through every post, maybe one of the devs involved might have posted something helpful in the coding that was discussed.

Send me a PM and we can arrange a more convenient and faster way of communicating if you would like, it might help us make faster progress with this.
