Well 26 views so far and apparently no one yet knows the answer. Maybe I asked a good question

I don't know, but I'll bump and be looking for an answer as well.
What is NON-HLOS.bin? For what purpose it is been made?
So basically nonHLOS can be considered the core BSP and other supported software package, which performs the bare minimum functionalities at system boot-up including loading the HIgh Level OS(Linux/ Android/ Windows). Non HLOS is typically provided by the vendors owning the HW platform.

Hi, this is my first post at this great forum..
Is it possible to have Android firmware 1.6 on the HTC Hero, without HTC Sense (essentially the 1.6 you would find on a G1)?
If so, can someone point me in the right direction to find out how to do this.
Much thanks - Sorry if there is already a thread like this, I searched but didn't find anything matching.
This question has been answered several times. Please use the search tool on the forum?
Could you please post a link to a thread answering my question.
As stated above, I used to search tool to no avail.
Thanks.
Edit: I have found it after a lot of searching.

Mind posting a link so that others (who search and find this thread) can benefit from your searching?

For sure.

- This thread essentially asks the same question I am asking, it seems impossible for the moment other than disabling the sense home screen and some other random hacks to remove HTC applications.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567672
- This thread is the development page for developing a clean 1.6 for Heroes.
Its pretty much impossible at the moment to maintain all functionality while removing the Sense interface which is a real shame. That is, unless I have missed something.
Hope this helps.

It is more that in order to get everything working (hardware wise), the kernel source is pretty much required and we don't have it (yet!).

Hi all,
Does this exist, or is someone here already working on it (ETA?).
Thanks.

hey there. welcome to xda.
quick answer - it may exist, but not released. eta is unknown if ever.
also, please search. this is discussed in numerous threads.
again, welcome. cheers.
Thanks for the reply.
Are there any legal barriers to releasing Win7 for HD2, i.e., why it would not be released? I saw a video somewhere showing it runs on HD2, so why wouldn't it be released soon?
PS: A search was the first thing I did, and nothing captured my attention. Maybe this was buried as a discussion under some other threads, but I do not have the time to dig in, sorry. Or maybe I did not use the right lingo.
Hi all! I've been checking out this forum for quite some time now, and been following a ROM thread quite closely for the past week or so, so thought it was about time I got an account! Currently got a Galaxy S2, which I love.
I'm by no means a developer, but I'm also not a complete n00b and know my fair share about computers. Done a bit of programming on and off for a few years, build my own PC's etc. I previously had a HTC Hero, and I rooted that and have flashed several ROM's and Kernels over the past 2 years. I would like to learn a lot more though. There are a lot of things I don't understand.
I would like to know more about how things work concerning custom ROM's. What is it Kernels do exactly? What is AOKP? (Found some information on Google, but nothing that made a lot of sense). Modems are another thing I'd like to know more about.
I know a lot of the questions I have have probably been asked several times on the forum already, so I'm not going to ask for direct answers, but if anyone has any links to helpful websites that could help me on my way to learning more about the Android system and what you developers do I would greatly appreciate it.
Anyway, nice to meet you all, and I look forward to talking with some of you and contributing where I can.
Thanks,
Carl
Welcome to the forum!
First, read all the FAQs out there, recovery guides, how-to's... Everything before flashing
The Kernel (in the flashing process, it's the zImage, just like in Linux) is basically a bridge between the software and the hardware. It's basically what connects the NAND (the phone's HDD) with the hardware components like WiFi, Antenna, etc, and provides info, stats, commands and etc about them.
AOKP stands for Android Open KANG Project, and is kind of a Kang port.
Modems (in a flashing package, it's the PHONE file) is pretty much what "controls" the antenna section of the phone, which is WiFi, 3G/H/H+, call connection, etc. There are many modems out there, and I believe that the best Modem for the UK in Android 2.3.x is KL1, and for 4.0.x, XXLPQ.
If you would like more help, you can PM me!

Hi!
I have just switched over to a Samsung Galaxy S II i9100T, which should be the same as the international one.
I want to start developing for this phone, but I don't know enough about this phone yet. My question is: Where can I find the full hardware specs of this phone, including all of the chips contained in the phone? By the chips, I mean every single chip inside the phone.
Another question is: Does this phone have a 3.4 kernel? If no, I would like to develop one, which is why I have asked for information above.
Thanks.
To develop for this phone you'd need to know programming, and developing for Linux environment, which I suppose you know very well.
There are pdf manuals for the i9100 floating online. Because this is Samsung technical literature I'm unable to post the link. Google "i9100 technical manual" and you shall find.

I have the service manual. Is that the technical manual you were talking about?
And, my other question was not answered: Does this phone have a 3.4 kernel?
Thanks.

You can check that by going to Settings -> About Phone/About Device, the kernel version is there
Unless you were talking about custom kernels, in which case I have no idea, sorry, not part of this forum

I know how to check kernel version. Therefore, I was asking about a custom kernel.

Yes, technical manual. Wiyh all the wiring, chipset, connectors and so on.
Well, it is really hard to find out the name of the chips in the phone.
anyone using this device found a way to root this on android pie?
or a custom rom maybe?
The stock firmware really sucks (full of carrier apps, no bixby voice)
it would really be nice flashing a custom rom for this device so it wouldn't feel like a mid-range samsung phone. LOL

Only a few models are, if your isn't one of them about the only news is don't expect one anytime soon (after you read the quoted portion on another thread asking about rooting I posted in another thread asking about rooting).
Currently no matter how many times it is asked the answer has been the same (so asking is rather pointless). Unfortunately one shouldn't expect that to change as it stands...

**Side note there should be a sticky/pinned thread at the top of the Q&A topic repeating the answer. Can be a small FAQ thread or something/anything. Figure would help new members for using better thread titles, the search feature of the board (and how to use it in a quick tutorial if necessary), when asking for help some pointers on how to explain the issue/problem and what kind of details they should give (but fail either by mistake, impatience or being unaware).
I also use this device. I have unlocked the bootloader, but until now can't find a way to root. Desperately want to, as too many bloatware in it
