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/
long story short, i was running windows 7 on my laptop. the company that gave me the laptop (and it is mine now, so not a big deal i suppose that i borked it), apparently, had some type of encryption/bit locker on the drive.
i upgraded my rAmz, and when i was prompted to reboot after changing some settings in the system control panel to take utilize all the rAmz,.... and it booted into a bit lock screen requiring a code. i am out of ideas to get around this. i need some of the data on the drive (photography stuff).
my question is... aimed more at some of the experienced people on this board...
does anybody wanna take a stab at unlocking this thing?
i will buy you beer. and if you get around it, hookers.

You're not just talking about the bios/cmos password, right?
If that's all it is you can just go in and reseat the little battery inside (usually under the CPU) and there will no longer be a password.

No... Its definitely the drive. Anybody can get around BIOS lol
From what I have read online about bit lockers is they are near impossible to hack/crack. Somebody would have to be extremely knowledgeable and probably require something other and the keyboard and their finger tips.
I am really disappointed. There is irreplaceable data on that drive :/

Without the PW it will be impossible to crack. Its a mix of hardware and software level encryption usually using a TPM chip in the laptop. Without that password the only thing you can do is whip the drive. Best to try and get the PW.

Thought I'd post a contrary opinion (based on many of the threads here and on other sites).
I REALLY like my NT! I've come up Handsprings, Palms, Pres, and iPads, so this isn't my first visit to the rodeo. Currently, I've got the NT and a Sprint Evo 3D.
Yes, out of the box there's some gaps, but a bit of time here and other forums have offered suggestions on side-loading, sync'ing my Evo apps, and tweaking the KT. It's not the end-all-and-be-all pad,but for the price, it does well.
The biggest issue I had was the lack of offline media, since I spend 12-15 hours a week in the air. However, a bit of cross-syncing and I've got my Amazon MP3 library and a couple of pretty good media players.
Am I missing things? Well, I'd really like bluetooth for my freedom keyboard and being able to see my side loaded apps from the main launcher would be nice, but at this moment, I'm finding the KT to be a fine investment.
Oh, and I have moved my new media purchases over to BN. I figure tossing them some bucks only encourages them to keep Nook development going.
I'm really happy with mine too. Its super snappy, feels much more polished than the nook color did. Plus I love reading and reading is an absolute pleasure on this thing.
I absolutely adore my NT, granted its my first tablet, but its ridiculous how much i can do with it for the price i paid. Not to mention it hasnt even been rooted yet!
Ok, I have to ask because I keep seeing things go back and forth:
If one could get a NC or NT for the same price (hypothetically), which would they choose? The rooted NC? Or the "upgraded" NT?
I currently have the NC and I can get my gf to get me a NT for christmas bc she wants my NC. Is it worth the trade?
Well, since I haven't found too much I couldn't do without a touch of effort, I'm not feeling the pain of not being able to root. Sure, it may come later, but, yeesh, I've only had the NT for 3 days!!

The nook tablet. The difference in speed alone is worth it, the nook color felt underpowered to me even rooted.
Ditto.
On paper, the specs are simply hardware upgrade...this much B&N got it right. In reality, it makes the the device more responsive and more enjoyable user experience. The jerky delay in NC drove me nuts.
I have owned the xoom, asus transformer, galaxy tab 10.1, htc flyer and got rid of them all. The one reason? The tegra 2 processor. These devices were hamstrung in the video playback department, a fundemental functional of a media tablet. The NT plays the same hd media files i couldn't on these high end devices FLAWLESSLY. If you ask me this alone makes the nook tablet worth it.

My tablet history has been:
Viewsonic Gtab (Awful. Just awful. Don't ever even look at one)
Nook Color (1.1ghz OC and still slow to my tastes)
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (The designer of the Tegra 2 should be impaled as punishment)
Nook Tablet (It does what I wanted except run Google stuff)
What I had wanted was to watch 720p shows in bed or plane or between classes. NT has been the only thing that could do that except my phone (SGS Fascinate).
Even without a root ever coming to be and having to deal with sideloading I still think this is the best tablet I have ever owned. And it's made by a damn bookstore >.>
There some flaws but I bought it mainly for browsing the internet. It really excels at that! I have mainly been using dolphin, not the stock browser. Overall I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I was at Best Buy today and checked out the kindle fire. It was cool but I really didnt like size of it. I have big hands and like how now matter how i hold my nook its always comfortable. The only thing I really want to change is the crappy keyboard
About the not seeing sideloaded apps, I installed go launcher. From there I use a combo of widget locker, Wave launcher(right side of the screen), and button savior( left side of the screen). I also learned to fear the nook button. I havnt seen the stock nook launcher in over a day now.

I have noticed that using the n button in certain situations (ex: during video in MX Player, certain games) it acts as a back button. Don't fear the n just treat it like a very "special" friend.
I've driven twice to a B&N store and played with the device. As of right now, I still haven't taken the plunge because of three big reasons:
1) I need a web browser that can let me access an Extranet of my work place, and when I used the NT stock browser, the login page button doesn't even show up as a button, but just a jpeg. I know using the Android stock nameless browser, it isn't a problem at all. So it's a huge issue for me.
2) Even if I can get the web browser issue resolved, I am fearful how B&N has the unilateral ability to update the NT without our consent (unless specifically block B&N incoming traffic), we'll lose the ability to sideload and send us back to stone age. (It wouldn't be an issue if root is accomplished)
3) The 1gb user content space wouldn't an issue if we can root it, but now it seems like a huge deal. (Again, it wouldn't be an issue if root is accomplished)
Are my concerns legitimate? I firmly believe the NT could be huge, but right now, we just need to be patient and let our devs gurus find an exploit, or somehow we can get B&N to loosen up the grip on the bootloader.

Well, issue 2 is definitely legitimate. Issue 1, just go to the store and install dolphin on one of their nooks, see if you can login to work.
Issue 3, if the rumors are true that they will be able to repartition the space in a week or so then, well, not an issue.
if the nook tablets bootloader is truly locked, then say good bye to ever, ever seeing a beautiful custom kernel on the nook tablet to perform tweaks such as overclocking. This also makes it difficult to create custom roms. cyanogenmod 7 is a possibility with 2nd init. cyanogenmod 9 is also a possibility, but unless official ics is dished out to the nook tablet, then we will get cyanogenmod 9 2nd init with gingerbread libs.. Someone should send a rather nasty note to barnes & noble about this.
Re: 1GB usable - It's a legitimate support issue. You (and everyone concerned) should call support and light a fire.
Front-line grunts won't be able to help you (a good thing), so ask to escalate it to as high as you can go. Your first response will be to get the tech's name. Your last response will be, "I'm sorry you can't help me with this issue. Please refer me to someone who can. If no other tech is available, please let me speak to your manager."
Don't get discouraged if you get blown off or hit a dead-end. Redial and retry. Social engineering is about patience and persistence. Always be polite, but firm.
Once you get to someone who knows his bits and bytes, then soften your tone and get friendly. Talk shop. Use the occasion to ask about other techy things, like, eh, locked bootloader. Get whatever info you can, including the dude's extension number so you can call him back.
The strategy is to leverage a legitimate support issue to get info about the things you really want to know. To do that, you'll have to troll their support services, and have some social engineering skill. It's probably best done in a team, but you can be the Lone Ranger if you're good.
BTW, techsupps have scripts, and you should have one as well. Plan everything you want to say in advance, and type them out.
Anyway, at the very least, you will get the 1GB issue logged and escalated.
I honestly don't think they're going to bother blocking this loophole. There's really nothing in it for them but bad press. Currently they can sell a tablet to regular folks, while at the same time offering a tablet that's also appealing to techie types (but without having to advertise it). There's really no advantage in blocking the loophole.
Also I'm wondering: is there NO way to block updates from Barnes and Noble? No way to tell the device to notify before actually updating? I understand that B&N will push out updates without any warning, but isn't there a way that WE can decide to accept them or not? Or is it really just totally out of our hands?
to whooever it was who thought the HTC flyer was running a tegra 2: it's not. It's a 1.5 ghz single core.
So far, the t2 seems fine in conjunction with mx video player and the software decode on the things I've tried it on. but I'm not mostly using a tablet for video, so the fact that a PAL formatted disc image I have makes trouble is ok by me. I will say, though, that the single core chip in the Samsung media player seems faster than the t2 or the (admittedly brief) run I took at an NT this evening. I didn't walk out of BN needing desperately to replace my NC, though - manual nooter, 1.1 ghz kernel, seemed relatively comparable to what I saw, but I wasn't ready to actually test carefully.
The NT is rooted as of today, via zergrush. This should make it possible to redo the partitioning. The bootloader's another issue; I don't know if anyone has tried looking at putting the little guy into fastboot and seeing if oem unlock is an accepted command. It may be. Unlocking it may turn off Netflix support, but it should open up avenues for complete custom ROMs.
On blocking OTA updates: probably fairly simple. D/l the OTA and look at the build id strings in build.prop. Update build.prop on your device accordingly. I've blocked the 1.3 update this way, and it works great.
It will probably not work cleanly for blocking the 1.4 update, though, if that's a Gingerbread update, since to get the block you probably have to tell the device not just that it's running the current BN build, but that it's also running a Gingerbread vintage OS - but I don't know about that.
There are some sqlite hacks for blocking updates as well - setting an autoupdate flag to "false," basically. I'm not sure how well they work, but blocking the update is always a topic of discussion immediately after one's released and no one's figured out how easy it is to pop yet
My real question on the NT is whether it contains a complete recovery image. Very few Android devices are as idiot-proof as the NC. Most of the "recovery" modes I've seen don't offer the ability to return the device to a true stock state. The NC, at least, is fully recoverable.
To me, that makes the NC one of the most useful Android platforms out there, and if the NT can't do that, then it's not really much of an upgrade for me -- I screw things up. Often. Badly.

I'm fairly certain that it does have a full recovery image imbedded somewhere. Yesterday I tried in stalling Chainfire (which apparently messes with the filesystem) in order to get full access to the GPU and fool the market, making all apps show up. After installing it, which required a reboot, my NT went into a boot-loop. I could not power it off and with no recovery available I thought I was toast and out of $260. However, after many (10?) failed boots it automatically went into Factory Reset mode and did a complete wipe.
I'm not sure how deep of a tailspin this recovery can get you out of but there is definitely a safety net there.
I have to agree with the OP. I am very happy with my NT. It is very snappy and with the ability to sideload apps I have been able to fill in what I feel was missing. Battery life on this is very good. I did buy this hoping I could boot off an sd card, but if it ends up not possible I will still be pleased with my investment.

Thank you xboxexpert for all your hard work!
Step 1. Plug the device in to your computer and uninstall any drivers that may load.
Step 2. Download and update the Android SDK, including the USB Driver or try the PDANet drivers.
Step 3. Add the following line to adb_usb.ini found in your user directory in the .android folder (e.g. C:\Users\YourName\.android\):
Code:
0x109b
If the file does not exist, simply create it. This may require a reboot
Step 4. Load up ADB and check connectivity through the following command:
Code:
adb devices
Step 5. If everything reported correctly in the previous step, run Motochop.

Looks like you were one of the lucky few who were able to purchase this little gem early. Congrats on that. I picked mine up today and I must say that it is probably the best $150 I've spent in a very long time. It's the happiest I've been with a gadget purchase since scoring a BNIB 32GB HP TouchPad for $99 during the firesale. With that said, I hope to see more people coming to the forum with interest in the device. We can only speculate, but I would imagine this low-price and feature rich tablet will get the attention of at least a few developers and we'll get more info then. As for what I have been able to obtain, I'm stuck at the same roadblock as you. I'm bumping this thread for further interest.
I agree. Best spent $150 in a long while. Seems just as fast as my gs4.
Only cons are the screen and bulk, but for the price its a steal!!!
Hopefully it gets support for updates from hisense or the great xda devs start playing with this beast.
Root for this is needed, stat !!!
I'm thinking to sell my Nexus 7 16gb and get this since it has the hdmi and microsd slot.
I'm sure XDA guys will make this device a beast, right?
Will be interested in seeing is some deva pick this up as my main concern would be support.

I just picked one of these up on the way to work this morning. It is sitting on my desk charging as I am trying to get some work out of the way before I turn it on. I will be replacing a Kindle with this and just from eyeballing it my Kindle Seido case may be a perfect fit. I will test it tonight. It also appears that a Kindle screen protector will work for it as well. I would guess the Nexus 7 or other 7" protectors will work also, but I can use a ruler and verify the Kindle one since I already have that device.
Have you tried using the motochopper tool from djrbliss?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233852
I would start with trying the root exploits that work on the Nexus 7 (Similar chip set?) and Android 4.2.
I don't have this tablet, so I have not tested to see if this does in fact work.
Random question, since this is the only thread about the Sero 7 Pro I've found.
How are the speakers? I have a Kindle Fire HD and I am pondering about the switch...
Also, can this support 64GB microSDs?
Also, I've heard reports of flawed Sero Pros popping up.
Does anyone have any firsthand experiences with how this tablet's holding up?
Thanks in advance!

The speakers a actually pretty loud. I was watching movies on it last night and was satisfied with the sound.
I saw some random comments (in the comments section) on various articles about this tablet but they all seem to be written by the same person based on the writing style and content.
Mine is holding up great. No issues at all and is as enjoyable as using my galaxy s4 but with a bigger screen. I'm testing out the battery today to see how long she lasts. If she lasts me the whole day of heavy use, she's a keeper.

New owner here.
Did anyone else have to go to multiple stores only to deal with customer service that had no clue what you were looking for?
The first store I went to, they older guy was disgruntle I interrupted him, when I pressed him to do his job he couldn't spell Hisense.
Just picked up the Pro today, haven't opened it yet. As mentioned above, with the 15 days from Wally, I'll wait a bit to see if any devs pick it up. I have to say it does look like a terrific deal for the specs and if there is some XDA love for it, I'll give my GTab 2 to my wife.
I'll be searching this forum daily to see what shakes down.
@tharien,
First location I went to, walked in and went right to the display case, saw the Lite and Pro. Asked the nearest associate to open the case, checked out and left. Took less than 5 minutes.

Good to hear. I was also waiting to see if devs pick it up because I was looking for a tab for my wife and daughter. But don't want to hang them out with one that would be unsupported. Let us know how hdmi works as my wife would want that for work.

64GB microsdxc
I have a class 10 Sandisk 64GB microsdxc card in my sero 7 pro. It is not formatted as exFat since it came from a GS3 running a custom ROM.

I had to go to 2 different stores. The first store had a single 7 Pro Lite. The second store had 5-6 of both models.
I hope devs pick up this device too. Though I'll likely get one anyway...

As far as I know, this is a new Tablet. 7 inch Nvidia Terga3 1.3ghz quad core with 1gig of ram/8gb ROM. NFC, Bluetooth 3.0, 802.11a/b/g/n 2.4ghz and 5ghz, front and rear facing cameras, 5 and 2 megapixels respectively, GPS amd mini HDMI. Jelly Bean 4.2. It's a decent little tablet.
The trouble is getting it rooted. Recovery mode is attainable and I've only been able to pick up the serial number via ADB when attempting to update from ADB in recovery. Any other time, I get nothing. Any advice on how to proceed? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

How were you able to get feedback in recovery mode? I can't get ADB to see the device at all. I tried using the Nexu 7 ADB drivers as well as a raw set. I can only get Windows to see it, however that's an easy thing when forcing a driver.
I also tried fastboot - Windows sees it as the Nvidia tegra 3 Fastboot connection, so I'm starting to think we need the real driver from Hisense unless we can find a generic alternative.
Device Manager shows (! - M470BSA) and again under portable devices correctly as a media device.
The Vendor ID is 109B which comes back to Gemlight Computers Ltd which mfg USB for OEMs.
edit - Hisense does not have anything for this tablet on either their international site or their US site aside from a press kit.

I believe you're right about needing the ADB drivers from Hisense, hopefully over the next few days, it will materialize on their site. I guess they felt we needed to download their presskit instead of drivers or firmware.
Anyway, maybe it's worth trying Koush's Universal ADB drivers? Possibly one in the list will work with this.

No my friend, on YogaBook I didn't faced any Crash problems, by the way what do you mean by SP3?
Great to hear that there is another rom/OS that has at least partially works for our tablets! Seems like a perfect setup for the Yoga Book. I hope that the Phoenix developers will be able to sort some of those bugs!

Bugs? It works flawlessly on normal devices with standard x86 hardware. Except on the YogaBook due the lack of drivers and customized Kernel. I doubt the PhoenixOS Team cares about the YB with it's very specific hardware like the Halo Keyboard, Digitizer etc unique in the Android Segment... Lenovo didn't sell enough devices to get a significant market share...
If Lenovo doesn't provide it how will someone be able to implement them? And no, Lenovo will not release customization's, why else are they selling two different models?

Name one company which doesn't want to make money. You apparently never enjoyed the Support of companies like HP, DELL or ACER - Nightmare reinvented
Customers got the choice between the Android or Windows model. It's like Ferrari owners, they would like to drive a Lamborghini from time to time.
Yes I know the upcoming argument: but there are Dual-Boot devices!
Frankly I never understood it. Sharing a 64GB SSD with two OS'es and rebooting the device all day long just to get into the different apps... Maybe I just have another perception of productivity.

Phoenix won't. Take that for granted. YB has no significant market share. No other company uses Lenovo specific components (most obvious HALO, Anypen etc)...
I even risk to predict Phoenix will disappear like RemixOS. There is no market - no market no income.
Try Nox or KoPlayer if you really have an App which isn't available for Windows.

My friend, if you took a look about BIOS for yoga book you will see that its very basic From Insyde, they didnt chosen American Megatrends BIO, they completely locked the BIOS
and yes, Lenovo is very stupid company, before they releasing yogabook they say that they will put dualboot option on some devices,
Waiting for someone to use Pheonix in order to boot stock YB Android ROM.

Have you tried just booting the stock alone?
I have tried to install Phoenix OS on my Yoga Book Windows, and it did not work out:
1. When trying to boot in Phoenix OS, screen goes black with some white dots moving at left edge, I have left it for about 10 minutes and when came back screen was fully black and non responsive. Restarted couple times - same. Did not have patience to wait longer.
2. Halo keyboard does not work even for selecting what OS to boot. Windows boots by default after short time, and from there you can restart with target boot to Phoenix OS. This probably can be solved with USB keyboard, but not convenient.
Interestedly, keyboard does not work even in BIOS, only screen touch (I guess it acts as mouse clicks).
Install/uninstall of Phoenix OS were pretty easy. When booting into Windows after manipulations in BIOS with secure boot, it needs to reactivate Bitlocker, but that was also straightforward.

Open phoenixos installer and uninstall it then:
First You need to go to file Explorer /In Windows/
Then open c (or where you installed PhoenixOS)
Second you need to uninstall folder called PhoenixOS
