Porting linux drivers - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

I know its a sore topic but... how possible is it to port the display drivers from android to wince? My programming skills don't extend to driver development so im unsure as to what it would entail. I have seen many examples of linux drivers ported to win32 and they all seem to work fine, for example i use ext2ifs on a daily basis. I have even seen attempts that go the other way (eg. NTFS for linux). It can't be impossible. I seem to remember in a thread someone said that if they knew what registers were used to control the imageon then they could possibly create a driver. Im thinking that all of this information is somewhere in the linux kernel code - obviously its tailored for linux but the addresses and registers should surely be the same? I have been looking myself and there are a few interesting directories such as kernel/drivers/video/msm and arch/arm/mach-msm. Im currently trying to look through the code so i can put all the required .c and header files in one place. When its done, ill zip it and post it here.
Apologies if this has already been discussed but i couldn't find many responses (i did find someone asking the same question).
I also posted on another thread that i have been in touch with a company that holds some technical documentation for various Qualcomm chips. I am currently waiting to see if it is worth pursuing as it will cost me money and i would like to know that its gonna be useful before shelling out any cash.
The thread is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357885

Speaks for itself I think. I told them about all you geniuses here and invited them to check out the site. Hopefully something incredible will come of this...
i saw this a few days ago and it looks like it's going to be very interesting. i'm going to try it out because i hate having to use a stylus
Alot of what they are trying to accomplish has been done already via WAD and Mortscript.
Do not get your hopes up.
- You can not register in the forums since no activation mails are being sent out.
- If you report this to the only e-mail address I have found on the page you will get no reply.
- If you try to get in contact with the persons behind the project and the homepage you will get no reply
- No one is answering the comments made on the page
- No betaversions has been published as far as I understand it, only screenshots
This does not mean that I think that the whole thing is a scam or anything like that - just that for a project that is actively seeking betatesters they for sure are making it hard (impossible) for people to actually getting involved. Not to mention the fact how they handle bugreports for their own homepage.
I had no problems registering in the forums there, and the creators answered some technical questions yesterday. This project is very young, looks like it was only started this month. Give it some time, and if they decide to check this site out, I hope it can lead to a good thing and not have them be put off by scorn and doubt.
i had no problems registering either; i do not beleive it is a scam, they did not say they are going to charge people for the software/application.
Congrats! Inform the ones running the show then that many visitors have not been able to register since they do not reply to any e-mail or provide with any information as on why things are not working. And no, this is not just me - check the comments - there are a large number of people not being able to register.
And in my book - any project that does not respond to bugreports is in trouble.
Very awesome! I can't wait until its final release, thanks for sharing!

A few things I found...

Decided to take a crack (lol pun intended ) at a couple of things the other night, and stumbled across something interesting - HTC's internal bidding system.
And what I've found are parts that they are buying for whatever models of phones they're working on/thinking about working on. I saw parts for an HTC Touch Pro from 2005, parts from the HTC Magic from 2006, etc.. Well, I found parts, as of the other day, for the 'HTC Incredible', so, they must be working on it.
Also, I found reference to xda-developers.com inside of an actual bidding-slip for reference to the models that they had listed - I thought that was pretty damn cool.
I've highlighted different model names and such, and the reasoning I pointed out the Bahamas and the Memphis are so you can see that the models are not always only listed on the right-side of the screen, too.
Here are some screenshots for you all:

Found...well I didn't want to come right out and say that I brute forced it once I found a valid login.
How about I share the account?
How about you share me an rma account with cdma access and I will

Just wanted to bring this thread back up, because now the HTC Incredible is official, and is being released on Verizon.
I wonder what phones I could find info. on if I were to look now?
Just found some more models to wonder about.

[Q] What do you think windows 8 consumer beta will look like?

an ideas just reply?
Well, I got the developer preview a while ago. It looks almost exactly like Windows 7 mobile. (The live tiles, etc, etc, etc...) The only issue I had with it was that on a touch device it was epic, but on a KB/M interface it SUCKED. You had to use all these weird hotkeys to get anywhere useful and alot of the windows hotkeys that have been around forever just didn't work. Hopefully the consumer preview will be more KB/M friendly. Having been a geek since the early Windows 3.x days I found that in an attempt to make the new OS less frustrating for computer newbies, they made it more frustrating for us old-timers that are used to the traditional Windows GUI.
I do, however, like the new "Blue Screen Of Death".

You can cut it to a classic theme that works more like win7 if that's what you want... Also, that's windows phone 7.
It'll probably be like Vista ie ignored by business.
10-12 years time you'll probably have companies still trying to work out how to buy computers that can take W7, just as we have companies only buying specific PCs because there are XP drivers still available for them.
It is really
Windows 7 phone OS with a desktop app, it's slow, clunky, has tons of errors, and is only good for tablets(in my opinion) go to dev.windows.com and download and try it yourself
We already know what it'll look like.
Bloody awful!
No need to wonder - here's a screenshot.
no start menu so i'm wondering how much time it will take to get used to that...

So as many of you already know, Trim was something introduced in Android 4.3 that apparently made many devices quite a bit faster. Pardon my ignorance, but is this what I'm look at here on my tablet or is this something else?
That's video editing

Yeah, you're confusing the two. The "Trim" you're thinking of is also called "Discard", and it's a feature of the EXT4 filesystem for Linux that's used on our tablets to let the SSD know when it can internally reclaim blocks of Flash memory that Linux isn't using any longer, which helps the internal EMMC Flash device we have stay fast.
Fear not, it's turned on in our devices already.

Okay then, this thread turned up to be a flop, but I'm glad I learned something interesting out of it. Thank you.
No problem, glad I could help. But I had no idea that app was there, and it appears to be related to the Video Editor ("com.lifevibes.trimapp").
Good question, and your supposed "evidence" of TRIM was a great LOL , which is great. Don't feel stupid, there's a first time for everyone. But thanks for the LOL

Can anyone help me identify this? [SOLVED: FAKE GALAXY S6]

Hi.
So i got an s6 from eBay.
It's not reacting to my touch. (it is, but with insane delay and barely!)
Couldn't figure this out.
Suddenly or occurred to me that something is fishy since home screen should not be organized like this (this is AFTER full reset!)
(why would twitter be inside a folder named Google?)
Also looks to be non-stock.
Here's a pic.
Can anyone tell me what am I dealing with here?
Does not seem to be running the usual Samsung rom.
Was this device tinkered with?
Also see video here:

Thank you!

Is it a real S6?
Theres a thread in the General section about how to try and spot a fake S6.
that article mentions the fake ones are running droid 4.x, but thats not to say they haven't mucked with the version number on it.

Yes you got a copy of the galaxy s6. thats why its running so slow.
these fakers might as well build a phone with the effort they put into these!!!! it's insanely crafted!!! if software wasn't as ****ty - might have missed it!!
(one of them is actually quite snappy)

Since you bought off eBay. Did you pay via paypal?
Just lodge a claim against them for selling a fake item.
Make sure and screenshot the ebay listing as well
Yes I will definitely file a claim. Thank you.
Everyone else - BE WARNED!!!
My advice:
Turn off phone.
Press and hold power button + volume down button.
