Omap850 Cameras/General Opal Questions - General Questions and Answers

Do all the Omap850 devices use the same physical camera?
The Opal uses the newer driver (HTCCamera1.dll) for cameras while the Herald uses the older driver (S5K3BAFX.dll) but they both have the same chipset (Omap850) and both have 1.9megapixel cameras. If the cameras are the same, can we use the Opal's driver on older Omap phones and get the ability to use the newer camera softwares?
Is the Opal nothing more than an Elfin with an updated set of software and drivers?
EDIT: Or does the Opal just use CameraDriver.dll and nothing else?

doubt it omap is just the cpu
it don't require or benefit from a single type of camera
anymore then an intel cpu in a pc benefit from having a
special brand of harddisk or webcam

True, but HTC is renown for reusing the same hardware with slightly different configurations. I was hoping this would be the case in this matter.

One word.... WOW I like it! .... alot!
phamoui, what is your source? None of the sites I have read mention OS as Windows Mobile 6.0.
Hrmm this seems to have pretty similar specs to the G-Smart 200, which is coincidentally being released at the same time, although the G-Smart seems to pack tv-capabilities into the mix. Personally I think the gigabyte one looks a hell of alot better but nice to see pda phones getting the powerful features they deserve.
Could not make out from the picture wheher or not it has a sliding keybooard. Any information on this?
Regards

[Q] Can i install WP7 in Dell Streak 7 tab?

Hi Guys,
I love WP7 UI and i though i can install WP7 in Dell Streak 7 please can you tell me is it possible or is their any other ways to get WP7 UI in android 3.2
No way to install WP7 on Dell Streak. Buy Windows Phone device.
In theory any device that has the minimum hardware requirements can run wp7 since there are drivers created to support it. Ive included the ms wp7 min hardware specs that I grabbed from wiki.
the dell has a nvidia tegra2 cpu so I doubt it would even run if you were able load wp7 nto it.
As for a metro ui launcher replacement for android they had versions out before wp7 came out officially.
here is a link to the market place of one of them
https://market.android.com/details?id=chrisman.android.home.metroui.stable&hl=en
Hope this helps I actually just got a d streak 7 wifi unit and am enjoying it.
I believe win8 is being tested on Nvidia tegra cpu/gpu by ms so hopefully when its launched we will be able to dual load it with droid.

[Q] Possible to install Windows Embedded 8/Windows RT on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5110?

Hi
I'm thinking about if it would be possible to put any ARM Version of Windows Embedded 8 / Embedded Compact 2013 / Windows RT on my Galaxy Tab 2. I love Android, but sometimes i want to try something new and I know even when it's Windows it won't run normal Windows x86 Applications.
...The specs of the OMAP4430 Chipset:
Processor:
TI’s OMAP4430 applications processor (dual ARM® Cortex™-A9 cores running at 1 GHz each)
Graphics Accelerator – PowerVR SGX540 3D hardware accelerator
Video Performance – 720p stereoscopic 3D
Multimedia Accelerator – IVA 3 (1080p encode/decode)
Imaging Performance – 20 MP/s and 5 MP/s (dual cameras)
Memory:
up to 1 GB LPDDR2 RAM
Other I/O
1x USB 2.0 High-Speed Host
1x OTG
1x ULPI for connectivity to an external USB Phy
4x UARTS / 1 x RS-232
3x I2C / 1x I2S / 2x SPI
Operating Systems – Linux, Windows Embedded Compact 7, Android-ready
The Device itself has following specs:
PLS TFT capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 800 x 1280 pixels, 10.1 inches (~149 ppi pixel density)
16 GB internal storage
1 GB LPDDR2 RAM
WiFi (can't find any infos about it)
I have access to Windows Embedded from Microsoft DreamSpark, but i think they're only the x86 versions. Are there any chances to get Windows running on this tablet or is this simply not possible because of the bootloader or other limitations (like partitions, drivers etc..)?
If Windows RT can run on an old HTC HD2, why not on a tablet with a bit better specifications? (yes, i know the HTC HD2 was a Windows Mobile Device :laugh:

There is no possible way to install any version of Windows on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2. Windows is not open-source and can not be manipulated in such a way so it can install on any Android based devices. If they were to open the source code, I'm sure within a week or two it would be available, but I'm afraid it's under the control of Microsoft for now.
Sorry..

Okay i understand
Then I'll have to keep this tablet with Android, but there are ARM-Versions of Ubuntu and other Linux Distributions, should be able to install this native to the flash storage without running android in foreground and connecting to the Linux using VNC, but the problem should be that i have to find drivers for every single device like WiFi, touchscreen, etc. :laugh:

ATI Imageon driver

Hello,
I removed the dust from my HTX athena, to improve the features of my Linux kernel. (ATI W228x experimental driver: https://github.com/echo31/athena, https://sourceforge.net/p/linuxhtcathena/wiki/Home/). Having no ATI Imageon datasheet (W228x), I am searching information on the GPU registers. I'm studying 'ace_ddi' and I'm looking for the header (structures&functions) of this module. With, ati3200.c from TCPMP, and qscreenahi_qws.cpp from QT(ahi), I had some defintions of data type/structure. Thanks for your help.

Casio IT-G500

Hi Android-Experts!
I am sure that I am not the first one looking for something like this but so far my search has come up with nothing...
We have a number of handheld devices - Casio IT-G500 to be precise - running Windows Embedded Compact 7. Obviously it makes little sense to develop (new) Windows Embedded Compact 7 applications these days. However, simply abandoning this perfectly good hardware, especially since a similar device (Honeywell CN51) has been provided with Android 6.0 Marshmallow by the manufacturer, would be such a waste.
So I would be very glad if anyone could point me to resources on how to flash (if possible) such a device with Android. Of course, I am aware that several features (such as the hardware barcode scanner) might prove to be insurmountable obstacles.
Thank you very much!
Casio IT-G500 provided with Android 6.0 Marshmallow by Honeywell:
ARM Cortex A9 Dual Core Prozessor (1,5 GHz)
4,3” Touch-Display (WVGA: 480 x 800 Pixel)
WLAN IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
Bluetooth
5 MP Camera
Microsoft Windows Embedded Compact 7
Honeywell CN51 specifications:
Texas Instruments 1.5 GHz OMAP 4470 dual core
4" Touch-Display (WVGA: 480 x 800 Pixel)
WLAN IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n
Bluetooth
5 MP Camera
