Mally2,
In the original post, there was already a reference to that PPCGeeks page. I have the same error and I'm looking for help as well. Any takers?
Thanks!

Is not a build for the Imagio

Android is not a special "thing" you just put anywhere and run, it has a kernel and is composed out of drivers and configurations, i'm pretty shure everething is out there but needs to be packed out together...
I'm a software developer but i have no experience compiling Android, my research is driving me to the HTC Lexikon (Merge) recently launched, this PDA hardware is very similar to the Imagio and it stock's Android so the work will be almost done and we won't need to start from "0", if you can help about please contact me..

Try this one

Try this one, this PDA holds almost the same hardware as the imagio, it deffinitely should work:

Post your results !!!

Has AnyOne tried his solution?
the lexikon is almost alike to the imagio
and if it doesnt work you can flash back.
So its a win win

i dont use whitestone.

It booted (i guess) !!

Hi, i am currently developing Android for the Imagio, i just startted the process and some tests, yesterday i was able to boot using a Topaz old testing kernel, but the screen was blank. I plan to compile a custom kernel for the Imagio.
I posted the Lexikon image but it wont work for the imagio because of the processor are different (Imagio= MSM7600) but i guess i could use some drivers from the Lexikon...
Wish me luck, i'm reading a lot to understand the kernel and Android
You can download the image i used here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/h9LTDTdp/droid_booted_imagiotar.html
And maybe, if you find the correct cmd_line arguments for HaRET you can get the screen to work properly

Glad someone is working on this. I'm right there with you! Make a thread on the imagio forum or pm me if you need testing.

MOTOCLIQ Question for MODS(NOT A ROM)

Ok so I just got my motocliq in the mail today and off course I love it... My question is since its based in the Android OS will we just use THIS forum or will another section be made? I figure u all just make an Andriod Thread and make Sub threads for all the different Andriod phones
I would hope not since this is a HTC forum

this is an HTC Forum, this particular section of the forum pertains to anything G1/Dream. It would be pretty pointless for us to include blur/cliq development in here, unless it is a port of that OS TO the G1/Dream.
That being said, im sure there are moto forums out there, you just gotta search. I wanna say it was Drizzy that mentioned though, that development on the Blur was going to be harder at first because of some new hardware/software stuff, not sure exactly what it was so dont quote me on that.
I'm assuming that there will be a Sub-Forum devoted to it, once development on it is completed.
Until then... well, I assume that nothing will be released.
bet yeah i know this is MAINLY an htc forum but at the same time you guys do have the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 forum on here lol just sayin
i wish XDA would be split into winmo android and symbian
nd then have the phones split after that screen, itd be alot better than having to scroll all the way down to find the G1

i'd vote for that.. esp now android is taking off alot of app related things are genral, and dev is very device specific.. so we could have like a genral and a devise specific section.
The Sony X1 is only up on this site because it was made by HTC for Sony... so u would have to find a dedicated Motorola development site to mod ur Cliq.
you have a point... lol but i still have my g1 so im not goin anywhere for a while... and im also about 2 get the hero for my sprint phone so ill be here
But were have Palm phone up here as well!

Can you do me a favor and grab the boot.img off of it?
From a terminal on the phone
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd1 of=/sdcard/boot.img bs=4096
Then transfer it to your pc so you can upload it here.
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/boot.img .
That would really be helpful for Blur development
ModMyMoto
I used to go to this site daily, til I got my Dream...ModMyMoto.
I am sure you will see a section for this phone there soon.

Well, HTC made some of the Palm phones that run WinMo also. All the phones listed on DES were made by HTC no matter what brand name u see on the front of them.
XDA not DES... stupid auto-correct

HTC Touch 2 : change the language, the OS...

I'm a brand new HTC user. I got an HTC Touch 2 (T3333) today for the half the price because the Windows Mobile OS installed is in Dutch; the seller told me that it was impossible to change but I knew for sure that it was. I mean, we are installing Android on toasters nowadays...
So it is possible, as I found out on this board (the "Mega - ROM - Hotfix - User Manual - roll-up thread" topic; I can't post links yet, sorry). I've downloaded the ROM and I'm waiting for rapidshare to allow me to download the manual...
While I wait, could you be so kind to tell me if an Android port was successful on that telephone ? If so, how well it is supported ?
If not, I'm open to any fix and tweaks topics that you can point me out in order to get the maximum out of my new phone. I'm already searching the board but I'm listening...
Thanks !

lol its not my work... its the teams work at Touch2 / Mega section. You can check out my rom that im currently building its WM 6.5.5 os but still in working progress..
Well, thank you for spreading the good news then...
I will dive into the subject tonight.
Hmmm...I tried upgrade with a French ROM but I can't, I get the 294 error. It wasn't that easy. I tried changing the settings in the Systems menu but that didn't work obviously.
Am I missing something here ?
Okay, I'm very sorry : my browser didn't loaded the board well on my first visit and I only discovered the HTC Touch 2 Mega section now.
I will ask my question over there...

[Q]

I have the t-mobile g1, android 2.2.1 and i am interested are there any flash player apks that still work on this device, because i have downloaded several apk files from variuos sources, wich according to the comments worked for people. for me they either do not install or they install and can not be opened, don't work etc. maybe somebody knows what might be the issue or sources that can still provide a working flash player file?

help is always welcome.
froyo source code is on photon page: http://code.google.com/p/photon-android/source/checkout
for gingerbeard source code, contact munjeni.
you need to checkout code on your computer.
you need to setup a compilation environment for linux kernel compilation (ubuntu 10 for ex)
use adb to get debug messages ("adb shell dmesg" for kernel log messages, "adb logcat -d" for android log messages)
tell us if you need help
Thanks a lot I'll do some test. If I need help let you know.

[Q] I want to build CyanogenMod 10 for my Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 myself. Help!

Okay so I've bought a samsung galaxy chat B5330 device back in feb'2013. Don't ask me why cause I conciously bought it. So I realised after searching for 6 months that there is no interest of developers in this device. so I have taken up the initiative to 1) Build CM 10, 2) Port CWM, 3) Root the device myself. However I don't have much idea about building android. I've rooted and flashed Custom recovery n ROMs to my dad's phone before and I'm a geek so I learn things quickly about computers n phones. So I'm nor a complete newbie neither a Master developer. Therefore I need help of those devlopers who will be kind enough not to discourage me. Anyone can root a device which is more popular because it gets vulnarable too quickly so there is no point in telling me that "you should have bought a device which has developer support". I am interested to be a developer myself n that challenge is really so tempting to me. So here are my questions which I don't have exact idea about.
1) I have a computer of the config -> AMD fx 6100 hexacore buldozer 3.3 GHz/4 GB RAM/500 GB HDD/Windows7(32) & Ubnuntu 13.04(64). Can I do the job of building roms from the source with this config in the first place?
2) Does galaxy chat B5330 support 'fastboot'? if yes then How can I boot into fastboot mode? I've tried with adb 'reboot-bootloader' but the device just restarted normally. So I don't know How can I get into the fastboot mode?
3) CM developers are really kind enough that they have put alot effort into making the wiki. I've got precious informations about building android from source and all. But I have a confusion. There was mentioned fastboot is necessery for building CM. So if my phone does not have fastboot should it mean that I can't build CM for my device at all?
4) How much data do I have to download? Do I need to be connected to the internet always while editing local file? n If I use 'repo sync' to update the code always won't my editings get overwritten by stock code again?
so these are few basic questions I have for now. I know I might not get any response at all. But there's no harm in trying. thanks

The best way to start is to use another Rom as base (get permission first) then start tweaking it with scripts, apps and build.prop tweaks. Once you start to get familiar with the basics, start experimenting with different tweaks. Since you are going to create a Cyanogenmod 10 Rom from scratch, I give you best of luck and hope many people will use it!
FINALLY!
