I am not sure if these are the correct section to post this question, however, I would like to know if it is possible to run an adroid os on samsung blackjack.
The model is SGH-i607 running windows mobile. It was a cingular phone but it has been flashed to run for T-Mobile, if any of that is relevant.
If any further information is needed I will supply. Hopefully it is possible.
Thanks.
Possible, but highly unlikely. The phone isn't touchscreen and every android phone ever made is touchscreen... Lots of other problems too....

hey guys i just purchased the new samsung epix/blackjack3 from ebay. it was unlocked. phone is great. however, i noticed that the included firmware is windows 6.0. v been researching and i see that its suppose to be 6.1. i cant seem to find any firmwares for 6.1 for this phone. im looking for any 6.1 firmware for this phone at all, not looking for any hacked or whatno, just a firmware so i can get this phone to 6.1. it sucks to have such a high tech phone and not be able to use 3g or threaded messages and what not. if anyone can provide me with any information on where to get a stock 6.1 firmware for this phone, please let me know. thank you in advance.
bump anyone know? =/
Hope this helps. Not quite sure if it is exactly what you are looking for. Seems like you got scammed if the phone was advertised as i907, because it sounds like the i780 (it comes with wm6.0). Basically similar deviced with exception to wm version and battery.

Hi everybody,
I have been trying to catch up on the recent development in android porting.
Now, I am planning to get a new phone. Since my carrier does not sell the g1, I am wondering which would be the best working alterntive? Meaning which port would allow to use most/all feature of android?
I do need gps working now or in the near future to make this a viable alternative to me.
I have been looking at the ports of which I already know of, being the port to the vogue and to the diamond.
To my understanding (please correct me) the vogue lacks the gps hardware.
So the only device left is the diamond. Or are there any other phones which I have overseen, that sport gps, and a progressing/working port of android?
To sum it all up:
Which device gets the most attention by the dev community regarding the port of android to it?
Which one is at the moment the best working port (which device)?
Which phone poses to be the most promising device for a fully fledge port in the future?
I would be quite thankful, if anybody in the know, or even someone the porting community could give me some insight or even a proper roundup on my options here.
regards and thx for your help and insights in advance,
trial
Vogue has the GPS hardware, but AFAIK, GPS is far off for any Android port.
General Mobile is coming out with an alternative Android phone, it also has dual sim slots.

I'm waiting for this to come out and to see some reviews.
Check the Google Android developer page.
You can buy a developer version phone for $399
All you have to do is register as a developer which cost $25(I think).
Edit: Not really for porting to but you did mention you couldn't get a G1, so I'm assuming you're open to a native Android phone.
ok guys.
first of all, thx for your replies.
i am not really planning to get the real g1 (even the dev version), since i am not really satisfied with its hw.
i figured it'd be easier to get a used htc device off ebay, which would be capable of running android.
So, I'd be willing to wait - which device looks the most promising in running a full android port?
Is there any effort whatsoever on the gps for the vogue or any other device? Is it likely that it will work at all?
thx for your info again
Hi all,
I read through a few sites and the forum to research about my phone and i am looking to make it not so laggy/sluggish.
I am from Australia and is on Telstra network and my HTC Diamond2 is very sluggish and so laggy, it can barely function. Chance upon android articles and reading about rave reviews about how Android performs faster than Windows Mobile 6.5.
I have ZERO computer programming technical abilities. Just a chemist looking to fix her phone. So, this may sounds like requesting baby sitting service, but if anybody is kind enough, please direct me to the builds that are stable with Diamond2.
Google maps, text msging and bluetooth (which at the moment does not work) are very important functions to me, so I am looking for a build that have functions similar to these working well.
thanks so much in advance.
check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509493
there is currently no fully working android build on the TD2 as there are problems with the drivers, android is not a complete replacement for windows mobile tho as you need to boot android from the win mob enviroment, plus as a owner of a android and win mob device i prefer windows over android any day of the week, maybe you should try some system optimisation software like sk tools, pocket mechanic or tweeks 2k2 as they can all improve system stability also try a cooked rom from one of the great TD2 cooks here on xda as alot of them out perform the stock HTC roms
Thank you so much.
Yes, i am just looking to really optimise my phone as I am pretty much stuck with this phone unless I can afford a new handset straight out.
Again, thank you for the link. I have no great computing abilities but I like to DIY. Will definitely look around more.
Thanks so much again.
you're really asking a question that will result in an answer that you just won't like. Its basically not feasible to have android on your phone, and if it ever were to be somewhat available, it would not be stable and it would require significant tinkering and knowledge to have a half-ass working android Diamond2.
your phone is nice...there's definitely a way for you to sell it off locally and purchase an android phone.
This forum helped me immensely when I upgraded to WM 6.1 on my VX6800, and again when I wanted to unlock the GPS on the device, I'm hoping for that good luck again...
OK, for work I have to use this program that is only available in either Palm or WiMo. Currently I use the program on my VX6800. I'm getting the nexus as soon as it comes out for verizon. So, Instead of carrying around 2 devices at work I'm wondering, ideally I'd like to run a shell for this rather simple WM program. Is there anyway to do this? or any other options I have?
Sorry if this topic has been covered but I feel like I've read everything possible about this phone, and I haven't seen this covered. Paitently waiting, for 3/23 I think.
Nops
As of now it's not possible, android and am are two different os. So Nexus will not run wm softwares.
First let me introduce myself. The name is Darcy and I have been casually using linux and other *nix OS for about a decade. I am in school working on a programing degree ATM, and am a pretty quick study. Anyways, I without much research bought my wife a generic 7" tablet running android 1.6. I know what processor it has and Im hoping that leads me to a place to start. Ok so the device is a "Kasser Net'sGo" we didnt realize that its just a china pad with another companys name on it when we ordered it. So most of the apps dont run correctly, and in general the device sucks(on a software level the HW is fine although generic).
Anyways it apears that i can get into recovery mode to flash if i had no other choices. But since there are no official roms im hoping to find a build thats based on the same CPU or similar hardware to find a starting point. Its running the Marvell Aspen 800mhz chip and standard ddr2. Sadly thats all we have been able to find out about this device.
I have compiled custom builds for linux before, and i have now purchased a Gtab so i have a less garbage device to test some things on(i have allready flashed 2 different roms and fooled with a bunch of the settings). But we would realy like to do something with this other tablet. So if anyone can point me in the direction of some info on how to do android builds or a repository of chipset drivers and such that might help me that would be greatly appreciated.
