I would like to help you...

Ahhh, I'll give it a go as well, send me the info and the gear..at [email protected]

the Ophone SDK is openly avaliable to the public.
http://www.oms-sdn.com/
good luck with the porting!!

Quick status update.. Im Guessing this is harder than i imagined, if anyone could give me a pointer to how to make a system.img from sdk i would appreciate it, then it would be done no maps or market yet, but once i have the system.img on my g1 i can see what files need placing on or modifying to put google apps on, im sure its not impossible, im lucking forward to getting this workin.. the g1s capable of running this.. the only thing worrying me is that im guessing its gonna need the new SPL seeing as its apps are bigger than hero.. Anyway, Promise by tomorro i will have figured out how to make a system.img and ill post it up on here

I'm working on it since saturday evening and now i'm really stuck. Do you wanna to share clues? My ICQ/AIM: 278-783-808 or jabber: [email protected] or yahoo: [email protected]

haykuro said he had it ported to his G1 but he never released a public one.

I know he did, that is why I want to port it by Myself. By the way, i have some really testing version here. It looks like it's trying to boot but there are some issues with Audio and Graphics. Trying to get it working. Please provide some support

its apps are bigger than hero

My hdd has gone on me just now! arrrgh (Posting from dads laptop, sadly it runs winblows )!, One thing i did notice however is that its a very big OS, the whole thing is bigger than Hero, so maybe taking out some of the Chinese widgets like the one on the 1st page which i have no idea what it does but im shure that takes up alot of space so.. And dont replace it with hero one.. Thats still rather big, get the image working 1st before trying to PIMP it out

If anyone wants to share there update script from ophone let me know i have a build almost complete, just missing the script.

No, It is NOT actually bigger than Hero. I'm working on it, follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3960559#post3960559

Will anyone be able to use it? Does the SDK include an english version or is all the writing in chinese?

Hmmm, Maybe i've done something wrong then.. Mines coming out at around 80mb :S, I got the feeeling thats why mine dint work at all lol, Ill start from scratch, Im not really getting anywhere fast when my laptops kinda bugged up

Yes it is also in english (it's default language) but there are some chinese trash i suppose.
EDIT: Again link to my thread where I have very first beta. I need to solve probs with Audio and Video http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=526436

I think im going to put up a link in 1st post to your thread That way they can try your beta if they come here, seeing as am not getting nowhere on this

We can work as group. I have some friends who are helping me with some linux in it but I'm the only one who is doing android stuff so you can help me and they will help us with linux sphere

I gotta say this...

I have been a loyal HTC owner since 07 and a member here since 08 (i believe, lol). As you all can see I rarely post anything. I do however have a good reason... Everybody says search before you ask. So i did and always find the answer, every time. Sometimes it takes a bit of work but I find the answer.
It is just now that I started posting because I believe I graduated from super Noob to quasi Noob. I have flashed, installed, bricked, recovered bricked, and tweeked all my phones and finely believe that I have something to contribute.
Anyways I started this thread to simply say Thank You...
Thank you to all the members, moderators, developers, cooks, and everybody else. It is because of everybody here that we are able to take cutting edge and bend it to out will. It is because of you all that we are able to reflect who we are though electronic style, much like a hot rod designer or fashion designer.
Again THANK YOU and keep it up!!!

x2 from another quasi-noob (Though I have not bricked a phone...)
You are right though. Just put a little effort into searching and you will find the answer.
Now on to the serious question... How do I install Android on my hd2?

Hay... it was my first flash ever and something went wrong, LOL. I recovered it. I guess that does not count at bricking does it???
The easy way? Drop t-mobile and get sprint with an EVO or Verizon with the incredible. Other then that... Or, gotta wait till some super phone Einstein dude\dudet takes the core of the android port for the TP2 and adapts its to the HD2. Least I think it can happen like that.
Huh? It just occurred to me we have the same... issue. I want the EVO but DO NOT like android. I use my phone for business. I own my own repo company and I'm always working with PDF's, word, excel, e-mail, ect. I know android does SOME of these but I need all of them no questions asked. It should be a choice. I think when you buy a smart phone (especially HTC) you should have the choice of android or WM. Don't cha think? However, I guess that's like asking for you cake and eating it too.

Yes thank you all here, i've spent hours reading through posts and helping myself to many great roms and addons.

I was just kidding about installing Android on my hd2. I actually like WinMo quite a bit. I guess sarcasm doesnt translate to text well.

Lol... I've had many of those. There are loads of Android on hd2 threads in the T-Mo hd2 section. It cracks me up, there is a new one everyday.

Pb00img. Flash to 2.1?

Hello, I'm currently running a Sense based ROM on my Eris and have a friend who wants 2.1 on their MyTouch 3G.
Can I just put the image on the root of the SD (just like my Eris)? Or should I ROOT and if I do is there any decent SENSE based ROM's ?
Sent from my Eris using XDA App

Lol yeah, go ahead brick that magic
On the other hand, you could instal Smoki or capychimp's ROM which are both based on the Rogers 2.1 OTA.

Here is my advice:
Don't do anything with your friends phone.
Refer him to this site and have him learn for himself.
I suggest this for several reasons:
Liability reasons.
If something was to go horribly wrong you would need to buy your friend a new phone and let's not forget that you would feel like crap for messing it up.
Give a fish vs Teach to fish.
It's better to give your friend the resources in case there is a rom update or anything else that he may want to change.
Cut out the middle man (you).
If he starts to have issues or questions then he's going to refer to you to answer them. What do you really know about his phone? Nothing! He knows more than you do! So he asks you a question, you look it up here... post a question about his phone without giving enough information... then you have to ask him... then you post the response back on here..... etc, etc. Just let your friend do it all. Much easier and saves you a headache.
My two cents.

binary, you always tempt me to make a whole thread and ask, what is a phone? hehe

# 1 [Q] LG g2x 2.3.3 HELP CHANGE to 2.3.7 or better for battery
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, I'm new and pretty dumb about smartphones but I'm very motivated and excited to have found "you guys". I like what you guys believe in
"P.S. A little bit more about us. XDA-Developers was founded on the simple principal that SHARING IS GOOD and when many people SHARE what they know, EVERYONE benefits. We exist upon this Ethos, we RESPECT each other, we SHARE with each other, we do not judge one another and we HELP all who ask. We believe that while some may have more knowledge than another, none are more important."
I will show every member that I'm humble and grateful for any help that comes my way. I promise to ALL MEMBERS that I will be a "GOOD" member and give back to the site at every opportunity.
I bought a g2x used with 2.3.3 and I love it except the battery life. I heard that if I downloaded the 2.3.7 the battery problem would go away. My problem is that I know nothing about this type of "stuff" but I'm VERY excited about learning and starting new and TRUE relationships with other members. PLEASE HELP me get this LG g2x straightened out.: I need to learn how to re-root this phone. I have to make4 sure that I don't harm what good I already have. If I can't get better battery life from this phone I will have wasted $250. I just finished "fighting" Lymphoma cancer and I can't afford to throw away money, especially in these amounts. Please help me and get to know me and I the same with you.
Thank You, Sincerely, Cgarland

Hello sir. All you have to do NVFlash CWM and you're all set to flash a ROM.
Follow this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy9on64jAZs
Just the part where you do the NVFLash. Once that's done upgrade CWM to the latest version, you can find that in the dev section.
Then you just simply DL CM7, wipe your phone then flash your desired ROM.
I didn't really go into details in case you're already familiar with CWM and flashing, that's just a gist of it. But if you need more help and have no idea what flashing and CWM is then let me know.

GREAT to hear from you.
Howd ya know? I have no idea what CWM or flashing is! I want to thank you for writing back to me. I'm MORE than excited about talking with the members of this site. I'm having dental work done at the University of Washington school of dentistry and I have to go to bed since I have to get up at 6:30 in order to make it to Seattle from Olympia by 9:30. I hope tomorrow we can continue to talk about these and other issues with these type of devices? Thank You....who are you? I want to learn how to attach a video to my post like you did for me. You have no idea how excited I'm about this site and talking with you guys. The member that just answered my question is totally freaking me out with the knowledge that you have about my phone. What I think your saying is that I need to get a cord that goes from my power outlet on my phone to a usb plug on my computer? Please explain, in detail, what you mean when you say " All you have to do NVFlash CWM and you're all set to flash a ROM." Is that where I empty my phone and then re-load with an updated version? Do I have to protect my phone? Did this phone come with 2.2.3? What do the numbers mean? I hope I can help you with something in return? Thank you VERY MUCH Sir. I look forward to talking with you tomorrow...cgarland

Is this g2x a good phone if I can get the battery to last at least one full day? I like the phone and all that I've read about it (except the bad) but it is my first smartphone. Seriously mackster248 I want to keep this phone. Can I make this phone work properly so I will be happy with it? Will the battery life improve with updates? What is "ROM: CM7 or MIUI" I'm not kidding, there is a guy on Craigslist that did exactly the same thing to his g2x, that is he has CM7 and MIUI on his g2x. Here is his post. What do you think mackster248?
Title says it all, unlocked for any GSM carrier and rooted with cyanogen mod 7 and flashed with a cool MIUI rom making it faster and better looking than ever.
Will come with HDMI cable, black hard rubber case, 2 chargers and original box. 9/10 condition front and back it had a screen protector on but I recently took it off because it made the phone look like crap. It has a CLEAN front now.
MOSTLY LOOKING FOR TRADES but $275 cash nothing more nothing less is good. Looking for an iPhone 4 unlocked I dont care how many gbs just has to be unlocked, same condition, with charger at least.
Looking for:
Iphone 3gs 16/32 gb unlocked and jailbroken w/ accessories and some cash on your side.
LG thrill unlocked
Iphone 4 unlocked
HTC sensation
All offers are considered just shoot me what phone you have.
206 four53 eight713 will send pics through text!
Teach me what it is you both are talking about mackster....PLEASE! See that where he say's what you said?
Thank You, cgarland

i have a problem as host's, it's very helpful, thanks

Well CWM is a recovery that's needed to flash custom ROMs. You need to follow that video to install CWM via NVFlash. Just do that portion first then I can help you with the rest.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Cwm is clockwork mod recovery.. it is a modified recovery that allows any rom to be flashed to your phone.
Recovery is a utility built into the phone that lets you do various tasks like install different modified versions of android reset your phone to a "new" state... deleting all the data on it (except android itself)
To flash a rom means to install it...
Cm7 is cyanogen mod 7 which is a "team" created rom that has a lot of added features that the stock Android does not have check out cyanogenmod.com for more details...
Miui is pronounced my U I and is another "team" created version of android that very much changes the look and feel of android...
As far as everything else... browse the development section and just read... that's the easiest and best way to learn
As far as battery life... there are a few roms that improve battery life... but there is no miracle solution. It's just a sacrifice that is made in liu of speed and performance... what I mean is... a dual core 1ghz processor uses battery... ya know
Also... if you need help try and post in the right section ... general or q&a ... don't ask questions in the development section .. for some reason a lot of people have a huge stick up their rear and rather than being helpful... they just get all rude and tell you that you are posting in the wrong section and are rude...

Just got out of the hospital and good to hear from you mackster248 What a cool name "mackster248" I will do what you say mackster248 and get back to you....THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!

renocivik THANK YOU so much for your reply! I just got out of the hospital and saw your reply for me. I will read your information and do exactly as you say and get back to you ASAP with my results. Is this a good phone renocivik? I see where you talk about battery life, what should I do? I need to get some rest before I write anymore stuff here. I will talk to you guys soon. Thanks for everything and will get back to you tomorrow.....cg

What are you saying? I truly don't understand what your trying to tell me. Would you please explain cfj521 ? Thank You cgarland

I think I can put flashing and cwm into simpler terms for you.
The word "flashing," in this case would mean downloading and installing a new ROM to your phone.
A ROM in this case, is simply a developer made android system that they make for the better and enjoyability of your phone.
CWM is an abbreviation for "Clock work mod recovery."
CWM was made for you to make adjustments to your phone, and install new software, ROMs much easier.
This system will be the head quarters of making adjustments to your phone.
-------------------------
Now, about getting NvFlash onto your device.
NvFlasher is, I believe, also a developer made program specific to our Nvidia Tegra devices. And also does make installing CWM much easier.
(Nvidia Tegra 2 is the processor for our G2x)
There is a section around here that explains to you how to use NvFlash for your G2x.
Which, I believe will be in the Android Development section in our G2x forums. Probably at the tippy top in a sticky forum (Highlighted forum).
The instructions may be a bit hard to following, but hang in there and just follow the instructions for NvFlash, refrain from stuff that isn't for now.
I hope I enlightened you a little bit on what we all talk about around here.

[Q] I broke it!!! I think?

total noob and i need help.... here is my problem... I unlocked my new infuse and then rooted the phone. everything was fine fo several hours and all of the sudden it started vibrating and would reset with out turning all the way off. the android drop screen does not function. everytime you try to pull it down it starts the above issue. if a text comes thru it does it again. i did a factory reset and this didnt help. i still have superuser on the phone but cant seem to get phone to function it has power and works to an extent. you can tap apps and go thru most of the phone but it will reset and go back to main screen and vibrate and start process all over.... any ideas. i am a noob and not very technical, prob why my phone is f'ed up right now. using my samsung captivate for now. please help the new guy. i looked for threads with similar issues but found nothing with search bar. thanks ahead of time

I'm not familiar with unlocking...i do know if I'm not mistake you have to root first then unlock....but that should not effect your phone...but phones are so different....even though we all have the same model....
I would reload stock and re root....then re unlock....ate you runnning stock or custom rom?

thanks

Why yes glad you asked...check my signature...for the iset page....
You will find a **** ton of info....since your somewhat new...do a lil reading....ok ....do a lot...
Look for the one click methods by qkster....although the new odin links are great also....your choice....
And any questions the op for those threads can provide you with great help and you can pm me also...
And don't forget to thank the op dev that provided you with what you need...kk

In that case I like to suggest you to unbrick the cellphone (restore again to FROYO) and test the cellphone... If you do it, you will loose the root, however the unlock will remains
You can re-root the cellphone later... the issue could be also being caused by an app that you had installed
*** If your cellphone is from AT&T you can use the GTG's Ultimate Unbrick tool, to go back to FROYO
Remember that you must have ODIN to unbrick the cellphone..
Some helpfull links:

GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock - For AT&T

thanks!!!
Thanks for the info bigjoe2675 & dantespec...well I feel real stupid now... I looked over all that info and its way above my head. is there anyone I can send my phone to that does this type of work and is trustworthy enough not to steal my phone? i have already trashed it once I dont want a $230 paper weight. I also have a Sprint galaxy s2 epic i would like to have flashed to verizon. i have no clue what I am doing and willing to pay to fix my two phones. mine and the ol ball and chains.

If you can not figure out how to go back to stock, then i know mobiletechvideos. They got my old infuse running again when the usb port got borked. If you need a link ask me, idk were the link is lol. Trust me though, it worked well. Only thing is it costs money. Better off to learn how to do it unless if hardware is actually broken, not software.
Btw you may want to learn how to unbrick and learn your basics before you attempt at doing something like this again. Just making a very logical suggestion.

For sure check out the Odin videos... I have a feeling that they are going to come in handy a few times..
Everyone has to start somewhere and we all had to learn, I was really overwhelmed when I first started looking into it, but then it was like "oh! That's it?"
Most people here are super helpful (I'm not... I'm a n00b) but don't be mailing your phones to someone you don't know or anything like that... you're begging for someone to rob ya..
Just take it slow and read, read, read... when you have read enough to have a handle on it.. read some more!

Awesome brother!
Welcome to the addiction!
It is so interesting to me what can be done with minor and major changes how simple things make HUGE differences.
Next thing you know, you will be grinding out apktool changes and making themes!
