Anyone want to help me port a basic android (1.0 etc.) to the Mylo com-2? I've looked everywhere to see if anyone has completed this yet, but i haven't had any luck. If anyone knows anything about this or wants to help reply please!
I'm also porting it onto MYLO COM-2
To start you gotta find what version is best suited for mylo com-2 to be more exact you need to find a version of android to port that has similar hardware to mylo com-2 and of course edit the drivers,or you can compile it from source but then you will need to add your own drivers for the hardware of the mylo.
I'm working on to it (you gotta port every driver mylo hardware has to a specific version of android and test it) as i did the teardown of the mylo com-2 it will be quite difficult to port the drivers but i have mylo 2 disassembled and listed the hardware as shown below
You can help by compiling drivers for each hardwares using the source code (can be found on Sonys website) and using the mylo 2 table as shown above
Thanks

The chart doesnt seem to be showing on my computer.
I found the Source Codes through sony.
I was working on this as well. I think the big issue is going to getting access to the bootloader. I have been wondering if sony is using a jig stick or diagnostic boot mode for the mylo like the psp has. I have been trying to see if there is a way into some kind of bootloader menu but haven't found anything yet. I have also been looking at reverse engineering the update.bin files but to no avail. I do know quite a bit about the hardware onboard. I know it will support usb host.
Android on Mylo 2?
Hi,
I want to ask at what stage the project is located. I have the Mylo 2 and I am interested in having it on Android or other mobile system. If it is already possible on the Mylo 2 have the android or something else I'll be happy with instructions on how to get there.
Thank you for your reply.
Android on Mylo 2?
Is there anyone who can advise you on the question in the last post?
Zorbon, im not sure of the progress, people say they have hardware info, but i never see any.
Nelson, can i see the info you have on the hardware?
I think we should get this project moving.

Did anyone ever get anywhere with this?

I found an article that has info if yall need...

Hi Xda developers,
I might get involved in project during internship, where they want me to find way how to connect android device to custom made proprietary radio transmitter-receiver board without bluetooth or wifi, so it has to be direct wired connection.
This radio transmitter-receiver board has its own microchips and firmware so all low level work and functions will be done in this board alone.
Does anyone has idea how this could be done? is it possible to write some drivers (probably C) to communicate with this board over micro usb port present in all android devices? And than how could be data received over radio used in basic java-android application installed on device? (could this be done with use of a binary/text file as a link between these two programs?)
Thanks in advance
If nobody knows or has time to answer my questions, please give me some tips where to start searching for answers (websites, books, magazines .... )
Is it essential to learn Linux architecture properly before modifying anything in android?
I recently bought a ZiiO and at first look it seems like an excelent tablet for is price. But it get's me frustrated to be stuck on Android 2.2.1 version as well as stuck on Creatives' propritary updates.
At first glinpse on the device everything here looks like it has been developed according to the hardware. Not having market, not beeing able to mess around
Searching and researching on the web allowed me to root my device and install common software like the Market.
Then I realized that ZiiO's hardware is capable of supporting USB Host which sadly hasn't been enabled on the kernel that's compiled on the device. Looking at config.gz made me wonder why on the world would Creative do such a thing.
Has anyone been able to dump ZiiO's boot or kernel? I need to recompile the kernel to enable some flags. Has anyone gone through this expirence that can lead me on the right track?
Having such a variety of devices on the world makes me confuse on what should and could be done on this device.
Hello, I was just wondering if anyone had any tips. I'm converting my son's HP Mini 110-1012nr into a multi-Linux project just for fun. I have Ubuntu 12.10, Chromium OS and am attempting to add Android-X86. The problem is my son's wifi adapter: It's a Broadcom 4312 and does not play nice with Linux. I was successful with the Ubuntu and Chromium builds, but just can't get it set up on any x86 version of Android I can find. It helped that I could get the ethernet working in Ubuntu and program on USB before actually installing Chromium. Anybody have any tips? Builds? Pointers? Or if you would just like to discuss my project (which I am having fun with in my quest to move my family out of the Bill Gates dependency), then feel free. Thank you in advance.

Well it is going to be hard to get Android x86 working with a WIFI Adapter especially BCM4312
Anyways here you go.

You may have to remove specifics about Dell Lattitude XT and simply
use the script that download the driver from Broadcom web site and
patches the build system...
In-short, you have to compile your own Kernel to get it working
Thank you for the reply. I was thinking that too, but am hoping to avoid building my own. It might be fun to take on though. Your link is one I hadn't seen before. I know Broadcom released the drivers to a dev from dell (that's how I got Chromium to work). I am too new to post the link, but hit me up if anyone is interested. I'll find a way to get you the link.
The link that I gave should help you out without even having to Compile your own Kernel, bcz I did come across one such post
Hello all!
Firstly, I would like to thank many people for their inputs on this site. I have been viewing it for quite some time, so I finally created an account. I cant wait to get in the community!
Now, as for the reason for this post. I am trying to get my ALFA USB WiFi AWUS036NHA to work with my Tab 2 7.0. After doing some research I am with the understanding that I must write the drivers into the kernel. I have a decent understanding of how the kernel works with the hardware and software of the device (the theory of it, rather), but I do not know how to actually edit the kernel. I have done some software developing on Linux, Windows, iOS, and the PSP-1000 communities, but I did nothing with their kernels.
My question is, is there a pre-built kernel with the RALINK drivers? If so, I would love a link to that, but I am also interested in learning how to modify the kernel, for I am mainly a Linux/Android fanatic.
Any input would be appreciated,
Thanks!
Edit : Just for informational purposes, my tablet is on Cyanogenmod 4.2.2. The only thing on it are a BlackUbuntu image, and a Backtrack 5 image, which I boot through terminal.
Edit : I am currently setting up the Eclipse IDE on my Ubuntu system. I should be ready to go by morning. I have been reading references and studying source code for the better part of the day.

I am aware that there are threads about doing this with a 100k resistor or a 36k resistor on the ID pin. However, this requires kernel support for such a cable. Would it be possible to compile a kernel with support for this for the OPO? If a kernel dev sees this, I would be willing to help write it and/or guinea pig it for you, I do have some java / C++ experience, but none with android kernels.
I've the same issue.
For my Nexus 7 (Tilapia) there is an special build based on CM10, for other devices it seems to be working with an Y-adapter.
So I'm a little confused, it is more than only switching PIN4+5 with an 100k or 38.k resistance. Due to the USB specification it should work, others say that it is only an recommendation. In the end it depends if that option is implemented in the hardware, wright?
Can anybody give some more detailed information about that? That would be great..
Back to my device: What I will do is to compile my own ROM with modification of the USB. Until now I compiled the AOSP-source, flashed my device with all vendor drives in it (and the device is working as well ). Also I can do changes with Eclipse,
It there a link or a tip, where and what to change in the AOSP-source? I'll be totally satisfied with a very simple solution e.g. that the USB controller is switched to the 'being charged'-Mode all the time (unindependend of host/client mode)
Can somebody help / give tips / links or also book / tutorials to me?
Thanks in advanced!
