Thats not correct... Android is running on Omap 850 devices and on vox too - google the words "wing-linux + sourceforge" and you'll get the files to run Android on vox - by the way there are already posts in the Linux boots on my Htc Vox! thread or especially this post
As you can see this are really old posts. Actually no one is working on vox anymore because this device is outdated, hardware is not well documented (reverse engineering needed) and the community is to small.

Boss... Thats corrects we can boot in to android on VOX or HTC S710 but dude there is alot of features that are not available.
No wifi
no network strength, Signals
Cam didnt work for me
Poor mapping of keys
no power off
many more..
@toasty,
Bro if you or some1 can give me a version of android with which i can atleast make calls and mapping of keys is gud enough ill be greatful.
i wud love to use android on my vox and i know there will be thousands like me.
try reopening this project... atleast to make some basic features work...
any possibility..?

sorry my phone is dead since more than a year - had been fallen down the stairs. And since i m not studying anymore my webspace and the files had also been gone. I can just point you to the post where I described what I have changed - there is also the changed sourcecode - and to the wing-linux project. Thats everything you need for a working linux (or android) with a usable (but not perfect) button mapping.
--> but you have to compile it by your own
--> How to is explained on sourceforge (wing-linux)

Thanks Toasty,
But My phone is still working or probably i am expecting it to work.
It is dead since a month as probably the flex cable has some problem so the display doesnt come.
I have given it for repair, and hope to get it soon
I am a computer graduate and working with an IT firm but have no clue abt android and programing this OS.
I would love to learn that. Any pointers how i can add on to this source will be a help.
A little guidance and some pointers from you might probably get some results.
Do share the setups i need and the simulators or configurations needed.
Also please confirm if we have any version of linix/android for VOX which can catch GSM network?
Thanks
Nitin

Just got the S730

I just bought the HTC S730 today
Where is the s730 forum here?
I have tried like a crazy person to get the 'built-in' gps to work, but i cant even find one satellite :-( Perhaps they have disabled it in the Rom...
Cant wait to hear from other users who have bought the final version of this phone and if they can get the gps to work..
Could you upload your HTC Home screen? I think a lot of users (including me ) are waiting here for this. Would you be so kind please?

As soon as I have time we will research it. If the hardware is really built in we will get it going some time (it *will* take time tho)
Got my S730 a few days ago. Loving it so far, except...
Couldn't find any satellites with Google Maps so the GPS does indeed appear to be disabled in the final ROM. I hope someone finds a "fix" for this soon. ;-)
Also, I can't get BlackBerry Connect 4.0.0.76 or 4.0.0.84 to connect RIM. My subscription is enabled (works fine on my BB Pearl) but I can't get a PIN on the S730. If anyone has managed to get this working, I'd love some help.
Cheers

I would be happy to. But i have no idea how to extract it from the phone?
Go to Application Data and the best is you copy the whole Home-Folder and upload it.
Here you go
Hope you can use it...
Can someone btw tell me how i can get more appointments to show in the HTC Home Screen?
Thank you very much! But not working on Vox, there are some missing files in system and plugin support.. I think the clsid is different from the Vox's one and it will be more difficult to make it work.. It only shows appointments I will do some researches
And your question - I tried to find it inside of xml, but not there.. HTC made a configurator to modify HTC home on PPC, so maybe for smartphones it also will appear.. I guess
GPS seems to be in HTC S730
I got my S730 today. Have tried with Efficasoft GPS Utilities for Smartphone v2.0 and Chartcross GPS Test Version 1.04. Both programs finds 0-1 satelliets, not enough for positioning, but there seems to be a GPS. But whay can't it identify enough of satellites?

Off course, if someone explains how to do it i will be happy to do it.
*If* the hardware is indeed enabled, you might want to extract drivers from a Kaiser rom. Whether the hardware is indeed present and enabled is hard to determine from the unclear statements in this thread...

Please explain how we can verify if the GPS hardware is present and enabled? I tested with Google Maps and adamwasta used a number of other tools, so what can we do to make it less unclear for you? Thanks.
HTC TYTN II ----or----- HTC s730
Can someone please help me decide between the HTC Tytn II OR the HTC S730? I am a heavy texter, sometimes check email, and want a fast phone. I'm worried that the HTC s730's keyboard is not comfortable -- can someone that uses it give me a heads up on how comfortable/good it is? Is the WM Smartphone's UI annoying? - i've been using pocket pc for a long time & I just want to know if its difficult to switch to a standard smartphone like the HTC s730? Thanks in advance for your feedback & comments - they are all much appreciated
Hmmm i havent tried yhe Tytn so i cant compare the two phones. But i had a Touch before i bought my S730 and i must that it was a step in the right direction text-typing-wise... The s730 is not as good to type on as an Nokia Communicator (imo the best phone for typing), but it's pretty good. And its great to have two options for typing : numeric with T9 and the qwerty inside...
About the smartphone ui....Grrrrrr it is a little bit annoying.. I hate that the settings are so locked. You have far few options in the settings compared to the PPC interface. But then on the other hand there are some features that works better on the smartphone than on the PDA.
All in all i am a very happy little piggy with my S730. I would not trade it for any other phone on the market.

I am also pretty happy with the S730... i used to have a vox and a wizard i must say I keep going to press the screen on the s730 because i was used to ppc but im sure it wont take long for me to get used to it..
one thing battery for me at least seems to be an issue.. fully charged at 7am this morning I had 1 bar left by 11am... Martin is your battery life the same?
the keyboard on the s730 is excellent very good i am already beginning to become a gun on it.. as for the kaiser my friend has one they are way too big for me i guess you need to ask yourself do you want a phone with pda features or a pda with phone features?
Brisbane_guy : I have not expirenced such lousy battery time as you describe. My battery last for about 2 days and i dont turn it off at night. So about 48 hours. But i have disabled BT and WIFI most of the time...
Many thanks Martin & Brisbane for your feedback I'm going to buy the s730 based on your positive feedback

You really should consider the Asus P750. It's only 130g, has 3g, gps (sirf3), wlan, bt2.0, touchscreen, WM6 Prof, 520MHz ARM, 256MB flash and 64MB ram.
On Modaco someone called it the kaiser killer.

How Can install Mobile 5 or 6 into a GPS?

I have a Navman S50. It comes with a very simple Windows CE version. I would like to install a version with more features like internet explorer, messenger etc. Can I install any of those mobile Rom versions into my GPS?
How? Any tutorial around?
Need I to make a backup from the ROM por posible warranty issues?
Thanks for advanced.
I´m asking for an imposible? Please, tell me something.
Sure...GPS, phone. They are all the same thing, right?
By the way, can anyone tell me how to load a ROM for my calculator so it can be a portable television?

I do not know if you are kidding, but I have heard about a guy who has Tv on his GPS. I hope I will can chat with him in next days. A friend saw it, and have internet and wifi.
My mother got a navigo satnav cheap from ebuyer, and I got tomtom and memory map running on it using instructions from this site: www.navsoon.org

You may be able to find a pda rom that would work with your Navman but not a smartphone rom because your Navman do not have the hardware that makes it behave like a phone. You could try a pda forum instead of trying to find help here. It would need to be a rom for a device that has the same specification as yours and even that may not work. It needs to use the same update method/bootloader at least!

i have tv, gps, and phone/data cababilities all on my xv8600 (Titan). So what? Why not just get a ppc6800 and be done with it?
i use it wil tomtom gps software, watch my home DVR/TV via slingbox software, use it to make/eceive calls with my blutooth headset, as well as send corporate and personal emails that sync up with my mail server....the xv6800 is the most powerful and expandable device on this entire forum, so just get one, and quit trying to ghetto-rig a GPS to make it what it cant be

Hello crobs808, I had a look to the ppc6800 at looks very nice, interesting the onboard keyboard. It´s an option but an extra investment I´m not sure if it´s worth. What I don´t like much are the 2.8" tft, seems quite small.
I´ll try to contact that guy that has his GPS working as a complete PDA. The good point it that the navman S50 has a 4.3" screen that seems more confortable to my eyes.

wovems, do you know any forum you would recomend? I think It will be no easy to find the correct forum. The doubt I have is; if the rom doesn´t work, could return it to the original? or is the risk of damaging it? That it´s the only important. If there is low risk, o no risk, can look for a rom, and try it, but if I would be on risk, so It wouldn´t worth to try nothing.
The Navman allows to intall some little programs on the Flash card, or the Storage card, but I couln´t find no internet browser that can be opened. Maybe the Windows Ce version is missing some dll files (have read something about), but I don´t know, and it´s dificult to find info about how to install that optional dlls.

just looking at specs, the kaiser seems wayyyy more powerful then the titan and seems like it can do a lot more as well. what does the titan have over the kaiser? and why did you point out just the verizon version, as far as i know they're all the same?

nah, no way...they have the same processor and all, but you cant get a CDMA version of the Kaiser, and EVDO/CDMA data rates are much faster than GSM model phones. I get 1600/800 on my verizon CDMA phone, so for that alone it's worth it...sure, if there was a CDMA Kaiser, then they might be on the same playing level, but I use about 8 email accounts with my phone, and need that speed to push/pull email all day long on all 8 accounts...cant be waiting.

Vibrate phone Until I read the SMS, hard to do?

Hi!
I'm looking for a program that basically vibrate my phone when I get a SMS from sender X (not from Y or anyone else). But also vibrate the phone until I read the SMS.
I have been googling my ass off to find a program that will allow this but can't find any. So I gave up and decided that I will try to do it myself.
I have done some intermediate coding in VB6/VB.Net, more than basic C++ and very basic Java. Never coded anything to mobilephones.
Is this possible to do? If so, how hard? Do you think I will be able to do it?
The program should work on HTC S740 (WM6 Standard)
this is pretty basic and if you follow this forum for info you will be able to do it.
you can also base your work (and maybe add to) "MissedCallReminder" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441593)... ask for the developer's help maybe..
vibrate use a lot of power
if you forgot or left it somewhere
your phone's batt would be flat in no time

Sounds good. But what do you mean that I can base my work on that since it's not open source? Or is it?
But MissedCallReminder seems good, just need some tweaking

Awesome G-sensor animated lock application

Can anyone port this to the HD2 ????????
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdbQAnPN4jU
wow this looks awesome !
Yet another toy... if you like this kind of fetish get an iPhone. It is the best in that area. Do not forget what PPC means.
You just can download it here: *CLICK*
Tried it and it does not work. Getting an error when I want to apply anything in settings...
Yes this looks great ,but how to download it? on developers site there is no download link ...
Ups got it
click on the title of the post.. then it will forward to the download
Hmm doesnt work.Error.....
This is what the site says about S'Skin Lock
S’Skin Lock Application has 1 setting menu to set locking time and screen backlight.
Currently they are working on Samsung Omnia only, I have tested them on HTC HD2 too but they aren’t running. If any of our readers got them to work on their devices let us know.
it's on
http://www.wmskins.com/blog/sskin-lock-new-animated-lockscreen-application-for-windows-mobiles
must have hardware detection inside, even on samsung it only work on certain model.
i would like to have that 2
i checked and it requires the flashlite_mmi.dll
it is available in Omnia2 dump OS.nb.
Dont know if it uses any more sensors from Omnia. I would like also to use this one on HD2. Any more advance ppl could help maybe?
Deleted.......
has anyone contacted the developers regarding a htc compatible version?
We can try to install the adobe flash lite 2.1. Now I can swtich on the setting button in the startMeun. But the srceen lock still can't run. >_<
NoNe said:
Whether I have sent an e-mail having asked there will be a support of other phones. I look forward to hearing. And program YellowMan, Butterfly I have started on the HD2 but G-sensor does not work in the program.
But the blocking picture is displayed also an unblocking works correctly. In Butterfly the butterfly flies at a touch to the screen as is shown in video, but the back background is static.

Which steps have u taken to make it work till now?
Maybe we could trick/hack the G-Sensor or smth.
I really don't see anything impressive in that. Actually useless to me. Just as a a guy at the begining of post said: Iphone like fetish... Nice, but useless.

Why can't we have something nice, even if it's useless?!
I completely understand: The iphone is a toy, the HD2 is a powerful device with endless productivity possibilities... But why does that have to mean that the opposite is also true - Only the iphone can have cool toys? Never understood that argument...

This would be a welcome change to me .
I can't contribute at development level but I will be cheering from the sidelines.
Hello again. Yes I'm using S4 version of One S. Next month I will start work at Ubuntu, I never used to compile anything but I think someone here can help. At the moment I am waiting for new notebook, after I'm going to other city for study so it's hard to save some of time.
