Just that question, thanks in advance.
No one?
I cannot belive that there is nobody who knows about this...
I've been app hunting since I got this phone... Haven't found anything like this. But I would like to try it myself However I'm sure it'd be a very ugly case of battery drain...
About that ugly powerdrain, yes you got a point. I even would like to try to write one app my own, but as it proved nearly impossible to get the sdk running on my one and only working computer - netbook with atom z520...
looks like my hardware is not enough, even the virtual device of the android sdk, won't start
Does anybody know any sdk for Android running native on the smartphone?

Well at least I have now some kind of virtual device running, but its nearly impossible to work with because it lacks installed live wallpaper and lags way much in time to be usable, is there maybe an open build server around?
I guess this question is wrong on this section therefore i only got one answer until now... somebody know a way to put this thread into android section?

I'm new to this, and I know this was discussed plenty times here.
But I still didn't find the answer and maybe things "updated"/changed.
Im asking for phone Samsung GT-S5600 Preston that I have. It is TouchWiz based phone and...you can't get any of those cool applications that are available for Android. For example I want to get the MarketEnabler on it so I could get some apps( I really want Astro File Manager so I could install .apk files on my phone).
There are just java things working on it. And also android system is much better.
And Samsung has already some Android phones. So is there any way to port Android(2.1?) on it and replace it with TouchWiz?
Any help is appriciated.
Thanks in advance
Sorry for double posting but this is sad. I mean this site seems pretty active, but this thread has 37 views and no replies, and already down on third page of the forum...Nobody?
Questions and Answers section forum is useless here really..Most of the threads dont even have one reply even if they have 500 views..sad.
There is a way I'm sure but honestly why not get a Samsung phone that already runs android and the market? Seems like a lot of unnecessary work.

Yeah you're right. But i'll have to have this phone for next 5 months, then I can buy a new one..And im so impatient I can't wait with this crap phone and untill that I want to find if there is any way to get anroid on it.
I got into some problems like that back when I was running the old xv6700. I hate the whole 1 or 2 year contract scheme.

Looking for testers for a future project that i am currently trying to work on. Hopes to support in the end a wide varity of the samsung devices but for now im looking for samsung tab owners galaxy s 4g owners and vibrant owners that wanna help people that have extra devices welcome just drop me a line....
What is this you ask...
Well since phones are now starting to catch up fast as far as speed and storage and ram and video capabilities of some of the lower end laptops i am going to currently start working on a Ubuntu verrant that will a custom Linux environment based of course off the phone or tabs hardware.
But why would anyone want to do this?
Well the reason for it sometimes its not 100 percent pheaseable to carry around a notebook net book and a few other devices and u may need access to a pc this may fit your bill.. That and It would just be intristing to have a actual linux client running on a phone
What are the goals of this?
get the linux kernel compiled with the drivers we need for audio video phone radio bluetooth keyboard and mouse support along with keeping support for all other phone related functions.
linux client that boots and lets you log into the the x windows interface and launch apps would be a great start thats the second goal
third will be to get the linux client to work not only with some of the applicatons on linux but also retain the phones ability to run the phones applicatons as well.
THe overall goal of this would be to be able to when you wanted hook your phone using the tv out capablity (supported devices) and use a Bluetooth keyboard mouse and printer and use it as a net book u could also surf the web type up emails and or documents some of which already can be done on some of the devices.. THis might also open up another avenue that we could use or devices for.
This is just a quick summery feel free to leave comments call me crazy or what not lol..
Sounds like a good plan

I don't think screens on the phones are big enough for it to be convenient enough for people to use an OS like Ubuntu easily. Tablets are another story, of course.

mostly everyone is going to be new to this lol or you talking about computer skills wise which i doubt it would take much since hes setting everything up..
well the idea behind it would be to odin a zimage with the core files on the sd card and have a script that would auto install the rom upon boot eg u odin rom phone boots says please wait while the os is installed go get some dinner whatever while it goes though it when u come back it would be up and running. LIke i said ultimatly i want it to work as a phone and a desktop. Well at least i got some intrest ill keep u posted on progress.
example would be when u used the usb tv out the phone could auto sense this and switch to what would account for desktop mode so you could use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to navigate and then when u unplug it the screen would switch to a more phone touch friendly enviroment. These are just ideas. Honestly not sure how this is going to work as far as a tab based device its prob alot easier and mb a vibrant phone cause of the large amounts of internal storage.
sg4g im stll trying to figure out how to work around this. Also to get kernels up and have them be more of a unitifed system so i could make one package that serves multi devices instead of x package for this y package for that it helps tremulously.
the goal is to keep this as tech newb friendly with keeping at least some decent functionality on it. SInce the os will setup and take care of video audio and what not the only think u would need really is bluetooth parings for the keyboard and mouse and a printer provided i can actually get this to work...
ill keep all intrested parties posted and when i get something to work with ill move to the android dev fourm for it.
http://phandroid.com/2009/05/27/what-if-ubuntu-could-run-android-applications-it-can/
as u can see they can get linux to run android apps heck theres even debin running on the g1 as far as linux goes. THe point of what i wanna do is make it a little more friendly and accessable without having to folllow 14 pages of directions and not to make the apps as a emulated portion but as a seemless intrgration.
Im interested. Very interested... Id be will to test when im not working and on the weekends.

Sounds like a crazy notion, but still well worthwhile. I like your way of thinking.
I'll see if i can get my hands on a second device, or get a well-discounted one for you to buy.
There might be some damn good money in this idea for you as well.

well im loooking on ebay for someones bricked phone as i havea riff box so i could more then likley unbrick the phone for testing purposes.
Well the problem isnt installing linux onto the phone as i have went though many fourms and stuch getting linux on the phone seems to be the easy part with some reading and knowing what to do and not do. The real hurtle is a genuine way to cross link the libraries. So instead of running the android software as a virtual app (taken from screenies) to more of a native app across both platforms.
Im not looking to make this a omg it will run every peace of linux software ever written as these are phones not laptops notebooks net books desktops. THe goal would be primarlly for business people and people that would say need a quick way to read though e mail check Facebook maybe play a game here or there ( more then likely not) and type up documents if needed. THere is alot more limitation more so on the memory side of the phone then the processer and gpu capabilities considering open gl 4.1 is fully compatibly with open gl es for cellphones actually getting a ogl desktop isnt a really hard hurtle to get past. Since it retains the useability for open gl es

Yeah, I would expect quite a few device limitations preventing you from the usual run-of-the-mill software.
I wish I knew anything about Linux to help you, but alas, I know nothing :|

Hi,
I recently purchased a generic brand Android phone. General specs are; Android 4.1.1, Dual Core 1GHz, RAM 256MB.
I'm brand new to the smartphone thing, and Android 4.1.1 on a generic device isn't helping my experience. Lots of 3rd party apps have been factory installed on it to the point of choking the RAM and making it nearly impossible to run more than 1-2 apps simultaneously.
I need to root this phone, like, badly.
I searched XDA Forums diligently and tried several suggestions, but nothing worked. I searched plenty of other forums too, but haven't received any kind of satisfactory solution.
The saddest thing is, this phone doesn't seem to have a Recovery option. I've pressed and held the Vol - and Power buttons together, nothing. I've pressed both Volume + and - and the Power buttons together, nothing. I've pressed all 3 buttons plus the Menu button, nothing. I even tried begging it. Nothing.
This phone doesn't have any USB drivers, so that I can use an Android SDK and the SuperUser app to root it.
I'm crazed beyond the point of recovery, because I seem to have purchased an Android that can't do anything it's meant to do.
This is the device description on the company's website;
gphonebd.com/index.php?action=product_details&no=114
Some internal hardware and software details;
Phone Name: G'phone
Model Number: D16-Eye
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: MTK6517 (Dual Core)
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #3
Software Version: G'phone-D16-Eye_D8_V1.2-20130424
Hardware Version: 1.1.0
Please help in finding a solution, anybody! :crying:
Thanks in advance, to whoever responds.....
Have you tried framaroot? I honestly don't think it'll work, but it's worth a shot.
Worse case, it'll tell you none of the exploits work, so you'll have to uninstall.

Thanks for your reply. Since posting my original thread, my phone has now gone on the blink. I connected my phone to my laptop via USB to transfer some photos and BANG! The screen goes white and shuts down. I tried rebooting, but the OS isn't loading anymore. I tried Recovery Mode, but it seems there isn't any recovery software installed in this thing.
I'm desperately searching for a solution to this, now......

YOu are gonna be hard pressed to find anything, and to be honest your gonna have trouble no matter what you do. Your device doesnt even meet the min requirments to run android. So it will lag and be barely usable.

Yeah, I know. But believe me, I've seen phones with much lower specs, RAM, Clock speed and so forth, comfortably run Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread). I guess the manufacturers of this phone shouldn't have put Jelly Bean on a device with these specs. I tried searching on the Forums here if there were minimum hardware requirements to run Jelly Bean, but haven't found anything informative enough.
Can you tell me, if you know, the minimum hardware requirements to run Jelly Bean 4.1.1? It would be a big help and guide for me, because I plan to replace the phone I currently own. I'll have to get it replaced from the dealers first (it's still under the device warranty) and once that's done, I'll put it up for sale. Then, I'll probably hunt around for a better phone. That's why it'd be a big help if you could give me a guide on minimum hardware requirements to run Jelly Bean.
Also, if it's not much trouble, could you tell me which would be better to run, Android 4.1.1 or Windows Phone 8? I mean, if you consider everything, such as prices, device range, apps, usability and durability.
Thanks so much for responding to my questions!
For the most part it is ok but if you search google for the requirments you will see that anything above GB needs a min of 512 mb of ram and then it still lags all over the place.
I am a developer at heart so Android is my choice but with all things considered I would look at windows phone. It is a good set of devices and is very easy to use.

Thanks so much for the reply! I guess for a smartphone noob like me, I'm probably much better off using Windows Phone. Android is way too complicated for me, I guess....
One final question, please. D'you think I should go for a Lumia device or one of those HTC's running Windows Phone 8? Is there one or two that you can recommend? Thanks again!

I heard the Lumia is a good device but IF i was to get a WP I would get an HTC as they have proven themselves to me over the years. I really cant say which one is better as I have never looked at a WP device.
Hi,
I know my Huawei is as old as the hills, however, I was wondering if anyone had an old Firefox 5 apk I could have?
I've searched everywhere and actually gotten the zip versions and the apk versions from Mozilla and guys I cannot be sure about, and none of them run, even though I've gotten several to install.
Also, I downloaded crying about my mod 7.2 and wondered if anyone could put it in for me?
I'd also like to dual boot with Linux, and move everything on the phones memory to my micro SD card, even if that means I have to buy another one.
DreamLinux has a version just for these cards, although I'm not sure everything will work, such as wifi.
Last I'd like to run the new Linux kernel that just came out.
And the lxde desktop or xfce.
I would love to run pure Debian, but I simply don't know how to configure it.
I do have a second phone, so no worries there.
I'll happily mail you this phone, or my Wildlife S and whatever else we're going to need to make this action happen.
Please advise!

adb won't load on older phones....
I just read that adb won't install on phones below android 4.0,
So how are guys getting cryanogenmod 7.x and Linux on ancient phones?
Is there a thread anyone can point me too?
I've searched pretty extensively ..I really don't get much. Perhaps I'm doing the search wrong?
Please advise.
Update:
Once your way computer in Abilene, Texas flashed in a new ROM, none of this was a big deal anymore.

Hi everyone,
Im new here so sorry if these questions seem a bit dumb but Im at a loss right now.
So I ordered this Hyundai (presumably) DVR, its fine and dandy all together for €120 but now if I want to use another DVR app instead of the one that comes with the thing they all crash. So I did a little research into all the menus and seems there is no camera system even installed (no idea how the app that comes with the thing even works without it) so my question is, is there a way to install somekind of an generic driver for the camera or just add some files into the system?
There are quite a few MTK files in the apps tab so I'm guessing it has something relevant to this discussion.
I know DVRs are not really the kind of things this site deals with but since its Android powered it was the best bet to ask here, maybe someone could help me out a little.
Any help is really highly appriciated! :fingers-crossed:
