no hope
sorry for every one...
Dang, those look pretty special.. I wouldnt want to risk bricking one trying to upgrade the version of android; they might not even be compatible at all.

HaHa,you neednt to worry about that,cause the system of this handset is much older than ones available for G1,the machine is a very very old man ^_^，using a very very old version of Android.
SO NO NEED TO TAKE THE RISK..
Im not that technical when it comes to this, but can the hardware even handle Android?
Forget upgrading them,DUMP THEM. I'd like to see how well the "proto-android" firmware would work on the g1.....once ported of course. And where did you find these? I'd like to try to get my hands on one.
I'm not sure if these can even handle full-blown android - they have 200mhz processors for crying out loud! That said, demos show they are blazing fast (even faster than ours around the ui!) but since these were never put into full production, I doubt you can update it easily...
Good to see you have found 2 gems there... thinking of selling them? =P
dam those are some great prototype android devices, you must keep one stock default, very rare, quite valuable i think. especially the white one.
Woha, prototype devices!

A friend give these to me
HaHa they are using a OS based on a very early SDK,I do have the img of the system,just dont know how to flash it because the fastboot and recovery is really different from G1 or G2,to avoid brick it,I would like to find some useful guide...
thx any way....

Can you provide any pics of the recovery menus? If we are able to dump,we may be able to flash....but I heard these have lower specs than the g1.....so it wouldn't be practical to flash g1 firmware onto these protypes....

MMM~~~I will post some pics later.
What I want isnt flashing G1's ROM in onto them but ROMs from themselves and moded to fix the wlan's problem,cause their wifi cannot work properly yet.
the problem is that there's no source, so we can't really backport a wifi driver for the older kernel (does it even have wifi radio?)
For those who want with old android builds (don't know why though) go here:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/older_releases.html
download the older sdks (betas and pre-betas), they all come with emulators, you should be able to (using their tools folder) dump the system from them (or unyaff's the system included). Again there's really not much there
i doubt that you will be able to flash anything from g1 on this phone, as its screen obviously is a different res

My friend said that he had one with wifi，can I dump something from it and push it to my EXCA300？
And what steps should I take？
The URL you mentioned,which I had explored early in the morning,includes bulks of SDKs,and through the wiki I have posted before,I knew some SDKs available for EXCA300 then downloaded some versions.They are:
android-sdk_m5-rc15_windows.zip
android-sdk_m5-rc14_windows.zip
android_sdk_windows_m3-rc22a.zip
android_sdk_windows_m3-rc37a.zip
I need more information about the recovery and HBOOT...
Thanks a lot for your warm advice！

Not really. Stanford SUSE has a ton of these. Supposedly bought them in bulk on the cheap. I had a hold of one for a while a few months ago trying to see if it would be worth the time to get production Android (then 1.1) onto it. It was pretty much a lost cause without support from HTC.

Hey guys,
since we know that full flash 10.1 won't work on our devices (or its an disproportionate act to port it, because its not open source and due to the fact that flash 10.1 is not meant g1's processor).
But what about flash lite (which we know is working on g1 from the sense ROMs)? I read that the froyo browser does accept plugins (well he accepts the flash 10.1 on capable phones).
So did someone tried to port it? I know this is not the major thing on froyo, its hard enough to get the rest working properly (and i really thank those devs for spending so much time on it!!!). Many people would love to see at least flash lite on our devices. And in my humble opinion little flash animations worked fine for me on the sense roms with flash lite.
I tried to install the flash lite apk on the froyo roms availlable ... but it returned only fc's for me in browser. By now i am not running froyo but i will put some rom on and try to get a logcat on it.
Greetings
Crazy Idea: Why not make a port of an open source flashplayer (like lightspark) to ARM hardware?

MUCH MUCH BETTER idea. Certainly not impossible. In fact VERY POSSIBLE.
There are a few issues to work through in it though, certain dependencies on things like PULSEAUDIO, which we don't have on android (but would be nice if we did...)
There are actually THREE open source flash projects to work from.... gnash, swfdec, and lightspark. The first two are based on reverse engineering and tend to work. lightspark is from SPEC, is much NEWER, and really doesn't work yet. Lightspark is the best FOUNDATION, but is behind in FUNCTION.
Note: flash is a bad idea no matter how you look at it. You don't need it, it doesn't do anything USEFUL, I suggest just ignoring it. PURIFY! Let flash DIE!

Yeah, HTML5 FTW!
Now that iCrap officially banned flash many sites will at least alternatively offer html5 support, because otherwise the iPhonies cry.
Most of the flash content is unwanted commercials anyway. I would hate going on some site and swoop away 5MB of my data plan (which gets downgraded to gprs speed if I get above 200MB/month) with some nagging commercial video... (€: OK, this could also happen with html5... would hate it anyway)
well i know that if flash lite could be rid of its dependency on sense it would work. it has the correct settings to work . it has 2 different ways to enable flash while the flash 10.1 has only one of those. you would have to check the 2.1 port of 10.1 to understand what im talking bout. it might also need to be built on 2.1 or 2.2.

youre right ^^ the dependency of sense is the point which prevents flash for working on froyo out of the box in my opinion. I was thinking the problem of the non-sense (not nonsense lol) browser was, that it wasnt capable to use plugins. But it looks like that the whole sense framework has something to do with flash working on sense roms. Maybe some dev could take hand on that flash lite and compare it to how the flash 10.1 plugin interacts with froyo and the browser.
I aggree with all of you that flash might die and that there are better possiblities to create an active web ... but its a fact that its heavily used in the web (so with a dataplan youre not forced to use flash ... its just that i hear many ppl wanting it). I dont wanna start a discussion about usability of flash -this is just about how to port it to froyo on g1 for ppl who like to see it
Well from the port thread over in the ego forum they found that both versions of flash have a similar plugin method for the browser. I will have to find it later.

Sounds interesting! I searched the thread but didn find it. If the method of linking the plugin to the froyo browser was similiar there might be a possibility to use the flash lite without the sense framework i am curious to read that
Has anybody tried to use not just only the flash.apk but also the libs that come in sense 2.1 roms?
because missing libs can well be the cause of force closes...
alternatively we can wait until froyo comes out for sense phones like the hero...
There was another [THINK TANK] for this.... it died. Hopefully this will, too.
I tried modifying an APK to do this. I put the flash lite plugin in the flash APK and flashed on CM6.... Didn't work, their was no force closes, it did not even show up as a plugin.

Then how about you go back to just lurking before opening your mouth about something you clearly have no idea about? The fact that FLASH SUCKS and should have been gone a LONG time ago but it's still around is the only pathetic thing here. That's what I originally said, and that's what I'm saying now. Also, I'm sure most people will have no interest in this and it's most likely going to fail. Now, let those balls drop and man the hell up.

Definitely. Flash is very much the standard for now, and I don't see that changing for some time. HTML5 is great for very basic video playing, but it gets hard to do things dynamically with it. Personally, I've been wishing I could watch the Daily Show on my phone.

Since Moto wanted to keep the XOOM as legendary as possible (The UBER Official First Tab with a Honeycomb ROM) I say we should see a system dump/source dump coming juuuuuuust a little bit after that.

Go to notioninkhacks.com they are close to having a rom they need two files. There isa post on front page read it andcontact them.
Forget the Xoom port, I want the Honeycomb AOSP. CM usually gets them earlier than anyone so I'm assuming a CM Honeycomb base will come out two weeks after the Xoom gets released. After the Honeycomb base, then Roebeet, Rothic, Gojimi, and (fingers crossed) Bekit can start cooking!
CM doesn't get access to AOSP earlier than anyone else. Android Open Source Project is what AOSP means and is available whenever Google releases the source to open source and pushes it to androids github repository.
Once the " Honeycomb" branch is pushed we can start seeing real progress...though proper drivers also need to be released from nvidia.
I suspect a Xoom port will be available before an AOSP built rom is.

[sent with Xooming Android technology]
... Showing my interest also.
It looks like it's going to take a recompile of libsurfaceflinger.so. I tried using adb to push it to my xoom (just for the fun of it, since I knew I couldn't truly brick it by doing it) and it hung on the dual core tech screen with both of the versions of libsurfaceflinger.so that were provided in the link (they're the files in the .zip updates that are replaced).
It will probably have to wait until the honeycomb source is released before we see this solution supported, unless someone knows how to hex edit the existing honeycomb libsurfaceflinger.so (if it's similar enough to Froyo's or gingerbread's). I looked for the changes that they made to it to support the color calibration and all I could find is that they had made the changes in the "source". (Whether that's C or ASM, I don't know).
Short answer is, unless someone has found another way to do it- this method's probably not going to happen until honeycomb source is released.

I'd be interested in something like this too, if it is made to work on the Xoom. I bought my Xoom partially to show my photography portfolio, so I would pay for an app to let me fine tune the color.

Yes, I would also pay/donate for a solution. I also noticed, that the screen hue is dependant on screen brightness level. It would be great if a brightness level dependant compensation could be implemented.
Also a Photographer btw.
Greetings from Germany!

YES we definitely need to get something like this going, should be a very high priority among XOOM devs, IMO.
I think so, too. I can't believe so few people are complaining about this!
Sounds like you will want to look at this tip of mine found here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1099941
It's not exactly what you were looking for but it does enhance the Xoom's screen quality and diaplays a little nicer color. I am gathering a list of user known issues so that we can help solve them and possibly get some new features added. Hope this was helpful.
Yes, me too please. I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1v and just got a Xoom WiFi. The colors on the Tab are much richer and gray is accurate. On the Xoom the color is definately on the 'cold' side by being a bit blue and the saturation looks a bit washed out.
I work with Photoshop all day on a calibrated monitor so perhaps I am being a bit picky but the GT 10.1v is much closer to my monitor than the Xoom.
I ported the ICS Sense ROM from the Desire Z section found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546915 using the kernel and update script found in plattypus latest release, Its fully preview operational its nicely fast once it gets going takes like 5-7 minutes I would estimate to finish settling in after the flash. However, even though it appears fully operational by preview standards I can't make phone calls, send text messages, mount sd card, common data bugs. If anybody can make a modification here a modification there this ROM should come pretty close to fully operational. Screen orientation is proper keyboard lights up and is operational. Any how heres a download link to check it out if you'd like. I doubt I'm gonna do much more then this which is why I'm not opening a development thread on it, besides I don't have permission from the Desire Z dev (I didn't ask). http://d-h.st/2sf
PS: I'm not responsible for anything, so if you brick don't go blaming me lol although there should be no issues of that sort.
You're truly awesome. Lol looks like you didn't ask either O_O I'm not saying a thing

He should! Just remember to ask for permission -_- ...
ya wow! this is running smooth. just wish i could get some svc from it lol
I didn't post it in the development section because then I would be forced to fix it lol it appears to be a good base, if anybody wants to get their dev on with an idea on how to fix the remaining issues, they can post it in the development section after asking for approval of the dev in the desire z section (give props where they are deserved maybe?), since this is a Q&A section, my question is, can anybody fix the remaining issues? Honestly, I think all that's needed is modification to the build prop maybe a kernel mount issue like the 1 similar to 3.5 before drob311 fixed the mounting issue, a few bin/lib/etc file swaps, the camera issue that's apparent with many Sense ICS ROM's out there. modification maybe to the update script. Its a good step maybe it'll help plattypus? I don't know but I figured it was worthy in making accessible to the community, maybe it'll help with something?
Tell you what, Ask both developers for permission. Then ask The_Platypus for help with the data. If you can fix the data, This Rom would be better than his. I have seen some stuff on Google on how fix data and wifi. Maybe you could do some research on it. I hope this helps. I'm not going to give up hope because this is a pretty good port to be honest. I PM'ed you too btw
I think plattypus work is pretty awesome, I wouldn't have been able to do crap without the kernel he presented and writing update-scripts isn't my strong suit either. This release is just a marker I suppose, I messaged him before I posted this, its kind of a more advanced preview in theory if you drop the usr folder from this ROM into his port, orientation & keyboard potentially could be fixed in his as well. The usr folder in his preview version wasn't meant specifically for the shift, since the Desire Z is a similar qwerty device/board to the Shift, working orientation was already established in the Desire Z port version that was compatible with the shift, then all I did was port the shift specific drivers into the Desire Z port. Like I said I used his packaged kernel and update script and since the Desire Z port was already on beta 6, its potentially more advanced in modification then plattypus preview port. If nothing else my driver modifications potentially advances plattypus port, hopefully this aids his efforts.
I still say you and him should work together on this! I mean you fixed a big problem. I'll take your advice and ask lots of people things It's going to take me a while to work some things out too. Thanks for this port though!

I agree even if the OP is not planning on following up with updates any time you post a rom download link of any type of software it should be in development. Other people could work on it and post new versions then the OP can update the first post with links, credits ect.
