Why didn't development ANDROID for HTC Whitestone (IMAGIO)?

I have some question?
1. Can HTC Whitestone run Andorid?
2. If it can run Android, why xda don't development XDA-Andorid for HTC Whitestone?
3. If it can run Andorid and XDA-Andorid available for HTC, how to install XDA-Andorid on HTC Whitestone? Step by step to install for somebody have some stupid questions as me! We'd like Andorid for my phone!
Thanks for your work! Thanks for XDA!
NOTE: Some body don't install from Whitestone Android It Booted!!! http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=104666
I tryied this but my phone hangup when run error: 1. 648895] console handover: boot [htc_fb0]-> real [tty] on screen, please tell me what does this mean and how to fix this error!?

Mally2,
In the original post, there was already a reference to that PPCGeeks page. I have the same error and I'm looking for help as well. Any takers?
Thanks!

Is not a build for the Imagio

Android is not a special "thing" you just put anywhere and run, it has a kernel and is composed out of drivers and configurations, i'm pretty shure everething is out there but needs to be packed out together...
I'm a software developer but i have no experience compiling Android, my research is driving me to the HTC Lexikon (Merge) recently launched, this PDA hardware is very similar to the Imagio and it stock's Android so the work will be almost done and we won't need to start from "0", if you can help about please contact me..

Try this one

Try this one, this PDA holds almost the same hardware as the imagio, it deffinitely should work:

Post your results !!!

Has AnyOne tried his solution?
the lexikon is almost alike to the imagio
and if it doesnt work you can flash back.
So its a win win

i dont use whitestone.

It booted (i guess) !!

Hi, i am currently developing Android for the Imagio, i just startted the process and some tests, yesterday i was able to boot using a Topaz old testing kernel, but the screen was blank. I plan to compile a custom kernel for the Imagio.
I posted the Lexikon image but it wont work for the imagio because of the processor are different (Imagio= MSM7600) but i guess i could use some drivers from the Lexikon...
Wish me luck, i'm reading a lot to understand the kernel and Android
You can download the image i used here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/h9LTDTdp/droid_booted_imagiotar.html
And maybe, if you find the correct cmd_line arguments for HaRET you can get the screen to work properly

Glad someone is working on this. I'm right there with you! Make a thread on the imagio forum or pm me if you need testing.

[Q] HTC Incredible S + Accessory Development Kit (ADK)

Hi XDA.
I am new to this forum but have been working with Android devices and application development for about a year.
Recently I switched phone and bought the HTC Incredible S.
Besides of the phone development I have an electronics consultancy company doing different development jobs and electronics hardware reviews.
This week we got the Arduino MEGA ADK to review but I am unable to install the DemoKit application on my phone.
This is the log from Eclipse:
Code:
Installation error: INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY
E/PackageManager(1448): Package com.google.android.DemoKit requires unavailable shared library com.android.future.usb.accessory; failing!
This seems like a problem regarding the missing Google API on the phone. Though the phone is currently running Android 2.3.5 with Kernel version 2.6.35.9.
After a Google search it seemed like the Google API was first included in the kernel version at and above 2.6.35 - but then why doesn't it work.
My question is if HTC have removed this from the Kernel?
And what can I do to get the Google API to my phone so I can use it with the ADK?
Best Regards
Thomas Jespersen

you are missing 2 library's:
android.hardware.usb.accessory.xml sould be placed in /system/etc/permissions/
and
com.android.future.usb.accessory.jar sould be placed in /system/framework/
you can extract them out of an up to date ported sense rom of a htc sensation.
I made an update package for that problem but i can't share the link here because I do not have posted enough post to do so.
I will try to PM the link to you.
Tell me if it works, then I know that i can buy a HTC incredible s for my development.

Thanks, I will be waiting for your PM.
Currently my phone isn't Rooted, but I would definitely do that if it is necessary to install this fix, so I can do the ADK development with it.

ADK
Indeed your phone needs to be rooted and have Clockworkmod installed.
As far as I know it is not hardware or firmware specific since it worked on my htc HD2 an on my HTC hero(partly). I could install the demokit.apk and it would not crash since there was no support in my kernel it could not communicate with my arduino.
Since my HD2 and my hero both run an old kernel and flashing other kernels did not work out very well I was forced to buy a nexus S (yesterday).
But since your phone has the 2.6.35 kernel and 2.3.5 from stock I think this could be the solution.
You could try to check if your kernel supports the ADK first, because you are not rooted and you maybe do not want to root your phone if it does not work afterwards.
If you have got the arduino part up and running you could try this:
#include <Max3421e.h>
#include <Usb.h>
#include <AndroidAccessory.h>
Code:
AndroidAccessory acc("Google, Inc.",
"DemoKit",
"DemoKit Arduino Board",
"1.0",
"h t t p : / / w w w DOT android DOT c o m ",
"0000000012345678");
void setup();
void loop();
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
Serial.print("\r\nStart");
acc.powerOn();
}
void loop()
{
byte msg[3];
if (acc.isConnected()) {
Serial.print("Accessory connected. ");
int len = acc.read(msg, sizeof(msg), 1);
Serial.print("Message length: ");
Serial.println(len, DEC);
}
delay(100);
}
Change the "DOT" to "." and remove the [spaces] in the above otherwise I could not post this because of that "10 posts rule"
Just paste this in an empty skech and upload. The extra libraries are easy to find. Even if you are using the arduino 2009 or the arduino uno the custom files are also pretty easy to find.
The serial monitor schould say:
Code:
Start
Device addressed... Requesting device descriptor.
found possible device. swithcing to serial mode
device supports protcol 1
Device addressed... Requesting device descriptor.
found android acessory device
config desc
interface desc
if the serial monitor dislpay's something like this:
Code:
Start
Device addressed... Requesting device descriptor.
found possible device. swithcing to serial mode
Data packet error: 5could not read device protocol version
I would seriously consider buying another phone because the above was what i was getting with my HD2 on every available kernel and rom. I have been wasting my time since december.
As you see after all I had to buy an other phone after all.
I hope this helps

hi
You never get HD2 to use ADK?
i bought an arduino mega adk and i want to use it..
i don't have money to buy a new phone...
any advice? thanks

What is your current phone?
I have seen a google G1 working with ADK, i would sugest to maybe buy a second had phone that has 2.3.4 or higher on stock rom. For instance my mom's samsung galaxy mini can handle ADK on stock rom and I bought it for her Christmas for 100€, new in the store. So I think you can pick up a second hand one for a decent price (like 60€) maybe that could be the solution.
If you are going to buy a phone and you are not sure if it works with ADK take your laptop with you and use the test program that I mentioned in my last post, if the software doesn't recognize the phone you can still walk away from it.
I would really not recommend to start messing around with kernels and the library's for me it was a pain in the ass. If I would have worked all the hours that I have spend messing around, I could have bought a new HTC sensation.

hi
How Bad i can't use my HD2 with ADK..
well, i can't pay for an expensive phone but i can do and efford to buy some other phone i like HTC Sensation xl, or Motorola Atrix 2, but they are a expensive for me.. do you know if they work with ADK? other option can be a galaxy tab with 3.1 or motorola Xoom.. but i want a phone with ADK.
i haven't try my hd2 with kernel 2.6.35 with the sketch that you post.. so i'll give it a try and extract the files that someone mentioned i found them in my actual ROM..
i know it's difficult but maybe i get them to work.. thanks

htc sensation xl
I know for shure that a htc sensation xl because my girlfriend has one and I did try some stuff with that one since my hd2 wasn't compatible with ADK. I have heard people having trouble with ADK on samsung tablets so if youre are going to buy one be sure to test it before u pay for it.

I have now tested this on a stock but rooted ROM with 2.3.5, and 2.6.35 kernel, installed using Clockworkmod - and unfortunately it didn't work.
It gave me the complete same error as before I installed the files (*.usb.accessory.*).
Thank you anyways. I will be trying some different ROMs today to see which of them supports the ADK. Though I will be trying the Sense ones as I would like to keep using Sense.

You are right my explanation was not clear enough, the kernel needs to be compiled with the right flags set. Some developers take all the options but most of them just set the flags needed for the rom to run.

[Q] Ubuntu for Tablet for TF101??

Do you think there is chances that this ubuntu for tablet will be available for TF101? or is it possible to make it for ourselves?

It is available, look in the dev section.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Install

Lets do this.
I started looking at it this morning and they are releasing a porting guide tomorrow morning. I've already unpacked the images for the manta (nexus 10) and began poking around. I think we can successfully do this....since we've already got an armhf version started we could port just the interface and modules over on the base we already have.
I'll make a thread in the dev section as soon as I get more information and possibly a compile job started.

I would be totally interested in this. And available for testing anytime!!!!

Cant wait for this!! will have to get studying and try help out the cause lol, btw imagine it combined with this https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/GRUB

Porting guides up here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

It would be very nice to see a port to the TF101 of this project. If the standard Ubuntu ARM release has been ported I hope it will be feasible for the Touch release as well.

Trying to port.....
Hello all! I have the tf101, and have tried the porting guide, but is says that it is not supported.... any ideas for workarounds?

from what im reading if the device has a cyanogenmod 10.1 rom officially or unofficially then we should be able to port it im working on it myself as well, im not sure we have 10.1 tho i know we have CM10 just not sure about 10.1 but if it can be done it will be. we already have CM10 and we have 4.2.1 jellybean so i would think CM 10.1 is possible and therego ubuntu touch....id be willing to bet that if you give it a week or 2 the dev section will be graced with a port.
EDIT: update there is a ew CM10.1 rom up now and that will open the way for this to be ported...just saw it in dev section...maybe a few days rather than weeks the porting guide is rather straightforward and theres not much to it...its really a glorified theme just running in a container on top of android even using the android video, audio, and other hardware HALS and libs(i do believe) i am only a beginner developer so dont quote me completely...

Won't it have to be an official 10.1 CyanogenMod build? Last I check (5 minutes ago) they only had CM10 on the TF101? It could technically be done with an unofficial rom but it would make it a lot harder than you suggest. Please see the CyanogenMod Device Info (sorry I am a new user so I can't make the link click-able wiki (dot) cyanogenmod (dot) org/w/Tf101_Info ).

Maybe somone else gets in this situation. i guess my mistake has been wiping system completly with cwm-touch
anyway, anything has been in internal Storage seems to be lost.
Now i flashed RogueXM Touch v1.5.0-R1 with easyflasher, in after booting into it i were able to access Android images placed on my MicroSd.
At least CM10.1 is booting now.

until i get my 10 posts ill post here
i sort of got ap scanning working, i messaged jholtom already how i did it. it involved some manual manipulating, next i try to sort it out

and again...
i have modified rc script to include my "fixes", resulting in working wifi. i will push my changes so it can be used anywhere. to setup the network connection i used phablet-network-setup included in built tools to copy the wifi settings from my laptop. keyboard still isnt useable.
here is the result:
youtu .be / KHpHp21aylU
the browser feels quite fast
and this is the install log from ssh server:
pastebin .ca / 2327138
again i am not allowed to post urls :/

[Q] I want to build CyanogenMod 10 for my Samsung Galaxy Chat B5330 myself. Help!

Okay so I've bought a samsung galaxy chat B5330 device back in feb'2013. Don't ask me why cause I conciously bought it. So I realised after searching for 6 months that there is no interest of developers in this device. so I have taken up the initiative to 1) Build CM 10, 2) Port CWM, 3) Root the device myself. However I don't have much idea about building android. I've rooted and flashed Custom recovery n ROMs to my dad's phone before and I'm a geek so I learn things quickly about computers n phones. So I'm nor a complete newbie neither a Master developer. Therefore I need help of those devlopers who will be kind enough not to discourage me. Anyone can root a device which is more popular because it gets vulnarable too quickly so there is no point in telling me that "you should have bought a device which has developer support". I am interested to be a developer myself n that challenge is really so tempting to me. So here are my questions which I don't have exact idea about.
1) I have a computer of the config -> AMD fx 6100 hexacore buldozer 3.3 GHz/4 GB RAM/500 GB HDD/Windows7(32) & Ubnuntu 13.04(64). Can I do the job of building roms from the source with this config in the first place?
2) Does galaxy chat B5330 support 'fastboot'? if yes then How can I boot into fastboot mode? I've tried with adb 'reboot-bootloader' but the device just restarted normally. So I don't know How can I get into the fastboot mode?
3) CM developers are really kind enough that they have put alot effort into making the wiki. I've got precious informations about building android from source and all. But I have a confusion. There was mentioned fastboot is necessery for building CM. So if my phone does not have fastboot should it mean that I can't build CM for my device at all?
4) How much data do I have to download? Do I need to be connected to the internet always while editing local file? n If I use 'repo sync' to update the code always won't my editings get overwritten by stock code again?
so these are few basic questions I have for now. I know I might not get any response at all. But there's no harm in trying. thanks

The best way to start is to use another Rom as base (get permission first) then start tweaking it with scripts, apps and build.prop tweaks. Once you start to get familiar with the basics, start experimenting with different tweaks. Since you are going to create a Cyanogenmod 10 Rom from scratch, I give you best of luck and hope many people will use it!

FINALLY!

Hello All,
I am trying to re-vive the Ubuntu Touch port for Galaxy S3. In which of the many areas of XDA this would be placed?
- Its no official or unofficial Android ROM
- its rather like Sailfish OS
How to name the thread correctly according to [ROM] etc flags?

Well, that should be the least of your problems!

The other problems I manage locally - but I want to start a discussion thread soon, since I am convinced to be able to push out a test build soon. I want to involve more people into this, thereby generating more possible solutions for problems.
In case you are interested, the phone boots already correctly, kernel is fine without errors, Android container starts also without errors. Ubuntu´s init/upstart is mounting all necessary partitions, and brings up most of the basic services. Currently stuck with GUI since mir/libhybris/unity8 cannot paint on framebuffer or hw composer

Hi,
good to know. We just need to make sure AT&T version does not have too much difference from the international one. Can you dedicate it for testing? It does not need data to be wiped normally, since Ubuntu runs off a container in the data partition but you never know...
I am currently stuck with the GUI and tbh I have no idea when and how this will be resolved. Samsung has done a great job with their GPU and Exynos, but our libhybris part does not want to play with it nicely.
Keep you updated!
BR

Actually I use it as my DD but wouldn't mind testing a few ROMs for the gd of the comm.
Aiite then. Patiently waiting for the update.

I have the international version of S3 GT-i9300. It is currently without a working rom, so I need to find time to see if it will boot with an official rom flashed with odin, it currently has an old clockwork mod recovery installed and a lineage os rom that wont boot..
If I get it working again, then I could dedicate it to testing... I would love to have a phone that was pure linux with phone capabilities... then I would no longer need to use google's linux abomination known as android

Hi,
sorry to say but I stopped now every porting activity, since Canonical dropped Ubuntu Touch and we are struggling on all other frontlines to get the community together for continuing the OS.
There will be no new hardware ports in the near future, which I think will be up to 1 year or 2. By that time, also S-III etc are end of life, since its hard to support multiple generations of smartphones with different kernels properly. Im afraid we are too late...
Anyway, contact me if you want to help in other areas of Ubuntu Touch going UBports community

Hi there,
Florian from UBports. The active devices that we support can be found here: https://devices.ubports.com/#/ - that being said, you wont find the Note 2 there as an active device. What happened in the past I can´t say, but currently we have no ETA to work on new devices.
