Hey guys
i hope this thread doesnt already exsist. If it does im sorry!
I have been doing some research and have discovered that you can jailbreak a apple ipod touch first generation and put android on it. I have rooted many phones however i have never jailbroken an ipod and was wondering if anyone has done this yet and has established a simple tutorial on how to do it. There isnt really a clear way on the internet. I trust this forum more than any other.
Has anyone done this?
there are several links on Youtube.
Thanks guys !
Jailbreaking in normal is very easy.... You only have to start a exe (called blackra1n.exe) edit me if im wrong.
lol screw that u know.. just grab your ipod go to www.jailbreakme.com with your ipod's safari, slide the thing voila done
jailbreaking..... check.
android on ipod touch....... anyone.....
i really want to know if this can be done too..
Look for openiboot in google,i have it on ipt 1g works but runs quite slow

nipple head could you kinda give us a quick run down of what steps you had to take to get this done?
id really appreciate it =]
Go check out www.idroid.it with google translate they have the easy steps and u need linux to do it

I feel like we are only thinking one sided, android devices should be able to boot windows mobile. I would do it but I dont know where to start.
maybe i will try and flash a wm6.5.3 wqvga rom to mytouch 3g and see what happens since they have native capacitative support in the os now.
somebody mind pointing me in the right direction?
wtf would you want windows on this? i would point you in direction of buying a windows device
only for try..i want to try win mob. on my magic..i don't like win but if i can choose with a bootloader if start android or win mob. ............so WoooW
if win mob is hard to port...we can try to port iOs... no??
(sorry for my bad english, i'm italian)
if Apple users can port Android on iFron, why we can't port iOS on Android devices???
I don't like WM either, but i think it would be nice to see iOS on Android...but in my opinion it is impossible.. if it was possible, somebody would do it already..
lele5800, because Android is open operating system, you can modify sources and build it for any device.
iOS and WM are closed..

If I make an iOS theme, does that mean I've 'ported' iOS? of course not, you can't use those words interchangeably.

you see you all miss the strong points of windows mobile. not only could i open view and edit office files i could open and send directly from my email (outlook mobile) i have a mytouch 3g and honestly dont like it even with froyo. the only reason i got this lacking device is because i broke my touch pro2
there are so many things I can do that i cant do on android with out a force close.
and if android is soo "cool" why not run windows mobile for people that need that good office integration for work since jobs are hard to find here in america.
I thought it would be a good idea. android to me is for people who would like to seem smart with out the need of actual know how.
the developers on the other hand seem smart to me remembering all the sudo command lol
but I seen my personal compatibility flaws with android when i couldnt open a docx or a doc file directly from my email and/or save it where I wanted to.
so dont down me for wanting better integration.
android looks nice. thats about it. the keyboard onscreen likes to close on its own and never come back. too often. so please if you arent helping the port dont say that other chitter chatter. cause the **** don't matter.

What the flying **** are you talking about? If you hate Android so much sell your myTouch3G and GTFO.
All the "flaws" your talking about aren't even real issues. File manager? Did you spend 1 minute looking through the market for a file manager app?
Opening the limitation to opening a docx file is part of the design by Microsoft why the **** would they want people to be able to open and edit documents with software that isn't getting them money? And why the **** would you want to edit your docs on a 3.2inch touch screen. FAIL
The Keyboard likes to close and never come back? That has never happened to me. You're using your phone wrong.
So android is for idiots?
Were you any smarter than you are you would have a bunch of apps that do all the things you want them to do. For example DocsToGo is an excellent program compatible with ms office files.
Android runs perfectly if you know what to run on your device. try running windows 7 on Intel 386. Works well,huh?
Exactly, your **** does not matter.
Windows mobile..never again.
Windows Phone 7.. wortha try next month
I only mentioned that some have making something for magic, but unfortunately, certains members instead of providing more, they talk and talk.
I think that is not the purpose of this forum.
your reply does not help its purpose either.
my cousin just showed me this app for the iphone called hey tell. its a voicemail text app, instead of texting you say a brief sentence and sending like atext and its just as fast as a regular text.also they can do the same. just wanted to know if they have a similar app for the hd 2.
I'm not familiar with hey tell, but Android has voice to text throughout the OS. You can voice to text SMS. Voice to text searches, etc. Of course it goes the other way too with text to voice so that it speaks turn by turn directions.
Android on the HD2 is getting very stable and useable now. It's been my primary OS for many weeks now.

Its called Tellme (see it here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKWjPONWl_c)
This can crash your phone so install latest microsoft voice command MSVC, it worked on and off for me so gave it the flick but others give it the thumbs up so each to their own.
I dont recomment using that app, can really brick your phone.

Dude man up already! If you can do cht you can do android with your eyes closed. Its really not that hard and because it runs from your sd card there's really nothing that can brick your phone. Once you go android you will not give WinMo a second thought. Trust me. The latest builds of droid are just as if not more stable than my WinMo setup. Battery drain is the only issue for me right now (it's not really that bad but it's not quite as good as WinMo atm) but once we get a nand version this should get better.

Android isn't that hard, as long as you know how to hspl unlock your phone, flash a custom ROM and a proper radio. Nothing to it at all for a noob....
Maybe that's why we NEVER see threads that start "help me, I think I bricked my phone!!!"

I found out howto put android on my phone, out is simple its like updating your rom from tmobile. so im going to try that when I get home, hopefully nothing happens to my phone. I already downloaded everything I need, so wish me good luck guy s, thanx allod your for your help and advice.
I just want to let you guys know I got it baby finally got android working. Thank you all for your help and patience.
The latest Skype update for Android is available to everyone, but it only enables video chat on four specific handsets. Fortunately, impatient modders have gone some way to correcting this profound injustice, by creating APKs that activate video calling on other handsets too. So far we've heard of successful ports on the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation, Thunderbolt and EVO 4G. If you've got some other handset with Android 2.3, a little experimentation with the APK might also be worth your while. However, we just tried it on an Xperia Arc and didn't get very far: the app ran, but efforts to communicate with an Xperia Neo resulted in one-way video, a locked landscape mode and plenty of awkwardness. Let us know if you fare better -- you'll find a Thunderbolt-specific download at the DroidLife source link, and a more general APK at TechPetals.
http://blogs.skype.com/en/2011/06/smile_skype_for_android_with_v.html
Figured I would drop this in here if anyone has some know how and wants to look into it to see if there is anyway for us to have this on our phone. Doubt it though considering it requires 2.3 which seems to be the standard for google video chat and stuff, but hey, its worth a shot!!!
Found some more info. Tested and still didn't work but apparently on our device but confirmed on the SGS2. Here is the link for the guy who got it working.

Probably requires GB.... I would think
yep. the official requires gb and in the list of device check. with device check removed, almost all with gingerbread can use it.
man, so much we can't do without gb. This phone should have launched with it.

Yeah, one of Google's big thing at IO was that they wanted to eliminate the fragmentation, yet I haven't seen anything to indicate they're taking steps to achieve this.
Unfortunately it's one big advantage Apple has... they take a hard line position that the carrier doesn't touch the OS software, nor prevent the deployment of the updates. Not sure why Google is such a wuss when it comes to holding the carriers accountable for the timely delivery of their updates. AT&T says it's because they have to ensure a quality user experience, but comon, what AT&T customer actually believes that crap? LOL

hey, this is gonna sound like a really dumb question and way off topic but can you tell me how your notified when someone posts. I have always been one to read through forums daily but have never gotten too good at participating, as you might tell as I have been a member for 3 years and have very little posts. I personally have to try and remember the threads I participated in and see if someone replied. This seems very redundant but I don't see a better way to be notified. Thanks in advance
Is anyone's phone dying quickly after installing this. I even tried signing out and closing the app but my phone legit drains 10% an hour on standby. So I deleted the app. Now my wifi is turning on and off and can't keep a constant connection. Help?

I personally have seen no change since installing it, as for the wifi thing are you rooted and running any rom of sort of just stock? I have seen some wifi issues with the roms. Don't know if maybe the app sparked the problem or what but maybe you can backup your apps and reinstall. Good luck

The only true advantage that Apple has over Android is that they only more or less support one device. Android is spread amongst how many different devices? It's easy to put out lackluster updates to a single device, but putting out updates to 20+ different devices isn't so easy.
how are you guys even getting it to install? is it actually working?
yes please, can any one confirm that the video call on Skype is working on the infuse?
regards
no it is not working. installing the custom apk does give you the video call option, but if you press it, it goes into landscape to prepare for video call and then it does nothing. gingerbread is needed since it uses the frontfacing camera api.

Yes, my phone's battery started draining in about two hours after installing Skype, so I uninstalled and things are better again now.
Even if Skype supports video on the Infuse, I don't think I will start using it unless they address the battery usage.

I just got the Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-mobile
as a free upgrade - I didn't even know what an APP was much less
an Android os. In any event it came with froyo and I ugraded to
Gingerbread 2.3.6 -
I was wondering why I was not getting anywhere with T-Mobil and Samsung
support = now I know I had to find out from my Bank y there mobile app would
not work = phone needs current android OS. Will Android 4.1 work on /B]my phone and where do I get it?
Apparently Samsung is not coming forth as they have Galaxy S 3 coming out
PLEASE DO NOT DELETE -
No... It wont. If the app doesn't work with your phone most likely it's just not supported on your device.

That's very strange that an app wouldn't work for 2.3.6 and only ICS, but no, you can not get Ice Cream Sandwich on your device, as it is not out for the device. If it were to be supported on your device though, it would upgrade in the same manner that you went from Froyo to Gingerbread. I hope this helps.
Thanks guys for the feedback

Welcome, I'm a newbie too, as well as a bit of a stranger to Android (I've always had a Blackberry until a few months ago).
*brofist*
Unfortunately, Samsung (and many other manuf) is pretty bad about releasing Android updates for its devices. If you want a newer version, you will have to root it. If you are ready to learn and get frustrated at times then visit this link about your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_4G
I recommend becoming very intimate with the steps and reading up on if your device can be un-bricked before starting.
just looked at link and read part of it will finish tomorrow thanks
for the link
Everyone has been a noob some day so for you to star i would recomend you to visit freeyourandroid.com and start watching their wiki and some simple things...after that go to your phone dev section and learn a little bit of it....then root it with the easiest way out there(there are always like 3 ways)...after a week with root try to install a ROM or a kernel or a modem...something easy!! and for your samsung device always see if the part your going to flash is for your device so you dont get a $400 bucks toy
here are my ¢2 cents of help remember to always thank every guy who gives you an answer and welcome
Sent from my €PΩ 4G TØU©H
Since this app has become reason enough to research, have you considered trading out the device for a newer model with T-mobile? May have to shell out some cash, but there are benefits to trading up if you're so inclined.
I had a quick look on Virtual Wallet by PNC from the Market and based from the reviews, it looks like you're not the only one having issue with that app. There's a developer webpage so maybe have a quick look if they are planning to update the app or email them.
Also as linearstream have mentioned, have a good read on that wiki to understand more about your phone. I did the same thing when I started rooting/modding my phone about a month ago. Believe me it's all worth it
I will do thank you
Can't afford right now but will keep as a option - tx for the feedback

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to smartphones. Just got myself an Xperia Play 800i.
You won't be able to run ICS stock, but you may want to check Cyanogenmod and see if your device is under the supported list and see if they are developing and ICS rom for your phone. You may want to get someone a little more technologically advanced to see if they can flash your phone to ICS. I would not recommend doing it yourself as it may result in bricking your phone, or just a lot of frustration and getting no where.
