Can our HTC CHa Cha run Jelly Bean and is someone of our DEVs capable of Porting it to the phone ?
Tasadar, Let's be a bit optimistic. I am sure its a product of their time availability as well. This is a hobby after all!
I would be interested in stuff like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815962 which promises to make it automated!
I don't think it's a matter of whether it -can- run it, as whether someone will actually port it.
So far ICS/CM9 is going very well, and runs very smoothly, and from what I've heard - JB/CM10 runs even faster in general, so would in fact be ideal for this device.
The biggest thing is porting device drivers/libraries, such as for the cameras, which even in the ICS/CM9 port only one of the two currently works.
Be patient, and I'm sure we'll see at least an attempt, if not a full JB port in the future
I can't say it will work or not, but if I have time I'll try to see how it goes after the holidays (mid September).

Yeah, right now I'm curious why I posted in the wrong thread... and in other threads as well..
I'd really like to see some work on this if anyone is willing to take it up. I'd -love- to start it myself, but to be entirely honest, I would have zero idea on where to start.
I know that CM10 is currently running on the Samsung Galaxy Gio, which is significant in that it runs the same(or nearly the same) processor as the ChaCha.
(it uses a 800MHz Qualcomm QCT MSM7227-1 Turbo, whereas the ChaCha lists 800MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM7227 Turbo, both are ARMv6)
The Gio has less ram, and less storage.
So at the very least we can assume the device will at least -run- JB/CM10.
I am aware that the CM9 port isn't entirely perfect yet, and that rom porting must be very difficult, particularly with getting the internal devices working correctly(network, camera, etc)
but I have a feeling this will be well worth the effort.
I recently tried out CM10 on my Acer A500 Iconia Tablet, and WOW! the speed was at least doubled from either the stock GB rom, as well as the unofficial CM9 port.
If it can do so much for a more powerful device, imagine what it could do for our beautiful - yet underpowered - phone, the ChaCha/Status.
I would also be more than willing to put my phone on the line to help test where testing is needed.
Please, someone, take this up!

Hi, I don't want be rude and talking badly to the Samsung Galaxy but a new device with Android OS that has only a 3.2Camera and no- Flash seems bit absurd don't you think? The name has nothing to do with the real world...a galaxy or a star usually is very bright...with this phone you cannot even make photo or video in the night time...mmmm....not a galaxy whatsoever................
All I can say is: Stay with HTC models!
But the procesor and the chipset is a lot better then the crappy qualcomm. If only HTC start to use different processors.
Qualcom chip
Are you sure about that? I have an Htc Diamond 2, a Sony Xperia X1, and Htc Hero, they are perfect ! before that a Samsung D900...it was fine...nice phone but I could not do it the things I do with Htc or Sony.
u cannot compare phones with different OS, and I dont know what chip was used in D900. I am talking about Snapdragon(Qualcomm) vs. Hummingbird(Samsung).

have you seen the galaxy videos? it takes like 5+ secs to actually getting in to the gallery after pressing it. it seems kinda slow to me. unless that's because of the software being beta or something, that's slow to me.
@ qualcomm vs hummingbird: qualcomm will come out soom enough with dualcores.

1. seen that, especially the "Lady" that was clicking on icons like she was mad and launching few programs at the same time, but who knows.
and after qualcomm will come with dualcore, samsung will come with better dualcore.
I think there were some benchmarks comparisons, will try to find them.

Hello,
i was actually wondering if anybody knows how to Mod correctly a galaxy.
I have a galaxy from the middle east which does not come with marketplace. the I7500JVIL2. I have flashed it using ODIN to another rom I7500xiik, however many options stopped working like sdcard, camera, etc... i flashed it to 1.6, camera started working but sdcard still doesn't.
So, I was wondering if there is any way to get this fixed. I need sdcard so that I flash using recovery mod. I'm trying to flash it back to the original build I7500JVIL2, hoping this will make everything work again.
Do you think this is a good solution? Are there suggestions you can make on another build to use that has marketplace and everything working on the phone.
Sorry if I posted in the wrong place. I couldn't find anything regarding galaxy on XDA and I love this forum. I habe been able to succesfully mod my g1 through this forum.
Thanks,
VENI VIDI VICI

For me the only thing to like about the galaxy is it's name
I just realized that you are talking about the galaxy(i7500) and not about galaxy s(i9000).
BTW galaxys, you should sue samsung for using your nick.
Personally I wouldn't touch a Samsung with a bargepole, I have owned a few Samsung phones, where the phones tend to be okay they do not support them at all with firmware updates, they have a remarkable release rate of phones and rather than supporting the current ones they just release a new one!
Galaxy name
Yeah your right only the name is cool....I don't know why people don't pay attention to the market...We have around in Uk at list 10 top of the range mobiles, starting with HTC HD2, Htc Desire, Htc Legend, Nexus One, Diamond 2, Motorola Milestone, Nokia n900, Omnia2 and so on....Why buying the Galaxy?. I will give you another example: Which would you buy between Htc Desire and Sony Xperia X10???...Of course the Desire!!! they have the same price but Desire is on another planet: Android 2.1, Multitouch, better Keyboard, better interface...Maybe..the only thing Xperia X10 has better then Desire is the Camera that's all...Xperia X10 is basically a 2009 device sorry arrived to late!
What do you guys think about this feature.
G3MOD Kernel for GT-I5800 has it. It has it for Gingerbread and Froyo.
So we can compare enough
I've seen that yesterday, too.
I think it would be a very interesting project, IF it is possible.
The NS's NAND chip is perfect for this, eliminating slow read/write bus times to the 'external' memory.

Bootmanager on Nexus S
It's a quite good idea !! I think about sth like bootmanager
Is there any possibility to have dual boot on Nexus S?!

Not really, I had a HD2 previously and it was totally capable of this. I would love this on the Nexus S. I'll have MIUI and AOSP running
Ok, so I'm pretty new to this whole Android thing, but I'm not daft and know a think or two about computers and software, so I'm not a complete 'noob'...
However, to spare me the drama of trawling through thousands of pages, I have a few quick concise questions, and would appreciate concise answers.
So I bought a generic handset, branded as an Onyx Dragon though AnTuTu benchmark app tells me its a Yusu... details and specs from Chinavision.com (search Onyx Dragon).
I initially bought it because I needed a new phone (been on a Moto V3 Razr for about 6 years!) so got this cos it was cheap and looked good. Runs Froyo on what I have found to be pretty **** hardware (MT6516, advertised as 416MHz but shown to be around 207MHz, but not sure if this is main CPU or radio core...) with not a lot of RAM. I installed an 8Gb SD card to save the apps and keep as much free internal space as possible, in case the OS supports disc memory (?). The wireless is good and screen works well, but the GPS, navigation and camera are rubbish, but they are not why I bought it; I have a decent camera and I can read a map. Its definitely 'entry level' so I'm not too bothered if I brick it.
Since I got it, and seeing the many cheap 'clones' out there, I'm keen to get into them a bit more and start developing. I already rooted it with z4root, BusyBox and Superuser all installed fine. ROM Manager is running but because I don't know the actual brand I'm not yet running ClockWorkMod (doesn't show up in the list). I'm keen to install Gingerbread or maybe even CyanogenMod 7, but cannot flash the ROM without CWM. Can anyone tell me what phone 'model' I should use for this particular handset?
I can't overclock the chipset, but have been looking at other clones to play with, such as htc Incredible G11i Pro clone from etotalk.com and 'CyberStar' 3G handset with MT6573 650MHz chipset (also from Chinavision).
Does anyone have any knowledge/experience with these clones? They look great and if they work as well as the budget model I have now then there is certainly potential. Sure, they may not be as good as a genuine Galaxy or Nexus, but then the price reflects that. However, as a cheap development platform you can't really go wrong! I'd like to see faster processors and more hardware mod ability such as clocking, just to see what is possible. Anyone tried ICS on one of these? I read elsewhere that if Froyo runs ok on a cheap device then GB should be better. My friend has GB 2.3.3 on a genuine $500 Galaxy S2 and I'd love to show him up with a rooted and clocked clone running ICS for a fraction of the price!!
Well, thats not as concise as I would like, but it covers pretty much everything. One last thing though, I cannot install ES File Explorer 1.6.1, it will download from Market and attempt to install but then fail. The latest version I have is the pre-installed 1.4.2.2. I've tried everything I can think of; downloading on my Mac and copying via USB to install from Astro making sure ES is not running, failed. Tried uninstalling ES with ROM Toolbox having root access and disabled AVG, failed. Tried to launch new version from package options, failed. I have installed ES Task Manager v1.2 but cannot use all the features as it says File Explorer needs to be updated, and needless to say updating it from the prompts failed as well... Any ideas? I'm thinking a flash to GB should include the latest version (or better alternative).
Thanks all in advance!
I don't think it's possible to run ICS on such a low spec'd device. This onyx dragon runs on a 416Mhz ARM9 processor with a 200 Mhz ARM7 GPU. Even the G1 that uses a 528Mhz ARM11 CPU can't run ICS well. I would suggest that you give up on theses crappy chineses devices. If you don't have money you can find a LG Optimus One for 100 bucks on ebay and it is A LOT better than any of these chinese crap phones

Hey all, thanks for the feedback. Basically, sure I don't want to spend a lot being a student, I don't have a lot, but I'm keen to get more out of what I can afford, hence the Chinese crap (yes it is crap but if it does what you need...) : ) just a shame I can't clock mine! Does anyone know if ANY MediaTec chips can be?
Sure, I think running ICS is a bit optimistic, but I'd still like to give GB or C-Mod a go, providing I can get CWM installed. I'd like to compile myself and even think about refining my own version, perhaps slimming down a newer version to run on low performance hardware. What's this about a special cable needed with a 3.5mm jack?
And am I right in thinking Honeycomb was only for tablets, not phones...?

Yes you are right about honeycomb. As for the device. Without kernel source which will never be released due to copyright issues you may have a bit of trouble Modding it. CM only supports authentic devices and not clones as the hardware specs as you learned are faked and never true.

Hi droidscope,
Not all the Chinese phones are crap there are a few very capable phones now entering the market and they are catching up the bigboys rapidly.
For more info & reviews on the latest Chinese phones check over here http://www.gizchina.com/category/phones/ Try to stick with the branded chinese phones such as Zopo, ZTE, Newman etc because there is at least some support where as the direct copy/clones have no support at all. If buying try to get the phone pre rooted because some of the Chinese phone are getting more difficult to root. I would look here http://www.etotalk.com/ if buying and select the MOD ROM $4.99 for most phones then the phone will come pre rooted with working playstore language etc. They do not 1 to 1 copys although some of the phones have more than a passing look of some of the more famous brands. I have used them a few times and they have not let me down be sure to email them first to ask about stock levels though.
hey guys,
always beeing fascinated about webos and it beeing the first platform with true multi tasking i remember back the days thinking abaout buying an HP device...
we all know, except the touchpad you wont get that much support anymore..
but now the open webOS project beeing released and me beeing the one testing out all and everything with my p500 i would like to know if it is possible to run webOS on our device?

Maybe yes but i dont think developers are interested to port the os

well yeah the pre and the touchpad...
i mean jb and ics were not supposed to run on our devices and...well they do...
i guess you have to compile from the source:
scroll down to source
helpful? hope so...
ok guys i found out that a friend of mine is a developer of this project
webos in the current stadium cannot be installed anywhere!
it requires a linux 3.3 kernel not even the old palm devices are able to run webos
just want to add:
my laptop is running the latest ubuntu 12.04 and its kernel is...
3.2.0-29-generic <-- this is lower than the required kernel for a mobile OS ?!
this is a fail -.-
anybody knows which kernel runs on s3 or nexus?
Palm pixi has 600 armv6 processor
It might be possible

as its name suggests, it is only for developer, for testing their apps etc. if you're not a developer, it is better to wait for a final release. unless you like living with bugs, crashes and other possible instability issues.

I don't think they will, i mean, yes MXP has 5.5 inches and 1080p screen but the RAM and processor is kinda weak for android N :/. but what do i know, I maybe a bit good at tech but i'm not a tech guy, but let's keep our hopes up that Lenovo will release android N for MXP
I have been wondering about this too but its too early. It is a preview of N and the android development platform for android N or whatever it will be called called is not yet released - after google I/O in may .....may be . In six months or more (alot more ) there something like cm 14 or other rom. Be patient

I'm fairly confident Motorola will provide an N upgrade for lux. In any case, you'll get it with custom ROMs (after the final N build is ready). The CPU and GPU are perfectly fine for the purpose and I expect it have zero difficulties with it. I plan to continue supporting this device till at least 2018.

yeah, i know 32-64 bit doesn't change the performance much. 64 bit just supports more RAM and has more address lines.
i hope to do the same, but building from scratch is very confusing when you are a beginner. still trying though.

Not so quick question:
When Google releases a AOSP -source code ect - for android N or any other version CM team make a basic CM version - a core of the OS so to speak - so that people who maintain a given device like MXP can adapt it to work. And that takes time....I over simplified the whole process - which surely includes lots of coding and magic - but all in all is this how it it's made ?

We need a final N and caf being updated. Then when a rom updates to that we can try building it for Lux (Code name Moto X Play) and fixing everything. Then Motorola will update it so we can use the blobs and kernel to make it even more stable.
You can look on motorola upgrade support page, there is info fo several models and android versions. We cant be sure if N will come to MXP, but Im sure, Motorola has great support and its normal, that phones gets two major upgrades. So MXP started on L, moved to M and N is very likely.
