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!

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！

Nice. some rare speciments you have there.

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.

Motorola Xoom Honeycomb 3.0 ROM for G Tablet?

Any chance of porting the Honeycomb 3.0 ROM from the Xoom to the G Tablet? Similar chipset (Tegra) and specs....

hopefully
I think we will see it before to long!

I would guess shortly after someone gets their hands on a xoom.

Asked and answered many times. please use the search.

Source Code should be coming soon
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.

Not to perpetuate this lame thread, BUT this is a good place for my question, I suppose. Don't you all think that Motorola is going to lock down the Xoom pretty tight? I don't know much about porting a new ROM, but I'm guessing it's not going to be a slam dunk.

Hey Robeet, exactly what is it you need from the Zoom? I work for a little companey that I will have the device in my hands shortly to play with. Anything I can do to help will be more than happy. Im not sure how to do a dump, but tell me what you need and I will do my best.

Has anyone taken the system images from the SDK and tried to cwm them onto the gtab?
I'll be trying this today..
The reason why I'm not too worried is,
1. CWM Backups are your friend!
2. Honeycomb was designed for the Tegra2 proc right? Xoom = T2 proc.. so most of the drivers should work, hopefully. (except the sd card, camera, etc..)
3. I didn't pay for my Gtab..
EDIT: Ok.. that didn't go so well. Reboot loop.. trying a new boot.img

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.

The images from the sdk are built for the emulator and not the tegra 2 CPU...that is a big reason why it hasn't been "ported" already like it was for the nook color.

ideos (u8150) development team? I.D.T

Hello to all of my ideos (u8150) users and developers. today an amazing developer stopped working on an amazing rom, (which i have on my ideos) and because of this i browsed many roms for this phone and came up with nothing that could compare to it, and inspiration struck and i thought "since work for the rom is discontinued, and there is lack of support for many other roms, why not try to ban together a team to work on an even better rom?
before continuing, let me point out im not a dev. matter of fact i know nothing about writing roms, but i do know that the ideos is a brillant phone that deserves a strong team to back up software for it. thats where the developers that i will try to recruit will come in.
the basic idea of this "project" is simple.
1. one developer will start with a basic version. when he is done with contributions, he will then pass it on to another, then another, and so on.
2. finally, when the team sees the project as coming to a rap, the rom will be distributed through out the team and tested, and as problems come up, the team can collaberate on the issues, and when everything is working properly, RELEASE!!!!!
now i know some readers of this will ask "whats the difference between this and how roms are made now? well its simple, the objective of this is to expand the margin of knowledges from different locations, instead of using near by developers and friends. keep in mind what one area knows, one may not.
anyway, any dev is welcome to join to the project. rules and regs will be added when a variety of members have joined.
also, if any ideas of how the team will collaberate come up, feel free to offer up what you got
PLEASE JOIN!!!!!

come on people give me feed back!!!
a little incentive? okay. if a larger development team works on the roms then, roms could be produced faster, and more efficent. so if any developers are out there reading, then take up the project. with alot of devs, it wont be too time consuming either, thus making it so you could work on your own roms as well.

Greetings :hi:
I'm in ^^
not a .dev or much of anything @ the mo :lol: owned the U8150 for a couple months now (previously modding Motorola)
bricked & brought back to life my IDEOS four times... (so far) ph seems pretty indestructible but very sensitive to any system fiddling.
linux is confusing the heck outa me :chortle: back to the bottom of the learning curve I guess
but I'll help in any way I can...

great, im glad i have another supporter on bored !!!!! the first thing that needs to be done befor anything is rally up more support. we need devs, stat. even if they dont normally do ideos roms, the more support for this we get, the better the chances of this working out. if possible i would like to get the development process started sometime this week so i really need you to get any, higher ups or (most importantly) developers, to get on bored.
and for any ideos user reading this, its for all of our benifits so help out too!!!!

also, i would like to point out, that the process i listed to begin with dosnt have to be how it works. i want the devs to decide how the collaberation works.
just think of all the things that yall want out of the ideos. if this happens, there will be a higher chance of these things happening.
1. 3D
2. can i hear a 2.3?
3. cyanogen mod
4. over clocking that actually works!!!!
5. maybe instead of knock offs of 2.2 or 2.2 with a different launcher and them, we could actually see REAL homebrew roms that are 100% user created.
now you cant tell me that dosnt sound good right?

I want overclocking that works

well there you go!!!! as soon as we can get some developers on bored with "working together" then we might can achieve that and many other goals.

I am in,
My idea is not to have many features and concentrating on developing 2.3 first and then slowly on 3.0.

alright!!!!!! but let me go ahead and tell you, 3.0 would blow up an ideos . it wont even load a honeycomb theme much less the system. (turns ideos into a pile of ask and smoke.) 2.3 would be the better focus in my opinion. but anyway back to the thanks yous and campaigning, thanks for joining and if possible get every single person (even if the only electronic they know how to use is vcr) that is at least somewhat capable of programing roms.
so the point is still.......you guessed it!!!!.........MORE PEOPLE!!!!!!
.........sorry i had 4 hours of sleep so im stupid right now.

3.0 is for qHD tablets(540 x 960).. while our device is qvga (240 x 320).. it surely can load and everything but.. won't be able to display every single detail, such as the taskbar will be miniature...Apart from that, it's better to continue developing 2.3 Gingerbread, since we already have the ports and the only leftovers will be tweaking the builds we already have to make them useful.
Thank you!
Count me in.

Heres a link to the Oced kernel http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2370q8r5tx4fish. Just chmod the file in Linux and Mac and for all Oses just double click the appropriate file to flash the new boot image. You will need to be in bootloader mode when you do this.

cyanogenmod compiler gui

This is the cmc compiler, so if anyone is really wanting cyanogen, but is not a real *nix person, but had ubuntu installed, go grab this and check it out. I just pulled it down a little while ago and I am playing with it as I write this.
It is pretty slick.
Let's try and figure this thing out, and see if just maybe we can get some version of CM working.

If you actually install and run it, it says when you go to select your device, that later in the gui, that you CAN work with unsupported devices, it has been updated a lot. I found an article on the main XDA site that said about a month ago, that this was sort of abandoned, but now it is back in full force with a ton of unlisted updates.
I am syncing repos with it right now, and it is FAST.
P.S. it seems to be much like my script, only that it is in GUI form, for the less "command line" savy, that is why I thought it might get a few others interested in this.

Looks interesting Going to check it out tomorrow......

I've been thinking about dusting off my over-a-decade ago linux skills to work on this some in my free time. This just made it easier to get off my butt.
Thanks, Jim.

Self porting interest?

How much interest is there for people to learn how to port a ROM?
I know there are ton's of ROMs out there that are awesome. Some we have and some we don't have. For those of you who want to learn how to port a ROM to our device, would you be interested in a device specific porting tutorial? If so, I will make one.
I know there are TONS of porting guides out there but they aren't very informative on actually what to do. Except for Lens_Flare's and Proxuser's MIUI porting guides. Which are generally helpful enough and that's how I started to learn and then figured out how to do it for just about any ROM.
If there is a large enough interest in learning how to do it for yourself or for the Evita community in general, I will make a VERY detailed NOOB friendly guide.

I am definitely very interested. I started poking around the sense 5 port to see if I could fix bluetooth and quickly figured out that I was in over my head. Would love to see a guide to more than just theming.

I wouldn't go that deep just yet if you don't have any knowledge of smali code. That's what porting deals with, and I'm still learning the coding structure for smali. I have knowledge but I'm still learning it. lol
I'm currently working on the bluetooth issue for that specific ROM.
I will put together a guide over the next few days. I'm going to be making it VERY detailed so there will be as little confusion as possible.

Yeah, I figured that out pretty quickly I actually have some experience reading and interpreting code, although mostly c#. My bigger issue is that unlike with windows, I don't understand what handles hardware and driver management or the boot process of Android. Thus, it is like trying to learn two things at once.

If they hang at boot, logcats are helpful. Also going into the system_server itself through shell. As for TWRP fails, best to pull up a terminal and "adb pull /tmp/recovery.log" most of the time it's a certain character in the updater script. I once had a corrupted .zip that I compiled through the android kitchen. Took me awhile to figure out that it was corrupt, lol.

The best OS to port android ROMs on is a linux distro, right now I'm on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. Only because I'm having probelms with my TV as my desktop monitor so I'm using my dualboot on my laptop. I stay off when-doze as much as possible unless it's to download music or for school. Don't feel like using VMware for adobe or Word....

Thanks. I did search Google and found great stuff. I only asked in case you stumbled across a site you prefered over others.
I also use ubuntu 12.04 with windows 7 in virtualbox for when windows is needed. I chose 12.04 over 13.04 only because there's a bug with the included kernel that breaks the sound through hdmi for my ati card.
One could even install ubuntu on an external esata drive for decent speed, portability and so as not to mess up any internal storage configuration.
