Dear friends
Im a proud owner of a HTC TOUCH ENHACED or HTC ELFIN.
It would be possible to run android os on it?
Today i have watched a video where some guys runs in a touch screen phone a demo of android and this phone was a very slow one (ti omap 800, 64 ram and rom) and the os worked quite fine...
what dou you think about it?
cheers
with time yes now not likely i would keep an eye on
http://code.google.com/android/
Im new to the pda world (ive seen the light over super mobile phones like the N95 I currently own), Ive just been given old xda IIi and can appreciate the benifit already.
Ive just watched the U-tube videos on Android and I can see the future, what an amazing OS, there throwing down the gautlet with the offer of 10 million quite an incentive.
this OS on my Himalaya... that would be ultimate WIN
Being a ridiculous n00b here, I'm wondering the same thing, have just ordered the Ted Baker (Gay Purple) Touch on Win Mo 6 - and have no experience of installing OSs etc. on mobiles - how likely/practical is it going to be for me to put something like Android on it, when the time comes?
Don't worry, i'm sure you'll find a good tutorial as sson as android becomes available for the touch or any other PDA.
Actually flashing isn't that difficult, as long as you take yours time to follow every step. Otherwise you'll brick your device
[email protected] I bought the android device nüvifone a50. It comes with eclair. I heared, that the joined-venture between garmin and asus is at the end. So, there`ll be no official rom-updates to gingerbread or so in the future. I think, this device is a very good one. And it would be great, if some of the great rom-cookers from this forum would create a custom rom based on an gingerbread-rom in german and english language.
I`ll not a rom cooker, but i have already rooted my device and i would learn more about rom-cooking, adb, busy-box pp.
Would anybody help me?
Best regards

Has nobody an idea??

I would also love to see a Gingerbread ROM for the A50.
Is it possibel to use any of the other ROM's or does the phone need to have a Rom made specfically for it?
I'd also love to see Gingerbread or Froyo on this phone, is anyone going to make one?
hey guys sorry for interrupting!!! I just was passing looking for something else, garmin asus wont support any rom after 2.1 because the chip does not support this OS.
basically its 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 600 MHtz CPU, ARMv6
but you need ARMv7
btw, I would be happy to have it on mine too.

Hi I 'M a new man here . i bought asus garmin a50 last week .i think it's costs-effective android phone . the hardware almost same as the htc legend,excpet the ram .256vs 387(right).so why htc legend could update to froyo ,a50 can't ???
The A50 (Garminfone) has the 600mhz ARMv6 msm7227. Same as HTC Aria and Legend. Froyo can definitely run on it with official manufacturer roms and custom roms (although it may not be *officially* supported by Google Android 2.2).
We just need someone to figure out the bootloader and cook a rom. I think there is little motivation to do this though, since it will almost certainly kill the Garmin GPS software, which is why most people bought this phone in the first place.
There is some talk on the Cyanogen rom forums about developing a techniques to load a custom rom and still keep the Garmin software, like Cyanogen does with Google Apps. I won't be holding my breath though...

Thanks sharky for this information - just hope I guess
Chas
i know it's not going to happen officially, but i hold out hope that someone smarter than me is working away at making froyo work for us
What I know is the upgraded os can run apps designed for lower os. This is fact in developing applications. for example app runs on 2.1 will run 2.3.
the dilemma is that asus garmin uses special lib for garmin application these libs need to be ported to the new os. and this is not easy to be done.
thanks
looks no hope yet?
Anyone came across this?
rahmani123.co.cc/?p=305
It's titled "Tutorial Upgrade/Update Asus A50 to Android 3.1".
Is it a joke?

I think its a joke, I bricked my previous phone with crap information and thats enough. never trust morons again.
say it like this
i asked them for 18 months for froyo and they were thinking about it.
send emails to eric chen at asus. we might get a shot at froyo.
every time i buy a non asus or garmin product i send a email to the appropriate company explaining why i am not buying their product.
this tickles them.
still both companies are still at it.
ask any eepad transformer prime owner why they bought a tablet without wifi or gps.
ask anyone who paid for a 12 month map package with garmin and then found 6 months later that they have to pay again for the same package to upgrade it.
yes only garmin would exclude upgrades from a 12 mth package.
fink x fink breeds superfink ...garmin x asus breeds garminasus.
bomb eric chen at asustek with emails until we get service.
I have a Garmin Assus A50 and i don't mind to delete all the existing app or function in the phone include the garmin navigation app. is that possible can upgrade to froyo or higher?
don't think it will ever happen
I don't think or believe will see anything higher then 2.1 on the garmin-asus phone, wish we would.
hi guys:
android is very popular nowadays，every manufacturer is makeing awesome android phone or tablet。so i was thinking what‘s the different, what kind of mother bord dose they use,is there a different or they are using a some motherbord and just change the cpu or what. i was confused。
For example, i want to make a tablet myself, i need a motherbord and android system right? the system is free ,but where my supposed to get the motherbord,and how my supposed to run the system on my homemade hardware.
please help me!!!!!!!
android is an OS, any hardware that can understand the OS of android will do.
even phone with Windows OS and hardware, some people are able to port Android also.
There is something to do with the processor that is supported with android mostly ARM.
for your peace of mind read this.

thanx it helps a lot
i've wondering if it's possible to make an Android ROM based on Honeycomb for Tablet have it running on a nokia n800? what do i need? if this is possible, nitdroid project has not been active for the n800 port, i have seen some video showing n800s running eclair or even froyo, but this people doesnt responde at all, nitdroid says the n800 port has been stopped and instead n900 port is in the making, i wanna give a try for myself if something can give me some guidance i would appreciate it so much
Thanks so much in advance
BTW
I managed to install nitdroid on my n800,. but we are talking about donut, and is kinda slow , dont have sound at all, and the main objective is to ditch maemo and to have android as primary OS in the tablet, before getting enough money to buy a MMP powered with android, like the samsung galaxy player 50 or some other android device equally small like the n800
Thanks again guys for any help
Hi all
I have this watch that has a specialized os that I want to change to more usable os.
but I don't know it's brand as nothing is branded on it, so I can't find a way to achieve this.
could anyone help me in steps to install a usable os on it? as I have very little experience in smartwatches in general.
thanks
