Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE

DZO has succesfully ported android to our vogues with basically everything working fine, including calls, sms, internet, android marketplace, keyboard, etc. etc. etc. heres what he had to say.....


UPDATE


More info and proper support for the project here....

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Sick!!! I want a touch now just so I can try this and see how it runs. Why did the guy film the video sideways lmao.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Well, this guy seems to have this one running better than what I saw for the RAPH800, but this is definitely on the list of "tinkering with" soon! I'm seeing TF3D2 being phased out in the core PPC world before Rhodium even hits the US!

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

hahaha suckers :P this s#it is so good that android is my main os at the moment woohoo

Everything woks flawlessly I love it!!!

Calls, sms, web, app store, email , everything works.... the only thing buggy is the keyboard but its normal cuz it was made for the vogue since android didn't have a screen kb at that time.... at least till we get the latest cupcake running as good soon that has one built in


All hail my dual boot (sorta) WM6.5 powered VogueDROID!!! ;P

Ps: I'm browsing with android browser while making this post

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Hey is anybody else having trouble getting the web to work??
Mike, could you please tell me how to set that up as well as the GPS.

Thanks man!

This is great!

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

open the default.txt or default-vogue.txt (whichever you are using) and there will be a section about connection regarding account username, and a empty space afterwards, you have to imput your account username in that section (example: *******@sprintpcs.com) its found under settings/system/device information if you want to look it up, and make sure you have a connection established before booting android. after its up and running you can toogle data connection on and off using the app "Togga"

scratch the GPS, dont work

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

hey wats the name of the song on the video so i can download it lol and i also use vogdroid 6.5 lol ... i think the web is faster then opera or skyfire or EI6 dont u think ???

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

dont know... ill look it up and see

but yea, android browser is pretty cool. faster than opera and IE8 but not sure about skyfire... its proxy so tough to be faster, but its hella nicer

my VogueDROID has really made all my buddies jealous and a sprint sales associate waqnted to buy it from me lol

Still running great, love the fluidy of the OS finger friendliness and market is kick ass!!

PS: im seriouslly am starting to believe that the cause of defectiveness in performance and fluidy in our devices is NOT the qualcomm drivers fault but WinMo itself (im not referring to video playback, im referring to animations, scrolling, etc.) cuz this OS is just as smooth as the iPhone, you really notice it when you scroll through menus, contacts, pics etc.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Thanks Mike, You the Man!

I have used a bunch of different theme's on my phone and this is quickly becoming one of my favorites!!

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

hahaha no problem bro

this isnt a theme btw, its the real deal. it shuts down windows mobile when booted and runs the real android OS

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

i agree on that its smoother and faster but still a great OS program to use

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

why dont you get music id or load it up if installed and let it listen to the music and id the song for you? come guys use the tools that we have and i know many use that app including me.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

damn, totally forgot about that lol

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

come on mike senior admin doesnt mean your old and have asn excuse to forget lmao... just messing with you bro.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

I figured, that is why it so smooth. Flawless! lol!

So, I saw you mention above the app store. I can't seem to find that on mine...?

Your help before was great and I am online perfect now and man do I love the browser!

Thanks bro!

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

its the "market" app but you need to log in to google for that, just input your username and password of your gmail account if you have one

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Man I cant get this thing to work for nuthin. I feel like a total noob.

I followed the directions, even tried putting everythin on an empty sd card so that it was the only thing on the card. Still all i get is a flashing white screen with the Android 1.1 and and error message witht he cupcake.

Any advice?

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

make sure it reads the default-vogue.txt when you run haret.exe and everything is extracted to the root of the card,at least thats where my files are...(you can change the name in the boot menu or delete the other two and rename default-vogue.txt to default.txt)

i had that white screen also the first time (havent bothered with cupcake yet cuz theres too much to be done at the moment)

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

when i go into settings i dont see my username.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

thanks for the update mike I was following this a while back on old builds that still didnt have all the functions working and lost track of the progress. I will have to borrow my gfs touch to give this a whirl :)


- here is the song( I even added it on my myspace, catchy tune :glasses1:)

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Works really well on my Touch. The one thing that's wrong with mine is that the Camera is messed up. I don't know if there is a fix or not. I might have to redo everything again....

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

the display is messed up but the pics turn out fine, no fix as of yet

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

this is the way i did it its easy and u need to use an google account

just follow step by step

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

heres something you guys will like.... DZO cooked up a working OpenGL-ES driver on our android port wohoo, he released a first test kernel

adding to first post

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

I've kinda given up on the Android port for now. I've been having problems with it, where some of the programs were not responding. I had problems with GMail, when I had that fixed then I would have problems with the Calendar, and when I had that fixed, I would have problem with the ringer. I think I may try to wait it out until the bugs are fixed. It was great while it lasted though.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

ive used funambol to sync contacts, but it always shoes up last name,first name and if there is no last name then ,first name. ive changed the format on my.funambol.com so the first name is first but evrytime i sync contacts it shows up the same. is there a better or different way i can sync my contacts?

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

well i would have said mail2web but they are going to be charging 5 a month now for their services and have to wait till may 1st to see if my backdoor idea is going to work.... but you could use an app like pimbackup and that will do your contacts, texts, etc...

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

hmmmm, i never had those issues like you mentoned. are you using the latest version?? the developer constantlly updates the .zip with new bug fixes and updates. the one im using new is from 04-28 and its running great, even the keyboard works perfectlly now, no more glitches
my contacts automatically gets saved into my google account when i added them one by one while logged in to google so every time i uptate my android build they automatically sync once i log in so i never have to worry about ever losing them

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

thats the fastes way to do it and safe way too u can change any contacts thru your gmail too

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Funny, you should say that, Mike. I wanted Android so bad on my phone that I redid everything, and it works like a champ. Unless I need to use my GPS, there's no way I'm going back to Windows.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

All right, I need some help, guys. I'm trying to figure out where all of the apps go when you download them off of Market. Apparently, it's eating up my internal phone storage, and I want to move them to the storage card. I've downloaded a file manager and I haven't found anything yet. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

I am having the same problem!! I don't know if anybody else has this problem or i missed a step, but I have an 8gb SD card, but it always says I am out of internal memory... Is there a trick to fixing that?

Thanks guys.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

yeah you just need the latest version of android for vogue and then you just put system.img and data.img on the root of ur storage card and the toehr files on your internal storage. You will notice as you install more applications your data.img will get bigger :) but its on the storage card so it doesnt matter

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

you rock, this is so awesome...how do i go back to WM6 to get my other stuff over?

--------- New Post Merged on 2/7/2009 at 01:56:37 --------

cam doesnt work!

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

what other stuff? and cam works, just your preview doesnt, so you have to guess that you're taking the picture right and then just press the center button to take the pic and it will come out fine :P

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

when i press cam button or goto cam app i get error messages about camera not working...force close

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

just sounds like you have an old version...make sure you have this one...

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

ok so I have done everything possible to get this to work. Extracted files to sd card root. Rename default-vogue.txt. to just default erased default and default-keizer. Run haret and it loads to the point to where it says it cant extract data.img cause file is not located on sd card :(

--------- New Post Merged on 3/7/2009 at 12:25:25 --------

i get down to the part for the image and it says

Please wait... extracting Data Image
rm: connot remove '/sdcard/data.img': No such file found or directory

EDIT*******

got past that now I am stuck at
ANDROID
Initializing Modem:

sh: cant access tty: job control turned off

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

make sure that username and password are both blank so it should be username=
password=
blah....

that should fix any issues with modem

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

I left everything stock just rename the folder default-vogue to vogue

--------- New Post Merged on 3/7/2009 at 02:38:13 --------

I have tried everything :(

i get down to the part for the image and it says

THIS IS ON THE 1.1 VERSION**************

Please wait... extracting Data Image
rm: cannot remove '/sdcard/data.img': No such file found or directory

I have extracted everything to the sd root and that is it. Well I renamed default-vogue to default but nothing else. I only extracted from 1.1 zip. Please help

sh: cant access tty: job control turned off


**************************

Downloaded the lastest 1.5 bundle. Tried running and it just show me a white screen. I tried changing the default.txt to panel 1, 2 and 3 and nothing. # locks up at the booting screen. I tried downloading the boot lock file and there is nothing there. The file is empty. Maybe someone with a sprint rom could send me the files there using so I can compare and see what I am missing.

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Ok, I got this to work. He is an easy installation Download the zip. Extract files. Copy all five files to your sd card root. Go to haret.exe on your phone and run. Initial setup takes about 3-5 minutes as it has to install so be patient. THIS IS AWESOME

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

it is awesome i love the android os on there! i cant wait for them to get it on TP so i can have VGA android <3

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE

Re: Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE
 

Waiting to my Touch replacement to come in, once it does I'm gonna use it for a tester and run this on it as well. I might have a touch pro for sell once this phone comes in. Man, I can't wait to show this to a few people. I've been waiting for this to develop furthur on the pro and it hasnt..still buggy as hell right now. BUT...looking good for the vogue...this is the only reason I went and got me a vogue is so I could run Android on it for show and tell...and I have some other things i want to test out. My phone collection will soon be TP, Pre, and VogueDroid 6.5, lol...loving it!!!
