[FULL-FILLED] Linux and Android for Vogue is HERE

Note: The video is from an older build so more progress has been done since then,its just to show that it works great



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.....

Hi All,
I've managed to get Linux and Android up and running on Vogue. I've put everything you need at

Code

http://cs-alb-pc3.massey.ac.nz/vogue

Just download the latest android zip file, copy system.img and data.gz to the root of your sd card and all the other files anywhere you like, run haret.exe, click run and wait a while. This is with my New Zealand Vogue (Branded as OKTA Touch) but it seems to work on all Vogues, (e.g. Sprint Touch). This has no chance of working on any phone without an MSM7X00 CPU. Newer kernels (i.e. those with audio and power collapse) will only work properly if you have an updated radio, I am using 3.42.50 so update to this if you can.

Volume Down is the Menu Button, Volume Up is Back, Power is Home (on recent kernels) and the Camera button displays the keyboard.

This will not damage your phone in any way and is very safe, it doesn't touch the NAND flash memory so can't mess up anything, just soft reset (or press and hold the end call button, then select power down) to restart windows mobile.

To add Android apks, put them into a directory called AndroidApps (must be capitalised correctly) in the root of your SD card.

Update: Touchscreen now works, people have also had some success running this on Kaiser and Titan.

Update: Radio works, see post 187.

Update: Now has an onscreen keyboard, see post 303.

Code

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=303

Update: Can now make and receive audio calls, see post 312.

Update: SMS now works, see post 330.

Update: Backlight can now be turned off and the browser works well.

Update: Better keyboard, working clock and charging, see post 436.

Update: SD driver works, see post 539

Update: New SDK boots, network and calls work, no SMS yet.

Update: New SDK works much better, SMS works, audio works, now has full screen keyboard, see post 867

Update: Power Collapse works, battery meter works.... in fact it's pretty much usable now.

Update: Camera works (with some quirks), network can be connected and disconnected.

Update: Runs the android cupcake release with on screen kbd.

Update: Screen brightness works.

Thanks.

Note: This will only work on Vogue, Please don't ask about other devices, they should have their own threads.

There is now an irc channel (#vogue-android) on freenode to chat about this port.

UPDATE

Just replace your kernel and system.img with zImage-gpu and system-gpu.img and your vogue will be able to do things it has never done before. There aren't that many apps that use OpenGL-ES and it's not perfect but you should see the difference on the global-time app and the api-demos. The only other thing I tried was buka (from market) and it worked fine.

Let me know if you find any cool 3d apps to test it on.

Obviously this is still experimental and I don't know if it affects power consumption, you also give up 16M of memory but we have more available EBI memory than the G1 and Kaiser anyway so that shouldn't be a problem.

Now windows mobile uses will really be jealous.

More info and proper support for the project 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.

[lordhelmet]

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!

[Mike20PR]

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

[JJMiller35]

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!

This is great!

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

[spidercheck04]

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 ???

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.

[JJMiller35]

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!!

[Mike20PR]

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

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

[JJMiller35]

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

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

[wdbanks]

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?

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)

[JJMiller35]

Next we (sprint users) need some way to transfer our Contacts to it. Not even sure if that is possible.

[zkush]

when i go into settings i dont see my username.

[Metalmayhem]

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:)

[ncbabiboi]

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....

[ncbabiboi]

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.

[zkush]

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?

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...

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

[ncbabiboi]

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.

[ncbabiboi]

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!

[JJMiller35]

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.

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

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.

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
