Project [ROM/ANDROID] Android fo HTC MEGA//Updated 15/01/2011

Hello guys,

Here is the official topic where I will write all information, news(good and bad) and everything what I will get in my developing.

I tried to run android for our devices at april, but it was so slow, so it boot nearly 2 days. But from that time I learned a lot to bring up android for our MEGA.

I hope to bring good news soon)))

News:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
28/11/2010: Project has been officially started. Please, do not post everyday "send me android to...", "when it will be?..." and so on. I will post news about any progress in developing, so-be patient. Write only if you:have any questions, bug reports about current version(which will be available soon, i hope); want to be in beta testers team; made/want to make a donation.

01/12/2010: For all of you, who wrote to me about beta test-you are accepted. I don't have an opportunity to write about it for each of you, so I do it this way.

About porting. Firstly, I will try to install android like "native" --> there will be no windows on MEGA after it. I have two ideas about how to do this, but before doing this I need to get some information about possibilities of doing this and after it I'll try to do this. If not-I'll need to recompile haret and do like others tryed-create android with haret.

Write to my PM or to my twitter(fisher51112) about what you want to see on your device:dual boot or "native" android.

05/12/2010: Sorry for "non text" update. There were bugs with opera, so it didn't change my post. For all of you-both sides-"dual boot" and "native"(sorry for my familiarity)-there are possible to do native boot of android, but it is dangerous(now) and I think there will be a problem with bios, but I'm not sure. For dual-boot "side"-I found today my haret7225))) I think I lost it))) It must working good, but I, of cource need to "play" with it to make this working. This summer I get it not working, but I got new errors without crashing WM or something else. I think I need to start from that, and resolve all errors to boot it up))

I also choose image for our mega. This is not tattoo, it something better))) I will use wildfire(buzz) image to use it on our device. It has more similarities in configuration and it will work better then others))

Beta testers-be ready)) When it will be ready, I will choose some of you to test it on your devices.

10/12/2010: I have some progress in developing. I get zImage which is suitable for our devices. Also I will create system.ext to make the first boot of android on mega

And I did some modifications to default.txt, so it almost ready)). If someone can help me to create system.ext - write to my email.

15/01/2011: Sorry, I didn't update news due to health problem. Project is not dead, of course, I will continue working on developing android for our device. It I will have any news-I will write them down here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Of course I will need some guys to test alfa versions of android. So, if you wanna be in beta testers team-write me in PM or in my email:fisher51112@gmail.com

Also, your donations will stimulate my work

P.s. Sorry for my language. I'm from Russia and my English not perfect. So be loyal))))

I think that haret will do it's work))) But if not, I will have to flash(but, in my opinion this is very difficult)

May I ask if you are planning to release the rom in some languages (i.e. russian and english only) or we'll have a wide variety of choices.

I ask because I don't know how it works, just wondering.

Android is multilanguage system. That's why there is no problem in translation.
