Hi everybody,
How are you?
Good? Okay.
Oh well, what did I want to say....please help me.... oh, yes, I know already:
First on the world:
I GOT ANDROID BOOTING ON MY HTC UNIVERSAL!!!!
Yes, yes, your dreams are now true, the Android boots on the Universal!
Kernel is still 2.6.21-hh20
Android version: 0.8
Notices:
It is a very-very-very ALPHA version: no touch screen, you can only use the built-in keyboard. Slow as the hell (because of it is only version 0.8). Screen driver is not very Android friendly: the displayed picture does some little jumpings (you can see it on the video above).
Nothing works:
GSM-it connects to the network (my friend could ring me, but I didn't see anything on the screen, such as "XY calling you..." and I couldn't aswer with the keys). Outgoing calls: they do not work (Android says: Calling.... and then you get back to the dial pad)
BT/WiFi-I didn't find any setting to control them. I think, it is because of the version of Android.
Programs included in this version of Android:
-Maps: without WiFi and GSM it is equal to nothing
-Browser: same as Maps
-Developer Apps: nothing special
-Dialing: explained above
-Contacts: nothing
So, I must say, that this is only a proof-of concept, that shows us: Android can run on the Universal.
Stay tuned, because I am trying to work on the 1.0 version also.
