:( does anyone have any more ideas for me to try? Maybe someone can walk through what they did to get it working in idiot proof steps so im 10000000% sure im doing this right.

I absolutely hate wm 6.5 and going back to it from my Iphone is.. hard.. to say the least.

I used these steps:

• Inserted brand new SD card into Imagio.
• Mounted Imagio to laptop via USB
• Formatted SD card with HP format tool (this took a LONG time).
• Downloaded xdandroid package on my laptop, and unzipped it.
• Copied files from the WM 1 folder to the root of the SD card.
• Properly unmounted SD card from laptop and disconnected USB cord.
• Used Total Commander to navigate to the SD card.
• Clicked on Haret.exe.

From there, it booted on its own.

So I just activated my Imagio so I could use data in Android ... problem is, everytime i try to turn off airplane mode, Android crashes. Tried doing a factory reset and that didn't work. Any other ideas?

Edit: Nevermind, I just found via Google that deleting data.img is the same as doing a hard reset. That did the trick.

Sorry for not replying guys. Development is kinda stalled right now cause real life is tugging at me. You know how it is.

Just wanted to let you guys know that the project is still alive and well and I'll get back to work as soon as school and work let up a little. ;)

Nah. But I'll think about it. Certainly not before next release. Gotta give you guys something more meaty to play with.

Literally never heard of this phone until today. Buying one for 15$, DEFINITELY trying this out! Looks amazing.

There was about a month in fall 2009 when this was the best phone available on Verizon, which happened to be when I was looking to get my first smartphone. A month later the original Droid came out, and whatever modest advertising Verizon had planned for the Imagio disappeared.

Hey guys, just dropping in for a quick update. I've been swamped at the university, that's why you haven't seen any progress here. I'll be done by late august. Expect a development sprint for a month or two after that ;)

Project is definitely not dead.

By the way, kkddcclloo's speaker change does work but I couldn't get the GPS to work. Anybody else try it? You basically need to mount your system.ext2 filesystem image and add those files.

    Well, after about two months of work we're ready to release the first public pack of android for whitestone. I know you guys have waited a long time for this and it's probably too late for most by now, but here we are! And we have Gingerbread with a bleeding edge 3.3 kernel :eek:

    Download:
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38620067/imagio/WD1.7z
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38620067/imagio/WD 2.7z

    Source code: All patches welcome. Just attach them to this thread or some other file locker online (Or pm me for email)
    https://gitorious.org/linux-msm-whitestone/linux-msm-whitestone

    How to use this:
    • You need an SD card. I recommend a clean one (Use HP USB storage format tool to wipe it good)
    • Place the entire contents of the pack into the root of the SD card. (That means the top directory)
    • Run "HARET.EXE" from windows mobile. You'll see flying text. Give it some time, first boot takes a while.
    • Enjoy!

    This is a work in progress and as such you'll find that somethings are working and some are not.

    What works:
    • Radio: Calls (Tested on CDMA only. Tell us if you have GSM)
    • Data.
    • SMS.
    • Androidy goodness in general.

    What doesn't work (yet):
    • WiFi.
    • G-Sensor.
    • GPS.
    • Camera.
    • HW3D (Done. Will deploy on next release)
    • Media, windows and back keys.
    • Bluetooth

    That last item is interesting. Since not all the keys are working we've mapped them like this to make the phone usable:
    • VolUP = Menu key
    • VolDOWN = Back key
    • Power = power key.
    • Send = end key.

    Known issues:

    • Data is not working?

      You need to edit (from android) the file at "/init.cfg/init.gingerbread.rc". Find the line that says:

      Code: 
      service pppd_gprs /system/bin/pppd /dev/smd1 defaultroute local usepeerdns \

      and change it for this one:

      Code: 
      service pppd_gprs /system/bin/pppd /dev/smd7 defaultroute local usepeerdns \
    • Phone doesn't wake up sometimes?

      This is an unresolved issue. The first thing you need to do is deactivate "auto backlight" in both window mobile and android. It will work much better that way but you will still have trouble sometimes. If its not waking up then just suspend it again and wake it up once more until it does. Sometimes it gets stupid, be patient.

      This will be annoying when you have incoming calls and you can't see the screen. Just blindly swipe the answer slider and it'll work. The phone is awake, just not showing anything on screen. Touchscreen and everything works though.

    That's about it for now. Let me know how it goes.Enjoy!

    Thanks to everyone on xdandroid and htc-linux for their undying and monumental support of our misguided efforts :D

    EDIT 05-12-2012: Download links updated. I put up a second release. It was the one we devs were using but I can't remember what was new in it. Not much, probably just the hardware 3d acceleration. Development has pretty much stopped on this, sourcecode is on GIT if anyone wants to pick it up.

    What does getting the GPU working do for us exactly? Forgive my newbie question.

    Well, it let's you play some games. Sometimes the games can be software rendered but that's quite slow. The GPU lets you accelerate that (like your video card) and allows you to play other games that do require it.

    It's quite old though, the GPU. Don't expect to play the latest games, but hey it's something!

    Angry Birds does run. It's super slow though :p We did some benchmarks against the Rhodium guys and we're pulling in just about the same FPS, so if they can play it chances are we can too.

    Hi.
    I have Imagio and I run Android, and when I have call, screen does not light up. I tried to change the "auto brightness" but to no avail. Maybe someone has found a way, this fixed a bug?

    And how to edit the file "init.gingerbread.rc"? I can not find an editor or a file manager in Android.

    Thanks.

    You should pull the file using ADB, like I mentioned. Edit it on your PC and then push it back into your phone.

    The screen failing to light up is a known bug. We haven't found fix for it yet. You can answer your calls by "blindly" sliding the unlock to answer the call :p
