Android (Working... well kinda... )

[drownage]

Hey devs,

So according to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=1#post2084090

It is possible to port the android platform on 7500... And I had though 7200 and 7500 are essentially same except for different carriers... So I was wondering if anybody can find a similar approach installing android on the kaiser...

PROOF of workign: http://ustream.tv/recorded/MCvuInWZt...HqiAUyBKjIDFx4

It didnt work for me when I tried it from SD either... Remember I used AT&T Tilt ROM... i want to hear if this works on other ROMS...
Oh and if it freezes after haret is done loading... then it is probably that u do not have A LOT OF space on ur main memory... So do a clean up and a clean boot up before u run this... remember, we're just emulating it right now... oh and its seems pretty fast after its loaded... of course, I am only judging this by the one thing I can do i.e. bring up the wallpaper setting dialog usign the OK button beside the DPad...

OMG it works...
No buttons.. OK buttons puls up some wallpaper setting.. but it loads in LINUX, terminating WM..

People try it out... You DONT have to flash ur phone to use it... You might have to soft reset it to quit since buttons dont work... ... im trying something to get buttons working...

EDIT: Btw, I am using AT&T Test ROM for now... was just testing it... It might work better with Dutty's ROM... Please let me know if any progress is found ...

Please share with us any details that you think might help us to reproduce this!

So confirmation it works on Kaiser? This vector would be more productive than sitting on our asses waiting for hardware-drivers from HTC/Qualcomm.

I dont want to seem like an ass, Im just happy and dont want to keep my hopes up because I have had to success, and trying to develop is hard when you cant even boot

LOL but this is jsut the beginning... This jsut tells us android is capable of running... so when ANDROID is actually released/unofficially released, we can port it on here... Because originally it was thought android wud not run on kaiser...

Proof posted ... now to soft reset to get work done


Oh and update... I tried to instead chnage the script to run a different initrd... one from actual SDK, but that was around 33 MB... and haret.exe complained it can only run images <= 25MB or so... So If anyone can get the latest SDK imaged and get it running... please post instructions...
