AndroidAthenaProject1.0

---

Introduction:

• I am proud to introduce "AndroidAthenaProject1.0" on behalf of the Athena Project Team! We have successfully ported Android to the Athena (More info about the Athena). This will be the official thread for optimizing and working out bugs related to Android on the Athena.
• YouTube Demo

News:

• 05/28/2008 - New update available: (Athena-Android "All-n-1" Release) (More Info and even more info). This update adds touch screen support and screen rotation applet. Video driver still needs a lot of work. Screen updates are slow. Coding decent video drivers will be my next priority and if anyone is willing to give a hand, please let me know. Thanks!

Athena/Android Resources:

• Download Android for the Athena (x7500/x7501/Ameo/etc...): Latest Release or Here (Click here for instructions)
  
• Git: https://github.com/mistadman/android-athena/. This should be easier for us to manage changes. Enjoy!!
  
• Diff and .Config (05282008): Download

Project Status:

1. Keyboard (not started) (A USB keyboard can be used for testing while we wait for drivers. See this post)
   
2. Touch screen (done):
   1. More info
   2. Testing/Bug fixes
3. Phone (not started)
4. Video(in progress):
   1. Correctly implement pan_display() function (double buffering)
   2. Speed improvements
5. Sound (in progress)
6. Wifi (not started)
7. Bluetooth (not started)
8. GPS (not started)
9. Camera (not started)
10. Sub-display (not started)
11. Accelerometer (not started)
    
12. Android Application Functionality(in progress):
    1. RotateView Applet added: (More info)
       • This applet lets you rotate the screen. Unfortunately, due to incomplete video driver, video performance takes a serious hit during rotation.

Here is small how to to start android on Athena.By mistadman


Download Android for Athena here(last build): http://rapidshare.com/files/11822973...82008.exe.html
free method(please use only when you cant you rapidshare) http://gymjs.net/~m.novak/Android-Athena-05282008.exe

Once downloaded, unzip and copy the unzipped files to a SD Card. The root of your SD Card should have these files:

haret.exe
default.txt
zImage
initrd-android

Once you have verified the files listed, insert the SD Card in to your Athena. From there just load up Windows Mobile and browse to your "Storage Card" in "File Explorer". Click on the file called "haret.exe", and once the program has loaded; click run.

Just remember that this is work in progress!

more info:
its only the system,the keybord is not working,screen isnt working.Just remember that this is work in progress!

Here is some plan what must we do(by mistadman):

1.) Add some Ati specific 3D acceleration (Double Buffering, Rotation).
2.) Optimize Power Saving...
3.) Add/repair touch screen driver.
4.) Add/create keyboard driver.
5.) Add sound
6.) Add phone driver support (be able to make a call).
7.) Add Wifi Driver.
8.) Get the camera working maybe?!?!

Keyboard?

As you can see on the post located here, they've written a simple onscreen keyboard. Maybe he'll give you the source for it and it wouldn't be hard to implement it into this kernel for future releases...
