Welcome to the Nike Android Port Wiki page

This has a lot in common with Kaiser and Polaris projects. Indeed, part of the code we are using comes from these projects.

Some of the builds are day to day usable if you don't need the camera or bluetooth. If you have a question, please go to the forum

You can find files and information on the (abandoned) Android thread here DEVELOPERS: If you want to help, contact the nike forum. There is work for everyone!

Nike Research

Here you can find some information about the internals of the HTC Nike:

Minimal Requirements

This project is on development, but there are some things to check before trying to run Android:

  • Use recent Radios: 1.71.09.01 should be the one you use, you can find it here
  • Have, at least about 350 Mb of free SD space for the boot kits and about 600 Mb for installation on ext2 partition.
  • Have as much free RAM as possible. If it doesn't work at first, try doing a soft reset and try again.
  • All files you download should be either in \Storage card or \Storage card\andboot depending on the build

Parameters for default.txt

You can set some parameters on the kernel commandline:

Choose board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=0 if you have a 20 key Nike (english).

Choose board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=1 if you have a 16 key nike.

Choose board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=2 if you have a 20 key Nike (french - azerty).

Choose board-htcnike-keypad.keypadlayout=3 if you have a 20 key Nike (german - qwertz).

board-htcnike-keypad.sticky_timer_time_ms=XXX keypad time out after pressing a key. With this you can tune how much time the the phone will wait to set the last character typed. This way you can type faster, by using values between 350 or 500 if you write fast, or a little more in case you miss-type.

board-htcnike-keypad.slide_override=0 put this to 1 if you want to disable slider reporting.
