Android is so awesome. Hope u guys can get it work on the Topaz. To bad i can't help u guys with it because i don't understand ppc's enough ( Topaz is my first PPC ).

Good luck!

will someone help us on the rhodium section we have a android section in roms please help us get android running on this awesome handset thank you

shadowline · Jun 8, 2009

we dont have any progress here yet, but id imagine it would be cross compatable. and im sure the rhodium will have the most work done on it with its more global release, and especially here in the states.

wiki

Hi All,

Is there a Android-on-Topaz wiki yet? i'm keen to start helping out with getting android working on the topaz.

I've been following the android on diamond thread for some time and firmly believe that the wiki is a much better way of sharing information than 200 pages of "is it done yet"

Thanks

Dicki

Absolutely.

I've been information gathering/hacking at the kernel but since there was no other devs and I haven't got much to work I haven't bothered writing up anything to wiki. If you're interested in getting involved, get in touch.

Is anyone working on Android for D2 at the moment?

This thread seems a little abandoned....

AMackay · Jun 18, 2009

I think only Wiggleraway is working on this at the moment. Lots of devs are still at work on android for the original diamond, and the touch hd.

Tiwaz · Jun 25, 2009

GRR, I hope some Dev is going to think about Android on Topaz. Android is soo awesome

Don't think anyone's working on this yet but I dumped the mddi client capabilities struct found in mddi_probe() of mddi.c. Looks like we've got a new mddi client manufacturer (Mfr_Name=B9F6).

Are you sure that it is correct ?
The known mddi cleient chips are

Code:

0bda_8a47 novatek
4ca3_0000 epson
d263_0000 toshiba

I think that teh topaz uses epson chip, like BLAC100.

Hi cr2, good to see you on the thread.
I'm confident I've got the right id in that dump. I've seen epson init code in the SPL however the SPL debug output reports a novatek controller with AOU panel which is unfortunate as neither company are very forthcoming with their specs. It looks like everything will have to come from reversing the SPL or ddi.dll. Do you you have any experience of the init code in either?

The panel id is defined by gpios 0x39 and 0x3a. I think you should start documenting things
like FB address in wince, gpios, etc.

I do need to get round to documenting the bit and pieces I have found however the limited time spend on this gets spent working towards getting mddi working, most of the other interfaces are very close to that of raphael's and should fall into place if/when we get mddi working.

shadowline · Jun 30, 2009

Glad to see that there are some of you that are looking into it. So mddi should be the only huge problem that we have vs the other Raphael builds? At least in theory?
Anyway, if you need me to update the first post and I happen to not be seeing the thread for some reason, feel free to PM me with what you need.
And hopefully once we get a working build, we can get it added to androidonhtc.com too.

great project, looking forward to more progress...

Great project.

Some information on blackstone linux config.

This I think is very interesting.

Sorry If i tell a mistake but I´m newbie as in speak english

In xatakamovil I saw that the hardware of Topaz and Hero were very similar, It´s possible take the hero as a point of begin to modify his soft to remplace it in topaz?
Sorry again.
Thanks.

WigglerAway · Jul 15, 2009

I've started writing up some stuff at http://www.htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=Topaz Atm I've only put down information I'm confident of. My time is still focused on getting the LCD running so there isn't a whole lot there. Anyone wanting to play around with this just scrap down any info you know on the wiki. It'd be great to start collaborating.

E-P-S · Jul 16, 2009

perhaps a nice idea.
i hope we can return to wm if it failed.

go on dudes

Landice · Jul 20, 2009

This is SO COOL!

I wants the Adroid running on my TD2 so badly! Too bad I don't have knowledge on this, keep on the good works guys!

Hmm.. maybe I should start reading up some stuffs and learning now, so that one day I might able to give some help..
