any way to run ubuntu on blackstone? - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

hi everyone.
it's kingo, from my blackstone with energy rom 3.0 (nice rom!),and this is my first post.
i was wondering... is there any way to run ubuntu arm on our beloved brick? i assume it would be under haret, and would need some controllers for its linux kernel, isn't it?
if it is already possible, i'd be happy. if its not, would it be possible to create an ubuntu image for haret using the controllers thata re being developed for android?
thanks in advantage. i'm sorry if my english sounds like an autist monkey. blame the spanish state school...

I personally think thats an insulting reply from a senior member. A question was asked genuinely, no need for such remarks.

er, ok. you must be very fed up of people 'asking before searching' to anwer this way. I was the fool, so I'll keep MY sarcasm this time.
If it's been asked here before, it must be the first topic I google for and don't find xda treads.
I'll search to find out why mine is a 'stupid question'

I would personal like to see PSP OS on HD, both are using arm... right?
haha....

the question is reasonable in my point of view.
if theres a way for android... why should there be a way for (other) linux based OS.
k, maybe theres no need for it.. but hey, why reacting so harsh?

Obviously the HD doesn't fit the hardware requirements for the PSP OS.
¿Is it obvious that it doesn't fit the requirements for Ubuntu ARM? I don't know. That's why my post was a question. At least ubuntu code is free and many people try to port it to any suitable platform... And it can run on a 528 mhz and 288MB ram desktop computer, can't it?
I didn't expect to have compiz running smoothly on the HD. But Ubuntu Mobile, Ubuntu ARM, Ubuntu Embedded (I don't know the difference) are suposed to run on "embedded devices"...

Ok, first of attitude of a few people on this thread is disgraceful & insulting and I'll be contacting them shortly via PM.
Secondly, can I remind everyone this is a family website browsed by people of all ages, so try and keep language in check. This site is based on a community who share information, not insult each other. Please try and treat people the same way you would like to be treated!!
I'm closing thread to stop any further comments

Linux on htc toutch diamond

Well guys i am getting my htc toutch diamond soon.
My question is can u run linux properly under htc toutch diamond.
And i think dualboot will be the best so i can switch between linux and windows mobile 6.1.
But my main question is is this possible.
Or is it better to run linux in windows mobile 6.1 itself ?
Is this done before and will one of these methods will work ?
If u could anser these questions that would be nice.
Thanks in advanced!
S-E-A-R-C-H
There is a linux or the HTC Kaiser that might work with some modification
Rory
HTC Kaiser
yes i searched and i looked at the topic but they did not mention anything about dualboot and embed linux.
and there were some examples for embed but not for dualboot. but as i searched it looked not very promesing.
not a real manual to do something like it, if u know what i mean.
well it lookes like i got my answer, just follow the kaiser threat.
p.s. sorry for my bad english.
I tryed it on my HTC Diamond unsuccessfully...
It hangs up...

WinMobile system on HTC Desire/NexusOne?

Hello, I would like to know whether it is possible to have Win Mobile 6.5 installed on this mobile phone or not (HTC Desire). Please advise. Thank you in advance.
1. Wrong section.
2. Everything is possible if you make it. Is there currently a stable WinMo ROM? No, and I don't believe there will be.
There is something, though. It's called HTC HD2.

Sorry if this thread is not in appropriate section. Feel free to move it where it should be. I am new here.
Regarding my question, I don´t want to make flame what is better. The think is following. I had a HTC TP2 but it felt down from my tank-bag in 270 kmph. It survived but was damaged. My repair work was its end .o]
Now I am looking for some device which has suitable dimensions like HTC TP2 - Desire is OK, display res. 800*480, 1GHz processor. Of course I will try Adroid system, but I have many applications for WM, for example iGO8. So I am checking whether it is possible to change ROM and have there WM ROM. XDA developers are well known as a bunch of people who are able to do everything. I was searching forum slightly, but didn´t foind appropriate thread... Please help.

But you've been answered. No, there is no WinMo ROM for Nexus/Desire. No, the chances someone would want to make WinMo port for these devices in any shape or form is slim to none, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

That is the same troll, still here? I'm surprised. You should be buying another device and heading over to some other forums, instead of posting complete nonsense. You should at least be smart enough to understand that I've meant stable WinMo ROMs to run on Nexus, and not WinMo ROMs in general.
LMAO

Ohhh - did someone else have the same low opinion of android? Not surprising, considering how many people have thrown their n1 into a drawer until Google can fix some of the bugs.
If you meant WM roms for N1, why didn't you write that instead of writing it like a general statement? Troll posts like that attract deserving responses

running different OS on droid

Hi, i am wondering if we can run WM 6.5 or ubuntu on our phones?
Most WM 6.5 phones can run android( most htc`s - HD2 very good, samsung omnia)
iphone can run android
Then what droid can run? My friend told me, that he saw on kde`s site version for cortex a8, but now it is not available.
It will be great to run ios, WM 6.5 or UBUNTU, if someone knows something about this, please feel free to share info in this thread, thanks!
No problem

I believe this site has everything you need: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+on+android
No need for sarcasm. If you know the answer, tell him. If you don't, no need to post.
I'm interested in this too.
you CAN port ios, ubuntu, or winmo to the droid, but someone has to step up and do it. I meant there is an ios clone for the mytouch 3g, and then theres a droid that was home built that runs winmo 6.5, and someone got ubuntu on the nexus. all I'm saying is that it is possible if we have a dedicated dev
Im all in to help for whoever's interested. Dunno how much help I can be with coding but Ill do what I can. Id love to see winmo7 on the droid.
I ran android as well as ubuntu on my hd2.. just saying.. why not droid (the original developer phone)
i am still searching, but

How to brew up an android rom for htc hd7

Hello all! I jump from phone to phone when ever I can catch a broken one to fix for nearly free. I recently ran into an HTC HD 7 and am not really vibing to the windows mobile 7, and from what I read there is not currently a pre made rom available for installing android on this device. I am pretty technologically advanced and feel confident given the right direction on how to accomplish this I would be capable of creating one. I have read a lot of information but am some what lost mainly because of some of the lingo terminology, being that I haven't hacked/developed outside of the ios platform. I can program in just about any c based language. Any one got ne thing that can help me out here? If I build one how would I install it or go about uploading it to the device? Thanks in advance for any replies I do greatly appreciate all your time! I apologize about the noobness like I said ios is whats been available to me for the past few years, and now I want android like a kid wants candy!!!

Developers/programmers have been trying to figure out how to dual boot the HD7 (like the HD2) since it came out. The main problem seems to be how WP7 is compiled .NET and C#. WP7 securitys still aren't fully unlocked.
Take a look at the Project Haret thread, they seem to be making some progress at it and if you have the know how, maybe you can contribute.

Thanks for the heads up, appreciate the reply, btw where is the thanks button? sorry this is my second post here. I started to do some research into it. I believe the answer is in the coredll.dll file which may be stating the obvious. I think the way to go about accessing this or at least what I am going to try is an attempt to gain root access with my device tethered to my comp from terminal.

Your welcome! I've read through the whole Project Haret thread and there is alot of information, (some way to complicated for me) trial and error and it looks like as of recent there has been some good progress towards getting Haret to perform and (hopefully) run kernel mode and actually boot the kernel. You might be right, give it a shot or maybe put it on the thread and see what kind of feed back you get on it!
Is your device unlocked yet so that you can gain access to it and try it out?
Personally I would love to see the HD7 dual boot WP7 and Android. Don't get me wrong... I thoroughly enjoy WP7 and love my HD7it's very smooth, fast, stable and not once has it crashed on me. I believe that it would bring a longer life experience to the device and make it that much more versatile, especially since we're nearing the end of official support.
The thanks button should be there now, under the posts.

Ok so I realize I might sound like an idiot considering everything I said can be found within the haret documentation. I originally read something found on google with inaccurate information after you told me about the project, come to find out the information I read was in no way affiliated with the the actual project haha. Forgive my stupidy, I began to read and follow along the documaton for it at htc-linux.org, the only thing I am having issue with is obtaining haretconsole to explore the device. The link on the documentation I believe no longer exists, and I can't find a source anywhere! This is pretty good stuff though thanks for linking me up with it! Have you installed the development tools or haretconsole on a linux OS by chance? I was successful with the developement tools, just need to figure out this haretconsole problem. BTW which desktop OS do you prefer?
Sadly I can't tell if my device is unlocked yet haha. I work at a university doing LAN Administration currently and used my .edu e-mail to register as a developer. I then registered my device but don't see a single difference or maybe I just am doing something wrong. How do you suggest going about that(unlocking it that is, I don't care about it being official, just figured official would be easlier)? Also for the iPhone there is a desktop application which allows you to access the filesystem called iFunBox, is there anything similar for the wp7?
I would just love android lol, I like the HTC HD7 and have always been a fan of HTC products, It definately is pretty smooth and compared to my previous device a 3gs it's lightening fast! 3g isn't supported with the 3gs on t-mobile either. My biggest issue with wp7 is the fact it doesn't do anything I want to be done in a device, I use my mobile browser ALOT and I have never seen a browser period with this many bugs, I installed safari but it's not even the same lol! For the most part I strongly strongly dislike anything related to microsoft, but unfortunately I have to work with the windows platform quite often because of my job. There just such a dirty/shady/grimmy company period, I saw a commercial yesterday advertising bing where they claimed 2 out of three people choose bing over google in a blind study............how can they advertise that when they stole googles code! lol. Also it was a pretty dirty business move of microsoft to do what your talking about with the wp8. They claim there going to continue support on 7 but we both know they all say that and do put the effort towards the legacy system for a short period of time before cutting it. Screwing Nokia out of major growth potential within the U.S. while going back on the promise made to them regarding free upgrades to 8 for 7 devices. I think they feel like there invincible just because they currently run the desktop OS market share. I think their will likely be a major change in the preferred OS within the next 10 years, just because I work in an 30,000 user enterprise that refuses to upgrade their liscensing with microsoft because of windows 8's inability to meet our needs.
Sorry if this message way to long haha

Sorry its taken me so long to get back with you... Been crazy busy!
Unfortunetly I only have Windows OS, PC and Laptop. Funny enough though, I just got my laptop back from the shop a couple weeks ago and I had to have the harddrive replaced. Last week my PC got the BSOD (blue screen of death) and I had to completly wipe and restore it.
My next computer will be a Linux OS forsure. I wish I had one currently to install Haret and play around with it!
The student registration is limited and you can only sideload a max of 3 unasigned apps. You would be better off to fully unlock your device and install a custom rom, this will give you more options to sideload as many unasighned apps as you want in the form of XAP's through IE. Access to the registry/file system and to apply hack and tweaks. you can then familurize yourself with the OS and file system.
I can help walk you through the unlock process, it's pretty easy.
Go to settings, about, more info. post back all the information from that screen. Enter your device into bootloader mode - Power device off, hold down the volume down button and power the device back on, while continuing to hold down the volume down button, this will bring you into BL mode a tri-colored screen. Post back the information from that screen also.We can go from there. The proccess to unlock it basicially is to downgrade the SPL to 3.xxx or lower to install RSPL/HSPL wich will allow flashing of a custom rom.
My IE works excellent. It might be due to what build version that your device is running on. Either way once we get it unlocked there's custom roms running on Tango 8779 build with nice features and the device runs buttery smooth. there's also more mobile browsers available to install once it's unlocked, Opera Mobile,UC browser and a bunch more. There's all kinds of XAP's you can install to cusromize the device and enhance the user experience.
Totaly agree with you on the Android development for WP7 and the above statement regarding MS

Need general help with modding the X8 in 2021

So here's the deal. I got an old X8 with Android 1.6 from ebay a few months back for the fun of it and I've been trying to install cyanogenmod or something similar on it so I could use it as a portable emulation device. Now I'll be honest, I'm a complete noob. (My greatest computing achievement is installing Puppy Linux on a laptop 5 years older than the X8.) I've scowered these here forums and other places on the web far and wide but still came out unsuccessful. I couldn't even figure out how to boot it in fastboot mode, which was the hurdle that killed it for me. I think so far I've only managed to root the thing, whatever comes after just keeps flying over my head. So here's what I would like to do.
-Install apps capable of decently emulating systems such as the PS1, GBA, GBC, N64, MD, 32X...
-Connect a gamepad through USB or BT (If even physically possible)
-Preserve the media playback abilities of the device as it came, as well as the ability to take photos
-Being able to browse the web and watch videos would be kinda cool too but I know it's a stretch...
I know that all the stuff I need is probably still out there somewhere but as I said I am a *complete and utter* noob with honestly little skill and patience.
So if anyone here is willing to help me with any guidance (or perhaps even a step-by-step guide, oh my!) on how to squeeze the best out of the wee thing with the best ROM, be it Cyanogenmod or anything else, or get it to work with a proper controller with the best apps and stuff, I will be very grateful. I'll offer you my French skills if you need them lol. Also sorry for writing a text brick...
