Once your phone is Hardspl'd , you would have to make a real effort to brick it.
As far as Android goes, all Android for Kaiser is advanced alpha or beta. Again, read..read...read to find what is best for your needs.

So do you recomend to not chose Android, because it is just in beta?
Edit:
What can i do if i dont like Android/WM6,5? How do i find back to my original WM6,1? (With norwegian keyboard)

reflash your old rom.

I started with the tutorial to, and it works completely. if you do it that way.. Its impossible to brick it. Once you installed Hard SPL, it shouldn't be a problem ever, + you have to follow that tutorial once, after that you can just open the exe files, and start flashing fast. Aslong as you are sure that you installed HardSPL, And NOT soft spl. If you want to install a rom, you should read the thread about it carefully. Otherwise you might not have sound, or camera wont work etc.

Okay, but is it a way to get norwegian keyboard on WM6,5 or Android?

Don't know if this will help you:

I don't know if it is compatible with Android.. I'm not that familiar with Android, I have only tried it once. But in my opinion it isn't a full usable OS

So you dont recommend Android?

Personally Android on the Kaiser is still in the early beta stages, you still can't even boot straight into Android yet,you have to boot WM or Linux and then launch Android manually, plus there are still some basic kaiser functions that are still a little iffy on the Kaiser ports.
If your are a reader and tinkerer then by all means try. But if you are expecting to get a " Hero " or a " myTouch " out of your Kaiser, it is not going to happen and you should just stick with a good 6.5 or an even better 6.1.

Yea right. In my opinion Android is slow on a Kaiser. Because of the slow Processor. Thought it looks nice.. But not fully usable for personally use.

New Kitchen - Pandora Variant - Problems with NBSplit...

I'm trying to port over the Pandora kitchen from the Hermes to the Herald, but I'm running into a problem with the scripts it uses to build the ROM. I just realized... I should go home and check the scripts that Hypercore uses to see if they have the answers... lol
Anyways, I'm having a problem with the splitting and merging of the nb files. I thought I finally had it figured out but I don't... I'm not home right now so I can't post the code, but I was wondering if anyone had successfully used the NBSplit, NBMerge and all the imgfsTools with the Herald?
Thanks in advance!
you dont need to do so, those tools are in hypercore, and are a part of the package.
I cant even begin to understand why you wanna start on doing that.
But if you must, then you must...

I don't want to do anything. I was just going through all the scripts and was just updating them to work with the Herald. When I get home, I'll read through all the HyperCore scripts.
It's a BuildOS kitchen: "Choose the program you want and then click on build" type of thing.
BTW, I gotta note, not one person has been very supportive of my efforts doing this... except for the Pandora kitchen maker himself... *sigh*
Kinda discouraging. (The only thing keeping me away from HyperCore originally was the lack of a "clean" ROM to start with. When I finally got comfortable with it, I realized that it'd be nice to have a simple way of making "quick" ROMs for people who didn't have the time to figure it all out.
dude good luck to you. more people working with the herald just make it better. there aren't that many custom roms it has to speak of. i hope that you are successful and I can't wait to test it out when it's done!
Thanks.
I got past that error I was having and I'm pretty much ready, except that I still don't have a clean ROM to start out with. I'm still working on that one. And I still have to add certain packages. I won't know if it works until I can get a clean ROM to work on, though.

What do you mean by a "clean ROM"? Can't you use an official HTC base ROM?

Well, I still need to know what the differences are between the herald and the atlas. I was trying to use a wing rom and clean that up, but MAN, tmobile clutters up that rom... when I get home, I'll do just that. I still need to know what the differences are so that I can create different configurations to choose from in the kitchen... (Touch-IT's itje... Hear my call. lol)

Android on a HTC Touch Viva

Hi Folks,
I use a HTC (Touch Viva T2223), I was not sure if this Vogue or Opal. (I have a RAM – 128 MB, Flash Size – 256 MB). Can you please redirect me to the download link of the Android Kernel.
I am not aware on flashing my mobile. Please let me know, how do I do the same. Will the language setting be a problem? I am referring to the keyboard layout.
Also, it would great if you can share information on how do I go back to Windows Mobile, if I had any problem with Android? How will I load Windows on it again?
Thanks in advance for clarifying my queries.
Cheers'
Vijay
Viva = Opal
At the moment, there are now Android builds for Opal. The only thing on these
forums related to Linux is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462188
I only got my device less than a week ago, but I'm planning on experimenting with this when I can. However, I'm still far from being an expert. So I'm not sure how helpful I'll manage to be.
hmmmm...Thanks for your reply dude!!
Well, dont we have a kernel for our mobile Yet? Doesnt the same build of Touch fits in?

Apparently there are three "Touch"s: "Vogue", "Elf" and "Elfin".
Vogue has a different processor so it's useless. Even though Android can run on it right now.
As for the other two, the difference between them is RAM and ROM sizes. The ELF has less than the min required for running Android so it's a no go.
And nobody managed to get Android to work on Elfin yet (at least as far as I managed to find). Although it's running another Linux build.
Great to know that, the progress is being made..and now we hv a linux on.
Things which amazes me is, HTC touch with lesser RAM, is running Android.!!
Well, Do we have any basic requirements for loading Android OS? I mean, required RAM? Does the email in Android support Microsoft Exchange server?
Heylo Folks.. Any luck on Android for our Opal?
I have one now and guess if its possible.. there is a video that shows it working :S

Android on HTC Touch Viva
Hi guys,
Sorry if any of this was addressed on any other forum (or thread); I looked around for a little while but couldn't find it...
I have a HTC Touch Viva (T2223 - Opal) running WM6.5 after flashing it a couple of months ago. Battery issues appart I'm quite happy with it (sort of, since the only improvement was really the looks on the GUI and now my keyboard is limited to English only). However, this Android thing has been banging on my head and I am looking for a ROM that will make it on my device.
Any clues were I can find it?
Thanks in advance.

I think what D#1 is that if Android is available for opal itself right now.
Well to that question the answer is yes and no, yes because it exists and is functional and no because its not complete and has umpteen number of glitches. Ppl have been working on it for sometime now and I think we need to show them some appreciation for their consistency even with no incentive at sight.

Hi, thanks Mr. Zeus... Does that mean I should revert to the original WM 6.1 ROM prior to try to run android on my device?
If so, is there any place I can retrieve the 6.1 original ROM for the touch viva t2223?

Xperia X1 The best setup?

Hello!
This is my first post in the forum.
I recently got a X1 prototype to play with, im all new to WM Phones. So i dont know what to do and not to do.
What i personally feel is that X1 is kinda slow, but from what I've read I understand that some people has customized their own stuff for the phone to make it faster than it is with original firmware (or what its called)
My question to you guys/girls is: What is the best setup for the phone to make it run smooth but, what ROM should i use, if someone could put up a simple guide with links so what i need to download, the best roms, best appz.
Note that i dont want a GUI that looks like win 3.11. I still want it to look good. Not neccecearly with just spb shell.
Anyone that reccomend putting WM 6.5 into X1?
Anyway, the best stuff so the phone will run at its best!
That would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
Edit: A list of "what to do" would be good, stuff i need to do before doing anything to the phone, to make sure i wont brick it.
Welcome .
I see that you are looking for the perfect setup and the easiest way of doing it, just like me, when I first came here. The short answer is that there is no such thing .
It all comes down to personal preference when WinMo is concerned. I can tell that you have read a bit, so my advice is to continue reading and do a lot of experimenting to see what you might like. You might like a stripped ROM that is blazingly fast and has only the basic features. You might want a slower, but fully stocked phone with every app available.
I can bet that if someone from the forum picked up my X1 he wouldn't like it and vice versa.
Maybe you should start with the ROMs that are specifically made for speed and smoothness and see if you like them. Just read the descriptions.
Cheers .
Hello! Thank you for your reply.
I almost figured that i would get a reply like yours. As we say in sweden: Smaken är som baken, delad = One mans meat is anothers poison. Ofcourse its hard to find the perfect setup.
But according to my directives (Going fast, but still pretty neat) As you said. Its either the basics = going fast, or a fully stocked = slow phone.
Isn't it something in between? A setup that contains both the basic features, but also some neat GUI.
And if someone has got any experience from WM 6.5 on xperia X1, please tell if it worked good.
Are they any ROMs more popular than others, if i put it that way....There must be something that a slight majority likes.
Is it even possbile to do something with a prototype?

Your problem might also be hardware, rather software. Prototypes usually don't have the same "guts" as their commercial, mass produced siblings. Some have less RAM, or a slower processor, or less internal memory, etc.

Im with you there. Its not the first proto i have, so im aware that hardware may not be the same as retail. But still..firmware can do much, eventough ram is lesser than the retail (256) I have R1A at the moment.
I will post some device info. Just so you know whats inside the phone.

Radioversion: 1.06.25.29
Protocall version: 52.43.25.24U
CPU: QUALCOMM(R) 7200A

Flashmemorysize: 512 MB
Database: 32 Bit
StorageSize: 281.58 MB
Bluetooth-Version: 2.0/2.0+EDR
Firmware: R1AA017
ah yes the R1A firmware. that's what i had on my X1i when i first got it. when i upgraded to the R3A....it was BEYOND the difference between night and day. it was like night vs standing on the sun.
to get the ball rolling, i would recommend getting the Sony Ericsson Update Suite from their website, and updating the phone through their automated system. it will bring you up to date on the R3A rom and it's painfully easy, so it will give you a taste of what's to come...

I totally agree - I run the Valkyrie ROM and it's absolutely amazing! I will recommend flashing it any day. One of my co-workers has the same ROM, and he's also amazed.
One thing to notice: If you're from Sweden, you might want to stay clear of the Manila versions. For me (from Denmark) I can't run the Danish keyboard settings while running Manila, and that's a total deal-breaker. After all, you want to take advante of full QWERTY, right?
Manila is what you might know as Touch Flo from HTC phones. IMO you should avoid that, go with Valkyrie's Xperio ROM (without Manila) and use the SPB panel (free). Then you have a really strong setup!
But hey - that's just me

Great, thanks for the info, i was kind of unsure what version of a rom i should install
If you're still feeling your way around, install the official Sony Ericsson R3A ROM. No need to Hardspl, and you'll still have the same interface that you're used to.
I cant install R3A :S
It says "No image found" bootloader.
And the card is FAT32, and the file is named Kovsimg.nbh
And yes, its placed in the root of the Card.

First of all: If you want the original firmware, don't take it from XDA - take it from the SE official program.
Second: If you want to install a cooked ROM, first run HardSPL. This only works in some of my USB-ports, and only without inserting the memory card.
Once HardSPL is installed, you need the Kovsimg.nbh file...
Hope it helps

For X1...

I just want a ROM that is:
1. Unintsallable
2. Fast, stable and glitch-free.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
6. Landscape mode preferred.
As you may have guessed, im a noob. But I just wanted to know as there is like a sea of ROMs and it becomes very difficult for a person not very knowledgable like me to pick one. I just want 2 things most importantly, that it shud be panel-installable and shud support landscape mode, along wiht being stable.
Thanx a ton guys!!
I don't understand your 1st and 3rd point. All roms can be replaced.
I personally dislike having Touchflo as is a bit unstable for me. If you want 6.5 I've used this for weeks, the barebones version, link and its been pretty stable on me.

Read what I typed above in red.
tahnx Im Packing...
though i get your humour(and frustration with the number of noob questions being asked everyday)
but plz understand, I am an original noob. I dont understand wht u mean by "cook your ROM"
also, the very fact i have posted this Question, is that there are so many ROMs.
Like see, there are many ways to run a Mac on ure PC (iAtkos, Kalyway etc) but I used Kalyway..so here i cant find my Kalyway...
is ITJE's ROM good??heard about it...
plz suggest specific ROM so that i dont have to do a lot of RND with my (brand new) phone...thanx a lot once again.
Here is my suggestion for you. Just try a rom for one week and see which one fit you the best. It's very easy ans SAFE to install new rom and every rom has it plus and minus. I personally install different rom every other date because i want to have the newest stuff for my phone.
I think you misunderstand what ROMs are. I think you should read the Wiki first. Then read the stickies. Then if you have questions try searching first, and then you should fire away with questions.
The questions you are posing now are not ROM related they are software related. If you really want to flash a ROM then you should first read what a ROM (Read-Only Memory) is and why you would want to flash one and what HARD-SPL is and how to prevent bricking. If you are not ready for a custom ROM then perhaps you should just stick to some of the many cabs that are available here.
Hopefully this will give you a starting place. Just opening a thread to ask nonsensical things is not going to be productive for you, and will only confuse or irritate more experienced members. If you have a basic understanding everything should fall into place after that. Good luck.
Thanx Hannigan174..i appreciate ure help and apologize for posting this Question. u are right, i actually dont understand what ROMs are in trems of X1....
But i wil take ur suggestion...i wil first try out diff ROMs and then post a query...
I understand what you want: a theme or a application not flash your phone with another ROM, is it?
Try check this out... and this ... also try this
Also you may check this one and this
Good luck

what you see is the Manila user-interface, can be any ROM currently had it cooked unless stated differently. And it can be of 2.1 or 2.5 (Leo), and installable under pure or clean rom.
Just read the stickies first under the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM development thread. First step, you're going to need to flash HardSPL, then flash any ROM you like with the Manila interface.
This/URL] is one of the example, always read last pages to see the current issues on the latest build, then pick your choice
thanx a lot deep throat...i wil try out different ROMs and see which is the best. Also, i just got my X1 and it has 9 movies..but i can unlock only 1....can i be a little greedy and unlock atleast 2[my GF wants to see Zohan and I want to see Da Vinci...u know how GFs are...]

I dont really get it... what did you mean by unlocking ? and what 9 movies?
my micro SD card has 9 movies...MIB, da cinchi code..etc... can unlock it..i have a Sony Pictures app also..it lets me see the trailer of each film and then i can unlock the whole film..and watch it
the more i read, the more im gettin confused...there is this software on one hand cutsomRUU...
then there is a cab availbale, then there is also the hardUSPL or something...
this is just getting more complicated, im eading the sticky threads but to no avail....can any1 plz help me how to get whats in the video..step by step with links...plz, its a humble request...
everything is explained in this sticky thread. just follow the steps. do a backup of your important data before u start

but i really think u have no clue what u are facing by flashing ure device. every data on youre phone (not those on youre storage card) will be lost and all the programms u installed will be gone so u have to reinstall them after flash. by flashing ure device u will completely remove everything thats on ure phone and relace it with the new rom. did u ever updated youre device via seus?
the sony pictures app will be gone also and then u probably will not be able to watch your movies u have on youre card. unless u have this as a cab somewhere.
I've always recommended SPB Warehouse Backup. I made a thread, though nobody commented on it...but IMHO, and I gtrab and Siruis [X] are now using them, it's the best backup/restore program out there. It allows you to restore all your PIM and programs after flashing your phone.
The trial allows you to use it for 5 times before having to purchase a license. It's well worth it as custom ROMs are coming out every couple days or so, it saves time, effort, and the frustration of having to constantly restore your phone manually.

Andriod 2.2

i want to develope a rom with android 2.2 for the HTC imagio but have no idea where to start. need some help
cant wait android 2.2 running on Imagio .... need some help
First off, if you would search before you post, you would know that you can't make an 'Android' ROM for a windows mobile phone. You Can however install a package that allows you to boot XDAndroid.
Blackstone build (which is most likely compatable with the whitestone) here
And if that doesn't work, well you're pretty much out of luck.

The HTC Vogue is a WinMo phone with members very actively developing Android ROM's. My Vogue runs Froyo when I give it break from WinMo. I do boot from the SD card, but many boot straight to Android, with no Windows mobile to be found..

Exactly. I have 3 vogues that all boot Android 2.2 from NAND, so yea, don't listen to Dean. If HE would have done HIS research, he would have known all about that.
Please build an Android ROM for the Imagio.

Subscribed. Wishing this to come a reallity.
id like to see this also
okay great, so who's working on it?
Can one of you just try using the blackstone ROM please and let the rest of us know if it works?
You can always flash back to stock, so someone just try it.
My old Vogue just died, and getting a replacement is $90 since it is discontinued - OR - I can get an Imagio for $50 with my new-every-two deal.
Since I want to stick with Android, I need to know.
-edit-
nevermind...Imagio has forced data plan...VZW jerks! Guess I will stick with the Vogue replacement (no forced data required)
If you want android *DONT* get the HTC Imagio, nobody is working on it...
Android uses Apache License

I completely disagree with you, are you really a developer?, look at the Apache License in wikipedia
Free software can be modifyed !!
Do you still want to develop Android for the Whitestone?
I know where to start !!

Agreed...ThaDeanesta doesn't know what he/she is talking about. There are tons of Android ROMs for Windows mobile phones. The most active community is probably the HTC Vogue/HTC Touch forum for custom Android ROMs running on stock WM 6.1, 6.5 devices.
It booted (i guess) !!

Try this:
[Hi, i was ale to boot yesterday but i found a problem with the LCD screen, it is not recognized and is blank, i think maybe we can work it out using the correct command line arguments in the startup.txt HaRET file
Please try it, i need help:
http://www.4shared.com/file/h9LTDTdp...imagiotar.html
The screen is blank, but i know it boots because it turns off the screen after a minute and responds to the "send" buttom and turns on, also it created a data.img and FSCK0000.REC file
There's a lot of work to do but we are on the right way !!!
