Does anybody think it will be possible for the OS on the Google phone to run on our PPC-6800's? please excuse my noobness if this has already been discussed but I was just curious.

Just follow the directions and everything should be groovy. Enjoy! :-D

I would like to add that it's really a "beta" and shouldn't be used as your "main" OS; as it's nowhere close to 'ready' (at least in my opinion) for this device.
I mean; go ahead and check it out, but don't expect it to be your phone's primary OS.
It was way cool to check it out and play with it but still very unstable but its getting there.
Cant get it to boot
Well I downloaded the files to boot it and i click on the harot boot exe hit run and then it hangs. Where are the actual directions on how to run it? Is there any?

You might want to put the files on a different SD card as I think it needs to be on a Fat32 partition.
It is a 512mb formatted to fat32 and it still doesnt work. I downloaded the android zip and not the sdk though if that might be the problem.
I actually figured out my problem. i kept all of the files in the folder and didnt extract to the root. my fault.
Do I have to install that heret bootloader first or should the olipro one I have work?
boot loader
No olipro is not even part of this. All you have to do is put all of the files in the root of your SD card and run it like an app and linux will boot. Keep in mind that there are so many bugs in it that you will never want it as ur primary os
development
Is anyone currently working on / developing a workable Android OS that we can flash, as opposed to using the Haret.exe file to essentially shell over Windows Mobile?
I installed this in the last couple of days, and have been able to make calls, access Google Maps, the browser, etc....but have no access to the keyboard, an on screen keyboard, etc.
I'd be willing to help test out anyones work if so. Thanks!
none of the buttons on the mogul works. a few of the keys work on the keyboard.
Update.
Join the HTC-linux chat channel.... If you want to help out. So far not many people on there own a Titan, so i've been trying to do my best to help out... The guys on there are extremely helpful... They will walk you through everything, and if you give them the information that they need, they will be able to develop more things for our titan... We are working on getting the keyboard working as of right now.... if you go in there... talk to dcordes, ginge, or ali1234... they will help you out... Like i said if we get more people in there we will be able to use Android to it's full capabilities... DZO has it working almost perfect on the Vogue.... The touch screen is still kinda wild in my opinion.... So we need to find a way to improve that as well...

When I get done with this Hurricane B.S. here in Texas i'll get with this guy and see if I can port any of it over.
Also something I'm interested in. Windows Mobile is tiring me, and I honestly would feel more comfortable running my phone on a *nix. Plus, it seems like Android is gaining momentum where WM seems to be losing it.

We just need ppl to get the keyboard and buttons on the Titan to work on Android. It will be done in good time, it's just there's no timeframe.
I've noticed that the touchscreen is quite flaky, too. Frankly, I think that's higher-priority than some of the hardware buttons.

...in that a single device has been launched from naught?
WM device sales have not decreased... Revice your statements and be honest. Android is immature. Particularly in that it lacks choices in software and suffe from odd OPEN development hesistency from Google. Android is a nice toy but it is not yet ready for widespread adoption. So, again, let's be honest and drop the rah-rah Android versus WM hyperbole.
It will great to have another OS to run on our HTC phones -- particularly the Titan -- but Android is unlikely to be on par to what WM provides within the useful lifespan of our current devices. As such, Android on the Titan is a great developmental toy.
Problems with tha applications !!
Hey !! i have run the haret.exe on my mogul but i have some problems, one of them is the calibration, it looks like the calibration of the screen is not the correct but anyways, that is not the main problem, the main problem is that i dont know how to close and application , i have tried with all the buttons and the application doesnt close, so i have to reset the mogul to start again.
The version on this link http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ is the correct one to the PPC6800?? or what is the correct version for the mogul??
Thanks in advance for your help !!

The buttons are complicated...to tell you the truth i hold down a bunch of random buttons on the keyboard...hahaha... but hold on... i'll try to map them right now...
Q = unlock
Q = menu (WHILE INSIDE PROGRAMS)
Shift = QUIT
Windows button = QUIT (one might be minimize, idk for sure)
hope that helps...make sure your getting the newest Android release... DZO has 1.0 on his website...http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
hi guyz i want to buy this xperia mini pro soon, could you give me some feedbacks? the quality, speed, performance, camera, & problem etc.
if i want to purchase what should I check it? and how to check/test it (basically i check wifi,sms/call,camera/video ) what i mean is for the speed, performance, etc that can i locate the problem or defect..
And...This phone can play actually in facebook games like holdempoker, tetris?(which i mean support flash 10.3?) , and for the updates, is this possible can upgrade 2.3.4 soon?
it is true that Manufacturing dates affected in xperia mini pro regarding noise background, camera blurred, annoying screen when slide keyboard
(you can check under your battery for the build date of your device)
Here are the list affected:
* 11W28
* 11W29
* 11W30
* 11W31
Is this true?
and do you have own 11W32 manufacturing dates which has no defect like issue above?
I bought this phone and had used it for a month and I have no regrets. Its fast and awesome. I couldn't believe sony would make such a great phone at this price. Its almost equal to the big 'Xperia's.
I would definitely recommend this one.
There are certain problems, of course. I'm not on facebook, but yes it supports flash player 10.3. Calls are normal, messaging app is simple(no prob for me). But you can always use 3rd party apps.
Camera is not that good for still shots. I've used nokia phones n95, n97mini and they are way better. Video camera is the best Ive seen(that's because this is the only camera with hd recording that I've seen). I've heard of the noise problem too but I didn't care. It doesn't happen everytime you use the camera. About the battery problem, I'll check later. There's no annoying screen( I don't know what you mean) when you slide keyboard or use autorotate. But the space key is very annoying. You might want to check that before buying. I have to press it two to three times for it to work. Maybe I got a defective product, but anyway its the thing I hate the most out of this phone. And yes, it can be upgraded to 2.3.4 coming this october I think.
Feel free to ask more...

wow thxs for your great informative response.. If i download 3d games like asphalt 6 or battlefield etc it required to root it first?.. and it is recommend to root new phones like 1 week old (i know it will void warrantly, but how about the other disadvantage in rooting?)
for android os, the spec shows that 2.3 but all users has 2.3.3 . I am little confusing about this, is they manual flash to get 2.3.3 or if I buy it actually 2.3.3 already?
for the annoying screen while slide keyboard check this youtube and forward @13:11 and i have found out other user crossed this issues but i lost that link but it is similar to these. . .

Mine is already at version 2.3.3 when I bought it. So no flashing needed.
I'm on slow gprs internet right now so I'll watch the video later. I forgot to tell you that an annoying colourful screen appears sometimes when I open many apps and games at the same time and then pressing the home key to go there. Not that the screen stays like that, but it happens very fast but you will notice it. I happen to see pink and green lines. You might have seen such a thing on PCs(it happened on mine). It freaks me out so I never did that again. I used taskmanagers for switching.
If you buy licensed games, I don't think rooting is needed. I haven't thought of buying just yet, and don't intend to root my phone till my warranty runs out. I'll have to study more about rooting before doing it as I'm new to android OS. I'm satisfied with playstation games at the moment.

ahh okay.. I am also new in android OS. So I will wait couple of months before proceed in rooting. (seriously I'm scared when attempting to root especially when they warn you like "rooting procedure incorrectly may have brick your phone" LOL. For the wifi did you check it before you purchase? it seems few users also encounter in wifi which unable to connect. . Maybe when I purchase this phone I know what you mean in taskmanager
rooting itself will not void your warrenty, as it can easily be undone as if you never tampered with the device. However, there is no easy way to root the phone (as in superoneclick or gingerbreak) and requires unlocking the bootloader which will void your warrenty.
I've heard that rooting can be undone, but is it a simple process or does it involve flashing a rom? I'm scared of flashing my phone. I've never done it even with my previous windows mobile and symbian phones.
And delmarz, about the wifi thing, I never checked 'cause I know I won't be needing it. But I've tried wifi tethering with my xperia and other phones which connected from mine ran with the same speed as in mine(alone). (...but seriously, I don't know which phone gets the credit in this case)

Root itself lets you have total control over the android system. I haven't rooted mine because I dont see the need to. Everything runs perfectly.

Not rooting ya android phone is like having a pretty young GF and not boning it every night.
It lets you install some very useful apps, get rid of the horrible bloatware crap networks install, and gives you full control of your device.

One really useful thing is that it is possible to take a backup of all the program's setting, game acheivements etc. This is not possible with a non rooted phone. The backup programs can't access the app db if not rooted.
If you need to reset your phone for some reason, at least your work and progress isn't spoiled.

Congrats, welcome to the family.
You downloaded the .apk file or the 'sdcard' data? For sdcard data, you can google where to put it (plus there should be an info from the site you downloaded). For installer (apk file), keep it anywhere. Try refreshing your folders or close the window and open again(if you're searching from pc). There should be no problem locating from the phone itself with any file manager.
Otherwise, use application installer from menu. It will automatically search for it. Careful though, nfs shift is the app that started the 'annoying screen' in my phone. I downloaded the installer and installed it, then started it, while downloading its data, I pressed home and then whoosh the pink-green-blah blah blah screen came in a flash. Most android users will try nfs first, don't worry.
Hello!
Advantage from rooting:
Full control over the device.
Disadvantage from rooting:
Losing capability of DRM reproduction and the trackid feature/app

Don't really need that. Just open application installer from the app drawer and if you really did copy to your phone, then it will be shown there.
Hello All,
My first post here - I just got my new Asus TF Prime today... Beautiful tablet
I just have a couple of q's - Is there anything I should do first up, after I open it and charge it?
I have to do the upgrade to android 4.0 and I saw the instructions in the Asus TF Prime support page. Is that the easiest / best way? I saw that there are 10 different firmware versions and they do mention instructions on how to get the correct firmware. But for some reason, I find it confusing. Can someone let me know how to chose the right firmware for upgrade? I am in Helsinki, Finland and I got the TF Prime from Helsinki, Finland.
Is it necessary for me to install a security suite on the tablet?
PS., I have seen the wonderful accessories guide here and I plan to get some soon like the stylus / cover...
Thanks and see you all around.. Cheers.
Step 1: avoid trolls/douchebags that flood this forum nowadays....
anyway once you are charged up go into the settings then about tablet and check for new firmware and upgrade to ICS. Then you need to decide if you want to root the tablet or not.
After you update to ICS, do a factory reset, for silky smooth operating...
Congrats

You probably have the WW SKU, so I guess that is the one you should look at that one (Version V9.4.2.15(WW)
Check the SW version under "settings", but I guess yours will be World Wide Rom.

Verry important, and do it before you install anything, saves a lot of time.
Step 2: post thread comparing it to The new iPad
Hello people,
Thanks a lot and lol on some msgs...
I am charging it up now and I will check the SW version in a while.. but on the box, I see "Android WW"... so I assume its the android ww rom?
Also, on the keyboard dock sticker, it says "Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich" - Does this mean it has already shipped with the Android 4.0 OS? Anyway, I will check in the settings once I turn it on.
PS., how do I do the factory reset? From within the settings like in any other android 4.0 OS?
Thanks again and cheers.
PPS., I don't have no iPad and so, no comparison..
The good things:
Check out a few games, they rock on the Prime. There are a number of "THD" marked games that give the 3D performance a workout and show off the hardware and display very well. Emulators, especially with a bluetooth joystick paired to it, work great. Check out performance of video with some good movies. Check out Splashtop (comes with the tablet) and if you're inclined, check out Splashtop THD (basically Splashtop but makes higher resolutions available, and smooooooth streaming for HD files). Decide whether to root, add things like CIFS support for connecting to your home network. Put a new launcher on it, organize your shortcuts into folders, get a new wallpaper on it using wallpaper wizardrii, chat with some friends using Skype or Talk.
The preventative steps, to do while in your return period, and before you decide to unlock it...some of these issues may require RMA or a return/repurchase or selection of a different unit for some people:
-Verify it has a serial number shown in settings, and that you are able to receive OTA updates.
-Check out the overall performance of wifi, decide if it's good enough for your needs.
-Check the performance of the GPS. It likely doesn't perform very well.
-Try pairing a bluetooth headset and listening to streaming music or watching a movie over wireless, check out internet speeds with and without bluetooth.
-Check for light bleed along edges of the screen
-If you plan on using the keyboard dock, check out the various threads on cracked screens and decide if you want to take preventative steps or get an extended warranty, etc.

Agreed. Update your tablet before you install any apps and then do a factory reset. Some people noted software glitches after they upgrade their device and it is much easier to to a factory reset before you install a lot of apps.

To check for an update go to Settings > About Tablet > System Firmware Update.
Even though your tablet shipped with ICS, it might not have the latest update for this tablet.
To reset your tablet go to Settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset.
Great ideas for new owners. Got plenty to do looking for problems before downloading any kind of applications.

Hi People,
Thanks again for the msgs and info.
I checked and it says Android 4.0.3 in settings (and yes, there is the serial number too).
I am yet to connect to wifi / bluetooth and all that. I will soon. Tablet as such looks great - no defects from the outside..
Btw, I noticed that there is no Swype option as an input method?! Is this true or am I missing something here? If there is no swype, then can I just download the Swype Beta from the official Swype website?
As for the apps., I still haven't installed anything yet.. I will in the coming days There are quiet a few essential apps I need to get in as well as get a micro sd card for 'expanded' memory.. lol (I need the micro sd card, because I'll be working with tons of PDFs and other documents).
Anyway, let me see how it goes Cheers..

dropbox is a must!
before u rush off and buy an SD card, just to let you know that it sticks out slight giving a rough edge right where i cold the tablet in landscape mode, was quite annoying. just so you know it doesnt sit in as nicely as the blanker does... if u have an SD card kicking around give it a go and see if its annoying before u splash out...
You cant shave anything off the end of the card, ive tried, the silicone chip is so close to the end

Of course, yes Dropbox, evernote, Adobe reader (or is there anything better for reading PDFs?), Skype, Opera Mobile etc., are all waiting to get in..
Btw, thanks a lot for the SD Card info. Yes, I do have an SD card lying around - I will check that..
Also, in one of my prev posts., I had asked info about the necessity for a security suite - do I need one? I mean, I don't install apps from outside the google android market in any case... still, do I need a security suite?
And does anyone have any idea for Swype?
Thanks again.
You can download the Swype beta from their website. It works quite nicely on ICS now. There are a few steps required to get Swype up and running, including creating an account on their website, downloading an installer, then the installer downloads and installs the Swype app. But it's worth it, IMO.
I've never used a security suite for my Android devices. Just be judicious in which apps you install.
If you don't mind paying a few bucks for an advanced PDF reader/annotator, consider ezPDF or RepliGo.
Step 4. Determine wherever its faulty or not BEFORE your return to retailer window expires, and never,ever rma it, well obviously unless you are past return window and something fails.
Step 5. Hopefully its all clear, and you can start enjoying it.

The default Asus software keyboard is swype-like, in that you can slide from one letter to the next. Kind of swype-lite.

and on the Asus website, in the support section for TF Prime, I see "Version V9.4.2.15(WW)" - Is this the one I should be looking at?
Also, As you can see, the version is the same but the dates are different: The one on the Asus website has "2012.02.29 update" where as the system has "20120221"... So should I just leave it as it is or should I update to the new firmware?
I got Swype beta downloaded / installed and its working fine. BT and Wifi are working great as well...
PS., I noticed that, for some reason, when connected to my PC (at work, Win 7 x64, home premium) through USB, it doesn't charge (it charges when I connected to my laptop, Win 7 x86, Ultimate)... Why so?
PPS., Another issue (and yes, I did search and read some threads on a similar issue - notifications do not clear out even after downloading / installing an app!! Is there any way to clear it? For instance, on my SGS2 phone, there is this 'clear' option... but I don't see any such option with the TF Prime. Is there any way to clear those notifications?
Cheers..
I bought an M730W about a month ago from geeks. It came with 2.3.4 on it. I searched high and low to find the ICS for it since I'd seen that the same model is out and comes with it installed. I finally contacted Geeks to see if they could get me in touch with the manufacturer. They had no contact info. Finally after digging around I noticed something with the name of the US based company that hold the patent rights to it. I then dug more and got their number and while I was on hold I found their site. At this address (mymidpad dot com forward slash Downloads_M730Flash dot html) iwas was able to obtain a good manual and the updated firmware. Inside the installer it comes with PhoenixUSBPro, an IMG file and a key. During the install it said it was installing drivers to my laptop but I can not find them when I connect my tablet. The only way that I can apply the update is to have my M730W connected to my machine in a way that it's recognized. The only way for me to do so now is to connect as a USB storage device which does me no good when it comes to using the included software and firmware for updating. So my question is, does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?
Hey Tod. I also have the m730w. ICS is definitely available for the tablet but theres a catch. Since its a tablet(a generic one at that) you have to use a program for your pc called Live Suite which is primarily used for the ainovo tablets but can be used with any generic tablet. I cant do it right now but most likely tonight, ill post the links and the information on how to upgrade to ics. im currently running 4.0.3 flawlessly and much faster and smoother than GB. and i have full root which i can also show you how to do. just let me know

That's killer Ace, thank you so much!!! Mine came rooted, which has been a blessing. Whenever you can get the information to me is fine. I'll do a search for Live Suite and see if I can at least get that step taken care of.

I don't have just the rom. What I've got is the package that can be downloaded from their site. I don't have enough posts in to put an external link in my posts here. I'd try using a different browser and going to the URL I cheated into my OP. Just replace "dot" with "." and "slash" with "/". The software doesn't install the drivers properly on Vista though so you will want to be aware of that.
Any other word??? I want to update my neice's if at all possible.
Wow, here are the instructions! Good luck!
http://mymidpad.com/M730W Refresh instruction.pdf
Bump.
I have searched this exhaustively! I still don't know what ROM to download or how to boot into recovery mode. The guy above who posted about Live Suite? Haven't heard back from him. I downloaded that, but without the ROM, I don't see the point in even setting it up. I'm not particular about which ROM, as long as it's newer than the one on here, preferable CM7 or newer, but beggars can't be choosers emmirite??!!

Well, well, well. Someone gave me a POS Kocaso M750B and I've been on a search to do something else with it. And I find a good chap from the epic 4G forums.
Did you ever make any progress getting any other rom on your el cheapo tablet?

LOL. Hi there. Nope. Not a damn thing have I done with mine. It is sitting on my desk. I let my son play Minecraft on it on long rides, and I use it as backup for my phones camera. I know it could be so much smoother, but is being crippled by it's OS. If I could ficgure out how to boot it into recovery I might risk bricking it with a questionable ROM. But I can't find the ROM OR the means by which to boot into recovery. In truth though, I mainly got it to patootz with. I'm more of a laptop kind of guy anyway.

If you don't know, there's no chance any of us ever will. Someone got this for free at some promotion and handed it off to me, so I'm out absolutely nothing. Just a bummer there isn't more to do with it. You'd think that all these POS tablets would just share the same mainboard and proc, so that some standard JB rom would work for all of them. The screen is terrible and it registers touches so poorly that many games are just unplayable. But, if I give it to one of my nieces or nephews, I'll be a hero!
Thanks though!

Yes you will be a hero. I'm sure there are generic ROMS that would work with this. A) I have no idea where they would be. and B) I don't know how to flash them. If I found one I suspected was close, I might try to ODIN it on there.

We just received this phone as well and will be putting a full review up soon on youtube and the site. It appears the phone is either an OEM or copy (more likely) ZP800H / ZP810. Beyond looks and specs, it installs "ZP800H" drivers when plugged into a PC.
I will have a full video review up soon on the site today and attempt some auto root methods as well.

Okay, the good news is the phone isn't bricked. Bad news is Bin4ry method certainly doesn't work. Tried both normal and special modes.
I bought this phone pre-rooted from MeriMobiles. If by the time i get it (2 weeks give or take) there is no root, i'll be happy to share a dump of the rom to help get it rooted
Caesar A9600
Just received this phone, wondering how I would go about rooting it? I have been told its a clone of the zp900H, however, mine is a quad core.

It's the OEM version of the ZP810/ZP800H. There doesn't seem to be a root yet.

Actually no, when I connect USB it states zp900H. I also asked someone online and was told that It's a clone of the zp900/H9300+

Interesting. The ZP900H is the same as ZP910. What's the screen resolution in yours? if it is a ZP900H it should be QHD

That means your phone is an A9600, not an H7500+
http://www.merimobiles.com/caesar-a...roid-4-1-2-dual-camera-1gb-ram_p/meri8002.htm
the H7500+ has a 720p screen.

Yes, that is what I said I have in my original post, I mentioned the other ones because I'm told mine is pretty much a clone of them at least with regards to size and looks of the phone. It's not too common of a phone, I haven't seen much in the way of information on this phone, just thought it was a very decent phone ( better than my SG2 in most all areas)
My son suggested maybe seeing if I could find information on rooting it, hense my post and question here.
ahhhh, i always forget you can have titles on posts on this forum >_<
I think MT6890 phones are a bit too new, thus the lack of development so far. Should pick up at least enough to get root soon
Its okay. Unfortunately the screen got cracked tonight by accident Messaged the supplier but not sure what they can do for me. I only just got the phone a few days ago. Hopefully I can send it back to get a screen replacement. Thank you for your replies.
Hi, I bought this phone also (h7500+) and I'm very pleased with it, my only problem is the GPS is having a very hard time getting a lock, so I need to root it to modify gps.conf
Anyone find a way yet?

Does your phone come with CWM or just with the stock recovery(3e)? If it has CWM installed, you can root it easily with a flashable zip file.

Thanks for the reply. I just checked, and sadly it is the stock recovery (3e). I would try to flash CWM if there was a way, but I don't think there is without a bricking yet.
I also found there is a factory mode for this phone however (pwr + vol dwn) and it contains a plethora of options, problem is, it's all in chinese. I saw an option called GPS, it was followed by chinese characters, so I was too afraid to select anything.

i saw your request to root the phone erlier today, and i have just managed to root mine.
take a look on this link, it has a detiled guide on how to root the phone.
gizbeat[dot]com/2002/tutorial-how-to-root-mtk6589
have a nice day.
p.s. since im new to this forum, i cant post links to external sites, just remove the [dot] from the link and replace it with . and it should lead you to the website.
How did you manage to crack the screen? Is this a glass screen by the way?
I really like my H7500+, have it since March 19 and I really love the extremely great WiFi coverage. The GPS works with mine, takes about 2 to 3 minutes to get a sat lock. I tried Sygic today, just on my way home (walking) and the signal from the satellites seem to be strong enough.
great phone, a bit heavy, true, yet still a great phone.

I think because H7500+ it neither gorilla or ogs so you gotta be really careful. It's just a normal glass. you gotta be very gentle with it and put on a case
i found this:

Is it possibe to get the files from other source ? The link does not really work for me,...
