PROJECT AND DISCUSSION THREAD(always check last page)
-----------------------------------------------
Okay, recently there has been a great demand for Android on HTC Touch2/Mega. This thread is being started from the discussion that took place on this thread
Few of the members are working very hard day and night to port android on touch2 device but lack of knowledge about kernel developing or building is causing failure. We urge to the developers with knowledge of porting android to other htc devices to help us making our dream come true of using android on our device.
---------------------------------
what dzo replied to one of our member on this forum is:
From the specs it looks like the touch 2 should run android quite well. I don't have time to help you much but it shouldn't be hard to get the 7x00a kernel running. You really need a kernel developer though.

we even made this offer to dzo but due to lack of his time he is unable to help us. =(
---------------------------------
This is the post which gave the idea to create an offer for a developer.
In this thread:
Our aim is to collect all the donation and meet the price of a Touch2 device
Our offer to the developer is a new Touch2 device so that he can test and port android into it or if he wants the donation in cash instead of a device would be fine too. =)
Rules to donate: those who are interested or want to help us to see this dream come true must enroll their name in this thread with the amount of donation first. Then after a developer agrees to accept this offer he must be donated directly from each of the user who'll enroll their names in this thread.
*rules or regulations can change on the other users interest.
---------------------------------
So far people wished to donate(but unfortunately many haven't donated yet which is slowing the project):
duchu - $5
vesipyks - $10
raghul - $10
htcshane19 - $7(£5)
[email protected] - $15
lavs - $5
kamileon1 - $25

liamatburnblue - $23(£15)
hawsey - $10
alien_from_far - $23(20€)
xmonster - $10

Our fist aim is to collect $280 for a Touch2 device for the developer. But unfortunately we have only received $122 till now which is slowing the project down. =(

if you want to donate then first enroll your name here with the amount. we are currently looking for a developer who will agree to take up this project and this offer will be for him. which means you will have to donate the developer directly.
i'll up the ante...
hi all,
hey, i saw that my name is listed in the post as donating $10. i'll be willing to donate US$25 to the pool. just let me know when you get the developer and the paypal account sorted out. then i'll transfer the money over. cheers!
ps - i can't always check this thread too often because of work, so i need to sort out how to set up the email notification. but in case i can't figure it out - can someone email me at kamileon1 (at) live (dot) com (no spaces) when i need to transfer the money. tanx
i can donate 5 EUR via paypal too, EUR means € but not £
please correct it
5 euros...but with Google Checkout. Possible ?
EDIT :
If only we had more money now : I got my brand new HTC MEGA for 125 € in a phone shop because they thought there was no way to change the language of the the phone. There were some left but not much...
thank you again guys for showing the support.. we have at least crossed $100 now.. have to make $200 more.. and then hope for the best.. =)
In the original post, $300 are mentioned for the project. Is that the amount for the phone only or does it include the $100-200 for the developer ?
we must collect the money for the device first($300)
if the job is done as a reward we can collect another $100 to offer the developer..
The device has to be new ? Even so, like htcshane19 said in the other topic, I'm pretty sure we can find a better price than $300.
I can call the store where I bought it new for €150 to see if they have some left, but I doubt it...
in Bulgaria new HTC Mega costs $220 ...
Guys...I'm sorry but you can count my contribution out : I had the opportunity to buy an HTC Magic at the price of my HTC Mega. Therefore, I'm selling it to pay the Magic.
If I didn't need the money that much I would have offer you mine for 170 €, it's practically new (5 days old) but...
we need more donation guys..

After that we want you to share it, so we all can have android on our mega. It has two benefits. One with help of your's our dream comes true and second we have another phone so you can do further experiments.
Hope for your positive response. Thank you.

Preliminary Project Goals (subject to change)
- Expand band to encompass US 3G if no hardware limit exists
- Optimize PagePool
- Update ROM to later build
- Updated Radio
- Enable scrolling via d-pad circle, smarttouch wheel or whatever it's called. I have no idea what it's called so i did my best.
- Enhance and tweak ROM for more speed, stability/reliability, etc.
- When available, include newer versions of software.
UPDATES 0 (September 08, 2008)
- Donations are coming in for team members that don't have devices. We would like to thank everyone. If you haven't dontated, please see if you can. We still have a couple of devices to get for these guys.
- Internal Alpha testing of new ROM is underway. We're playing around with different settings, tweaks, enhancements and attempting to enhance stability and speed.
- Several radio's have been tested for US 3G functionality but none have yielded any results. I've personally contacted HTC and asked point blank..."is there a hardware limit for US 3G on your HTC Touch Pro device or is it software based?". Their response was that there is no hardware limitation and that US 3G wasn't released with the device because it hadn't gone through proper testing at the time of release. This in itself is positive. If you have access to a Fuze or AT&T version of the device, contact us. Just because someone else contacted us doesn't mean we don't need to keep testing and trying. We'll post an update as soon as we've successfully enabled US 3G support for this device.
- As with any project this team works on, we value everyone's input. We ask that if you have suggestions and/or recommendations for freeware, tweaks, enhancements of any kind...drop us a line. If it passes certain testing criteria it may be included in the final release or at the very least included in the add-ons pack.
UPDATES 1 (September 12, 2008)
Hi everyone here is a quick update from the Elite Team just to let you know our progress so far.
-Official Team Members:
AstainHellBring, Cmonex, Olipro, Chainfire, MrVanx, LennySh & Boinger
Ltxda is still involved however hes taking a back seat role at the moment due to higher priority matters with his family, see this thread.
-ROM Progress:
We are currently testing out the tweaks and alterations being made to speed up the ROM and also to improve the battery life, currently the ROM is nice and fast with alot of improvement over the stock ROM. Currently we are in alpha testing pretty much with nightly builds. Cosmetic changes to the ROM are minor at the moment, alot of the final packages are in and working correctly.
-US 3G Progress:
Working with the ATT Fuze device and the standard touch pros we have deduced that it is not as simple as just replacing the NV items on the touch pro with those from the fuze, some extra calibration is needed to make it work correctly (unless it is really not supported in hardware). Progress is continuing with the issue so dont sell your touch pros just yet
Many thanks to ausbj for helping with the fuze device details.
--__Reserved__--
Any hints on what to expect?
Great news!

This basically means that some of the best developers and testers are going to work together in an organized and professional fashion to come out with a well thought out and tested ROM for this device. We are a well structured team and have some of the best, if not the best, talent on the project team.
To everyone,
We can start by having people post their suggestions for the ROM. These will only be suggestions and just because they are posted doesn't mean that they will be implemented into the ROM...but we'll do our best.
Also, please donate to the project. We still have to get a few devices. I won't be getting my device from donations nor using that money at all. I've already ordered the device on my own dime since I have a legit use for it. If I didn't and it was only a purchase for this project, I would use project funds. Cmonex has the link in her signature to donate to. I haven't set mine up yet.
Sounds great
Where shall we donate (which link)?
Will there be localized ROMs once localized Pros are shipped (e.g. German Rom )?
Will you create a ROM with all the goodies from the Pro just optimized as well as possible with added useful applications? Or will you focus on differen rom versions (light, pro, full, whatsoever)...?
Thanks

Hi,
I purchased the TG01 in February and I have lost my temper with it because it's so horrible, but I know there are a few developers out there looking for a real device to work with, so I thought I'd sell it.
I'm looking for anything over £65, It's in good working order with a few scratches on the screen and it's generally in OK condition, but the speaker is quite quiet.
If you're interested please reply to this thread.
Thanks
PS, I will consider swapping phones if you want

Hold that thought, we might be able to buy it from you for the Android project if we can raise the money. £65 shouldnt be too difficult to raise!
Please dont sell it before speaking to us about it.

.. is there an Android TG-01 developer fund - I'll contribute if you're able to buy a cheap TG-01
i'll contribuite too..
I have posted in the Android discussion thread and Alex has kindly offered to hold the donations:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672234&page=25
decide between yourselves if you will and start a donations thread and get the money rolling. Someone needs to pm tjcooper17 to ask him if hes still got it and whether he's happy to wait until the money is raised.
I'll ask dzo (or any developer users recommend with a track record for Android development) once we have confirmation that the purchase is going to happen.
Best of luck
tjcooper17 can you post some pics of the device since you say it has some scratches and also what comes with the phone, is the box, charger and everything with it and lastly is it sim locked to orange or unlocked?
Hi guys,
I'm in Shaftesbury, Dorset. The device is locked to Orange, I'll post some pictures in just a minute and I'll send it with everything I got in the box:
Phone
Charger
Manuals
USB to PC Lead
CD Drivers
I should be able to get you the device including delivery for £70 if that's OK.
Pictures in just a second
I'm having real trouble uploading the pictures at the moment, is there an email address i can send them to?

Sorry to butt in on this thread! We have a donation thread for TG01 Android development :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=804051
.. and a direct link to PayPal :
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/w...63663d3faee8dc60d77e6184470d51976060a4ab6ee74
.. so far, £15 has been donated
Regards,
Alex.
OK I've compressed them quite a bit, didn't realise how big they were.
thanks for the pics.
The thread for the donations has been closed down by mods.. I'll pm the mod on how we can do this without collecting money on here. The only other way I can think of is if enough people pledge to put money towards the phone, then we donate to you directly.
Leave it with me.

It appears that the word donations is contentious.
So if we want to do this, the best thing is everyone PLEDGES what they are willing to put towards a device on this thread, once we have enough money and a developer who wants to help, we can pay tjcooper17 someway and get him to send the device to the developer.
Sorry about the mess, I guess these things are there to protect xda users from fraudulent transactions so its probably wise not to ignore them.
On that note, I will say if anyone has any suggestions how this can be done without hickups, please feel free to put your ideas forwards.
Lastly, Endrix is the lead developer here, I have been asked why I am not accepting the device myself, it is simply because I do not possess the reverse engineering skills to take this project forward and neither do I have the time to learn to do so.
I am quite happy to help out where I can and look forward to purchasing a tg01 if android is successfully ported to it which I look forward to being a part of.
Update 12/8/2011:
The campaign is closed, currently the device is paid by:
Albert W - suicideclown
Logan L - Loglud
James B- jtbnet
Charles S - 150pilot
Nick W - Indirect
For people that expressed interested in donation can still donate, but the funds will go directly to the NT development team, as either reserve for another donation developer device, or as funding for the celebratory party for when the bootloader is finally broken and we can get custom rom into our beloved NT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi my fellow Nook Tablet tinkers and enthusiast, adamoutler has expressed interested in helping us developing for NT, he has extensive experience breaking bootloader for hardware locked devices. I want to see if we can get enough interested from the forum to poll together $280 - $300 dollar to cover the cost for the NT and shipping.
What you guys think of the idea? If we can get enough interest, I am in for $10.
Here is adamoutler own input on the topic
AdamOutler said:
I've been sitting back watching this thread for a while now. It's time to stop this foolishness. First off, the first post was started with absolutely no information.. basically 'you know what would be cool?'.. then the rest of the discussion has been a bunch of randomness. Why has not a single person mentioned the datasheets for the processor or memory? Why has Boone posted a memory dump of IROM? This thread contains nothing useful.
UnBrickable mod is the way to go. Put a device in my hands and ill enable it to boot from USB or sdcard. The device uses a hardware initiates boot chain. This chain can be broken at the hardware level.
This is an omap4430 device right?
Give me a device. Rebellos and I will locate the boot mode 5 pin which unlocks the boot from one NAND. We will then require an interceptor bootloader which is where Rebellos specializes. Once we hardware unlock the device and the interceptor bootloader is in place, the device will accept an insecure bootloader flash.

Origionally the plans was to send a donated NT to Rayman84, but adamoutler expressed more confidence that he can do it. So Indirect, Loglu and Rayman84 talked it over and agree to give the donated device to adamoutler instead.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Update:
Indirect has graciously offer to take up the responsibility of money collection, purchasing and shipping the NT, so we can send the money to his Paypal account:
Indirect said:
Everyone who wants to donate, send the cash to:

+1 on rayman. Great dev.
Any idea on his level of commitment if he were to receive a nook?
I mean I wouldn't want to be like 'HERE IS 250$ BUY A NOOK YOUR HIRED!'
Sure free stuff is nice.. but, it just seems more polite to ask them first..
I think either one would be great. Dalingrin have experience pushing the limit of the NC kernel which has some similarities to the NT kernel. He is also a driving factor for getting CM7 stable on the NC, as well as leading the effort on getting ICS on the NC. I think he can contribute the most in helping us getting a custom and stable CM7 going, even working within the limitation on the NT stock kernel.
I am not too familiar with Rayman's work, but by the sound of the reference from the forum members here, he would be an awesome developer to help support the NT. By the way what is his expertise?
I don't mind we who we donate the NT to, as long as he/she p hehe) can be a great contributor to the NT forum, and help us get custom ROM on the NT sooner. Or even maybe even a custom ICS compatible kernel.
Let see how much interest we can get for a device donation. Once we get the necessary commitment ($260 inc Tax) for a NT, then we can reach out to the developers to see if either one of them is interested.
I'd be in for $10.
Another 10$ from me for sure
I'm in for $10

Hi,
suicideclown managed to get the message to me and here I am
So, yeah, it sounds interesting, BUT:
I'm European so I wouldn't be able to buy one myself
Does the NT even work decently outside of US?
I work on a number of devices, so my spare time is limited
For my previous work, you can checkout at least www.androidroot.mobi
It's mostly directed towards transformer so far, but we have been discussing branching out to other devices, lol. I'm also working on ICS for TF and Notion Ink Adam and I have gotten quite far with that. (including porting to newer kernels)
Disclaimer:
Even if I spent 24/7 on a thing like this, there's no guarantee it's doable. IF I were to get a device I'd certainly spend a considerable amount of time trying to unlock as much as possible, but there's no guarantees ever with things like this.
I realize my response is a bit cryptic, but I just want to make clear how things would work if I were to receive a device in this way (So far, I have bought every single device I've hacked on!)

We could ship you one , It works fine outside the US, you just wouldnt be able to take advantage of the barnes and noble content. .
Would you also need a power converter for europe, or do you have one of these already?
I would donate $10 to getting him a nooktablet.
If he wants, we could have the tablet shipped to me and I can remove the apps that it uses to authenticate to Barnes and noble.

Is there a need for that? I'm in Singapore and I managed to register just fine. If shipping is a concern, I am a big fan of Borderlinx (you will need a Citibank credit card for that). They are an excellent reshipping service and you can usually google up a discount coupon code.
I've got $10 on it
I am wondering if it would be easier to buy it from Amazon reseller and have it ship to Europe, instead of me or someone else handling the shipping.

I want to see if we can get enough interested from the forum to poll together $280 - $300 dollar to cover the cost for the NT and international shipping.

Note that I can't commit to developing for it!
What I mean is:
I'll spend time (a fair amount of time!) trying to break it open
I'll spend time developing whatever tools I might need to get it done (and release source)
I won't be making custom roms and similar if 1) succeeds.
Developing is a very broad word, and it easily leads to misunderstandings, so just wanna set expectations right

Hi,
suicideclown managed to get the message to me and here I am
So, yeah, it sounds interesting, BUT:
I'm European so I wouldn't be able to buy one myself
Does the NT even work decently outside of US?
I work on a number of devices, so my spare time is limited

1. Shipping can be handled easily.
2. Yes, the only thing is in order to purchase anything from the Market the Nook would need to have a bank account that is either from the US or Canada. This would be a non issue of course as I doubt you would need anything from the B&N Market, and even if you did you could always load up a giftcard and tie it to a B&N account and make purchases that way.
3. A number of us would greatly appreciate any time that you would be able to devote to this device.
$10 from me
Drew Garen agree to start developing Ice Cream Sandwich AOSP for our lovely Flyer. We have to raise enough fund to let him get a 3g Flyer.
If you want to donate, he would appreciate extra $$
Or you can go directly to www.drewgaren.com
ManLord
How much does he need?
I think he could get a 3g off contract around 350-400 but will look for the cheapest for sure.
Already sent myself 25$
I'll try to chip in around $30 next paycheck.
If I knew for sure that this guy was serious and capable, I would donate $200.
Would it be better to do a view and then just disable the radio for the flyer?
These were 160 a week or so ago... he doesnt need 400 bucks.

Since I'm new I'm not yet allowed to post outside links... I don't know what J3ff was referring to, but in Holland the 32GB Wifi+3G version can be bought new for €200,- now here (without a contract):
shop dot www dot hi dot nl slash hi slash RAPRD slash HTC-Flyer slash QHTFLYsi dot html.
In America there is this:
www dot cowboom dot com slash product slash 980844 but that one is used.
I suppose these are not the only nice deals
$10 sent
$10 sent.
Good luck!
$20 donated
I'd donate, but will this help the view in any way?
Sent from my highly modified HTC Rezound using Tapa 2. Yes, Swype misspelled something above.
Donations and ICS work
YHey guys DrewGaren here. I was recently approached about AOSP ICS on the HTC Flyer. I had to check into it because I don't have this device yet and I wanted to see what the current development for it was. I found there really has not been much done yet. I already have the vendor files and some neccesary device files for building and will start making modifications needed and try compiling without a device until I get enough donations to buy the device.
Donation Target: $499.99 (unless you can find me a cheaper off contract 3G/4G/WI-FI model)
Current Donations To Date: $75.03
I will start putting up a progress page on website drewgaren.com and you can view and keep up to date there or follow me on twitter @drewgaren for my updates and feed.

Nice that you are willing to start developing it!
Please have a look at the links I sent, there are cheaper options than $499 for sure.
By the way, I thought Chaosz-X and others already started working here? Isn't calling that "really not much" a bit strong?
Who donated the .03
Honestly I'd donate if I knew it would benefit the View. I'd like to support my Flyer brethren, but I own a View.
499? are you serious? I got mine on www.cowboom.com for 159.00 bucks.
Whoever first successfully creates a working wear24 ROM with NFC enabled and Google Pay Support, will win the money pool. In order for one to claim the prize they must PM me with a working ROM, I will test the ROM and if it is valid, I will award them the money pool. In order to participate you must donate at least $5.00 USD to the money pool, make sure to notate the donation with your username.
You do not have to participate in order to donate money to the pool. Show your support to the dedicated DEVS! The higher the pool, the harder and faster they will work!
Edit:
Here is the pool. The deadline is July 4th 2018. If no one claims the prize the funds will be refunded to the supporters.
Good idea
Definitely
I just picked one up for $59.99 Brand New and I'm quite interested if development will pick up now.
Would be excellent if it's 2 types: NFC enabled and NFC enabled minus the Verizon's bloatware.
Anyone know the best way to start a donation pool? Paypal? Kickstarter? or is there a website dedicated to competitions and such?
Can we just port existing firmware from similar devices like LG Watch Sport?
Asked for AsteroidOS rom for Wear24 - https://asteroidos.org/about/
Answer:
Hi Den,
Awesome! It looks like Asteroid could potentially work on that watch
since the kernel has been made available:

If you are interested, you can follow this guide:

Have a nice day,

So, we need to wait for someone to do the port of AsteroidOS to that watch.

How does this work? Whoever claims the price commits to working on this and getting us NFC? If yes, I’m in!

Well it looks like I just made your first donation of 5 bucks usd.
C'mon folks, this would be great to get done! Just make sure whenever it is that each and every step required is written down for less experiened (but willing to try) folks like me.
Thanks!
We need more people to chip in! It's only $5 and you all know we REALLY need this!
This is really sad :crying:
I am planning to start working on the asteroidos port today, I'll let you know you guys about the progress.

Awesome. It would be sweet if you could figure out a way to install it without taking the device apart. But if you can't, I'm willing to do the Wear surgery to get it rooted. I've been sitting on an extra T-Mobile sim, so I'll go ahead and pop that in while I have it open.
What I'm trying to say is, when you're ready for somebody to test it, I'm game.

Aww if you want you can send it directly to me and I can deposit it into the pool for you
Hi, I appreciate your speculating as it attracts people’s attention and make this topic discussable.
