Guest rfrogman Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 So where have all the Linux driver experts gone? It appears both whiplash000 Andromina and fladna9 omniaUbuntu projects have come to a screaming halt due to lack of drivers. Don't get me wrong I have the up most respect to all of the programmers involved in getting this far on both projects, but all I have ever heard from the linux crowd is, "You can write a driver for anything in linux, even a toaster!". Where have they all gone? Based on the information on andromnia wiki we know the architecture chipset and processor it should be straight forward to a linux guru to write the driver and recompile the kernal. Please any linux guru! Re-ignite these endeavors. I know there are cooler new phones out there but some of us have months left on our contracts and would like a chain to our current OS. It's great that the PDA side of the phone is partialy working but without the ability to make call it's kind of useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5xkwsk Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I just wish I could actually do something for the project myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jhitesma Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 To write a device driver you need to know the details of that device. It isn't enough to simply know what the device is, you need the technical details about it and it's interfaces. The problem is while it's known what devices are in an Omnia - the low level information about those devices needed to write a driver for them isn't known. If you know how to write device drivers and have the right information about the devices, then yes. It is very easy and rather quick to write a device driver. But if you're like the Andromnia developers and don't have that information it's a much slower and more involved process of reverse engineering the device to be able to write and debug the driver. If you read the Andromnia forums you can see that there are a few people who have been working on setting up tools that help them probe the devices to do this reverse engineering. But it's no where near as quick and easy as writing from the docs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would give you the machine could the hardware is looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest semmtexx Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 after 10 years maybe hehehehe BUZZZ!! wake up! This guy is just pissed because he's stuck with his i900. Keep up the hard work all you guys working on the Andromnia project. I was a hardcore follower until I upgraded to the Eris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5xkwsk Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 yeah I agree with that! There has been some activity though on the andromnia.net forum recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yce Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Hi! It is possible to get it work on omnia 2? If I start it writes to the screen these lines: HaRET boot Shutting down hardware Turning off MMV... ( if read it correctly, it's damn small :mellow:) In preloader PSR=?000004f ------^ dunno what this character would be... it looks like a 6 but I'm not sure. Please help <_< Edited March 12, 2010 by Yce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Genichirou Sanada Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) Do I have to insert the MicroSD Card into my Omnia or maybe I can just use card reader for installing Android on it ?

Guest lupus_hegemonia Posted March 14, 2010 Report Share Posted March 14, 2010 Anyway... since I'm an i900 owner (and I'll be for long time - finance's issues), is this project... "alive"? Will be released? Thxs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rockin713 Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 TOTALLY looking forward to this. For now I will be on 6.5, but when Andromnia is perfected, I won't waste any time flashing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe no one has done it! I wish i could tackle it but i'm in school right now ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andrew.mazlim Posted April 25, 2010 Report Share Posted April 25, 2010 TouchFLO3D... Andromnia... and several other dreams, are fine to imagine them. Friends, forget about it... Our i900s are OLD PHONES by now, they can't handle these UIs. (i900s can't EVEN handle SPB Shell 3.5's 3D graphics!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest threader Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 (edited) Hey Not yet supported: - CDMA/EVDO/3G, Bluetooth, GPS, Motion Sensor, Camera (back or front), Suspend Mode (1-2 hour battery life...) or Optical Mouse. I came across this http://www.armdesigner.com/Program70.html and http://www.armdesigner.com/KIT6410.html and idea6410 board, seems Boardcom already has linux and all drivers we need running on our chip! If i had the damned Boardcon linux sources id set up a cross compiling env immediately, but these people dont seem to distribute it anywhere? Hm, just noticed this is the i9x0 forum mistook it for the b7610 , guess they must be a tad different. But i guess finding a dev board using that chip and rip their linux work should work too :rolleyes: Edited May 25, 2010 by threader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
