[Project] ANDROMNiA for CDMA i910

[Guest eTronic Gaming]

Hello everyone.

I'm starting this topic in the hopes that there are other people out there who are part of the small percentage of the cellular world known as CDMA users. Other people, who have the i910 Samsung Omnia, want to see Android ported over to their device.

The current problem is that the GSM and CDMA chipset are different, and the current andromnia project supports only the GSM chipsets.

I am requesting for people to work together, along with myself, who would like to see the project have a CDMA branch as well. Post any info that could help further the development.

So far, what I've gathered is the following:

CDMA Chipset: Qualcomm MSM6800A

Link to CDMA omnia drivers

I will update this as progress develops.

Also, I will be keeping updates over at http://www.andromnia.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&p=92 as well

I need help with IDA pro/assembly/drivers. Basically anything to help get a cdma version working with the current revisions of the Andromnia project.

Thanks!

i second request!. i will donate and do anything i can to help i cant wait for a full version with my i910

[Guest eufouria]

I too am eager to see progress on this project, I fear I can't help much in coding but will gladly donate.

I have already donated to androidomnia.com, but naively thought they would include i910 drivers.

[Guest muskamj]

I just joined in on all the Andromnia fun a few days ago. I'm new to this kind of thing, so I don't know how much help I can be, but I'll be up for testing anything. Hopefully this project progresses as quickly as the GSM one did.

[Guest eTronic Gaming]

Just registered www.cdmandroid.com

Check the site in the upcoming week for a donate system/website.

I'm going to work a lot on it this coming week (since I won't be working).

Also, PM me if you are interested in helping! :)

Glad to see there are people besides me who want to see this become a reality.

[Guest cheifkeiff]

I too am down to help as much as I can I want to get this on my phone so bad!!!!

i will gladly donate and help as much as possible. i have been following this project since the first thread was posted! sooooo excited!

[Guest LaX 911]

I would be glad to help. I am somewhat familiar with most of the stuff.

I found this, which is for the MSM7K series on HTC devices, but it may be a good starting point.

Thanks for the help guys.

Have a lot of work with school, but I finished setting up a blog on www.cdmandroid.com, so I'll keep some stuff updated over there.

Cross posting a bit here... I just finished googling the MSM6800 chipset... Apparently, just about every Verizon Wireless Broadband card, Blackberry, HTC, Omnia, etc., all use the same MSM6800 chip. If any of them have linux as an OS, we can pull the drivers from that to get it to work on the Omnia...

[Guest eTronic Gaming]

Hm, thanks dragonriot. The new HTC phone and even the Droid have MSM6800 chip. I'll look into that, as they both run Android.

[Guest JDawg183]

The Droid has now been rooted, does that help at all?
