Android Port for Touch/Vogue

[crazaytalent]

So Im dying to know If anyone here has gotten the new (well maybe not so new... but current) andriod port for the Touch/Vogue? I mean seriously I've been dying to try it, but since I'm still somewhat of a noob, I left it alone until I started figuring out all this ppc stuff. I recently downloaded the latest version (it's been updated since google official release) 1.0 sdk (or something like that) and from what I hear it's basically fully functional.

Unfortunatlly when I tried to run it, it continusly froze during the boot load from Haret. I dont know if it's my Vogue, or if there still some bugs or if I installed it wrong (though I doubt that because cab files are pretty much idiot proof), but either way it wont work for me, But from most of what I've heard (and read online) It's running for most people and from the vid's I've seen it looks really good. I gotta Say Dzo(martin) the guy over at xda seem to have really broke a sweat and put in some work to get it up and running as soon as he did. The have the software/cab over at "myhtchome" or something like that.

Anywayz If anyone got it ported on their Touch, how'd you 'get er dooone'... do anything special, and how's it running. I'm thinking I may have to wait a couple of months till all the kinks are really worked out.

And this might be a dumb question but whats the difference b/w linux and Android, I'm a lil confused, is Linux the Os and Android just a shell on top of that? Or is linux like what dos is to windows? I dunno... either way i looks kinda cool...cant wait to play!

Gotta have the toys for big boys!!

Re: Android Port for Touch/Vogue

yup, i actually tried it today...I hope u downloaded the newest version that came out, but anyway, all u do is transfer all the files to the root of yuor SD card, meaning /storage card...once thats done hit the haret exe file and click run, then just let it sit for a while about a min or so and your done, remember switch all the files including the default.txt. The app is fully running and can be ran as your UI, but im not a fan of it just b/c i love windows lol

Re: Android Port for Touch/Vogue

Nice, thanks broski... and i feel you on lovin windows, Im a fan myself... Android just seems like a fun lil add on to tinker with, which is why i like the idea (unlike most ) of booting it from haret, instead of jumpin stright into it. It just would be fun to tinker and experiment with see for myself what all the hypes about and still keep my wm (which i personally think gets a bad rap; but thats another thread) 6.1 os... See ladies I can have my cake and eat it too... I mean what else am I supposed to do with cake(sorry, tangent...lol)


But what do you mean the root of the sd card; is that like in the 1st directory of the card (no folders)? and if so when i download last i think my ppc created it's own folder for it on the sd card, should i be taking the individual files out to place them on the root seperatly?

Sorry bout the rambling... kinda tired

lol yea i kept it on my phone to just in case one of my boys come and shows off with his G1 and shows off lol, but yea just drop them in the 1st directory of your card, like when you press to open storage..drop it there, and dont worry about the folders ur pc created they wont bother r matter lol.

Re: Android Port for Touch/Vogue

Thanks broski... i hear you on the friends who want to show it off on their G1, i kind of want to be able to shut them up to...lol. Still they're no where near as bad as the iphone fanatics in nyc. lol.

I tried it again tho... still no go, I may have to tether to my pc and download the exe files and try transfering through active sync when i get off work tonite. If it doesnt work then... Ima call it a day, and wait a couple months.

Since you got it going, do you think it's a good Os? or is it all just fluff and hype?

lol yea the android is pretty neat actually and not bad, im not a fan of it but its def a start for it or maybe its as best as it can get lol....the UI works so it can be ran as your stock UI and IMO I think it is fluff and hype but then again its MO....hmmm here try this link and scroll down and click on the link that says latest version and transfer it to your storage card and go on your phone and then open the zip and select all including the default.txt(some ppl leave out the default.txt folder but you shouldnt in this one) and let me know
