[project]Port android to meizu M8

It would be soooo good if the Meizu programmer would give us the basic drivers (if they have them) =)

also good to hear that you are on it :D

So far

How did this work out for you?

because of my android (its not complete) it didnt started.
But (as said) i dont really need android for my investigations, so i decided not to autostart it. i can start the init i want to, but for now, a serial console should be eneugh

i heard crimson has contact with some meizu developers..maybe we can ask him for ask the meizu developers ifare really working on android, and if they are willing to share some drivers..

there are working on android for m9

i don't think that this is any help for you

It helps me decide whether to update to an M9

Could anyone tell me is there any posible we can build a perfect Android ROM (with Radio,Wifi,USB and so on) ? Or we have to wait Meizu to build one?
Meizu's M store now are lauched,so I think JW will use the WINCE for a long time...

Sure, it's possible, but not without a huge amount of dedication to the project, like we are seeing from r3wDy.

There is of course rumour of Meizu M9 being Android based, but that wouldn't much help this project. Only time will tell.

if you know develelopers to help with the baseband problem, please invite them to to our community.
nobody knows when/if everything is working

Oh THX I know programming very little,but my Chinese is well (But English bad) So if you need any help with Chinese Webpages,I think I can help~

Perhaps you can try to conntact meizu to get infos about activating/communicating with baseband chip.
r3wDy can tell you exactly which info is needed

(ive got probs with that the last time, but when i put my meizu on when connected to the pc it often finds him) .. How can i fix this?? and install android succesfully? PLEASE SOMEONE HELP! ^^,

antifa321, did you read the footnote on the wiki page? that will make it clear why you have this issue.

we have to wait Meizu to build one?

no we only need technical documents or skilled developers but both are hard to find it seems.

And about android for m9.. since the rumor is that google will leave china soon due the disputes they had with the chinese government, the chances are very small that meizu would get a licence to launch a phone with android on it.

Google leave Chine is nothing to Meizu or Android.China Mobile's OMS MobileSystem is based on Android

this could clear the whole android in china stuff :

Google says Android should 'flourish' in China, effectively concedes a point -- Engadget

it says that even if google left china that has nothing to do with the android OS as its available to all and it presumably should flourish in china

theoreticlly we can build a perfect android rom, but praticlly its very much hard word to get things known.
Another problems is the really small community we have. If this wuld be a samsung phone or something with thousands of users, there would be much more devs. Buts its not, and so i nee to share my time with private stuff, work stuff and this one here.
We clearly need more skilled defs

Would a 'None disclosure agreement' mean that we can not use the drivers as we please?
