Tutorial: how to run Android on your HTC device

A step by step tutorial is at the official wing linux wiki
heres the video of the same



please note: Wing Linux is a work in progress, as such a lot of features are unavailable at the moment.
for the pharos this is the status of functionality so far-

phone-functionality-wise sms/texting works, calls can be made and recieved, however the device can not playback audio from the other end.. though they can hear you :yikes: hope they fix that soon. I havn't managed to get gprs to work yet.

check your specific device's status at this page to know what works and what doesn't.

This covers the following devices:
HTC Artemis
HTC Elf, HTC Elfin
HTC Excalibur, T-Mobile Dash
HTC Gene, HTC P3400
HTC Herald, T-Mobile Wing
HTC Opal, HTC Touch Viva
HTC Pharos
HTC Prophet
HTC Startrek
HTC Wizard
Asus P320, Galaxi Mini
