Hi, Welcome on board! It's great to have a new HTC device. I have only started to do some work in order to bring the HTC devices to the new SHR metadata.

Note that the kernels for these machines are highly specific to one exact device. The correct approach here is to start of with the official kernel tree provided by the distributor of the device. A quick search lead me to this site http://sourceforge.net/motorola/cliqdext/home/Home/ which has nothing. I hope you will be more successful ! In the long run we will have to do small modifications to the kernel that are needed because SHR expects different drivers than ANDROID. We might collect the basic information on kernel etc. and possible hardware differences to drean at http://wiki.htc-linux.org . Regarding the kernel development I'd also suggest to subscribe to http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mobile-linux-discuss (I cc'ed to this list) There are some people on there working on similar SoCs > Poking around in SHR's HTC Dream kernel configuration, I noticed the > command line: > > CONFIG_CMDLINE="mem=64M console=ttyMSM,115200n8" > > In particular, the ttyMSM console interests me.
