Wish to know if the reference phone (ADP1/G1) can support
dual display. Is there any possibility of enabling this feature.
If the phone is using a sharp LCD controller mentioned in
http://www.phonewreck.com/wiki/index.php?title=T-Mobile_G1
there is a possibility. But might not be routed so in hardware.
But can anybody comment on this?

Sorry .. my question is about the hardware support and if at
all software can be written later at least. Didn't know which
group to post this to.

Thanks,
Rajesh.S

Sorry, but the reference phone doesn't support dual display at all.

Hello David,
Thanks David. Which LCD controller is used?

I understand that an answer must not be expected...
but could somebody provide or can you point us to something
more official a tear-down than
http://www.phonewreck.com/wiki/index.php?title=T-Mobile_G1
for developers ... those who have an ADP1 on some license?

Would Android-Team/HTC be able to disclose the hardware details
or the data-sheets of the LCD controller for instance?

Thanks and regards,
Rajesh.S

I don't know exactly which controller is being used. Even if the controller hardware supports dual display,
that doesn't mean that it is wired on the device's board to do so.

The Android system as a whole doesn't support dual-display, so I don't think you'll be able to "enable" the feature
anytime soon.

Thanks David, and even later if you can get me a pointer to hardware
tear-down or at least some open data sheets for ADP1/G1, it would be
great.
Thanks,
