Title: Google Android On Debian Eabi
Post by: 2or0 on January 03, 2008, 06:32:02 pm

I tested the google android on my Z. It was successful and promising, but still has a long way to go. If anyone is interested in it, give a try. Now android works on C3100/3200.

The kernel and modules with android system were uploaded on the following place.

yeah it looks promising!
and as we can chroot it, it can be executed besides other debian session:)
we should even be able to swap from X to Android,not?

what seems great at first sight is the browser which seems to have builtin java support!

Thanks again, 2or0!  

I followed your instructions but start-android ends up with the famous bouncing red ball (the disk LED doesn't flash).  Any success story here?

I run into a problem with this Android-patched kernel: the Z refuses to power off. Pressing the power button throws out a lot of messages (going too fast, can't see what they are) and then returns to the prompt. I downloaded and installed the kernel twice and it's the same. Using "shutdown -h now" is fine, though.

Now I fixed this problem. You can reflash the kernel which is in my blog.

In my case, I unloaded the ohci_hcd module when I run android. Please check this is loaded.
