Android / Google Android Installable Image Available!

« on: January 13, 2008, 04:39:30 pm »

I just installed Angstrom (x11-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12) and tried to see if it works. Same applies here, connection errors on property_service. According to the article here the init executable needs to be patched.

* if you have jffs2 for / patch /init
* modify with hexedit : "/system_property" -> "/tmp/sy_property"
* NOTE: jffs2 does not support memory mapped file

I patched the init-exec but that didn't help. This isn't the way I expecting this to work. Any help is much appreciated.

Perhaps they got it to work because their /tmp is assigned to ramfs and not to the jffs2 part.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Root Filesystem Corruption After Reboot

This works, but every now and then Xpdf crashes and I find that the libraries have
been relinked to freetype.so.6.3.7.

I think this happens because ldconfig automatically links to the highest version when run.

I recompiled libfreetype by myself instead of using the file from the zip so it should be compiled using the new FP system.
freetype-2.1.5 worked without problems

if you have 6.3.4 installed you can remove 6.3.7 .. because when it is linked xpdf will not work .. if it's not then it won't be used.. but the next time ldconfig runs it automatically symlinks to the newer version
if 6.3.4 is not there you should not remove 6.3.7 because X won't start without libfreetype

you can also decrease the size of the lib by stripping it.. before it was 1.3M now it's only 0.4M


i also tried to compile newer versions of libfreetype.. but 6.3.4 was the latest one which was not segfaulting

i extracted libfreetype.so.6.3.4 from this package
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/qpdf2/q...rm.ipk?download
copied it to /usr/lib/ and linked libfreetype.so and libfreetype.so.6 to it

for the fonts i looked in /etc/xpdfrc and copied all displayFontT1 fonts from my pc and uncommented the lines

My problems with xpdf segfaulting dissappeared as i took the libfreetype.so.6.3.4 from a qpdf package instead of the libfreetype.so.6.3.7 included in pdaxrom

at least i can open the files i need for my studies

only some fonts were not displayed so i copied type1 fonts from my pc to the zaurus and edited the config file
