Hi,

I've uploaded the Poky & Android distro and included all necessary instructions on my Blog
I hope you like it  

Cheers,
cortez

Woohoo!! Thanks for all your work! I will try now and report!!

[klaxon]

Thanks ! Could you make an image for C1000 ? It'll be great !

I'll see what I can do. I'll try to build a kernel tonight for starters ;-)

[Kaze]

hello, thanks for your hard work, any hope of seeing this build for c750?

hello, thanks for your hard work, any hope of seeing this build for c750?

When I finish the Akita image I could make an image for the c750. But only if you promise me to test it, because I don't have a c750 anymore.

Dear cortez, sorry for late feedback.

I tried the image on my sl-c3200, I let the updater do its work and when I came back I was booted into Poky.
The problem was, there was no android directory in the home folder....

Maybe something went wrong during the updater process and I wasn't there to see the error output? (out of space maybe?)

I hope to have time to try again soon.

Best regards,

[cortez]

I bet you checked in /home/root. Check in /home, the android directory can be found there.

hello, I would be happy to test on my C760 too

[cortez]

c7x0 kernel can be found here. You can try to get this working by flashing the kernel and extracting the /home/android directory from the spitz image (android-root.tar.gz) on an ext3 formatted SD or CF. For the time being this has to be done manually. Kaze is already experimenting with it, and I think he uses the angstrom-minimal root file system.

@Kaze: any success on getting Android working on your c750? Did it work on ext2?

[Kaze]

hello again cortez,
as you said i installed a minimal angstrom along with your kernel and modules,
i can succesfully run your akita root image on ext2
(but quite slowly compared to ext3, so now that i can insmod ext3 i m using an ext3 formatted sd)
unfortunately i get a segmentation fault error when runnin the latest 0.9 root for spitz
anyway the akita image works well although a bit slowly

[cortez]

Hmm, the segmentation fault could indicate I haven't incorporated the Android patches at all. If so, the problem is that I have to disable more kernel options to make the kernel fit the c7x0. I'll have to check whether it is possible to move over (even) more features into kernel modules.

[Kaze]

i don't know if its any indication, but using the same kernel/modules I can run the older akita root you made, and the touchscreen is working so at least the screen patch appears to be in

[speculatrix]

I'm currently running debian. can I, in theory, just install the android rootfs, chroot and run it that way?
