Re: Spontaneous reboots are possible deliberate ?

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6206 is a lot of the reason for spontaneous rebooting.

It's not a giant conspiracy, there are just bugs in closed-source components that the Nokia team...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

I couldn't get newer kernels to come up on N810 (varied between framebuffer bringup issues after the n8x0-board refactor, SD/MMC driver issues, and obscure locking issues regarding the...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

I'm not exactly sitting on anything exciting: I've got a linux-omap kernel that starts the Android init and then mysteriously crashes in the MMC driver and an Android 2.0 userland that sorta maybe...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

Re: Chrome OS on N900 ?

Gears is replaceable with HTML5 (thus why it's being discontinued) and since the N900 browser supports HTML5 local storage I don't see what the point is at all.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

@Stskeeps: Haven't built yet, but N8x0 looks like just some refactors to use platform_board_infos instead of hardcoded values for i.e. GPIOs. N770 changes look more significant.

So I suspect it'll...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

Yeah, it seems like linux-omap is pretty flaky.

I'm just going to flash the damn rootfs image for now, it's lots easier to debug MMC with a real userland rather than what I can fit in <500K and...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

@sanjose:
I had to cherry-pick a specific commit from the linux-omap repo before the n800-board-xxx.c files were refactored into individual drivers and n8x0-board.c was added - it looks like when...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

I can't say for sure - it's not like I can come in and claim I'm going to have Bluetooth, Sound, GPS, and a Holy Grail before I've even got any of it working.

I'll lay out my steps so far and for...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

No sound yet - I'm exploring it a little but I'm trying to get things stable first.
And yes, it's my N810 - should work on N800 as well (same kernel). N770 is probably a no-go - Android "requires"...

Re: [Android] Eclair on N900: theoretically possible, the pieces are here

Because it's the kernel that runs on the N900 hardware? Anyway, I'll post a few more details over in my Android 2.0 thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=35112 eventually - it's pretty...

Re: [Android] Eclair on N900: theoretically possible, the pieces are here

If it's possible to compile a "clean" N900 kernel with working features you'd want in Android, the Android 2.0 userspace is actually very straightforward to build. I did it on a whim last night for...

Re: Maemo-like OS on the Droid?

The Droid is a heavily promoted carrier phone and as such is pretty heavily locked down - you would have to reverse engineer a variety of pieces and break some signature checking and encryption in...

Re: Android as main OS on N810?

There's no reason Android can't be made flashable, but I don't think the audience would be very big - in addition to instability running Android on the tablet is pretty niche as it's a phone OS by...

Re: Chrome OS on N900 ?

It would probably be easier (and a lot smarter) to just make a psuedo-ChromeOS, something that boots a Nokia / Nokia-esque kernel and initrd and then just starts X and a web browser (maybe Chromium...

[Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)

I tried building Android 2.0 (Eclair) last night and getting it working using the amazing work of solca et. al as a base.

I've got it booting and the UI functional - no WiFi or battery yet (just...
