Judging by no posts or updates..
Nothing has happened at all.

Hi!
Ok so I've been studying up on porting Android to the Palm Treo Pro. Mine is the 528 Mhz one instead of the 400 mhz one. I've attempted a couple of tries, gotten to the point where everything lists through, I get the lil' Haret "tux" screen and get a flashing of 10/11 some sort of memory error, too small/fast for me to see. Repeats until I pull the battery to reboot.
I'm using a download I found called TreoDroid? Supposed to be built my phhusson I think. It seems the Raphael build is the most cross ready for the Pro, but we're having to tweak little bits and pieces on it.
My question is, what is the most effective "Startup.txt/Default.txt" so far? Mine is as follows:

set ramsize 0x80000000
set ramaddr 0x10000000
set mtype 1910
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "root=/dev/ram0 init=/ console=tty0 mem=76M msmsdcc_id=3 zmgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p1 imgdevnum=1 imgdir=/ msmts_calib=0x7a.0x5e.0x35a.0x37f msmvkeyb_toggle=off board-htcraphael.treo=1 wifi.mac=00:1D:FE:9C:10:52 "
boot

Fair warning I'm very, very new at all this and I am simply tinkering with other peoples work to attempt to get a functional version of Droid. I could go buy an Android phone but I just bought this phone like 7 months ago... so, I figured I might as well apply myself to trying to get Droid on my Palm. Help is much appreciated! Previous work/etc, comments, other tests and the like!

Howdy, I've been watching this thread for a couple of months now, is there anything I can do to assist?
I'm pretty good with linux, but it would help if you posted a link to this TreoDroid as well as the steps you've taken so far so others can help advance the knowledge.

Me too, I'm anxiously curious to see how android will perform on this phone. WinMo FTL

well the TreoDroid files can be found over at:

I'll be testing it in a few minutes on my CDMA treo pro. I'd prefer to talk to ppl over in #htc-linux on freenode but I don't know what any of your handles are in there except for phhssun's (phh). If want to work on this then hit me up in there.

Well I'm back...... following we350z's instructions on page 8 I was able to boot into android with the screen facing sideways. Not much else really, every keypress brought up the volume menu. I'm using the straight zip dropped on the root of an sdhc card.

ive got my GSM treo pro booting the linux kernel upside down using a kernel from the htc kaiser i modified just now, and then it goes to a white screen and freezes. going to work with this tonight. see what i can do.
