Re: Linux/Android working on Titan

Hey everyone, I have gone through pretty much all 50+ postings regarding Android and the mogul...I've been trying to get Android to boot all day yesterday...had similar problems like some of you have been experiencing. The error I was getting was can't access tty; job control turned off"

I dont have a SDHC card, but a regular 1GB Micro SD card, I downloaded the necessary files from http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/ ) extacted them to the root of the SD card and when I attempted to boot thats when I got the error. I'm a little confused regarding these files since it seems its for the vogue....but some have said this works with the Mogul...so any clarification would help.

I see some where saying it could be either the card or how its been formatted. I then proceeded to format my SD though my windows box using both FAT and FAT32 FS and extracted the files again....still nothing still getting the same error mentioned above.

While doing some research I found someone name Magister who has been working on getting Android working the Mogul... went to his website http://magister.ipsys.net/?page_id=69&lang=en and I downloaded his packaged files I also ended up formatting my Micro SD again but this time I formatted it through my Linux box using FAT....I'm not sure if this made a difference or not...however with Magister's package I was able to boot Android in seconds...so a BIG THANKS goes out to Magister.

Functionality with Magister's package is not bad...I was able to make calls, send text and get on the internet immediately. My keyboard works...button layout is a little different..but I'm getting use to it....while I haven't fully tested everything yet...there are two apps so far that aren't working (Calendar and Camera). I read some posting regarding performance...while its not blazing fast...I'm impressed with the response in its current state...It's not really that bad.

I'm not sure what Android version Magister's package contains. However, does anyone have a more current build of Android that is working on the HTC Mogul and can direct me to where I can get the files and the exact steps on how to get it installed.

Thanks
