If you really, TRULY feel you can contribute something based on what I've talked about... go to #htc-linux and see if you can lend a hand.
Like I said, ALL the code is already available for free.

Yeah I've tried to tinker with the android system I know about the linux system and kernel but I don't know C, I was hoping to take that class this semester but well it filled up too fast. Guess I could get one of those books to teach my self. I've been trying to mess with maybe writing a auto update program for XD but so far my luck isn't working out.

Of course, having the code and knowing what to do with it are very different things. But you can't get to the latter without having the former. So, give it a shot. The worst thing that happens is you end up with a useless VM on your computer that you never use and a few hours of lost time. |
Great instructions. Maybe my setup is odd but I have to declare JAVA_HOME=/usr/path/to/jdk and ANDROID_JAVA_HOME=$JAVA_HOME every time i restart.. and sometimes (it needs it rarely) choosecombo command before make.

It could be just incompatible cards I've never had a problem with Windows 7 format on Fat default options booting XDAndroid. Although i thought I Read that there was a update to the rootfs for the SD Card issue.
Lastly the FB Fan page is up to 800 likers so if you haven't liked it yet you should, babijoee has it set up to push notifications about rootfs/kernel updates to the page.
