Re: Android For The Vogue Is Here!!!

My observations:

1. Bone stock vzw xv6900 (got it yesterday!)
2. Downloaded all the files on: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
3. Placed them on my SD card in a folder titled "android"
4. When opening haret.exe, and running default.txt...
"Error Failed to load ... initrd.gz"
5. Fix: Opened default.txt and moved the "#" from "intrid-android" to "intrid.gz"
(also changed username= my10digitnumber@vzw3g.com, password=vzw)
6. Ran haret.exe and run defalt.txt.
(did not need to "listen for network")
7. Penguin and boot script ran...
8. "Knight Rider" icon...
9. Android/Linux Homescreen up!
10. touch screen works nicely, maps and browser work with data connection.
11. Camera button loads keyboard. Seems to work ok.
12. up/down on d-pad work.
13. End Button exits apps.
14. Impressed with ease of navigation through menus and apps (for those that work)

Question: Now how the heck do I exit out of Android and back to Windows? I have pressed every button and resorted to pulling out my battery. Can't be great for my phone.

Kudos: Especially to Martin from Massey University Tech Page. I am really impressed with how fast Android is being developed. I just an enthusiast with minimal Linux knowledge. I have been using Ubuntu on my PC with great success, and I cannot wait to see the future of Linux on Mobile phones. Furthermore, I work for one of the major Wireless Carriers. Go open handset alliance! Keep up the good work guys!
