I'm thinking of commiting the sysinit.rc to a new branch since that is pretty much where all the android work happens.

Well, I'm having a weird boot cycle issue I haven't figured out quite yet. I'm going to pull down the latest androidinstall.tgz you have up there, touch that up with the new files, and try again tomorrow. It might also have to do with switching the init.android to the one from our rootfs instead of the one from vogue's tinboot. That's what I get for making 15 changes at once and then testing instead of checking after each change

drats, that's tricky. Well spit somethin out I can test, I got time to work on this today! haha going to shovel a couple accounts right quick, then to the o' drawin' board....

Ahh yes. let me know how that goes. I havent compared the init.androids but there must be some differences. Also think about this. If this is build specific, we can symlink it to the build itself so we dont have to update it in the initrd.

I'll update the install script tonight so you can see the auto kb detection mechanisms.

edit: also some of the nand code is getting moved over to haret and coming back with updates.lol. So i'll be updating the kernel as well.

I really like the idea of symlinking it. I won't get to play with this at all really tonight, but tomorrow I only work a half day, so I will have a bit more time to play with this. Also, there are a few settings in sysinit.rc that I am curious about, but maybe we can save that for a later time

Edit: An example of what I mean is, I see we commented out the portions dealing with /cache. For educational value, I'm curious why we would remove that.

Ahh yes. We commented out /cache since it requires a partition we dont have.

I guess normal android devices have a partition on nand just for this .

#mount yaffs2 mtd@cache /cache nosuid nodev

Also i commented it out since dzo apparently does it on the initrd.

mkdir -p -m 0777 /data/tmpcache
ln -s /data/tmpcache /cache

I guess the above should be moved out of initrd and moved into android to comply with future builds.. Good call.. must add it to the task list..

First off, thanks to you guys who are way smarter then me. I've been following this thread since day one. Anyway, I have spent the last couple of hours running on NAND!!!

It took me a few tries to get up and running. The install-seq.sh file was not mentioned in the frst post. But once I moved that over, all was well. I'm using the files from the 23rd.

Most aspects are working just fine. I have a 400 model on Sprint, and data is not working over the Sprint network. I am getting texts and the phone works. Wifi works great though. A reboot worked fine.

I'm ready to continue testing as required. Booting off NAND was awesome! I can't wait till data is working and all current mods are incorporated into NAND.

Let me know if anyone needs testing done or a custom rom tested for them.

hey steve i know im going to sound stupid and all but did u set up an apn that says sprint and #777 cuz without it aint no sprint user gettin data almost everyone knows it if they used tiad8's roms or anything that boots thru haret console basically

[vistazifta]

and now for my stupid question being that im using a sprint branded rhod400 unlocked to gsm and i have to change cdma=1 to cdma=0 so gsm will work i probably have to compile a new tiboot right and if so can i just dump it into the nbh that has everything else already
