If not, then back to android.

That sounds great to me. I'd also like to set it up so we can install recovery, updates, or even system from NAND. LMiller hinted that you might have data working in recovery, and we could totally do an updater that always grabs the latest files right off the site. So exciting

I made the commit to remove replimenu. I did a tiny bit of cleanup while I was at it. I have a couple of other ideas to clean it up further, but I need to test them out first.

Ahh crap. I forgot to tag LMiller on that commit. ACL, any idea how to change the comment? I know git commit --amend works for the current commit, but what about a previous one? Do I have to rebase?

I saw the commits. Looked good to me. Im still stuck with this batt thing. I can recognise when we boot because of the charge but i dont know what to do about it yet. Winmo seems to just monitor the battery startus until its fully charged. It sets the phone to 192mhz and waits like a good boy. If the pwr button is pressed then it will reboot. I dont know if i can replicate all that. I might just send the phone to limbo for now not sure. I'm hoping a9 has some protection so we dont fry the battery incase it does end up going to limbo.

The good change i made was to increase the boot time. Normally we wait 6 seconds but now we detect when its time. So depending on you boot, it can be 1 second to 6 seconds.
