using rhodium as an android development phone

[suree_n]

By the way, Makkonen, is it possible to use Rhodium ubuntu to unsquash and resquash the file system. If possible then how ?

Thanks again for the previous answer, you just prevent me further wasting my time keep trial and error in modifying the system files

I do not think you'd want to try using rhodium ubuntu to do those modifications. (Rhobuntu seems... really hard to use at this point. Touchscreen's weird, keyboard's weird, screen's compressed all to hell.)

There is a way to replace your system.sqsh with a system.ext2 (i.e. a standard, rewritable linux filesystem). Then you'll be able to modify it. On the downside, instead of taking up 50mb on your sdcard, it'll take up 250; it also might be more likely to get corrupted if your phone crashes, so make a backup.

Here's the thread from xda-developers with an app that'll help you do it. I haven't used this myself, but a couple folks from the Touch Pro Android thread have been successful. Good luck. I know a number of people have been looking for Asian font support -- I've just been ignoring them, because I had no idea.

Thank you very much, Makkonen. It looks like seeing some light in the dark tunnel.I have successfully converted the sqsh file system to ext2. But when I try to reboot the rhodium android with new file system, it failed. The system notices that the file system has been modified and seem unable to file several files during the boot. Maybe I have to hard reset the android ?

Hmm. Not sure. Did you have enough free space on the sd card? Sometimes these processes fail when they run out of space, but don't notify you.

I'd try making the system.ext2 again. Missing files would tend to point to something going wrong in its creation. I don't have any better ideas.
