You can update any of the files, just DO NOT use the MJGDroidUtil. Update manually.

when you say MJGDroidUtil, you mean the screen that asks what type of phone you have and if i want to force CDMA? if so how do i update manually?
also what about the partitioning and any suggested tweaks, mods, fixes. Everything that not on the "not working list" should work?
edit* the screen alignment seems off. should i just realign? will that solve the problem? i remember this was an issue before

Yes, and there's several update locations. These are the ones I know:

zImage/modules
rootfs
initrd

You may want to do some more reading before you go jumping into anything tho...

Should is a very strong word :P There's some things that may still not work here & there, but for the most part it should all work. There's still random crashes and bugs, so it's not like the things that are working are flawless.

Delete the ts-calibration file and re-run. It'll ask you to recalibrate, be sure to watch it and do it! I think it times out and you'll be stuck with a completely uncalibrated screen.

Re: help with project android launcher

I got android working and installed a few apps like yelp and facebook. I restarted the phone to delete ts_calibration but now when i try to boot android, i get the run default.txt message. I did what fishingmedic said and it still isnt workin. Any suggestions?

You'll have to recreate your startup.txt, and if you stop using MGJDroidUtil, you should be fine.

1) uninstall all android folders from sd and from remove programs (under settings)

2) reinstall the cab and do a soft reset.

3) BEFORE running android go to sd and find andboot folder

4) copy startup.txt file and put in a dif folder so you can rename it
to default.txt

5) copy the file you just renamed and paste it into your andboot folder

6) launch Android

Since doing this I have been able to get android to boot up everytime. If you get a screen that asks something about running default click on it and it will boot up for you.
Thank Fishingmedic for telling me step by step how to do it :hello2:

This worked for me. Thanks Psycho
