blinking green led

[arrrghhh]

But that blinking only applies to the testing kernels - the autobuild kernel doesn't exhibit this behavior...

It boggles my mind how someone can manage to download a testing kernel, but not even bother to read anything in the thread from which they downloaded said testing kernel...

As afairly new user to the forum I can only speak to my experience. Not to knock the forum or admins, but info on the site is like a jailbreak, it's everywhere. I know they try, but it seems hard to get current info on anything. I just look thru the threads and if I find cobbled install instructions, I try to follow them. I have no idea where they are taking me. I am trying to learn as I go, and I do more lurking than posting, just wanted to give my $.02

an example of current info would be.
1. the current version of zImage.
2. What are modules? I know I need them, but I don't know why or what they are.
C. Sometimes the instructions are written assuming the user knows what these things are.
I'm not against doing my homework, sometimes It's hard to chase these things down.

What about some kind of 'app store' for these kitchens (am I using that term right?)
Where one can see the differences and compare features against each other.
sort of like a netflix for zips. I wonder if you couldn't get an open source version of
a well known interface and quickly bend it into something a bit more organized.
Maybe include the setup/install in the main zip.
just thinking out loud here...

Not sure how we got from a blinking green LED to this, but if you back out to the main TP2 android forum, look at the threads at the very top of the page (Stickies) and read a couple of them, not even more than the first few posts. There is a lot of information in those, explaining just about everything you may need, and if they don't explain it, there are links in there that will take you to further explanation.

Here, start with this one. Very informative. And if you go to arrrghhh's thread, there is a link to another FAQ which is very helpful too. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/android-tp...1-updates.html

My instructions are pretty clear, albeit not quite as clear in the testing thread - but the main problem is people are pointing others blindly to the testing kernel thread - they're not reading the first post, they just think 'right, there's the kernel... download... install... done!'.

Then they completely forget they did that or where they got it from etc, and post up threads like this.

Also, there's an FAQ which is a wiki - definitely can add more, I think in fact the description of each file and what they do are no longer present, which is yet another thing I should probably add to the FAQ.
