The actual G1 isn't all that slow

There is an alternative however, This link, links to the "Android APK Pack". Its a bunch of Apk files that have been gathered to work on the phone.

Check it out for some giggles.

where do you put these files to use once the andriod is booted up?

are you following the directions exactly? I noticed it will not boot correctly unless I run the haret.exe immediately following a soft-reset.

how far are you getting?

I pointed that out in the 2nd message but I guess PPCgeeks is beginning to relax its rules on reposting. No biggie. The Android progress is a good sign. Now if they can get the phone working... that would be HUGe.

my bad about the repost. didnt see it in TP CDMA and figured the info would be most relevant here since its specific to the RAPH800.

Are you getting a message like:

mmc0: new SDHC card at address d555
mmcblk0: mmc:d555 SU06G (card size)KiB
mmcblk0: p1 <p5>
mount: mounting /dev/mmcblk0p1 on /mmc failed: Invalid argument

If so, I was able to get it working. It turns out some SDHC cards are factory formatted to use an extended partition, but the default is looking for the first partion.

To make it work, edit default.txt and modify the following options:

imgdevname=/dev/mmcblk0p5 imgdevnum=5

(I changed 1 to 5; yours may be different depending on what number you have in <p5>.)

Good luck!
