Android release on HTC Apache *CDMA Works!*

[pio_masaki]

Well I only use firefox, my issue wasn't with the dl it was with the transfer, so I blamed AS on my extension getting dropped.

Side note, I know this is still very rough, but is there a way to have it run like normal, not from an image? I mean give it an entire SD card, then it can use it as its own little SD card or hard drive or whatever it wants. I'd like to install/add some software to mess around with, but I don't see how. I don't even see a command line (come on, it's linux!) to add/mount/whatever packages and whatnot. If I have to add it directly to the emulator on the phone or it's image thats fine, just lemme know how, or point me to where I can find out, so far no luck other then the VM for desktops.

I noticed these suggestions were made earlier in the thread, as well as the first post, but since some don't seem to notice, heres some tips:

Check ALL of your file extensions after being put on your SD card ROOT. They have to be exactly as they are on the site.
Check that windows (your desktop and phone) will SHOW extensions, this can cause some confusion as they are right, but windows hides them.
For those that dunno, SD card root means on the SD card, NO folders, no directories, just plop them all right on the SD card so it's the first thing you see when you open it.
Make sure your radio is ON, no flight mode. WiFi, BT whatever else OFF.
I would not reccommend leaving the phone plugged in, charger state is not working, so it can overcharge your battery. Battery status is not working, so you have to guess how long you have left till death, then once plugged in, how long till it charges. Just don't leave it plugged in for hours while in android.
Give the first boot about 15 mins before you decide its hung up, it takes a LONG time first boot, every boot after is very quick. If you get stuck at jumping to kernal after the first successful boot, restart as it hung up, mine does once out of every 20 or so runs.

I've done this on linux and android (basically the same) one two apaches so far, so if you need help feel free to PM me or post here.

Ok, to help with the idea of how long you should be waiting, I made a video of mine booting into android, so now you should have an idea of how long each stage lasts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RilNAk48fZc

I was bored when I did this, and wrote a more in depth guide to installing and running this, if anyone is interested I can post it up. Yes, it's a bit on the long side, but details more of what happens then the usual "just wait for 15 minutes."
