i can't get this to work..

followed the directions..placed all the files in internal storage root, replaced the zImage, changed the startup to match the one in OPs post.. when i fire it up, it keeps coming back with "warning bus busy" message. tried having it hooked up to ActiveSync, same result. Then I set it up as Disk drive, unplugged it from computer, ran it again and same result. any insight? thanks for the help.

*** EDIT ***

Finally got it to work... I don't know what caused the problem but deleting the data.img from the root and running it all again seemed to fix it.

i can't get this to work...all it does is load up to the black screen with android and then acts like its loading then turns my phone off...tried deleting data.img too and still the same...

Try booting with it plugged in. That fixed it for me.

Yeah, for some reason it's either not recognizing the battery or is unable to determine the battery level, so it thinks the battery is dead and powers off. Plugging it in should fix it if you're lucky. It took me forever to get it to boot, and the time it booted I didn't even have it plugged in, but android thought it was plugged in, so it worked. Either case, the goal is to get android to think it's plugged in.

It worked for me although being usable is another story.
But hey props on what we have so far.
I wouldn't mind having a more modern OS on my phone one day.

It's pretty slow. I don't believe there's any GPU acceleration for the DIAM500 at this point.

Any further developments? Are the extra commands at the end of the txt file necessary?

Well they released a new package 3 days ago, but only for GSM. I'm going to see what I can do to make it run correctly.
