"How to Install and Run.

For install:

Download latest build below [Post 4].
Unzip the contents of the .zip file.
Copy All contents of the unzipped file to the ROOT of your Storage Card.

It should look like this.
/Storage Card/
/AndroidApps/
/conf/
/media/
/DEFAULT.TXT
/dm.txt
/haret.exe
/initrd.gz
/rootfs.img
/smem.txt
/system.sqsh
/zImage

To run Android.

Browse to your storage card again and open/run the file Haret.exe.
With haret running, click on "run".
Wait a while. http://forum.xda-developers.com/imag...es/biggrin.gif"

Everthing in the "" was taken from the XDA Thread.
I imagine the only file you'd be replacing is the one linked in the first post. ANd viola.. im at 90 percent done soo ill post some info later.

That is correct delete default.txt and add the startup.txt. I asked some of the guys from xda/htc-linux if we can get whitestone added into the topaz/rhod development tree and they agreed. There is much work to be done GPIO dumps for hardware functionality, etc. this won't be a few weeks project but months to complete probably.

Re: Whitestone Android It Booted!!!

When i run haret.exe my phone just restarts. I replaced default.txt with startup.txt is there something else im missing?
And i put the android folder in the root of my SD like it says. does it have to be an empty SD?

EDIT - Or maybe not i ran it again and now it is sitting there with the tiny words on the screen.... time to wait :)
EDIT II - how long are we supposed to wait?

Re: Whitestone Android It Booted!!!

Just for SnG's I dialed my wifes phone using the android boot.
Her phone actually rang!

But, no sound or anything was audible from the imagio.
Is that a good sign?

Re: Whitestone Android It Booted!!!

My problem is when i run it once it soft resets my phone. When i run it again i let it sit for 30-40 minutes and the tiny text on the screen never moved beyond halfway down my screen. Then i had to use the reset button under the battery cover to reset

Re: Whitestone Android It Booted!!!

Am i understanding this right? DELETEdefault.txt and COPY the startup.txt

EDIT - if i delete default and replace it with startup then i dont get the screen that has the run button. Just the starting linux message box with a loading bar...... sorry i feel like such a http://i594.photobucket.com/albums/t...b_crossing.jpg
