ok i tried the method that artlan posted but i'm not sure if i am doing it right. i was able to create the system.ex2 file but it does not want to boot for me. i am not sure how to change the files in the system. the project has been abandoned so i'm not sure where to get help on this one. artlan if you have a sec, pm me and let me know what worked for you.

Package is uploading now. First post will be updated in ~20 minutes.

So your own build is it a compiled from the eclair tree? or what?

I'll PM ya - but will post in here too in case any one else is trying it

After I ran the script and got the "Done" message, I rebooted into WinMo and hooked up to my PC. Deleted the system.sqsh file and renamed the "NEW_system.ext2" to "system.ext2". That's all I did - then ran Haret and Android came right up.

To note - All my android files are on the root of the SD card. I haven't played with moving them around anywhere else. (Figured if it's not broke.... leave it alone XD)

It's not compiled at all. it's just all the pieces from the other packages put in one place.

(System.sqsh is just the March 1st xdandroid one.)

(I want to put something together so that the community can contribute to one android system package... but I haven't figured out the best way to do so yet.)

ok, just clarifying -- there's a line in the init script to boot off of system.ext2. But not system.ex2. Not sure if that's actually the issue, or if there's something else.

It should work fine from the andboot subdirectory or from sdcard root.

ohhh... and thanx hamac for the MMS settings, you rock man.

EDIT 1: this no good for nothen piece of battery i have is telling me that after all the posting ive done today and downloading the newest that youve posted, and unzipping through the TP... and watching an episode of Southpark for lunch...jejeje, and doing this post... that its at 23%... DANG IT!! I dont even think thats enough to boot into Android, much less, playing with it. I guess ill have to wait to get home 2nite and continue. That sux major @$$...

THANKS AGAIN MAKK, HAMAC, AND ALL OTHER DEVS, CANT WAIT TO GET HOME TO MY PWR SUPPLY AND THERE ILL GO AGAIN...JEJEJE

[arrrghhh]

Yea if you're not near a charger at work, I wouldn't recommend using Android. Or watching SP episodes for that matter :P

I run Android all day, but I also pretty much leave it on the charger.... all day... I try to get baselines for how long the battery will last, but every time I use the device the gauge jumps around so much it doesn't really seem to matter. The only time the battery status is stable is when it's not in use... *sigh*

thanks for that. when i originally tried it i received the not responding error a few times, and i don't think it ever really completed. tried again and got the not responding message but only once. then it read done. rebooted and changed the name/deleted the sqsh and booted android again and it worked.

the rootexplorer is in chinese for me but i think i figured out the first button is to install. so i'm able to change out the apk's at will now.

makk i believe your right when you say that the mms.apk isn't our issue but i'm going to play with it for some time anyway to see if i can get it to do something different. i read something on xda that the hero users had to modify the apk to get thier mms to work. hoping i can find something out to apply for us. will let you know when and if i find anything.

I was talking to someone in the Sprint Hero forum, and they said the hero people had to rebuild Mms.apk and add:
Code:
req.addHeader(HDR_KEY_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, HDR_VALUE_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE);//add X-MDN http headerTelephonyManager teleMgr = (TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context .TELEPHONY_SERVICE);req.addHeader("X-MDN", "1" + teleMgr.getLine1Number());
to com.android.mms.transaction.HttpUtils


I tried and no go. We'll have to look into replicated what WinMobile is doing.

now how do you get into the ril to make changes there?
