The problem is that usually if there's more than one partition, it's not intentional, and no one's trying to correct for it. Which is why so many people have the partitioning -> not booting problem.

Makes sense, and good to know!

I'm hoping we get a NAND soon, I'm so ready to run this full time!

So we will never get Camera, GPS, or the Battery working correctly ? :(

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

Probably not, unless HTC decides to write us some drivers. :P

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

Never's a long time.

I doubt we'll get them soon. I also doubt there's anything we won't pretty much get... eventually.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

After reading through several pages, I did not locate the info I needed. I have haret and android set up on my phone using the AIO. Worked like a champ, configured up 99 % of what I do in WM6. Set up Dualboot to boot directly in Android.

What I am trying to figure out is if anyone has managed to set up wifi-tethering yet?

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

check post two in this thread. I don't know that anyone has actually used it with raph800, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

I agree with Makk, never is a long time. Just because a NAND is built (which it has NOT yet been built BTW) doesn't mean the progress on the project stops. There has been a NAND to flash for the Vogue for a while, and they still have a couple of bugs to iron out, one being the camera and BT audio (evidently BT anything else works...)

So there's hope that we'll have camera, GPS, USB and all that, but it may take a while. We may never get it, who knows the project could just die if devs lose interest in it. I sincerely hope that doesn't happen, but that's how open source works unfortunately. You can have amazingly fast development cycles if you have a ton of committed developers working on it, or you can have snails pace sometimes completely stagnant projects if no devs work on it... make sense? No one is getting paid by the hour to crank this stuff out, and no company is giving us information to help build this either. So take it or leave it, this is how it is.

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

Very true, people are very dedicated to this. :)

Re: Linux/Android on CDMA Touch Pro (RAPH800)

All of a sudden this time when I try and boot android it keeps looping and never gets through

What do I do ?
