Android For The Vogue Is Here!!!

Another question, what service are you using?

Tried this again with sd card out to see if that might be the problem. It will say failed to mount then give the tty error.

On my PC (Vista), it shows as \Storage Card\

My default.txt file is (changed phone number of course):

set MTYPE 1667
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "ppp.username=5555551212@vzw.net ppp.password=vzw msmsdcc_fmax=48000000 quiet"
boot

My storage card is a SanDisk Micro SDHC 8GB and I've got an older build of Android that runs fine off of it (in case that matters).

What do you suspect is going on?

im having the same problems with the new android too

[eTiger13]

im thinking it is either a naming convention that differs between providers or how the sd cards filesystems are formatted that linux might be seeing it differently. i haven't had time to really play with it due to RL issues (got to find a new place to live by Friday)

I'm using an xv6900 on Verizon, original rom. I installed android from the cab test file. It seems to work fine. Browser works, placed and received a phone call and sent and received a text message. Great work.

Sorry..stupid question I'm sure..but..how exactly do you install apps to Android? I was trying to use that pack a few pages back initrd-android but have no idea what to do with it or where to put it

Hey, I have the new version of Android working perfect. Here is my default.txt. This is where I fixed my mount issue.

set MTYPE 1667
set KERNEL zImage
#set initrd initrd.gz
set initrd initrd-android
set cmdline "ppp.username=username@sprintpcs.com ppp.password=password"
console=ttyMSM0"
boot

Now, I do get an error when booting every once in a while, but it doesn't keep it from loading. It's just the way I have the console setup. This should help someone.

Cheers!

Thanks for the default.txt, but what release of android are you using? The newest one I found (someone on this thread created a .cab) doesn't include initrd-android. I'm sure I could rename initrd.gz and try, but I'm guessing that won't work, otherwise you would have just stuck with that file name. What assumptions are you making?

When I try to use it as best I know, I get:

 
Unknown Keyword:
'Console'

If I ignore that, eventually I'm once again stuck at:

 
gzip: can't open '/sdcard/system': File Exists
Failed
Failed to extract system image
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

If I 'ls /sdcard', I can see the contects of my SD card so I know it's reading it. Seeing that, I decided to delete /sdcard/system and /sdcard/system.gz and try again. Now I get an error about /sdcard/system.gz NOT existing. Guess I'll uninstall/reinstall to see if the installer is placing files there.

I have both files, I kept the old and the new initrd files. You can uncomment one, and comment the other no problem. I am running the newest version btw. I can save to my memory card and everything as well.
