Titan Linux Abandoned?

Are people still working on getting Linux, specifically Android, ported to the Titan? I feel like it's an abandon project, here and on xda-developers. I have been working on it on my own, but my skills in this area are very limited and I am trying to rally a crew or something to put a full effort on it. Anyone game or interested?

Re: Titan Linux Abandoned?

I would totally help if I could man. From what I've read, it seems that there isn't enough ram on the mogul to run the OS. I sure hope I'm wrong.

Re: Titan Linux Abandoned?

It would take some SERIOUS kernel modification to get it to fit on the Mogul's minimal RAM. Like we're talking epic proportions here.

Unfortunately at this time, it doesn't look like its going to happen any time soon.

Well, the Apache boots linux and runs a UI (all the hardware isn't working though), so I'd think the Titan should be able to as well. I don't think it's a RAM limitation. Probably more an information and time deficit.

That's the spirit. What's the deal with the SD driver? Shouldn't we be able to develop one?

Re: Titan Linux Abandoned?

IIRC, the kernel that runs on the Apache is a 2.4 kernel, which is MUCH smaller than the current 2.6 kernel which is the only one that supports the MSM7xxx series of chips.
