well, i got bored at work today and decided to give the new zImage a shot.
i figured since i couldn't get my 512SD card wouldn't mount, maybe with the new zImage and SDHC compatibility, i could finally run this up and running. so i tried and it worked like a charm!...very cool. its a bit unstable, i can only seem to play for ~5mins at a time before the end key can no longer back me out and i am forced to soft reset, but cool nonetheless...i will be keeping an eye out for future updates....thanks to all of those involved....you rock

The keyboard, for example, doesn't show up weird on Vogue, or so I'm told.

What we need is some people with technical skills in here working with the lower level hardware drivers.

The keyboard is aligned properly on the Touch... but you can fix the alignment on the Mogul yourself... its just a matter of getting the changes committed to the image file... the system freezes before I can shut the phone down so I always lose all my changes.

I am having trouble Telnet'ing and SSH'ing into my phone as dzo stated we could. Has anyone else been able to do this?
By the way, I know we all love android, but what about the possibility of a distribution like Xanadux or something more developed and stable. We have the tools now and I think we should explore all of our options

Oh, and if anyone wants to attempt to map the GPIO functions http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/H...0Documentation this page has a lot of documentation. Quite honestly I don't know what to do after the buttons have been mapped but for anyone with a little more experience have at!

The originator of this thread has been trying to get Linux to boot on the Titan for a long time now, with a thread over at XDA if I recall.
L33t, have you given up on that, or what?

I was trying to get linux running but I am not a kernel hacker. Therefore at this point I am not much help.

I was trying to edit the android images to get GPE running but they will not boot. I know that I need to edit the initrd but that is part of the kernel and I haven't had much luck.

I wonder if we could get the SD driver from dzo, and try compiling our own kernel. I dream of the day we can run a full distribution of Linux on our Titans...

man this thing is sweet.. id just love to say goodbye to windows mobile!

formatted all of my sd cards to fat32 a second time using windows, still no luck... I wonder if I have a different hardware version on my sd reader like someone was mentioning before...

this is so out of wack that i'm wondering if it's possible to become stable and usable. that's jus how far gone it is. it reminds me of an Atari system.

It's not really that far gone, actually. The main problems are just hardware mappings and drivers, and surprisingly a lot of the hardware drivers are working fine. I think if I had time to work on it I could probably get the keyboard working; I've worked on linux ports to handhelds before. Unfortunately, between school and work... all we really need, though, is someone with some linux kernel development experience and a mogul handheld to spend some time on it, and I can see this as becoming a full blown fully usable replacement OS.
