mine boots into linux but seems to go into a loop at the flashing red light.. any ideas?

dcd 3.2.5, rom 3.35.04

edit: got the latest version. boots into linux and then comes up with a scren showing time, date, and to hit the down volume for the menu.. so effectively couldnt do anything?

is there a specific cab for the titan?

Does anyone know how to get in contact with the main developer of this program.

Or even better could someone find me the documentation for setting up android to boot on a mobile phone.

I have a ton of Linux experience and could probably customize Android to work perfectly on our Moguls. The Problem is that it is very hard to find out how this guy got things started in the first place.

The developer is "dzo" on XDA.

He is willing to help out with general stuff but the task of getting our keyboard to work is going to be daunting at the very least. HaRET doesn't seem to be too useful for our purposes because the GPIO outputs duplicate on different keys. We need a new tool that can read further into what is going on with the Mogul's keyboard.

Okay I have a neub question here. I have downloaded the latest Android Build from (http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/) and can get it to boot from my SD card but I just get a black screen with the Linux Penguin on it. I let it sit there for over 30 minutes think it was the compressed files trying to uncompress but I am guess that is wrong.

My thought is that I do not have the corrent username for my sprint pcs account.

Here is my defualt.txt

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

I have all files located in
\Storage Card\Program Files\Android

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

managed to get android working on my titan.

things i noticed:

first boot attempt, it said not enough memory, so soft resetted before booting again.

kinda cool watching it boot into linux with the little penguin thing.


limited keyboard function, all i used was Q = menu and caps/lock to close program.

desktop/home screen interface required some decent finger scroll or stylus movement to move back and forth across the 3 screens.

when you open the applications tab, if you scroll down, it's easy to accidentally open a program shortcut.

calls work, calling out, it would take several rings before the other phone would start ringing.

sms - can receive, but couldnt type up a text to reply.

overall, still a lot of work required but lots of potential

You know that you can press your camera button to pop up a full-screen keyboard, right?

I moved my files into \Storage Card\ but Sadly I am still getting A Black Screen with the Linux Penguin on the Top Right corner.

Was my Default.txt file write? User Name Password Correct?

So here were my steps to trying it out.

Put the all files into \Storage Card\
Changed my default text to the following

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

Ran the program haret.exe by going into file explorer
Chose default.txt and clicked on run.

Memory card = Kingston 2gb

Thanks for the response...

wow Im jealous of the G1 and anxious lol a touch pro running the final version would be pretty nice... apple and windows needs to take notes.. I think this is the only home screen that can compete with one of the ones from htc.. dont forget page 24 has some of the buttons for the keyboard and make sure u have an active connection before booting up..

right arrow/enter acts as click/enter/whatever
windows key goes back in menus/home
ok is menu button
enter/up arrow goes down in icons
down arrow/left arrow goes up in icons
Q and A also brings up menu
fn/shift goes up in icons
shift goes back/home


pressing the power button killed the keyboard for me
