Who wants a cupcake?
 

Well, I just downloaded the latest Vogue Android archive from Massey.

Then I:

1) Unzipped and copied everything but the default.txt file into my SD root directory
2) Copied my Titan-flavored default.txt into the SD root directory
3) Rebooted my Titan
4) Started up something that got a data connection running
5) Plugged in my Titan for power, just in case
6) Started up haret

I came back about 15 minutes later, and - Voila! - my "cupcake" was done!

Boy, are those icons tiny! Response time is painfully slow. Also, the screen is inverted by 180 degrees when you slide out the keyboard.

Cheers!

The latest version of Massey's 'cupcake' does, in fact, display the screen upside-down in the latest (190509) version.

I have been playing with the latest few builds of this for the Titan, and I can say this:

1) The startup has GREATLY improved with the 190509 build! (from 3-5 minutes to literally 30 seconds)

2) This is an EXCELLENT preview of what the functionality will be like

3) READ THE README FROM MASSEY! :) The correct keys to press for things like <<back>> are not initially intuitive, but are easy to get used to!

4) If you *manage* to get Togga to connect to the 'net, do NOT use the 'Maps' 'My Location' feature! (It's someone in California!!!!)

5) Most things work, and work slick *(Phone and TXT's work OOB), but remember, this is a 'lets see if we can do it', NOT a 'replacement'!

6) In order to get this running from Massey's:

-Download his latest 'cupcake'

-Extract ALL files to the ROOT of the SD card

-Use an unzip utility to extract 'data.gz', and make sure the extracted file is named 'data.img', then DELETE 'data.gz'

-You *MUST* change the 'default.txt' file, mine looks like this:

----------------------
set MTYPE 1463
set KERNEL zImage
set initrd initrd.gz
set cmdline "ppp.username= ppp.password= msm_sdcc.msmsdcc_fmax=32000000 pm.sleep_mode=0 board-htctitan.panel_type=0 fbcon=rotate:3 mddi.width=300 mddi.height=400"
boot
----------------------

-The important changes apart from the 'vouge' default.txt (I believe) are these:

board-htctitan.panel_type=0 <-- htcTITAN

mddi.width=300 mddi.height=400 <-- Don't do 240x320... TRUST ME! :)


After these changes the Titan *should* boot just fine! :)

I hope this helps, and I will answer any (*see: MOST) questions asked, if any!

Hmm.. I couldn't get Cupcake loaded on xv6800. I have the previous build working, and so I downloaded the newest Cupcake from Massey, and followed your instructions. It starts to boot, but gets stuck on the "Flashing Android Screen" and just stays there and doesn't come out. This is using your default.txt you pasted in above.

Then I tried using my default.txt from Android 1.1 and it just keeps scrolling messages over and over on the console.. never makes it to the Android boot screen (to even flash).

Where do you download the latest cupcake from Magi? Thanks.

You can download it here:

Okay...my turn to ask for a little help.

I've had my Titan on for at least the last hour - probably closer to 90 minutes and I'm still at the linux bootscreen (no penguin on top but the text is still scrolling). All I'm seeing is "start rpc_read_command" then a string of characters...it just does this over and over with different numbers. Am I doing something wrong?

Radio: 3.45.50
ROM: RyanMogul's 6.5 heavy release running in high-mem mode.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Does Magi have a new version up? Because the link on his website is to the last build from March which is 1.1. TIA!

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

As far as I know that's the newest. I checked the thread at xda and didn't see anything else over there.

Re: Linux/Android working on Titan
 

Can I get a little help? I extracted all the files to my SD card, used 7Zip to extract the other file, verified its name, ran haret and it gets stuck.

The last few lines are:

Failed
Failed to Mount SD Card
/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

I then get a blinking cursor

Any thoughts?
