Linux/Android working on Titan

[Damager]

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

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...

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

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

Ecko has a background theme



Google Maps with Street View is Nice



On screen keyboard is the only way to type

Nice screen shots. Did you do a youtube of how fast the interface is?

I'm intrigued.

How did you get the onscreen keyboard to come up? Also, which version of Android are you using?
