bump any progress peeps :)

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Nothing new over here. I was able to boot Android 2.1 on the n900, but that was only after playing around with the omap framebuffer driver that doesn't support page flipping. I don't think anyone wants to see android only take up half the n900 screen :-)

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

any progress is good progress! Keep up the playing, maybe some day it will work as we all hope.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Ok, so here it where it stands now. Android 2.1 boots on the N900, keyboard works, still no connectivity yet.

I've gotten the wl12xx wifi driver to load, but the wpa_supplicant has problems scanning for access points and its a kernel issue thats not supported. I even tried using the wlan 1251 driver from TI, but it fails when loading. And the drivers from http://linuxwireless.org fail to load also.

Bluetooth using rfkill doesn't seem to be supported either even if I enable it in the kernel.

Still kickin though! If anything I would at least like to get wifi working.

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Thanks for the update!

Have you got the touch screen all sorted out now also?
Would love a list of what's functional and what isn't. =)

Such as:
- Phone
- SMS
- Music player
- Camera
- Video Calls
etc etc...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I think a lot of people would be interested on this project :D

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Sure thing.

Functional:
Touchscreen
Keyboard - have to find replacements for home,back,end, phone keys
Wifi - just got this working today! :-)
SD mounting

Not Functional:
Sound
Bluetooth
Charging
Battery Status
Phone
Accelerometer
Unlock/Lock switch on the right side
Microphone
etc...

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

I'm just spying on this project :D I hope to get my hands on the final product very soon on my N900. You get my full support guys!

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 

Okay. Charging/Battery is very important. :p
Then full phone functionality (call/sms) is next.
Then sound for music playback.
These alone would be good enough for me. =)

If you can get them working, would love a alpha-release to the public. :D

wowsers! bdogg you are making awesome progress. Are you trying to be a 1 man wrecking crew when it comes to getting this running or are up for help? (not from me;) The reason I ask is that it seems like you are making a lot of progress yourself but might move even faster with multiple eyes on what you are doing.

Unrelated Rambling:
I never really understood how so many people got involved with making the Mer alternative when an open source, portable OS (Android) has been out there, waiting for someone smarter than I to port it to my beloved sidekick in the N810 (unless there is a huge, impassible obstacle).
