How did you take the screenshot?

Great work. Tested on 770, last kernel seems much better.
Few issues:
- according to logcat, it tried to load qwerty.kl as keymap, and it had wrong keys. I used testev to generate this:
- there is a busybox in nit/bin, it also has 'swapon' applet - I set the second partition as swap, this seems to improve the stability a bit. I also used 'developer settings' to keep only last 2 activities, also seems to help a bit.

- adb is still a bit unstable, and the device reboots from time to time.

- Any chance to get at least bluetooth working ( i.e. include pan, etc in the kernel ) ? I tried hciconfig, it complains about a missing firmware - I guess it's in the original rootfs, I'll try to get it from there. I have a bt keyboard - hid would be nice too.

There is bluetooth support in the kernel for the right chip, dunno if Android supports it though. Maybe Solca can tell us more how or if did he got it to run? :)

As for qwerty.kl - there is a second file with the kernel archive - omap-keypad.kl, you should place it in /system/usr/keylayout/ (or symlink the Internal_keypad.kl). Do the same for Internal_keypad.kcm.bin in /system/usr/keychars/ (you should symlink it as omap-keypad.kcm.bin

Adb is unstable due to low memory. Maybe when Solca does the stripped userspace (we don't need 1.2MB phone service at all :) and some more too).

For me, bluetooth always refuses to start..

Great Job!

I could not connect to wifi access point with MAC filter.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Which device?

770 doesn't have wifi yet :)

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Sorry.. I mean in N810 i could not connect to wifi access point with MAC filter, if I disable MAC filter i could connect.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Unless you put the binary config tool on the FAT partition, so Android installs it, the MAC address uses a default value, which is something like 00-02-ee-c0-ff-ee (look back in the thread, search for my username - I wrote a message about it.)

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Very carefully. ;) You can screen capture from the Android SDK, which is using ADB to connect to the device. Unfortunately, as Bundyo has mentioned, the 770 is memory constrained, so even trying to connect using ADB is tricky; trying to get the screen capture requires lots of crossed fingers and chanting.

I suspect one of the first tasks to make this stable on the 770 will be to implement some sort of swap file. If the memory architecture hasn't been altered too far from a stock Linux build, that might not be too difficult to do. I haven't looked into it yet, but I hope to find some time in the next couple weeks to see what is there and find out what is possible.

Re: Another Android port: NITdroid
 

Thanks for the info there, that was basically the route I was going to take. I'm a little disappointed to hear that swapon hasn't improved stability; especially WRT ADB.
