[quote=dj_steve]
-- CHANGELOG --
FroYo 2.2 Based(as always for the moment)
Local Version 0.0.5-3
FULL GOOGLE APPS SUPPORT!!! - works perfectly
Lcd density reduced from 240 to 200 - little bit more screen space
Touch Screen Calibration Sorted, near perfect accuracy
Various apps included as per previous changelogs
Init scripts edited in prep for further phone development(no progress as yet)
Restored old Boot Animation
Edited memory management settings to provide speedier experience (in my opin)
Sensors and Accell libs integrated - accell is not perfect
Bluetooth Added
Charging (via Mains) works
Battery Reporting Fixed (obviously LOL)
Swap Partition from maemo activated in android(rarely used but hey try finding an android device with 1gb ram )



This Is the current Active Project and is Moving at a very quick pace of development.
We were also the first NON-Google Device to get a working (albeit unstable) build of FroYo Going that i know of - had it running within ~ 24hours of the source being released

Current Port Info:
* Dual Boot With overclocking in maemo And Fairly Stable
* Using FroYo 2.2
* WiFi Works
* Fairly Fast System
* Keyboard Works
* Sound via Speakers and phone headset.
* Sound recording should work too
keyboard has been remapped as follows:
left + right arrows = duplicate volume controls
up arrow = home (hold for tasklist)
down arrow = back
backspace = backspace

this can be reverted by downloading http://downloads.nitdroid.com/omap_twl4030keypad.kl into the /system/usr/keylayouts folder and replacing the current file

* eMMC/SD Card Mounting is broken in Froyo at moment due to android 'Vold' mounting service throwing tantrums about certain kernel features, it is being looked at and fixed though :)

Currently Being worked on/looked at:
* Phone/3G
* DSP
* Graphics Accel
* Sound Further Support

Confirmed working on n810. :)
Was able to connect to my WPA2 network and surf the web. Hardware keyboard was also working.
Performance was not really good though. Wouldnt call it usable yet.
But great work so far! And a big THANK YOU! :)

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

first boot is always slower anyway as Donut needs to Dexopt all the apps and it doesnt until you run them so rerunning preused apps will be faster but yep i know its not particually quick, could you do me favour and open the app menu goto dev tools and find the option that says show cpu usage and turn it on, it will give a red and green bar at top of screen can you look at the green bar and see if it moves or seems stuck at a certain level all the time ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

if i do nothing the green bar is always about one millimeter long.
if i try to stress the device, then it wont take more than 1/2 of the screen's width.

so yep, it moves.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

good its not pegging the cpu < good for battery life :D thanks for that

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Unfortunaly it randomly freezes, so I have to take the battery out often. Sometimes it reboots by itself.
I also get unexpected closes of random applications.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

yeah i know of that, if i rem right it has gapps in that build though which is half the problem i think

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

Hmm now I am unable to enable wireless lan. I guess I will wait for a next build. If you want to me to do further tests with this build, let me know.

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

wifi seems to work quite happily here like - let me guess wifi freezes the device ?

Re: [Android] NITDroid V2 Development Topic
 

No matter how often I try to reboot and take the battery out, I am not able to get wireless lan back, it just says "unable to scan for networks" when I try to enable it.

And yes it froze before, when it asked my to type in my wireless key again (for whatever reason), after that wireless seemd dead.
