first of all, a big up to dj_steve for his good work!!!
I've just a couple of questions:
how do you turn off your phone when it runs android?
I used your last files and wifi does'nt seem to work with me. What do I have to check/do in order to make it work properly?

Thanks again and keep going!!!

Regards
JackBoy

you have to pull battery to power off at moment, wifi works for me after 2 reboots so id give that a try,

phone most likely as its the next logical step

hi dj_steve,

i have followed your steps from your video. i used gparted to make partitions, made 4 partitions for my 8gb. 2 for win, 1.8 for swap, 1.8 for ex3 and another 2 gb for ext3. extracted the rootfs in the last ext3 using the ubunto extraction. and varified the folders in my partition. when i boot the phone, i can only see booting from internal flash. dont see any option for booting the android. what i have done wrong?

as said you need bootmenu installed, but even then it wont boot as you have partitioned card incorrectly

@new_beee: you have to create a file named "android.ext.item", save this file in /etc/bootmenu.d/
edit this file and insert:
Code:
ITEM_NAME="Android (external SD, partition 3)"
ITEM_ID="android3"                        
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p3"                                                  
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3 fat vfat"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"                                             
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime"
in the section ITEM_DEVICE, replace "3" by the number of your partition containing android.
At next boot, you will be able to choose android (unless I made a mistake!!)

Is a 4GB card big enough and is the image multi language or "only" English?
I have a 8GB card but I want to install MeeGo as well on it as soon as it is available so that I have three operating systems
