android on vox

hey,
lovely work by everyone here..
im rather nave but tryin to play a lil too.
i'v tried running android on my vox but im struck at the following error:-

mount: mounting /dev/block/loop0 on /data failed: Invalid argument
Failed.

pl help.

Looks like one of the Arguments is not Valid^^

Is that the Whole command the init file sends?

If yes then Im a little bit confused. I dont think the Device /dev/block/loop0 realy exists i havent got such a device on my VOX.

can you post the ls of /dev and the ls of /dev/block?

Would be interesting.

Greetings Toasterson

Following is the snap of the error.. hope it helps.

Thanx.

whole keyboard is now properly mapped in runlevel 2 - (networking mode without gui)

android: fn+keys require more changes - in qwerty.kcm like numpad keys on primary keyboard

new: slide_kbd works thanks to darkstar62, power button is properly mapped but ignored by android

N/VOL(up|dow)|RECORD|CAMERA - unchanged due to sending multiple keycodes at single click

m32

PS
1. binary download from: Link - available from 13.12.2009
2. next version (I hope) will be available from wing-linux distro
3. current diffs - Link

These are the init and Kernel Files, you need a Rootfs Image wich is ext2 cause the Kernel only acepts this as rootfs. If it still doesnt boot try Wing Linux and change the Kernel to the one from m32 this worked for me.

ps. Im still categorized as new User and therefore not able too post links

Well it would be bad if it wants to mount /dev/ somewhere^^

Looks to me like an invalid init file try to make a new initramfs with an Correct init file.

You have stored files in non acceptable place - proper one and only one is \Storage Card\linux

just unpack vox.zip in this directory - run haret-0.5.3, press enter, depending of default.txt You will get gui or tui of android working on vox

Hi,

some path are stored hardly in knernel or initrd - read first message from dmesg - can't stat/open file in ... - so they have unpacked linux in wrong place

boots and dies in hardware and keys are useless

just because You have downloaded an image not for vox - but for wings, gene ....

just use the actual wing basefiles and change the kernel to this one.
D-Pad and also the most key should work.

I have build kernel from source with some patches (http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/ticket/40)

qwerty.kcm.bin i have patched by hand - it should live in http://lrk-python.googlecode.com/

but isnt.

rather dead topic - there is no interest to run android on old htc phones like vox - from my side it was only test - to see console and perform some basic gui operations

- vox on wm 6.x is still rendering video better than - 600mhz samsung
