wow I've already saw this ... I'll try it later.. but there is something problem with the battery of Universal
If your Universal has been upgraded to 128MB RAM, I think it might worth bringing your Uni to life, at least judging by others' feedback. However, it's unusable on 64MB RAM Universals, as I have experienced myself.
But I'd advice not to buy a new screen just for hopes of running Android on it, in the end, I don't think that at this stage this Android port even has a working Phone/Messaging function.
notime, are you still developing this? (I guess not)
Not as much as i used to or would like. And when i was working with froyo i did have text messaging working and receiving and making calls but i never got the microphone working. But i also think that this will never be good enough for daily use...having no GPU cripples android.
Does that mean that all android phones have a GPU? Including Google G1 (Dream)? I would be quite happy if Uni could run just android 1.6 just like G1. It would be quite enough. G1 has 192 MB RAM which is more than 128MB (Uni's maximum) but not that much more. And CPU speeds are just same (528 MHz).
Froyo 2.2 is more hardware demanding than 1.6.
EDIT: Yeah, I found it on wikipedia, the G1 has a combined CPU/GPU processor...
As I good see the source code is on Android's servers. I'm now downloading it.

@notime2d8
How do you use the Loox touchscreen driver in your Kernel ?
you can use the tsc2046, can't you?
Nope, i could never get it working. Even with all the correct settings i got no input. It would save me some trouble if i got it working...
Hmm, OK... What do you think about merging our work (kernel and rootfs)? We could work on it together, maybe we'll get it work!?
OK, no answer is an answer, too
Here two patchs for using the normal ads7846 driver :
Let's not be like that, i've been just a little busy lately and i'm typing this while at work... But yeah that sounds like a good idea but i don't really know the best way to go about it. I have a lot of tweaks/patches ontop of my cm7 source code and some is a little messy. But if we can figure where/how to host it i could do some cleaned up patches for cm7 and a 2.6.36 kernel. How are you loading android, with a rootfs on a partition or a system.img file on the sd card?
And thanks so much for the patches, i'll try them out later. That was one of the things that kept me from switching kernels.
Any progress? I haven't Universal now, but maybe I'll soon buy it again...
New version. I have hope notime2d8 talk more about. Now I can talk only that it is some files and you must copy it on SD.
