Don't change that, leave it as it originally was.
You must create two partitions on SD, the first is FAT and the second is ext3. You must use Linux in order to create this partition and put files in it. Read http://sourceforge.net/projects/pxadroid/files/SDCard Tutorial.pdf/download

Umm, what type of memory card are you using? Because the support for SDHC hasn't been released yet...?:rolleyes:

No. Mainboard is always the same, only thing are the three different Displays and graphic chip.
Even BA without camera is the same, just no cam mounted and different backcover
(contrary to Harrier).
Did you mention this:
"IMPORTANT format without owner of the file system"

Maybe you should forget the video and perform step-by-step D-Two's tutorial.

Even me zero-percent-ubuntu-user got along with it...

Interesting that there are two different kinds of DoC on the BA. It would be great to know if there's any link between the way BAs are branded (Qtek, Verizon, etc.) and the type of DoC. I have access to two Qtek-branded BAs, is there any way to check what's the NAND type without flashing PXAloader (that is, a way to know from WM)?

I have a few random questions/thoughts to keep the post flowing:

Android runs pretty well at 208 MHz – 416 MHz i think the only slowdowns are the sdcard, ram, and graphics. I benchmarked my class 6 sdcard and the write speed was 6.8 mb/s and read was at 22.9 mb/s, is there a hardware/speed limit on the card reader?

Things should speed up a little moving system to flash if that’s possible right…? <- This should be yes since android gets bogged down a little reading from data & system at the same time, or reading system while trying to write to data

How bad of an idea is it to overclock the processor, ram, card reader, and bus? <- I actually didn’t see a big boost from these; I need to test with an emulator or video.

What file format is everything in that gets flashed using the flashtool?

Is there going to be a set of keys to press to go into a bootmenu?

Comment: Somebody should start a thread for what games/apps work.


And yay!!! we missed our fourms getting closed again!!! Link

Are there non-harrier-verizon-BAs?
I just ask because i only know harriers with totally different board.
btw- obviously my graphic chip thing was quick'n'dirty, but nevertheless there are three different kinds of boards, as those three screens can't be switched.
In practice i didn't ever find a brand-caused difference except front key board, so i'd like to test as many boards as possible- just tell me what to do.


edit: couldn't read the pics on my Ameo yesterday- if i now see the difference lies between Harrier and BA, it's no real surprise, as their boards (mentioned above) are totally different.
