Thanks for the advice dude, I give a try inmediatly.

I tried te rootfs and the herald cab works fine for me I my orbit.
The GSM works I receive a phone call and a SMS too and both works.
Need more work for let use the buttons: the right softkey and windows button type "6" and "N" and "M" respectively, and We need a back button urgently
If i use the wizard or prophet cab I use android in portrait because all is in landscape.

Can this be installed on a memory card or does it have to be installed into the device memory

Can this be installed on a memory card or does it have to be installed into the device memory

I think must be installed in SD Card because I dont have enough space in my device memory to install

 

[pablo34]

thanx ryomahino, but i just cant seem to get it to work

 

[ryomahino]

Well I just make the steps posted in first post and wait.
Now I can run android but the buttons are not mapped yet, but xplayerku is working on that and maybe Darkstar can have a board support for artemis soon.

 

[pablo34]

Oh ok thanx for the reply, ill just wait for the board support

 

[pablo34]

have you gotten the buttons to work??

 

[Op15L]

Android update

Hi Guys,

This rom cannot be updated on shady 313 WM6.5 Rom. if you want to update android you should change your operation soft ware to any other one.

its not a rom
it's still experimental
it isnt finished yet
getting it run on half working hybrid 6.5 rom will be quite far down the priority list

just for the developers information, it runs fine on pdhee's last 6.5 rom...or rather it did until i tried it this morning and it crashed out with the kernel error that others are reporting (cant mount fs).

reading the dev lists it looks like some poeple think this is an sd driver issue or something that was introduced in the new version

waiting for a fix anyway

 

[cuzzo94]

hi..... i found this http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/w...sid=376427fb5e6d23cdd5c037d34389f847&start=10

i'm not a programmer and i can't compile kernel but i think this ca help you....
is there any guide for compile the kernel? i've downloaded the sdk on the mac os...
sorry for the english

 

[ryomahino]

cuzzo94 the page that you found is the page for this project
the reason for that you dont close applications its because until now we dont have mapped the hardware buttons.
xplayerku is working on that and maybe darkstar too (i hope so).
BabelOued work in a similar project few years ago.

Hi,

Did you see that i do all job your are doing again ? one year ago, check kernel here with all driver working for artemis, missing wifi / battery / sound now.

http://git.linuxtogo.org/?p=groups/mobile-linux/kernel.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/htc-omap

like he said he has working some drivers.
Maybe some programmer could mix the 2 projects.

 

[cuzzo94]

do you will relase a new version with mapped buttons?

thanks!

 

[d-signet]

if you read the thread, they are discussing making a specific artemis board config.

i think this needs to be done before we get any more progress

once the board config is done for artemis it can be fixed to run properly, but we need to wait for them to do this.

at the moment there are board configs for wing, prophet, herald and wizard, but no artemis so our phones are being booted pretending to be one of these 4 devices (which is why it doesnt quite work properly yet)

 

[cuzzo94]

ok thanks!
good job
