Android 1.5 on Zaurus

In Android source code repository, cupcake (Android 1.5) has been merged to master branch. Current implementation of SystemServer.java throws exceptions and Android doesn't boot up properly.

Quick hack. Let the system thinks battery is healthy. Here's my patch.

Hello, I'm porting Android to Gumstix Verder Pro (Intel PXA270 based).

I have followed instructions to build kernel 2.6.24 and Android from this site (http://labs.beatcraft.com/en/index.php) plus some other modifications (to make touchscreen works).

But when I boot Android running:

chroot /media/card/android-root /init

I see "ANDROID" on the screen, with a blinking '_', and a few seconds later I see a blank screen (black) with a '_' in the upper left corner, no logo, or UI is shown... I've connected a serial cable to board to see the debug output, and this is the result:

root@gumstix-custom-verdex:/media/card/android-root$ chroot /media/
card/android-root /init

init: cannot open '/initlogo.rle'
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
# init: cannot find '/system/bin/playmp3', disabling 'bootsound'
binder: release proc 1229, transaction 37, not freed

android_power: sleep (0->2) at 510161104615 (1970-01-01
00:08:30.161106769 UTC)

nothing more... could you help me or give me some hints?

I have flashed the gumstix with the directfb image (built on my desktop), and the df_dok command and all df tests, pass okey.

Thanks!

I second the comment of the previous poster. Can you put to together a step-by-step idiot's guide to installing Android on the Zaurus 3100?

It would be much appreciated.

thanks.

I try to port Android (version 2.1) to Gumstix Verdex, and i follow the instruction

nit: cannot open '/initlogo.rle'
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
# init: cannot find '/system/bin/playmp3', disabling 'bootsound'
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

According to your comments, it seems that Android 1.5 don't work on Zaurus today isn't it ?
