Hi Sanvy, Thanks for you how-to. One question: did you use the community release for this or did you try this on the Koolu Beta7? Just to make sure that, if we want to include this information on the community wiki this will work on the community release. Thanks. Feel free to start using http://groups.google.be/group/android-on-freerunner for future postings. Niels.
