[android-porting] Android 1.0 Release Ported to Nokia N810

2008-12-02 Thread Peter McDermott
Hi, all, We ported the Android open-source release to the Nokia N810. This involved patching the 2.6.25 Linux kernel with the N810 drivers and hacking the userspace just a bit. The system can boot, WiFi doesn't work (so no Internet access), and you have to pull the battery to power it off. Bu

Solca, We downloaded and tried your new kernel today on one of our N810s. We had some trouble -- seems the screen is often black. Yongjun checked and he thinks this may be related to the double framebuffer in your kernel driver. Also, we downloaded your patch and applied it to the latest

If the issue is that the icons are tiny (say 3 pixels by 3 pixels wide) then you need to adjust the density/dpi returned by your framebuffer kernel driver (/dev/fb0) to the Android lower layer. Regards, Peter On Feb 18, 2009, at 12:32 AM, cack wrote: > > Hi Sir, > > I'm porting Android to

David, Do you expect the Dalvik VM would need modifications for MIPS? If so, would it be similar to the changes necessary for bionic (replace some ARM assembler functions/macros with MIPS assembler functions/macros) or would it be more involved? Thanks, Peter On Mar 28, 2009, at 1:19 AM,
