You don't need to mess with uboot environment anymore. Download the kernel in the android forum at forum.koolu.org in the "Android Pre-built image..." thread, where the kernel is under 2M. Android works well, but the phone is unusable still in my opinion. It's so quiet that you can't hear ANYTHI

Hey Craig, Unfortunately your experience matches pretty well the experience I had with the OM2008.8 distro. I switched to QtE 4.4.2 when it came out, and have had a much better experience - I haven't encountered missed calls or SMSs. The only tweaking I did was to turn on suspend in the power ma

First off, I want to thank Tom for the blog pages he has setup. They're a great reference for setting up the OM base software, and really should be put on the main Wiki release pages somewhere. I'd say the out-of-box functionality of most of the OM releases is highly enhanced if you follow th
