Must be very close, the driver seems to load correctly (slightly modified kernel) ...
Any clue what is missing?

Alsa support? The driver is DSP only (of course I can speak only for 770 and N800).

No success.

Maps loads, but doesn't download any map data.
Calendar loads, but just says "Waiting to Sync" (or something like that), and doesn't do anything.
Gmail crashes immediately after loading.
Same for GTalk and YouTube.

Other problems I've noticed with Android:

The touchscreen is way too sensative. Trying to scroll through a list of things is really tough because i always end up selecting something.
The touchscreen also seems to be miscalibrated . A tap of the screen frequently registers to the right or left of where i actually tapped it.
The On-Screen Keyboard is flaky. It doesn't register taps real well and it is impossible to edit text you already entered into, let's say, the browser. Also when trying to scroll through a list, using the Up/Down buttons, it will say the keyboard crashed sometimes. Even though the Keyboard isn't open...
In addition, it would be great if the settings in Dev Tools->Development were persistent through shut downs. Because my N800 is far too unstable if I don't limit the amount of processes allowed to run.

Thanks for all the work going into this.

Hi, I would like to put android on my N810. The problem is my internal memory card is corrupted. Is there a way I could put in a mini sd card and run android off of that?

Maemo stock runs alsa. This is from mine:

Code:

Nokia-N810-WiMAX-43-7:~# cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [EAC            ]: EAC - OMAP24xx EAC
                      OMAP24xx EAC with codec TLV320AIC33

AFAIK, the driver is fairly open sourced, and a google search points me to the omap-linux mailing list.

@sarathmenon: That alsa layer sits on top of the dsp though. To use alsa on the Nx80 one needs not only the dsp tasks, but also plenty of alsa libraries.

Thanks for clarifying. I haven't looked into it in more detail; I was just poking under /proc out of curiosity. Sucks that we have mostly open hardware, but no good enough free drivers.

When enabling wireless, and going into WIFI settings, I get a device freeze followed by a shutdown. I grabbed the logcat:

It's very likely just something stupid I did, but I couldn't get the new release to run out of the box. The rootfs was missing a lot of seemingly important stuff, like /init, /sbin/adbd, and some other misc files (which seem like they might be obsolete).

After copying them from the previous rootfs, it started up. It looks like stlc45xx.ko isn't working for me either. If nobody else is having these problems, maybe I'll try all of the steps again from scratch. As a note, I'm using an n810.

Either way, it feels like huge improvements have been made in the new version. The background is a great touch, and things seem a bit smoother.

Thanks a ton for working on this!
