ANDROID on A1200E

[Rokrer]

Why the silence here? I am trying to start android and i have zygote problem. Do you have this problem ?.

My steps to start is: I have the second partition if flash card - ext2. In this partition i put the angstrom, and i create directory android. Then i put into android folder the folders system, data from emulator. then i write some scripts:

1) /android/a.sh
#!/system/bin/sh

export PATH=/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/system/lib
export ANDROID_ROOT=/system
export ANDROID_ASSETS=/system/app
export ANDROID_DATA=/data
export EXTERNAL_STORAGE=/sdcard
export DRM_CONTENT=/data/drm/content

mount -t proc proc /proc
mount -t sysfs sysfs /sys

/system/bin/app_process -Xzygote /system/bin --zygote &
/system/bin/dbus-daemon --system &
runtime

2)/bin/a.sh

#!/bin/sh
umask 000
chroot /android /a.sh

And add into /home/root/.profile the line /bin/a.sh

Then i have a compiled android kernel with openezx patches and kernel modules what i put in /lib/modules.
When i load the kernel to the phone(usb_boot) i see the angstrom loading and then when starting androids init the loading stops on zygote...

Do I miss something? Who want to help me with starting android - write me...

Just found this on youtube: [ame="http://youtube.com/watch?v=072hUNtQfNc"]Android on A1200[/ame]
OT: Anybody trying to do the same on the older EZX devices, like E680* or A780? It might be easier, as these have better OpenEZX support.

Yes, the screen would work if tried on A780 or E680.

Already have this results month ago on my E6. Found that android works with FB quite different (see here). That's why we see two quite identical frames side by side.
So we need to patch ezx fb driver to get the picture right. And there is (possible) 18bpp trouble again.

That's what fbset tells me before and after android start

mode "240x320-57"
# D: 5.200 MHz, H: 18.571 kHz, V: 56.793 Hz
geometry 240 320 240 320 18
timings 192308 20 10 3 2 10 2
accel false
rgba 6/12,6/6,6/0,0/0
endmode

mode "240x320-57"
# D: 5.200 MHz, H: 18.571 kHz, V: 56.793 Hz
geometry 240 320 240 640 16
timings 192308 20 10 3 2 10 2
accel false
rgba 5/11,6/5,5/0,0/0
endmode

I'm so inconversant to linux kernel hacking, framebuffer and all this stuff so i've give it up.
