Root MiKingdom-Beta 2-(7/10/2011)

Negatory. What do these do?
Downloading this tonight.
I assume this requires the SD partition?


Lol what they say, let you run ubuntu on your phone :) in the tablet world we are working on dual boot linux. Some devices can. On my transformer I can boot linux with rootfs but I have to flash back to android to go back, its not dual boot yet so I was looking at those apps and wondering if they worked and how.

Its actually pretty sweet. Runs well, small foot print on the ram. Touch screen works, on screen keyboard. The beauty of the transformer is that good implementation of the keyboard dock though, basically makes a laptop in netbook size. You can usb a mouse to it also. Couple things aren't working yet, touch pad on keyboard dock, speakers, hdmi out audio, hdmi works though. We have to boot from micro sd with a root file stem. Basically it changes the boot image and leaves everything else in tact so you can flash back and forth between honey comb and ubuntu, not true dual boot yet.

In short its not a finished product but its worth looking at, is easy to set up, has massive potential and is worth a flash.

I've been checking this out over the past few days. For those that have flashed it, what do you think? If you were running Mik's 2.2 how do they differ?

Not the same rom;) MikG is Sense 2.1 + 3.0 whereas MiKingdom is Sense 3.0. MikG is also based off of Evo Shift and MiKingdom is based off of the Kingdom
