WOO HOO now wheres jerry to help bob out

Bob posted those a little while ago, and Jerry's already playing with it. It boots, but almost nothing works, like wifi, bluetooth, gps, etc.

booting is half the battle.... the guys on the optimus m forums are working on it

 

[brotherswing]

I know, I'm pretty jazzed. I just hope I can find a kernel that'll work with both ICS and GB, so I can play around with multiboot!

 

[bigsupersquid]

the heroc guys who got it going early were using a gingerbread kernel with driver mods, i believe.

 

[cammykool]

dude you are PUMPED about this multi boot thing!

 

[cammykool]

i bet it was like this with the first GB rom for the OV

 

[cammykool]

and look at us now

 

[brotherswing]

dude you are PUMPED about this multi boot thing!

Damn skippy I am! I've had multiboot pc's since the days of Red Hat 6/osr2 on my Pentium 75, and having my phone do it would just be a nerdgasm squared!

 

[cammykool]

i may be only a kid but i get where your coming from! i wonder if we can get ubuntu booting that would be SWEET

 

[brotherswing]

You mean like this?

 

[cammykool]

okay err WINDOWS hahahahahahaha

 

[benslgdroid]

There's an app that does everything for you but the image for ubuntu is 5gb and until I get a larger card I don't have room. I'm going to see if that works for the hulu site when I get a bigger card

 

[cammykool]

i may be getting a 16gb card for christmas ill check it if so

 

[brotherswing]

okay err WINDOWS hahahahahahaha

Hey, we could run it on this!

 

[bigsupersquid]

actually, the multirom boot manager looks like an excellent way to really boot into a Linux install without having to fight with Android for permissions and such.

i prefer debian to Ubuntu myself, seems less bloated and the current releases still support armv6 (our cpu family) while ubuntu dropped support for less than armv7 before it's current incarnations.

 

[brotherswing]

I'm going to check the Slackware sight for processor support when I have more time for tinkering. I live by the motto that if you learn Ubuntu, you know Ubuntu. If you learn Debian, you know Debian. If you learn Slackware, you know Linux. But we're here to talk Android, not Linux. (Wow, that statement just sounds...wrong. )

 

[cammykool]

Hey, we could run it on this!

is that like a first android?

 

[brotherswing]

Much worse. It's a Motorola Clutch from Boost.

For the ultimate geekgasm, download the following, reboot, then stand proud with your chest puffed till your pocket protector pops out.

Note- they are actually kinda handy to have for basic debugging as well

 

[brotherswing]

That's wicked cool!

 

[cammykool]

so what does that have to do with ics

 

[brotherswing]

He's just following the tangent.

 

[cammykool]

You're right, sorry, thought the question about ICS was answered. I shouldn't hijack your thread, I apologize.
