much thanks!




ps i'm a chinese student ,my english is so poor,haha~

Hi gaobingquan, welcome!

Your english is good my friend !
Am i understanding you correctly that you would like the use the so called /disk from WinCe or ..?

If so look here .


ps you could try from busybox or terminal by doing;

Code:

# mkdir /mount/disk
# mount /dev/sd*2 /mount/disk
# cd /mount/disk
# ls

* letter of your SD card within /dev
find out with adb from command-line:

Code:

adb remount
adb shell
su
cd data/app
ls

Thanks!I'm so exciting that you can understand me ~
I'll try ~
Thank you ~

thank you evow...

and which version of the sdk do we need? the version mentioned in the howto or 1.5 or 1.6 !?

thanks
raoul

Hi raangu,

The howto i added for the ones who wanted to know more about it.
if i am right the release for m8 is Android Cupcake 1.5, so you better use that one for now.

The instructions i posted should normally work, but i can not say since i am still awaiting my replacement M8...
If it does not work out, you could allways build an android kernel with Bill his instructions then it should load every boot i think.

has someone tried it with windows 7 ?

for me, the driver doesn't work!

edit: hmm, also doesnt work in windows xp.... for windows 7 there was a solution "on google".... PDANet.... but also this doesn't work for me.... a new hardware is shown but the driver doesn't work i will try later :D

Hi raangu,
what driver do you mean?

edit2: hahaha, did a restart, now it works :D



the driver for the phone, first, it won't install, now i installed the device with the driver....
but when i open adb ("adb shell") adb shell starts but can't find a device

edit: usb debuggin is on !

So that is a bit good news.

you could try to look here for some more details :
bbs meizu

edit, or you could ask jorge_regula, he was willing to write an howto on it.
(can not do it myself, still do not have my m8 back )

what version of the adb.exe are you using ? The version bill posted didn't work for me, I used the adb.exe from the android 1.6 sdk. You can find it in the sdk file, in the /tools folder. You could also copy the adb.exe and the .dll file to your windows/system32 folder.

Android SDK | Android Developers

If you got the driver up and running, put the adb.exe and the .dll in an easy accesible folder ( like c:\meizuandroid ), and run cmd. If you use 'adb devices', and one shows up, then you can use your m8 for adb.

For transferring files you can use the push & pull commands.

I've tried transferring an mp3 file to it, to see if the music player detects it, but don't know where to copy it. I've also tried copying ( using pull ) all the files to my pc, and didn't see a media folder. The mp3 file I copied to it came up as an unknown file.

.apk packages do work though, but some require buttons to be used, so you can't control or exit them ( soft reset required ).

Also, the 'adb uninstall' command didn't seem to be working, so the files are kept in your mdroid.img, so be sure to make a backup of the original file if you just want to experiment.

If anyone has anymore questions, I'll try to answer ( I'm not an expert myself ).

I still don't understand how to mount the /disk ( sdcard ) into android.

jorge_regula,
You could open a thread in the software part with some screenshots on how to do it andsome information,
you could also add a list of apps/games that run on the M8?

I think many users would be happy with that topic?

edit just saw there is one on Andriod wiki for M8 at this link
ofcourse one in the forum is allways welcome to make sure information does not get lost!

Well, I don't think making a seperate thread for it is necessary, not just yet. No one will be using android on daily basis, since it has no practical use yet ( this doesn't mean that I don't like your project, not at all ).

Once it will be up & running fully, and the android market is not working ( or you're not willing to use the android market - wink wink - ), then someone will make it. Me, or someone else.

EDIT : I have adapted the wiki somewhat, I hope r3wdy doesn't mind. Perhaps the wiki can be stickied ? Nice2know_u ?
