[FAQ] How to use Android on M8 : tips, problems & other questions ...

thx XD i'm such a type that i would like to make everything now XD

btw took a look at the backup thing and OMG u don't need all apps ? XD and the two links didn't work (only the rapidshare)

Skoddi: I would really appreciate if you can add these games too: MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service

Thanks!

@Skoddi: i will make a package for you with usefull apps then:P
And create a fast mediafire link for you.
Link with apps: coming soon

Be aware that you have limited diskspace left on the mdroid.img. You can install some apps, but not loads of them. Also, most apps are in the low 320x240 resolution, so they are displayed on a quarter of the screen. No real use for them, in my opinion. They do run smooth though.

that is true.

if i have some time i will see if i can find a solution to have them fullscreen.
about the img size, yes.. that is why one should be loading the SD card, but so far nobody speaks loud about that so..

btw anyone installed the new bootloader with portrait support?
i would like to see some pictures :P please share :D

Ok, then i think i'll just wait for a better release, maybe with SD/MMC support so it can read my 8GB drive

that would be the easiest way to try it ;-)+

Does Android runs on 8 & 16GB model? YES look here!

Could someone who has ADB up and running make a new howto with some pictures?
cause since the wiki from r3wdy is down we have lost this information.

Then i can add it to post 1 .

thanks!

Somebody must have ADB running and with the possibility to install apk applications.....

is there already a image with games an apps?

Nope, not yet, would be nice though, seeing some apps running.
But ADB must run, there must be something i am doing wrong...

lvl, did you check xda yet for more instructions/information?

at first, i followed the whole xda tutorial, didn't work so i tryed the mdroid wiki tutorial , still no succes...

I tried to install some applications. I did get connection and it did "push" the app, but the app still wont show up in the menu or installed app list. I'm using W7 and Meizu M8 SE 8gb. So what's wrong?

I have exactly the same problem...
Nobody seems to know what to do....

same here... device is active....push works....but no icon

right! I know i forgot something to test.
Will finally try myself this weekend, but i suspect the main issue is due the missing /disk aka SD drive.

Will keep you guys posted.

Ok, but somebody on this forum managed to get it working...
Only problem is, how?

im sure i had luck XD

Hello,
I decided to check out the Android cause I'm against commercial OS. And to be honest it's a bit better than I expected, runs smoothly (installed a few hours ago). Apps install normally and can executed, but some don't function actually, like the file browser, or snake since we don't have keys on M8.

Maybe folks already tried it, but I suggest rechecking that the path is 'system/app' and not 'system\app'.

I have Meizu M8 SE 8gb, running dual boot at the moment.
PC is a Dell with Ubuntu 9.10.
