[project]Port android to meizu M8

yeah sorry it was a fresh-fresh link & megaupload was still verifying it :-)

let me know how it runs(& what ce version it is), still need to install it myself to test it :-)

Is there a way to merge both releases?

only if they share sources,
LBE team promised to push it once it runs fine so we will need to wait & see

Thank you, Megaupload overloaded ?? Can´t download...


This version supports only SE with glass-screen....


I saw there relesaed it on AM8 too, so I think the progress is fast with new updates...

This is so cool ANDROID on M8

Thank you to all the people to make a dream true

Come on players! thanks great to hear that
so many people work on android on the M8!

Hey they have the switch off working, and manual screen rotation! that's really cool, I hope the LBE will implement it next!
It seems that with these two things (and heat problem that is still hot), the phone will be great to use!

how do you put the A7 release in english?

Edit:

I have found how to change it:

In Android (obvious), slide the app menu on the right, the go down till the bottom icons, there is a "hammer screwdriver" icon, tap it, then go to the the icon that show a "A ...", then choose the first option and change the language that you want. No need to reboot.

Congratulation again for our chinese friends for their hard work.

The touchscreen won't work for me on my SE 8GB

And the CE version is 0.9.9.17

Good news guys: Google Translate

If I understood it well, the main aspect is that the SEPA group and the LBE Team will work together on Android for M8 now! The LBE Team will put their focus on Android 2.2 and SEPA wants to work on 2.1. In the end they want to put all together to get a working Android for M8.

That certainly means that Android for M8 will come hopefully faster than we expect it.

i most certainly hope so ! 2.2 froyo ftw !

Why they are working on 2.1? 2.2 has a very important improvement, better performence! Its not like camparing between 1.6 and 2.0.

do you really think, you´re the only one, who knows that?

Is there any fresh videos of LBE A7 or SEPA releases? Could anyone do this?

Found a video of the Team LBE a7 Android ROM. I will upload it to youtube.

This is the video:

thanks hondaracer.

Thats not the answer of my question. Pls read it once again.

ok, the answer to your question is:
Not everybody is good at porting android to a new version or platform.
Some are better in adapting existing android to a certain device.

There is a 2.1 build that runs quite well, and no well working released 2.2
so, one team adapts the basic functions of the M8 and explores tweaks for the device while the other team works on a whole new base in hopes that muchof the things team 1 learns can be used on what team 2 does.
It is unlikely that team SEPA would stop doing what they do if anyone told them just to wait to get to start over on 2.2 ^^

It´s definitely the answer. The Android teams (SEPA + AM8) surely know that 2.2 is better than 2.1. But they do have their reasons, why is the development of 2.1 better at the moment.
Be glad and grateful, that you can run Android on your m8. Don´t ask, what android teams can do for you, ask what you can do for them (thx to J.F.K.)

Watch the video I posted. It's doing a multitouch demo on M8RE with PET screen.

Can somebody give me a link to the mdroid.img/mpatch.img used in the video that hondaracer uploaded? All the android images have landscape, but this has portrait.

It would be because it is the SEPA release which has been rotated using the vol/up button.
