[project]Port android to meizu M8

still no market, has to be a provider that has got rights... my vodafone sim doesn't work

So in new version is not english? What if I use in upgrade old version of android and combine with new version from LBE a8 mpack,zimage and xip.bin? Or is there some download on android 2.2 with full language support? or english only??? There was czech, nearest to my language...

Read the last few pages and you'll get your answer.

or you guys can give me a list to make some videos on specific function

I am downloading the files now, but, according to what I read, the "new" mdroid.img is smaller, for it seems they withdrew the alternate languages to let only Chinese. I read there is a way to add a basic english interface with "morelocale" (http://www.meizume.com/modding-devel...tml#post129332).
It would be just a shame that they just decide to give up on other language. If they do that (and have the right since they are Chinese and work for themselves), it would just simply put apart the international community from using android fully. It would be like a "sorry pals we don't give support for other countries".
I don't want to be rude, but it's just what I felt when reading it. I am just disappointed after all this time hoping for android to see it's going Chinese only...
I do hope our Chinese friend won't go that way, simply for I don't know, "global meizu owner friendship"...
If not, well we get back to old WinCE, with few software translated and a much lesser interest.
Please eoc and team, do not let us down. Please.

they just want to minimize the size of the image because it is a beta version now.if include all sort of language..the size of the image will increase to the previous size.5xxmb.That is not a good idea to upload or download..

by the way, here is a video i just made
About the Non-Official Android Market in LBE & SEPA team android ver A8.1

i hope the developer community find a way of enabling the Android market as the slideme app store only features a small amount of apps and the unofficial store on A8.1 is only in chinese, i know people are going to say just search for apps and drop them on to SD but what about official apps like facebook widgets, youtube and adobe flash player surely with the adroid operating system being open source the android market must be available to us someway i find it hard to believe that google would release the os for free and then not provide a way for small scale companys to be able to access?

android is more stable then the wince :P

It's exactly the same for me. Unless there is music playing, recorder recording, etc. once the screen turns off in MyMobile it won't respond to anything and I have to remove the battery. I'm glad it isn't specific to my M8, though. If it wasn't for the 6 hour battery life on Android I would be using it full time now.

fixed this bug last night by using a different xip file from a custom build FW by honda racer, the multilanguage file. 0.9.9.8 or something like that

Awesome. Ill have to try that out.

Thanks!

When i think about that, I am starting to feel that the LBE Team wants to make some money out of this.

Let´s wait for now, it sound logic that uploading a bigger data file to a shared source is harder for our chinese friends then for us, so i´m sure once there is a real stable image they will upload it for us so have some patience.

If not, we can port our own tree on the source´s that are coming available.

patrickmeizume, do you have the market icon on the desktop ? if so, try the market tool i provided in the other post to avoid operator limitations.
sorry i don´t try it myself, but i´m not installing test FW anymore untill there is a real stable release with usefull functions.

facebook widgets, youtube and adobe flash player

I´ve posted some links in the forum to specific app´s like youtube, you might want to install those for now, but some might not work well.


edit, some screens from sepa a8.1:

LBE A8.1

Accelerometer seems not to be working. Tested on iTilt game on M8SE PET 8 Gb and Doodle Jump

Opera mini 5.1 for Android wont install 'package corrupted', I'll try to reinstall

Yeah, accelerometer doesn't work in this release.
I had no trouble with Opera Mini 5.1. Download it from opera.com and install via Linda File Manager.

Hello,

I really want to test Android but i have two problems.

First : I don't have reception, Android ask my pin code but after nothing in the reception bar.

Second : I would try to make a dual boot with the Russian Firmware, it seems to work but impossible to run android.

Last question : When they launch a new version of android, just replace the mdroid.img whith the new one or we must do a new dual boot again

Any suggestions.

Thank's.

Disable PIN code in Windows CE

Latest russian dualboot for A8 or A8.1: Deposit Files

Seems booting in Adroid resets Windows CE time to 2016 year. We've survived 2012, yeah!

forgive not every country and every network does not disable pin you down on the blanket. This is not a solution to the problem of such practices apply the Orange network in Poland.

Seems you should wait for release with pincode issue fixed. Currently there is no other option.

hi
can someone put the file on a mirror because the donwload speed is horribly slow (33 days )
thanks

Which file do you mean exactly?
