thanks for the video!

i am updating page 1, so any new comers can find the information there.
can some on add a howto document to the rar/zip that contains android?
then i can add it to on the first page otherwise i would need to rewrite page 1 completly again:-)


btw i noticed that android runs very fast on m8 that is great isnt?
but i also notice that the forum seems to be going down.. i wonder how it would come

NICEEEEEEEEEEEE!
In tha face, meizu!
Android is awesome, it runs sooo smoothly!
Can't wait to be using it as my phone!
Going to give it a try right now

I made everything but it doesn't work for me shiiit !!

Edit: I am downloading stuffitexpander and will try to extract the xip.bin now there is nothing in my m8 i installed the 0.9.3.7 and i copy the r2 xip.bin and the mdroid.img

if you see yaffs hint on your screen, It's caused by your M8 come with new partition format.
I'll fixed it soon

In Upgrade mode the M8 is available as Massstorage.

I still have a problem to get it to work =(
i have the r2 xip.bin and the mdroid.img in the root and it installs on the phone bit when i restart onthe first start it simply hangs.
Last message is:

Code:

Freeing init memory: 784K
tmp1 = 0x1<7>12c-adapter i2c-0: master_xfer[0] W, addr=0x1a, len=2

on the second boot i get yaffs errors, i belive that is what banxian mentioned in the post just before mine (seen it while previewing my post '^^)

Code:

yaffs: dev is 187695104 name is "mmcblk0"
yaffs: passed flags ""
yaffs: Attempting MTD mount on 179.0, "mmcblk0"
yaffs: dev is 187695104 name is "mmcblk0"
yaffs: passed flags ""
yaffs: Attempting MTD mount on 179.0, "mmcblk0"
