Regarding apps2sd, when I followed the scripts, I got it working ... but then when you do a reboot, I was stuck at the bootloader screen. Cheers |

Thanks to the valuable information by hiaig, I was able to integrate apps2sd into the IQ
Overview: 1. Partition an SD card 2. Setup a2sd -------------------------------------------------------------------- Step 1: Partition an SD card. You need to manually partition an SD card with one large partition for data like ebooks and music, and one smaller partition for applications. Around 200Mb for apps is usually enough. The data partition must be formatted with vfat, the application partition must be formatted with ext3. The order of the partitions shouldn't matter. To be on the safe side, use partition 2 for apps. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Step 2: Setup a2sd
Hint: Run a2sd without parameter to get a description of all options. Download a2sd: iq_a2sd v0.0.2 (latest) iq_a2sd v0.0.1 As for stability, only time will tell I guess. It appears to be working fine over here. Last edited by Coredump-EE; 01-08-2011 at 10:53 AM. Reason: Update to a2sd 0.0.2 |

For people looking for a small launcher, I have been using Zeam launcher these days and even though it is minimalistic, it is very practical. @Coredump: You look familiar with Android... Been using it for a while? Last edited by Icewyng; 01-04-2011 at 07:03 PM. |

Before Android, I was very active in the Sharp Zaurus scene. It was a really sweet line of PDAs. Very hackable. I even had my own distribution for some models People were actually using it as well! One of my biggest Zaurus projects, apart from the distribution thing, was called "altboot". It was an init replacement allowing, boot from SD, boot from CF, from from loop-images inside the media, etc. So adding a2sd here wasn't too much of a challenge. |

Are there good resources that you know of that could explain how Android works and how to modify it? I have learned a lot so far but feel that I am lacking knowledge to go any further. I think the IQ would benefit from a custom ROM such as Cyanogen since we can pretty much forget about Honeycomb. as it seems that it will require a dual-core processor such as Tegra and a 1280*720 screen according to Engadget... |

The second you have build the first generic working Android for the IQ, custom firmwares become trivia l Quote:
