Hi list,
I'm glad to tell you the good news, though it is still far from complete.
With the Yi's great help and hard working, the Android-x86 master branch (eclair) is now built-able. Get it as usual:
repo init -u git://git.android-x86.org/platform/manifest.git
repo sync
The SourceForge mirror is also available
repo init -u git://android-x86.git.sf.net/gitroot/android-x86/manifest.git
repo sync
(if you already have a donut-x86 tree, you can repo init & sync
in the same tree to save time)
Before making, you need to modify frameworks/base/preloaded-classes
to replace PhoneWindow with MidWindow.
The bad news is I only succeeded to boot it in vbox with uvesafb driver.
(i.e., select the first boot item)
See the screenshots at http://blog.android-x86.org/
But uvesafb on vbox has known issue, the screen blinking.
The normal vesa driver doesn't work.
It shown black screen and hung.
On real Eee PC, all drivers (vesa, uvesa, i915) don't work.
Anyway, if you are a developer and want to help us to debug,
just try it.
Things not merged yet:
frameworks/base:
* ethernet
* some wifi (combined with ethernet)
* preloaded-classes
* 3d acceleration
* large screen support(?)
packages/apps/Settings:
* ethernet configuration
packages/apps/AlarmClock:
* adjustable alarm sound
