its a different issue. i tried the patch on both the n800 and the
n810. i noticed that the touchscreen still functioned normally in
maemo for the n800 after patching.. and sure enough after booting
android it doesnt not function. they changed something in the
touchscreen for the n810..

Touchscreen still works in maemo after the patching. If I removed the
checks as mentioned in the above messages, I can start android just
fine, but touchscreen still doesn't work. If I don't remove the
checks, I'm stuck at the Nokia screen, just like what someone else
experienced on the n810.
Not sure what it is right now, but I'm hoping Jonathan's patch will
either work or give some new clues on what to do.

yeah.. i was going on the assumption those checks are already removed.
neither of my n800 nor n810 boots with the checks in (same bluebar to
the end freeze). having those checks moved. android starts fine on
both. cept n810 has touchscreen working and n800 doesnt. hopefully the
new patch you get will shed more lights. gl

No I have not... but 2.6.23 is not required for running m5. Fixing the framebuffer driver is the only requirement for that... (see elinux.org for the issue about this and fix suggestions (don't work) )

Forgot to mention this... According to a post I've read a while ago, the linux-omap git tree is supposed to contain all the patches necessary for running it on the n810, except the wifi stuff (proprietary). But according to some discussions, it should be possible to get the binary module to run nevertheless on a recent/git kernel.

That looks very good ! :-)

I've added you as project member...so please add your patch (split up if possible) and any other information you would like to share.
Thanks at all, I have Android on N800 with touchscreen. I've used the attached patch obtained from NuuNeol patch, modified to work on TSC2301 driver present on N800 driver instead of TSC2005 present on N810 and applied after patchv1 of android-on-n8xx.
To change between maemo and android coordinate you should insert the following line in the start_android.sh script:
echo z > /media/mmc1/proc/sysrq-trigger
before the following line:
umask 000 chroot /media/mmc1 /a.sh
Now a question. Since the n800 has not a keyboard, for you is possible and simple use a bluetooth keyboard to write in Android?
THANK YOU for posting the n800 patch!!!!!!!!!!! I thought it was just
me not knowing how to use the n810 patches being provided to me. I'll
try it immediately!!!!!
Also.. I mentioned earlier in these posts that I was going to post a
guide for total newbies to get Android to work on the n800 using
Ubuntu.

We needed to use a bluetooth GPS but were not able to get bluetooth to
work on Android. As far as we know, bluetooth interface through the m3
userspace is non-functional. We noticed that apps that we started
before booting Android is still running in the background, so we used
a python script to retrieve information from the GPS.

Hi NuuNeol, what changes have you made to launch m5-rc15 on N810? I've tried but I obtain only a blank screen and after three minutes the runtime process dies with the following messages:

Ask Georges for permission to just modify the wiki he started. I'm
kind of getting tired of updating it, etc. It takes up a lot of time,
and I have other things I need to do.

Did you download the compiler that was linked? You need that in the
location you're pointing to. If nothing exists at ../arm-2008q1/bin/,
you put it in the wrong place.
