My brother just purchased an Incite on AT&T and is very disappointed with the speed of the device. I am coming from the Kaiser community and know how to speed it up provided I have the right tools. Does anyone know of a kitchen that exists for this phone or at least how to cook a ROM for it?
thanks

dump the rom 1st ... then maybe somebody can help
I'd be very interested in a rom dump. If you're doing so, please PM me. We're currently researching the capabilities of the vga drivers from the Incite, which we may use for HTC devices like Diamond and HD.

I will probably be able to provide that tomorrow
do you know anything about a kitchen?
thanks
As I told you in my pm a few weeks ago, to make a kitchen out of it, we first need an official incite rom, else I don't see how we can manage to build and flash anything without knowing the adresses in memory.
Another thing is that to flash anything with lgmdp, you'll also need drivers specific to you phone (we had to wait a few monthes before getting those for ks20).
Btw, I never received a reply to my dump request a month ago...
I just recently acquired an Incite myself & tried installing sztupy's Manila2D cab for the Samsung Omnia (also 240x400) &, for the most part, it works! I didn't thoroughly test it out though.
What I do know didn't work was the browser button on the interet tab (the big globe) & the connections button on the settings tab.
You can get the cab here: http://winmo.sztupy.hu/m2daio.html
Count me in as interested in an LG Incite ROM dump.
well, my brother went to pick up his LG Incite today, and they had to issue a recall on every LG Incite due to some texting issue. HOPEFULLY it is a software issue, because then we might see a ROM update to fix it
I'll post the dump as soon as I get it though, thanks for the support people
Well, if he just picked up his Incite it should already have the texting fix. Just check the box and under the battery for a blue dot. If it's there he has a fixed version already.
Also, I have done a rom dump and just need to know who to send it to.

actually, my brother opted for the Samsung Eternity instead of the LG Incite, because he couldn't get it instantly (he's not a patient guy )
but, please upload the rom dump here, as I'm sure many people would like to have their hands on it!

Would you, or anyone having an LG Incite, mind running a Spb Benchmark. Its a free utility.
Run only the 3 graphical BitBlt tests please. But if possible, also with the screen rotated to landscape.
Based on measurements on the Touch HD with 800x480; 640x480; 480x480, I would expect the 400x240 LG to give a 2ms; 8ms; Xms for portrait and 12ms; 48ms; Xms for landscape. (The GAPI shows to be non linear and not predictable)
If you score significantly lower the LG drivers may be better, and it may be useful to port some drivers to HD, if you score significantly higher, the HD drivers may be better. If the difference is minimal, then it may all be irrelevant.
I'm using the LG Incite but cannot use MP3 file to set as a ringtone.
I put mp3 file in to
My Device/window/ring
My device/my document/my ringtone
even i put it to
storage card in root
it didn't work in Incomming Call
But I put in to
My device/window
I worked for sms alert.
Can any one to me how to?..Please

I found the answer now...
it needs to be less than 300kb in size. Reduce the channels to Mono and chop the audio file down to about 25 seconds or so and you will have one less than 300kb that plays well on the single speaker and until your voicemail kicks in.

Is there going to be a section for the HTC Touch/elf soon? It was released yesterday. http://www.htctouch.com
I just ordered mine
Can't wait for it to get here.
OK, I have received my HTC Touch! It really is as amazing as it looks. Any questions or comments post here.
The only little problem I have had is the weather app. does not have a town close enough to me but I've solved that.
Here's what I did:
Go here http://www.accuweather.com/us-city-list.asp?zipcode=&u=1&partner=accuweather and find the weather page for your city/state/county. Take a look at the URL, on the end, you should see something like:
locCode=EUR|FI|FI002|HELSINKI|&u=1
(Helsinki is already in the weather file, this is just an example!)
Take a note of this.
The file we need to edit is read-only, and I can't see a way of editing it via activesync/windows. I just got a load of write-protect errors. I got a tool called TotalCommander, it's a freeware file viewer/editor for the PPC.
In TotalCommander, navigate to \Windows\ and open HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml
Once you're inside this file all you need to do is copy an existing entry and make sure you put in the corresponding weather data from the step above.
Ex.
<city name="Helsinki, FI" locationcode="EUR|FI|FI002|HELSINKI"/>
Easy
Questions...
indeed I have a lot of questions
first congratulations for getting this awesome device so fast. I think of buying it because it's nearly of the same size as my HTC S620 Excalibur smartphone but I have NO experience in PPCs...
So here we go
1. how is the battery life
(I know it will last a while until you can say something significant)
2. how much memory is available
(internal user Flash and RAM) - on my S620 I have installed nearly everything I regularly need on the phone since it has 66MB of user flash available)
3. Can you run TomTom on it?
4. any software issues with installing third party programs
5. how is the screen?
good readable in direct sunlight?
6. how is the screen protection?
Is it soft as a usual touch screen or hard as a mobile phone screen?
Is it possible to mount a screen protector without losing "touch control"?
7. how is the loudspeaker?
loud and clear enough for navigation in car?
8. Do you have the possibility to compare the speed with a standard smartphone?
That's it for the first - maybe to come more if I have forgotten something
Thanks in advance for your answers
and habe a lot of fun with your new toy
Hi!
I will try and answer your questions as accurately as possible, but bear in mind I have only had this device for a little over 12 hours, and I had to sleep at some point during those hours.
1. Battery life so far is good. HTC state battery life should be 5 hours talk and 200h standby and I think this is quite accurate.
When I got it it was partially charged. I charged it for an hour or 2 (while using it) and used it heavily after that, around 4 hours of bluetoothing, wifi and camera. This morning the battery is at 57%. I'm quite happy with that, considering I have not even given it even 1 full charge/discharge cycle.
2. 128MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM. 32.5MB Free out-of-box. It comes with a 1gb microSD but I've already upgraded to 2gb.
3. Yep, TomTom is one of the first things I installed
4. No software issues so far, but I have only installed a couple of games and Spb GPRS Monitor. My one gripe software-wise is that there is no 'Internet Calling', no built-in voip.
5. The screen is great. Really clear, crisp and readable. The WM6 image they have has cleartype (no tuning application, mind)
6. Screen protection is not great. The screen itself is flush to the phone, there is no recess like other touch-screen devices. While this makes it look great, and makes it easy to touch buttons on the edge, it also makes it very scratchable. Luckily the phone comes with a nice little HTC case. The case is a snug fit, not big or obtrusive, no straps, loops or anything. It is a spongy material with soft interior. I am not using a screen protector because the case will do just fine. The screen protector that's included with the device looks like it would fit well and go almost unnoticed but I am a bit reluctant to put it on because you already have to be very 'positive' with the screen to get it to react. This is by no means a bad thing, by the way. Overall, it feels good to use.
7. I have yet to properly test the loudspeaker. I gave tomtom a quick blast and from what I heard, I think it would be fine in a car.
8. Well I have moved to this device from a HTC hermes. Yes, there is a difference in speed but I personally dont find it a problem. I would consider myself a bit more than a casual PDA user (if that makes any sense). I use it for work, surfing, gaming and obviously phone calls/sms and I dont have a problem with the speed. I think this is possibly an unfair comparison however, as something that may take 5 seconds on a hermes could take 10 on the Touch -- but the hermes would have crashed half way
The only smartphone I have really had experience with is the N91. I found the N91 so slow I had to get rid of it. I'm keeping the Touch
Hope this has cleared a few things up.
VOIP
Is it possible to run programs like skype for VOIP on the HTC touch?
And how is the quality of the camera and music?
Thanks

Hi alanp23. Firstly congrats on your new HTC Touch. I love the flush look of this baby and would much prefer this over any i-phone wanna be PDA.
As your no newbie to PPC's, you'll undoubtedly be aware that you can overclock the TiOmap processor to about 240- 260Mhz without issue.
I found my old overclocked HTC Prophet outperformed my 400Mhz Hermes. Fancy that!!
Anyway...cut to the chase. I know you have hardly had your device for a few minutes, but would you mind making your ROM/extended ROM visible and seeing if there is a cab file for the Cube Touch software? If you are able to extract it and upload it here or to the Athena forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310459
This would be greatly appreciated by the xda community as we could try and see if it would be possible to run on other devices.
I doubt very much if it will run on the Athena, but we're all willing to give it a run.
What do you say? Up for it? Thanks if you are and I understand if you're not.
Either way, enjoy your new toy, it looks fab.
P.S. If your using TomTom and haven't checked out an alternative, you simply must have a look at the repackaged version of iGo My Way GPS software known as MioMap v3.2 with the Quicksilver Map. It's far better and more accurate than TomTom and much more configurable. Also, it takes up much less space on your device.

Does not match up to anything I see to modify.
Anyone else get this to work? I love the new home page, but miss weather panel now.
I cheated and found it by using a firefox plugin... it worked for me
The addon/plugin is called "forecastfox" https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/398
Seems to work fine in FF v3

so faria's rom is the only rom that has a working ver of voice command 1.6 ..meaning his is the only ver that will announce incoming calls.. i myself HATE voice command but my buddy wants it.. i loaded his phone w/ schaps rom and he wants voice command to announce the caller name.. would anyone be kind enough to extract the ver from faria's rom. thank you
Can be extracted from here.

...k first off not what i was asking for.. 2nd thats the OLD build.. the one in farias new rom is a newer build.. 3rd if u try and say im asking for warez you my dear sir are slightly L.D. considering VC is built into WM6 roms..
and if you 2 took enough time to look thru the forum u would see there are numerous links to voice command 1.6 cab files posted in various custom rom threads.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1301496&postcount=2 being the example.... so b4 u open your mouth try and know what your talking about k thanks
i agree jason. what benefits are in the new build.
lol its jacob... and the new build allows the annoucement of "incoming caller" like it will say call from jacob on mobile phone.. and so on.. ALL previous builds mine the one in faria's rom WILL NOT announce on the hermes/tytn device.. there have been tons of threads on different boards complaning about this but faria's build seems to have "fixed" the problem.
yeah i tried farias rom i guess it was just me because i still had to use ms vc fixes. that is really good news if a new build is available. i would be willing to pay faria for this new build if it does indeed work as you suggest.
I have tried to obtain this also but every time there is someone with a negative attitude assuming we are asking for or intend to pirate this application when they know for a fact that the newer build in faria,s rom is not even available to the public!
It's not farias ROM that makes this work. It's the VC version. What I did was loaded faria, copied the VC files (the exe and the system file). Now I own VC so I install my copy onto any ROM, then I load the 2 files from faria. voila, it works.

Care to share your sucessful files with us please?
Are you sure that the announcement works on the loud speaker and not only on Bluetooth?
As far as I know the loudspeaker caller announcement issue is not yet resolved, or am I mistaken (hopefully!!).
I have the older 1.6 Build and it does not work on PDA's with WM6 and Samsung CPUs.

The faria one worked thru loudspeaker for me. It even worked when I was on the headset in a call. I was not able to get the correct fix to make it work perfect but I loved the fact it would announce everything thru the speaker at the least.

So, because a piece of software is bundled with a piece of hardware when it is sold it is okay to extract it and make it available to everyone? That's like saying, hey you got that new pc with office included, can you extract that and make it available because I've got a pc also. Grow up!
I second the request. Also, if posting the unreleased version of Voice Command would be illegal, wouldn't posting Faria's Rom be illegal, too?
FYI, I actually have bought a legit copy of MS VC, which of course does not work with my Tytn. Everything I am asking is that somebody that has installed the Faria Rom to post here the relevant files, for sparing us the trouble of installing the ROM, copying the files and than reinstalling our favourite ROM and applications (I have 20+ programs and it will take me half a day or so to reinstall them and I do not have that time available).
Or, at least, since people may be reluctant to post it on the forum, could somebody please PM me the files (I have bought a legit copy of MSVC 1.6, which of course does not work on my Tytn, despite claims that it should. When I contacted MS, they told me that they are aware of the issue, but they will release a patch sometimes at the end of the year, maybe, but no money back. Great :-( ).
VC 1.6 (17913) works on WM6 LVSW!!
I have installed VC 1.6 Build 1.60.4622.0 on the latest LVSW, then downloaded Faria's WM6, expanded it (using imgfs) then replaced the following files:
1- voicecmd.exe 369kb(4622), 136kb(17913)
2- VoiceCmdRes_PPC.dll 75kb(4622), 86kb(17913)
3- VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl 38kb(4622), 33kb(17913)
4- VoiceCommandWMP.dll 28kb(4622), 12kb(17913)
with their namesakes, after renaming the originals, and now I have announcements over the loud speaker working and version 1.6.17913, I did not try any other function "yet".
From the variance in file sizes, this is either a specific build or some functionality may have been moved to other files in the package. Hence, it may not be enough to copy the above 4 files only; to get all functionality working.
p.s. If I only copy the fist two files, announcements work but I lose the ring tune!!, I guess the cpl to get the version.

@zmanuel - why doesn't your legit 1.6 work with your Tytn? Mine does when I use Jules' cab to enable BT activation. With this build nothing I do gets the VC BT enable to work... (I just reflashed this version to test,as my version is slightly different)
@simple - looking at my kitchen I see that there's more files you need to extract. If I get time I'll post the list. (A file server and I are arguing on who's boss right now so I'm a little busy ...)
No, I'm not in the mood to create a post a cab/ individual files, sorry.

today is the 3rd day since i posted the upgrade and we had 75 downloads within 70 hours and 36 people asked for the instruction.

especially:
1. asbestos: you are a brave man with big gut. you are the first who dared to run an unknown "fishy" exe file on your machine but your effort cleared all the hesitates other people had
2. sheeeng: thanks for posting your result on the forum and offering an alternative download link for people who can't access rapidshare, appriciated it
3. aeropic: glad to hear your 2003 french rom flew to english, i will try to see if i can get a french version for you if you still wish and when i got time
4. bowmoreinfrontofafire: glad to hear your bricked ipaq came alive again, enjoy it
5. LuteK II: hope you have sorted out all the mess between tommy_adsl's rom and mine
for those who haven't share your experience with others, please do so if you have time
for those who just joined the forum and got my instructions, please stay here as long as you can, this is a great place
for those who got my instructions before yesterday that has a page link to ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-IPAQ-WM6-Upgrade-HX2410-HX2415-HX2490-HX2495-HX2495b_W0QQitemZ220218383266QQihZ012QQcategoryZ47103QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
i was shocked yesterday when i noticed that all the screenshots were updated from PDAViet's 18533 rom to, what a familiar look&feel!
i can't simply judge from that changes but, don't think i am a jerk, here were the actions i took:
1. i killed the download link
2. i posted my ebay item, sell it for 1.99
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250232653715
i am not going to make a fortune of that, actualy i pull out of my own pocket to cover all the fees in order to list it. i just hate thieves.
for those who still have problem upgrading your ipaq, email me and i will try to help out
for those who are unlucky and can't get the file before i shut it down, please view my ebay item, if you like, it costs you only 2 bulks.
for those who successfully upgraded, i appreciate it if you keep your copy for your personally use only
and again my thanks go to all and this is a great community!

Hi Guys,
Thanks to this forum and I have learnt lots of stuff. After taking knowledges from people on this site and a few days hard work, I think it's time for me to give something back to the community. This is my first contribution so I hope some of you will like my work.
Attached is the link to the WM6 ROM update I created for iPAQ HX2000 PDAs. I have my two hx2495b upgraded and everything works great: outlook, office, windows live, wireless, bluetooth, ... you name it, no power drain problem, no soft reset, fast, reliable, I really love my work.
I don't have any other hx2000 series model to try but I certainly confident that it will work with all models in the series. Here are some screen shots FYI.
Please don't flash your ROM using the file downloaded directly, you could brick your device and I am not responsible for that.
Please message me and I will send you detail instructions on how to install it. I will honor every single request. please allow at least 1 min, at most a day to get my response.
!!!WARNING!!! if you are a junior member and this is your first time flashing your rom, please let me know and I will give you instructions as more detailed as possible.
Also please do not waste other people's time by pm them and asking for the instructions. instead, you can use your time walking through this and other threats and topics. you really can learn lot of stuff here, you can transform yourself from an always "eating out" person to a DIY cooking chef like me.
So far we have quite a few people successfully flash their rom, the devices range from low end 2110 to high end 2790, the original rom versions include 2003 to 6. this is very encouraging.
There do have some hiccups though, here are my suggestions:
1. if you see a symptom where when you close a program and you see some "artifacts" on the Today screen, this most likely is because that when the rom was cooked, the registry settings for today's items were not cleaned up, so to quickly fix this just enable/disable some items or reorder them through today's setting
2. if you successfully flashed the rom but your device doesn't start, simply remove your CF card and reboot again.
hope you who successfully upgraded your rom will share some experience here.
Enjoy it!

How could I use this rom when this file is *.xda ???
Gonna jump out on a limb here and guess that it installs the same way as the other wm6 roms?

This file is a little to short becouse file *.nbf with WM 6.1 should be about 48MB.... - in my opinion

After looking at it I don't think my guess is correct. It is a smaller than my Hermes 6.1 .nbf.
As soon as we hear from samz on how to install it I will give it a go on my 2410. I have WM6.0 on it now and I am getting some random battery drainage that hopefully this rom will take care of.
So we are waiting for Samz's instruction....
It appears that this is some sort of self extracting file. When trying to open with WinRar it ask for password...I say this is little fishy to me.
Flashing right now, will let you all know how it goes
Upgraded, flash went well. Including some screenies..
Good job samz, a very nice and flawless flash!
Feels nice and fast. I will play around with it for a few days and see if I find anything.
Might be time for me to pony up and buy a newer PDA though. It's a bummer that I only have ~12 megs of storage on the PDA but that has been about the same each upgrade since WM5.
Is the HP ProtectTools by Credant still available?

asbestos,
I'm thrilled that the 6.1 ROM is finally fixed & running!
Thanks to samz & all predecessors!
Am curious to know if the HP ProtectTools by Credant is still available in this ROM or as a separate installable cab file?
I need this application as a requirement for my work.
Also, it would be helpful to list what other 3rd party apps are included in this ROM.
Many users have been requesting for a 'lite' version of the ROM to maximize ROM space for persistent storage.
Thanks!

Hi,
Does anyone has alternative link besides Rapidshare?
Can anyone help me on HP iPAQ hx2750 Upgrade to WM6?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Samz, this .xda file is different from all other upgrade file extension we find in xda forums, how can we apply this upgrade, I have a hx2795b... Please, send instructions. Tks.

Hp protect is there and it works just fine. This is a pretty light ROM. It looks like samz replaced the usual calendar with 1-cacl lite, there is the normal wm5 explorer (which I replaced right off).
There is no java support. In fact all of the usual jre's do not work as far as I know on the wm5/wm6/wm6.1 other than IBM's J9 (cab included in this post).
Here is the base rom programs:
Games:
Bubble maker
Solitaire
Apps:
Activesync
1-calc lite
File Explorer
iTask
Notes
Pictures & Videos
Search
Task Manager
Tasks
Windows Media
I do not have a "B" revision device. If you do, you most likely have much more rom storage than I do. I started off with about 14 megs which has been pretty much the standard since the old school WM5 update years ago.
I did not need to shuffle ROM's around to do this update. It is probably the easiest upgrade I have ever done on this device other than the OEM releases.
If you want to update to it just follow the directions and PM samz for the directions.
Again, thanks samz for a great ROM. I will be testing it today with my usual routine and see how it goes!

Yes, the contacts work and yes the messaging works too. I did not set up my exchange server yet or the IMAP but the POP3 works just fine.

I'm not exactly sure if the TouchFLO has to be on a touch screen phone, but I've seen pics of this 2D version of TouchFLO floatin' around and I'm wondering if it can be ported to our phones?
Anyone know?

Shucks. Maybe in time...
all the cabs are available in xda development and hacking forum. But the total install is around 26mb. I installed on my tilt last night and its pretty sweet. Dpad navigation works, so maybe a possibility that it could work, just have to try it. They also have the oems available for using in roms. Maybe nrg can cook it into his rom.
Has anyone here tried this yet? Its working almost perfect on the shadows, so the only reason you might have problems is the landscape compared to portrait layout. But that could be worked out, the main thing is that it will work on wm standard if anyone's interested in it.

It's only for htc phones right now, so I can't try it on my blackjack before it sells to let you know any more than that. I can tell you on the tilt, that this is a great interface plugin.
showaco-where is download link and instructions ?
I have htc s620 and i have to try.

thats just a matter of changing the settings xml for the image layout and changing size of background images, wouldn't be to hard, just takes a little time on spacing adjustment. The zip with all needed cabs is in the first link. shadowmike may have changed some of the files to use on smartphone, i'm not sure. He's supposed to have his done this weekend and should be available on allshadow.
NRG should get this for excaliber/dash if he's serious about making a rom.
Nice, how about that HTC Viva, I think its using the same processor as the Dash, but with native TouchFlo, can't wait.
Re: TouchFlo
If someone could put the XML code up then we could all do our little bit here, all we would have to do is highlight change and the original post could be corrected
Then all we need a test bed shore Reeg would be into this?
Just trying to make us all involved
I know this would be simps for showaco
i sugest-give us all needed files in one zip archiva with instructions for instalation.
thanks

Manilla Touchflo2d is now working on htc smarthphones for anyone interested. The layout is for portrait, but is has a xml file that you can adjust all the tabs, icons, text etc , so that it will view correctly on the dash/excalibur. Here's a link to all the files needed and a good thread on setting it up for smarthphones.
http://allshadow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3354&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=40
The files and links are about half way down the page along with install directions and lots of screenshots.
Anyone would care sharing their xml for the dash? I'm not too good with those sort of things...
Cheers

If I install this do you know if I could still use sliding panels if I wanted.
Sure, if someone shoes me the way i'd be glad to contribute as much as i can!

Hey y'all
so,
while we're all waiting for our "Dreams" to show up on the 22nd, this would be a lot of fun to play with. If anyone figures it out, and could even just write down how they did it, I'd REALLY REALLY appreciate it, as I'm sure everyone else would as well. Thanks!
I've bn working on it for about 4 days now but I don't have alot of time. I know that show has been doing some work on landscape as well.
I offer myself as a test dummy for it. Just tell me what to do. It seems to be quite impressive. I hope showaco will come out with some good stuff

hey gorap, have you already installed it on your dash? You have to move the tabs first so you can see them. I've got some of the landscape values for home and weather. The programs page auto adjusts to fit I believe. The wallpaper background has to be widened as well(hh_fw_background.png).
Hi,
For those interested in the effort to port Android to the Excalibur, wing-linux android 0.4pre4 has been released with support for the Excalibur. Installation should be pretty easy (must install to the micro SD card).
For details and download: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki
This project is looking for more developers, so you're welcome to join.
Please Note: to reset your device after using android you'll have to take out the battery. As mentioned, the software does not install to the phone's ROM, so it's nice and safe no flashing!
Biggest issue is that sound doesn't work yet. GSM works if your SIM card has no pin. For information on setting up GPRS, please see the wing-linux forum.
Please test all you can, and report back either here, or even better at the wing-linux forum.
Cheers,
Update:
To fix the problem that the console is rotated the wrong way, after installing, go to the linux folder on the SD card and edit the "default.txt". In the CMDLINE variable, remove "fbcon=rotate:3".
For those of you that want a normal linux console, i.e. so Android doesnt start automatically, change the "4" on the end of this line to a "3" (this is the runlevel)

Can you hel me? I want to know if i can to install this so on my excalibur telcel (mexico) and how can i install it?

Hey great news......
Good going ..........
Hats off to all the geniuses on this project,
and a special thanks to UCCELLINO to get it on our beloved DASH
Hey Just one question ,
Is it the same cab for all the models ?
Tested
Tested!
And...
Success!
It works...
Since it is nowhere near finished ill mention only the cool things...
D-pad works and all of the other buttons too... (qwerty including)
Amazingly good integration for non touch screen phone... (I could almost imagine using it)
I would played bit more with it but to my biggest disappointment
THE SCREEN IS INTERLACED AND FLASHING(flickering) ALL THE TIME
Tested on MDA Mail
I almost forget: Thanks to all the involved geniuses...
I still can't believe it works, simply amazing
woohoo!!!!!!!
cant get it to start it fails and takes me to command prompt
Anyone has screenshot of this new Wing Linux?
Hi,
Thank you for doing this testing... the interlaced screen issue does not happen on my device... maybe there really are different models. I will check this out - it is probably a problem with screen timings. If you want to help, check out the Excalibur forum on the wing-linux forum and try another device profile.... Once I know what other device worked better for you, I can try and support it better within the Excalibur profile.
For other people: there is one main cab to install and then another smaller one to set it up for the Excalibur.
Once again, thank you to all for the help in testing! Next step is working audio and then we can really be on our way

What process did you go through exactly... this may be a bug can you give me any more info?
Just some points:
it must install to the micro SD, which needs atleast 250+ MB free available
you must install two cabs, the main one and then a little one for the Excalibur
in theory, if you do get to a command prompt, you can log in and use linux to start android.
Login is as follows:
username: root
password: wing

Sorry, no screenshots as yet. But it runs Android Cupcake, and pretty fast too (for an old phone). Really, this project is going somewhere, and Android is very usable on the device with such a great keyboard.
Perhaps a very techy person could make a little video?
All you need is an micro SD card, may be 30minutes and being prepared to pull your battery when you're done...
If you're a linux programmer, that'd be cool too.. I desperately need info on how to reset the Excalibur in software
