I know that the Blueangel boots familiar and runs gpe. But has anyone tried to run Opie on it?
I'm going to do some developement work for Opie, and I'm thinking about getting a Blueangel to test stuff on.
Best regards,

I have asked this question before, but didn't get

right now.
Thats what I think, but I can't test it either! I don't have one yet damn... heh
Im dying to try it on my PDA2K (Blueangel)
can someone direct me to the latest version
cause i found alot of versions and none of them for blueangel
please let me know and im ready to do it
(by the way .. im a beginer but would love to learn)
Take a look at:
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/BlueAngel
There's a link to both Opie ang GPE rootfs images there...
If you have problems getting the the Opie image to boot, take
a look at:
http://opiedial.hanafjedle.net
Under the download section you can find the Opie rootfs image I use
to boot my Blueangel. Its a bit different from the original, but it works!
Thanks alot Mr. Mind for the help .. i would try it when i get home cause at the moment am at work.
but one question (would the commands work with my operating system? cause its not linux , its double OS "windows XP" & "Windows Vista")
i would try to use the commands in the command prompt
thanks alot for your help and patience

Well no, the format of the SD card and all that stuff needs to be done under linux.
Windows cannot create ext2 partitions on the sd-card.
You need to install linux dude
this way i have to wait until i install the linux OS (which would take few days for backin up my data)
thanks alot for your support, cause i got a friend of mine workin with me in the same company under IT - Mobile services testing section. he advised me to get linux on my blueangel
anyways thanks alot and if you got any advise i would be thankful.

Lestat
Opie image that's posted on handhelds.org is defective - i couldn't get opie to work.
GPE image does work, but it has too many issues to be even remotely useable. In other words, it is work in progress.
well then i guess i have to wait more :? then
thanks alot for tellin us mate[/img]
Okay, I am going to reformat my computer today and I am thinking about dual booting it with the latest Ubuntu. Would this get me started on the right path to start developing and compiling my own roms and what not? Everything I google seems to be pretty ambiguous and not much help. Thanks in advance...
In my opinion Dual booting with Ubuntu is the way to go. If you are planning to use this kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246 be careful since there are reports of it not working on the latest Ubuntu. I tried it on 10.10 and it worked for a bit then stopped when I applied some updates. I think it has something to do with dropping Java.
I run Win7 on my primary, Ubuntu latest on an external drive and I run a Oracle VM Virtualbox with Ubuntu 9.10 which the kitchen runs on well.

Thanks! I am downloading Ubuntu 10.04 as I also read that 10.10 was borked for some reason. Thanks for the kitchen link, I am just trying to get my feet wet here. I am comfortable hacking on the phones and using ADB, this just seemed the next logical step.

i have two dual boot computers with ubuntu 10.10....both have kitchens set up and both work fine. i installed ubuntu on my lappy first just to test it to make sure it worked without messing anything up since all my important stuff is on my desktop. then after that i did it on my desktop, easy as pie and i haven't booted back into windows in over a week. don't know that i'll go back now, few of my programs won't work in ubuntu and i'm having trouble with wine but theres an alternative to almost everything.

Would you be willing to make the VM available as an appliance?

I've been trying to root my kindle for several days but to no avail. Whenever i use KFU, and no matter what i do. I get Adb status offlline and unknown boot mode. I've manually installed the drivers at least a few dozen times. I've reset my kindle to factory defaults. I've turned it off and on many times. Nothing seems to work. It just seems like every device i touch breaks. Same thing with my computer. Overclocked it, and it died the next day. HELP ME PLEASE, I'M AT MY WITS END
Maybe it's time to change your handle...perhaps?
What? Too soon?
Anyway, Windows drivers are a REAL pain. You could keep fighting with Windows and hope for the best, or you could step it up and learn how it's really done. I'm talking about using the command line...in Linux.
OH NOES! NOT THE "L" WORD!
It's not that hard, really. You just have to read a little to learn what's going on (which you probably should have done anyway).

can i root 6.3.1 with this, or just older versions
YES, you CAN!
Sorry, couldn't help it.
so what version of linux do you recommend?
I use Ubuntu 11.10 but 12.4 works just as well.
and thankssss sooooo much dude, i almost went ballistic
oh and any tips on installing it? cd or installer. My rig right now has windows 8 and windows . can i triple boot ubuntu with windows 8 and 7?
Whatever suits your needs. Typically I tell people to go the LiveUSB route w/800+ MB persistence if you plan on using my script. But either will work just fine.
thanks for helping me root my kindle, i got it to work through sweat and tears.
Windows. The place where everything is not as good.
I really need to get the right drivers for the Iconia A100 and i need um soon. I searched alot and there all dead links or ads now.
I just attempted to port a 4.1.2 rom from another tab, I get past the install and sit at the boot animation, no damn adb cause i did a reinstall on the computer and they got lost in the hundreds of zip files in my downloads.. And I cant get a logcat, I know I can get this booting and its freaking sweet. Its based on pio_masaki's Jellytime Final, and a mixture of ParanoidAndroid Roms. If i get it going its getting posted. Anyone wanna help on the testing just ask here or pm me.
Thanks in Advance.
I do need an xml person, I hate them ....:silly:
Try the Acer support site?

Sure did...
The ones I got from them didn't work for some reason. I found a thread on here that's got a naked usb driver that worked just fine. I am waiting for cygwin to install to unpack and compare boot.img from your SoseiB3 Final to the rom I ported from, Then its off to recovery and some logcating to see if I can get it to boot. did this once today and I failed. I went about this build from another angle and I think this should boot. I'm not to good at logcat reading but I hope I dont need to read to much. I'm about 30 minutes from a signed update to test. Then hopefully I can post my rom. If i can find a mirror to use that is lol. I'm new can you tell?
I have successfully ported roms before without building from source. If you post some logcats I might be able to help with what might be causing to boot to fail.
Most of the things I had to do to make it work were transferring lib files and doing some modifications to framework.jar

Its uploaded to dev host, the links below. if you would like to download it and see what you think then feel free. Just be aware I have not even tried this build out yet. Nothing to worry about really but it may be way far from booting. Its fresh out the winrar folders lol.

Hiya everyone. So; Normally I do my rooting and whatnot on my windoze XP Hard drive, using ODIN. However; for some reason my Windoze is suddenly having some issues with USB (I'm working on resolving it; not why I'm posting.) so I'm left with my Linux HDD (Oh noes! Like I'm really complaining I can't use windoze...lol...). However that being said, I have no idea how to go about doing this on Linux. I run OpenSUSE 12.3 32bit.
I'm not a Linux Poweruser, still learning, but I'm not entirely useless with it either; I know how to do basic program compiling (./configure, make, make install, etc); Am somewhat comfortable in Terminal / CLI, and have a live USB handy incase it breaks
I have done a bit of research and know that Heimdall is the way to go with Linux, however I've also read that Heimdall is not compatible with the T-Mobile S2? Does Kodoo fall into that incompatibility as well, since they can flash the same ROM's?
If it IS possible to root the Kodoo Galaxy s2x t-989D using Linux; can someone either point me to a detailed link explanation of the process, or post here and walk me through this? Assume I know nothing; to save questions. I'd rather have too much information and do it with ease than have not enough and have my woman castrate me for bricking her Phone, and then have to give her my S3 ;p
Thanks! :good:

OK your going to need the program heimdall, and heimdall frontend, I assume u know ur way around a CLI if I've been using Linux so what ur going to need to do is flash the recovery, put phone in download mode, connect to PC, DL twrp2.6.0.4 img file and extract it to ur working folder, open heimdall and run command heimdall-flash -recovery recovery.img cache.img, that'll flash the recovery to the phone, from there its just booting into recovery and flashing a ROM(if u want a custom ROM) or rebooting system from recovery, it will ask if u want to install superuser access, tap install and ur good.. Hope that helps
