Dev Help Request - We need you!!

[Guest Swift_gti]

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for some guidance from experienced Android devs - I have an O2 Joggler device which the original OS (am i'm being kind) is appauling.

Work has been underway to get Android x86 working on this device and currently we have a working image of 1.6 on the joggler - the only problem is the graphics are very slow, this is because there is the worlds most hated GPU in the Joggler (GMA500).

However - recently the official Android x86 guys have been working with a GMA500 device (Intel's S5 Viliv) which closely shares it's inners with the O2 Joggler and they have posted up a Froyo image with GMA500 support.

I've tried myself (not really knowing what I'm doing) and a few other guys have also, and the image doesn't boot off the bat on the joggler (just sits at the jogglers EFI screen not displaying anything but the O2 logo)

So, I'm looking for help from you guys as to what / if there is anything we can tweak to get this running like 1.6 (but hopefully with smooth graphics thanks to the new GMA500 support)

I don't have much experience in Android dev'ing but I have a strong IT background and some linux experience - I'm willing to do whatever you guys can suggest to see if we can get this working.

So, first question I guess is, what do you need to know to get the ball rolling?

Here is some info on the joggler's hardware; http://jogglerwiki.info/index.php?title=Hardware

How that image was made; http://jogglerwiki.info/index.php?title=Build_Android_Image

Android x86 Image for Viliv S5 (Has the GMA500 support we want!); http://android-x86.googlecode.com/files/s5_froyo_101008.img

Any help you guys can offer would be madly appreciated by the joggler community, as Android is the perfect OS for the little device!

Thanks
