Thanks Mark, First google seems to ran out of stock for dev phone, and if I recall the site instruction does not quite explain - rooting or whatever needed, third for some of us are already buried down to bargain basement so ebay or other sites seems to be logical alternatives :)
Is there any pointer for "rooting" technique? What does it mean? --- I know how to get going with openmoko, but for unlocked commercial phone I would love to hack a bit, so that I can build the kernel and infrastructure and flush it, so any link to any rooting technique. For the emulator, then there must be a way to tell the canvas sizes ( i.e 360x480 .... or something )??? -pro On Sep 17, 3:00 am, Mark Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > pro wrote: > > > I'm also very new to Android.
