Thanks deepak, I got the sytem.tar and data.tar file. I am trying to
port the android stuff on nokia 800 with updated touchscreen patch. I
got the kernel image also.
In the given below steps :
****************************************************************************
#### Format the MicroSD card
1. Insert the MicroSD card into the N8XX
2. Connect the N8XX to your computer via USB
3. Flash the MicroSD card
> df | grep /media/usbdisk-1 # do this to obtain what the usb
device name, which
# may vary depending on the linux
installation
# I will call mine /dev/sdc1
> su
> umount /dev/sdc1
> mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdc1
> mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usbdisk-1
> exit
#### Extract the userspace
> cp android-sdk_m3-rc37a/tools/lib/images/ramdisk.img ramdisk.gz
> gunzip ramdisk.gz
> cd /media/usbdisk-1
> cpio -iv < $ANDDIR/ramdisk
> mkdir dev/log
> touch dev/log/main
> touch dev/log/events
> touch dev/log/radio
### Extract system.tar from the sdcard image
> su
> mkdir card
> mount -o card.img card
> tar -xvf card/system.tar -C /media/usbdisk-1
#### Apply the file system patch (will be available shortly)
> cd /media/usbdisk-1
> cat $ANDDIR/userspace_android-m3-rc37a_N8XX.bz2 | patch -p1
************************************************************************************
1) Please Confirm, Is it neccary to purchase MicroSD card for android
porting on Nokia N8XX?
2) Why data.tar file is not extracted from sdcard image ? That steps
is missing here?
3) What is here "userspace_android-m3-rc37a_N8XX.bz2 " ?
