Got the thing booting, finally, by using my universal charger. I guess the problem now is that when it gets too low it'll just shut itself down, even with the charger attached.
I'm running uImage-tracking and the rootfs with the keyboard now.

The smoothness of bringing up the app menu is just not quite as good as before, which is a shame. The suspend/resume is better than last time around, and any keyboard is a good start, but we're not quite there yet. OTOH, it seems to be a matter of glueing the firmware to the hardware successfully, rather than fundamental problems.

Mostly did this because neither of my debian systems at home wanted to bring up any /dev/ttyACM or /dev/ttyUSB or whatever interfaces and I couldn't access the shell. Have booted this way several times, so you may want to give it a try. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/First-impressions-on-new-Android-rootfs-tp1603648p1613093.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
