history:
I took the current build of Android v2.2 Froyo: BLAZN and updated the initrd.gz and the rootfs.img. After changing the keyboard-layout to “rhod100_de” by editing the startup.txt it was ready to go.
update: (2010/24/08)
Because of the increased temperature i reduced the clock speed from ~710 MHz back down to its default value of 528MHz (acpuclock.oc_frq_khz=540672).
Sadly none of the available startup-utilities worked for me.
It seems there’s something wrong with the Gen.Y Dualboot since the altering of the appropriate REG-Key for the bootdirectory has no effect for me.
update: (2010/02/09)
got it working by setting the registry-key just to andboot without any slashes or quotes.
The MJGDroidutil seems only to work properly when the complete intallation is made in the root of the SD-card. Until this is fixed i’ll have to start the “haret.exe” manually.
conclusion:
Beside this and the fact that sound is missing et all (neither input nor output) and the Bluetooth and camera did not work in the current build it is quite usable even if you did not overclocking your device. i’m looking forward to updates and implementations of the missing hardware support.
update: (2010/02/09)
I’m running Android a few days now and i’m quite satisfied with. In the meantime there where some fixes so it’s getting better and better.
things i’m still missing:
- Microphone Input
- Bluethooth
- Camera
- Fix for the too large buttons in some setting menus
- NAND installation
currently i have some problems to get the application “adb wireless” to work. if you have some experience or tips please leave a comment.

v.0.2 of my new desktop design by usage of GeekTool
During the rainy weekend i spent some time to fiddle around a bit with the “geektool”. After researching a bit about shell programming and reviewing a lot of scripts and examples i wrote for myself. Then after looking for an appropriate wallpaper i put the script collection into work. This is the result for now.
I used a wallpaper which i found on deviantart.com and the following scripts to build my new desktop design… Read the rest of A New Desktop Design »

Red Bull – Army of Advocates
Recently I helped a friendly agency from austria to develope a derivate of a previous build Google-Maps application. The application lets one (an employee of Red Bull in this case) view other employees pinned on a google-map and allows him to add himself as well by providing some informations to fill a little profile. One can also search for other (already pinned) employees by providing either first-/lastname or postal-code as well.

A word search game
Currently I’am developing a word-search game were you have to find and mark a bunch of words which are distributed in a grid. It will be part of an advertising CD for a german girl magazine.
The agency is extrajetzt interactive and the client is Egmont Ehapa Verlag GmbH.
I like the challenging task to find a good way for spreading the words, finding spaces and placing the word in various types and directions e.g. forward/diagonal or backward/up and so on..
update:
The game is about to be finished and i would like to show it here, but since it has its own CI it has to wait until i find the time to make a stripped version of it. All in all it was another exciting and interesting project.

I am currently working on a little series of “educational-flash-games” for kids aged from 6 to 12 for the berlin casual-games-agency extrajetzt and it’s client MTV-Networks.
It’s quite funny to build a game and using well-known comic-characters like “Spongebob” or “Danny Phantom”. Since the website of MTV-Networks is user based you’ll have to register to see the games in action.
