As promised in the other thread.

Updated: May 13
Added fixed for read only SD card & Screen brightness control.

I have uploaded the pre-rooted android prebuilt from planetbeing, and added SD emulation with it.
I've also loaded one with DNS fix as per wiki



Included in the zip is the 0.1a files with the modded su as per wiki, and 3 different sdcard.img of size 512mb/1GB/2GB created as per wiki.
Unzip and you will find the folder sdcard, inside contain 3 folders(512mb/1gb/2gb)
Go into the desire folder and grab the sdcard.img and load to /private/var (loading the 2gb img will take approximately 30mins over USB 2.0 )

No other configuration are required, you will only need to load the binaries yourself.

NO BINARIES ARE INCLUDED IN THE ZIP, YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE THE BINARIES INTO SYSTEM.IMG & ANDROID.IMG.GZ
Information can be found in the wiki http://www.idroidproject.org/wiki/Installing_iDroid

This should be added to the wiki... And become an official release!
But if it is not too much trouble... Could you also add the DNS fix? Because while I was on the irc quite a lot of people where asking about that.
Good work!

I don't get why we must load binaries ourselves... and I still don't know how to include them into the system images.

They cant distribute it for some odd reason. copyright or something haha. i think its weak!
@nitestarzz, could you PM me a link to a download with pre rooted, SD emulation at 512mb/1Gb with the binaries in place?
i seriously dont know how to do it either....

Thanks nitestarzz.
I got my original 0.1a from the links from androidalot's tutorial. Maybe it will be updated there.

Yeah... despite Linux/Android being open source (and free), the firmware binaries are copyrighted so you can't just randomly distribute it. It's like making a copy of a DVD: you can only for yourself but spreading it around is piracy.

The wiki will teach you how to add the firmware files. All you need is Linux and patience

Ok i believe it's 8.8.8.8 is usable by everyone, so i just include it seperately for those who need the fix

psiko does that have the firmware binaries or just a mirror to what nitestarzz has posted? We're not allowed to link the firmware binaries (otherwise it would have been up already).

Nitestarzz sorry what's the DNS fix? I can connect to ADB via wifi so do I need a fix?

It's for those who are unable to browse the web via wifi, something to do with getting an incorrect dns from the router

@ddominator - strictly a mirror of what nitestarzz posted. Firmware files are NOT included.
