Android Cupcake v0.1.1, download

linux_mobile — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 08:22:14 +0000

Loading a new build is going to mean clearing everything from both your SD card and your telephone’s memory – including the boot-loader. Backup any personal files or modified config files you want to keep from your Freerunner now! Everything else (kernel, file system and boot-loader) can be restored by flashing if required.For Android to work properly the Micro SD Card in your FreeRunner needs to have 2 primary partitions. The first needs to be a VFAT/MS-DOS (16 or 32) partition which is used is mounted as ‘/sdcard’, this is used as a storage area (for pictures, movies, music, etc). The second is an ext3 partition which Android mounts as ‘/data’, this is where it stores settings, caches, etc. Experience has shown that sizing these at a ratio of 3 to 1 works best. So if you have a 4GB card make a 3GB vfat partition and a 1GB ext3 partition.
