  • Android Cupcake v0.1.1, download

    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.

    Download

    Unpack the files on to a FAT formatted SD card.

    Insert card into the Freerunner, and boot from NOR menu (hold AUX key, then power)

    Choose Boot from SD Card (FAT and ext2)

    The automated install process should begin. It installs the Qi boot-loader, reboots, the kernel, reboots, then installs the system image.
