Opie installation guide

[leopardus2]

Opie is completely stored on SD, so space shouldnt matter too much. As for apps and games, about 50% works, with about 40% of the apps i get a "Could not locate application" error, i dont know if my cramfs image is corrupted or something, will test that, and about 10% get a sigsegv error (segmentation error).

Could you provide us with a copy of your cramfs image?
You can dump it with dd... we could put it somewhere for download....

Thanks

There already is a precompiled cramfs image, the link is in the howto. Btw what do you think of the guide? Is it any good?

@maxx_730
The opie instruction guide looks good, the only thing I can think of is that in the instructions the first partition goes from 1 to 100, and the second (for OPIE) goes from 100 to 983; wouldn't this leave (on a 1GB card) only ~100 MB for SD storage and ~900 MB for the OPIE cramfs image?

Currently I have a opie cramfs image with both qte and opie compiled w/ debug options, this makes the net image much bigger than a normal (non debug) compile. Right now my cramfs is about 101 MB and (also for a 1GB card) I set the first partition from 1 to 850, and the second from 851 to 983 which was enough for the debug version of the opie cramfs.

I also particularly like the line about "if you dont know how to do this, you're a retard", nice touch!

Also, it is not necessary, but I found it useful to put the "mount -t cramfs ..." into the startup.txt file on the SD (for e680i) which sets everything up as the phone boots.

Yeah i just did that to be sure, but ill edit it.

No, its still under development, if all features work, it shall probably be distributed in a .shx container.
