I'm interested in taking a look at Android...<br>
<br>
1. The installation instructions seem to involve both a full SD card<br>
(which will be completely overwritten) and flashing the NAND. What I<br>
don't understand is whether the SD card is only needed during<br>
installation, or if the same SD card needs to stay in the phone<br>
afterwards, when booting Android from NAND.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>it's needed also after.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
2. I understand that the Android installation flashes a modified<br>
version of the Qi bootloader. Can this modified version still boot<br>
other distributions, in particular Debian?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>yes, i tried it some time ago... but you have to switch sd (and that it's what i'm trying to avoid :) )</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
Basically the situation is that I want to keep Debian (on SD) as my<br>
main distribution, but have Android in NAND for trying out. I have<br>
another SD card (512Mb) that I can use just for the Android install,<br>
but after that I'd like to put the Debian SD card back in.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any answers and advice!<br>
