If there’s no mouse support, how do you play around with it?

Hi Sid,

I did try to compile the Cupcake update a few months back but without success, well it compiled OK but I couldn’t get it to boot. I may give it a try again and if I do I’ll post the compile output for you.

thanks,
Bob

Hey there,

I’m on a mac and can’t get networking working. I’m wondering if you’ve overcome the networking issues or have another vdi?

It would be great to see the output from your compiling session as a txt file if you plan on building again.

I gave you some shouts out on this video:

Thanks for posting!!

Hi Mike,

if you get a NullpointerException on startup I can only assume that the kernel included with the vdi file does not support your keyboard. Unfortunately you’ll probably have to compile Android yourself (with a custom kernel) to fix this which is a much bigger task indeed, as you can see from my other posts on ‘Compiling Google Android’.

cheers,
Bob

Shiv,
you should not set the vdi file to be the installation media, instead the vdi file is the actual harddisk for the machine.

Hi Bob,
I’m using VB on top of Windows XP.
Created the new Virtual machine using the above VDI.
In the Select Installation Media wizard – i pointed the Media source Image file to the .VDI file on my machine. (but file type selection shows *.iso, by default)

But it’s giving “FATAL: No bootable medium found! System halted”

Pl help me how to make it work.
