Truth be told, this was the first thing I tried to do, but later on decided to use openembedded as my ultimate aim is to have a cli image (with less stuff on it as I don't want/need the gui). I think the "shr-image" target I build is similar, if not the same, as the building of the SHR - a link to which you provided above. > Where are instructions for building from OE-classic as well as new > layers, but with htcdream there is problem in oe-core, see this thread: > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2011-October/010993.html > Interesting, but thankfully that doesn't apply to me, right? > I'm not familiar with htcdream, but this looks like some problem with kernel fb > driver, you can try to boot shr-image, setup ssh access and then > shutdown xserver (with /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop) to see if you get > console login (check inittab if it's starting getty there) and also try > other vts with chvt. > The phone, as far as I know, is not connected anywhere - I don't have a working wifi/gsm etc - fastboot uses the usb link to transfer (and boot) the image. Is it possible to, somehow, use usb to connect to the phone this way (if so, how)? As you probably have gathered by now, I am a n00b when it comes to this smartphone/embedded devices business, so would need a bit of help with it. What is "vts" and "chvt"? I was thinking (that was plan B) to specify runlevel 3, not 5, thus forcing a console log in (provided there is one!) - don't know if this works on smartphones though!
