Have any the of ROM gurus began porting Froyo to the the M001 yet?I understand that the kernal is smaller, and with the new JIT, the requirements are less the 1.6, and the speed is faster.I lok forward to seeing the Eken Froyo, and adding some funds to the guru that gets the ported 2.2 working.

I think that froyo requires a newer revision of the arm CPU than what we have. Doesnt make it impossible, just more difficult (and timely)

its hypothetically possible, but the kernel on the EKEN needs sorting first, we dont even have proper kernel hacked 1.6 roms yet, so i wouldnt hold your breath. I have froyo on my HTC hero using the .29 (the one the EKEN uses) but its weather or not that kernal has been modified, and if it has, how.Like i said, possible
the kernel in the m001 is different from a normal android kernel. its not as clean and it is built from montvista embedded linux, once we pick it apart and sort it out we might get it running, but that'll be a awhile, we want to getting working 1.6 kernels first so 2.2 isnt even on the map yet.
