iDroid Installer - Major Updates


iDroid Updates
  • iDroid Installer Sterling Scorpion Updated from v2.0.001 to v2.0.002
  • iDroid Installer Mercury Crab Updated from v4.0.001 to v4.0.002

These changes include:

From the iDroid Project's Site: (http://www.idroidproject.org/forum/announcements/idroid-11-02-pepparkaka-release-announcement/)

This is the iDroid Project's second release of Android Gingerbread for iDevices, built from the community source code repos at http://www.github.com/iDroid-Project

This release is for iPhone 2G,  iPhone 3G & iPod Touch 1G and is available as a binary package or via Bootlace.

Special thanks go to ddominator (and those who helped him - Popple3, Lopi etc) for all his hard work with the software buttons.

IF YOUR DEVICE IS NOT STATED ABOVE THEN IT IS NOT SUPPORTED - WE DO NOT HAVE ETA'S ON OTHER PORTS AT THE MOMENT.

You DO NOT need a new version of OpeniBoot to boot this - If your openiboot install is capable of booting later MoJo releases, then it will be able to boot this

Changelog
This is a relatively minor release in comparison to previous ones.
  • All repos updated in line with upstream, thus we are now running Android 2.3.2
  • New software button emulation (Button savior is now completely removed, and buttons added to the status bar and notifications bar)
  • SD Emulation hack re-instated - /private/var/sdcard on the iOS side as before
  • New custom boot animation by ddominator - we are open to community submissions for artwork!
  • Reconfigured keyboard animation values - should reduce input lag considerably
  • Various un-noteworthy updates and changes to external projects

Those of you that track us (or me) on github, will have noticed a lot of changes to the ramdisk (and its associated binaries), these changes have not made it into this release, however I am gearing up to drop our current ramdisk set up and completely automate builds, this will enable us to run nightly builds in the near future.
