I'm loving Android more and more. I keep finding (and filing) bugs, but they're all fixable, and this is only going to keep getting better.

Today I installed Debian on my G1. I followed those instructions up until the unionfs part, where I opted to use bind mounts instead, letting me have a /android/data and /android/system inside my Debian ( Read more... )

I pulled the latest Android git code and fixed some performance bugs in the SMS app. Here's the improved SMS app:

Enjoy.

I think the world needs more robots that climb up your ass:
