Android on Kobo Mini

Hi guys.

I've successfully run Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a Kobo Mini using the 2014 Touch image from Marek Gibek.

You need to patch the u-boot and kernel like this (quoting snowbody from MobileRead):

get hardware config from original kobo mini (sd card is mmcblk1)
dd if=/dev/mmcblk1 of=kobo_mini_hw_config.img skip=524272 bs=1 count=67

write hw-config to your kobo-image
dd if=kobo_mini_hw_config.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 seek=524272 bs=1

You can find the necessary files here: https://github.com/najnesnaj/kobo-mini-android
write U-boot
dd if=u-boot_mddr_256-E50610-K4X2G323PC.bin skip=2 of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 seek=2

write kernel
dd if=uImage of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=512 seek=2048

And to make the vfat partition mount properly on boot, change the vold.fstab sdcard line to point to mxsdhci.2 rather than what was there before.

I also installed some apps that make it look newer. You can find them here: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231681&page=28

I posted on the MobileRead form with attachments.

If you try this, let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions.
