Launch Qtopia on SD

First get the ext2fs module for your phone: Filesystems E6/A1200 modules

(you should need only the ext2.o, you can delete the others)

You must partition and format your sd to follow the 'qtopia on sd' method, best way is to use linux, with GNU fdisk.

So, begin the command line with fdisk:

-delete all partitions on sd (d command) -create 2 new partition one of the type of your choice (fat32 is recognized by windows so the best choice for the bigger partition), and the other of type "linux". (n command) -Write this change, that quit fdisk. (w command)

Then format at least the linux partition: if /dev/sdx is your sd (could be /dev/sda , sdb, or sdc.../dev/mmcblk0...)

mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdx2

Ok, you can now mount the ext2 partition, untar the qtopia archive on it. Assuming you always mount this partiton on /media/mmc-part2:

mount /dev/sdX2 /media/mmc-part2

go to its directory: cd /media/mmc-part2

download this: http://ezxdev.org/qtopia/experimental/qtopia_4.3.2_25.09.08_0.tar.bz2

untar the archive on an ext2 partition of the sd card. then mount it.

tar -xvjf /PATH/OF/THE/ARCHIVE/qtopia_4.3.2_25.09.08_0.tar.bz2

Place the sd on the phone open a terminal:

{{{mkdir /mmc/mmca2 mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p0 /mmc/mmca1}}}

insmod /mmc/mmca1/ext2.o

kill apmd, emud and start motod: to know what is the process id of all this stuff: {{{ps ax | grep apmd ps ax | grep emud}}} Download motod from here : http://ezxdev.org/qtopia/motod/

Note you can perhaps use 2 sd cards for the trick, because on e6, you can swap sd card without restarting the phone...And then you don't need mkdir /mmc/mmca2, you just can mount the 2nd sd on regular place /mmc/mmca1 instead.

Then qtopia 4.3.2 should launch with entering ./qpe.sh on it's directory.
