Android-x86 on EEEPC 701

Finally got some fancy thing to update. I have the android running on my netbook!

I am amazed how easy the installation is. I followed the instructures precisely. No suprising thing happend during the procedures.

Thanks to the team code.google.com/p/android-x86/.  They have done a great job.

Only one thing needs to be clearified.  Since I am using the XP, the apk installation instructures is a little different than they are described on the official site. To install the apk, we need to ..

On android:

  • Settings -> Unknown sources.   Allow the android to install non-market applications
  •  Settings->Wireless controls->Wi-Fi settings.  Click  the Wi-Fi network (below the Text Label Wi-Fi networks) you connected to check the ip address of your android device.

On you host: 

  • set ADBHOST=<android-x86 ip address>
  • adb kill-server
  • adb install <your apk file name>

Enjoy the Android! Thanks to the team android-x86 again.

nice to know, installation instructure of QQ on Linux

QQ is the most popular IM client in China. It's always make me feel frustrated for it's installation on Linux.  Hope this guide would be helpful.

BTW. It's from a Chinese learner.

another try for picasa

 Another approach is using the open DNS. 

Set the default and secondary DNS with 208.67.222.222  and 208.67.220.220.

Well, this time I managed to logon but the web page is still mess up. The browser does not want to display any photos. It's still useless. I think some parts of script didn't be download by my browser. 

But this really does some good for the www.google.com. Won't receive any access error for the www.google.com anymore.

My personal signature is  'Fuck GFW!'  from now.    

I just wish this won't last so long.   What can we do?  There is nothing we can change, anyway!

Wait ... in patient.....

Cannot access to picasa.google.com

This time it's the google picasa. Looks like it was since June 24th.  What's it for? 

The DNS returns a error IP address for the google picasa. Fuck GFW! 

It has been told add below IP addresses in  the hosts file can solve this problem.

203.208.39.104 picadaweb.google.com
203.208.39.104 lh1.ggpht.com
203.208.39.104 lh2.ggpht.com
203.208.39.104 lh3.ggpht.com
203.208.39.104 lh4.ggpht.com
203.208.39.104 lh5.ggpht.com
203.208.39.104 lh6.ggpht.com

Unfortunately, it does not work for me. I even can not access to that ip address via ping. 

BTW. I found for some people the GFW really does not effect too much to their life. They even can not sense it existing. Those people only play QQ web games.
