Following the instructions at http://freerunner.android.koolu.com/release-files, I formatted my 8GB microSD card to be one FAT16 partition, and untarred the Beta 6 archive at root.

It booted, but then complained that the process Application Settings in process com.android.settings was not responding. I tried clicking Wait a few times. Then I put the phone aside for a few minutes and the screen blanked. I reactivated it by hitting the power button, then there was a new error that the process com.android.phone had stopped unexpectedly. I clicked "Force close", which was the only option.

I saw the same error after clicking on the Open Source Licenses viewer.

Unfortunately this image includes a Skype icon of some kind. Do not want.

Basically nothing worked after installing. I received the "com.android.phone" error whenever I tried to do anything meaningful.

It also doesn't seem to like my SIM, as it complains that I have no service.

Looks like someone reported the Application Settings error here.

How do I get an account for the Trac instance?

To get adb working on my Debian testing amd64 box, I installed ia32-libs.

 adb kill-server
 ADBHOST=192.168.0.202 adb devices

Note that it shows up as eth1 rather than usb0.

ia32-archive on my mipsel laptop should work but doesn't install right now.

Connecting with adb shell and running logcat, I see the bluetooth headset service crashing constantly. As per this thread, removing the APN entries seems to solve the problems.
