Re: [9fans] Problem Installing Hellaphone on Nexus S

[John Floren <john@jfloren.net>]

Well, to start with, I'm an idiot. The commands should look like this:

# stop zygote
# stop media
# /system/bin/mediaserver-inferno &
# /data/inferno/Android/arm/bin/emu-g

There's no such service as "mediaserver", but the "stop" command sure
won't tell you that! When I actually went in and tested the original
commands, sure enough it hung right where you said. Try the ones above
and let me know how it works.
