Hey people. I had a two year old tablet running on WM8505 and it was fine until yesterday. I took it and dropped it on the floor which made the screen crack. The touchscreen is not working and it will never work. I know that it has a pretty small 133mhz processor coupled with 128mb ram, yet out of curiosity i want t o know how far i can pull it to be useful. i obviously wanted to boot Linux and use it with a mouse. ( of course, even android supports a mouse, yet Linux is so powerful, yet lightweight and most customizable ) so i thought of giving it a try. i came across many tutorials on similarly made Chinese netbooks running Debian and so thought why not give it a try. so, i followed the same thing but somehow the script would not show itself on my tablet. so i decided that i would give myself my very own version of porting it i.e right from the scratch. i am still a rookie and turned to Linux only a month ago. before i was a lazy gamer:)
     i am telling you all i did because these are the unsuccessful ways and so don't waste your time trying them.

1. i tried putting the working version of Linux in a folder "script" ( as my tablet firmware is upgraded by putting all OS files in folder script in SD card and booted). the first thing was that a working Linux has hardware links which is not writable on any partition except ext2 and only fat32 is read by my android. at least at boot.
2. so i digged in and replaced the android file-system with Linux ones and simply wrote them on my nand. but it was stuck at boot screen probably because my boot loader might have expected another file-system or initialization script but another one has showed up. 
3. now, i realized that android uses init.rc placed in / which issues initialization commands. so i simply removed it all and explored out that /etc/inittab is initalized in linux. so tried writing simple lines of code to mount sdcard as root and invoke inittab to start booting. i still am rookie so i wrote simple commands but it did not boot. 
4. if there were any sort of dmesg, it would be spectacular but i think i should go the hard way. i meanwhile discovered that wload and uboot are used. so currently studying them and sorting out how to boot.

the process is not dead so you ( if you are curious to know more or already know more) may feel free to write it down and send it to me at aveemashfaq@gmail.com
