… and then there’s root access for the G1

Jake uncovered it, and as he says, it’s almost stupidly easy. Curious to see if this gives you access to the bootloader firmware, and if so, whether you can alter it to allow non-signed kernels. Exciting! Should-be-unnecessary!

    Debian & Android Together on G1 http://www.saurik.com/id/10

    This does not replace Android. This also gives you access to the full plethora of programs available in Debian and let’s you continue using your phone as it was intended to be: as an Android device with all the capabilities thereof. I think that gives you every thing you where asking for. :)
