Running Windows 8 Developer Preview from USB

I followed this tutorial on how to run it from USB:

http://www.borncity.com/blog/2011/09/21/creating-windows-8-to-go-on-a-16-gb-usb-stick/

No need for me to write it again, except that i couldn't get it to work with the last dos command..

bcdboot.exe f:\windows /s f: /f ALL

I deleted the /f ALL, so now it looks like this:

bcdboot.exe f:\windows /s f: /

Now my Intel Atom 320 computer is preparing the settings, or what ever it is doing.. takes quite some time..

Ps. it only 77 min to prepare the bootable usb from a basic Intel Core I3 processor with 4gb ram (x64 bit windows 8 dev preview OS)

Android - Missing Shared Library (found out to be google maps)

I'm a lucky owner of a Gadmei T820, a great Android device with nice battery time (seriously). I'm following a the faceboook group: http://www.facebook.com/GadmeiT820 which is the only source right now who provides new builds for the device. The newest build called DIY 2.5B http://www.sendspace.com/file/vflkex is missing a the shared library: com.google.android.maps, which i detected while trying to install PicsIn. it gave me the error "Missing Shared Library".

(Phone needs to be rooted, can be done by downloading Z4Root or SuperOneClick on the android market )

This is the procedure of how I managed to identify the error and fix it for my device (and maybe yours)

Detect Error:

1. Install an app to log activity on your android device. I used "alogcat" (can be found on android market)
2. Launch logging app ("alogcat")
3. Install the app that gives you "Missing Shared Library" error (in this case PicsIn)
4. Go back to alogcat, to pause the logging. Now read anything in red to detect what errors you get.
5. I found out com.google.android.maps is missing

Fix:

1. Get the default Google Apps: http://www.mediafire.com/?m9uhwv08u1r4hum
2. Copy those 2 files from the zip to your SD card:
   /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
   /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
3. use Root Explorer (can be downloaded from android market) to copy the two files to:
4. Copy com.google.android.maps.xml to /system/etc/permissions/ (on your android device's flash memory)
5. Copy com.google.android.maps.jar to /system/framework/ (on your android device's flash memory)
6. use Root Explorer to add the below code in red in: /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml:

Restart phone, and the library should be added. You should be able to install PicsIn.

Have fun!
