 The Android build system, which hopefully went off without a hitch, will have generated a number of filesystem images in <tt>out/target/product/msm</tt> under the root directory of the source tree.
-Until development of the system has progressed to the point where the system can be flashed to the phone's integrated flash storage, most of the generated images are of no concern. The most interesting image is <tt>system.img</tt>, which contains the binaries generated by the compilation process.
+Until development of the system has progressed to the point where the system can be flashed to the phone's integrated flash storage, most of the generated images are of no concern. The most interesting image is <tt>system.img</tt>, which contains the binaries generated by the compilation process.[http://www.gadgetsdotcom.com/ ]
 If the recommendations given in [[Build Configuration]] have been followed, the filesystem images will be ext2. This is usable as-is with the current initramfs that the XDAndroid project uses, and it can be renamed <tt>[[system.ext2]]</tt> and placed in the user's <tt>andboot</tt> directory for a successful boot.
 Optionally, the system image can be repacked as a SquashFS file system, for smaller size. Instructions on completing this step will follow shortly.

	For XDAndroid, update.zip must be downloaded manually and copied to the "andboot" directory (or equivalent) on the SD card. Note that XDAndroid update releases are named, e.g. "update''-FRX03''.zip" and must be renamed to "update.zip" to engage Android's update system.

 APK = Android application package file [http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/glossary.html from the Android Glossary]
-Of course you can install apps through the Market, but if you wish to install apps manually using an APK file, there is a folder &mdash; <tt>AndroidApps</tt> &mdash; off of where you run <tt>[[HaRET|haret.exe]]</tt> from.  Simply place the APK inside this folder, and on the next boot the APK will be installed on the system.  Notice there are folders within this main <tt>AndroidApps</tt> folder. Do not place any APKs inside these folders. They are there for you to pick and choose some apps that some may find useful, but we didn't want to automatically install them for the sake of having a clean build.

The final choice was QualityEssay.Com as they did have an excellent reputation.
