Android on Fsc T830?

[TooKooL]

I read a lot about android is running on this, and that.. lot of devices. Is there a possibility to run it on a T830? I don't know much about android, and it's hardware support, so this question might sound a bit lame :)
It have to be pda specific like windows mobile?

Hello,

Well i think it is possible to compile a Android Kernel to boot on FSC T830. But the main problem is its hardware support. Well, FSC T830 has supported Processor and enough ROM and RAM to make Android fit in. I did not test it or did any work to compile such kernel but if you want to work on it then let me know :D. All we need are some basic info about the hardware to know if its worth trying or not.

What do we have to know about it?:)

Hi, Tookool

Well we need the chipset info about the GSM controller, mainboard, wlan, gps, bluetooth, display, touchscreen and keyboard.

We need the keyboard and display to work at the very first place else it would be impossible to do anything. I have read on the forum about dual booting from SD card using gnuharet.exe. So we can compile a kernel and boot it on SD memory. Well I'm going to take a look on the Android Kernel and try to compile it and run it over QEMU. Hope for the luck. :)

Hi,

I'm using the WM6.1 on my FCS T830 right now, but running Android on it sure sounds like an even cooler idea.
I hope somebody manages to get this working!!!

Hey!

Any news? :)

[CommanderROR]

Well, is this project dead or what happened?

Donno, k1dugar isn't responding :(

Hello,

I am sorry for late reply but somehow i lost the interest on building this image now bcoz of lack in features availability in Android which would make this image useless. I'm waiting for google to launch the full source code for it. I'm Working on making WM6.1 final rom where all feature will be working and stable.

Please carry on the work, i normally dont work in a way that i will do something and upload my final work. I like ppl to research themself and make it themself so they can learn and improve something on there way. Sure untile i think its stable and wont harm someone's hardware in anyway then i will upload the final work, until then just step by step guide.

Let me finsh WM6.1 with help of all you ppl and then we can work on Android, I personally Love *NIX system. I would be more then happy to make my phone run Linux.

A fully working wm 6.1 would be great :) Just keep up the work with that, android can wait :) Don't forget about the blue keyboard thing ;)
