Android port looking promising?

---

As far as compatibility goes, I was looking up the parts list for the Lumia 900 and found that virtually all of the parts are compatible and are in use with current android phones.
Part Model # Andriod support Android phone with part
Processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 (APQ8055) YES (lots)
GPU Adreno 205 GPU YES HTC Desire S
Modem Qualcomm MDM9200 3G/4G YES HTC Vivid
Touch Atmel mXT224 touchscreen controller (MXT-N0K1 CCU-1R0 1G3818B) YES HTC EVO 4G
WiFi Broadcom BCM4329 (BCM4329EKUBG) YES (Cyanogen mod)
RF Tranciver Qualcomm QTR8600 (QTR8615L ACV313.0 H41470A7) YES HTC Thunderbolt
GSM/EDGE Avago ACPM-7868 YES Driod 4
USB SMSC USB2512B YES HTC Thunderbolt

All that needs to be done is accsess the bootloader and compile a kernal and grab the exstention from CM...

Sounds interesting, I'll be more glad to get work WP8 on Lumia 900.

An Android port sounds like an interesting science project but I agree that I'd rather see it get WP8.

That is, if we can get the bootloader unlocked.

well then, lets get started. The dev board for the lumia 900 is sad.

OK I see the Lumia 710's and Lumia 800's use a nokia bootloader and the Lumia 900's use a Qualcom boot loader. Is it similar to any other devices?

It's the other way, 710/800 use the Qualcomm and 900/newer 710 and 800 uses Nokia. Nokia bootloader isn't flashable at the moment, but I saw from another post that it is possible to flash the Qualcomm bootloader to 710. Maybe the same trick can be used also on the 900.

This thread lives in bizarro world.

There will be a WP8 port before Android. Porting is all about the boot loader and drivers - the real hardcore devs that can pull this stuff are (mostly) doing other stuff, like building CM10 and Linaro.

As you said, it is about drivers. Everything already has drivers for android. As far as windows the only things I see working would be the processor, and wifi. And ideally it looks like 2.3 would be a better hardware/software match. Although jelly bean looks interesting...

I don't doubt that it would be possible to make a kernel, but as of now, its impossible to bootstrap that kernel. Obviously someone needs to unlock this bootloader!
