DONATE TO ME
Default How many users would be interested in Android

I have been messing with android on my blackstone for a while now and would love to run it on my athena, I have a copy of 1.0 android that boots that was posted ages ago on here, and have tried to no avail to boot a later version either 1.5 or 2.0.1.

I feel that its pretty close but need someone with some linux/android experience as I think the problem lies in the initrd file.

With this is mind if there is enough interested I would like to see how many people would be willing to donate to a developer/developers to get this running on the athena?

I have seen bounty threads before and they seem to work, so post if you interested in donating to the cause.
Donate if you like my efforts

By the looks of it not many people want android for athena? for anyone who does bear with me as I am spending a huge amount of time behind the scenes working on trying to port 2.0.1 with some help from some experts

Default Would find Android an interesting idea

Hello avergerpenguin,

Would be very interested in seeing this happen, I have been keeping an eye on your work for WM 6.5 but not yet had time to try flashing one of the roms but if your work on there is anything to go by then I'm sure this will be good. Is this going to be full rom for the phone or run as an app over the top of win mobile?

At present it is not possible to run android without winmo, however mitchy has created a rom for diamond that only loads the drivers etc needed and then autoloads android meaning that you cant get to the winmo underneath.

But firstly I need to compile a working android kernel, see what does and doesnt work and then go from there and possibly create a android only rom, but depends on functionality

Talking Android on Athena

I would love to have Android on my Athena, or even Maemo5
dopod U1000 (HTC Athena) Using MitchyPrima 6.5 & SPB Mobile Shell Android style Theme.
Linux on this device is almost impossibe due to no Drivers or Documentation for ATI Hardware.

Current Phone: Nokia N900 Maemo5. Great Device! Runs Pure Linux, Hackable, can run it as a file sharing server, several emulators to expand functionality......etc....

Next Phone: Gonna wait for Linux Tegra3 Phone. w/ 12Mp Camera
