Even if it was possible, the n9 doesn't have enough buttons to be able to navigate the Android OS.

If at all possible..you can get ICS to run on the N9..but the old GPU on the N9(530) can be a problem..

Yet the N900 ran it fine with SAME gpu??

The GPU wouldnt be the problem


The buttons would be a slight hiccup, but the proximity sensor can be used, also the screens double tap could be used as the unlock method and the lock button be used for something else :)

NITDroid already showed us when can be done with talented developers work at something, so I have every faith that e-yes would be able to get it running even better then he did on the n900!

There's an app that can be pre-installed in the build.
It gives you permanent On-Screen Navigation buttons... can't quite remember I think it was called Button Saviour, they use it on the Nook/KFire

Sniper_swe 2011-12-18 10:28

I have tweeted to e-yes about this and if he didnt think it was possible he would not be setting up a donation account as we speak:) we have seen what he could do with the n900. Im going to donate 50 euro:)

What's the point on android?
It was done as fun for N900 and to bring over some games.
Meego and N9 are fine. NITdroid was a great project for n900. Let n9 be n9...

Sniper_swe 2011-12-18 11:00

Yes n9 is great as is but it wools be cool with nitdroid aswell. Could bring even more games to n9.:-) If you don't want it then don't donate. I hope there are more people then me that want it though: p

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
I saw too on twitter that e-yes "wants" a N9 to begin development of nitdroid. It won't bee difficult to collect the money and donate the device to him. There are lot of people who d like to see the N9 run ics.

Sniper_swe 2011-12-18 12:33

Im the one that asked him yesterday that's why I'm trying to raise money:) hopefully we can do it:)

And yet, HD2 runs it smooth with a gpu slower than the one found in the N900. N900's 530 is running at 110mhz while n9's at 200mhz.

i dont see any need to run android on n9, community need to put effort on develope more decent apps instead.

then don't donate. I would like to see it run on the n9 therefore i am donating.

If it could'nt be done E-yes would say so. The more cool stuff we get to the n9 the better.

I'm really hoping we are able to rasie the money!:)

I ain't opening a thread for NITDroid on the N9, just sayin' ;)

arora.rohan 2011-12-18 13:52

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
I'm talking about ICS here as no buttons.. :-/ not Android 2.3.5 or earlier iterations cause frankly i would only want to remove Meego from my N9 for ICS.. and I dont think ICS runs good on a 530 ? is there any device out there with a 530 and on which there is an official version of ICS? im asking!

slai 2011-12-18 14:05

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
Indeed, ICS doesnt use buttons.

Id welcome ICS as an option :)

Sniper_swe 2011-12-18 14:22

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
then lets donate:) lets make this happen. We all know that E-yes works magic;)

Sniper when you get e-yes donation info can you post it on this thread. I'm willing to put up a good amount of money and more if he can get ics running on the n9.

Sniper_swe 2011-12-18 19:14

I will post as soon he gets the Paypal up and running:)

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
How much will we need to raise?

Sniper_swe 2011-12-18 20:17

Around 550 euro I'm in with already 50euro maybe more. I really want to make this happen:)

would save us a lot of anguish if alien dalvik just came out already

Sniper_swe 2011-12-19 09:19

I don't think alien dalvik is coming.

Remember Adobe Flash first demoed on the N900?

I'm all in for a ICS Port for N9.. come to think of it.. it would make the N9, most beautiful ICS phone out there... sigh...

You are right:) ics on n9 would add more features to an already great phone:)

cloudstrife1ph 2011-12-19 11:52

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
question, are the drivers easier or possible to access compared to the n900? that's the main issue in nitdroid...

Sniper_swe 2011-12-19 21:01

I don't know really. I can ask e-yes if he knows.

ammyt 2011-12-20 13:32

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
1GHz OMAP 3630 + PowerVR SGX530 + 1GB RAM is absolutely great to run ICS. Even that old dog with his 3430 and his 256MB RAM can do so.

latency 2011-12-20 13:45

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
I'm ready to donate for this too. Come on Sniper_swe...Go get the paypal link! :)

Would be nice with an official statement by e-yes regarding this too. Timeframe, priority etc.

jalyst 2011-12-20 15:45

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
I personally would prefer to see a community alternative to OpenACL or Alien Dalvik (the former's better).
There are approaches towards that, difficult, but not entirely insurmountable, we just need peeps with the skillz/time.
But this can't hurt too, so long as it doesn't take away too much from the Maemo dev/proactive-usr community.

don_falcone 2011-12-20 16:16

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
...and maybe it's even "better" to donate to the EFF, instead of swapping Harmattan with that castrated OS. ;)

i would post it but the problem is that paypal dont let russain users withdraw money to bank account unless you have a american bank account.

I'm trying to figure out some other way of donating the cash to e-yes.
I'm open for ideas.:)

Regarding timeframe etc i think its kinda hard for e-yes to answer without having the n9 but i will ask him when we get the donation account situation solved:)

Lovsan 2011-12-20 18:59

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
how about using western union? i want to see GTA III running on my n9 :cool:

Sniper_swe 2011-12-20 19:03

I'll check the terms out:)

Sniper_swe 2011-12-20 19:18

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
the fees are so high at western union. Example 50$ from sweden to russia and about 18 $ fee :(
that is not an option.

Anybody now of other service that can be used?

Lovsan 2011-12-20 19:26

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
hmm, how about alertpay, i read AlertPay supports Russia federation :)

Alertpay

Lovsan 2011-12-20 19:28

Re: Nitdroid on Nokia n9 and donation thread.
 
how about using Alertpay then, its supports russian federation and it should be pretty easy to get money out of there.

check it out. :)

Sniper_swe 2011-12-20 19:47

Seems a lot better. Thanks:)
