Do you think this is possible?

Yes, but in what state is harder to answer.

may be yes, but it is too early for this question.

Try Nemo on the N900, see how the poor device struggles to run it, and imagine running even heavier stuff on top of it.
I don't consider it feasible. But it should be able to boot, yes.

I guess someone will have a go, but as Pycage points out, the hardware will struggle, even when overclocked.
Don't think it'll appear in the repos as such, more of a "trash your N900 at your own risk" endeavor.

Sure, but who will bother to do that? Meh, thumb2 is stable on omap3630, guess whether it is used in Harmattan. I bet it is not used in Sailfish too. By "historical reasons" I guess.

Is anyone trying to port one for N900. If nemo can run, why not sailfish?

So... is it time for harmattan-999-pr-thumb?

I just checked some of the binaries from Harmattan with 'file' amd you're right - the binaries are indeed compiled without Thumb support.

Maybe we should tell Jolla to build their binaries with Thumb on their devices?
