I'm sorry i did read a few pages but i can't read all the 27 pages ... so i have a question : are you guys trying to boot the nokia kernel patched with android patchs, but with the maemo rootfs ? If so, wouldn't it be easier to boot the patched android kernel with an android rootfs hosted on an microSD partition ?
Else i did successfully boot android on the pandora gaming console, and latest kernel use dss2 too. What i did is select the old omap-fb driver instead the dss one in the kernel configuration ( you have to disable the dss2 driver in kernel config before beeing able to see the omap-fb driver ) then patched it with the previous omapfb patchs posted here.

Well, i'm interessed in having android on the n900, could someone sumarize the current progress to see if i can help ?

currently we have a working port but it is very slow and as far as i know bluetooth/sound/calls dont work, but i dont have a n900 so i am not sure - you best off checking the www.nitdroid.com site for info

Hey dj, good to hear from you again. Don't mind Callensunny, I think he is jealous they can run it and not us yet. I feel his pain as well Keep at it, ALSA is bound to give in eventually. I'm surprised we have not received any word from the people in #nitdroid. I can see if they were disinterested, but I was hoping for them to say they were and not ignore us

probably because 90% of winmobile phones are made by htc so porting android to htc isnt particually hard as they released the first android phone (which i have). havent made much progress myself yet still arguing with alsa and making it compile

was taling to bri3d and luke-jr other day like, alsa seems to be a general pain to compile apprently but we need its code or sound will never work (due to the ASoC drivers required for sound on the nxx0 series.


UPDATE No 1: ok compile is now proceeding properly with all alsa libs included, once this builds i will be trying the new rootfs and seeing what happens, hopefully it should work and may even have sound to boot
