An open phone operating system means there is the potential to install it on most anything. As an example, to install Linux on a Kenmore dishwasher, you need: 1. A Kenmore dishwasher capable of installing an operating system. 2. A version of Linux ported to the Kenmore dishwasher. In your case, to install Android on another phone, you need: 1. A phone that is capable of flashing an alternative firmware. 2. A firmware containing Android ported to that phone. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android Training on the Ranch! -- Mar 16-20, 2009 http://www.bignerdranch.com/schedule.shtml --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
