Hi! I've been studying options to replace Windows Mobile 5 in dell axim handhelds and palm OS Garnet on palm devices. After some thinking, I've become very enthusiast with the idea of building android in such a way to support these devices.
However, I'm pretty lost on where I could begin this (probably big and time-consuming) task. Ive already acquired the android source using the instructions from the "get source" page, and compiled them, but thats as far as I've got. There was a project called axdroid (http://axdroid.blogspot.com/) that has seemed to suffer a soon death due to the fact that the only contributor to the project bought himself an HTC Magic, and he hasn't released his code anywhere. I'm really, very interested in making this thing work, and I'm willing to invest a lot of time on supporting these devices. The only problem, is that I dont know how to start... At my disposition, I have a palm lifedrive and a dell axim x51, and my first goal, would be to manage to make android load properly up to its user interface in both devices, without replacing the current OS (I believe there is a tool called cocoboot for palm, and a similar called Haret for windows mobile, that allow to load a linux kernel into the device). Once there, I would then patiently solve any compatibility issue (up to where my skill would allow it) and after everything, if I get to a satisfactory result, Id study how to get Android to load directly from these devices without depending neither on windows mobile or Garnet. Can anyone here advice me on how I could get this thing going on??? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
