The big question is whether Android still requires a custom Linux kernel. I know years ago it did, and the first batch of changes Google proposed weren't admitted into the Linux kernel. I heard that they modified their proposal, and that subsequently they did get changes into the official kernel. Whether it now has *everything* Android needs? I don't know. Google "Android on Linux" and you'll probably find a few relevant links. -- hendrik _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
