Android isn't as open source as some users may like.

I wish this project gets completed. I would like to see Android on the n900. Again anything u do install or change is optional and wud be kl to have it as a dual boot device.
I support all the folk that take their time out an put the hard work in to make all these great apps/os/games/mods/hacks etc. Without u guys these devices wud suck!

So keep it up an let us knw wen u aim or hope to have the android os up :D

wowsers! bdogg you are making awesome progress. Are you trying to be a 1 man wrecking crew when it comes to getting this running or are up for help? (not from me;) The reason I ask is that it seems like you are making a lot of progress yourself but might move even faster with multiple eyes on what you are doing.

I'd rather someone else take over the project honestly, because its just that to me, a project. I'm not even really attempting to get a full blown working android build on the n900. It would be nice, but that's beyond the time and effort I have. I don't care to replace maemo with android, mer or whatever. I just like the option of having them. I'll leave that to the platform zealots. I posted the patches I used to get it working before and will gladly do it again if anyone wants it.

one thing for sure is more people are needed in this project, i suggest a wiki or a form to be made as a home for this project and everything you have done so far you can post as a tutorial for users on how they would install android on their phones, and I'm sure more will contribute and we can all work together to make it happen. and as for me I'm willing to help you out with it .

maybe if there are more incentives...more people will be more willing to help...for example..over at xda...every rom dev. ask for donation like that's their only source of income....no offense to them at all..Just saying...they ARE putting a lot of their time on it....I donated to a couple of the devs that create ROMs I used....they work really hard too....

Re: [Android] Eclair NITDroid (WIP)
 
azz the only problem with that is what comes first the chicken or the egg. While I wouldn't mind tossing some money to the devs that bring my N810 new life, I would want a working product before I did so. So you have to convince a devs that the money will be there if they complete the project.

We can start a running donation tab somehow that would get paid if the project ever gets completed and maybe bribe some people into the project. Not sure how to go about it but I'm sure there is a safe, logical legal way

I always liked the project bounty idea, put up amounts of money for different areas of the OS. Someone gets cell network and phone functionality working then they get X amount, and X is more then Y amount for something like the lock switch. It lets devs know where the end user wants them to focus and gives them a hard cash prize for reaching certain goal posts. :)
