I second that thanks.I can only follow in amazement at the progress being made (what with me being a complete linux noob),and when i say noob i mean it.Never used a linux anything until my N900.But i am amazed at its potential, and can only hope it gets the pushes it needs.But powe to up you DJ steve keep up the fantastic work and please dont forget us lesser mortals more commonly known as NOOBS lol.

If this ever became a reality, I don't think you would hear too many people complaining about the N900 any more.

I had already started a thread around a week ago called "Easy Android".

The idea is sound, getting the idea to work is different....
Seems like it's a long shot, but you never know! :D

kexec would shutdown the previous kernel as it starts the new one, and this is the tricky part, if the ram is in a state the new kernel does not "like" it will crash, kernel panic.

Saying that, I'm not as naive as I'm sounding - obviously the small issue of the n900 being a Nokia device has something to do with it. Just dreaming really...
The same reason why there's no Google Maps or lots of commercial apps on the N900. Not enough userbase to warrant the effort.

Would a kernel change be strictly necessary? If the android patches were added to titan's kernel for example, then would it be just a case of stopping conflicting maemo services and starting android?

At this point DJ_Steve is more comfortable starting with the kernel in an existing android build, I think. Perhaps something like this could happen in the future after there is a build that works well enough.

If dj can get nitdroid fully working on the n900 would flash 10.1 work on it?
