Everything is possible to do without connecting the phone to the computer.
However, it is very dangerous. In the event that something goes wrong you will not be able to save your phone.


Installing on eMMC

It is possible but very difficult to implement.

Maemo uses three partitions:
/dev/mmcblk0p1 - FAT32 - ... /MyDocs/ - visible when connected to a PC,
/dev/mmcblk0p2 - Linux - Program Files,
/dev/mmcblk0p3 - swap.
The order and file system ensures proper operation.
I shrunk the p1 of 4GB. I added 2GB to p2. I added a 2GB p4.

Meego uses three partitions:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 - Linux - System
/dev/mmcblk1p2 - Swap
/dev/mmcblk1p3 - FAT32 - booting file.

Android uses two partitions:
/dev/mmcblk1p1 - FAT32
/dev/mmcblk1p2 - Linux - system
P1 - necessary. P2 must be 2GB? Market should then work.

How to install Android or Meego on extended partition eMMC /dev/mmcblk0p4?
It still should be pretty easy.
How to install on it Meego and Android?
One in an extended partition eMMC /dev/mmcblk0p4 and the second on an SD card.
It probably would be most sensible solution.
