If they get slingmobile support, then yes.

If you have an Android device it's not hard to add the Google apps to a no apps build (aka Cyanogen.) There are scripts on xda devs for Cyano, so it should just be a case of running one of those.

Yea this definately works and is 100% legal on Google Branded devices . . . as for the N900? . . . lol . . . anyway I read somewhere that the Android Market Place aka App Store would not work on NON-GOOGLE phones . . . something about the IMEM Number on the phone.

Ok guys, sorry for the wait. Here are the patches I used to get the kernel working for android. I don't have complete build instructions yet, but I suppose you know how to patch files, compile a kernel, etc. I take no responsibility for what you're doing!

I'm still trying to get it more functional, but at least more people can duplicate it now. I'll try to help with any questions.

If you want a packaged android build, check out http://code.google.com/p/rowboat

Thank you that's great!

One question though, did you manage to launch Android using fanoush's bootmenu? And if you did, what's in your android.item?
I don't really want to flash my Maemo, or boostrap the kernel using the flasher...

Thanks

I did launch android using fanoush's bootmenu. Here is my android3.ext.item

Code:

ITEM_NAME="Android (external SD, partition 3)"
ITEM_ID="android3"                        
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p3"                                                  
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"                                             
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime"

You're going to have to boot a different kernel than the stock kernel for android to work because of the dependencies. My hope is that these can be built as modules and loaded, but that may not be possible. I will try to package a working filesystem and kernel just for testing.

So, for the moment, you've flashed the phone kernel with the Android one right?
What about the ITEM_LINUXRC option? Doesn't it enable the launching of another kernel?

Yes, I've flashed the kernel. I've also just loaded the kernel using the flasher and booted the android partition from there. I'm not sure how to use the linuxrc option just yet.
