Hi!
Just a thought:
I have been trying to a dual boot running and I just CAN NOT do it.

So forgetting how stupid I seem to be.

Can something like Easy Debian be made, but with Android in it's place?

Only asking as it seems feasible as they're both Linux, Easy Deb works... Maybe Android could?

Well..Maemo is based on Debian..so Easy Debian really is just adding some tweaks to be able to run modified Debian applications. I don't know abouit Android though.

No, Android doesn't use X11 or any standard Linux libraries. It would require a far more extensive amount of work.

It should be even easier than that. Android apps are java based, which means we only need java and the right set of jars to provide the framework that android needs, passing functions off to the n900 as needed. There is already a desktop-based sdk, so it might just be a matter of modifying that. Not sure how open the source is for that, but the android api is a finite set of classes and methods that need to be made available.

Wow..

Seens like a .... long shot possibility.

I just can't seem to get any of these dual boot's running.
I have followed everything to the letter and can't do it.
Easy Deb is excellent!

Bzzt. It uses the Java language, but the output of the compiler and the interpreter itself are not compatible with the standard Java runtimes. You would be required to port Dalvik itself.

There is an SDK, but testing takes place entirely within an emulator running Android itself.

The source is completely available, but it is much more work than you think. Android makes a huge number of assumptions with regards to how the filesystem is laid out, so a chroot would only be the very first step. After that comes graphics, kernel updates, and any other hardware interaction it assumes.
