First: I am a absolute n00b
I want to learn about porting Android for Nokia phones. I want to do something like porting Android for Nokia 5233/5228 phone, which my friend has. I saw its specifications and found that It has got NAND memory, external SD card support, It runs on ARM11 processor.
I tried to do some searching and found Android supports ARM Architecture, so I think the porting is possible (may be difficult). I then headed to the Android site and tried to learn about porting, but I couldn't make out much out of it.
Can someone on this forum help me out. Even if there is no direct solution, I would be happy with learning how to port the OS. May be there is no solution to the thing I am talking about, still you could help me learn porting.
P.S: Kindly don't post something like "What you talk is impossible, get out of this thing." I am serious in learning things.

hey buddy lots of people want to port android to s60v5 phones.
the thing is that firstly symbian doesn't allows any other os so you need dediated separate external hardware to wipe symbian off the nokia phone then you have to be prepared to port android to it.
Keep this thing in mind that you need to convert all the necessary files to the resolution of the nokia phones.
if you wanna run an application then also yo need to convert it to your native resolution only..
its gonna be a quite tiresome job.
i wish you all the best...
well, then i guess porting a QVGA version of android on to a QVGA Nokia Device (like the C5) or a landscape QVGA (say, from Galaxy Pro) on to a Landscape QVGA symbian device could ease things off a bit?
not so easy..
Its nearly impossible to replace symbian from nokia...

The resolution would be the least of his problems. The real problem is. Android needs source. Although you could just hope that, for example, an android version for Samsung Galaxy Ace would work. If it doesn't work. You have a completely wiped phone that is basically a bricked one.
Then there are the problems of incompatible components. While Nokia build their software with that phone in mind, the components work together nicely. Android on the other hand was built for Nexus Phones. And since there is no open source OS from Nokia that I know of, you can't copy over drivers.

Okay, I know the odds of this happening are pretty low and at this point, pretty undesirable due to Windows Phone 7/7.8 being so out of date....but, HTC HD2 has been known to Dual-boot with Android and Windows Phone OS (and now devs even have it running Windows RT!), but what is so special about that phone that allows it to run these two OS's but not other HTC devices?
Hi there -
I have an Acer C720P but I find I don't use it very much because I've gotten used to a handful of excellent Android apps on my phablet (e.g., PocketCasts, Press, etc). That got me to thinking: if Android can run on so many different devices, is there a way to convert my chromebook to an Android laptop? That would be pretty sweet...especially since this chromebook has a touchscreen, which seems well suited to Android.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with that or can point me to a site that would explain how it can be done (or tell me it can't be done).
Thanks!

I am looking for that too. It would be veri nice have a android on this device
I'm fully aware this site is mainly android & windows phones. I'm just looking for someone that might be able to fix an app that was released for windows 8 pc's. It's called Touchpal, it was put out in Windows 8 but was dropped. It's a swipe feature & is badly needed for us tablet users. I have been able to get the program running by installing & running it in Windows 8 compatibility mode. Everything about the keyboard works except for the swipe function.
I'm wondering if anybody might be willing to take this task on & see if they can get it to work properly, seems like it might not be that hard to accomplish for anybody that knows what they are doing.
Anyways, thanks in advance & please message me if you need any info on the app.
Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum, I just couldn't find a place that this might catch someones attention. If you have to move it that's fine, just let me know where you moved it to.
Hi !
I've bought one of those cheap Chinese 10" tablets with quad core Intel Atom processor, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal storage, micro SD slot, micro HDMI output, micro nano SIM card slot, micro USB plug, front and rear camera, and protective magnetic cover with integrated keyboard and trackpad.
They exist in either Android or Windows 8.1 versions. I obviously bought the Windows 8.1 version (not even used at all, I hate it), immediately upgraded it to Windows 10 and it works a breeze.
You'll just have to allow all upgrades to be made to windows 8.1 until you're prompted to upgrade. Once done, I immediately erased the 8.1 recovery files to make room, good bye and good riddance, job done. ^^
Check Out Lenovo Yoga 900 it's support Windows 10
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 ,Microsoft Surface 3 Dell Venue 8 Pro all these are good option
I like - Lenovo Miix 700
I got a Visual Land Prestige Elite 11Q tablet and I am wondering why it is that there is so little activity out there about custom roms and rooting. The tablet has an USB port and a slot for an external SD card and I would like to know whether alternate operating systems can be booted from those, but again googling does not produce any relevant hits. Finally the XDA website does not even let me add it to my devices.
Is there a bias of some sort against Visual Land devices? If there is why?
