So I wanted to see peoples reaction to porting android to a Xbox or wii ? I have been contemplating putting some time and money into porting a rom for the wii I think it would be really crazy! I managed to get the android live disc running on my modded Xbox but no controls yet. Would anyone be interested in a rom for the wii if I get it working? Let me now!

I'll test it on the wii. Or Xbox 360.
Hell this would give me a reason to turn my wii on

The Wii would be helped by the fact that it has a massive Linux porting community. Check out Whiite Linux. Sadly, they barely have X Window running on most implementations.
On that matter, most of the android functionality is already there, it's a matter of looking pretty. Short Of Angry Birds, they've beat you to it in a lot of ways. They've got apps and even an appstore called the Homebrew Browser. Everything is very slow, but what can you expect from it? Yes, most of the good stuff is running by putting Devkit Pro on top of a weak linux, so some improvement could be had. It's not android, but it does the same things.
So far as the 360 goes, if you could put an indie game out with an intentional bug that lets you run Androidx86 off a thumb drive, you could use the Kinect to emulate touch screen. USB keyboard is available to fill in the rest.

Thank you I'm exploring home brew I was just thinking honeycomb would be sick!

It'd be great, but considering that the Wii is running on 2001 State Of The Art, I doubt it will be able to handle much without the official devkit (Which is illegal unless you are a major label dev). Also, everything has to be put into a binary to load, so even Whiite is being done a convoluted way. I have a bit of knowledge of running homebrew on Wii, so I can get you any info or testing you need.
Start with Froyo. Honeycomb won't happen. Maybe Ice Cream Sandwich, but not Honeycomb, for this type of project, you'll NEED kernel source.
I'd be willing to test on Wii or 360. Sounds awesome.
Wow! Right up my street. My two favs mashed together. So INTERESTED! I'm new to the 'DEV', but addicted, and learning at lightspeed. Xboxs ready and waiting 2 serve! Xbox nandroid would revolutionize the world. It would be one of the most popular PCs ever, not to mention cheap.

Found A Way
Okay, so i was doing some searching and i found something called android-x86
(wwwDOTandroid-x86DOTorg) and they have full source code for a x86/PPC version of android, gingerbread currently. which is good because of the wii which has a PPC prossesor. If you do some editing im sure someone can make android for wii.
I'd be willing to test either system android TV would be cool if we could figure that out .. wii or 360 would be excellent to have android os on it I'm thinking wii would be easy for everyone to use since its so easy to mod and the hbc delivers downloads for everyone

I hate to be cynical here, but the Wii only has 88mb of ram. I dont know if thats enough to run Android. Not to mention that Android was written for the ARM platform and the Wii is PPC.
I would be happy to see android ruining on the xbox 360. Its got to be under of the best ideas I have heard yet.

Yes this is the best idea
I have tried puffin browser which seems to be the best for being compatible with flash sites but ots very laggy and chessboarding happens a lot so i would like a working flash player for htc wildfire please as all the time before I was on android I was dreaming off all the great things on android such as flash player but now I have found my phone is not good enough for it. Flash runs on my phone when I have installed it but im 95% sure its just the flash lite. I wanna be able to play farmville, ea superstars, bbc iplayer and more games and vid sites

Good luck mate, we all share the same dream but everyday our phones get older and are less likely to ever have full flash, there Is no fully working flash for wildfire and trust me I have looked!!

Wake up and smell the coffee mate. You get what you pay for.
2 options for Flash:
1) Puffin - As you already have attempted
2) Flash Player for ARMv6 - Works very patchily. But still, since it is so vital for you, you might as well give it a go. Don't expect all your dreams to be fulfilled though.

I havnt got custom rom so i cant run the armv6 flash. I have tried so many versions but none work and the flash which does seem to be working is using flash lite. I hope paul can get it working as long as it works im not too bothered about lag as i wont use it for flash video if its so laggy, i will just use it for games. Puffin plays ea superstars facebook game ok, only prob is the page zooming abd scrolling lags and it has chessboard so makes it harder to play the game becasue of tgese anoying things. Paul, you are the best developer ive ever seen your trying to make the almost impossible on wildfire possible thanks, i hope for it to be released before the end of 2011. Cloud browse iphone briwser is coming to android and should be relased before end of 2011 only prob with cloud browse is u have 2 pay for unlimited usage but from youtube vids I have seen of it on iphone, the flash runs better than puffin not much better but its still better and looks less laggy for page scrolling and zooming. So if u release it at the around the same time then i could test both and see which 1 runs best, there is no dought that cloud btowse will load up the games/videos faster as cloud browsrs are way faster and its not running the flash on the phone, its running it in the cloud but i will expect the lag to be the same. We will have to wait and see.

I have installed lots of armv6 flash but none of them actually work as it just uses the flash lite. I can get farmville to load 100% although it takes a while but an error occurs so i cant play it on built in browser. On browsers like dolphin, farmville loading freezes at around 75%. I hope paul1989 can make flash work. I can installed flash but thats it nothing else uts just wasting space on my phone as ot doesnt work. If there was a way to delete flash lite then it may be easier to see if the flash works or not but for me none released so far work so i hope paul can get it running on all the websites it should do i wont be too bothered about lag as long as its not as laggy as puffin browser is with flash it makes youtube etc extremely laggy. The only game i consider playable on puffin is fifa superstars facebook game although it requires lots of zooming in and out to get the buttons of the game pressed but with native flash, there is fullscreen mode so i could use the fullscreen by double tapping/holding down to make fifa superstars more playable. Farmville on puffin browser is kind of playable but it gets annoying when it thinks i have pressed a different button and it only seems to load up the game early in the morning/ late at night. You are one of the best developers at xda paul and if you get flash working i will not be able to thank you enough. If you got it working with 100% no lag, i would pay for it but i dont think that would be possible.

Why one earth bring the word "pay for it" if you don't intend to in any case? Way to motivate someone. Just imagine yourself for a moment in Paul's shoes, and read that statement. It's DAMNING.

Is it possible? I heard someone was working on porting it to tegra, but that's when it first came out...
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
its ported to a few tegra2 devices, i played with the idea but didnt have time lately, would have to see if we could use the source code of the moto/cm7 kernel to start off or if it needs a newer kernel. it would however be great to have meego on it (just played with the n9 today and omg the interface is so smooth and lagless - havent seen a phone performing as good ever). you can check a bit here http://wiki.meego.com/ARM/TEGRA2
nvidia released some drivers for tegra2 and meego
hey samcripp i was talking to the meego/mer guys today and they said it shouldnt be too ahrd to port, but it would be nice to have a dualboot/or have the phone boot from external sdcard, at that point akizakian told me you told him its possible, would oyu mind sharing how? thanks man.
Why no dev doing this?
Why don't you do it yourself?
You make it sound as if being a developer is a job.
I'm getting an Atrix soon (despite being a Tmobile customer) And would love to know if there is any support for this? Also are there any ports of other OS's or no?
Very few would be capable of such feat...

Meego is a dead platform.

Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Well mer/plasma is its fully open source derivative. A guy has put it on tegra 2 tablets ages ago, tsdtest and I tried to get something to boot on the atrix but with no debugging possible on kernel level before boot we gave up...
yeah, we did a bit of experimenting a while back but never got it to boot. If anyone wants to give it a shot again please stop by the irc channel sometime (#moto-atrix on freenode) i'd love to give some help if i can, and i'm sure crnkoj would be happy to as well.
Also, the guys on #mer were helpful at the time.
The help of a kernel expert would also be very welcome.
As tsdtest said. I think the guy who ported it to the tabs has the nick vgrade1
Ye bouncing ideas on #moto-atrix is always welcome.

Hi guys
I bought a tv out cable over ebay recently tho it hasnt arrived yet.. i just wanna know if anyone has used a rom that they can confirm works with tv out. Cm7 would be preferred. Im aware there is a kang of cm7.2 with tv out working but the link and thread are dead so if anyone can post it, ill love you forever.
On a side note, does anyone know for a fact that my wiimote will not work with n64 on cm7 or the vibrant?
Thanks in advance guys

As long as you are using a non-Samsung ROM/kernel, the wiimote should pair just fine. You will have to download an IME app for it from the market though. I can't remember what the app was that I used. Search for wiimote and that should get you what you need.
I had it running back in the days when GB roms on the vibrant were being released here. Made playing Mario 64 a lot easier than with the on screen virtual buttons

Last I checked it lacks Hardware acceleration though so beware. If you are to try to play any video that is 480p or higher it probably won't play.
For example if you try to show the videos you just took with your phone in the big screen (like I had tried) it won't work, so you can say it's a bit crippled version of TV-out. If you want true TV-out you have to try Froyo derived roms ... sadly.

hi there
i am new and this is my first post but i have been reading threads on xda dev for a long time I have really learned a lot from u guys so thanks
soo , i have a question , is it possible to use older versions of applications and games when they already ask u to update to continue using the game like family farm currently is 1.9.4 , can i still use 1.9.3 or 1.9.2 ?? and sorry if i am posting in a wrong place cause i really dont know where i am lol
If they are not server/online-based, they could be cracked to run. But, I don't know Java, C, or any of them.

Not really. If it is freeware you could do it. But I would only do it if the software is open source.
