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!

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.

This is great news! Maybe we could finally see the os ported to Android after all. In the mean time a webOS developer has already installed it on his EVO 3D. I'd love to see this project take off in the Android community its a long time coming....

This is just what WebOS needed, its a great operating system just didn't have any good devices. Hope to see it on the mopho.

I'm glad it's open source, I own a touchpad and I've still yet to put Android on it. I love Android but I find WebOS to be a pretty great OS as well, the card multi-tasking is just unparalleled on any other OS.
I'm hoping we get to see custom WebOS roms for both WebOS devices and Android devices, how awesome would that be?
Don't see the point in using webOS now. It has very little app support (nothing near android) and as far as I know, everything WebOS can do, Android can do too.
Its an abandoned OS from a practically non-existent company (Palm, though HP is around, they aren't exactly bolstering it in the same that Apple does for iOS, Google does for Android and Microsoft for WP7).
I see this development as mainly a curiosity. I can see the touchpad crowd interested, but I'd much rather use Android on my Android devices (e.g. Photon).

you guys are missing the point, its a matter of because we can. why does anyone want cm7? this phone is plenty fast enough?.. why do people want miui? this phone is plenty pretty enough...
sides who knows perhaps one day there will be a merging of webos features with android features
imagine the good parts of webos being compiled into android. CM9 w/ card support. its like even wrapped in ice cream sandwhiches plated on webos cards!
If I can get my card multitasking back, I may just cry tears of joy.

WebOS card multitasking is better than any OS on the market (I've owned every mobile OS out there). Imagine the CM team or even Google taking bits and pieces from webos and cramming them in Android.

I don't own a photon," kennypowders" or else I'd make sure you'd be graced with my presence on a daily basis.
It is what they've done.
More polished, apps button allows you to select which app quicker and more like webos and also the ability to swipe away apps to close them via that same menu.
Also, the removal of hardware buttons.
I have ICS running on the EVO, and while multitasking is certainly improved and in some ways similar to WebOS, the multitasking in WebOS is still superior.
However, Android does other things better than WebOS, and WebOS does some things better than Android. I enjoy both.
A merging of certain feature sets due to the open-source code would be pretty great.

If you're wondering about ICS on the touchpad...look at dalingrin's twitter posts.
If you're looking for CM9, all i know is they've released a pre-alpha version of the launcher from CM9 for Devices with ICS....how far that puts them down the line to finishing it? I do not know but i'm waiting too (impatiently)
Here is the official source of CM news:

I would imagine any general news on CM9 will be all over once its out. I saw the news on the launcher in at least 3 different sites within hours of the announcement.

I like how that was worded, it is truly rough. Phone versions of android do work on tablets but its clearly wrong.

Agreed Leo and Scott are doing a great job at developing cm7/MIUI to work on a tablet as best it can.. But it is almost a lost cause since ics is already on a lot of devices....
I'm sure modifying a kanged ROM is a lot easier than making a port/SDK ROM as a lot of the drivers have to be made from scratch... I've given up on android on the TP till ICS. When that happens ill donate a handsome reward to the team that does it.. till then... WebOS will have to do... As I only use it for media/web I'm good for now... I have a EVO 3d for apps and such that android excels in...

I don't believe the TouchPad is a supported platform. Which is pretty amazing, if I am correct.

Has no effect on us because the TouchPad won't be supported because the drivers won't be released to open source

HP Touchpad, HP Pre, HP Veer... All the pre-existing devices are not supported. Short answer: meaningless. This is of no help on GB, ICS, JB platforms as well, even if the Touchpad was supported, it would not provided hardware drivers.
Hi gang.
Here is an idea brewing in my head. I know it will spin your head. I am embarking on a mission to bring AOSP to this forsaken land... Fair warning. As you see, there is no "recognized developer" tag underneath my name and for a good reason, I am not one! An average newb here as far as AOSP deving is concerned. I do know the very basics, I did build a couple AOSP builds for the Dinc2 and Transformer prime, but that was trivial as those devices were already supported. This device is not. So, I'll need to figure out how to first setup the environment for this and then learn to make a kernel from the source HTC has (if they released it that is).
So, anyone here who can point me to the right direction to kick this off!?
This thread is intended to be a platform for all those interested in helping bring AOSP to our device. Any and all helpful suggestions in this regard will be appreciated!
Hell yeah! I'm pretty sure if we all pull together we can get something cooking. I was wondering though obviously we aren't on jelly bean. Would it be easier to build an ics cm9 and then add select features like the lock screen, camera, animations etc?

Dunno. I was actually thinking if it is better to build Jellybean 4.1 rather than the latest and greatest 4.2.1. But if there aren't significant changes, may be we can pull off a 4.2 build. I just want to first learn to compile AOSP so that it even boots. I believe I need to mod files to build it for our environment... I wonder where I can learn this stuff..
Nits, Andy, help please!
My new laptop is running Windows 8 and I believe it will be a PITA to get Linux running natively on that due to the UEFI fiasco... I wonder if VM linux will be as fast as native... If not, I'll use my current machine to build and use the new one to due my regular stuff...

OMG! First build in progress. The damn thing is ACTUALLY building, I think! But still, if I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath. 99.9% sure the end result will most likely not boot!
EDIT: Of course, all that I said before is of any value only if this thing finishes compiling without errors. And I already had a few errors (which I was able to fix). God, I hope this thing compiles! :fingers-crossed:
