Android OS (NITdroid) running on a Nokia N800 Internet Tablet

[OldTimeyJunk]

It's only 1.6 and hasn't been updated rending the project dead. They should carry on work with the n900 port and forget about the n800 because there isn't enough RAM. I really wish it did work as I'm getting an n800. I'll have to settle with Angstrom.

[sandchris]

can the webcam still be used?

[sirdonkeypunch]

i read that sound wasnt working as of maybe 2009, did this get fixed, cant find any articles about it

[prathameshvaidya]

hey der was one software, dnt remember exact name, sum M1 or sumthing like tat, is it the same?

[dava4321]

calling all developers to help with JETDROID

THE DARKFOREST GROUP

[typeNtardis]

Some updates. Touchscreen keyboard still crashes badly. OS runs much faster nowadays. There is a 3rd party app for a keyboard replacement that's still viable.  No bluetooth meaning no BT keyboard. Battery charging works fine in NitDroid now, no need to reinstall to charge. Hard to call it useful but it's definitely coming along.

[LordOrwell2]

Have you considered making a multi-boot? Also have you tried any more recent releases to see if it fixes the charging or compatibility?

[misterfml]

And here I was hoping it would be a viable replacement for maemo. Oh well. WAY too slow. Is it just the limited hardware, or does it need to be optimized to use the gfx hardware better?

[chrismcvay19]

do you or anyone here know how or if you can run the droid os on other mobile phones like a iphone or windows phone or any thing at all...thanks

[kotapaka]

why would you buy the technologically outdated iPhone which is overpriced if it's not for the OS?

[LMBNair]

Seems quite slow

[chachachazippo2]

Is there anyway to install this with a pc running windows?

[djlwq]

Ehm - use google ? :-D

[qn5r]

Are you trying to be funny?

[virion]

There are a few VMs that support Android. Someone released one recently, if you look you can find it.

[Andrewterrorist]

This really isn't a full OS to install on a PC, keep that in mind. This is meant to try out before buying a PHONE with Android on it, notice the home screen with dial and contacts on it. Its a very minimal OS, but again its to see how Android is on a phone.

[setheroon1]

yes... message me and ill help you out with it my friend....

[MJGrindboy]

@chachachazippo2 Do a Google search for "Android x86" and Bob's your uncle!

[kotapaka]

Why would you do that? N800 is already running Linux. Totally useless.

[almostsk81]

hey, can u get Android on the N810?

and whats G1 again?

[bradless04]

G1 is a phone by T-mobile

[madesina]

Can anyone download the Android UI/system? Can Android/Nitroid be downloaded onto the HTC Touch HD for example??....

[omarbadr36]

Blah slow and choppy

[atlaschooty]

very awesome...

[iG0Tit]

bullshit. its just like the G1!

[LatinZero0]

no shit pal. its supposed to be android which is exactly what the g1 runs on. its open source so expect to see alot of things lookin like the g1

[stephenpallotta]

What is that phone your using its mad cool!

[illufe]

It is not a phone. It is Nokia N800 - an Internet Tablet.

[robertg5a]

...y not just get g1

[TheDarkNinjato]

Because we don't want to.

Simple enough.

[xplay321]

Because if you have a phone, and you have this internet tablet, you can get android on it for free.

[illufe]

Basically, it means if you install Android on a Nokia N800, it will not recharged. You need to reinstall the original OS and get it charged. Then you can reinstall Android until the battery dies or before the battery dies?

[mobileburn]

That is Ricky's theory at the moment, yes.

[illufe]

Will this problem be fixed?

[mobileburn]

I'm sure it will. This is very much a work in progress. There aer a lot of things that don't work, like sound, for instance.

[illufe]

I see that N800 running Android OS is not very smooth. I am just wondering if in the future, it still be the same. I have a N810, so that's why I am concerned.

[illufe]

Does it work on N810?

[mobileburn]

Yes, with keyboard support.

[therevivedone]

Really cool, I would love to see a video on how to do this.

[UltimatePhoneReviews]

Nice video Michael 5 stars.
