s it possible to install Android in a normal mobile phone?
I have Sony Ericsson Naite which has only key pad interface (No touch). I would like to install Android in my phone for experimenting with it. It will be great if its possible to dual boot Android with Symbian .
Do we need any other special hardware to install operating system in a mobile phone? Will Android work on a key-pad mobile?
Any pointer/suggestion is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I hate to say it, but there's no way of getting Android onto the SE Naite, as it's not a smart phone, as well as the fact that there is no way of customising the ROM, not to mention there is no non-touchscreen Android, unless you count the alpha builds.
As far as I know, the only SE phone that can do a dual boot is the Xperia X1, which can dual boot Android and Windows Mobile.
Sorry mate, you're out of luck there.

Hi all,
Sorry if this wrong ask since this forum is dedicate to HTC Device
Does anyone know if its possible to install an Android rom on the MotoSurf A3100?
Dualbot with WM it will be great.
Thanks a lot.
No, I do not believe there is any effort to port the Android operating system to the Motosurf A3100, or any other device in that product line. Because Android (and the Linux kernel it runs on) require decent hardware support for the system they are running on, none of the Android packages posted on this forum will work on your device either.
Hi,
A couple of queries. I read in the forums that I could install Android on Windows Mobile. My make is similar to HKC G1000 / TechFaith Cynthia 850 - a Dual Sim Windows Mobile.
I read about the dual boot software Gen.Y DualBOOT - here thread ID - 623792
But I am not able to understand how to get an Android build for my mobile and how to install it on my Windows Mobile.
Any direction in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Secondly if any one is familiar with a good ROM build for Windows Mobile 6 or Windows Mobile 6.5 for the said model.
Thank you very much for the time and help.
I researched further into Android on Windows Mobile and see that there is Wing Linux for OMAP 850 (the same chipset that runs this mobile)
Are there any Android builds readily available for this mobile?
I tried installing Wing Linux via Micro SD Card, and half way through the screen hangs up and nothing happens
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi all
I have a Superpad - i like android on it but i feel it is missing the windows elements that something with a 10 inch screen and all the functions that are available on it can be used for -
So what im asking is it possible to change from a Andriod rom to windows rom with out killing it and if so is there any guides and links to rooms which would work with it.
IF possible dual bot rom would be great - i dont mind what version of Windows it is but upto date version on andriod on a dual boot would be nice
Any help on this will be appreciated
Hello Guys, I am new to this FORUM and I sure like the posts and answers.
Well over the years I have been using one nokia phone or the other and this time I own a C6 and I am tired of the SYMBIAN Series, No Flexibility of customizing the home screens and the sluggish menus etc, etc. Can some help or find me a way to boot Android on my phone. I know there is a way to boot Android in Windows Mobile using Emulator BUT how about Symbian?
Buy Android phone, that is a really simple solution to your question.
btw can you share how to emulate android on windows mobile as you have quoted in your note.
I know there is news about Nokia N900 (Maemo) being run on Andriod. You may google to find this and may look for some help there.

I am not sure how to do it as I don't have a windows mobile phone but I am sure I have seen some posts.
here are some links.. hope u can find your way through. there is a program named haret which helps you to boot to Android. Just install Android in SD Card and then run Haret is what they say. But most of them have done it only on HTC Phones.. Good Luck!

Most of them have only done it on HTC phones because only two HTC phones - HD2 and Vogue have been the most stable and successful running android either on the SD card or NAND. A few other phones in the "Legacy" device family are able to run it but only on the SD and not NAND memory as stable as the two listed.

Hi All,
I have a Symbol/Motorola MC7090 it's currently running Windows Mobile 5.0 with messaging and security feature pack.
I cannot connect via Wifi and I cannot get the barcode scanner to work.
It was used by a developer to test there apps, I was told that it was reset back to factory specs.
Has anyone got a ROM so that I can put Android on this??
Best Regards

I hate to revive this post, but I have the same sort of question. Please let me know if I need to start a new thread. In my case, I have two ROMs from "Zebra" (who seems to have taken over this part of that company). Mine is also the MC40, but the question I have is what do I need to do to essentially convert this from a Windows 7 CE device, to an Android device. I have the drivers for both the Win version and the Android version. I also have 3 of the Android devices and 2 of the Win devices. The model numbers are exactly the same, only the OS is different. Im doing this for the company I work for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
