Android-x86 is a project to get android up and running on x86 architecture. It is currently ran by just two people, and 1.6 is more or less completely functional on Eeepc and Dell Mini's.
However, progress has slowed, and the developers are beginning to lose interest due to the current community following. A large amount of the followers of the project demand things, and give little back, often getting angry if they are not instantly provided what they want. This is a scourge of most opensource or hack projects, but especially so here, as the project has had little interest from other devs, leaving them on their own.
Whilst I do not have the ability to give a whole lot of help myself (yet), I desperately think this project should succeed, and am asking any able developers with free time who are up for seeing Android up on a new platform to give it a go.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for any support you are able to give these guys.

I’ve been working on getting my source trees on Github in shape so that anyone can build a basic CyanogenMod system. Some small parts still need added but things are looking good there.
I’m also continuing to examine the backup/restore option for the proprietary bits necessary to operate your device, so I can simply ship open-source code only. I believe this is well within the license and the spirit of the ADP1 and ION devices.
A lot of people are helping to work many of these issues out, notably the guys from Google (Dan and JBQ) who manage the open-source project. Some great discussion and initiatives are happening like the Open Android Alliance and the Replicant projects. As much as it sucks to be sort of the “fall guy” for this, I can take it. Let’s fix the problems and move on.
Expect more from me by the weekend!

Hi Everybody.
I saw some videos with storyboard in iOS development. I take interest into this project. I'm going to design and try to implement a such similar thing as long term just for fun project. Not sure yet, but I hope it will be alive and I will still want to do it. I understand this project is not small so I am looking for co-developers to work on it together. I am experienced Android developer and have experience developing desktop apps. Honestly I am familiar with OSX development, but I think I have very poor experience with it. I am looking forward and develop prototype native application for OSX and later, may be, for Windows.
Just as note, I want it to be as big live parser and designer, so it will use real source code of android project and does not require any additional libraries or frameworks to be integrated into Android project.
If you are not familiar with storyboard in iOS, please just look at screenshot and you will understand why android designer sucks.
Thank you and let me know if you are interested in this.
p.s. I hope I've chosen right thread to post a such topic.

im kind of noobish at building apps, i have build 2 but im willing to learn more and contribute
count me in if you like!
I'm looking for developers willing and able to help with a project.
I'll start by saying, this is a Atheist oriented project focused on atheist related issues. You don't need to be atheist to help, but at least opened minded to others beliefs, or lack there of.
I'm heading this project for the time being. Its my idea, but its beyond my depth. I don't have the skill set to pull this off on my own. I'll take a step back and allow someone who's capable of heading this, once I find one. I can help in other areas, mostly design.
I have two other developers on board already. Capable of developing Android and WP apps. I have done some Android developing on my own, but I'm a amateur at coding.
We'll be building a website, paired with some mobile apps. Focused on help and information forums, local community forums, Atheist related news articles, Articles on atheism, etc without getting into it to deeply on what we're trying to do. Its open for discussion.
If interested on helping, IM me. We could talk further on what we're trying to achieve, and I can direct you to the facebook group.
