[Q] Android on Windows Mobile - how can I do that? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

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

Dual boot Windows Mobile and Android on Kaiser/TyTN II?

Is it possible to dual boot Windows Mobile and Android if I installed two ROM's on my Kaiser/TyTN II? Like we do with OS on PC's ?
In other words you want a GRUB or something like that to where you can choose to boot WM or Android correct? And no you can't flash two ROMs
No, you have to boot WM, then boot Android from that.
Please use one of the two Kaiser android discussion threads in future.

Android installation in a mobile

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.

[Q] Question regarding OS.

Hi everybody,
I am new to this forum. I have an HTC p3400i. An old model. But I dont know about its OS and details. It shows windows mobile 95 when I connect it with my PC. And when I start the mobile display shows ONBL 1.17.0000, SPL 1.17.0000, GSM 2.79.0000 and OS 1.17.0.0. I want to know what are these specifications? what is the OS. and other details of it. And whether the OS can be upgraded and how? And what other upgradations can be done? When I start windows update it shows failure. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Installing Android on Nokia C6

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.

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.
