Android Rom

What is the possibility of running Android on this hardware?
I'm assuming the biggest problem would be the drivers correct?

I'd like to bump this up. I was wondering if anyone thinks it's even possible for Android to run on this phone at all.
Probably not, I do believe it uses a different processor than other Android phones, but I can hope.

Seriously? No responses on this huh?
If no one knows how to get it on this specific device, does anyone know how to get it on another device?

My guess is you won't see it, as Android seems to be for touchscreens only (just from what I've seen) and it seems like most people who've gone over to Android, come back to windows mobile anyway, so there isn't much desire to port perfectly good WinMo phones over to Android.

AT&T Quickfire run Android?

Hi all,
I understand this may be silly to even wonder.. but my wife has the AT&T Quickfire (ugh) and I recently got a Mytouch 3G and put the latest CyanogenMod on it. It's great!
I was curious if anyone knows a way to put Android on the Quickfire, or if it's even plausible. I know it's not a smart phone, but anything would be better than the junky OS that comes pre-installed.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Android on playbook, thoughts?

So i was given a playbook. Honestly i think its terrible. Not that the interface or os is bad. Its just lacking everything that i would use it for.
As anyone who has tinkered a bit with a playbook knows, its possible to run converted playbook aps and get the market working. With many restrictions
I assume based on the lack of information on this that no one has actually gotten any version of android running on it. I dont mean an emulator or app. What im curious about is completely removing the rim software and getting android on it.
Might be impossible i dont know.
Does anyone know of any projects that are trying to accomplish this, or is it technically/ theoretically possible?
Just curious
Thanks

I wondered the same thing after seeing this: http://mobile.slashdot.org/story/12/01/03/1323244/rims-playbook-on-clearance
First thing I did, after going to check out the Rim hardware specs and deal information, was come here to XDA to see if there was a Rim Playbook project or forum yet lol. Sure there will be soon with the hardware so much cheaper now.

android phone acts as a keyfob to unlock tablet?

Hey guys, so im an android lover and i now own an android phone and tablet.
I have an asus prime with samsung galaxy s 3
I would love to be able to completely integrate them both. I think it would be cool if my tablet recognized my phone in range and synced all files and they worked in conjunction with each other.
So far the best i can figure out how to do is use tablet talk to sync sms which is cool.
I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a way i can use my phone as like an electronic keyfob. As soon as my phone is within say 1m of my tablet i no longer have to enter a passcode?
Also when i say i would like to see the phone and tablet its hard to explain what exactly i would like to see but the best ive seen to describe what id love to see is what ubuntu are describing on their ubuntu.com/devices page
if anyone has any ideas on how i could set this up i would appreciate it.
Cheers

I'd be interested to know also

sell them both and get an ASUS Padfone or even better and ASUS Padfone 2.. job done!

You could make a small app that uses nfc to accomplish this most likely. You may even be able to do so using the app Taskr

omg i wish i had heard of these before buying my bloody tablet and phone now! cant believe ive never seen them before!
read an article that padfone 3 is planned for fall 2013. I think ill buy one then lol cheers

Just so you know; The Padfone, only becomes a Tablet, when the Phone is in the back of the device.
Once you remove the Phone, the Table part no longer functions... Its not 2 Separate Devices.
So if you want to look something up real quick on your "tablet" but you have the phone to your ear and in the middle of a call, you can't... unless you put the phone is the back compartment of the "big screen"..
