Android and powerPC g4 - General Questions and Answers

Hello all,
I have recently upgraded my at home MAC lab and need to repurpose my 1 GHz powerPC G4.

thanks in advance for all you do

Hi, has anyone been able to successfully get Android to boot / install onto imac G4 PPC ?
The above mentioned link is done be LimePC, specifically for their PPC hardware. Has anyone ported their's to Mac?
I am not too savvy, and don't have time on my side either, so if anyone has an iso available, that I could boot from and install? Would be what I would really be looking for.
Thanks.

Just for the records, the only powerpc port attempt that was ever open and still has sources available is: https://github.com/PPCDroid

[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.

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.

Symbol MC7090 Need Android ROM

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.

You guys do know that Windows requires an x86 CPU right? There are also firmware needs. Most Atom devices can not run Windows because of no firmware support.
I think best way to have Android and Winders on the same device is buy a Windows device and run Bluestacks or Andy or another Android emulation solution.
IF you can find it, there are some builds of x86 BOCHS / etc in apk format that will virtualize an x86 pc on android, but the last device I tried that on was my HTC One M7 and it took about ... 45 minutes minimum to boot up windows

Android is built to work with the specific hardware it's installed on. You can't just install it on whatever you want.
You probably have to develop the android operating system for it yourself, and that is only IF it can be done at all. If there is no kind of android source code for the device then you'll have to be a very skilled developer to make this happen.
I would find something else to play with if I were you.

Ah ok,
I thought it was a simple thing like installing Windows on a PC from an iso.
I'm not developer at all and wouldn't even know what to do.
I guess I'll have to give up this idea as ive looked into this website but found nothing.
