Hi,
I am a user of the joggler.info community. We are trying to create a working build of Android 2.2 using the android-x86 source and the vilivs5 modifications.
Until now what has been achieved is the following:
basic graphic support (the image is 8bit color) most of the time the interface is fluid during the transitions not. Many games doesn't work, I tyhink because of the lack of opengl es.
wireless support
ethernet works
touchscreen works
audio works
We would like help overall for the graphic/display driver. The user who is working on this has also tried to apply the 32bpp patch but the result is a yellowish image.
If anyone knows how to make any changes or improvements post it here.
Thanks!!!
+1 for this please
I'd love to see this developed too.
in the meantime we have an almost full working image of Android 2.2. You can download it here: http://www.multiupload.com/FSK4RWEYTR
You can follow the development here: http://joggler.info/forum/index.php (software -> mobile os section, android 2.2 thread)
bump....

Damn what happen, you just forgot about this section or was it a completely fail project??? if i am lucky i might try a jellybean when i get mine, just need some foundation help
A new OS so why not some new tech to go with it.
I had a working AR program on my old WinMo 6.5.3 device but it was slow, clunky and inaccurate.
Android and iOS both have AR apps that work great.
Anyone else what an AR app similar to 'layr' from Android or even Google goggles (which i think has a type of AR search feature that scans an image provided by the camera)
I hope this comes soon, it would be amazing.
Hiya,
I'm going to be developing an AR app for WP7 later this year for the second half of my dissertation at uni. Still trying to come up with a useful purpose for the app that doesn't fall into the navigation category though.

Thanks to the Moonlight crew, Android devices will soon be able to run Silverlight!
Silverlight is a must-have for some users for websites such as Netflix and Sky Go (formally known as Sky Player)!
Here is a video from a few months back, demonstrating their progress so far:
http://mobiputing.com/2011/04/moonlight-silverlight-for-linux-coming-to-android/
Anyone hear any more on this? I've been searching my ass off and so far what I'm seeing is that there is a way to develop with silverlight for android (with mono for android) however, there doesn't seem to be any way to take a silverlight application and convert/wrap it to an android compatible format (nor is there a silverlight plugin of any sort that is compatible with android). I also read that Koush at one point was playing with moonlight/mono to get it working for android, but that was very long ago. The most "recent" news on it that I found was from April of this month. I also read a comment that the mono developers were laid off, could this be why there hasn't been anything since April?
I too am waiting for Silverlight to be devekoped for my new tablet - Packard Bell Liberty. It won't play live TV or stream video content, which is what it was designed for. It works on the Android 3.1 platform. I've messaged Microsoft and am still awaiting a reply.

+1 on that, waiting for Sky GO myself, sky have said "winter" for their app, hopefully moonlight can beat it.
It wont work for the sky go website as obviously sky uses the DRM part of silverlight and MS won't allow the moonlight team to see that part of silverlight.
looks like silverlight haves no room in microsofts future strategy:

Where is the Nexus' beta version?
So much for vaporware
With adobe declining to support further flash development, its a great time for msft to gain traction in Android scene
I haven't had a chance to look around for any recent sources about silverlight on android, is it still in progress or has it been put aside because there's a probability that many will start using HTML5 instead, since media capabilities at least are available there?
On a sidenote I must confess silverlight is a bit new to me since I've only just recently started a new job where I'm familiarizing myself with MS VS, .Net and silverlight, so you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge.
if Microsoft was smart, this would be an incredible move for them. With the death of flash on Android, Microsoft can start to dominate that market and then that might encourage a lot more devs to start programming in silverlite.

Moonlight for Linux is a joke. Just go to your Xbox Live account online and try to view many of the Silverlight embodiments to see. Silverlight as evidenced by it's heavy use on Xbox Live is not going anywhere. Moonlight's android developments is the same basic code as for Linux. Moonlight for Android/Linux will always be a half baked solution.
What does mean ... "Half baked solution"?

Something that is "half baked" is very poorly designed or executed.
I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 WiFi GT-N8013. I would like to be able to watch live television coverage from CNN. Presently, they (CNN and Google) say that their app does not work on this device and they will not advise when, or if, this problem will be resolved.
Looking for an alternative solution, I turned to some apps that still run Flash Player, such as the UC Browser. I thought that I was getting close to getting the CNN website to load within UCB (as it was mimicking a desktop version), until it requested that I install MS Silverlight. Well, so much for that.
It seems that there is no equivalent to running Silverlight on the Android platform. Apparently, some time ago, there was a Moonlight project, but that appears to have come to a permanent halt based upon what I believe to be threats of litigation from M$.
So my question is whether this project may have come back to life in a different format? I can't imagine that I am the only GT-N8013 that has an interest in using the device from time to time to watch current events on CNN (or other live media cable networks). It seems to work fine on My Droid Razr Maxx XT-912, however I assume that it works there because of also being on the LTE network.
Does anyone know what the future holds for getting Silverlight working on Android?

Silverlight is a dead platform for most practical purposes. Even netflix is working to switch from it. I dont think that anyone would bother to build an Android port for it.
It's closed source from Microsoft and mono can give you a try the .net framework but not silvernight.

Like a workaround - you can use RDP or VNC and use a "normal" computer for opening silverlight pages...
it's a year later, and Microsoft is still reluctant to give an honest answer. However, if you go to their developer web site msdn.com and click on "I build Android apps", they take you to a page that tells you why and how to port your app to Windows 8. "Windows 8 is the fastest-growing mobile OS. Your app belongs here".
In other words, Microsoft considers *Android* to be a dead platform. Silverlight is closed source, so only Microsoft can port it. I think it's safe to say the chances of them changing their minds and porting Silverlight to Android after all, when they're taking such a bath on all Windows 8 platforms, is .... zero.
Is anybody still using Silverlight for web apps in 2013? Maybe this thread is moot.

I, too, am nneding Silverlight for my tablet. I am in a RN program that makes us test/quiz on a program called ATI that requires Silverlight to be able to answer and read test questions. I wish I had an answer for this. I know that if someone did figure this out that a great bounty would come from it. I would definitely donate.

acebeace had the best advice. Assuming you have access to a Windows PC, you can run the Silverlight app on the PC but use your tablet as a remote control: go to Google Play and search for "remote desktop". Note that there may be additional challenges if the PC and tablet aren't on the same local network; there are paid apps that handle this better. It's clear that Google is working towards their own version: see Chrome Remote Desktop.
If you don't have access to a Windows desktop, you might be able to find an online browser that supports Silverlight.
Finally, I've never tried this, but Onlive Desktop claims to have an Android app that connects to a virtual PC desktop in the cloud. Their browser was supposed to support Silverlight, but it's not clear if it actually does. Fortunately, there's a free trial.

Re-compiling Pipelight
Hi,
I have just been reading about a open-source project called pipelight and just thought that this could be re-compiled and used with ARM based devices (such as tablets).
If this is posible then you could have silverlight on tablets, alternatively re-compile moonlight (only problem with moonlight is that there is no DRM support).

Dear Medworthy
That gives us hope.
If you now more of this solution let us now.

Pipelight uses Wine to run Silverlight on Linux based OSes. While there is some work being done to run Wine on Android, the binaries for Silverlight would still need to be rewritten for ARM. These aren't open source, I think it's way too simplistic to think those could be just "compiled" for ARM.
Unfortunately, I think we'll just have to wait until HTML5 completely supports DRM and the content providers make that switch. It's very irritating to see how they've chosen such a biased and proprietary system at the moment.

This has now become a mute subject for me. I have given up on the CNN app in favor of Xfinity's app which works great. Not only can I watch CNN, I can now watch pretty much anything that I get on my TV.

Hi guys just sharing an opinion piece I wrote about the future of Android.
My current theory is that eventually Android could be replaced by Chrome OS, or merged and it could happen as soon as the next major update (5.0)
My article is here and I just wanted to get some input from you guys: my fellow Android Enthusiasts,

Nice piece... And that first picture inspires me to make a Chrome Launcher/Chrome OS Theme.
Also, I think android should just natively support web apps that use HTML5 or Unity or whatever the Chrome Browser supports naively as if they were android apps except the big upgrade/catch is that it runs it natively like an app without an internet connection. So maybe android will just become the chrome browser but also runs android apps (which Google will call something else so that they aren't hanging on to the android name anymore and people will no longer call it android).
I also don't understand anything HTML or Java so maybe impossible

Android MAY be MERGED with Chrome OS... but it will NEVER be REPLACED by it.
Chrome OS is based on the cloud, and our phones not allways have an internet connection.
Nope it will not be Chrome OS. Things will get merged eventually but Android will remain:good:
