Android on Non-HTC Devices?

Before anyone comments, Yes. I *know* this forum is primarily for HTC devices.
Anyway, does anyone know if there are any projects going for getting Android running on Non-HTC devices? Specifically, Acer or Eten devices? I've got a bunch of devices here (see my sig), that I'd LOVE to get it running on, but don't have a clue where to start, nor the skills necessary to write drivers for them...
Motorola and Samsung are the manufaturers that spring to mind. There's the Samsung Galaxy and Motorola have just made an announcement which Orange will be carrying sometime in October.

Yeah, I know that; but what I was asking was if anyone knows of any projects to get Android ported to existing non-HTC devices, such as the projects for the HTC Vogue and Kaiser...
Sure, i780 and omnia can run android. No audio and microphone yet.. but you can send sms, navigate into menu, use wifi, install apps etc

Some folks over at modaco.com are porting android for the Samsung Omnia. I think they also have a thread in the dev/hacking section.

Camera Software

Hi. I bought an unbranded phone running on WM 6.0. I have been searching for an alternate camera software. I found coolcamera but unfortunately it does not work. Do you know of any other software I might use because the default one it has in it is not so good and it does not let you use the camera in full screen.
Thanks

You could look into this althoug I'm not sure how much it will help. What phone is it?
Hi. The mobile is an Iphone clone called Miphone or M88. I found many threads like the one you posted but they are only people wanting to build an application. The only application I found is CoolCamera but unfortunately it does not work on my mobile.
any other suggestions are welcome please...

Firstly, this is an HTC forum for HTC phones only, so seekoing help here will get you limited answers. That being said, is it running an iPhone OS from Apple ? ( which I doubt because Apple hasn't sued them yet ) or is it an iPhone clone running Windows Mobile or a custom OS ?

It's some Iclone running WM6
OP i'd give up trying, software is not going to make hardware better
clearly you have no idea what i'm talking about. Some developers you are... thanks the same...

Porting for Lenovo LePhone: WE WILL PAY!

Nowadays many user are complaining about LePhone, and mainly about its ROM. First, users dislike Lenovo's custom-made OS. Second, it rarely updates. Its latest version is still Android 2.2.1 but the latest version of Android is already 2.3.5! So we came up with the idea: Hire some guys that are very good at porting systems to port CM to LePhone!
Although Lenovo haven't opened the source code, but I think there's still a another way because a guy called "zbwu" ported an Android 2.3.2 to LePhone on January 2011.But unfortunately he sold his LePhone later and bought a DHD instead.
So we are really thirsty looking for someone to port CM to LePhone! The total pay is 10000RMB (About 1567USD)(Maybe more, maybe less).
If you are interseted in this, please send a message to me!
And finally, thank you! Please forward this to other forums if you can, and we would be very thankful for that!
Please make CM for LePhone!!!

He should sell it and buy an android.
At the moment it is not possible and don't think it will be in the near future, Windows Phones have the bootloaders locked down and it is very difficult to unlock them to even accept custom WP Roms, Normally involves hours of developers time to try and create HSPL in order to accept any kind of modification, And this will normally only occur if there is enough interest in a particular handset and a bounty is set for the devs.
Android handsets nowadays have dual core and even quad cores and you would be better off purchasing one of those as in the post stated above.
i think your friend is mad!
1) why he choses a win phone if he needs android
2) it's impossible porting android on nokia 820 or other win phone because le OS are made for different hardware.
i can't believe in this question.....

As far as I read Sony Xperia V will be running Android on Intel Atom. But this will be launched in 2013.
And as far as I read you have to pay MS Money for getting WinOS 8 Devices in Developer Mode.
So why won't he sell it? And if its a company device he shouldn't break it

Actually this is very good question, I respect and admit that this can be done but of course if huge number of people request. It just like apple when now OS6 cannot be jailbreak, but it will be. I think that the initial request is to hope that somebody work on this, ho about if there is sponsor??? anybody:victory:
Agreed

I agreed with you. Why people not open mind to receive and try out of the box. It is benefit to you all if someone can do it, you can use dual OS for difference purpose. You can do what Android can also you can do what WP8 can. I think it is great only waiting for someone make it happen Cheer!
Still is a good idea
I would be happy if i could have a dual boot device ( WIN8 + Kitkat ) Thats why i think many users ask for this.
Keep hoping...
