Is it possible? I have a Wanbo T6R Max projector and there are not many options for display and the built-in os is bad.
maybe, if someone hasn't allready done that you're in for a wild ride!
look up how to port android to closed source platforms with binary blobs; start with postmarketOS, they have most of the things you'd need to install an aftermarket OS

The Android OS runs on different CPU (architectures), but how is Android ported? Are the drivers of the devices inside the phone (like cam, phone-transmitter and accelerometer) part of Android, or developed by the phone manufacturer?
In other words: If the working of the hardware is not completely open, (which I think is the case) there must be some ‘pieces of OS’ being closed source. So how open is Android actually? Are there only some closed source drivers?
HI all,
I have a IFC6410 board and I'm planning to build a CM version for this board as it seems to be very well optimized. One reason is that the BSP by the manufacturer doesn't properly work, USB camera and audio stream don't work.
I don't know where to start and what to do, I've such builds on Linux for various open source softwares but android is a different level of complexity.
I'm done with setting up my Ubuntu for android build, not yet downloaded the CM source code. The board is Snapdragon 600 based so is there a possibility of using a CM build of some other S600 device on this board, or if not I'd be glad to know what is the process of customizing syanogenmod for my board.

hello comunity,
thank you for taken me into your community.
my question might is weird but i was always wondering why android ROMS are always just made for specific devices.
As known from the Personal Computers you just get an installation media like DVD or USB Drive packed with the OS and all the driver the computer might have. the installation routine just figures out the the device needs and installs acordingly.
why this is not possible for the ARM-devices to install android OS like this? or is there already projects who invented? i think almost everybody (especially those who owns a not anymore supported device by the manufacturer) would appreciate if he/she could upgrade by using an autonomous installer.
I am not a hardware architecture nerd thats why i would appreciate and kindly ask for an easy to understand explanation
hi
i like to know if there is a database for smartphone vs android OS or linux OS?
i have a phone, Brand X it comes with android version Y.
i'm interested to know questions like, i want to run an OS that is specifically tuned for an application, say I want sensors A, B and C, that i and don't care about the telephone, touch screen, volume, etc or a fancy GUI but want to use the graphics pipeline for calculations of the sensors with a minimal GUI so i can get as close to a real time response as possible.
is it better to tune the current android version Y?
or rollback android version to an early one as possible to remove bloat?
or nuke the android OS and install a flavor of Linux with a highly tuned kernel?
say i don't care about going back to original shipping android OS.
thanks
Hi, I'm new. I have a W10 tablet /w a atom processor. I was wondering if a novice could build a lineage os rom for x86 I was thinking the answer would be no, but looking around I couldn't find a clear answer. I'd also like some suggestions on a effective android operating system for my device preferably with some form of updates like security patches. Thanks.
