Android on Nokia N800 Internet Tablet
I've been trying to install Android OS on my useless N800. I've tried http://guug.org/nit/nitdroid/, which is pretty old version (1.6). Unfortunately none of soft keyboards are working on my device. Later I found http://downloads.nitdroid.com/ and http://forum.nitdroid.com/. But http://nitdroid.com/is non-functional currently. Their target device is N900, which is not an Internet Tablet, but a phone.
I found site http://cjix.info. Cjix tries to port Android Gingerbread to the N810. I will try to follow his work and compile Android kernel and user-space softwares.
The following steps are needed to set up development environment for Andoid porting. I use Arch Linux and I installed arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc from AUR. I created ~/nokia_n800 directory, then I checked out the Linux v2.6.38 OMAP kernel:
Get 'repo' script and the Gingerbread sources:
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
repo init -u git://git.omapzoom.org/platform/omapmanifest.git -b gingerbread
