I believe this has already been posted here and moved to another section.
Ill say what i said there quickly.
Its not worth porting. Its great to see a new exploit about now, but there is already a totally brilliant method to getting identical results on android. No doubt someone will port it though (some people like a challenge;D).

Moved to general as not development. Other threads on this matter exist already. Please take a look in them.

[Q] Android on HP 91x?

Hello Guys!
Do you think it's possible to realize an Android porting on our HP 91x?
I will really love it! There are some Android based device with front built-in keyboard such as Acer e130 and Motorola Charm.
Anyone knows something about it?

So guys no one is interested in it?

Porting Android to WinMo device is not as easy as you might think.
Process is long and time-consuming and most likely there will be NO Android for 900 series iPAQs.

Ubuntu on HTC Advantage x7500

Hi everyone
Has anyone successfully got Ubuntu running on HTC Advantage x7500?
Matthew
PS - Anyone managed to get Android running too? I'm happy to have either running on my device!

No, unfortunately no one ever finished developing a working android/linux port. They got as far as getting android to boot, and get the touch screen somewhat functional I think, but never got any further, so it's pretty much unuasable.
It's a shame, too. This would be a great device to run Ubuntu or Android off of... this device was way ahead of it's time. It wasn't too popular when it first came out because many people saw it as too big, but if it was released nowadays with the same design, but more current processor, etc and running android, I'm sure it would be very popular. A tablet/phone with attachable keyboard... it was an awesome concept.
If we could get the Athena into the hands of some of the developers that are porting linux to the HD2, Rhodium, Kaiser, etc, I'm sure they could get a good port going on it after some work... but I don't think any of the devs capable of porting it own the athena, or are interested in putting in all the time.
A good linux kernel and android port would give this device a second life... make people interested in it again... but I'm losing hope in it happening. In fact, I've come into hard financial times recently, so I'm trying to sell my X7501. I really hate doing it, but I just don't use it anymore and can't find a reason to keep it other than I think it's a really cool, unique device. So if anyone's interested in a X7501 in almost perfect condition, with a bunch of accessories, send me a pm. I'll probably throw it on ebay if I don't find anyone here at xda within the next few days.

Thanks for the update
Think I'll keep my x7500 for a bit to play on it, maybe get it to run WM6.5 (its 5 at the mo) then pass it on!
Do fancy a UMPC with Linux on though!

[Q] Android ROM for LG Quantum?

Hi guys,
I just wonder if an Android ROM for LG Quantum will be available soon? The phone comes with Windows Phone 7 and I just can't live with it.
Thank you.

I have not seen or heard of one. I personally do not think it will happen as the lg quantum is not one of the more popular wp7 models. Also there is the fact that you can pretty much buy a phone with android on it with just about any hardware config already.

Miss the good 'ol WM days....

There having trouble porting it to the iphone 4. I wonder how hard it would be to get it on this hardware.

not sure if anyone's even tried, or if anyone that's capable even has a quantum. I sure am though and would be willing to help!
Edit: Well from what i understand WM won't be running on the quantum as the drivers for the compatible hardware aren't cross compatible between wp7 and wm6.5. however i've heard mention of people attempting to run 6.5 executables and such (un-sandboxed apps), if that's possible maybe we can boot using haret or something similar. then again though they would have to take a special interest in getting android running on the device, and it doesnt seem like many have much interest in it....
first step is someone running unsigned apps on the device using some hack or possibly something enabling it in the mango update

hey guys! hope u'd be doing great
im a new bee over here and was about to post a new thread with same discussion this thread having,so i feel better to post here than to create a new thread.
anyway, i have also purchased LG Quantum (c900B) and i am feeling very very restricted like im bound with it, @
i was wondering windows phones can have andriod installed on devices, and i was looking for andriod ROM for this stupid phone
any help ?
or shud i buy another phone :'( ?
please suggest..

Also waiting for Quantum Android
I am eagerly waiting for the LG quantum android ROM as early as possible.

It's doubtful that android will ever be brought over to the LG quantum. It is a low activity device and so far no one has gotten android on a WP7. By the time they get it all figured out or anyone cares enough, the quantum will be old news.
To make this short. Want android? Buy an android phone because you'll be waiting a long time if not forever.

Well,
hardware is VERY capable of Android (same as a Sony Xperia Mini Pro or so...) but the bootloader will never allow you to run Android.
Would be like use diesel gasoline on a standard car...

[Q] Android Wear on smartphone?

Hi
I have a weird question...
Is it possible to port (?) an Android Wear ROM to android smartphone? I mean, I have an old X8 which is nothing but catching dust on the shelf. I thought about I can use it as a smartwatch (it is small enough ). But as it is on normal cyanogenmod, it cannot be like watch. So as I wrote above, is it possible to flash such a rom on normal android smartphone?
Sorry for asking stupid questions and thanks for any replies

Excellent idea.
+1

Bump
Any answers? Please

I'm sure it's possible because Android Wear is still Android at the core, would probably require a lot of work, rewriting the kernel, getting drivers to work, etc. and AFAIK there is no source code for the OS, only the kernel, so that would make it even more challenging.

Now that is the info I wanted
Thanks @DarkRazorZ

Theoretically, couldn't you use the Wear launcher with an app that intercepts your phone's notifications?

Theoretically yes, but in practice it is not as good as whole rom. I used that launcher when it was as preview and it wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. I just wanted to know if porting (or building?) similar rom for very small phones is possible

I think everything is possible, but keep the original ROM
