Android on RaspBerry PI? - Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, im one of the lucky few that will be getting my PI in about 3 to 5 weeks. I want to know if anyone is going to port Android to it? Something similar to those Android Media centers you get.

I also really like the raspberry. We hope you can use as mediacenter or for use as a home surveillance at home

Just got my RP, 2 of them, one for my father-in-law, let the Android OS port begin !!!
BTW I did two separate orders over two months ago... what a pain to get these....

Awesome! Subscribed with interest.
What are you going to use as your starting point?

Well i guess not getting the raspberry PI was good for me. Just got into the pre order of APC (A new mini pc from VIA). The thing runs Android 4.0 ICS! Can't wait

what a good news
if you need any betatesters, i gladly apply for this
which version do you plan to port? froyo, ginger or the icy?

I just got a rasberry pi aswell. i dont see a specific forum for it right?

I have my Pi for a few days now. I'm very interested to see this running android, not that I've any skills that would allow me to help port it but willing to do any testing etc..

Doubtful as it is only an ARMv6 chipset. Or more to the point a waste of time. Should have got a CottonCandy.

I've seen gingerbread run on lower spec'd armv6 phones, even cm9, though it's a stretch. I don't see why it wouldn't run on an rpi.
I just got mine a couple days ago and I fully intend to port android to it. If there are a few interested people, which there seem to be, we should get a forum specifically for rpi/android development (Though I have no idea how I'd go about that).

The Raspi is very tight on ram and processor power. So I'm not so sure if Android is a good choice for it, especially if you want some media center kind of application.
I think compiling the code natively is the better choice. There seems to be some development with XBMC going on - I think that will work out better.
Well - I'll see it tomorrow, because then I'll get mine

I would think at the very least 2.1 should be doable, but I would only install it to play around to be honest. I will probably run raspbmc on mine when I get it (also tomorrow ); I would however, really like to have android on it just so I can have access to hulu plus/netflix content easily.

Doubtful was the wrong word, sorry. Pointless would have been more appropriate. Yes it can but with the limits of the Pi why would you. Wait for the native XBMC port to happen if you want any sort of fun with it.

Well, i own a X10 Mini Pro that has an ARM v6 CPU and 256MB of RAM. Guess what: it's running CM9 fluently...

Just got my Raspberry Pi.
I too don't why why it wouldn't run android well, my ZTE Blade with 600mhz armv6 processor runs ICS faster than gingerbread ran on it... at the moment of writing it's even more fluid in the menus/notification drop down than my HTC Sensation...
I lack the skills to do anything about it myself but I'd be happy to test/ report bugs if someone starts a port!

The HTC Legend has simular specs to the iPhone and you cant put the compare the Nokia 3310 in any way to the HTC Legend. As s7yler pointed out it the iPhone has been ported to Android. Im sorry if i took 2 minutes of your time but i was just curious if it would work, or if we could see it in the future! Hell i haven't even rooted my Legend yet! So thanks for your reaction, as i said i was just curious.

true even android can be run on some of the WM devices, because of the boot process, and phone spec. But iOS has completely different boot system/process though its not possible to run it on other devices (for now) , besides have you seen iOS run on any other devices then Apple's ? don't thinks so mate..
Also one big thing to remember...
The only reson android runs on ipod/iphone is because android is open source... and that is more easy to handle and port (Not that i am saying it was easy for them to port Android to the i devices as apple hardware is also keep as close source) then a closed source system as iOS....
It will be the same as porting Windows 7 to ARM or PowerPC cpu.... not something you can do without having access to the source code of windows...

to be nice i wont say how many ways that statement is wrong...
but most of osx IS open source... NONE of iOS is open source...
And the only reson it is possibel to run osx on a pc is because the basic part of osx is open source and that is the kernel so it can be modded and rebuild to work on diffrent cpu's....
I know there are bin patched versions of the mach_kernel but they are never as good as the one that they make when apple release the source and that normal happens 14 days after the os update...
(to end this with a statement why i can say all this i can tell you i have been a active osx86 user the last 5 years, been really involved in the help channels and know a lot of the devs)

There is a solution to paid market not available. When I had android on my Diamond I used it for a while and the paid application were still unavailable in canada at this time so I made a little search on this and I found something.
There is an application that can make the market think you are from UK or US and then you have acces to all the paid application. You still need to pay but you have acces to buy them at least.
I don't remember the name but it was something like "market enabler". Sorry I erased all android data of my phone cause there is no more development in this direction and GPS, bluetooth and camera were still missing. I can't even think of living without google maps with AGPS and speeking while driving is illegal over here unless using a bluetooth headset or an hands free system.
Good luck with that.

just install market enabler app and u can use paid market, i live in Sweden and we don't have paid market enabled here yet, but with the magic of a rooted Legend and market enabler i bought an app yesterday and have installed and it's working 100%
As far as it comes to your question about if it's possible to run ios4: i think it's not nice of people to make fun of you for just asking, technics-geeks as we all are many of us just want to know IF it's possible.. people shouldn't be flamed just for asking.
i agree with the last post as well. and as i was seeking some answers i was disapointed when i saw some ppl who are making fun of the first post and playing smart as they aperently dont know **** about the question and dont even care about sharing knowlage (i dought they have any). instead all they do is sit there and ***** about being smart and thats so childish.
since im a new to this forums this gives me a perspective on what cind of ppl are hanging out here...and that usualy not a good sign to see

App Store

I don't know if anybody posted this before, but has anyone ever though about getting apps and games from the Apple store on to your Android phone? Just a thought, but if anybody can do that, you would be my hero!
Thanks in advance

excellent question! I wanna know cuz I want Sonic 4 for Android, and given how open source it, it wouldn't suprise me if someone knows how to port Apple Apps
Different operating systems. Apps and games need to be PORTED to android... You can't just install them.
It's difficult to explain without some computer/coding knowledge......
Think of it in terms of a game that comes out on PC, Xbox and PS3. The game is developed with console in mind and then ported to the other systems. Naturally the original is far better, it's what it was coded for and optimized for. The ports, unless rebuilt from the ground up, are never as good.
Just like you can't stick an Xbox360 disk in your computer and start playing, you can't install an apple application on Android. Porting is a pain-staking process, eventually a majority of apps on the Apple store will make it to Android, but don't hold your breathe.
It can be as open source as it wants, it's still a difficult and painful process to port it to another operating system. If it was easy every PC app and title would be Mac friendly and Apple/Linux users would have more than the small handful of games to play that they unfortunately have.
If you want sonic download a Genesis emulator and play one of the originals. Touch screen controller emulated controls suck though . Wish their was a better alternative.

If an app has been ported (think angry birds) it would be in the android market, amazon appstore or getjar.com (in the case of the newly released cut the rope.)
As for porting apps like the poster above said IT'S NOT AN EASY THING...

Nokia N900

Im looking for a new phone (again), and im tired of buying phones for their os, (its costing me money), so ive been looking for that "godly" phone that can do them all. so far ive been looking on youtube and google and seen it run gingerbread, windows XP and heard it will soon run windowsphone7 (i wasnt that curious about apple os), but i know that it wont run them smoothly, and it cost about 300 on eBay. so is it worth the price (and i heard meamo isnt "user friendly"), and is there a phone that can run all os's?
Sent from my Droid using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I have one, it's mad slow compare to my android, because maemo is not updating anymore. I also had it run on android, but the development also seems to stopped. I haven't tried meego tho. I still have the phone, 32gb is pretty fun as a mp3 player with wifi and browser with flash.
how did it run android because with hardware capable of running winxp im thinking itll run it like it was made for it, also its has a resistive touchscreen, so does that mean it isnt capable of multitouch?

Yes it doesn't have multitouch. Also resistive screens need more strong tapping to work compared to capacitive that you have to barely touch them. It's not an everyday use phone and not user friendly at all
I still have and love a N900. I found it easy to use with a great UI and the resistive screen an advantage, not a negative. Most of all it gave me a real Linux distro in my pocket with true multitasking that blows away Android.
I gave up using it for daily use only because of:
1. The lack of future support from Nokia for Maemo/MeeGo due to Nokia being paid by Microsoft to switch to WP7.
2. Not wanting to be locked into 1 manufacturer ala Apple/iPhone. That was my biggest concern when I bought a N900 but it was just irresistable and I pulled the trigger anyway.
3. Certain apps I use a lot have equal or better versions for Android than Maemo/MeeGo.
If MeeGo ever gains real traction and is supported by multiple manufacturers with real MeeGo devices, I'll drop Android like a bad habit.

Yes good phone
Guys, the N900 it's not for all. If you don't want to mess up with linux go buy an android phone.
for the price, not being capable of multitouch, and meamo being left, i dont think its worth it, but is there a way for it to support multitouch with its resistive touch screen, like how the xperia 10 didnt support multitouch but then there was a hack on xda to make it.

You're absolutely right! But the "big boys" will never let linux to spread on smartphones like they did on all sorts of other embedded systems. For them is just a cancer. Think of N900 as the first and I really hope not last of how a true "smart" phone should be.
Ps: I still remember the massive debates few years ago maemo/meego vs android

I got one of the 1st G1s. Then I got one of the 1st N900s. Now I'm back to Android for daily use but not happy about it. Android and the apps have come a long way since the original G1 but still leaves me wanting. I'm hoping for a MeeGo miracle, but I'm afraid at this point it'll take a miracle for MeeGo to make a dent in the market.
P.S. The debate wasn't that long ago - I got the N900 in late '09. And it's actually still going on.

even though meamo's been dropped and the no multiouch problem, reading the comments below and seeing how loyal people are to it, i think im gona do it. if it sucks then ill sell it and stick to my droid
Sent from my Droid using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
The N900 is still a lot of fun to play with and still reasonably speedy compared to more recent phones if overclocked. A real Linux distro in your pocket. Nothing else quite like it. Well, there's the new N9 but that's a lot more $$ than a used N900 and no hardware keyboard.
Be sure to check out maemo.org and the talk.maemo.org forums, which are still very active.

My brother has an N900. It's kind of laggy and has problems connecting to WiFi networks

Interesting, but the poor quality of the datasheet greatly limits its uselessness. Also the main CPU is pretty weak.
A BeagleBone ($90) can do far more, and a PandaBoard ($180) is as powerful as a GNex. Both have far better documentation for the hardware on the board.

Need to dl moar ram for that
I've been following the Raspberry Pi for a while now, thinking of getting one and using it for a media sever or seedbox. Cheap, affordable, made for something simple, yep looks like it'll be fun
The only problem is the demand brought down both web sites that are selling the thing, and the available stock sold out in in a matter of hours. The sites are now back to normal but lead time is out to the end of April!
At least as they are being distributed through RS and Farnell, so they can now source a manufacturer capable of bashing together the required number of units fast enough. When they do turn up, they have got the infrastructure to get them out there, to those eager to gets their hands on one.
Anybody remember the delays trying to get your hands on the original Sinclair ZX80? Showing my age here, I'm afraid.
It looks like a very interesting piece of work, more a solution looking for a problem. I will try to get my hands on one when the all the hoo hah dies down a bit.
Time to roll your sleeves up and brush up your Linux skills. Get a GNU ARM C compiler running on it and let the fun begin.

From the FAQ:
Will it run Android?
If someone in the community can port a version of Android to work with 256MB of RAM, then it’ll run on the Raspberry Pi.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So there's your answer: limited by 256 MB of ram. You would probably see similar performance to that of the samsung intercept . It has only 256 MB RAM on it. it even runs android 2.2!! http://www.virginmobileusa.com/cell-phones/samsung-intercept-phone.jsp
So, if anyone is willing to port android 2.2 yes, it can run android. Not very fast, but possible. Also, it will be able to run a chinese hacked version of flash that is made to run on armv6
my Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 has an ARMv6 too with 600mhz and only 168 MB RAM and i runs Gingerbread good so this little thing should do this to but i am not very familiar with this hardware so forgive mistakes ;-)
The R.Pi has same amount of ram as a Motorola backflip and its CPU is 200mhz faster then a moto backflip. I gave my lil sister my old moto backflip running cm7 2.3, so its possible to get gingerbread on the R.Pi Get that on it and I'm sold

[Q] MeeGo on the touchpad?

So, I wanted to know if there is a port of MeeGo for the Touchpad, and if not maybe we can get some people to port it over that way we can triple boot MeeGo, WebOS, and Android. Thanks yall.
After reading your other thread I thought it was a bit of a fail, but this is a more interesting idea Can't see why it wouldn't work

i hope hp touchpad becomes the htc HD2 for tablets!!
There was already a thread about Meego but i guess they mods didnt like it, and deleted it.

I dunno why?
Meego is open source

meego is made for the intel moorestown..... I don't think snapdragon is supported... The UI is great and would be wonderful on the hp touchpad
they ported meego on HD2 and HD2 is a snapdragon .. so it must be possible
but i fear that storage limitation might become a problem at some point specially for 16gb touchpads
MeeGo begin to port it to all arm processesors. I'm tracking for tegra but I saw that there are snapdragon too.

the port was unreleased and doesn't work...
What would be the major benefit over Android when installing meego?
Man, you must REALLY hate webOS op!

From what I read Acer has plans for an Iconia M500 tablet, which afaik it looks similar to the rest of the 500 range. However, not sure it's Atom based like the W500(Windows), or Tegra 2 like the A500(Android). I guess maybe the advantage would be running a slew of Arm based RPM packaged software(for ex. Chrome, and Banshee), while having a nice tablet friendly interface? Would be neat to have MeeGo, Android and WebOS triple booting on the Touchpad.

The W500 doesn't use Atom. It uses Fusion from AMD.

get it right
there are videos showing it boots
and possibly touch screen working
no graphics acceleration, no wifi, no sound, no cell radio support...in essence not working

I am so use to seeing Atom tablets, I forgot this has the better Fusion C cpu. Thanks.
