android 2.2 or 2.3?

Forgive me if this is a completely stupid question, since we're able to hack/root/whatever the nook color, why can't we install the latest android OS on it?

Check the dev thread. They are already booting an alpha version of froyo.

The latest is Gingerbread (2.3), not Froyo (2.2). The problem is that it is only officially released as source and the Nexus S. There's little developed driver support yet. As more official and user developed Gingerbread builds get released, there's a lot more to work with.
I think it's cool that they are working with Froyo, rather than Eclair though!

Android 3.0 for Milestone?

Hi all develoers here. Salute to you all for whatever you did for our milestone.
Just a noob question. Is by any chance, by stripping down, or by any magic, is there a possibility to port Android 3.0 for Milestone? Is it possible?
http://developer.android.com already released information and sdk about 3.0. Any expert comments about hardware requirement or any hardware comparisaon details available yet?
I have seen many chinese android tablets and devices with same or lower configuration than milestone running with higher versions like 2.3.3 and some even claiming to have 3.0. (There are already many 3.0 tablets on ebay with lower configuration than Milestone. http://cgi.ebay.in/BRAND-NEW-8GB-7-...31243148?pt=IN_PC_Laptops&hash=item4cf532848c )
Any possible luck? Any experts there?

The old HTC G1 even can run 3.0 (just for fun, nothing more) so i think MS can run 3.0 (but...just for fun, nothing more...^_^).

As sayd, maybe MM can run 3.0 with some hack/tweak/mods, but nothing farther...
Google says that 3.0 is for tablets intended, 2.3/2.4 and so on for mobile

MM can't run Honeycomb, cause we have locked bootloader.
I can't imagine Honeycomb with Froyo kernel

Then why not for fun? When other low-configured devices can run 3.0 seriously, then why not on Milestone, which actually have good confi?

Do you still believe that developers should stick to what google or anyone else said? Most of the new tablets runnung 3.0 have similar configurations and even resolution of milestone.

Do not agree. Milestone is already rooted and thousands of experimets with GB is already done. Seems you dont visit milestone rom developement section. Its always better to get some information before commenting with dead ends.
Anyways thanks all for your inputs.

Are they still trying to Bruteforce open the bootloader? Or did they give up?

It's still open at www.androinc.net, but most of us don't trust the project since the source was never released and it just seems shady.

almost a month over, but no useful information from motorola nor any developers. Seems motorola bootloader will never be cracked in future.

You are wrong. All the latest rom available for MM is over froyo kernel and no GB as you stated. Yes we now run GB on our MM but the Kernel still Froyo. I think YOU should start read the DEV section a bit more instead of saying this things.
Peace

Google has clearly stated that Android 3.0 is only meant for tablet use.

New Nook Color owner in need of help

So my dad got this for me for black friday and at first I was really excited to get it but I learned that this isn't a tablet like the galaxy tab or ipad but an e-reader with some tablet like qualities.
As much as I like it, I'd like an android tablet to actually download apps and stuff from....
I hear you can root it/hack it to act as an android base tablet...
Is this something that is easy for a newbie person who is not familiar with rooting can do?
Where would I need to look at first for directions on rooting and installing the Android OS?
I just want a stock android build that allows me to download google play apps.

The Rom I use is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873 . To make it look like ICS I use a theme from the themes and apps section. There is a guide in the development selection that will walk you through the setup process and installation to either internal memory or Sd card.

Yes, you can either root the stock ROM so that it has more Android tablet features or you can put a custom ROM either on SD or internal memory replacing stock. If you just want to root, use Manual Nooter here. If you want to put on SD, go here or here. If you want to replace stock, go here.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Do you mean running stock Amazon OS + JellyBean? If so, that is not possible. Stock OS uses Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.3), whereas JellyBean is version 4.2.2 (for KFHD at least). At it's core, the Kindle already does run Android. It's just really locked down by Amazon. Rooting it allows you to do your own things to it to make it more like a regular Android tablet. Installing JellyBean completely wipes out all the Amazon apps and services.

I'm confused as to what you are asking, dude. You can't "turn off" the Amazon OS. You do have several options though. You can run stock, root, and install a 3rd party Launcher like Nova or Apex to keep the Amazon installed OS (which is an Android base) without being a slave to the interface, or you can run Kinology, which is the stock Amazon OS with some pretty slick tweaks, or (and I think this is what you are asking) if you truly want to eliminate the Amazon OS and go with stock Android you can install 4.2.1, 4.2.2, 4.3, and now 4.4 beta all from the Dev forum. These pure-ish android ROMs are all CM and all the non-Amazon based ROMs in the forum currently will be built from these. I hope this adequately answers your question. If not maybe you can clarify a little more and we'll be happy to help.

Your last option is the one im looking for...I jus twant the amozon os gone and a pure andriod one....sorry for the confusing.. Ive never rooted anything and i didnt know which process on the forum was the one i wanted to use.

One word of advice, read through the instructions a few times before you take the plunge. Once it's set up its simple to try out the different ROMs. Just need to be sure to follow the instructions.

So which thread should i be looking at to get the results that i want.? Thank you very much for your patience with me

I would use this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271909
2 very important things to note, make sure in fire flash to check the box about downgrading the boot loader, its the box at the top with red text after it. The other thing is to download a ROM you want onto the device first along with its gapps or you will have a bit of a hassle getting it on there after you do this because the kindle will bootloop into recovery after you do this because of a stupid boot loader version check the os checks on boot up, and if the versions don't match it bootloops. Just make sure to read through that entire guide and I suggest making backups like it says.

Excellent thread, it's what I used. Except for my typos and one thing I missed (so all my own mistakes) it worked flawlessly.
