[ NITdroid ]

NITdroid is a kernel and userspace port from scratch of the Android operating system (by Google and the Open Handset Alliance) to the NITs hardware. It is a software alternative to the Maemo platform that ships with the Internet Tablets.

This project is an ongoing effort to make Android usable/useful on NIT devices (N770, N800, N810, N810WE).

Status
The good:
Latest Linux 2.6 stable kernel.
Touchscreen.
Hardware watchdogs.
Hardware keyboard on N810.
Battery charging.
WiFi for N8x0 (using the open/free stlc45xx driver).
Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and (at the same time) storage USB gadget.
Keyboard fixed, now even Fn keys works.
No longer crashes.
LCD and keyboard brightness working.
Battery metering.

The bad:
Sound not working.
Bluetooth not working.
No GPS exploration yet.
No DSP exploration yet.
