I'd be rather curious to see how advanced the Android hackers have gotten. Something I'd really like to see would be the ability to run apps outside the standard Android framework/jail, so that those with a dev phone straight from Google could, for instance, run an SSH server, or run X11 apps written in C/Python/etc.
I have a Freerunner, and I like being able to write my apps in Python/Gtk, and while the Android port for it looks really interesting (once Android finally gets a real on-screen keyboard that is), I don't want to give up my ability to write in a language that isn't Java.
Edit: and the Dev1 case looks a lot better than the standard G1, too. ;)
- tryke 18y agoThere's a pretty good write-up of installing a Debian userland on the G1, but the link seems dead today. Maybe this will work later: http://www.saurik.com/id/10 http://www.saurik.com/id/10 In the meantime, here's the Google Cache version: http://74.125.45.132/search?q=cache:qTYLZQyrPnQJ:www.saurik.com/id/10&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=us&strip=0 http://74.125.45.132/search?q=cache:qTYLZQyrPnQJ:www.saurik....
- nuclear_eclipse 18y agoUnfortunately, the steps involved in that process seem an exercise in insanity. I'm thinking more along the lines of: the developer phone has an unlocked bootloader, therefore I would like to be able to flash an Android image that already has a userland set up and working. :P
