You can put it afterward for yourself as I don't want ED do spend money for this piece of... which will get passed down to the cost end-users have to pay.ED, whats your thoughts on Android preinstalled? Have you considered speaking with the Cyanogenmod team? They are already working with Oppo to have their flavor of Android preinstalled on some devices. Maybe the P2 could be another Cyanogenmod device?
Im all for a full linux distro, but my understanding was there were a lot of users who were interested in having Android pre-installed as wellYou can put it afterward for yourself as I don't want ED do spend money for this piece of... which will get passed down to the cost end-users have to pay.ED, whats your thoughts on Android preinstalled?

By lots you mean Craig. That's just two of you.Im all for a full linux distro, but my understanding was there were a lot of users who were interested in having Android pre-installed as well
Ahhh no, to be fair , last time we had a vote (via the poll that mysteriously went missing), the majority selected Dual boot Linux + Android with both being supported.By lots you mean Craig.

YayThat's because the majority aren't assholes who would intentionally sabotage someone else's intereststhe majority selected Dual boot Linux + Android with both being supported
I voted for dual boot though I have no real interest in running Android. If it can be done easily enough, and with a lot of modern SoCs it's almost a given, I don't see any reason not to include it.
It's not like you will have anything ELSE but Cyanogenmod anyway.But id really like to see Cyanogenmod. that way the CM team can take over the development and ED wont have to worry about it.
CM take the Android sources, compile them, and package them for different devices. There's nothing stopping someone from doing the same. In fact, there are a lot of groups producing Android ROMs for many different phones, CyanogenMod just happens to be the most popular.It's not like you will have anything ELSE but Cyanogenmod anyway
-1 for android, i dont want google to watch me
Sorry guys, "not Android because of spying" is *stupid*. What about chemtrails, is it next step of paranoia? Use cyanogenmode, no problem.-1 for Android because of spys
But people did it for Raspberry Pi, it could be just a cheap condensator. It was needed for power break when open/close lid of Motorola lapdock.This isn't very realistic. What it needs is a reliable and reasonably fast suspend-to-storage mode.What I'd like to see is something that keeps the Device alive without battery for some seconds.
If I have to swap battery the Device should go into extreme low power mode for some seconds until I can put a new battery inside.
Replicant, AOSP, AOKP, etc. there are lots of options out there. Why would I automatically "get" CM?It's not like you will have anything ELSE but Cyanogenmod anyway.But id really like to see Cyanogenmod. that way the CM team can take over the development and ED wont have to worry about it.
Replicant should be the best option as it is FLOSS as it could be. but it is not advanced enough afaik. Cyanogenmod is most mature and most advanced version of repacked "stock" Android, but right now it seems that it becoming half-closed. They should probably buy some 3rd party licensees that are closed and so on.Replicant, AOSP, AOKP, etc. there are lots of options out there.

*blinks* Wha...? :blink:Shipping android is a super duper way to get patent-rolled by microsoft. Not doing so is a super way to learn how to install it yourself. Provided you actually want android, and there are those that dont.
True, many of Microsoft profits actually come from patents they claim on every Android unit sold out there.Shipping android is a super duper way to get patent-rolled by microsoft.

It's worth finding out what the license fees are, some of the articles i've read suggest between $1 - $8 a unit. But none of them confirmed the charges or if in fact MS do actually charge.True, many of Microsoft profits actually come from patents they claim on every Android unit sold out there.Shipping android is a super duper way to get patent-rolled by microsoft.
