Raspberry Pi runs Android for the first time in history

Porting Android on Raspberry Pi so that we can transform our TV into a big Android tablet or a connected cheap Google TV? This is a dream of many Raspberry Pi owners. Needless to say, if this can be realized, it will be a cool Smart TV device, even cheaper than the popular MK802 Android Mini-PC!

Despite the great technical difficulties and failures, after being discussed thousands of times, for the first time in history, the porting has been proven to be successful.

An image based on Cyanogenmod 7.2 version of Android 2.3 has been successfully cooked for Raspberry Pi.
It really runs, slowly, but runs! Here is a video of how it works in action:


This is pretty much smoother than the previous CM9 version two days ago.

Hackers from both the Raspberry Pi and Android communities are trying to add hardware acceleration to create faster and more usable images.

Download the image here and flash it into an SD card, exactly the same way as we flash a normal Debian image for the Pi:

  1. I think this is a good thing for Raspberry Pi as with the help of this they are transforming themselves into something more innovative. If this gets successful we will be having some smart device with us.

  4. android for the raspberry pi is vaporware. Ibought mine for that very reason, and despire broadcom opensourcing the graphics driver it seems all interest has dissappeared due to the raspberry pi foundation discouraging the community expirimenting with their functioning graphics accelerated beta as well as secrecy and silencing honest criticism of the way they are handling a supposedly open source and community driven project.

    I wised up and got a mk808 for android on my tv.

  23. You may ask why is it safest to buy gold coins here. Then let me tell you, I have also experienced several WOW TBC Gold buying sites and came to the conclusion. You can take a look at MMOWTS. Their unique trading method allows players to never worry about the threat of having their accounts banned and their gold wiped. I've bought WOW TBC Gold from MMOWTS a dozen times one after another, and I think my recommendation is fine!
