Chromebooks boot with UEFI (Basically a modern BIOS), so the Android source code would have to be heavilly modified to be bootstraped from UEFI. Not to mention drivers and custom kernels (which isnt much of a pain if the hardware has documentation, all eyes on you Samsung.)

And I dont think we will ever see Windows on a chromebook unless someone creates an emulator for ChromeOS... Which I dont think is possible, but dont quote me on that. :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the_crazy_devil:
i know it would take a ton of modding to find a workaround for it, but enabling the developer mode on the chromebook allows booting of an unsigned linux installation off the external memory (eg. gentoo ubuntu) on the x86 chromebooks currently available (Cr-48 etc..)

trying something similar for booting android off an image on the mem card might be a possible way...

UPDATE : https://plus.google.com/109993695638569781190/posts/b2fazijJppZ a google employee has already begun work on porting ubuntu..!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the_crazy_devil:
drivers would be difficult, esp for the SoC as there is no device currently on the market with it. but maybe after Samsung releases a couple of phones/phablets running the A15's, porting of the drivers could be attempted...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ecac:
I was wondering the same thing and figured I would come here to see if anything was planned. I just ordered the new one and was curious if there would be much interest in modding this thing. Guess in due time!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the_crazy_devil:
rumors say the upcoming google nexus 10 tablet is running identical hardware (exynos 5 dual omap15 / 2gig ram) which is gonna run android 4.2

once its out, MAYBE porting the ROM to the chromebook may become a teeny bit easier...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] titooo7:
If I'm not wrong Nexus 10 will have exactly the same processor than the new Samsung Chromebook. If someon manage port android to this new latop I won't hesitate to buy it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eccomania:
there is a developer board with same hardware and as far as I know it has android source codes, you can check the website http://www.arndaleboard.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

Wasnt this done a while back with the CR-48 thanks to Hexxeh?

http://hexxeh.net/?p=328117655

Just got to find a way to port it over to the new Chromebook, then port Android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dalethefarmer:
Since Android was ported to the HP Touchpad I'm pretty confident that it can be ported to this device... I mean the touchpad was the last thing I thought Android would run on and it runs like it was made for it... COME ON DEVS!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ddlooping:
Following this thread with anticipation. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] peggowski:
Well seeing as this device uses the same SoC as the nexus 10 i would be hopeful someone will manage to port android. I for one would be keen to have this option!

Touch Chromebook?

If this article on Android Community turns out to be accurate and Google release a touch chromebook any time soon, I would throw some money at a kickstarter to get android on it. Would be cheaper than an N10 - and probably quicker than waiting for a keyboard dock...!

Can't link because I'm new... androidcommunity.com/google-reportedly-plotting-12-85-inch-touch-chromebook-20121126/

started..

OK...I was able to get into the uboot portion of chromeos and managed to load uvboot ( unverified boot )which will allow the booting of non chrome os kernel's. however it seems its looking for something else. I already got Ubuntu loaded on it so maybe I'll try to get it booting off the SD first so I don't brick my cb.....keep you guys posted.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] the_crazy_devil:
great work! i'm still waiting for my chromebook :( the stock's very erratic, and i cant find anyone willing to ship it to my country...will try to help as soon as i lay my hands on one!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rawtek:
Ok ... DD'd the system.img from the stock N10 factory image and created a new BOOT partition. Booting the Chrome OS kernel worked ( which should be fine due to the fact that the CB and N10 have the EXACT same ARM SOC ) it seems the boot partition need to be re-written to work with the UEFI. im going to keep digging until I find something ( or someone lends some expertise dealing with UEFI and BOOT ).Happy New years !!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rawtek:
Kernel boots..just has a hard time mounting the ROOTFS...any want to shed some light on this.

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bmkindoll:
Super stoked for this!! Have been thinking this would be good to have Android on from the minute I got it!! Looking forward to this!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] BigJeff:
I don't have a CB, nor am I going to get one. But I have to give props to your effort despite it's irrelevance to myself!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rawtek:
Booting !!!

Ok got it booting.....but locks up after about 1 Second.....cant tell what works and what doesnt....also it appears as if it some how corrupts the Chrome OS partition ( which i'm not to happy about since chromeOS is my main OS..) which in turn requires a full system restore resetting the UBoot and Dev BIOS back to stock..keep you guys posted.

Android Port For Chromebook

As Linux (Ubuntu) is working then surely an android port can't be hard. And if all that is needed at the moment to get it working is a tar ball of android for it, if someone gave the dev who is working on this some help it could be done soon. Also just quoting a freind I asked but:

"If Ubuntu (12.04 or later) has been ported, you should be able to drop a android user-space on top of the kernel without major issues.

Check out and android source tree, and use an appropriet cross-compiler setup to make the userspace."

"Alternatively if ubuntu is already running, you can install the build tools there to build your userspace."

Don't know how much sense this makes but hope it gives some One some help

Looking forward to this, if this is possible then I would definitely buy a chromebook.

Keep up good work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] iansmitchell:
I just ordered my Samsung ARM Chromebook and a 32 GB SD card for putting chrubuntu on it. I would love to add Android to that lineup so I wouldn't need to defer to my phone to do many common tasks. Plus while I'm a much bigger fan of the laptop than tablet experience, I love android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zacharyb5386:
So, would porting Android over to the Acer c7 chromebook be any different?

I ask because I see a lot of people talking about the Samsung chromebook and not the Acer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fredder97:
Ubuntu chromebook

As far as installing ubuntu on the arm chromebook goes, using the guide at http://craigerrington.com/blog/crouton-script-from-sd-card/ allows for running chrome os and ubuntu at the same time. it workes great for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gwon:
This is the first time I've seen my blog linked to on XDA - glad it helped you !

-Craig
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] raptir:
Yes, it would be pretty substantially different. The Samsung chromebook runs an Exynos processor using the ARM architecture. The vast majority of Android devices utilize an ARM based processor. The Acer chromebook uses an Intel Celeron processor using the x86 architecture. There is a port of Android to x86 (very cleverly named Android-x86), and due to the use of the Dalvik VM apps should work. But you'll find that even if you get Android to work on an x86 machine you will run into a lot of problems with applications.

Anyone else having trouble with app memory settings?

For instance, I flashed Nova Launcher.

When I click "home", I get prompted to choose Nova or Android launcher. The options are "Just once" or "Phone" (instead of 'always').

Then it comes up with some message about Microsoft Exchange.

If I choose "phone" (assuming it was supposed to mean "always"), then it behaves as a "just once" option.

But if I choose "just once", then it always remembers that option. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] IcOpRo:
Why post a comment like this ? I don't understand, you do realize that the dev works on this for very long hours and its all for free to all us, also he was even working on Serenity 1.2 while he was on vacation.

Why not post asking anyone else if they have the same problem, maybe a post stating the steps you took to test this out maybe there's a step missed by you, or it could be also an issue with the add-on anything is possible. This will allow the dev and the community to help you out or anyone else that tries to add this add-on to figure out whats going on.

Also if you feel that the dev is not delivering a ROM that meets your needs or he cant deliver what he promises "out of his free time" , then there are a lot of other ROMs and developers that might satisfy your needs at a more graceful rate.

Just my thoughts. Don't me to offend anyone. Just think that a lot of users need to realize that this is done on FREE time and we are not paying anything for this.

Thanks.

Way to show appreciation for someone else's work that you're using for free. It didn't work for me either but come on man, what do you hope to achieve with that comment? As stated previously he worked on this while he was on vacation. It's one thing to let him know something he added is not working and maybe we can figure it out together but another to bash the guy who's work you're using for free. If he doesn't live up to your expectations maybe you should create your own Rom. I'm sure you won't disappoint yourself.

ok a bit of an update after flashing the rom 10 times or so testing what crashing my camera and my photo gallery

it seems that every time i restore my backup from TB mostly media settings and other settings it crashed the camera and software giving me the errors i had experience with

what worked for me finally is wipe / data / system through mount option then flashing the rom then the update

after this i restored only my contacts and my external apps i excluded all type of system apps which shows in red normally and the media & wall papers settings

now the rom runs smooth no errors no crashes

hope that help some one out

Sorry if i was umclear the first time. I dont mean change the shortcut functions, but replace the icon for the function. I really like theming my phone and if the icons on the lock screen matched my homescreen icons i replaced with my launcher it would be really cool. I could just download a locker ap, but i think you are on your way to making your rom stand above the rest and using the touchwiz base like cm and aokp did to aosp but added the chamging icon options, you are gonna use all the touchwiz basics and aosp and make a killer rom.

In the corresponding folders... If you don't know where to place them then you just don't need to do it period in case you need to troubleshoot. I just wanted to see for myself how far along Drew has come.

---------- Post added at 11:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 PM ----------

EDIT: quick guide right before I go to bed, if you mess up your phone it's on your own terms.

to manually place files from a flashable zip you go into the folder that contains directories in the /system file location. these can usually be found by either the /apps folder or /frameworks folder. once these are found in the .zip, use root explorer to go in and copy the files inside of the folders (NOT the folders themselves) and then go into /system/*insert corresponding folder here* and paste. so for example, if i wanted to put a system app (lets call it blink.apk) from a zip into my root access. i would unzip it, go into the extracted zip's directories, find /system/apps/blink.apk and copy that. i would then go all the way to my highest directory and go into /system/app on my root directory and change the directory to R/W and paste the app. you must do this with the framework and permission files as well. then reboot and pray you didn't mess up.

EDIT2:If you mess this up, tough titties, I advised you not to flash so don't come telling me about how you bricked your phone doing this. again, this is only for people who know how to troubleshoot if they find themselves needing it.
