Hacking Porting Android to 3DS?

[AtlanticBit]

What do you think about this idea?
How would I write the drivers?Use libctru?
I want to do it using:
https://bitbucket.org/xerpi/3ds-arm11-linux-loader/

I don't think it's possible as you'd have to bypass the bootloader, something I believe not yet accomplished..., That's why theres only a modified sysnand that works as CFW and I don't think we even know how they did it?

I just posted a link to MSET linux loader.
I want to boot android from that

That would be cool. The question is, is the 3DS powerful enough?..

Would be a epic idea! But I don't think that it will work so easily.
If it really works, possibly I could play my Android Game on 3DS

Spoiler: My game, lol

No, not at all. especially not on top of the usual 3DS operating system. you could possibly get Windows Mobile running (if even that) but Android? not even on the N3DS.

• The absolute minimum requirements for Android were originally a 200 MHz processor, 32 MB of RAM, and 32 MB of storage.
• Out of the box, Android is incompatible with ARMv4 or lower; ARMv5 or higher is needed to run native code without modifications.
• Android 4+ requires an ARMv7 processor. Custom versions of Android 4+ have been made for ARMv6 however.

I can look into this more and help, if needed.

Just like DarkFlare69 said, can 3ds handle android? I dont know the amount of ram in the 3ds but I do know that lots of early android devices that had <=512 MB of ram struggled to run any app, regardless of how powerful the cpu.

 

[AtlanticBit]

well, help would be needed. we could actually firmlaunchhax the 3ds to boot into android directly(?)

 

[DarkFlare69]

No, not at all. especially not on top of the usual 3DS operating system. you could possibly get Windows Mobile running (if even that) but Android? not even on the N3DS.

That's what I thought. Could a Windows Phone booter work? Those things are shit!

Not "Windows Phone", i said "Windows Mobile"

btw, Windows Phone > *

I'd say it's possible, if you can get the 3DS OS to not run at all, as to allocate Android enough memory. I have a tablet that has Android 2.3.3 and uses only 100MB of ram. It's quite impressive. If you can configure it to use low I memory settings, it should run decently.

would firmlaunchhax do the trick?

You better be ready to face some low-level barriers ahead.

well, first i'll try to compile linux for this and than get to android

Are you looking to run the entire OS? Or just individual APK files?

You will need most of the OS to even run an APK.

OS.
