The badasses over at Unwired View have figured out how to install the Android OS dev image on the Nokia N810 running the Diablo (latest) firmware; effectively replacing the operating system with Android and allowing you to play around with it long before real Android phones and devices will hit the street.
The best part, it’s a 2-step process to be done from the 810N directly that will probably take no more than a few minutes, more specifically:
- Download android.img.bz2
- Install android-installer.deb
- Reboot the Nokia 810N
Now you’ll have a new entry under the Extras Menu that you can fire up to do the install. If you get stuck, have questions or want more information about the process, check out the Internet Table Talk Forums here for a slew of folks that have done this and can help.
Thanks Laurence Hartje and Unwired View!

OML,
I would check the original ITT Forums post (link) and look for the maintainer of the thread to find more information about the actual folks that discovered it.
Also is the Moko hardware compatible with the N810?

Leetel,
If you do let us know how it goes and what Android is like… would be cool to see it in action.
If you wanted to do a writeup of your time with it, let us know!
