Port Android Honeycomb to Any Android Phone

Android Honeycomb SDK port has brought Honeycomb on Desire HD, Evo, Droid Incredible and Nexus One. Going a step further, developers have made the method to port to any android phone.

Note: This is not a proper port, with this port some of the stuff like your wireless radio might not work. This is not meant to be your primary OS.

You just need boot.img to get going with your device :

  1. Dump your current working boot.img and Unpack it.
  2. Uncompress boot.img-ramdisk.gz
  3. ADD the dnsproxy line in init.rc for netd daemon service

service netd /system/bin/netd
socket netd stream 0660 root system
socket dnsproxyd stream 0660 root inet <—-

4. Recompress edited ramdisk.

5. Create your new boot.img

Swap the boot.img in the update.zip and it should work. If u have an instruction error(0) while flashing you’ll have to change the updater binary in META-INF/ for one that is compiled for your ARM version.

That was for SDK preview, I had to do alot of modifications with the full SDK. The idea is still the same tho, compare the SDK ramdisk with yours and edits

If you can’t dump / unpack / repack a boot.img then you can’t port the SDK but you can learn how on this wiki.

    How come this has not been done yet on the Notion Ink Adam or the Gtab? For those with no 3g and only wifi the lack of mobile networks doesnt really seem to be an issue.
