Full thread at XDA

First off this would not be possible without the work of many devs in many places. Some of the builds that have really helped get this done:

The base build I started with:
[Android] Eclair 2.1 by mssmison

Builds/Devs that helped me get this far:
polymod 2.1 alpha 4 by polyrhythmic that is itself is based on openeclair 1.1.5
dzo, wesgarner, ctso, many more who have contributed to openeclair

Please try both of these and My build and post your results, I want to know what works and what doesn’t. It also will help to know what works better on whose build.

Here it is folks Android running from NAND on your kaiser/tilt!

What works:
WIFI – you no longer need a calibration file from Windows Mobile.
GPS
Phone
Sleep
Battery – sometimes doesn’t update quickly, working on it.

What doesn’t:
Bluetooth? I have random results still
Camera

I am in no way liable for whatever may happen to you or your phone!
This will erase/replace windows mobile.

How to get it:

Version 1.0

Step one:
If you do not have dzo’s latest nbh get it from here:
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
and flash it to your phone.

Step two:
Perform a hard reset on the phone, then remove the battery.

Step three:
Download my package and place the andboot folder on the root of your sd card.
http://homecncfun.com/android/KaiserDroid-1.0.zip
Place your sd card in your phone put the battery back in and power it on.
Watch the screen and once it tells you to press and hold the D-Pad center button.
Choose the install option and answer “Yes” when it asks to clear your data.

Step four:
Choose quit and wait for the big green android!
If you get a second google account setup screen after entering your info once just hit the home button or reboot.

Update beta 1.1

*notes*
Starting wifi during the initial setup works but the setup app FC’s and goes back to the start wifi screen. The wifi actually does start but you cannot choose a network until you complete setup.

You must have a sd card to boot (for now)

LCD density is set to 160 as I believe with a 320×480 nbh yields the best usability and market selection.

I the screen flips the wrong way instead of going back to portrait mode open “spare parts” and uncheck “launcher rotation”

(Works on polaris and vogue as well)
