But i want change this OS solution.
this is becoming a very common type of request - not surprising because you and everyone else sees "android" and, somewhat reasonably, assumes that it's possible to put alternate OSes on machines very easily: unfortunately it's not. you should first get hold of the GPL kernel sources (and GPL u-boot sources) from the retailer, otherwise you are into weeks or months of reverse-engineering. then you can tackle the replacing of the OS with ease. if the retailer refuses to comply with the GPL, you should notify gpl-violations.org and go from there. i strongly recommend that you also contact chris dibona from google if they fail to comply, and make waves on the google android alliance mailing lists. l. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
