KOSP - Android on Kindle

luketheduke · 11-14-2022, 12:22 AM

Sigh... I hate to be that guy, but here I go.

I recently stumbled into this GitHub project located here along with this(hardware), this(TWRP), and this(uboot) that is for running Android 5.1 on KT3.

With a bit of work, it could be ported to run on other Kindles, but a few modifications need to be made.

Firstly the uBoot needs to be tweaked to boot the boot.img.

Second, a few patches related to Android need to be added to Amazon's kernel source.

Unfortunately, I'm a bit over my head with this project (being only 15) but I thought I would bring it to the attention of the rest of the community. If anyone would like to work on this I'd be more than happy to help any way I can.

Here's the related blog post from the author.

Again, sorry for asking for help with something that's beyond my skill level

I think we should focus on improving the display driver of KOSP first. The display driver is in the very early stage and it doesn't behave normal. The waveform, refreshing strategy, refreshing frequency, etc needs to be improved. I'm tring to figure how the MiguOS and KDroid's gralloc work now. Hopefully I can make some progress.

I did see that and have. The CracKDroid project is different from the KOSP project. Thank you though.

Is there anything I can do to help?
