== Documents ==
* [[Noisedroid/FAQ]] has a bunch of links about getting the build working and putting it on the target device.
* [[Noisedroid/Nights]] are coworking periods in the main space on Thursday Evenings at 7:00pm.
* [[Noisedroid/Shows]] highly speculative Android Show-and-Tell events.

== Status ==
'''2009-02-17''' After a weekend of hacking, the upstream sources build and can be installed ([http://www.flickr.com/photos/radii/3287411092/ shot 1], [http://www.flickr.com/photos/radii/3287411098/ shot 2]) on a commodity G1 rooted with the [http://www.gotontheinter.net/content/engineering-bootloader-its-not-just-ttuttle-anymore engineering bootloader].  GL-ES is done in software instead of using hardware acceleration, so the UI is pretty unusable.  The Bluetooth and wifi drivers are missing.

'''2009-03-15''' Another productive weekend, built and running more tip-ish kernels and TI wlan driver to give a working WiFi interface; phone calls, GL-ES accelerated drawing, and Bluetooth are all working.

== Goals ==
* Update this document
* Android built using best available free software (but more Ubuntu than Debian -- if free software doesn't work well enough, use the proprietary while helping the free software improve.)
* Reproducible, documented, build processes.
* Make it easy to use your own IMAP, XMPP, calendar, and other servers, using encrypted network protocols whenever possible, as first-class citizens in the Android environment.
* [http://www.torproject.org Tor] mode for anonymized networking.
* OTR supported IM
* recovery mode that supports more than update.zip/file chooser for binary updates
* Easy tethering over USB, Bluetooth, and wifi.
* hostap mode for wifi (adhoc is done)
* Easy access to language interpreters (Python, Ruby, sqlite, Javascript, etc).
* Documenting Android and working with the G1 for non-Google non-Android free software hackers.
* Make phone system image (with appropriate SIM) compatible with OpenBTS
* Add android market installer for rooted phones (like jf updater)
* where possible break out key features for mainstream/commercial android market stuff (e.g. otr im/sms engine)
* create alternate market/cloud options for diy'ers untrustful of googlecloud
* make contact with & attempt to collaborate with others working along similar lines, e.g.: http://nathanialfreitas.s3.amazonaws.com/Guardian022709.pdf
