This page explains one method to run Android Gingerbread on a Gumstix Overo COM using [[Android_Prebuilt | prebuilt images]] or directly from the [[Android_Source | source]]. In fact, there are several ports of Android for Overo; this one is based off the [http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/ Rowboat] project. [[Android_Usage | These tips]] may be helpful once you are ready to boot your Overo COM with Android.

== Feature Status ==
This section describes the notable features known to be working (or not) in the most recent pre-built Android image; please update this section to reflect the features and problems you discover.

! Notes
|-
| ''2.6.32''
| Android-flavoured Linux Kernel
| This older kernel is used to support the SGX driver code targetted at this kernel; the next release for SGX is expected to be against the 2.6.37 or 2.6.38 kernel.
|-
| ''Working''
| SGX Graphics Drivers
| SGX graphics package is packaged with the source code and automatically enabled in init.rc. See the external/ti_android_sgx_sdk
|-
| ''Untested''
| DSP support
| See [http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/wiki/DSP Rowboat-Android] for an explanation.
|-
| ''Broken''
| Accelerometer Integration for Palo34 and Gallop43
| The LIS33DE accelerometer is supported by the kernel as an input device but code is needed to link this into the android sensor subsystem.
|-
| ''Untested''
| GPS support on Gallop43
| The u-blox 5 GPS module on the Gallop43 module will acquire a signal after some delay.
|-
| ''Working''
| Resistive touchscreen
| May [[Android_Usage | require calibration]]
|-
| ''Broken''
| Wifi
|
|-
| ''Untested''
| Bluetooth
|
|-
| ''Not Included''
| Android Market and Google Apps (such as Maps)
| It is not possible to included proprietary application and access to the market without [http://source.android.com/compatibility/index.html certification from Google].
|-
| ''Partially working''
| Power Management
|
|-
| ''Working''
| Android Debug Bridge
| To get this working, see [[Android_Usage#Using_ADB | here]]

== Buildbot ==
A [http://buildbot.gumstix.org/ builbot] instance generates [[Android_Prebuilt | prebuilt images]]. This is useful for a couple reasons:
* prebuilt images are made automatically and published to a [http://feeds.feedburner.com/AndroidBuilderFeed feed]
* daily exercise of the build system along with logs so the project has a common baseline for comparison
* shows the exact build steps used and how long it might take to execute them

Currently, only a daily incremental build is performed on a Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 machine. If you want to set up your own buildbot, check out the [https://github.com/gumdroid/android-utils/raw/master/master.cfg buildbot master configuration file]. If you have other configurations you'd like to see tested, consider donating some time (an hour or two for a complete build) and disk space (let's say 10GB) on your server; contact Ash <ash at gumstix.com> to figure out a strategy.
