Let Palm Pre run Android
If you have a HP Veer, you may want to try Android on Veer http://xndcn.github.com/android-on-veer/english.html
If you like git, you can git clone from here: https://github.com/android-on-pre
Kernel source code is available. Config for android-on-pre is omap_palmpre_defconfig.
Please repo the Android source code from android.git.kernel.org. I don't have any changes for it. Build it using "make TARGET_ARCH_VARIANT=armv7-a ARCH_ARM_HAVE_TLS_REGISTER=true"
