Can I install Android on my non-Android device?

I did look at this Can I install Android on my non-Android device?

But my question is a little bit different.

I am trying to install Android on Sony Ericsson Satio (Symbian S60).

Can it be done? If yes, then the question is how?

Are there guides/installers/tools available?

Thanks, Aseem Chiplonkar

  • Aseem hi and welcome to the site, we've already had a few questions about installing Android on Symbian devices, see these http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/6840/can-we-uninstall-symbian-and-install-android and http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/2889/is-it-possible-to-get-android-on-a-nokia-e65 – GAThrawn Sep 23 '11 at 10:39
  • Dev questions are off-topic here, thought GAThrawn's answer may help you with that. The question you linked covers the user perspective. – Matthew Read Sep 23 '11 at 16:00

It won't just be a case of installing from the source, the internals of those phones are different enough from the internals of most Andoird phones that you'll have to port the OS, write hardware drivers and more.

This StackOverflow question Is it possible to port Android for a Symbian phone? goes into some of the work that would be needed to port Android to a Symbian device.
