So. B2G is also a Linux based OS.The minimum requirements are ARMV6 600 MHz with 256Mb RAM. So it should work on a Skate. The demo phone was a Galaxy S2. Their targets are indeed android capable phones.
It has a special rendered called Gaia, for displaying HTML5 content, and shouldn't be compared to androids webview.
All hardwares will be available from Javascript APIs, lots of potencial free apps. Even Adobe and Qualcomm stated they support this project. Hopefully wont disappear like webOS

And as always, thank you Lalit and all the devs for your work!

I would love to see something other than android on a skate. Could be like wp7 for the hd2

[XMasterNinni]

@utternoob
WP7 will never work. The HD2 is the only device with an Android and Windows Phone bootloader, so it can run both.

Won't happen. Android was ported to the HD2, a Windows phone. The reverse is impossible as Windows Phone is closed source, while Android is not.

My bad should have realised that. Still great to have another OS for our skates

[andr0idbeliev3r]

It says its recomended a GPU like adreno 200 so Skate and Blade are In the recommended specifications!

Go any lower than having that GPU and you'll be in wildfire territory aka no GPU at all. So don't make it as our GPU is the minimum standard, take it as you need a GPU or it won't run.

I just red, it's going to use android kernel and drives. So one obstacle less

@Lalit:

Does this:

Quote

Important: Only devices running Android 4 (aka Ice Cream Sandwich) are supported. If your device is listed above but running an older version of Android, please update it before doing anything.

mean, that the known issues of ICS/JB will be still present?

Thank you!

Actually HTC Touch HD has a adreno GPU (lower then 200) and has android and it has a GPU

And his new Xperia

[tilal6991]

No no. Still working on the skate. Just real life taking up most of my time.

In the past couple of days I've probably spent more time on the skate than the xperia.

Omg, you almost sound "human".

JK, but are you still working on this?

Apparently there are some issues compiling Gaia to ARMv6 right now. A few people are working on it on XDA for a few ARMv6 devices, but have to be patient. Probably Mozilla also needs work on this subject, I think their main focus is stability and finishing the OS and for that one ARM architecture is enough. After that they might look at other platforms. Just a guess tho..

Yeah, ARMv6 was never a priority for Mozilla. At least we have Nighly/Aurora now, I guess.
