Hi, can you send me a link to those forks? I cannot find mention of android anywhere in wiki. thanks.

So, there is mention in this forum that some people received their pinephone preloaded by android7 in chinese by mistake, rather than postmarketOS factory test, and there is some screenshots of android10 booted on pinephone on reddit, but interestingly enough there is no android images 7 or 10 or whatsoever for pinephone available to download anywhere I looked. Almost if like its on purpose, so the focus stays on linux Smile

The way I see it, android is java apps running in java VM (dalvik) on top of linux kernel, so why not run those same  java apps in anbox container in linux which behaves similar like docker containers. why rewrite all apps to linux, no need to do that.
Until anbox matures, why not have dual boot temporary Smile
