Einstein on Android Devices

Build instructions for Android Studio 3 are located at the bottom of the Build Instructions page.

NewtonOS is now running on any Android 2.2 device and up. I recommend a CPU with at least 1GHz. More is better. This release is still in Beta, but I am very positive that this will be the first version of Einstein running on a PDA that has the potential to replace the MessagePad.

On the low end, this will likely run fine on a hacked $200 Nook Color, but as a highlight, I will hopefully be able to support the HTC Flyer and Samsung Galaxy Note which come with a great stylus.

For the brave among you Android device owners, you will find an early test version in the Downloads section.

Copy the file 717006.rom and Einstein.rex to /Download/Einstein on your Android device. Then install and launch the Android Package. The first launch will take quite a while, but after the Flash RAM is set up, further launches will be quicker.
