Considering that most Android devices are still running an older version of the OS, N9 owners should be in pretty good spirits. If you have a Nokia N9 and are anxious to try it out, head over to Nitdroid here and follow the instructions to grab yourself some dual-booting Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich. The N9 is a good fit for ICS since it has no front buttons and it houses a pretty solid 1GHz OMAP3630 processor behind that Gorilla Glass-covered 3.9-inch 854×480 pixel AMOLED screen. The port does have some issues, with YouTube playback being choppy and the power/battery icon not updating. The port even allows Nokia N9 owners to dual-boot between MeeGo and Android 4.0.3.įor an early release, this is a pretty solid port with most functions like multi-touch, audio, video playback, 3D acceleration, GSM/3G, USB and Bluetooth connectivity working properly.

News of Project Mayhem, as it’s called, broke a few weeks ago when the first images of a Nokia N9 running Android ICS appeared, but now a developer has released the first Alpha version of the port, which anyone can download and try-out - at their own risk of course. Owners of the polycarbonate body beauty should not despair just yet, developers are at at work, and they’ve already managed to create a pretty solid port of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the device. The Nokia N9 is running the now defunct MeeGo, which was abandoned by the Linux Foundation in favor of the HTML 5 Tizen. So what do you do when you end up with an awesome handset but with a dead operating system? Well you port a very much alive mobile OS to it.
