Hi Shlomo, Android only uses the LINUX kernel. I was going to say that if your question is not relatyed to the kernel, then it is an android question and it is out of topic. Or not? If I have a question on running something on Debian GNU/Hurd is my question out of topic? If I use PCBSD and I have a question related to kde or gnome, is my question out of topic? If I have a question about configuring my linksys or d-link router that runs a linux kernel, is my question out of topic?
