Hello, I have a question, that maybe is dumb, and sorry it this is a little off-topic I know a lot of people are working to port android to various devices, enabling more drivers, options and tools like alsa. The thing that bothers me is: are those modifications making into the android source tree somehow?
I ask that because I have interest into building android to my eeePC (currently running a live old version of android), but I do not want to reivent the weel and do the same work other people, probally more capable than me, already did.
