LXDE running on Android phones

LXDE has been ported to Googles Android by ghostwalker of androidfanatic.com. Thank you very much! We are pretty excited about running X-Windows and more specifically the LXDE Desktop GUI on mobile phones like the  G-1.

While IceWM, performance-wise runs the fastest – LXDE is also pretty good, and just plain ‘prettier! (http://www.androidfanatic.com/cms/com…)

Detailed installation instructions are in the Android.com forum here: http://www.androidfanatic.com/cms/community-forums.html?func=view&catid=9&id=1615

We are also collecting infos how to run LXDE on Android in our wiki: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Android

    It would be possible to port this WM to Windows Mobile, but Windows Mobile sucks.
