So, after a bit of searching, I found the best suitable Android release to run on the lowest-end Linux capable hardware I could think of: my calculator. The latest Android release at the time of writing is Lollipop, a release Google claims can run on smartphones "with as little as 512MB of ram." Certainly a good start, But I was convinced *some* version of Android could run on *extremely* low end hardware. there seems to be a misconception that Android can only run on fast smartphones. You can now run Android on a graphing calculator This is my attempt to contribute back to the community, by porting Android userspace to the nSpire CX and CX CAS model calculators. One of the most notable community contributions, started by tangrs, was a port of Linux to the device, giving users and tinkerers full access to GNU userspace. Luckily, however, the TI community found a way to "jailbreak" the nSpire CX and CX CAS, allowing third-party developers to create apps for their calculators. Unlike previous calculator models from TI, users, by default, are unable to create native homebrew applications for the device. The nSpire CX is a color-screen graphing calculator produced my Texas Instruments powered by an 150Mhz ARM-based SoC and 64MB of RAM. Android running on the TI nSpire CX Graphing Calculator
