If you thought it’d be easy to move code back and forth between two nearly-identical Motorolas running Android… well, you’d apparently be right. Unfortunately, taking clear video of the completed task proves, as ever, to be an insurmountable task. Of course, the Android hacking community has overcome pretty much every other roadblock it’s encountered so far, so it shouldn’t come as any surprise to learn that the Milestone’s firmware has been successfully ported today over to its big, loud American cousin, the Droid, thanks to the work of AllDroid’s Eugene and Barakinflorida who risked their own device for your gain. Our understanding is that the ROM’s cooked in some regard — it’s not bone stock, which makes sense if for no other reason than the fact that the Droid’s got a completely different radio — but fortunately, that all-important multitouch support carries over from the Euro side. We’re hearing direct from AllDroid‘s founder, Brent Fishman, that the ROM should drop in a couple of days. Until then, follow the break for a video of the build in action.
P.S. Don’t worry Droid owners, Google Navigation is still functional with this build.
Update: Better video added after the break! Man, these guys learn fast.
