I was just curious, if android is open source, then why is it so hard to port it over to our device? I just learned how to root and played with my hero and I really want 2.1 on my TP2!!
Thanks guys!!!

This actually is not just a ROM, this is developers who are porting android to our phones using a type of linux I believe.
Now for your question, since this is not ROM development it is a lot more difficult as WoZZeR999 said they have to create, or port these drivers from one operating system to another, they have to change code, this isn't just rooting your device, or for the TP2 unlocking the device, this is the developers writing, or porting code. We can't have an actual android on our device I don't think, all we can have is linux running what looks like android (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). So you see what these developers do is a lot more difficult then rooting a device, it's not easy to do what they do, it takes a lot of time and effort. Which is why I'm so thankful to all developers helping with this project!
