Sadly yes. And each might need slightly tweaked patches. Most
Android devices have vendor supplied kernel trees (i.e. not mainline
kernels). So every Android kernel often needs the patches applied
manually. :(<br>
<br>
And not all of them work. We were unable to get the SIII kernel to
work for instance. I'm sure we will be able to, but after a few days
of trying we went with the Nexus 7 because it largely just worked
with our patches.<br>
<br>
As for the hardware we used, we chose recognizable Android hardware
which we already had access to, and that we could easily take to
conferences.<br>
