The topic has been mentioned in the mailing list before. https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/b.a.t.m.a.n/2013-February/009099.ht= ml Android phones are connecting without carrier networks http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/android-phones-are-connecting-= without-carrier-networks https://lists.open-mesh.org/pipermail/b.a.t.m.a.n/2013-May/009587.html Most Android phones run constrained versions of the operating system, due to limitations implemented by the manufacturers and operators. In order to be able to benefit from the full potential of the Android OS, and more specifically to switch on the ad-hoc mode on the wireless interface of the devices, we need first to gain full control of the Linux subsystem. This implies modifying the access rights on the phones, by performing what is called a rooting procedure. While root access does not seem to be a problem; capacity processing for data/traffic through it may be. All depends on the hardware. I have also thought about the openmoko which is an opensource phone.

This is fine, if someone like Google or Cyanogenmod would en= clude batman-adv in their Android builds, which would merely require to e= nable building the module in the kernel build process, as it is shipped w= ith the vanilla kernel sources. >=20 > batmand and bmx6 are user space programs that merely alter the routing = table.
