What is working:

• based on Android Open-Source Project (AOSP) v 4.1.1_r2 (JRO03L)
• Google Applications (GApps; 20120726), PlayStore (Android Market)
• dualboot kernel (without reflashing), ability to choose OS after power on.

• touchscreen (multitouch)

• alarm driver, RTC
• mounting MyDocs as "SDCard"
• basic video decoding (sw) and playback, youtube
• wifi (only basic functionality: able to connect to AP, linkspeed/RSSI (signal strength) indication. no tethering).
• basic CellMo functionality: network registration, USSD, SMS, data (GPRS/EDGE/3G), signaling. Actually, ofono/ofono-ril stack is used: all things that it able to do on the n900.
• bluetooth (scanning, can pair devices. I'm able to send files between SGS2 and N9. I didn't test deeper).
• battery status, charging indication
• sensors: accelerometer, compass
• audio: playback (audio routing to: loudspeaker, headset or earpiece), jack switch in kernel (h2w), beta-quality microphone support (shazam/soundhound, skype, some sound recorders)
• lights HAL (lcd brightness, hw keyboard lights(Nokia N950) )
• root access (via adb shell; su / SuperSU)
• fakeGPS (ability to trick system and set any location as GPS fix), no real GPS support yet!
• a lot of minor and major bugfixes since alpha_4.

Known bugs:

• little gfx glitch while horizontal scrolling
• voicesearch broken
• voicecalls are still WIP
• no traffic indication in GPRS icon in statusbar
• electronbeam is disabled in this build

Not working/Work in progress:

• Cleanup source code, commit all changes, allow AOSP-like builds.
• RIL/ofono: connectivity problems on some operators. Advanced features: PIN/PUK (un)locking, roaming etc.
• Android USB drivers: adb, mtp etc.
• sensors (als, proximity etc)
• sensors: compass (calibration)
• lights HAL (led)
• audio (a2dp, microphone (attempt to record mono/8000Hz crashes mediaserver), voicecalls
• HW video decoding (DSP)
• vibra
• camera
• GPS. GlonASS also
• NFC (n9 share the same nfc chip with crespo: pn544 from NXP. I suppose we could use crespo's HAL/kernel modules with minimal changes, no need to write it from scratch. However, it doesn't work atm ( userland problem ) ).
• a lot of other things
