Some time ago I heard of a google project which was supposed to do the same thing as X. What happened to that? Any updates?

You might be thinking of the NoMachine NX protocol which provides compression and performance
improvements for high latency links. IIRC Google put some effort into the open-source NX software because they use it a bunch internally.

They just wrote new management wrappers, though; I'm not aware of any patches contributed to the actual NX code.

Last time I tried NX (before the Google contributions), the "actual" NX code was already running fine. But the existing "management wrappers" were a big pile of unreliable sh... ell scripts spoiling the whole thing.

Android doesn't run X, normally.
