If i get an touchpad and put android on it , would i have access to google android market?

[xbdarkman]

@NYStateOfMind986 yes

[bolch88bb8]

Great video for a dork like me who is scared of installing android and fucking up my touch pad....i bought mine for 299 :( will wait for another 6 months to see what happens with the development and also to see if open source does anything with the web os software. Thanks for posting :)

[jage187]

hey Brad can you tell me if dish remote access is available on CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha3 Android on the HP TouchPad? because I need that App to my shows since it's not on the HP App catalog. I would really appericate it...

[comineeyeaha]

@jage187 You could always install CM7 and then try to install this app. I don't have one myself, but this shouldn't be too difficult.

[ElFlaco1369]

Q CAra de Mama Bichoooo Tu tienes jajaajjaaj

[iphonehackeranddevol]

you can go bck to webos

[Trollinista]

Just did mine today to Cyanogenmod 7.1 and all went ok. It was useless until I added Google Apps update. It all works ok, but what a PITA the update process is compared to iPad. Netflix works but the Android Youtube app sucks. I did the Android thing to learn about Android. So far I am not impressed.

[DARKZERO216psn]

is there a good movie player that can play mkv/mp4 HD 720p movies for HP touchpad cm7 alpha 3.5

[RdMustangx1]

I believe it would void it unless you could back up the stock so you could recover back but its like rooting your phone or "jailbreaking"

[HoodToonzTV]

Hey i was wondering if i install android well flash still work and can i still have the beats audio speakers to play and would it brick my device and would it void my warranty. sorry for all these question i just need to know.

[robezim68]

Brother great work! Thanks for your time and excellent communication skills!

[TheNitrohp]

no facebook!!!! no twitter!!!! fuck you!!!!!

[richardb2837]

can you go back to Webos softtware? @BradLinder

[Saii376]

@aghollywoodsingstar yes! Nothing coats, its all 3rd party. Quit asking.

[aghollywoodsingstar]

Is it free to download android onto it?

[scrahan81]

man your voice sounds so robotic and monotone. no wonder your bootlegging android. xD

[Lbeezyscorpio]

CAN YOU GO BACK TO WEBOS ? OR ONCE YOU INSTALL THE CM7 YOU CANT GO BACK?

[brigked]

@Lbeezyscorpio 1:30 it installs moboot when it installs android

[15cHRIs26]

will storm8 games work.?

[buckfush187]

does it have gps



[chinesecheeunit]

JK NVM!, i just installed it on my touchpad. I was able to find dolphin browser in the market. But it also supported 3rd party apps so i was able to download apks off the web & install ie Amazon app store. I was also able to get games where the accelerometer worked ie Doodle jump. Also supports different launchers. I changed the preinstalled ADW launcher to Go launcher w/ a honeycomb theme. Also was able to download skype. it "supported" video calls but only audio workd. thanks for the preview!

[phucvientran1998]

Can you install Android games, apps, and other stuff on it? Is it like purely Android, or it's just a skin? I want one, but hate WebOS

[AppsolutelyApple]

Wait...so both operating systems are on the HD? It doesn't overwrite WebOS?

[chinesecheeunit]

what happens if you download the Dolphin browser HD apk else where. will you be able to install it?

[enantiomer2000]

So were you saying that even if you just want cyanogenmod, the WebOS operating system will still take up space on the internal storage drive? Do you have the 16 or 32GB version? How much room is available for storage after you load CM7? I ask because the Touchpad doesn't have an SD card slot and I want to determine if I should get the 16 or 32GB version...

[Squashik]

What score in Quadrand and Antutu Benchmark on HP Touchpad?

[ninjasRfunky]

Hey brad I have a question for you: I was thinking about picking up the Touchpad with Android for christmas, but I was reading the article on liliputing about the alpha 3 build of Cyanogen Mod and I saw that a new bug arose: Headphones dont work. Do you know if this happens often or if this occasion is rare? Thanks.

how do I install android to HP touchpad

[diorleboss]

Hello, i tried downloading this using my MAC but everything worked great except when it got to the rebooting of the Touchpad, where u have the too pinguins, it stopped at ""looking for the install images... initial install files not found. please download it from touchpad.linuxhacker.ru and put in sminstall folder on media partition. the name should start with update-cm end end with .zip""...so can you please help me???

[diesstro]

@diorleboss i get the same error message man. download from touchpad.linuxhacker.ru

[ColderThenCream]

@diorleboss me too

[gangpill]

@diorleboss if i remember correctly, by default macOS automatically unzips files that have .zip extensions. or perhaps one of the macOS web browsers does that. you may either need to re-zip the file, or disable the option that's automatically unzipping your zip files.

[dustinwind4]

webos 3.0.4 which was released today makes touchpad run a bit more smoothly but not that good to compare to android. ill install android as soon as the stable version comes out

[5Sodz]

I have it installed and working great except for the camera. It works sorta once, but doesnt actually take the picture. Then a force shutdown is requested... If I restart, I am able to use the camera once more... I have to say this is absolutely beautiful work by these nice folks who made this. Cant wait for the next version to be released ;-)

[ruerue28]

Wow it looks like the mod team did a great job!!!

[rodohmes]

Any new findings about battery life when using Android?

BTW, this video is stellar - thanks for sharing.

[ultislasher1]

does it work for the phone? O.o

[TheJuanpis15]

how can i watch netflix on it please answer thak you so much

[vishallwin]

ok..thanks for reply on skype

[sufaeva]

great vid, quick question. I installed CM7 and was able to load up android. But I cant seem to find the market app. did i do something wrong?

[BradLinder]

@sufaeva Yup. You need to load the gApps package as well. You can find more details at the Liliputing website -- or the RootzWiki forum.

[sufaeva]

@BradLinder thanks! just installed it, and works like a charm now :)

[vishallwin]

Did any one tried Skype working on Android Touchpad. Can anyone upload video..it is hugh plus.

Also how camera working

[BradLinder]

@vishallwin Skype... sort of works.

You can use Skype for text chats. And you can make voice calls -- but you'll sound like a chipmunk. I called a friend and he sounded fine, but my audio sounded very strange to him.

There was no video option at all for Skype -- I don't think it detected the camera.

CyanogenMod's camera progress is still... a work in progresss. You can fire up the camera app and look at yourself, but you can't snap photos.

[noloboy]

This an awesome video post. If you decide to reboot or start over fresh (for any reason) could you please make a guide on how to uninstall it cleanly? Right now, my TP has speaker cracks but I still wanted to keep it. If the crack gets bigger, I will send it to HP. I just want to make sure that when I send it for repair or replacement, they will not find any traces of me installing CM7 thus voiding the warranty.

Thanks again for your great work.

[WoahItsLucas]

how do i get android market?

[tippersteffi1]

Agree maybe down the road I could figure out how to do it....however there are probably alot of folks who are in my shoes

[cubeforce]

If you don't like the keyboard, Swiftkey X is amazing. You can have it as a normal keyboard, or split into 2 sides for two-handed typing.

[cubeforce]

@cubeforce

Oh, and if you use Launcher Pro instead of ADW things should be even smoother.

[tippersteffi1]

Brad I luv to go do that on my touchpad but have no clue how to get started

[cubeforce]

@tippersteffi1

Then you probably shouldn't, as you could brick your Touchpad if you don't know what you're doing.

[kshwetabh]

A very nice and thorough review. I am very tempted to install Android on my touchpad now :). How is the battery drain? Is it able to sustain full day with minimal usage (like web browsing and running few less intensive apps)?

[pneumosilacosis]

@Brad,

Thank you for the very thorough visual and commentary. I am very pleased to hear the specifics as to updating the ROM via wifi update rather than re-flashing a new ROM. I had been holding back as I was uncertain of ROM update and had no desire to apply a new ROM each time the MOD is updated.

I am also interested if the core Alien Dalvik is being worked on for WebOs as a card rather than a full install of Android.

I am impressed with the browser activity and speed. Thanks Greatly!

[BradLinder]

@pneumosilacosis Did I say you could update over WiFi? I didn't mean to. You do currently have to flash a new ROM in order to upgrade from one version of CyanogenMod to the next -- but you won't necessarily lose your data when you do this.

In the future you may be able to use ROM Manager to update more easily though.

[pneumosilacosis]

@BradLinder Thank you for clarification. I may still play the ROM game as the Android appears to fulfill my needs. My ears must be hearing what I want. Thanks for the note on ROM Manager. Very sorry for the misinterpretation. Glad it's out there though for others to review your comments. Earlier today I watched the Asian of the ROM install and was just left to confusion. Thank you for the quick reply.

[pneumosilacosis]

Brad, one more simple question. Do you recommend via Windows (I see your install was done this method) or is Linux fine as I have novacom setup for PreWare already?

[BradLinder]

@pneumosilacosis It should work via Linux... but the instructions posted on Liliputing will be a little off for you. You'll still need to download the same files and take the same basic steps, but you'll need to locate the Novacom directory and place all the appropriate files in it before you can copy them to the TouchPad.

I've only tested this on Windows, but I've heard from other people that have successfully installed Android using Linux.

[shanevictoria]

What bugs have you noticed?  Thanks

[ArtemRomanov]

can you run some gameloft games on it?

[bL33d77]

Battery life decent?

[BradLinder]

@bL33d77 Ask me again in a few days. I just installed Android this morning. 

[cubeforce]

@bL33d77

I found the battery life to be okay because I was using it pretty non stop for a few hours, but there is still a bug where battery life still drains quite a bit even when your Touchpad is in "sleep".

[Tj13ray]

nice video,looks cool

[MysteryUsernameX]

Great video, Keep up the good work :)
