Official HP TouchPad Tablet Thread (just getting ready!)
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
Ever since the (now) affordable HP TouchPads have hit the market, people have been trying to their best to get Android ported to one of these bad boys. There’s even a $1,500 bounty for anyone that can get working versions of the OS onto the TouchPad. Now a few videos have surface from users who claim to have it already up and running on HP’s bastard tablet.
The first comes to us from a user on YouTube who claims he will not only have Android 2.3 Gingerbread up and running on his HP TouchPad, but also provide a video tutorial on how others can make it happen on August 24th. That’s not all, he also claims to have Android 3.0 Honeycomb running on the TouchPad by August 26th. I remain skeptical seeing how the source for Honeycomb hasn’t been released but it’s hard to deny anything with such an epic music score in his teaser trailer.
Our next video comes to us from a user on YouTube who claims his coworker’s HP TouchPad shipped with Android 2.2.1 pre-installed and he’s looking for answers. They have no idea how it wound up like but in the video you see a boot logo for QuIC otherwise known as, Qualcomm Innovation Center. Wait- so this is Qualcomm’s doing?! The plot thickens…
Interests are definitely piquing with the internet’s attempt at getting Android onto this failed tablet with some pretty great hardware. I for one have bought into the HP TouchPad hype (it could make a great stocking stuffer) and am currently scouring the internets in hopes of finding one. What do you guys think? Could these videos be legit?

I've had mine for a little over a week now and I'm loving it. I've converted about 15 DVDs and loaded them to the Touchpad. I've installed some homebrew apps and tweaked it to make it faster. And I've overclocked it from 1.2GHz to 1.7GHz. If anyone is interested, most of the instructions are here and it is all fairly simple to do (enter at your own risk however): http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/293028-new-touchpad-heres-your-get-started-guide.html

Holding down the power button doesn't prompt for shutdown. you
have to go thru devices/reset options or hold down the power button
and the button that minimizes the window for 15secs
what mods have u done so far?
only the mods to remove the logging features.
currently i'm using it for reading/browsing before bed.
is that the one where you access the dialpad?
yes, along with the preware patches.
cool I was worried cause just before u confirm it says you cannot go back and change this
thanx
