The AndroTouch.
[TouchPad Development] Surfy89:
Looks good, not far from a stable version I suppose :P Looking forward to a dual boot :-D
[TouchPad Development] Bandage:
In case you HAVEN'T noticed...this IS the Development Thread for Android on the TouchPad IN the Development Sub-Forum. Should be kept to input as such. Mods will clean it up, no matter.
[TouchPad Development] dsixda:
Hope this helps, I have posted to the main RootzWiki thread with some of my stuff -- info on the boot and system images, and I've included a flashable Android ROM (untested) which requires a custom recovery:

I should hopefully be getting my Touchpad in on Saturday, unfortunately BB chose the slowest possible method of shipping.

Let me know how I can help, I'm extremely excited to start delving into the dump and see what treasure can be pulled out. Thankfully with all this forward momentum in the community and development it should only be a matter of weeks for a gingerbread port!

I hate to say this because I love my Galaxy 10.1 tab but the TP development is far more exciting.
[TouchPad Development] XDAnoobr:
Rootzwiki seems to be on track to port Android on the TouchPad
[TouchPad Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Well that's where everything is happening, go here to see links and info on what is happening.
[TouchPad Development] ttf:
Nothing is happening or will happen, except a bunch of 15 years old claiming they know and have it all.

All serious devs are working on their own version right now.

Don't get me wrong, it's just what i expected, so no surprise or bad feeling for me ;). you have nothing to expect from the so called "touchdroid" team or the other "androtouch".

Expect it to come from some anonymous and serious guys, and we all know XDA is the place to found them ;).
[TouchPad Development] Hamspiced:
your quotes are fuel for the fire that is setting these things back. you realize that xda is nothing more but a forum, just like rootzwiki and android forums. its just a collaboration of people.

touch-droid is the same collaboration of people, but focused on porting this build over. look at the devs that are working on this. Damageless, The guy that ported the sensation dump, these are well known devs, who call home to MANY android forums.

this isnt a c**k swinging contest. this is a group of people pooling their knowledge to help people like you me and the other people on this forum. So please stop berating the other good forums around here, and unless you have something better to say regarding development, or better yet. Knowledge on how to get the touchscreen working on the port, then be a little more respectable as a xda forum member.

If i am a bit out of line here, please feel free to pm me. but its a bit aggravating to see this pettyness day after day.
[TouchPad Development] ttf:
Don't be mad, no need to. You right it's all about collaboration and i'm around since enough time to know what the word mean, i also saw enough people of that kind around, i mean they are making a lot of noise during the Buzz -trying to get donations or hardware and as soon the buzz is gone they desappear.

I don't say what i said randomly, or trolling in some way, trust me.
[TouchPad Development] Colchiro:
Then you should see the B&N Nook Color with CM7 on it. Many of these devs helped to develop that and it's definitely a table os. :D
[TouchPad Development] Matthileo:
The OS May be tablety goodness, but it still won't support the tablet versions of apps. Unless I'm wrong?

[sent from my droid]
[TouchPad Development] benrees21:
Yea but it is not optimized for tablets + no tablet apps. Obviously I will put gingerbread on if it means it's easier to upgrade to ICS when that's out. Just seems like a backwards step going from a tablet os to a mobile os.

Searched and didn't see this information linked anywhere, but may have missed it. Apologies in advance if someone has already posted this.

Can't link it yet since I'm a noob here, but Google "Creating Custom Drivers for the Snapdragon APQ8060 DragonBoard."

You will find a PDF file.

Included in this PDF:

"The Android Release available for the APQ8060 is:

– Android 2.3.3_r1 (Gingerbread)

– Linux Kernel 2.6.35-7

• The Android Source Code Release downloaded from :

Interesting. Anyone know this guy?
[TouchPad Development] pulser_g2:
Don't know him... But I have built that Gingerbread image per those instructions...

If only the "warring factions" would start developing for real, and we could perhaps start to make some proper progress...
[TouchPad Development] :
Copied from the above pdf: http://www.uplinq.com/sites/default/files/images/Snapdragon-Lab-Creating-Custom-Drivers.pdf

The Android Release available for the APQ8060 is:

– Android 2.3.3_r1 (Gingerbread)

– Linux Kernel 2.6.35-7

• The Android Source Code Release downloaded from :

The problem with this is that although it will build Gingerbread, it is for the BSqaure product "DragonBoard" which is not the board in the HP Touchpad, but it may have some value perhaps as that board shares the APQ8060 processor (same as the Touchpad).

Do android 2.3.x apps actually detect screen resolution? Do launchers etc detect it as a tablet or a phone and do programs like opera mobile go into tablet mode if you're not running honeycomb?
[TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
I dont think so. If you check the market the phone apps have a different version for tablets.

[TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
The progress you see in the video is actually days old, they just posted it now cause they need to draw attention so people can help them get their hands in few touchpads since there are few of their developers sitting there without one to work with. That means they are probably closer to the goal, main problem now is the touchscreen

[TouchPad Development] Sushibagel:
Nice!

This is great to see that there's been some real progress. I'm especially happy that they are working for dual boot as I think it'll be nice to at least have the option to use WebOs if I choose. I just wish I had some TouchPads I could donate to the cause because I would definitely like to see this happen for us soon.

For those people who bought like 4+

You should donate to CM so work can be actually done and this port can really start going.
[TouchPad Development] pulser_g2:
This.

Heck, if they were to sell one of them at cost + shipping, to one of the cm guys, their other ones would actually make them more, since android on touchpad will likely increase its long term value a bit...

And it's called being nice :)
[TouchPad Development] advocate2:
If I donate a TP, do I get it back eventually?
[TouchPad Development] Itaintrite:
When is eventually? ;p The teams never stop working heh.

I wouldn't mind donating a couple of bucks to help them get one from eBay (or CL...).
[TouchPad Development] Itaintrite:
But but.. they can keep that one and sell with Android for even more profit!

Just kidding. I said this in the other thread too, but I'll repeat myself here. If Cyanogen team makes a chip-in account, I will be more than happy to... chip-in so they can purchase one from eBay or wherever. 16GBs go for around $200 on CL here (NY).

It will most probably get bricked/unusable since they are experimenting a lot. Talk to them via email or in twitter for more info

c'mon: Touchscreen not working, colors not working, ....

that is the same state all other groups are stuck in. so its not like cm is rescuing us all. they are just another boat in the race.

cm just released this to get some attention to call for devices.

if there wasnt this bounty maybe devs would work together and spread knowledge and we alle just could have perfect android on our devices. :/

If you donate, it should definitely be with the expectation of not having the device returned.

What if anyone who has one, could the CM team show them how to do it and they can test it, perhaps a guide or take new developer under wings who has one.
[TouchPad Development] pukemon:
And many android users are ungrateful of the work done, paid or free. Many people come to forums like xda and want some piddly ass app because its inconvenient for them to do something manually, which is a few taps on a screen. And then, not to mention, rom requests like they're entitled to it because they bought an android phone. If anything, I wish some devs would take the time to teach some of the art of coding, rather zipping or scripting for us. I ask a dumb question or request every once in awhile, but I try and help too. Whether its to "use the damn search bar" or look over there. I kind of hope android bombs on the touchpad and webos gets a second chance at life. I don't have any experience with webos, but I know enough people that it was great like symbian was for its time and could bring some innovation/worth copying to the table.

I'm with you. As much as I love Android and hate iOS, I'm going to enjoy WebOS until a stable build has arrived.

I'm guilty of that as much as anyone.
[TouchPad Development] amenditman:
I've set a personal record lately. Once I got my Atrix set up and hacked, and the webtop2sd working properly, I've pretty much not done anything else but USE it.

Nice! It's cool that there are a number of teams working on this. I've used this site for all my WinMo and Android modding for several years. Was one of the lucky people that snagged a Touchpad in the firesale and I can't wait to have Android on it.

I have to say that WebOS is actually pretty good. Unfortunately the app selection is weak. This thing with Honecomb or Ice Cream Sandwhich is going to be AWESOME!

My email didn't say that. It said I can get 2 for 99 if I buy $100 in accessories. Just kidding. But I did read an interesting article earlier today. It said hp is going to produce more. To get rid of back inventory of parts though. Not to revive hardware or os.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[TouchPad Development] muyoso:
I think there may be confusion. HP has already probably paid or contracted for the production of a certain number more of the HP Touchpads before they decided to kill them off. So since they already paid for them essentially or are under contract to pay for them, they are actually producing more probably until mid september. Someone much more knowledgeable then me was talking about this over at Slickdeals.
[TouchPad Development] pukemon:
From what I read, touchpad part manufacturers are sitting on parts. Hp doesn't want to piss them off. Hp says build more touchpads so they don't lose money and hp doesn't lose their ass.

And the hits just keep on coming from HP - From the WSJ

Losing $207 a Pop, H-P Brings Back Its iPad Rival

By IAN SHERR

The TouchPad is dead. Long live the TouchPad.

Hewlett-Packard Co. said it will temporarily resume manufacturing of its ill-fated tablet computer just 11 days after killing its iPad rival as part of a sweeping corporate overhaul.

The resurrection of the TouchPad follows a spike in demand after H-P, desperate to clear out unsold inventory that had piled up at retailers, slashed the price of the low-end model from $399 to $99.

The decision to discontinue the TouchPad came less than two months after the tablet first went on sale in July, but made little traction against Apple Inc.'s iPad despite an earlier 20% price drop. H-P executives said sales were too weak to justify continued investment.

H-P didn't say what it would charge for the new batch of TouchPads, but cautioned potential buyers there might not be enough to go around.

"We don't know exactly when these units will be available or how many we'll get," H-P spokesman Mark Budgell wrote on a company blog. "We can't promise we'll have enough for everyone." The company said it is pleased by the response it has gotten so far.

On Aug. 20, H-P inadvertently created a TouchPad boom when it dropped the price of the device. The move generated an Internet phenomenon—with Twitter users sharing tips on websites were it was still in stock—and long lines at retailers, including Best Buy Co., as consumers jostled to pick up a $99 TouchPad.

The decision to manufacture a second run, however, left analysts scratching their heads. The introductory model of the TouchPad costs $306 to manufacture, according to an estimate from research firm IHS iSuppli, suggesting a loss of roughly two-thirds if it is sold for $99.

Sterne Agee analyst Shaw Wu said the temporary return of the TouchPad was likely a poorly thought-through decision.

"They did a lot of these moves in haste," Mr. Wu said. He said the move will likely create confusion among customers and application developers, which H-P is still trying to woo.

H-P's temporary reversal comes in the midst of a strategic overhaul that will focus the company on software and services. As part of the change, H-P decided to stop making the TouchPad and other hardware running its webOS software. It is also looking to spin off its computer business, the world's biggest.

The company hasn't said what it will do with the group that manages the webOS software, which was acquired with smartphone maker Palm Inc. for $1.2 billion in 2010. The company has said it was investigating ways to continue using webOS.
