I hope it happens (android on the TP), won't care if it doesn't.

Truth is, I've always felt that webOS was a more polished/better OS than android, but android built momentum early and quickly. Something Palm/HP could never build or deliver on.

Bought the TP thinking I'd run webOS on it. Was happy to hear a group of people got together to build android for it. Too bad honeycomb source hasn't been released ...

You can fake anything in a video, especially one with such low resolution. Since the whole premise of it coming like that from HP is ridiculous, it will take more than a video to convince me.

Instead of porting Android to the Touchpad, why can't some of these developers make android apps compatible with Webos? Seems like it would be less work involved and I would love to continue using Webos.
[TouchPad Development] linkinpark4175:
Ya, lets just port all the apps from the android market to the WebOS app store, cause its less work
[TouchPad Development] sdittmar:
I think it's far less work, in the long run, to port the OS to the HW than it is to port each app to the OS. Once the OS is on the Touchpad, EVERY Android app can run on it, vs having to port every single app one at a time. There are what, a few hundred thousand apps? Plus, the OS is open source while the apps may or may not be.

How to fake running Android on a Touchpad

Step 1

Buy a touchpad, a cheap chinese tablet with android 2.2 and hdmi out, get a computer which can record hdmi output.

Step 2

Edit the build.prop of the chinese tablet with codenames to give it legitamacy

Step 3

Figure out how long it takes this chinese tablet to turn on and run the tasks you want to fake

Step 4

While recording the video output of the chinese tablet, do some basic tasks, take note of how long it takes to do these tasks.

Step 5

Edit the recording to have a legitimate looking boot animation at the beginning (hp logo qualcomm, etc) as well as a 10 to 15 second delay at the beginning to account for pressing the power button

Step 6

move the recording onto the touchpad

Step 7

Use a cheap camcorder to record yourself as the video plays on the touchpad. At first pretend to press the power button then pretend to release. Next, repeat the actions you performed on the chinese tablet on the screen of the touchpad, if you press a button a little early don't worry people will just think the touchscreen messed up.

[TouchPad Development] stuart_f:
This makes no sense. Android is open source and free - yes. But HTC port Android onto their own devices and sell them to make money and nobody screams about that.

The problem here is that the guy DID NOT port Android onto his device, it just turned up that way and now he wants to make money from his piece of luck.

Also, for those asking why he doesn't claim the bounty, go and read the terms of the bounty again. You must produce instructions to allow the average user to install it on their device. Simply having a working device is not enough to claim the money.

apparently it is easy to get root access to the Linux kernel for web OS

anybody know if its possible to remove webOS UI and install the android software/UI/window manager ontop of the already installed OEM Linux kernel,

in the desktop world the difference between red hat and debian is the packages installed the window manager and the kernel version exc so if WebOS is already running on the linux kernel in theory we remove the web os packages and install the android packages.

The packages would probably have to be configured for the HP Touchpad though

If cyanogen or miui worked on this they would not have these same quarrels and could probably get a working build. Another idea might be to start development with android x86 as a base?

Posted here for side discussion.

Don't get me wrong guys. HC is a good platform, but with no source and ICS around the corner, I personally think there's no point to try and persuade the devs to run something other than GB at the moment since source is available and stable builds are possible.

For example, the Nook Color HC builds are working, but buggy without a source to work with.

For the benefit of everything in the long run, I think HC should be forgotten about in favor of GB and ICS unless a source is released.
