alexalex Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 The CyanogenMod team has released a new build of Google Android for the HP TouchPad. The tablet originally shipped with webOS 3.0 software, but last month a group of developers successfully ported Google Android to run on HP?s discontinued tablet. CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3 includes a number of updates and bug fixes, including: The ?sleep of death? problem which caused the tablet to fail to resume from sleep should be gone. WiFi should work better. There?s preliminary support for the HP TouchPad 4G. The status bar should use fewer system resources when running full screen apps. This is still an alpha build, and it?s still a bit rough around the edges. For instance, the camera has been improved, but it still doesn?t work very well when you?re running Android. If you?re installing CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3 from scratch on a TouchPad tablet running webOS, you?ll want to grab the new ROM from the RootzWiki forum and then follow our step-by-step instructions. The latest ROM is called update-cm-7.1.0-tenderloin-a3-fullofbugs-signed.zip........ http://liliputing.com/2011/11/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-7-1-android-alpha-3-on-the-hp-touchpad.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyfabulous Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Think I am going to hold out for CM9 or at least a stable CM7 release. I tried Alpha 2.1 and found it a little too rough around the edges to be a daily driver and restored my TP to webOS only. Funny thing is I am finding I really love webOS, its a shame its toast. How are you finding Alpha 3 release? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1520 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I think i'll probably wait for android 4.0 port, though i am tiring of the buggy web browser etc in web os. If a stable build appears that simplifies the install process i'll put cm7 on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I like WebOS on the device. I wish there was a way to run Android apps within cards, I heard about that. To me that sounds ideal! Run WebOS as the main OS, with the flexibility of running Android apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
