[ANDROID] How to Install Gingerbread 2.3.5 on HP Touchpad - Touchdroid Build

reverendkjr · Sep 9, 2011

Big happenings recently in the Touchpad realm. Touchdroid, one of the groups who was developing Android for the HP Touchpad, has decided to release a dump of their build, along with instructions on how to install it. I have recorded my own installation in hopes that others might benefit from it.

Two things:

1. Please follow the steps listed here http://touch-droid.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2

2. Be aware that this is not the Cyanogenmod version, and there are a few items that are not quite working yet.

Here is the link to the video:

Happy Flashing!

Now, the usual disclaimer: If this bricks your Touchpad.... bummer, dude.

Also, I am aware that an amazing build will eventually be released from Cyanogen. I am excited about this. The touchdroid build is just to tinker with.

:::UPDATE:::

If you want to uninstall this, here is a video explaining how:

agreed. Even if their devteam is knowledgeable I will not install their port because of the logs I've read.

This is the beginning of it all...^^ Android is damn near now... thx!

Please keep in mind that this build is incomplete and buggy. That being the case, this is only recommended to those that care less about the source (we already know all about that) and more about tinkering with it. Use it if you like, but keep the arguments out. Thanks.

Interesting, although its VERY incomplete. I can only surmise that this is a "just to get it out there" kind of thing.

Flood of newb installers complaining that it isn't working in

The comments on the video are already entertaining.

People, if you don't have any idea what this is, where it comes from, or why it's being posted..... DON'T INSTALL IT!!!!

If some idiot (me

) puts a video on the intertubes, it does NOT mean that you need to follow it. Watch it, learn from it, but if you don't like the outcome.....DON'T INSTALL IT!!!!!

Also, I total get why people bail from giving even the smallest amount of help to others. Nobody asked me to do this video, I just saw a need for it and made it. And... I'll do it again once cyanogen's stuff comes out for it.

Haters gonna hate, I guess.

How did you go back to previous screen without back button?

Also does anyone know if once the CM version is released the flashing process might be a little easier for the average user? I am not too comfortable with entering commands everywhere. reverend made it look easy because he was obviously familiar with entering command prompts. Either way I will be attempting it, just thought I would ask.

CM's release will be soon enough and will be fool proof. Unless you're reasonably familiar with the Linux terminal and ADB you're probably better off waiting. There's not much properly working on this version. You'll install it, play for ten minutes and them have to go back to waiting for a proper release. This is pre-alpha.

you can see he shot over adb commands

after have following the drama, around the stolen/lost code, I really think people should stop there personal [mod edit], and focus on getting android to the tp. As I see it this, android dump, is touchdrods way of saing: We [mod edit] up, and we are sorry. I also understand that they are stopping the project. So lets all stop the flaming, and wait for the CM, or another teams build! Just my 5 cents

Whats the point of tinkering with the Touchdroid build when the team has disbanded. I would stay away from this build since the CyanogenMod seems to be way ahead of the Touchdroid team anyways.

issent the point, that other teams can see touchdrods build, and use what they can from it. Like small twinks and stuff like that.

So, I'm going to try to bring this thread back on topic so,

for those of you still navigating using adb or whatever, Button Savior works great. Download it, adb install it.

JupiterdroidXDA · Sep 10, 2011

Has anyone tried to install the back and home buttons from an app on the market yet?

Edit: I see button saviour works, niceeee
