Guest StuMcBill Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Just wondered what the thoughts were on this? I know Honeycomb is not open source, but there are various tablets which have had a Honeycomb port. I know the AndyPad team will be working on an Ice Cream Sandwich port once the source is released, but if I know the Android community it won't be long until someone is trying to hack Honeycomb onto it! I am not sure if there is any Tablets with a port, which has similar hardware to the AndyPad - anyone have any ideas? Stew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew IF I decide to buy one Ill give it ago, itll either be a SDK port or one from another device, A couple other forum members have also said they would be interested. Im just having trouble saving for one atm ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuMcBill Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 If I had any idea where to begin, I would help you, but alas I am clueless!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Simon O Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 It will have to be ported from another device with a similar CPU like the Viewpad 7x. Also it will probably only support the Andypad Pro.. the normal Andypad has too small screen resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lilHermit Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 I'm going to start by getting 2.3.4 compiled from source. I've had my Pro for a few weeks now but been working on other projects for the Andypad team. I've got a few things to work on then I'll see what I can muster up with the aide of Paul. ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have been told that the AndyPad team isn't allowed to upload it yet, but it doesn't seem that you're on it. Unless you are.. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sami Beck Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Unless you get some hardcore dev's it will never happen, EVER. Even if it does itll be nothing like a proper honeycomb tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newbe5 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 The AP-Pro is a single-core processor still correct? Also, you will never see HC on the AndyPad Standard, the pro is a MAYBE. Skimming the specs, you might get away with it, but you'll be wanting a similar device to port from which you might well struggle with (on a single core A8 which I believe this is). Never say never, but to get it working correctly the Kernel will need a lot of work. To be honest with the array of tablets on the market right now, there is becoming less and less room for Non-HC tabs. AndyPad have got around this by making it REALLY cheap (although the refurb Vega's from PC World are now only £140). If you bought one of these with the hopes of having HC to make it the device you want, you may well be disappointed, as while it's not a good idea to say NEVER to these things, the amount of work vs. the reward is very high (trust me ;) ) The shame of it is, that HC has officially killed all non-HC tablets, as developers now won't bother creating nice tablet apps that support anything lower than HC :( newbe5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
