I have recently been looking around for a decent community forum to take part in that focuses on the Viewsonic's Viewpad 7 and Viewpad 10, I am mainly interested in the 10 as this is the one I own, however they should probably be in the same section.
The viewpad 7 is a 7 inch froyo tablet and the viewpad 10 is an intel atom based device that dual boots win7(i realise you dont generally deal with devices with this os) and android 1.6.
These devices have only been around a short time and already have some development activity, Al sutton has put together a version of froyo for the viewpad 10
So could we get a new forum for these devices please?
viewpad 10
Does anyone have one of these?? My wife has one and would like to know what development if any has started on this.. like getting 2.2 as the android operating system instead of 1.6.
did you read my post?
I directly linked to the current 2.2 android froyo build for the viewpad check the link in the original post.
viewpad 10
Hi guys good day anyway i just bought a viewpad 10 and do anyone know how to remove the android os from the viewpad cause i only need the window os ??
Since you guys have bought one, I have a doubt.
Does the GPS works in Windows or atleast in Android ?
Does the Viewpad 10 has 3G ?
i have a viewpad 7
Hey guys, it would be great to have a dedicated forum for viewpad 7/10.
I have the 7" froyo since 2 weeks by now, its great!
I would love to see an android x86 forum (typing on viewpad 10 right now).. I love the pad in Windows mode but limitations android 1.6 on atom processors is awful. There is a clear need for xda-devs to embrace tablets as the two techs converge.
To answer the question of how to remove Android, I would boot into a linux live environment and delete the android partition, then increase the size of the windows partition. Obvious need to back up data beforehand!
Hi, how are you supposed to installed Windows 7 Service Pack onto the ViewPad 10.
It only has a 16GB hard drive, and the Windows 7 requirement is 16GB of free space.
After downloading the service pack I have 30MB left!, The pad cannot install the service pack.
Is this an oversight on Viewsonic's part?

Hi there
It seems to me that a dedicated forum on the viewpad is a good thing.
I just got an Azpen X1, which seems to be the same as the Viewpad 10. It has an Atom N455 CPU, and Win7 and Android 2.2 installed. The 16GB hard drive ran out of space when I did the first update!!
I too am looking for some place to discuss this tablet. I opened it up and took some pics of it. They can be seen here:

Yes they look really similar from the inside point of view. Changes should be upgrade of memory and upgrade in space disk. Could it be possible to insert a standard SSD inside ? Cheaper and bigger...

Not sure that it would be much cheaper, even if it would fit.
I found an exact replacement, but 32GB and 64GB sizes.

http://buy4ssd.com/shop/80-kingspec-sata-ii-motive-ssd-mlc-nand-flash-32gb.html
The 64GB one costs $162, where a standard one sells for $140 at NewEgg:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139286
The sizes of the two, to compare:
Kinspec SSD Module:
W:1.5" x L:2.1" (39mm x 54mm)
Kingston 1.8" SSD:
W:2.1" x L:3.1" (53.1mm x 78.7mm)
I ordered the 32GB version from buy4ssd. It seems to be coming from Hongkong, so I hope that I actually get it!!
Honeycomb 3.2-x86
For those that prefer to use Android, there seems to be a 3.2 version for x86:
http://code.google.com/p/android-x86/downloads/list
It is listed as being for the Tega v2, but that appears to be very similar to the Viewpad 10 and Azpen X1:

My tablet has a 1GB partition with Android 2.2 on it. I'm not sure if it it is big enough for the 3.2 version.
Edit: I burned a CD and booted it in Live mode. It seemed to run pretty good on my Azpen X1. I used a USB CD drive to boot it.

Do you want to use the Android partition for Windows? You would need to do that inside of Windows.
I don't use Windows, so I can't help much. Look in the Administrative Tools section for Disk Manager. Windows doesn't support the filesystem that Android uses, so it will be listed as "unknown", or something like that.
Edit: In the Windows menu, type "Computer Management" in the search bar. When that comes up, select "Disk Management" on the left. Choose the partition you want to delete, right-click and select "Delete Volume...". Then right-click the Windows partition and select "Extend Volume...".
Make sure you don't delete the wrong partition!!
And I'm honestly thinking about getting the Grid10. The Grid10 + case + USB cable is still $20 less than the Transformer (without a case, or the dock), which was the other tablet I'm considering.
Is there any reason I shouldn't get the Grid10? Better price point for similar specs. It can sideload Android APKs, and it uses the Amazon App Store, and the OS is something that really seems to flow nicely in all the hands on videos I've seen.
Since it's based on the Android kernel, it won't be another Playbook or Touchpad, since all Android apps theoretically work on the Grid10. The only thing I'm worried about is all the negative comments I've been reading about Fusion Garage and their previous tablet. I already know I'd enjoy an Android tablet.
I am currently the owner of an original Galaxy Tab, so really, anything is an upgrade at this point (Not having a tablet OS on a tablet is really awful)
This will be my next tablet, I have been watching the Grid10 for a while now. It looks smooth and responsive to the touch. I currently own the touchpad and an Android tablet. I am planning on getting the 3g version. Fast enough for me.
On the @FusionGarage twitter, I asked a few qustions that I've been unable to find answers to:
"@FusionGarage Quick question, is the usb cable a must? Can you sync/transfer files via wifi? "
Reply: "@steckums We are currently working on an application that will sync your content via WiFi, but right now you need the USB cable. "
"@FusionGarage Good to hear. One more: how compatible is it with Android APKs? Is it essentially able to sideload any (honeycomb!?) app?"
Reply: "@steckums Yes, you can sideload any Android app, including Honeycomb apps."
Off Topic
does anyone here have modded rom for this china tablet
APAD2 with call function
i am planning to buy by the end of the month and i want it flashed with better firmware.
please someone help me
So I have heard that GridOS is based on android 2.3. If that is the case how are they running any honeycomb apps? My guess is that older versions of GridOS (pre-production) were based on 2.3 and the production version is based on honeycomb. What are other people's thoughts on this?
I bought the wifi only version - it should arrive tomorrow. I've just read a less than stunning review from Engadget though, so now I'm leery...
Hi I just intalled cyanogemod 7.1 on my touchpad. However the "Device Info" field shows I have only 850mb. This is a 64gig Touchpad. What happened to the rest of the space? Thanks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19958050#post19958050
I refuse to give you an answer double poster.
This should also be in the Touchpad forum. You would get better help there
The 850 MB are the RAM i guess. Mine have 854 @ device info.
Anyone know when CM11 is comming out? I need the real info about it.
I recently installed the latest CM on my hp touchpad and it's really running really laggy and slow. Also the camera is always upside down when using the tango app. Is there a stable cm that I can use?
Disclaimer: I searched the forums using LumePad, Lume, Lume Pad, Leia, and LPD-10W and got zero search results.
Does anyone know if there's any development or info on what's been tried for development on the Leia Lume Pad?
It's an 11" 3D lightfield tablet with a snapdragon 845, 8gb, 128gb.
I purchase one for relatively cheap during Amazon prime day for something to replace my Nexus 7. It's been a nice tablet so far, but it's stuck on Android 10 and my Nexus 7 running lineage 17 is somewhat limited on what it can do... Because it's a 10-year-old tablet.
If anyone has any suggestions on where to find information and if there's been any development started on this tablet, that would be nice. Getting something like lineage 19 or 20 would be fantastic.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Am wanting to root it wondering if it could be possible
