Hello,
I'm looking for a vanilla Android image for the IDEAPAD TABLET A1 running Android 2.3. This unit is a factory image and my client would like all of the apps removed so that the end user will just be able to interact with the clients application. I'm still finding out if they want the USB or wireless to work. Let me know who is willing to work with me on this this, I have money for the image.

Root it, then remove the unnecessary apps.

I have an HP Touchpad that I purchased on Ebay that I can't seem to get activated through Webos. I want to install Android on the tablet as the primary OS and I would like to know both is there a way to bypass the first time user activation and install Android on the tablet and second if I will ever be able to use Webos in the future on the tablet? If you can get me the links to the files or information to complete the process I would greatly appreciate it. I am a noob so thanks for any help that I can get.

The webos activation server should still be working - Last week I went through the activation process again after resetting webos.
If you get your installation files on the touchpad, you should be fine even without activating it. Try to connect the touchpad as USB drive or in usb mode.

Hi. I'm having the same problem. I don't want or need WebOS. Did you get this running? Any tips you have? Thanks.
Hello guys,
So I have rooted my tablet and enjoyed the perks of rooting. I haven't rooted my phone yet because I am planning on buying another one but before I do that I want to ask something about rooting. I know that several people used LinuxDeploy and rooting to get Linux distro up and running. Just wondering if this would allow us to use desktop applications on an android device? I was thinking that since I do alot of analysis work for my engineering research projects that if I can use my phone to run some programming codes, matlab, CAD and maybe even OpenFoam? So I am wondering if rooting and using linux would allow me to fully utilize the SOC and maybe run desktop grade software when I am on the go or in a meeting showing something? Most vanilla andriod apps aren't robust enough to allow me to open and edit script files or 3d models/analysis data?
I want to attempt to try this on my nexus 7 (first generation) as a proof of concept?
Also if I use it for this purpose, can I still run my paid applications and google play services on a rooted device normally?
Thanks :laugh:

While you can run a Linux distro on an android device and even run some desktop applications anything heavy will generally not run or run very poorly so it depends on what applications you want to run and the power of your android device.
I'm excited about getting the Nvidia Shield and trying to put the Android OS on it. It looks so good together when you look at the videos on YouTube. What I would like to know is are the Google Play apps stable? With my current set-up I have to clear data or reinstall apps all the time. I have an M8 Android box. Are any of you having those kind of issues with the Shield? Also, just in case I lose heart because I'm terrified of bricking it, where do I find a place a to buy or send my Nvidia Shield to to install the Android OS? Does a legitimate place or person exist that does this? Ofcourse I would have to verify. Thanks.
Comes with Android OS already installed. Play store should be on there as well. Not anything you'd really have to do.

That is not a full Android OS the Nvidia Shield comes with, trust me. I just flashed the Full Android Nougat firmware from DroidMote and it's like night and day. The Android OS that comes with the Shield is very difficult to customize. You're limited to what Nvidia allows you to have. With the Full Android OS you are in total control of your console. You can put live wallpaper, customize the homescreen to whatever look you want, and lots more.
Hello everyone i have a question for you that will make a choice for me to root/modify/upgrade (or whatever you guys doing) my tablet or just leave it alone.
First of all i have a Motorola Xoom 2 Media Edition tablet running Android 4.0.4. I have software and hardware experience on pc windows and linux but not so much on android.
My main problem with my tablet is its running Android 4.0.4 and when i tried to install apps (especially multimedia apps like netflix , bein connect and youtube) it says my device is not compatible. And in general my tablet feels slower to when i bought it first time about 5 years ago.
My questions are;
1-Would i be able to upgrade android to newer editions at least android 5.0.0? I am asking this because my phone has android 5.0.0 and i have no problems with apps as of now.
2-If i root/modify android can i run apps like netflix and youtube or there are more problems waiting?
3-Would modifying help the speed of tablet or would it slow it down even more? Like trying to install windows 8 on a windows xp level of pc.
I'm asking these because i dont want to spend days just to find out it was not the answer i was looking for.
I hope i made myself clear please add any suggestion or roadmaps for a newbie like me. Thanks in advance.
Technically rooting doesn't allow you to upgrade your version of Android, it's the custom recovery you install that does. If there's a custom ROM out there that supports your old tablet it will work. Youtube is unaffected by root and I don't think Netflix is either. Finally, rooting technically could help the speed of your tablet if you change things like disabling fsync or running TRIM, but rooting itself doesn't change performance. Just be warned that there might not be a Lollipop or newer custom rom for your tablet!
Does anyone have an experience with this tablet? It runs Windows and Android. I was wondering if there was any way to wipe it out and load any custom firmware or even stock for that matter. I would need to be able to bypass any Google and Windows verifications that are needed to restore the factory default. It was a Verizon tablet for employees. It's not stolen but they don't want it back. I was just hoping to be able to use it in some fashion. I don't care if I can get it to run Windows and Android or just one or the other. Any advice would be much obliged thank you.
