[Q] General Android 2.2 question. - General Questions and Answers

Hi all.
Currently using:
WM8650 7" tablet with CM7 (so android 2.2).
Is there any way of getting rid of the extra screens?
I primarily use it as a media player/book reader and these extra screens are just an annoyance.

There has to be a way ~ Generic android tablet 1.6 to 2.1?

7 inch tablet with OS 1.6, 1.3MP camera
other specs: model number: generic
kernal version: 2.629-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty
build number: WMT2.1-88
ANHUB A876 7 inch, VIA VT8505+ ARM926 533MHz
I want 2.1 OS. I have modded the Wii and unlocked a few phones so I am literate in this sense.
Willing to start off from scratch and create a custom system for this tablet.
I want to be able to use live wallpaper, use some sms programs, download from youtube, play more advanced games, as well as other things.
I'm listening in on this..really interested too
Herp Derp?
First off, with a device with only 533 mhz of processing power, live wallpapers probably aren't gonna be viable without making it so that your tablet will barely run. The reason why 2.1 isn't available on these generic tablets is the same (or very similar), your tablet just isn't powerful enough. While there is probably a way to put 2.1 on these things, you probably won't enjoy your android experience anymore.

[Q] Most flexible Android tablet? (run multiple OS version easily, from SD card?)

My office is looking to buy a few tablets to test our apps/sites on, and I'm looking for suggestions on which Android Tablet is the most flexible in terms of running different versions of Android (and maybe where to better post this question?)
One thing i love aboot my HTC HD2, is that i can switch to various ROMs from the SD card on the fly, which makes it brilliant for testing things like HTML5 video on different Android versions. Is there a tablet like that?
Looking forward to some suggestions, thanks.

[Q] HP Stream 7 Tablet

Hello everyone,
I just recently received an HP stream 7 tablet running windows 8.1 and am wondering how or if it is possible to run android on this device? I have already tried using Intel's open source Android with no luck, I did everything per the instructions from "makeuseof" to the best of my abilities, disable secure boot...etc. Just looking for a bit of help as i really do not like windows, and would very much like to utilize this tablet.
Thanks in advance,
Cheers

[Q] Help me pick an Android/Windows TV stick

Hi,
I want to get a computer on a stick(like a Chromecast) that can dualboot Windows and Android. I would prefer for there to be active Android development for the stick, or, at the minimum, a user-made ROM available.
Thanks!

running a (linux) distro on top on android?

Hi,
I'm looking for a new tablet the idea is to have a linux based environment as the main ui, usage will mostly be web browsing media playback and file management the occasional linux program.
why? short version I want a desktop touch experience somewhat similar to what I get out of my windows 8 tablet but without the Microsoft part.
one method I have seen seems to be the chroot ubunto running on top on android and I was wondering if anyone could help with a few questions please?
1/is it possible to use without needing VNC? (not a fan of having to vnc into the local desktop)
2/any performance hits running a linux system on top of an android one? (other than vnc)
3/its running on top of android so it should have full hardware support with any device right? it isn't going to use the touch screen as a track pad right?
4/recommend any devices I might have luck with? looking around maybe $70ish price range with supported rooting/modding.
5/is it actually there? I mean does it work? Im going to assume if it could be done people (someone at least) would be doing it already ?
thanks

*edited*
after many days *cough* 10 minute sections where I had nothing better todo* I messed around and finally got the x server working.
it isn't accelerated (and stopped working after I tried to change base distro)
the x wrapper felt slower than VNC.
the dpi is kind of messed up the UI isn't made for it.
the touch screen works like a track pad (urg)
the keyboard erm where is the keyboard? (don't answer that)
for some reason they went and put this really neat tilt thing that moves the mouse around but lacks other things(acceleration?)
I could maybe pass as a really slow desktop if it were hooked upto a usb hub keyboard mouse and hd screen.
I still think it is an amazing feat it just isn't there. it is not usable for day to day tasks, install it for fun with vnc to show your friends you have "linux" installed on your tablet/phone, use it to run scripts / tools on the go you wouldn't normally have access to but that's about the extent to its usefulness, you aren't going to be playing games in it, doing heavy browsing streaming video or even playing sound.
tldr I got no feedback from anyone with experience but from what I gather it isn't going to replace android os on your tablet.
guess I will probably look for a tablet that runs linux native or suck it up and get a vanilla droid tablet and forget about switching out the UI/OS this way
