I have done some searching but couldn't really find any good answers to my question.
I would like to know if it would be possible to have android honeycomb as the main boot os for my laptop which I would want to then link directly to my TV for the picture output.
Has anyone ever tried anything like this?
How do i go about it if it is possible, I have read about the android live CD boot for PC's but these look old, will they work for Honeycomb, and wouldn't it be better to have it directly running from the harddrive.
Another concern of mine is would honeycomb os on a PC use the mouse and keyboard inputs with no touchscreen being possible / available, and would the USB / cdrom, TV outputs, wireless and network cards etc all be recognised and useable by Honeycomb?
That's a very good idea, I'd like to know more about this

For such purpose (Android as TV set top box) I would rather use some Hardware like i.e. BeagleBoard. There's also an Android port available (http://code.google.com/p/rowboat/) which is currently running FroYo. I'm sure there will also be Gingerbread, Honeycomb, etc. in the future.
I would rather not purchase new hardware if I don't need to. I have this laptop doing nothing and want to put it to use this way if possible.

I would like to know the answer for this question too
i'm a fan of bigscreen
i plan to purchase acer iconia 6120 dual screen laptop if somehow i can manage to get honeycomb installed on standard laptop
or maybe later with windows 8
hmmm, yummy
I think Honeycomb still needs to use the touchscreen now and then, even with a keyboard and mouse. You might want to try Chrome OS, since that's designed for laptops.
err, acer iconia 6120 is a dual touchscreen laptop
you got laptop hardware but both touchscreen with virtual keyboard
thats why i brought up honeycomb, since its touch based
and windows 8 prolly in the future
Since a view weeks there is an Acer Aspire One with Win 7 Starter and Android as dualboot.
Maybe it is now possible to get Android on standard Notebooks?!
cu, Gurry
iam realy interessted in this, so umpup:
is it possible to run a honeycomb as main boot on a laptop? because why booting win and co if u just wanna check some emails, vistit some websites and i dont know ( yeah i know u can do this all with your smartphone, but wouldnt it be exiting to have it on your laptop too ? )
I have an old laptop and would love to have Android running on it, also my TV is running a customized version of Linux, i wonder if it would be possible to incorporate Android OS into it too. It's a Philips TV and some of their newer models are Android based.
Last weekend I got some Toshiba netbook (Nvidia Tegra chipset) on my hands running Froyo. A normal screen (no touch) and a keyboard just like normal netbooks. It was a pain in the a** to work with. I don't think Honeycomb will change that, since it's optimized for tablets. However, a combination of a touchscreen and a hardware keyboard would be nice, though.
Anyway, it should be possible to run Android on x86 devices, too, but I don't see any point for doing so. Why not just install Ubuntu?
Hey guys. Im looking for a fast Rom with options to overclock the CPU and being able to play n64oid with wiimote and mhl/hdmi. I really would love to take cynogenmod but from what i have heard mhl doesnt work right now on it. and im dying to get n64oid work with multiplayer any thoughts of a good Rom or dö you think cynogen Will fix the mhl problem?
i think CM7 is the only rom out there that has bluetooth stacks that are compatible with the wiimote. maybe one day someone will make a hybrid Rom that will have the stock AOSP bluetooth stacks with sense UI
oooh so its the only.. hmm but as it seems now MHL/HDMI doesnt work on CM7.. its pity
Finally!
After hours of searching and trying and flashing and crying and crashing (such a poet, huh?) I finally made it!
Since I did a lot of research for this I thought that this could be helpful for people having the same intention!
Here we go!
I tried to use my Sensation XE as gaming console so that I can play over my flatscreen using my PS3 Sixaxis Controller. Since the Bluetooth Stack used in the Stock Sense ROM seems to be pretty messed up I had to choose another one. After using some Jelly Bean ROMs without Sense I found out that it's impossible to find a ROM with a working MHL output....pretty awkward!
So I wanted you to know, what you need to make it work!
At the moment I am using:
Android Revolution HD 6.8.0 XE by mike1986
combined with
3.0.16-Pyd-X-test3.8.1
Be aware to use Version 0.5.7 of the Sixaxis Controller App to make it work on a Sense ROM. At least this was my experience!
To sum it up:
ROM: Android Revolution HD 6.8.0 XE by mike1986
Kernel: 3.0.16-Pyd-X-test3.8.1
App: Sixaxis (can be found in the Play Store)
All you need now is a MHL-Cable and your favorite Emulator-App and games!
I hope, that this will help you a bit and that you will have the same fun playing PS1 and N64 Games on your TV over your mobile device as I do!
Cheers!
Sorry for my English!
Sounds good!
Maybe you can use something like this, so you won´t need an MHL cable, even though it´s a little bit pricey.
I think that isn't necessary since you can order an MHL-Cable which allows you to charge your phone while playing
That's interesting! I have an MHL cable but never used it much.
I am interested in knowing how many people bother with a ROM that lacks controller support.
For me, its the first thing I found out about a rom. Unfortunately, many developers don't see the need to post controller support in the main sections. I have to scroll through pages sometimes to find the answer.
Controller support is number one for me on this tablet. Gaming is the reason I chose this tablet over any other tablet. It makes very little sense to even bother with any roms that don't have it. IMO.
And some people purchase it because of the specs/price. Stock works just fine if you want to keep stock functionality, or just use the cm builds that have controller support. Also probably a better post for the Q/A section, not development.
By controller support I assume you mean Shield controller? Hooking up a PS3/PS4 controller is easier than changing diapers if you got root.
Well I've tried blisspop for a while, it kinda has support for the controller but from all the roms i've tried including CM, it's probably best to stick to stock with xposed and if you got the space, use multirom to dual boot the device. Custom roms just don't have the support for all the features the shield has, no game streaming, limited stylus support, limited shield controller support and the remote audio doesn't work at all. Basically if gaming is your primary use, use the stock rom.

I actually don't use this tablet for gaming, I just wanted a powerful, mostly stock Android tablet with an SD slot and unlocked bootloader for aosp/custom roms. I have tried a few other 7-8 inch tablets to replace this one but I ended up sticking with it (stock rom had some multitask lag / can't multitask for beans and custom roms are unstable-haven't tried zombipop tho).
I don't care if a rom lacks nvidia controller support.

^ This. I bought this device for general use, and to have something future-proof for a few years (unlike my last tablet that was stuck on 4.2 Jellybean). Never intended for the Nvidia controller.
As for the poll, I cannot really vote, since I am on a custom ROM that I didn't download (rather, rolled my own). I tried a build with the controller stuff in the vendor info, that just made the controller app crash over and over. I had to reboot, task kill the Controller app, then use TiBu to uninstall it. Whenever I get around to another build I will avoid the unofficial vendor stuff.
Since it was mentioned here, I may try Bliss in a little while as well.
Hello
I'm looking for the Android Tablet that has the best gaming features. I can't find the reviews that talk about that. Is anyone using the Android tablet with nice features? Which tablet can I prefer? and how do you feel about gaming modes?
Looking for the same. I'd like to upgrade from my nVidia Shield K1 as on stock it started running really poorly and Lineage OS has lost HWv ideo decoding and acceleration with the movie to 15.x. Trying to get something under $200 that will have community ROM support.
