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?
Soo I saw that video of the person who had been shipped a test touchpad with the android OS so I'm really hoping that breaks this whole thing wide open. But I was thinking back to an old HP product on was wondering if it could help? I'm referring to the old hp netbook that had android as the operating system and I know it had a snapdragon processor too. Here's the youtube link to the product I'm talking about:

for now there's nothing new out, everybody is sticking to rk3188.
there are a couple of development board with something more powerfull like Odroid-ux but nothing at consumer level.
Hi,
I got a tablet with an Intel Atom Z3745 Soc. The OS that comes shipped with this tablet is Android. I was wondering if it is possible to replace Android with Windows or a Linux Distro since the tablet runs on an Intel x64 soc? Any suggustions?
Tnx

I don't know for sure, I'll do a little research..
But if it is possible, I'm sure that it would be quite difficult. :laugh:
I already did some research on Google and other sites. Couldn't find anything usefull. I think the problem lays on having no bios/uefi on the board instead there is Droidboot Provision OS. If there was a bios/uefi it would have been a piece of cake.But any thoughts are helpfull. Thanks.
Ah, I see.
Well, I better resign from this thread now before I cause any damage, as I am an avid Windows user and and avid Android user, but I don't have any experience with attempting to change a device's operating system.
Farewell, good sir.
thanks for your contribution.
Farewell.
Recently I read you can't replace android with Windows os on a phone because it's specifically made for Android

Other options, a little smaller at 8", include the Chuwi Hi8.
Yes I know, they're Chinese makes but they're dual boot Android & Windows 8.1/10 which you won't find in American and large foreign tablet manufacturing due to licensing issues.
The Samsung Galaxy tab s is a great tablet.
