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?!

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?
Title says it all really peeps, I'm currently looking for a android gaming handheld, i've currently got a gp2x f200 and I'm loving it but it is a dated technology and Linux based.
So in your honest opinions what is the best current android based gaming handheld.
Many thanks

Hi guys,
I just wanted to re-ignite this post for 2019....is there an android gaming handheld up there for this year?
All i want is something like the Archos Gamepad 2 - but brand new.....
I also prefer the right-analog stick to be below the 4 buttons, not above.....i use Moonlight Gamestream to stream all my games from my home PC to all of my devices and it works so well - at the moment i use my Vita to stream them...but the downside is the screen size, and the fact it only has one trigger on each side..
Does anyone know where i would begin looking?
I saw this video and apparently Nintendo has released some Wii ports to the Chinese Nvididia Shield TV. Since these ports are most likely not coming to Western audiences, I was wondering if any APKs of these ports have been released. I'm aware that they probably don't run on normal Android devices, but I just wanted to poke around the files. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The NVIDIA graphics are much more awesome then of Nintendo.
I came here just to see if the question was answered.. I am sure someone in China will rip these WHEN they are out
Hello, I have an old LG smart TV. I was wondering if there was any way for me to upgrade it’s software either to WebOs or anything really that doesn’t drive me insane.
Thanks!
I was trying to find resources on how to root and install homebrew channel on my LG projector but haven't had any luck. Is it possible? The web page that works for the later versions doesn't specify that it would work on mine and I can't afford to brick my projector.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
LG PF1000UW
webOS version 03.00.18
I am primarily looking to do this to install Moonlight gamestreaming natively on it and I assume this would be the only way to do that.
Is this forum still active? Not sure where else to look for such a niche request.
I have a PF50KS and I think you got the wrong information.
Go to "About this projector" and may see another WebOS version.
Mine was 3.7, which then I went to rootmy.tv and it worked fine
