Thumb key board rocks. Kinda simulates the WebOS keyboard. Recommend it.

Edit: see this image, hope it works

I looked in the market, and found a Thumb Keyboard but the images didn't match the one you posted so I didnt download it.

Instead I found A.I.type Tablet Keyboard BETA.

I really liked the number row on the standard webOS keyboard, and this one has a number row too. I tried hackers keyboard, and I didn't really like the layout. I've only had this A.I.type keyboard installed a few minutes but so far I like it.

you can even split the keyboard

I've already removed CM7, but can someone check if any of the browsers can run the Lord of Ultima browser game? I'm thinking the javascript might be too heavy, but it'd be sweet to play.

 

[butter_stick]

Is there anyway to install apps from market.android.com to your Touchpad? Just says I have no registered phone, which makes sense I guess.

 

[Chesskid1]

Any one got cifs working? I thought all cyanogenmod support it?

i dunno wtf cifs are but i found tihs.

[elty]

I can't find my device on market.android.com, but on the Toucpad my apps are all there. :confuse:

edit: I can also see apps I have downloaded on "My Library" from market.android.com.

 

[eternalthree]

The swype beta (3.0) allows you to shrink the keyboard down to about 1/3 of the screen left or right. Works pretty well.

How did you install swype beta 3.0? When i run the installer it says the screen size is not supported.

It lets you play home network video files as if its on your local drive. I ll wait for the official version.

Well maybe BC the keyboard has 3 modes which I think are the same as your a.I keyboard you installed. I'm using the second type which makes the keys nice and big. The other one is one handed keyboard and the other one is split keyboard for thumb use. Btw I'm using an ipad skin hehe and the app has like 20+ free themes that looks like competitor keyboards. This thing is a beast. I'm glad I got it for free on the Amazon market place from their past daily promos.

I just downloaded this because od your recomendation and I love the split keyboard! Until swype hits this will do very well.

Nice. Im like halfway through FF7 on my cellphone, should also play it on touchpad whenever I put cm7 on it.

I'm just goofing around, sorry.

Does dualshock 3 work with any android tablet? How do you set it up?

 

[lunarworks]

Once this thing hits a stable release with ICS, I'm completely in.

 

[kehs]

Does dualshock 3 work with any android tablet? How do you set it up?

There's an app in the market that maps the bluetooth input to "game inputs" that are new in gingerbread.

 

[Chesskid1]

download Sixaxis Controller App.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en

run it, it will tell you your bluetooth address.

download six axis pair tool

http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html

connect ps3 controller to your computer via usb (like you were charging it), run six axis pair tool, enter in your HP touchpad address.

it will sync up and that's about it.

i think only emulators use it mainly. sadly, ps1 emu doesn't work that well for me. i get some slowdowns, but some people get good performance. it stuttered a bunch in FMVs for me.

it will work on most bluetooth android devices, but some don't have the right stuff. there's a free compatibility checker though.

 

[freshair]

Thanks to whoever mentioned getjar. Lots of quality free apps on there. Just grabbed age of zombies and beautiful widgets.

Gaf i need some help,somehow my touchpad has gotten infected with this very annoying problem of pushing out audio through the speakers even when the headphones are still attached through the 3.5mm jack..i say infected because it was working fine until very recently.I have searched everywhere and rebooted the device twice but to no use

i really don't want to restore it to factory settings using webos doctor because i will have to do the whole patching and downloading apps thing again : /

It's a known bug, I don't think there's a fix for it at the moment.

Search 'AdFree Android' on the Market.

Haha, my mum was treated to hearing Rawls give Bunny Colvin a bollocking. I only realised whhen the title music started playing and I could feel the touchpad softly vibrating along with the tune.

Apparently this update makes browsing way smoother.

I'm sticking with WebOS until ICS is out. I already have CM7 on a Nook Color, and I don't want to give up actual tablet apps when WebOS is working for everything I need it for right now (Kindle, comic reading, Spotify, and web browsing).

 

[Chorazin]

I'll prolly do it when I get home. I'm not too worried about needing to wipe it if shit goes bad.

 

[Birbo]

Slowly over the last few weeks I've been having issues with my apps that have accounts on the Touchpad. First I kept getting an error message when trying to open emails on my gmail account. Next, my Facebook app would just spin & never load up. Now, I can't even access the HP Apps Store. Any ideas? Thought I read there was an issue with the mufflelogging (?) app so I just deleted that.

Thinking I may just wipe out all my apps & start over again. If I do that, will I have to re-purchase apps or can I just redownload them. Also, what happens to files associated with the apps? In particular I'm thinking of comic book files I've loaded up to read using the comic book app.

Any issues with updating webOS if you have something like F15C installed?

I am updating as I speak .......................................... taking long.

Its unpacking now.

Yeah the update is very slow to apply.

Luckily we dont get that many

I think it will put it back to stock.

Over the next few days you will see preware updates for 3.0.4.77

 

[eternalthree]

i heard some preware patches arent working any more after this morning's patch, but that the tablet seems more responsive. personally, i hope it doesnt do anything to my cm7 installation.

Be careful....

I just read this "Seems to wipe out the bootloader at the very least..."

 

[Tek]

apparently the update wipes out the custom bootloader for CM7...so you can't boot back into CM7 after the webos upgrade.

Anyone else confirm?

 

[thegreyfox]

I can confirm that you can no longer boot into CM7 after the update. I can only assume it's the bootloader since webos shows up the second you turn it on.

 

[crazy monkey]

It is installing. I do not have android so i should be fine i think. I do not mind if it deletes the preware thing I do not know how to use that anyways lol


OMG how long does it take to restart this thing my god.


Edit it just diddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
