Hey!
I was just wondering, is this the tablet you are developing for here?
http://www.hannspree.com/EU/EN/Prod...l.aspx?sort=2&page=1&pattrs=&attrs=&viewAll=0
I am thinking about buying it, but I am wondering if it's a good choice?
Is there any firmware updates to 2.3 or 3.0, so I can take proper use of the Tegra II CPU it has?
And can I install a proper Android interface, so I don't have to use the weird one Hannspree provide?
Thank you
As far as I can see these two tablets are not quite the same, but mostly.
Viewsonic has a full-sized USB port and a webcam (skype video chat?), but does it also have an HDMI output so I can play movies on my TV?
And does anybody know if I can buy a Viewsonic G tablet in Europe, or is Hannspad better?

For the Price of 169,- it's a very good choice!

There is a custom [ROM] CyanogenMod 7.1 [alpha232 build] for it.
And two Honeycomb ROMs FlashBack72 and GtaComb33 with kernel adam 4 integrated
And a modded Stock [ROM] HannsTitan v0.3.1 [Update Aug 25]
In all ROMs there are no Hardware acceleration.
But beside that it works like a charm

Yes you can. Under FB 7.2 it works flawless. All you need ist a Mini-HDMI-Cable.
I wanted the Viewsonic tablet, but it's only being sold in USA it seems

Any possibility that we might see NotionInk's cool Eden UI on the Archos? I know the NotionInk Adam has Tegra, but I don't know if it's required for Eden...
Check out the NotionInk web site under the Software section if you don't know what I am talking about...
Moved to general as not android development
Probably not a good idea to try. Eden seems to be using nvidia's chip heavily. I wouldn't want to try that on our Archos'. Besisdes, let's see what honeycomb has for us as far as UI is concerned.
HoneyComb has many things to show us, a pre-release of the SDK is out and it's GREAT!

isn't that dual core thing more or less guesswork? e
There are rumours that android 2.4 will be launched April this year and had better support for tablets, than previous version. Any one could confirm this?
It will be good news if someone could build a 2.4 android firmware.

Best to concentrate on 3.0 since it's built for tablets. 2.4 only adds some features for tablets and dual core support iirc.

2.4 will be a platform for smartfones with dual cores, not really tablets. it will include some features of 3.0, but will be mainly a mix of gingerbread and honeycomb. it is done to provide the "honeycomb" experience on dual cores cpu smartphones, since gingerbread has no support for dualcores, and honeycomb is made for tablets only, mostly with dualcore support. something in between is 2.4.
u got a folio 100? , then u got a tablet, so aim for the 3.0
If 3.0 will only support 1280x800 screens on we will be able to get it to work on Folio?

It would be irrational to bind a platform onto one resolution. So yes, It will work on other resolutions as well. I can't see that happening.

Well, Honeycomb had been 'successfully' ported over onto the Nook Color which runs 1024x600 resolution (doing a search on Youtube with 'nook color honeycomb' will give you some results). So maybe there is hope yet for the Folio!
I also think it's better to wait for the 3.0 than the 2.4
I 'm not so sure that honeycomb is the way to go... but sure it's pretty.
Hey guys.
Got a chance to buy an hp for £180. Would you say it was better than the vega? At the moment running vega comb I must admit I'm loving my vega! What are your thought please?
Much better mate....
The hardware of the tp is far superior to that of the Vega. Once Android is ported I'm sure we will have a honeycomb port in some fashion, and also ICS
Sent from my Samsung Galactic Superstar S II
I've got both and have handed the Vega to my wife now I am using the Touchpad pretty much full time.
i think vega's screen is pretty poor
Ok guys that's good.
What's the software like then? Is it as good as vegacomb?
Advent Vega
+1 Tegra SOC
+1 MicroSD Slot
+1 3G Sim
-1 512 ROM
-1 512 RAM
Hasn't the Vega got some limitation with wifi switching off when the screen is off?
Sent from my Samsung Galactic Superstar S II
Not with new vegacomb, still works.
Ok cool, will get the hp and sell the vega.
Prob silly q, assume you can get the android Market on it?

You can't get android anything on it just yet.
I have both a G-tablet & a Touchpad. While I expect the Touchpad to be my favorite device once a fully functional Android rom exists, the G-tablet is my 'Go-To' device today.
I would still suggest getting the HP, but don't sell your Vega just yet.

I had a Vega and it didn't have a 3G slot, but by far and away the biggest -1 is the screen, it was terrible.

I think sooner rather than later. There is a very crippled pre-alpha build available that shows that it at least runs/boot and has multi-touch support.
the CM7 team has made some more advancements and has mostly functioning WiFi. you can check @dalingrin twitter feed for updates.
Also vega has hdmi output.... No tv out on the hp touchpad..... but that screen is a good +10 on the touchpad compared to the vega....

+1 Tegra SOC? I think the snapdragon processor on the touchpad is on par if not better than the tegra 2

cyanogenmod team made great progress with android being able to boot on touchpad as well as 10 pts multitouch and according to updates, made good progress on activating wifi on it but they also say there's still a lot to do... my advice too is to keep your vega if you really want android. I haven't received my touchpad yet.. but read webos is pretty neat and good but lacks apps
I have a couple of tablets but my primary is my Xoom. I'd like to use the HDMI output and the USB to connect to a multitouch screen that I have. I've seen some older hacks that are resistance hardware touch screens that are more hardware. I'm wondering if this is remotely possible in the newer version of android like ICS on the Xoom.
Thanks

Basically, I want to connect a Microsoft webcam to my SGP 4.0, and probably using a custom made .apk, just record the video from the webcam. No preview display or anything.
My plan so far is to wait until TeamSuperNova finishes their ICS for the 4.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712668
And I already have the webcam and I ordered a USB host-mode cable from Amazon (not sure if I would still need that with ICS though).
So the plan is to connect the webcam to the 4.0 with the cable, but I'm just curious if you guys think it'll work, or if any experiments have already been done in this field. I have seen the video of a webcam running on the Nexus, but I really dont care about a preview, just recording. Imagine the most ghetto Go-Pro possible, that's what I'm shooting for.
Thanks guys

Make sure you can get it working with desktop Linux. That'll give you the added benefit of knowing what driver it needs. From there you can find/port a program that'll read your /dev/video* devices, something like gstreamer, ffmpeg, mencoder, or an Andriod app.

Because Android is a Linux system, though the userspace is mostly different. You don't necessarily need to have a Linux system, but I imagine it'd be harder to do Android work on another system. Though chances are good that you'd be able to do it on another kind of UNIX, such as Mac OS X being the most popular.

okay, this makes sense, but what about using eclipse? that can handle android development and all, so would i be able to determine the driver using windows/ eclipse? and also do those terminal commands and such you also posted?
ps: sorry for my ignorance, the best ive done in android so far is a fallout soundboard....

I bought a USB OTG cable for my Nexus and it worked perfectly. I then tried it on my 5.0 and it didn't work. I think USB host mode is not compatible with the player range (the 5.0 anyway) as the micro USB port is not powered. But who knows, maybe it works on the 4.0

You can find out what driver you need (if it exists) from the camera's datasheet and some Googling. If you want to test it on a more well known platform before you test it on the device, that platform would be an x86_64 linux. It's just a good refernce is all, and would come in handy in case the plug and pray method doesn't work.
Those commands only coincidentally take the name of their project, of which I was referring. See:

yeah i got the OTG cable too, and it didnt work with the 4.0, but I believe thats because its not getting powered due to the 4.0 not having true 4.0 host mode, which powers the usb, so either i splice in the required 3-5v in the usb line or i wait for Team SuperNova to complete their port of CM9 (4.0.4) for my player (the 5.0 actually already has it so you should be good to go).

I tried it on my 5.0 running my CM9 rom, but no luck. I'm not sure if the player series supports USB Host seeing as the GT-I9000 does not have this feature. As far as I'm aware, USB Host started appearing on devices in the same generation as the GT-I9100 so about a year later.
EDIT:
USB Host appears to be a kernel feature:

damn, i wonder if we need usb host mode, i mean if its powered externally with 3-5v, and then the proper drivers are installed in a custom app, wouldnt we be able to at least display what the camera sees?
