I recently purchased a Nordic Track 9500 Elite Pro. This bad boy has a 10" android tablet built in. They really don't want you messing with the android part much, but I am sure there are plenty of other users out there like me that want to do more!
This is my first post so I am unable to show the pictures via the link. Hopefully you can copy and past the text to view the images. I will try to repost on my website so it all flows.
I don't see where a post like this would go, I am not sure if at some point it would gain it's own device forum... That would be exciting. So for now I will post here. I will also post my initial findings for others in the community that may want to purchase this treadmill and can't find any information regarding the built in Android Tablet with WiFi.
This image shows the version information. From what I can tell it looks like they purchase an APAD from someone and then stick it inside of their device. They also must have wrote some special drivers and software to interface with the equipment and hardware. I was very happy to see a mainstream current android OS.
Android OS 2.2

Here are the pre-installed apps. Pretty basic. (note: I was able to find an APK and install Last.FM that wasn't included) Also a major bummer to see was that there wasn't a market application.

This is the typical workout screen you see.

I also noticed that the device doesn't have very much memory. This could be due to the built in applications taking up so much space. It only had about 57MB of internal memory free, but it had a built in 2GB SD Card. I have not gotten to the point where I have needed to take it apart yet to see if there is a replaceable SD card. I may wait another 5 years for my warranty to end to do that.
I have tried to install some apps but have not had very much luck. The only app that was I was able to install was the Last.FM.
I tried the follow apps, and they didn't install:
1. Market
2. Angry Birds
3. Pandora
Other disappointments:
1. Designed to not be in the Android Interface. They have an application that runs, and makes it tricky to get to the android desktop. It takes about 3 clicks to get from the main workout screen back to the Android Desktop.
2. The screen is not capacitive, it is resistive. I don't know how much more I need to say about that.
3. Only 3 buttons. Back, Menu, Home. Home takes you to their software not the android home screen. Long press on home does nothing.
4. When i go to the desktop the Time is all over the place. I have tried changing settings in every spot possible but something is telling it what time to think it is, occasionally it is correct... Just don't get it.
Even with the disappointments this thing is sweet. I wish i could install more apps, stream videos from a PC over the WiFi connection and stream music from a PC over the WiFi connection. Maybe with the help of the community we will figure some of these items out... Or I will be the only one who has this that knows about this website!
ntsteele,
How is your experience up to now with your 9500? I am looking at getting the c1250, which is the same as the 9500, but with a smaller motor and no decilne. Is the 10" screen worth it? The rep at Nordictrack told me the only differcence between the 7" screen is the web browser, the google maps display, and some basic apps. But overall the workout system is the same as the 7' display of the 1750 commercial and that you can view the google maps by logging in on ifit.com. Thanks for the info and screen shots.
iFit Android App
Have you or has anyone else been able to pull the apk files off of the NordicTrack Elite 9500 Treadmill. I would be interested to see if it works on any adroid phone to view the menu system.
I played with this today at Google IO. The rep said that the integrated tablet was rev 1 and that they wanted to eventually let users connect their own devices.
what do you need to press to get to the android home screen?
Where I work at there is a Proform Trailrunner 4.0 treadmill that has 10" Android tablet screen. From what I have been told nordic track and proform are made by the same manufacture or something. It was returned because of a broken display unit. Of course I wasn't going to let them throw the old one away so they let me keep it. I trashed the main display and now I have the 10" tablet but cannot power it because the treadmill doesn't operate without a magnetic key. How could I power this thing and see if it works?
I got the new incline trainer x9i which has the 10 inch android interface. I am interested to get in and try installing apps as you have but I am unable to even get to the android home screen. The only time I see it is when I turn the machine on and it is booting up, the screen comes up for a few seconds to where I can hit on the applications button and see what is on it. But within a second after I see the apps it automatically gets routed into the machine exercise interface and I have not figured how to get back to the android home screen from there. How did you do it? It would sure be nice to install a different browser. I hate the fact that I cannot create my own shortcuts. Anyway, love the machine.
How to get to the Android Home Screen
Any luck finding out how to get to the Android Home Screen? I am wanting to do that also. I was able to get to it one time accidentally, but haven't figure out how to stop the machine interface from loading since.
Home Screen
Ok, same question. I just got a C2150 which is a similar model to the 9500. Slightly smaller motor and belt, but same basic thing with the 10" tablet. I believe it's capacitive now, but still not great as far as that goes.
I too have hit the setup icon when it's booting and it goes to the Android setup screen for a second and then continues to boot into the Nordictrack IFit proprietary stuff.
So I can't believe the posts with the images and no explanation of how you got there? Please share with the rest of us.
Also, my console has a USB connector at the top of the thing. Any idea what if anything that'll let me do?
Thanks!
Anyone figure this out? Seems a shame to have a 10' screen and not be able to install apps on it. There must be some button combination that the Icon service team would use to stop the auto load of the iFit interface.
Internal Pictures
I took the tablet apart to see what information can be gathered. Apparently, HANNSTAR (TAIWAN) manufactures the board (HANNSTAR J MV-7); which uses a Samsung ARM8 CPU(5PV210AH-A0 1044); has 512MB; and a 4GB SANDISK FLASH (SDIN2C2-4G).
I haven't been able to find sufficient info to track a compatible ROM, yet I can't imagine for the life of me that HANNSTAR would design this just for Nordic. I am posting some pics hoping that someone might be able to id the hardware, which in turn might help point to a more fruitful search for a workable ROM.
Try to upload pics but not sure if it worked. It's late, and I can't figure out how to do it smoothly yet.
I'm gonna do another bump. I have a similar treadmill (or maybe the exact same one, I lost the the manual with product name). It is of the X9i series and when I saw it in the store, I had to go for it. I was a bit irritated to see that you are locked to the iFit application and you cannot return to the launcher. I need a male to male USB cable to see if I can get a bit of ADB on it.
From the (crappy) performance of it, I can tell it has about 512 MB RAM, a dated CPU clocked at around 600-800MHz, the screen looks like a crappy TFT display at 1280x700. Lastly, this thing runs Froyo. Mine features a full USB port and an Audio in port. Not much to screw around with. Downloads are disabled in the browser, and the Menu key does nothing.
I think something can be done though. The application that controls the treadmill can't crash as it is, and if it ever does FC, the motor shouldn't stop. NordicTrack doesn't have a recovery image up for some reason (thanks, NordicTrack -_-) so that's even less to work with.
Nevertheless, something can be done. It's not really a fun thing for an Android enthusiast to pick up an Android device with such dated hardware (the tredmill itself, as just tredmill is amazing).. Plus, it was $2,100 at Sears.

here is a video of the Treadmill and the board;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKyf6MHIefk
USB and Audio in is on the right side of the console.
I've had my Nordictrack 9500 Pro for about a year now. Still working well for the most part (I do have messed up deck tension adjuster that I need to call support about).
Would love to be able to unlock the Android device to at least install Netflix, Pandora, etc.
I have had one over the air firmware upgrade that went pretty smoothly. Was hoping more updates would come from Nordictrack, but it has been a long time since that one.
Has anyone else noticed that the Speed Calibration utility under the iFit controls says that it isn't enabled yet? Maybe there's hope for future updates.

Greetings,
I have been following this thread as a 9500 owner as well, and looking at what has been posted and see if there is any follow up.
1.) like everyone else what startup combinations may have disabled Nordic Tracks proprietary software.
2.) the usb socket on the top of the console, has anyone had anyluck attempting a usb male to male connection on a laptop? If so what has been tried?
3.) any idea of maybe porting something over via the Ifit updates or account? I noticed the HDvideo inside of the program is pretty descent from what I've seen, and looks like the video plays in the center of main app..just a thought.
I'm looking at getting the male to male usb cable and trying to interface it with the below. .. at least curious if the cable will talk, and most likely this unit is not root so view only but maybe a start if it works.

Did anyone figure out how to get android home screen????
I read somebody was able to email themselves an apk and install it? The tablet enables sideloading? Ding ding ding! I'm going to try sideloading launcherpro or any other replacement launcher to attempt to hijack the home screen
Update: Didn't work on my c2150's tablet. Bastards.... I did however get my c2150's to boot into "safe mode" which I have no idea what that entails. While it was powering on, I held down home and back I believe was the combo.
Update: SUCESS!!! So by booting into "safe" mode, you can hit the preferences launcher while the device is booting to interrupt the ifit loading. From there, go enable unknown sources. Then launch the browser and google "z4 apk" and download it and run it. Did permanent root on mine and it worked.
ENJOY
I forgot. Once you get the device into safe mode, install "smart taskbar" by sideloading. It'll make you able to view a task bar over ifit.
EDIT: Since we don't have a custom recovery, or for that matter even a recovery at all it seems, I've not attempted gapps. Could anyone give a detailed response on how to install this? I assume just unzip it in the root directory? I'm worried about permissions, I always forget what to set there. Also, the device comes pre-bundled with busybox, fyi Another must have for this is adbWireless. I tried editing the init.rc but it seems those changes were for nothing. I'll keep people updated as I discover things etc. I'm by no means a dev, but do know a little.

Sorry - can you tell me the exact steps involved here. How do I get to safe mode and then what? I tried Home Back while powering on and it still goes to the ifit screen
You know I'm really not sure what trick it is to make it stay. I had good luck getting it to stay in android rubbing home/back/menu while it booted and as soon as I saw the android home screen, hit the preferences launcher and then grabbed the top menubar and half pulled it down. All I know is that when you get it to stick in android, its always in safe mode which is triggered by some combination of those buttons on boot. Even then it will boot into iFit, but if you go to the settings first, in safe mode, it wont exit that screen.
Nordictrack commercial 2150 Android Safemode
Very simple folks. Turn treadmill on and once you see ANDROID appear in the center of the screen, begin pressing the dashes button that is between the home and back buttons on the console. Not sure if holding down works any better. An "unable to load widget" will be seen in middle of screen once the I-FIT software has stopped and safe mode will appear at the lower left hand corner. You'll then be able to check out the various Android options etc for your tablet. Be careful in editing anything unless you know what you are doing! Wouldn't want to brick your treadmill unnecessarily. It took awhile to find the key to safe mode access, due to limited info out there, but I hope users will continue to make some progress on exploiting this device and maybe we'll be able to use it to our liking. I would like to stream my dish television to the tablet like I do on my i phone or i pad. Being able to install the dish app via google app store is what I'm looking forward to. I want to be able to watch tv on my treadmill while exercising. Please keep this thread going! I'm sure that future software updates may allow for a better user interface. The challenge is certainly in the storage capabilities in the tablet itself and the sd card inside.
So I've watched the ICS Motorola Webtop Beta 3.0 video and it may be me but it looks very similar to the Evo Desktop PC in concept and function. Considering that ICS wasn't even available this time last year this would have been the logical progression of the project. I'm not asking for Moto to send me a check but I'm waiting to see how the credits roll out. If the Sun here on Mars has baked my brain then feel free to say so.

So are you going to send it on their behalf?
Actually I've been in contact with Moto since the videos surfaced and am getting the "hot potato" treatment. All I'm looking for is to have a civil dialog with them about it. All I'm getting is being told I need to contact Department A by Department B after just being directly referred to Department B by Department A. I have even gone so far as to include the direct referral and names in my communications. You probably have a good idea as to how well that's working.
The odd thing is that with 200+ views nobody has said I should have my head checked. Is everybody on XDA being nice?
Interesting question, locki. Definitely a fair one. If I understand correctly, from watching the video (I had the volume down - A cold and a headache coming down so I'm trying to minimize the noises). In any case, your version looks to me like phone mirroring with a keyboard and a mouse. Not sure how it's set up (you probably said it in the video). But I don't think the ICS demo is a complete demo. This looks like he just reviewed the phone mirroring version, but didn't do a complete webtop review. Also, webtop on the current system is also pretty limited. From that video, I don't see much difference between the ICS and what we have on our phone, except that this is a proof of concept. In any case, you could say the same thing about a comparable presentation from the webtop experience on the mopho if you only show the the phone window usage. could also say the same thing about your ubuntop if you only show a limited version of the capabilities. I guess my point is I don't think you have a fair comparison at this point. But my head is stuffy and I am on my way to an early bedtime, so maybe I'm missing something...
I replaced the video of webtop 3.0 with one that shows webtop3.0 in use. I also have a copy of the ICS RAZR leak and osh (or anything related to that partition) is nowhere to be found. Neflix is obviously Netflix for tablets. The desktop look of Chrome appears to be a ui switch for the mobile chrome browser. If the ICS leak is anywhere near what the official release is, then the tech/android reports are correct that the new webtop is nothing more than modified tablet mode mirroring.
I'm not saying it's not good work. Had HCL Launcher, Chrome mobile browser and Netflix for tablets been out when I released Evo Desktop you would be hard pressed to tell the difference.
My other concern is if the leak I have and the videos are correct this does not bode well for Webtop becoming a true desktop with ICS like many had hoped.
So If I am understanding things correctly, the new webtop is just tweaked phone mirroring, as opposed to now where there are 2 operating systems running side by side. I guess ubuntop won't work on that system then. very disappointing.
As nice as Evo Desktop was there were tons of drawbacks. So I can tell you from experience that this is going to be a serious step backwards for "Webtop". Open up a mobile browser and visit a page that has flash based chat embedded. You cannot leave that page (view another page in another tab) because as soon as you leave the chat page tab everything gets suspended. When you go back to the chat page tab you have to log back in and start over.
Document editing will also be an issue as you have to use cloud based editors like Google Docs because to my knowledge none of the current office apps have that tablet switch needed change how the ui is rendered. When you combine this with the browser tabs issue and that Google Docs puts a fairly heavy load on the browser, you can say goodbye to any real doc editing.
What it comes down to is that many app devs are going to have to add the needed ui switch and changes to keep the new webtop from being trash. This will not be easy. I fought for months to just get a browser with a "desktop ui" look with no success. Even with thousands of users on the Evo project nobody would touch it. I ended up having to modify an existing browser to give my users a desktop look. Multiply that by how many commonly used apps that would need a ui switch and Moto is just asking for failure.
My other concern is what happens to the, now wasted, 1.3GB osh partition? The leak has no mention of it in the install script. It looks like it will still present but only accessible via vnc which has it's own issues and drawbacks.
So I’ve Installed a few of the new ICS Sense based ROMs and I love them but the only issues I have with them is with the new HTC Sense browser. It appears some features were removed. One feature in particular that I use very often is the “long press” share as options. For those of you not familiar with what I’m speaking of, while web browsing and you’ve stumble upon a image that seems super interesting and cool and you want to share it with friends. All you have to do was long press on the image and four options would popup. “Save Image” “View Image” “Set as Wallpaper” & “Share Image”. Once you click on “Share image” you can select your favorite MMS/SMS app and the image instantly shows in the edit text box. Not a link to the image to where its stored online but a actual thumbnail view of the image would be inserted. I really enjoy this feature because sometimes it’s a pain to save file, go into the gallery, search thru the gallery to locate the image, then to pull up the option to share it. It’s super convenient to share the image with 1 or 2 steps vs 4 to 5 steps by selecting the “Save image” option.
So, my question is how can I a. Install a HTC Sense 3.0 browser on one of the new ICS Sense ROMs, I’ve tried to install the browser.apk but no luck. It will not install and run. Or B. How can I implement the long press “Share Image” option into one of the new ICS Sense ROMs.
Thanks A million.
I don't know if you are in love with the sense browser, but there may be another browser (like Dolphin, Boat, etc) that has this feature.
Thanks coal686
I forgot to mention in my original post that I've tried both Opera and Dolphin and neither one of those browsers give the option to "Share Image" or anything of that sort when long pressing on the image.
Unlike Sense 3.0, that option is available. (see attached image)
Is there a way this feature can be implemented into Sense v3.5 and greater?
i heard that they removed the feature with ice cream sandwich. There is no getting it back. Its not on any manufacturer's browser. I missed the feature so much i went back to gingerbread.
from what i read, they removed the option to make sure they are not going to get sued by Apple. Just like they removed the local search from the galaxy nexus.
It's been 5 months since the last reply... any updates on this matter?
has anybody reached a reasonable solution?
I just got my One X+... i used to own a Desire HD before this, and I was perfectly happy with the old browser!!! (if possible, i'd like to install it on the one x+ somehow, if that will solve my "share image" problems... i should google to see if someone has uploaded the old browser apk somewhere and if it's "insatallable" even)
Rooting my phone is out of the question too. It's a brand new phone, and i don't want to risk bricking it, or not getting OTA updates.
I share images a lot, particularly during chat (Whatsapp), and having to download every single image, then go all the way to the gallery to look for the image and share the image is an extreme hassle, not to mention the fact that i later have to clean up the downloaded pix too!
let me go google for that Browser apk now!
Ya'll let us know if u find a solution to the sharing issue.
btw. One X+ came pre-installed with Google Chrome (browser)... that one doesn't have the sharing option either.
I wanted to add a post here due to the severity of the bug. (Original post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904629).
I've tested with *#*#4636*#* and nothing is displayed on my dialer, as it does when you type the code in now (4.0.3 latest release from Verizon). Trying with other numbers leave the numbers in the dialer. Tested with FF and Chrome. Stock dialer.
Does anybody know any safe codes we can try to confirm or deny that this vulnerability could also affect HTC phones?
Edit: I was able to launch the HTC Function Test ( *#*#3424#*#* ) using this method. If there is a reset code I would bet it is exploitable.
Edit 2: I found a list of codes here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1683634 which could also be tested.
Also sample HTML for you to test (will bring up the HTC Functions Test as if *#*#3424#*#* were entered in the dialer):
HTML:
<frameset>
<frame src="tel:*%23*%233424%23*%23*">
</frameset>
Place in an HTML file, host it somewhere. I wouldn't trust ANYONE's links unless you are prepared for the worst.
If somebody with the official VZW rom is brave enough to test out the factory reset codes we can narrow the scope of this down.

this bug is being reports for Samsung TouchWiz devices only. we are safe.
Sorry, but you are very very ill-informed.
This bug affects all android devices. We have two problems here, 2 leads on from 1.
1) Does the device launch USSD (or other similar codes) from the browser automatically (Most stock diallers will do this, certainly both Samsung and HTC DO!)
2) Does the device has a USSD (or similar code) that allows for the device to be wiped without confirmation (most samsung and htc devices do! although the code to trigger it can vary from device to device)
Samsung and Stock Google have patched this in recent builds, so if your up-to-date you should be safe, however no evidence has been obtained to show that HTC is safe (or even knows of the problem).
In short, if there is a code to wipe your device then you most likely vulnerable
*#06# shows imei on HTC, an here is page where you can make sure HTC is vulnerable too: mk.am/m/ussd.html
The only thing is I'm not quite sure that HTC has USSD for factory reset or wipe.
These work on some htc phones:
##72786#
*#*#7780#*#*
*#7780#
*#767*3855# - this one, if it works will format your partitions, recovery will not be a simple task BE WARNED!

Does HTC have such a reset code? I've seen various posts say that HTC does have a reset code.
I was able to get to the HTC Function Test with this method (3424) on stock browser, FF and Chrome. If there is a similar hard reset I think this would work for that too.

tried all 4 codes on my htc rezound. nothing happened.
so im sorry but it looks like you are miss informed.
The Factory Reset. One of those last ditch efforts that many of us have a fair bit of experience with. However, a malicious embed code could potentially do the exact same thing to your Galaxy S III. The Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) code (which we won't reproduce here) apparently only works on Samsung phones running Touchwiz, and only if you are directed to the dodgy destination while inside the stock browser (rather than Chrome, for example). This means the Galaxy Nexus is unaffected, but it can work the same dark magic on the likes of the Galaxy S II.
We've been trying to murder a (UK-based) GS III here at Engadget, but with no luck as yet -- we can cause the malicious digits to appear in the dialer, but we can't force the stock browser to visit them as a URL, even when trying a bit of URL forwarding and QR code trickery. However, this particular GS III has been rooted in the past, even though it's now running an official TouchWiz ROM, and that may be interfering with the process.
Aside from our own experiences, the evidence for the vulnerability is certainly strong. It was demonstrated at the Ekoparty security conference last weekend, during which time presenter Ravi Borgaonkar also showed how a different code could even wipe your SIM card. See the video after the break for the evidence.
Update: Tweakers.net has been able to replicate the security hole on a Galaxy S Advance, while The Verge has confirmed that it works on both the Galaxy S II and the AT&T Galaxy S III. Samsung has told us it's looking into the issue.

There's a lot of confusion as to exactly which Samsung phones are vulnerable to today's big scary USSD vulnerability, which could cause some phones to factory reset themselves upon visiting a malicious web page. Some Galaxy S2 and S3-class phones are susceptible, others less so. In some cases it depends if you're running the latest firmware or not. In others, there's no patched firmware available yet.
Samsung will surely be hard at work rolling out fixes for devices that remain susceptible, but in the meantime we've got a quick, easy to tell if your phone is at risk, without taking the plunge and running the malicious code itself. Find out more after the break.
First off, note that today's glitch only affects Samsung phones. Our testing method may produce different results on other manufacturers' devices, but it's important to remember that it's impossible to use this exploit on a phone that's not running Samsung's TouchWiz software. Also, note that we don't see any secret information from your phone during this test. If in doubt, right-click and check the source code to see exactly what we're doing. It's a pretty simple test.
With that in mind, head to this page on your Samsung phone's stock browser. You'll find it at androidcentral.com/ussd-test
With this page loaded on your phone, simply click the button in the embedded area below to see if your Samsung phone is at risk. The test works by trying to direct you to a benign USSD code, specifically, the one that displays your IMEI on your screen (nothing malicious). If you're using a Samsung phone and a window pops up showing your IMEI number, you're likely vulnerable. If your dialer just loads up showing either nothing, or *#06# in the number read-out, you should be safe.
Let us know how you get on down in the comments. Safe browsing, everyone!

That is good news, but this is still too early to call this one I think. This vector is open (at least on my phone) as demonstrated by the code:
HTML:
<frameset>
<frame src="tel:*%23*%233424%23*%23*">
</frameset>
(Place in an HTML file, host it somewhere. I wouldn't trust ANYONE's links unless you are prepared for the worst.)
This uses 3424 which opens up the HTC Function Test.
Just because those codes don't work doesn't mean there isn't one available if the vector is open.

Ah, I believe you're in a similar category as CM users then, these USSD's have likely been removed from your rom.
Anyone else on stock (or willing to go to stock) who would be able to test the wipe codes?
FWIW I installed DialerOne and set it as my default dialer. This no longer executes the USSD automatically for the Function Test, so I hope if there is a valid USSD Reset code it would stop that as well.
Went to view some stats and add points to my "nation" for Medal of Honor Warfighter using my Dolphin browser. The page would not display properly, and I noticed a warning about Adobe Flash not installed or disabled? I had Flash set to always on, but now it showed on demand. Went to change it, and a pop-up warning appeared stating that Adobe has discontinued Flash support for Android! And sure enough, it is no longer in the Google Play Store anymore. WTH???!!!
Is this yet another bit of sabotage from Apple to cripple it hottest competition? Because just about every website uses Flash for something, and this would cripple web browsing on ALL Android based devices. And thus effect a lot of us Android users!
yah, they stopped it ...
This is old news. Adobe discontinued flash for Android since JellyBean and have taken it off the Play Store. ICS is the last supported version. This is due to the fact that Flash is a resource heavy technology that is soon becoming outdated and HTML5 is being adopted more and more everyday. I use the YouTube HTML5 player myself and have been doing so since a few months. I hardly ever find a need for Flash, especially on a mobile device. Of course, people's requirement vary, but like the YouTube HTML5 player, websites are moving towards that everyday. HTML5 is the future, and everyone including Adobe knows it. So I don't think they would spend money and resources developing a technology that will soon be obsolete anyway.
You can still install the Flash Player apk from Adobe's website on both ICS and JellyBean and use it on your device. They haven't removed every trace of it, they've just put it in their legacy section and aren't going to update it anymore.
