Is anyone going to put CM9 on their HP Touchpad?

I just saw on another forum that CM9 for touchpad is out. It's based off of Ice Cream Sandwich. I want to put it on but it sounds fairly unstable at the moment. Anyone else out there gonna do it?

Haven't decided yet. I may wait a little until the initial bugs are worked out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I do not follow it that close, and the people who do told me to get Android on it months ago. Is CM9 dual bootable? I will when it is.

Once CM9 is on it the CM9 updates will be easy.

I think a OS update will break the dual boot... Need some verification.

I jumped on CM7.5 Alpha and immediately regretted it. CM7.0 was relatively stable and I had a high level of success with it. I'm going to give this one a few weeks to ripen.

I used 7 for a little while. But the more I use WebOS the more I like it. We will see, there is only one app I use often enough from android that WebOS doesnt have.

This was posted in an earlier forum, but to answer:

I did, i followed this link to install it, just substituted the files for CM9 and ACMEInstaller2, with Gapps

So far so good. there is some instability with programs cutting off at random, but not much of a nuisance for me.

gripe: Just want Netflix to work!

I'm going to install it as soon as the touchpad gets in my cold fingers. The YouTube video linked above is good, just take notes while its running so that you know where to go to get the necessary files.

That said, I'm going to give WebOS a good wringing out also.

This isn't going to be an entertainment machine for me; it's going to be my virtual classroom window (which means it needs to handle Office documents, .pdfs, Kindle/Nook e-books, and .wmv video files). This, along with my Kindle DX for the books, is what I need to survive on the road while pursuing a master's degree (I hope) rather than a heavy laptop plus the books plus the class notes etc. etc... An iPad-based solution would cost three times as much, and not be very flexible.

Alright, it's a few months later, but I just did the Android thing on the TP I got from Woot! in January, this past weekend.

I'm using Alpha 2.0 and I'm pretty happy with the apps, spent almost all day yesterday finding fun free stuff to put on it.

The first Alpha I put on it was 0.6 and Netflix didn't run right, but I posted on webosnation forums and was advised to update. Worked like a charm.

Seriously, the most frustrating part of adding Android to it was downloading the files I needed. Stupid IE. I ended up using FireFox.

I'm so happy with it I'm considering getting some prepaid data plan for it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
