I also posted this in the general android forum, not sure which is a better place for it. I have an HP TC1000 tablet, just got it. Was hoping to put android on it as my permanent OS instead of windows XP. It has a 1Ghz Transmeta Crusoe processor and 256 MB of RAM. Has anybody tried putting android on this? I tried running android x86 off a live CD and the colors were all wrong, the screen input didn't work, etc. I figured since this was one of the first tablets that someone would have tried this already, but I can't find any information on this.Thanks,Jon

i would like to run android on my old tc1000 tablet by compaq

I'm thinking it is going to be impossible because of the crappy CPU they put in them. Also, because it isn't a true touch screen I don't think drivers would be available for it.

The only thing that I could suggest is to drop something like VirtualBox or VMWare onto it and run an Android x86 live CD from that.

That sounds like a really good idea, but the TC1000 is extremely underpowered. I would have to try it to see how it runs, but it is a 1ghz cpu with 256 mb of memory. Not exactly a prime candidate for vmware.

have you tried the Android LIVE ISO? I dont know whats IN the TC1000 but it might be worth a shot.I'll bet if you go to pendrivelinux.com you can figure out how to get it on a USB stick if you dont have a CDRj

I tried running it off the livecd, the colors were terrible everything was red tinted. Also the pen input didn't work.
