is it true that tourchdroid wont have android market ?

arent all apps incl. the free ones distributed over the market ?

will i be able to use all free apps which are available in android market with touchdroid ?

Google apps--which includes the market--may not be on there, but you should be able to add it.

it may very well be true that google market will not work on the touchpad since it is not a recognized platform for android. it can be done with build prop edits and such like done on the hd2 but if all else fails you could always use the shitty amazon app store

 

[Turdbogls]

there is no way they are not going to get it to work. What is the lint if porting android over without the apps, may as well keep webOS on it.

....why would they dev touchdroid and cyanogen if we couldn't use gapps...

Maybe you read somewhere that it won't be included, but not supported is preposterous

 

[abc27]

It won't work out of the box as the HP Touchpad isn't a supported platform but to be honest if we can port over Android, getting the market to work shouldn't be out of reach.

gapps is the easiest part. Cm7 cannot include gapps due to a google issue, but its supplied on the side. Buildprop edits will take 2mjnutes and it will download them all. No need for concern

I would love to know where the idea that it wasn't possible came from.

 

[jaju123]

It came from the touchpad running android from qualcomm. Had no market installed. Still ridiculous to assume though since we will be able to just flash Gapps through CWM...

 

[NewZJ]

even if no market (which I highly doubt) we can still sideload apps

 

[scifan]

Market will be available... even if the build.props gets tweaked to emulate a different android device...

 

[twiddler]

It should'nt make any difference what device Android is running on, the market should still work. I remember when I ported Android over to my HTC Touchpro 2 which came with Windows Mobile and the market worked fine. Android gets ported to many devices that were not native to that OS and there has never been an issue with the market.

You can install apps via the free 50gb Box.com cloud we all got! Just move them on and install with easy installer, simple

Market will work. It wont take long for someone to edit the build.prop to allow the TP to get on the market. Getting a functioning Android port is the hard part. Market will come minutes after the port is done. No worries.

As long as the app is 100mb or smaller, that might work....since box is limiting our individual file size to 100mb...and a 10gb per month limit. I switched to minus.com.

The free account is10gb storage and file size of 2gb.

If you join off a referrer's link, you each get an extra GB of storage.. Here is my referrer link http://min.us/rv1R8n4 and the direct link http://Minus.com

Don't even worry about it... There won't even be a TouchDroid release
