Cyanogenmod 11 (Android 4.4.4), the version referred to as 'most stable' in the video still has a few quirks, but I can work around them (for example Tasker disconnects/reconnects 5 GHz WiFi every 30 minutes because otherwise it would die). It sits in a wireless-charging Touchstone dock, and the battery is still fine after almost a decade. I'm still using mine on Android 4.4.4, just to run my Home Assistant display panel and some background Tasker tasks for home automation. Good times, good times.ĮDIT: Bell Fibe TV app didn't seem to like operating, so I am giving Android 7.1 at try.

Pretty crazy that a $99 tablet (down from $499) from 2011 is still going. In any event it was a fun little Saturday afternoon project.

But I can now install the Bell Fibe TV app and use it for a little TV screen in my workshop. I was hoping it might seem peppier, but it doesn't seem to be. Note that 9.0 doesn't include camera or Bluetooth. Most of the way down the thread there is a 'Follow up Q & A' which includes a button titled 'What Roms do I recommend'. There is a link to Android 9.0 install at the top of the thread. So I was doing some electronics spring cleaning and was getting ready to throw out my old $99 HP Touchpad, but I thought I'd google HP Touchpad one last time just for shits and giggles.įound this thread with a fantastic how-to video on how to update it to various newer versions of Android.
