Hello there. I'm looking for a cheap tablet for a basic use, just read some PDFs and use a few social networks, and the new Amazon fire looks pretty good for this.

I'm considering to buy a kindle fire hd, after I returned a Nexus 7 due to its lack of HDMI and quality issue.
Hardware wise, KFHD has everything I need. But the only thing concerns me is if it supports the sixaxis controller app from google play? Could someone confirm this? This app needs root.
The reason I'm asking is that I'm a light gamer and like to use a ps3 controller to play some games on KFHD connected to an external monitor for better viewing.
Right now, I'm playing modern combat 3 on my samsung s2 connected to an external monitor via MHL cable, but it has some resolution and lag problems. I want to upgrade to a tablet with full HDMI.
Please let me know if you have some insight?
Thanks

Ok so the app works and recognizes the controller, BUT, I havnt figured out how to allow input by the controller since kfhd's keyboard settings does not have any options for input. Will have to do some research on a work around or wait till someone figures it out a way.

Ok I can confirm it works. After downloading nook tools (thanks to timurg for posting the link on a different thread) to gain access to the hidden language and keyboard settings and enabling input from the controller.
Hi all, Just a quick question to all of you using tablets these days. First I just got nexus 7 for my b'day and now im on the market for .... everything. I would like to know if you guys experienced some issues with log me in on your tablet. What are best ways to use and utilise the tablet. Also another question is a cable, can i use MHL or Micro HDMI cable with this tablet or is that a no-no? If so would the same cable work with my GNex? What apps would you recommend and generally anything related to this. Any input suggestion or, in the end, discussion is welcomed.
Edit#2 can you connect USB drives or sticks to it, if so how?

MHL/HDMI is a nono yes. The only way I'm aware of it being done is through a Raspberry Pi, you may aswell forget about that now
I wouldn't use LogMeIn to be honest, take a look at SplashTop HD
Finally, you need a USB-OTG (on the go), then a normal memory stick/usb hard drive. Download an App called StickMount(Rooted) or Nexus Media Importer (Non-Rooted) and away you go.
PS - Welcome to the best little tablet !

Thanks for such a quick reply! Shame that there is no MHL capabilities. I sort of need log me in for work purpouses. I tried on the phone and the app worked flawlessly but on the baled graphic was gone and frankly speaking unusable.
USB OTG just plug it it, than my stick, run my app and off it works?
Can i connect keyboard and mouse same way?
Cheers
Hey guys.
I am finally in the market for a tablet. This HP TouchPad seems to be the best bang for the buck (for me anyhow)
How is android on it? I saw in the dev section that it seems pretty stable and solid for not being android native.
Secondly, hows not having a microSD slot?
Also, is the process for putting android on it really hard? I never rooted/hacked something without a microSD slot.. makes me wonder how it works unless everything is done via computer.
Thanks all!
Oh one other question, do things like flash work on websites? I know how to manually install the APK and i use xScope Pro browser on my Galaxy S3 and it works wonders. Is the same method applied to the android versions of HP TouchPad?
Also do the ROMs support USB OTG?

Android is great Start with the latest CM9 nightly then once you're used to this Tablet upgrade to CM10.
No micro = no problem get a 32gig Use Google Play for music if you have a lot.
Yes you need a PC, shouldn't take more than 15/20 minutes to install and it is easy .
This is very good up to date guide http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31548-ho...-with-sound-camera-microphone-updated-121712/ with links to everything you will need and a video tutorial.
You seem to know your stuff so I'm sure you won't have any problems.
Buy one and have fun.
And don't forget you still have WebOS which still has a lot going for it.

Flash yes for CM9, sort of for CM10
USB powered OTG works, just do a search in the Hp forums here.
Oh and if you can buy the HP Touchstone charger it is well worth having .

Im not really interested in WebOS lol. And CM10 is what im looking at running. I feel confident in getting flash working if its pretty close to other devices.
Also, when you say Powered OTG, that means the devices port is providing the power and simple things like mice USB drives will work without a hub?
Seems like i'll enjoy it a lot. Looking to get it for streaming and videos and entertainment. Things like facebook youtube.
How's the display? Ive been spoiled by my galaxy S3 and S2 super amoled displays. Hows this one look?
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1582771 is all about OTG basically you need a battery /mains powered Y cable /hub all the info is on the first page.
I use this to watch all my DL American TV shows and think the screen is great .Don't forget this was originally as expensive as an I pad. Also I was thinking about a Samsung Tab 2 until I saw/used one over Christmas and I'm glad I still have the HP.
The short answer to your main question is that the touchpad handles android very well and that the display is excellent. I wish it did have have an SD slot, but I've gotten along quite well without one. As I haven't tried CM10, and won't until it seems a bit more stable, CM9 has generally worked great.
Don't think you be dissappointed with one of these.
Enjoy.
Wanted to share my install and get some feedback very excited about the potential in car installs

Nice install there. You mentioned audio thumb issues in your videos. You could use a dcdc usb. Can't post link, google it You can set it up so that power cuts out somewhat earlier or later so you won't have that thumb. Having simular issues atm, still need to order one too

Any chance of getting a link to the cable you used? I'm looking for a USB-C to HDMI cable, and would like to avoid buying & returning multiple ones to find a working combo...

Excellent, thank you!
Was it simply plug & play, or did you have to do anything?
I assume it only outputs at 1080 resolution & 60hz to the television...?
Yes it natively went to 1080p and 60hz for me. I do not have a better tv to try it but simply plugged it in and watched some movies.

How about Netflix downloaded offline content? Hard to find information about it. The idea is to use the cable to Connect it to the phone that is displaying downloaded netflix content.
Yes, as long as you connect it via USB c to HDMI it will work as a secondary display

Okay, have you tried it out yourself?
I have read that it just gives a black Screen or sth. when trying to watch a downloaded movie without Internet connection.

HDMI and Data
Hi all,
Can someone please test what happens if you use the side USB-C to output HDMI and at same time connect your phone to your PC for data transfer / ADB ?
I was not able to achieve this using Samsung S8 / S9 with the USB-C to HDMI official adapter.
Many thanks!

Well that's kind of rude. Especially if someone ends up having issues with that port. I get that it's best in most cases to use that port, but you shouldn't be forced or limited to it.

Yeah... +theoretically using that port without the fan attachment voids the warranty I think since it clearlt states not to use the side port by itself : /(I might be wrong on this and it might only state just not to use the orange part ; p
