Hacking the Toshiba AC100This is a featured page


Welcome to the Wiki about the Toshiba AC100 smartbook!

The AC100 (or Dynabook AZ as it is called in Japan) is a nice piece of hardware; a smartbook which many of us have been waiting for since more than a year when many companies announced ARM based netbooks for the future.
Unfortunately, the AC100 features Android 2.1, which is not the optimal OS for a smartbook, as the display size and the keyboard are not entirely Android-compatible. Another drawback is the rather limited choice of installable apps, as there is no way to access Googles Marketplace.
Although Android 2.2 has been released on 22 February 2011, bringing lots of benefits, many of us yearn for installing their own choice of (Linux based) operating system, be it Debian, Ubuntu or ChromeOS.

berbeno21 changing the keyboard from European to Japanese 0 May 5 2011, 11:19 PM EDT by berbeno21
Thread started: May 5 2011, 11:19 PM EDT  Watch
Hello everyone! I'm new to this so I'll try my best.
I have my ac100 running froyo and it's completely european. I actually bought it in Switzerland. But now I'm living in Japan and I want my keyboard to be able to type in Japanese. I tried everything I could, that means not a lot.
I've found an old thread on the Toshiba forum but it has been deleted.
It said something about rooting the device and installing the japanese keyboard...
If someone can help I would be very pleased
