True Multitasking on HP TouchPad with CyanogenMod Android 4.0 ICS




HP's TouchPad can run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich if owners install the CyanogenMod 9 port, but multitasking could be better. 

Android 4.0 is perfectly capable of running more than one app at the same time, but users can't interact with more than one at any given moment. 

A user from the XDA-developers forum was able to create a modification to the software. Called Cornerstone, it lets up to three apps share the screen at once. 

The main app uses the left half of the display, while the right half is divided between the other two. 

There are some bugs to work through, but the feature runs well enough for the video demo above to be possible. 

We aren't sure if Cornerstone will become a standard part of CyanogenMod builds, but since it is open-source, it all boils down to the developers.
