Pre-alpha MIUI ROM released for the HP TouchPad

Driven by HP's $99 fire sale of their webOS-based ToucHpad tablets, many hackers and developers have been busy attempting to port over a variety of Android flavors onto the device, most notably CyanogenMod 7. However if CM7 isn't your thing, the team behind MIUI have been making some progress with their own version of Android for the TouchPad.

So far the team has managed to get the MIUI custom ROM up to a pre-alpha stage, but even then it's rather impressive as to the features and functions that they've managed to get up and running so far. These includes features and functions such as audio, touch input, WiFi, and Bluetooth. However some of the functions and features not available or not working include the lack of an on-screen menu for home, back or menu functions.

Thanks to Brad Linder at Liliputing, here are some workarounds to the bugs we listed above.
