doc/hipl_android_preparation_guide.txt is for the most part about how to compile your own Android so that it has the required features, but not so much about HIPL itself. I don't think it's worth assimilating the whole document there. I'll walk through compiling and installing hip, and mention that if the device is lacking required features, that document contains steps to help with that. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~hipl-core/hipl/android-port-new/+merge/191760 Your team HIPL core team is subscribed to branch lp:hipl.
