Hi guys, just a question: does the Touchpad itself have pressure sensitivity on its touchscreen?

Because on current CM there's no pressure sensitivity support, you can tell by trying apps like MultiTouch Visualizer 2 or by trying out drawing apps like SketchBook Mobile.

Can you guys confirm?

If it's a bug it should be reported on Issue page of cmtouchpad I guess.

Hi

I am new to all this so sorry if this is a silly question.

I am currently using the MIUI build but want to change to Alpha 3.5 so I can play games

Can I install this over the MIUI or do I need to uninstall MIUI?

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] morpheus6d9:
Yes you can install this over MIUI just clear cache

Thanks,

I want to make custom wallpapers of the touchpad but the normal 1024x768 aspect seems to be off
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Not trying to be funny, but what??
[TouchPad Development] ANtiHazarD:
working awasome !

One issue that i found for a few hours of using CM7 Alpha 3.5 - it's a big laggs and freezing during changing Wi-Fi settings in time when wi-fi connection is active.

Anyway ! Thanks, awasome

Sorry my keyboard was glitchy....

I want to make custom wallpapers for the touchpad,but the normal 1024x768 aspect seems to be off

Is it just me or what is going on. I know a screens resolution doesn't just change nor possible but it just seems the aspect is off
[TouchPad Development] amenditman:
I read somewhere that you need to make wallpapers 1536x1024 for the TouchPad. That will make them display correctly.

Sorry, don't know where, it's just in my notes.

Unable to download

Hi, is there any other alternative mirror from where I can download the latest alpha version of CM7 for my TP? The goo-inside.me mirror is not working for me. When I try to download from it using Firefox, it just keeps looping in the 10 second wait part and when I try Internet Explorer, it goes upto 99% completion and then gives an error message saying the connection times out and the download fails. Please help me with this!

Anyone here knows how to fix the shutdown problems? I mean when i tried to shut it down my HP Touchpad. It doesn't shutdown, it restart everytime.... I'm on Alpha 3.5 version. Thanks in advance!
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
I tried mixed and g only and that didnt seem to make a difference. I've since acquired a 5th router which is a Belkin and I haven't had a drop in 2 days. It dropped once the first day I got it, but that was on 5ghz and to be expected. There's definitely something about certain routers the TP wifi doesn't like. It's probably something a driver setting could fix, but without having access to the HP source drivers, there's not a lot anyone can do at the moment.
[TouchPad Development] Staticaxe:
I'm seeing the same thing. Was just wondering about that.
[TouchPad Development] LordDavon:
Anyone else experiencing wifi disconnects, when you are using Bluetooth? I have the Onlive app, and the Onlive Universal Wireless Controller connected via Bluetooth. When I have the controller connected, and fire off the app, my wifi speed drops, and after a minute, wifi disconnects.

If I turn off Bluetooth, there are no issues with the Onlive app running, or with wifi. Only when Bluetooth is enabled.

I am using CM Alpha 3.5, on a HP TP 32GB.
[TouchPad Development] deanventure:
Ive noticed when i open apps it doesnt fit the screen

The aspect is off..... is there a fix for this

is there a way to get rid of, or hide the dock bar and soft key all together so there is only the home screen because it seems to me to be to blocky and un needed becausei i use button savior
[TouchPad Development] jonjon68:
interesting. I'm the opposite. When I either restart in to CM or restart in to WebOS the touchpad shuts completely down. Now if I chose boot back in to WebOS once I hold down the power button it will go directly in to WebOS but it will never reboot in to it. Curious but not something that bothers me all that much personally. Your situation would be more irritating.
[TouchPad Development] rhidalgo1973:
HP touchdroid does not power off

Same issue here, well I'm glad that I'm not alone on this...lol...Please someone help!!!! :confused:
[TouchPad Development] deanventure:
now this isnt a fix nor is it something i do all the time, just when it NEEDS to be shut off but i reboot it into webos then i shut it down from webos and it stays off
[TouchPad Development] ramcharger1979:
Thanks for this Guide. Worked perfectly on my wife's touchpad.
[TouchPad Development] MrVegas:
For what its worth, I had my share of wifi problems but what I found that works for me it to change a setting on my router. By default, my router uses channel 11. So does every other router around me. Once I changed the channel from 11 to 9, I have zero connection problems. Yes my router is secure but that won't save you if you are on a channel too many other routers are using.

I hope this helps. I'm waiting for a compelling reason to update to 3.5.
[TouchPad Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
OK interesting, I too have just had this problem. When I long press, to shut down, I do not get the typical "shut down menu". It just shuts the screen dawn. No matter how long I press the button. It's as if the shut down command has been re-written.

Steps I have tried;

1- (from sleep/ black screen) touch top right button (wake) long press same button puts screen back to sleep, no matter how long I press

2- top left and bottom center same results

3- top and vol+ and then again w/ vol- same result. Needed to use rom manager to shut down
[TouchPad Development] Xaltotun:
It worked beautifully! I am enjoying dual OSes on the Touchpad.

I am trying to get Google Apps and Market, having some issues, but we'll see.
[TouchPad Development] bit1:
I just flashed a new Touchpad and received this error. To those getting it just uninstall and reinstall your novacom drivers and you should be good to go
[TouchPad Development] rhidalgo1973:
Well I have tried all the same but nothing seems to help to shut down the unit, I just follow what someone above replied, to just reboot to webos and shut down from there, it is not really what I was expecting as a solution but it seems for now that there is no other option, thanks for your reply as well.
[TouchPad Development] Crsdr37:
Have u guys updated to the latest moboot because my tablet shuts off fine ever since I updated to I believe .0.3.5
[TouchPad Development] rhidalgo1973:

does anybody faces youtube issue on alpha 3.5 , my tp display some random colors while running youtube video
[TouchPad Development] dundroid:
All videos? because I got couple of videos playing this trick on me, even on my android phone, butmost of the time smooth sailing, seemed to me like the uploader had a problem with the video.

---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

Did anybody solve the following yet?

- skype video chat

- Text to Speech

- inferior color display (videos. back grounds lack the smooth transition of color) for example in an image of the sky, the colors do not transition smoothly from light to dark, there seems like there are "steps" that you can notice.

can't complain the ROM is great but I was surprised that I see that in such a great display.

thanks
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
No. Why don't you go ahead and get started.
[TouchPad Development] javidw21:
hi,

I have a problem with dual boot... when reboot to webos, only can reboot in the webos, is not possible reboot in android, I have reinstalled moboot 0.3.5 and cwm but has not solved anything :mad::mad::confused:

I need to press any key when restart webos?

TKS!!!

edit... i install in webos CYBOOT from preware and i can reboot to cm7 but moboot not is working, i think the dual boot is f..king, moboot menu is ok when from android i restart and CWM is ok also
[TouchPad Development] krarvind:

[TouchPad Development] supercarrera:
I updated from Alpha 1 and it seemed to update okay except it didn't load the google search widget. I looked away for a while and now the screen is black and it won't turn on. Any suggestions?

Update: Never mind, got it working by pressing power and the center button for several seconds.

Netflix not working for me on 2.1?+??
[TouchPad Development] krarvind:
I can see facebook fine, but no gmail or maps. i can't see them from my phone either, so must be a market issue. no wifi issue here at all
[TouchPad Development] kidkitna:
I don't think it's the alpha update. I think it's the Netflix update. I updated my app and then video played but there was no picture. I then reverted the app to the previous version and it plays just fine. I would restore the previous version since I don't think you can uninstall updates for the Netflix app.

Hope that helps.
[TouchPad Development] keith43:
Still having problems with Facebook, any one know howto get it to work properly?
[TouchPad Development] Nasty64:

[TouchPad Development] swaze:
You need to get fake GPS from the market and then set your location and Facebook will work perfectly fine.
[TouchPad Development] jackdonogy:
Had Alpha 1 installed, wasn't the greatest experience.

Upgraded to webOS 3.0.4 and installed CM7 A2.1.

CWM installed without any issues and now haven't experienced any problems that I encountered with alpha 1.
[TouchPad Development] ks2hot4u:
Great job on the walk through, just wondering about

Step 7 "6) once its done installing, install your gapps like before, then reboot."

Why do this ?? I never did and my market is fine?
[TouchPad Development] krarvind:
May be its not needed, i put that in there if the cm7 update deleted the old gapps. In I9000 phone, CM7 script seems to do that,. Good to know its not needed.
[TouchPad Development] shorty87:
I updated to the new alpha. How can I tell the difference? What should "about tablet" show?
[TouchPad Development] krarvind:
Just updated the OP to say this

When rebooted, to check if you are on 2.1, go to settings, about tablet and build number should be GRJ22.
[TouchPad Development] javidw21:
upssss cyboot has restored the dual boot and all is ok now

if someone has the same problem CYBOOT IS THE SOLUTION:o
[TouchPad Development] derausgewanderte:
I do have the same exact problem after updating the webos kernel. it went back to moboot 0.3.3. I installed 0.3.5 but it still doesn't boot into CM7

for me cyboot would not help.

got it fixed thanks to Leo's (Xron) tip.

background (just in case somebody else runs into this)

I found an update for UeberKernel in webos. Installed it and rebooted. On reboot it greeted me with moboot 0.3.3. Not sure where that came from. I had 0.3.5 installed before the kernel update.

I could not get passed the splash screen and it would reboot. It actually went into a boot loop and I had to stop it by pushing the power and volume up button at the right time upon boot (there maybe a standard procedure I am not aware of, this worked for me).

I booted back into webos, got moboot 0.3.5 and booted into USB and acmeed moboot to the latest version.

However, I still wasn't able to boot into Android. Now it would get passed the splash screen and right when the animation would start it rebooted. I uninstalled the Ueberkernel in webos hoping that would fix it. that in fact brought back moboot 0.3.3 (what?). I got my kernel update in webos back then reinstalled moboot 0.3.5. I still wasn't able to boot into Android (no surprise this time).

Finally I flashed the latest rom over the none-booting one and that fixed the problem. Back to dual boot. So in this case cyboot did not help.
[TouchPad Development] Nondescript Van:
so, I accidentally deleted my cm-data partition. how would I go about bringing it back through novaterm? Specifically, what command line switches should i use with the lvm command?

edit: at the very least could somebody tell me how large the partition should be. I believe I know how to do the rest.
[TouchPad Development] rhidalgo1973:
It did happen to me once but I just reboot the unit and problem was gone! hope it helps..:)

Shutting down from A 3.5

I have the same problem. Let the system reboot to moboot 0.3.5, then

use your volume rocker to select "Shutdown" - press the center button to

activate and your system will actually shutdown and stay that way until

you turn it back on. Hope this helps.

NTFS

Hey lads hows everyone!

just want to say this is just awesome! android and CM3 have given new life to this Touchpad!!

quick question, i was transfereing movies to the touchpad and noticed that it was in FAT32 which has a filesize limit of 4gb, so i want to conert to NTFS.

The problem is ive got alot on the drive.

my question is, first can i use NTFS? second, can i move all the files onto my computer, format/convert and transfer all the stuff back on and no problem?

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] amenditman:
Best bet is to compress the movies to a filesize less than 4 GB.
[TouchPad Development] sneef:
What was fat32? And what were you wanting to use NTFS for, an external drive? Not sure what you're asking. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] NewZJ:
No, you cannot reformat your touchpad to ntfs, your only options are to convert the movie to smaller size or split it into multiple files
[TouchPad Development] imromulus:
Ok I need some help. I installed CM7 and its working great thus far, minus WiFi being a bit flaky but my concern is with ClockWork Recovery.

It installed but I can't get it to actually enter into the clockwork recovery screen. When I hold the TP power button and press reboot > recovery it takes me too moboot screen and the clockwork recovery isnt an option. The options I have are

boot WebOS

boot CyanogenMod

boot WebOS Recovery

reboot

shutdown

I want to intall the Market and I can't do that until I can get into clockwork recovery. Thanks a lot for the help guys.
[TouchPad Development] Cobjones:
download the clockwork zip and flash or install using acmeinstaller.
[TouchPad Development] imromulus:
How would I go about installing it using acmeinstaller?
[TouchPad Development] mountaindewmi:
You would install it just the same way as you installed moboot and cm7...

Download the CWM file (update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip) and put that in the cminstall folder on the root of the 'sdcard' on the touchpad.

Then run the ACMEinstall command.
[TouchPad Development] imromulus:
So than remove the other files from the cminstall and only leave the CWM file? I believe I understand now, thanks you.
[TouchPad Development] krarvind:
yes thats exactly how.
[TouchPad Development] mountaindewmi:
That's right. If you installed CM7 and moboot the folder should have been cleared so it is probably empty. Just put the CWM file alone and run the installer.
[TouchPad Development] imromulus:
Ok I am on gonna try it out, thanks. Let you know if I get it.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

I did and I was not able to get into recovery. While in the ROM Manager what "flash clockwork recovery" should I pick? Am I using the wrong flash? or the wrong CWM file?
[TouchPad Development] imromulus:
Got it up and running, thank you guys for your help!
[TouchPad Development] kalala:
.

Can we install custom kernels for CM7? Like the Chevy or slayher ones? Because I have SetCPU running but it doesn't seem to make a difference whether I turn both cores all the way up or turn one all the way down and the other halfway at about 900Mhz.

Am I doing it wrong?
[TouchPad Development] GrandMstrBud:

[TouchPad Development] imjimmy:
Someone HELP please.

After executing this commant on Touchpad:

novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller

It installed some files. Then it gave the error:

"" no cminstall dir found. nothing to install"

" Power off when ready"

However it does NOT power off. Now it's stuck on this screen.

I CANNOT power off the touchpad using the power button. NOTHING happens. If I press the volume button it just gives a message volume down button pressed.

Someone PLEASE HELP!! My touchpad has been stuck on the black clockwork screen for 2 hours now.. I can't turn it off or do anything.. Thanks in advance!
[TouchPad Development] amenditman:
Have you tried the combination of the "Home" button and the "Power" button? Hold both down until you see the screen change, usually 15 - 30 seconds. This is a hard restart command.
[TouchPad Development] imjimmy:
Thanks a million. You saved my life!

It's booted now in the standard Web OS interface.

Now what to do? Should I try installing android again. Any insight on why the "CMinstall directory not found,nothing to install error might have come? "

The directory is there in the touchpad BTW, with all the files.
[TouchPad Development] amenditman:
Sorry to say, that kind of error is usually related to the object in the seat facing the device. Double check all commands, syntax, and PATHs you type. Might fix the problem.

Please click the thanks button, if you've got it send a little something to the developer after you get it up and running.

hi i am having a problem i have put the acmeinstaller in the directory of were my command is taking files or w.e you call it but when i do this it gives me this problem

i get this i dont know what i am doing wrong i even tried putting the ACMEInstaller into the the palm, inc folder but still doesnt work

Boot loop

I read the thread (twice sa per suggestion) and watched the YouTube video then downloaded the files. Went through the process correctly but wasn't fully successful.

CWM boots so I choose Android.

I see the CynogenMod loading... logo then nothing for a few seconds then it reboots to CWM.

Suggestions, solutions, helpful ideas?

I did search this thread and others plus the forum for another example of what I am experiencing.

1. I am using CM9 Alpha 2

2. I found ACMEinstaller (v1) in the linked thread but not v2 As is referenced elsewhere. Anyone have a current link to ACMEInstaller v2?

3. I am able to boot into CWM and have done the clean all/factory reset

Thanks in advance.
[TouchPad Development] gaww:
Since you have CWM, the guide and the modules you downloaded and used are working. I would then assume it is the ROM itself.

I have not tried CM9 - am using classicnerd and it works fine. You might try to re-download CM9 and re-flashing it. If it does not work, try another ROM.

I just used this guide and related modules again the other day after having used it for the first time 3-4 weeks ago, so I would focus on getting a ROM that works.
[TouchPad Development] pgzerwer:
You are asking this question in the wrong forum thread. This is the old CM7 thread - I was amazed to see this thing even show up as active again!
[TouchPad Development] OrangeTang:
I am new to the touchpad but have a tiny bit of android experience. I wanted to make sure that any .zip in the desired directory would be installed via the ACMEInstaller, as in custom roms, and also whether or not I would need to use this way of installing a rom rather than using CWM in order to keep WebOS intact. Thanks for the help.
