I have a question about wallpapers. What is the best resolution to use?

When my Touchpad was running webOS, I made sure all of my favourite

wallpapers were cropped to 1024x1024. When the Touchpad is in portrait

mode, it displays 768x1024.(cutting off the left and right) When the Touchpad

is in landscape position, it displays 1024x768(cutting off the top and bottom)

It has always worked fine.

Those wallpapers are still on my Touchpad. When I boot into XRON Android

and try to change wallpapers(the same ones that are still in a folder on my

Touchpad), the wallpapers are zoomed in. This made the wallpapers look

fuzzy. I did try changing wallpaper setting to vertical as well as horizontal,

but that didn't help.

Is this an issue with how Android Gingerbread handles wallpapers on a tablet?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. :)
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Yeah, im talking to myn now. Virus has been busy getting his business up and running.

we will work on a couple different roms once ics is out..that im sure of. It's hard for some of us to work on multiple devices. Im dedicating all my time to the touchpad. too many devs in the 3d forums. Almost all roms are the same
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Use the HP touchpad wallpaper changer app. that should fix the problem.
[TouchPad Development] jzen:
*screams like a girl*

*pees a little*

Hell yeah!
[TouchPad Development] life:
Any and all further development on our touchpad is a definite positive. Looking forward to it.

Also on a side note, 2.8 has been running stable for 2 days now without a reboot. dont know what the constant rebooting was all about but im glad its over, and i didnt have to do anything but let it sit. still cant read sd card/media partition. but thats not a big problem.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
yeah but that could be why the reboots. I've had one here or there but the sd card/media partition is a problem. especially if you want to share stuff between webOS and Android.

But, i haven't booted to webOS in a couple weeks now. now starting to think it should be all Android.

BTW, MYN loves the XRONified rom. says its soooo much smoother... One of the best compliments i've gotten from a very good dev. How cool is that.
[TouchPad Development] jzen:
Just like to let everyone know that gameloft is having a .99cent sale on all their games!
[TouchPad Development] iamtek7:
Nice Atta Boy!!

You're doing damn good work and we all look forward to what you guys bring forth in the future!

Thank YOU!!!
[TouchPad Development] chicle_11:
Neither did I, without changing the build.prop. It ran fine with the TP build. The problem started after I did the full secure erase in webOs. The issue is not gun bros, but market. The game runs well after side loading it, I just can't update or install from Market. :confused:
[TouchPad Development] life:
well, to be honest we all have been telling how smooth this rom is, LOL.

And i agree, who needs webos, barely any dev'ing for it anyways.... (before i get bombarded with "many dev's have started working on webos since the firesale" I Know, its sarcasm..) but i would love to remove webos all together and just have android
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
for me it's hard to see how smooth it is compared to cm7 cause i've only installed theirs once. In the beginning.

BTW, Grand Theft Auto III is crazy good on this :)
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Guys, keep an eye on post #3 in the OP. I had it changed over to MiSfit. While he doesn't post nearly as much as I do, when he posts links, pay attention to them. He should have the touchpad by 3pm tomorrow... :)

Thanks gang and have a good night....

Is everyone getting an fc with gigabeat?
[TouchPad Development] InferiorL3gion:
How do I edit the build.prop?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
There is a video in the general section. Its easy to do.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I will look in to it.,..
[TouchPad Development] tommytomatoe:
Makes me wish I had one :-) Keep up the great work leo & company!
[TouchPad Development] InferiorL3gion:
I got it. I talked before I walked
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
We wish you had one too brotha.. start saving. I may be able to help if we find a good deal.
[TouchPad Development] bluedogtouchpad:
Very nice..... Thanks for doing this video. One thing that would be nice is if you could list all that you have on the TP that you are running. That thing looks awsum... Great job.
[TouchPad Development] benfikaman:
Try a factory reset through cwm or twrp, clear dalvik and cache twice and reload version 2.8
[TouchPad Development] bluedogtouchpad:
If you don't put in a quote for the question you are answering we don't know what your answer is for. Just a thought.
[TouchPad Development] benfikaman:
Hey Leo,

I had a thought today, and maybe you can clear this up for me. When I first got my touchpad, and was running webos 3.0.2 ( no android) audio was great in every way in webos: headphones, speakers, screen on, screen off, everything. Then shortly after hp gave us webos 3.0.4, and then ( still no android) distorted sound started showing up here and there in webos such as screen off.

The point I'm getting at is could the update from hp be the root of the audio distortion? Could we webos doctor back to 3.0.2, and then fresh install 2.8 and could that resolve the issue?
[TouchPad Development] tnynyn:
Having issues with the update. Whenever I try flashing to XRON 2.8 or cm7 3.5 rom, it would reboot during the "install package" part. I can boot into WebOS fine, but when I choose CyanogenMod from moboot, it would just reboot back to the moboot menu after the CyanogenMod splash screen. Any ideas? I already wiped cache, dalvik, and factory restored a bunch of times before trying to install the new rom. Also tried to reinstall with ACMEInstaller but same issue.
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
if the shoe fits, wear it ? :)

but i hear ya !

[TouchPad Development] davec1234:
Can't get that app to run, fc.

Deleted & installed from market, still fc.

Reading reviews in market, looks like a common problem.
[TouchPad Development] benfikaman:
Install stock file manager
[TouchPad Development] Studio1b:
installed on my TP works great keep the great tweaking UP
[TouchPad Development] kopitekid:
Hey Shrike, i've been through the exact same issue as you. My solution is as follows:

Install this app from the market place (FXR WiFi fix and rescue

Brilliapps) and run fix wifi. Sometimes it fixes it but very rarely. However when it doesn't get fixed it simply removes the profiles so that you can then go into your wifi settings, turn it on and enter your key.. Bang your back online.

I also find that changing the wifi channel on my router to channel 4 has helped stability a lot.

One thing to highlight is that i've got two 32gb touchpads setup exactly the same, one does work seemlessly and the other has these issues. Does seem to me like different hardware as stated earlier in this thread

Anyway hope this helps you mate
[TouchPad Development] calash:
To follow-up on my random reboot issue I have since upgraded to 2.8, fixed permissions (Habit from other roms) and since re-applied the build.prop changes. I have not had a reboot since that time.

Oddly Rom-Manager gives me a FC when starting. It is a minor issue since I do not actually need it but worth noting.

Wonderful ROM you have put together. Thank you :)
[TouchPad Development] jbird1955:
I'm finding that the solution is simply time. If you turn on the device (leaving wifi off), walk away for about 5 minutes, when you turn it on it comes up almost always on the first try.

I still fall back to a previous statement about order of occurrence (back in my CPM days and script writing). There's something that has to happen within the boot up prior to wifi coming available. This is kind of proven when after waiting a bit, when you enable wifi you'll see the antenna symbol on the bottom first prior to seeing the connections. In all other instances you see the connections and then there's no antenna.

I don't claim to be savy enough to know what this observation means but I do see it as notable.

[TouchPad Development] herrdude:
Out of curiosity, those who are using 2.8 what kind of battery life ae you getting?

I seem to be around 7 hours but I am not sure if that is decent or not.
[TouchPad Development] A.VOID:
WebOS estimates are 9 hours, and I always found those estimates high. I think 7 hours is good. Mine seems to be lasting about as long as I would expect.
[TouchPad Development] advocate2:
I've got my Tpad running 2.8 with the VTL launcher 1.7 from the Market. I made a contribution to Leo in appreciation of his works.

My Tpad is near perfect. With the next couple of refinements it will be perfect.

I know everyone is excited about ICS, but why would I want to mess with a perfect tablet just to have the newest doohickey?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Just an FYI,

Some of the gameloft games are going on sale for $.99. Adrenaline HD is available. Keep your eye out. All games will be $.99 for only 24 hours. I think it's going to be Sunday. Im buying them all...lol

Even if it says not compatible, we can mod the build.prop to get it working Im sure.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Thanks for the donation. While I strive for a perfect device at any given time, we will always have it in our flashaholic blood to want the most current software. Yes, there will be bugs when ICS hit just as this one has/had, we will plow thru them and get them right.

ICS is such a major overhaul on the way Android does business, it's hard to not want it.... So believe me when I tell you, you will flash it the days it's released to the masses.
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Speaking of which, are you and the over devs going to XRON ICS immediately when CM9 is released?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Maybe... I know the donators and beta testers will be the first...:). I believe you are both.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
For those who bought spb 3d shell can put it on Ur phones free. Just put on my 3d EVO at no charge. Makes that $15 even better.
[TouchPad Development] graffix31:
Sweet im a donator :-)
[TouchPad Development] Nathanation:
Yeah had it on my evolution 3d just installed on TP, it looks cool but I don't find I ever use it... prefer adw ex.
[TouchPad Development] swaze:
Ok I'm running 2.8 lite with the modified build prop and any gameloft game I try will run the gameloft intro screen and then a black screen forever. Anyone else have this issue. The game just wont start at all.
[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
the problem is that I now use my Touchpad running XRON all day long.... :D

I find the battery lasting anywhere between 4 to 6 hours, depending on

usage.

when it was running webOS, I probably use it only every 2 to 3 days.

(because there wasn't that much that could be done on the Touchpad)

battery life wasn't an issue... :)
[TouchPad Development] chicle_11:
I did it last night, for the third time. I guess third time was the charm, it worked!!

Thanks for the suggestions.
[TouchPad Development] spierce617:
Exactly what I was thinking also. Leo has done such a great job.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 AM ----------

Happened to me also. Did reboot and then it worked.
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
Wish we could clue into the wireless disconnects. Would it be helpful if people having issues would try and post router info like make/model/type of security used?

Brought my TP to work with me today to see how the wireless faired, no problems so far.

Home router:

Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT frimware and using 64bit WEP

No problems ever

Work access points:

Linksys WAP54G running stock using WPA2-Personal

No problems for about 4 hours

Netgear Wireless N150 WN604 stock using WPA2-Personal

Currently testing

I have a screen off time of 1 minute and my wireless is set to sleep with screen off in the advanced wireless settings/sleep policy.

To head off the security comments:

I know WEP is horrible security but luckily for me the squirrels around my house are still on typewriters and are too poor to afford devices with wireless technology. Will change to test some type of WPA on that device in the future.
[TouchPad Development] shane369:
It seems to be the gameloft games are hit and miss on the TP running XRON, does anyone have any personal experience with 9mm HD?
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
@Leo

as i tell my clients

1 man business, with some help, you do it your way ... no ifs, ands or buts ...

2 man partnership - work great - until they don't ...

adding more makes it that much harder to make sure all agree on everything

and the proper course of action ...

just saying ...

so many good devs - hard workers - should be good team.

looking forward to it !

but watch it - that Derek is a slacker :) always away on a cruise !

been with Myn's work since i got my og evo 4g supersonic

ps - your rom on the tp has been perfect !

thanks so much for enabling my new addiction !!!

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:21 AM ----------

from gameloft, i only have Asphalt 6 Adrenaline installed and working on tp.

but have EA Real Racing 2 installed and working on all 5 in my sig ! :)
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
You are correct. Someone else asked me the same thing and I put it in the thread, but not in the vid. I will put the info in the vid. Thanks for the suggestion!
[TouchPad Development] clhdpgh:
Hard to follow

Hello Leo,

Just a thought. I have been following this thread since it was at 70 pages. I have installed your rom in the past and thought it was great. I have not used it since you decided to go to Beta versions though.

When this thing got to around 200 pages it became a monster to try to follow and understand. I really think that splitting the Betas off into there own daughter forums and having a more structured forum may actually help the noobs and the devs find the info they need, and thereby make it easiler to follow.

There can be such a thing as TMI.

Just a thought though.
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
You know why this thread became a monster right? The betas are that good!

That being said I believe Leo is trying to revamp the OPs to put pertinent information right in the beginning to make it easier for everyone.
[TouchPad Development] shane369:
Did you have to make any changes for asphalt 6 to work? I've got rr2 on my 4s and LOVE it! Especially being able to play it through my apple tv and use the 4s as the controller. Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to give it a try on the TP!
[TouchPad Development] hammer7t:
I have found something similar in my tests. Try changing the security to WPA2-Personal with TKIP and not AES and see if that works...it did for me. B/G have no issues whatsoever for me and if I want to use B/G/N then TKIP seems to be best for me. I have a a DLink DIR-655. I have not had to change my wireless sleep policy...
[TouchPad Development] iSilens:
I got a bunch of no space left on device errors when installing, yet it booted fine.

Do I have anything to worry about?
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Video info updated. :) And here's the info I updated it with:

-The main weather/clock widget is HD Widgets.

-Second to the right is Tune In Radio Pro, Yahoo Sportacular, Evernote, and a built-in news widget from SPB

-Third to the right is a complete calendar panel built into SPB

-Forth to the right is a corkboard/note panel from SPB

-Fifth to the right is a clock panel from SPB

-Sixth to the right is a clock widget from SPB (Just there to show off the cool 3D world. )

-First left from main is a built in folder from SPB, the Wifi Fixer Widget, Es Task Manager widget, SetCPU widget and finally the FriendCaster Pro widget.

-Second left is a full weather panel from SPB

-Third left is a full moon phase panel from SPB

-And fourth left is a full flicker pic of the day from SPB

The fullscreen weather app towards the end is called 9S Weather
[TouchPad Development] irishnation09:
I can't get Backstab HD or GTA 3 to run while using spb shell. If I switch to go launcher or any other they run fine . Had this on all CM alphas and miui beta too . Only thing I have changed is brand and model in build prop.
[TouchPad Development] derindarbe:
I wanna thank you.

First i got the 2.2 vers. it was smooth and great but i got wifi problems

now im on 2.8 and its fantastic, nearly perfect.

my touchpad keept rebooting alltime when it went into standby, then i set up the lockscreen and the reboot problem was solved

so

thank you, andall who make that possible ;)

edit:

the only thing i wanna change is the status bar, can i change his position so that the home/back button etc are allways on the right side?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Sounds like it didn't wipe everything correctly and has some misc files. It may cause issues when downloading from Market.
[TouchPad Development] lifeisfun:
This is not complaint !

Now after about 2 months of use I believe all those WIFI problems other people have. I had 0 problems on 3 Touchpads at home ( 3 WiFi hot spots in the house channels 1, 6, 11 all use WPA2, same SSID same passwords)

Today I took one of them to work where you can locate about 20 different hot spots and the device was completely confused and scanning /connecting/disconnecting ... the whole wireless settings interface was laggy and unresponsive. Even several reboots didn't help.

Couldn't resist and took the other 2 there as well, one was OK for about 30 minutes and then started to screw up as well the other was confused immediately.

NO problems with any of them in WebOS and 4 other android phones or NookColor CM7 never had this problem before.

thx life 420

i put it on the right side on top. perfect ^^
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
Does the TP have an ad hoc mode scanning in the background?

As a client it shouldn't make any difference with all those wireless hotspots visible, unless it has previously associated to those hotspots

But then having too many hotspots with all those overlapping channels is never going to be a good thing, switch to 5ghz and your problems 'should' disappear
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
I believe it does due to the network notification, but I always turn that off. Fortunate for me I have never had wifi issues.

Anybody having wifi problems ever try just turning off the "Network Notification" setting?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Next build will have edited build.prop to play all gameloft games. Just tested asphault 6 HD and MW2. sick. buy them at $.99 while you can
[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
bought Asphalt 6: Adrenaline HD and it totally messed up

my new Samsung Galaxy Nexus... :( ended up uninstalling

it. game starts, but freezes the phone.
[TouchPad Development] lifeisfun:
I will try that.

Do you take your TP around or it stays logged in to one network all the time? Also do you turn Off WiFi or you leave it On 24/7?

Thanks

[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
Today is actually the first time I have had it out of the house. I have been testing a couple of access points at work to see if I have issues. The only thing that has happened so far is the signal from one access point got so week it dropped it and reconnected to the access point with a strong signal.

I leave wifi on 24/7 and have the sleep policy set that it sleeps with screen off.

Well, that would be possible home or where I can configure the AP but for travel changing channel is not possible.

[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
I have tried several different video players from the Android Market.

The only one that can play 100% of my 720p MKVs is MX Player

combined with MX Player codec for ARMv7. Without the ARMv7

codec, most 720p videos come up as a blank screen.

Quick questions:

(1)

Is it dangerous to use this ARMv7 thing when it's meant for other tablets?

(2)

why are there not video players that can use hardware decoding?

(3)

My Samsung Galaxy smartphone can play

all

of my 720p MKV videos

out of the box

with no need to download anything ... Is it possible

to take the default Samsung video player app and make it work on

the Touchpad with Android?

Thanks! :)
[TouchPad Development] krook6023:
tried that...said incompatible....will try again
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
did you change permissions and reboot? Working good with mine
[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
I can't even get those games to work on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus...

so I don't see how tricking it to think the Touchpad is a Galaxy SII

will work... :(
[TouchPad Development] JSmurfy:
i was just typing that no fair he types faster.. BOOOOOOO :eek:
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Well the update will have it in there. Works good for me.. and I think others.
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
Very odd I just threw a 720p video at MX Player using SW decoder and it played without any issue or stutter. I tried the armV7 and using HW still a slight stutter. Have you tried the SW decoder?

Anything we should be looking for besides the SoD and Wifi?

[TouchPad Development] yamilrx:
HP won't respond after battery drain.

Not sure if this is due to web os or us flashing but I did not use the TP for a few days and yesterday I went to flash the new xrom from here and it would not respond. Once in a while the red battery icon would show on the screen but nothing would happen. I tried holding power+vol.up +center button and nothing. It wasn't until a while later, I guess when it charged some more that it just showed Xron running and it worked like nothing had happened. I was able to flash the latest Xron 2.0 I have read while google searching the topic that people that had the stock web os and had the same issue after a full battery drain. I know I run into power off issues that I think it is off and a while later I just touch a button and android shows running. Very weird.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Ok, flashing now. I know why sound didn't work. Had nothing to do with the kernel actually.

If all goes as planned, expect an update tonight.
[TouchPad Development] rho789:
Seems good ! Waiting for your next release !!!!

Thanks for your work !
