I have flashed alpha 3. Can I use CWM to flash xron or should I should start from scratch with the new update?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I will always suggest a fresh install by uninstalling first then re install. Reason is this is still very buggy and you never know what may get left behind that can cause issues.

Just tested the install.

* sound good

* WiFi connected on first try

* but need to work out a few issues with setup/gmail/market.

Looks promising tho

Edit...

While sound is fixed, sdcard is screwed up. I will work on this for a bit. But won't be released until its working correctly.
[TouchPad Development] jbird1955:
Actually did mine as an update via cyan recovery. Went very smooth and retained all my settings.

After a full day with it wifi seems perfect, reconnects every time roaming into and out of hosts. As I only saw the SoD once on Alpha 2, I can't complain about 2 never mind 3 (nothing at all so far). Painting of new/next scene is very smooth, it looks like you guys nailed this one.

While I do miss my Streak with HC, this tab is performing so well I can't put it down.

That said, are two months done yet? Can't wait for you guys to release ICS after this effort!

[TouchPad Development] denny02ng:
Can you access the market?, i couldn't after updating thru cmod.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I can access fine thru market. Still having issues with sdcard mount. I did fix it so we can flash thru cwm but after it boots it breaks sdcard.
[TouchPad Development] jbird1955:
Sure can. Have even updated a couple of apps too.

Not seen any issues at all.

I'm confused Leo, you have an external SD? I didn't think they came with one? Of course mine is the base model 16GB (no phone).

Joe
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
the way cm7 installs is to trick the system to thinking it's sd basically so it can share the "media partition" with webOS. So, no I don't have a SD Card, but the system thinks it does.
[TouchPad Development] klockk:
I definately had the SD Card COrrupt issue after installing CM7 Alpha 3 via ACMEInstaller....

The fix was to actually move the tenderloin a3 file on to the touchpad, then use CWM Recovery to apply ZIP from SDCard... after that.. my corrupt SDCard error went away and everything seems fine again....

Too bad I lost all my WebOS Settings in the process.. which didnt fix the issue... :( The above CM7a3 re-install method fixed it...
[TouchPad Development] hiverli:
what sd card you guys talk about. Does TP has sd card slot?
[TouchPad Development] Puenos:
guess they are talking about the way how CM7 tricks the touchpad to think we have.. which we obviously can't, because there's no slot built in our touchpad.. so no.. no "real" sd
[TouchPad Development] krarvind:
figured out the install issues leo?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
yup yup, back in business. It was quite the adventure but now working on 3 roms. Basically had do delete partitions and rebuild a couple manually, erase entirely, webOS back then it was back in business.

I'm gonna take my time doing alpha 3. but, now that I figured out how cm7 got their modules and libs, I may start constructing a more xron Rom. Also got it to flash thru cwm finally. Updated my adb tool to install moboot, cwm, and made more simplified menus.

hope to work on it this afternoon. But so far android is running good, headset switch working good, speed is ok, but I will completely have to re-theme framework-res, systemui, settings, opt pngs, debug, delanguage, put speed tweaks back in, zipalign, and more
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Updated link in the OP. Please wipe/factory reset in recovery, wipe cash, flash rom, and test.

I have flashed this at least a dozen times this way today. Please give feedback but if you are here to complain, don't download and you should consider selling your tp because complainers and trollers are not wanted :)

If you find issues please let me know and if I can fix it I will, if not, oh well, enjoy the free rom :)

Thanks,

~leo

Edit: Found out the issue with Headset can be resolved if you boot in to webOS, copy over your music, then boot back to android. Seems to work fine for me.

sorry... I should have been more clear about this.

with the stock MX Player, 80% of my 720p MKV videos will play fine

with the stock MX player + ARMv7 codec, 100% of my 720 MKV videos will play fine

My Samsung Galaxy smartphone's default Samsung Video Player will play 100% of them perfectly, out of the box...

Change permissions to what?
[TouchPad Development] krook6023:
I am going to try again...witha fresh build.prop (its likely I have been editing it) and report back... I was thinking that we may need to mask to a officially supported device. But if this works than all the better.
[TouchPad Development] omair2005:
have you tried rockplayer lite. I prefer it over mx.. no codec necessary just use sw decoding when playing video.
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
This is still technically an alpha released as I know, some things still aren't going to work as well *yet* (the devs are awesome). For now though if what you have setup works - go with it - it isn't going to hurt anything.
[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
I just downloaded it. Whenever I try to play a video, it freezes up and

I had to force close it. :( (on all of my videos, even low-quality AVI/MP4

less than 100mb in size)

Not sure if this is because MX Player is still installed?
[TouchPad Development] krook6023:
Not sure if you have made any other edits...but this will not work for me.
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
go to recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot.

give that a try
[TouchPad Development] herrdude:
It might be nothing but it seems you have spaces on both sides of your hyphen.Try without the spaces. (I am second guessing myself here)

For what it's worth I use this taken from another site:

ro.product.brand=tmous

ro.product.name=htc_pyramid

ro.product.device=pyramid
[TouchPad Development] aleksb:
I have also amended the build.prop with success. A reboot made sure the changes took effect. I used the free root explorer app from the market to make the changes. Did not need to change any permitions at all.

[TouchPad Development] shane369:
I am using the same built.prop mods that leo mentioned and I have no issues with Asphalt 6. The only thing I noticed was the menus were pixelated but when it came down to actual gameplay, I couldn't have asked for anything more. Also, I am thinking the issues with the menu is probably a chainfire setting I need to change anyways.

@Leo on Asphalt 6 do you have a issue with the menus??
[TouchPad Development] klockk:
Swype on the TP

Still waiting for somebody to fill me in on the Swype for TP...

Can I just grab the files from my EVO? Or do I need to find them elsewhere?

I looked in the 3.3.3 file of XRon, but never found them in there.. I must have downloaded after Leo removed the files.. :(

I need my Swype! :confused:

Thanx'!
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Just register for the beta at swype.com. That's what I do/did. The just brought the apk over to the TP.
[TouchPad Development] klockk:
I've already done that.. I have it on my EVO and my Wife's EVO...

But the Swype installer wont install Swype on the TouchPad..... Unless you know something I dont...
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Mine installed fine. Must be one of those random things that works on one Tp and not on the other. But I'm using Swype just fine. Although the "sprint" skin isn't working, but I expected that.

EDIT: Scratch that. I'm an idiot. I was thinking Slide-It. I have Slide-it working great and somehow got the two confused. Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue...

Sorry about that. :(

[TouchPad Development] krook6023:
There are no spaces at all, must just be the way it looks...

I have edited my build.prop a hundreds of times so I am sure that part it right. I am going to try uninstalling the app and wiping the cache partitions. Then installing again to see if it helps.

If all else fails I may try looking for the closest supported device to our APQ8060-Adreno 220 hardware and edit accordingly.

[TouchPad Development] firmbiz94:
Thanks for the sweet rom ..two questions ..I keep getting a parsing error when i try to side load any apk not from the market..it kind of sucks since I use alot of apps that are not from the market ..also my time is not right ..any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. .I think the touchpad iis pretty awesome now btw and i think its only gonna get better ..I was raping my nieces ipad2 last night loading internet sites ..made me feel good knowing they paid like 700 for it
[TouchPad Development] RyanTX:
I've tried searching the thread for the answer, and I probably read right over it, but since the build.prop is edited, will apps be tablet optimized? Or is that solely based on the os? (cm7 vs honeycomb)
[TouchPad Development] Ravynmagi:
I had the same problem. Controlling the vehicle was extremely difficult with A6 for some reason. It seemed like the car would either barely respond or respond too much, sending me swerving all over the place. Couldn't finish a single lap. Gave up on that.

Granted, I'm not the best driver in racing games, but this seemed much worse than normal for me. :)

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 PM ----------

It it possible to run the tablet optimized YouTube app on this ROM? Or does that only work on Android 3+?
[TouchPad Development] reverendkjr:
Why is there a random hiss and pop coming from my speakers? Is anyone else experiencing this?
[TouchPad Development] Ravynmagi:
No, my speakers sound pretty great. No hissing with YouTube, Netflix, PlayerPro, MX Player, Rockplayer, and Moboplayer apps or games I've used so far.
[TouchPad Development] Bannerman:
I'm noticing it also but I thought it was from a game that kept crshing (ROC, Race of Champions). When it screwed up in game play I exited out (home button) and then the game was still playing in the background through the speakers but not clear, much like the hiss and pop sound you descibe. I killed all apps and and no longer an issue. Perhaps there is an app running in the background not shutting down correctly ?
[TouchPad Development] Hitomics:
Need some help!

I just finished installing this, followed all the steps correctly, and now every time I try to mount the touchpad on my PC it says the drive is corrupted and that I must format it. However I can access everything with the android file explorer.

Any idea how I can fix this?
[TouchPad Development] havikx:
i'm sad to see this thread going the way it is. most of the problems people are posting have already been discussed. multiple times. sometimes we forget that this is an alpha?

here hoping to seeing some 'development' in this thread soon. i'm trying to figure out how to take the 2.2 system dump and make it into a zip. but its way more then i've ever done, don't expect anything. just seems like there would we ways to make this 2.3 more stable if we had properly working 2.2.

Thanks

First time I am able to post to this thread. Must agree, way too much with the problems and not enough praise.... at least lately.

Love my Xronified Touchpad. Just recently was able to get Dead Space and Real Racing 2 going on it. Lovin every minute.

Keep it going Leo!
[TouchPad Development] Heart1010:
Also want to know that. TweetCaster for example (or gmail,...) have a tablet view but I don't get it, I get the normal phone view :o

So is this related to cm7 we use or is it build.prop related?
[TouchPad Development] MiSfit211:
I have made some real progress tweaking this thing tonight and i am now in love with this beast :)

I am not liking setcpu with this device. it has caused many issues for me. I went to cpu master and all my problems went away. So please guys if anyone using setcpu has a problem with lag on this rom try cpu master. thanks.
[TouchPad Development] lifeisfun:
Can you describe what problems did you experiance with setCPU?

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] flashypants:
Yeah I'm curious too, I use No Frills.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I found a couple cool tablet apps. One is to search for tablet apps and the other is like a tablet market. Problem is, no matter how many times I change the build.prop to match another tablet, most of the apps aren't working.

I will keep messing with this because some of these apps would be quite nice on this tablet.
[TouchPad Development] joehank:
gameloft

I went on the gameloft site from work on the pc to get some games. I chose a free game and a screen popped up that wanted my phone carrier and phone model.

I thought it was going to be like an ebook thing, where i could order it and it will go to my device when i turn it on. So is ordering from the TP the way to do it, and if so will it ask for the same info? Should I put in the info that you all are using in that device ID fix?

BTW, got the latest rom installed and running, no wifi problems. Thanks everyone for your help with that

@ Reverendkjr really good youtube video. I followed along as I installed this rom and it helped alot...
[TouchPad Development] zubin111:
Great Work

I have been using this since yesterday and this is just amazing!! Probably its less buggy than many of the custom roms made on the factory firmware!! So that itself outweighs any negative comment or feedback!! I have never been so happy with the touchpad before!! Keep up the good work and thanks a lot!!:D
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
No Frills CPU is another one to try, I have had no problems with it at all.

How are some of you able to load Swype on the Touchpad?????
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
didn't i see posted in here that Swype beta is now compatible with the tp ?

did you register at Swype beta website ?

if no go, pm me.
[TouchPad Development] Hitomics:
I tried this but it didn't work.

I think I had a similar problem when installing one of the versions of CM7 and iirc the fix was going back to WebOS and running a patch on preware, but I can't remember what that patch was and I can't find the thread where I read about that.

Also if I try to mount the touchpad on the PC USB drive on WebOS the same thing happens, PC just tells me that I need to format the disk drive.

Does anyone remember what the fix was?
[TouchPad Development] bigdbag:
I've searched through a bit of the posts in this thread, but have found no definitive answer for what is definitely a wifi issue. Wifi worked the first week, and then I rebooted. It locks up, crashes, and just goes wonky in general. What's the solution if there is one?
[TouchPad Development] JSmurfy:
ok so i thought it was only me.. set cpu was acting a fool big time with mine also..

i tried no frills and am still using on mine.. where as my wifes tablet has nothing at all. and its rock solid
[TouchPad Development] Smartphonz:
Overclock?

I am new to increasing CPU speed but I've always been concerned about putting too much load on the device and not having it last as long as it was possibly designed. Can anyone provide a safe operational speed to operate at that doesn't make the battery life suffer? Thanks
[TouchPad Development] kingtuk1:
I know a lot of the tablet apps I was trying to put on will only work on Honeycomb.

I guess I will just have to wait until ICS...
[TouchPad Development] :
try to set your router channel to 6 (haven't tried other channels because this seemed like the most common channel to solve the issue), I (and others) have had this problem, where wifi works at first then it can never connect and if you try to go into wifi settings it just force closes. If that's the case with your wifi then hopefully changing the channel will work, it did for me.

Cheers

My status bar disappeared. Is there a way to bring it back without rebooting?
[TouchPad Development] flashypants:
Try pressing the hard button in the middle of the tablet in portrait.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
For sure. Stock. Don't put any load that wasn't factory design if you're worried.

These chips are the same chips that the 1.5ghz chip on the special edition. We are ok with pushing these up to 1.7ish. Misfit is very good at this and a lot of sprint custom roms are using his tweaks. He will put it thru many tests before anything gets to you guys.

Trust me, we don't want to screw up our tablets either...
[TouchPad Development] irishnation09:
Try the HTC pyramid one posted q few pages back. Haven't run into any problems so far. Got backstab HD, gta3 and shadowgun running nicely. Seems like anything adreno works better than the nexus ones posted. I still can't play 3d games while using spb shell tho. They load but freeze once the game starts.
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:

[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I downclock mine to 1.08 ghz with no noticeable drop in performance, even with SPB Shell. Battery life got better too.
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
hey leo - Happy New Year!

i've never bothered with setcpu and the others, as stock works great -

and one less factor in the troubleshooting if you have an issue.

but i seem to recall that when i setup preware and that other webOS stuff,

it was oc'ed to 1.5 ...

so we're at 1.2 on android side now, without any oc ?

can i see setting somewhere without installing an app (no frills, setcpu, etc) ?
[TouchPad Development] MiSfit211:
Well as of right now I am having trouble extracting ramdisk from boot image. Not the same process as HTC roms. So I am using these CPU apps to adjust the CPU threshold. All though the sweet spot for this processor is 1.5 by far. I still do all my testing at the stock speed so you guys get the best bang with our roms. But setcpu was causing serious lag in Nova 2 and causing quadrant standard to fail CPU tests. I swapped it out and Nova runs like its supposed to and my scores went back to where they were supposed to. On all my benchmarks.
[TouchPad Development] bit1:
Leo, I used the Galaxy Tab 7". Its the GT-P1010.

[TouchPad Development] calash:
Quick question on the Gameloft games. I picked up 9mm and MW2 yesterday, being that they were both .99, but neither runs very well on my Touchpad. I am running 2.8, did a clean install to make sure I did not have any issues. SetCPU has the tablet running at 1.7 with the OnDemand Gov.

I tried both with and without the various build.prop changes. I have been having less issues with the stock settings.

9mm runs but only shows shades of red. MW2 runs but it studders and lags a lot and eventually locks up to a blue screen.

Is anybody else able to run these games smoothly and how are you setup if you can?
[TouchPad Development] Hitomics:
Anyone? Please?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
No worries man. Next update should be ready soon for gamesoft fixes for performance.

I got this Rom installed and I had to go back to webOS. I had a galaxy tab at 1 point and loved honeycomb. There are just too many weird things with this. I'm not trying to bash, its just not for me. It was nice having my android apps back though.

Is it not possible to port honeycomb?
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
This is still an Alpha release remember, so still has bugs and not all features

Although it is a beta from Leo, its still come from an Alpha base from the CM team

Not much point in porting Honeycomb as there is no source to make a build from only SDK's and the source is out for ICS now

Also bear in mind this was never an Android Tablet and was always a WebOS tablet that some very clever people have managed to get Android running on
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
care to list the weird things ?

just curious.

not being honeycomb doesn't make something weird, does it ?

and what honeycomb things do you have with webOS ?

I still havent find something to see the TP running slow,thats why i am curious about it.
