What DivX players are people using? I'm using Rockplayer and the picture isn't very crisp, is that because we're really using a ROM designed for phones and therefore smaller screens so blowing video up to 10" blurs them?

Edit: the problem actually looks more like grainy vertical lines rather than blurring, like on old analogue TV that's reception isn't quite right.

Just curious if you got the headphone jack working? In Alpha 3 it was broken again....awesome job though
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Yeah, my 3d sound is amazing. But my Rom has beats audio and using beats headphones.
[TouchPad Development] MXFrodo195:
Has anyone found a fix to Facebook force closing? Words with friends does it also. I second Leo, Beats apk on here would be amazing. Loving the Rom, and no real bugs so far outside of app compatibility. Good job!

Guys..

I installed this over the Cyanogen alpha 3. Ever since.. I`ve had issues.. couple force closes ( which I can live with ) but the main thing is my HP will just shut off...and I have to hold power and front button for about 15 seconds to reboot it !!

The only thing I`ve done is remove a few apps from the /apps folder before zipping up and installed with CWM..

ANy ideas?

Wow...dream team for the little ol Touchpad!
[TouchPad Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Bro the truth be told, you are the great one;) If not for you we wouldn't have the ROM we do, the team assembled and the roms amazing future. My friend, I think I speak for many when I say,

Thank you​

In my long time on XDA forum you are by far, one of the finest
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Careful with the dream team talk. Remember the eagles. Didn't make the playoffs...lol

Its hard to keep up with teams like cm and evervolv who truly make android better. Myn is a mentor of mine so I'm thrilled to have an opportunity to work with these developers.

Leo, sent you another little something. ;)
[TouchPad Development] wingzero:
Leo & Team,

Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the Touchpad. I used to having the same wifi problem as some of the unfortunate but ever since switched to your rom, the wifi problem magically went away. I am enjoying my Touchpad more and more everyday. As a token of my appreciation, I had send you some beer fund. I am sure you'll put out some crazy roms after a few drinks.

leo,

i may have a possible quick fix for people having wifi issues. its a collective of other recommendations of different places on the interwebz. if it help people, maybe put it on front page?

step 1. settings>applications>development. change the device host name to something under 16characters.

step 2. settings>wireless>wifi>then click menu>advanced. change wifi sleep policy to never. this will help make sure once your connected, you stay that way. possible battery lose but its not bad for me at all.

step 3. this is the fun part. if you are having problems connecting to wifi, with the whole "disconnected....scanning...connnecting...disconnected.." problem, you will notice your wifi settings are slow to react. go into your wifi settings.

step 4. click your network. when you receive FC...click wait. then keep trying to click your network. it should register at some point. once it does...click forget.

step 5. click home and pull up notifications bar. click wifi off from the power controls bar.

step 6. setting>wireless>wifi settings. you should notice your menu is a little faster now. click your network, put in your password. you are now connected to wifi and probably won't get booted off for a while. if you have problems again...try the steps over.

hope this helps people having wifi problems. i didn't have them for weeks. all of a sudden it just wouldn't connect. even after a wipe and fresh install. these steps, in this order, helped.

PLEASE STOP POSTING ABOUT BUGGY WIFI. WE KNOW ITS BUGGY. THANKS

Thanks for this.
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
This'll prolly work too. I'm quite diplomatic.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I remember back when i was a noob, I was searching for a answer and someone posted a link to fix a problem i was having. I clicked it, went to google search. From that day on I figured I better search harder...lol
[TouchPad Development] Warjcowski:
wifi

I have wifi issues too. Usually after entering airplane mode or resetting. Im testing the latest fixes, but here is what I do and there is no need to reboot.

Turn off wifi.

Delete the file in this folder: /data/misc/wifi

Restart wifi and re-enter key

Side note: I tried copying this file when my wifi was working and then pasting it after it broke and that didnt work. Also, I am on moboot 3.05. Is this a commonality?
[TouchPad Development] VGSmatt:
I don't know about you guys, but when Leo talks about all the devs jumping in to work on the TP, I picture them all in one room, everyone with a TP and laptop, typing away, with only the glow of the screens to light the room. Maybe some Monster and Doritos on a coffee table nearby.

Keep up the awesome job, your ROM is the only reason I still have my TP.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
lol, wish that was the case...we would get more done..
[TouchPad Development] russg:
Here are some post on Twitter from Dalingrin over at CM.

"@dalingrin Isn't the ar6003 supported by the ath6kl as a stable wireless driver in the latest 3.2 kernel? is it possible to use that kernel?"

"@thnld the new ath6kl has no wext support, which Android uses. In addition Android needs a custom ioctl which it doesn't have."

As for my previous comments that everyone suffers from this, I meant everyone uses the same driver that is in CM7. So experience with WIFI can vary wildly.

CM9 isn't currently expected to have a better answer either.

Quote from Dalingrin: "HP has not released their wifi source code and the driver we're using isn't the best =( I haven't found a good alternative"

I don't know where the current driver came from but I suspect if we could find another tablet with the same chipset running Android we might have a chance. There is a company out there that has a driver for this chipset under Android but they would expect to license it.

See: http://www.intelligraphics.com/android-driver-development-0

I haven't given up searching but I haven't found a good source yet either.

---------- Post added at 04:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

I have long been a lurker/searcher. Just look at my join date vs. my post count. :)

It is hard to find a problem or question that hasn't already been asked/answered/discussed.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Agreed. The problem comes in when the threads get out of control size wise. It would be nice as a recognized dev to have the ability to delete unwarrent posts to keep it down some. or move it to a chat sub forum. Or better yet, have the ability to have sub forums within the thread. one for discussion, dev, questions...maybe a flashaholic weekly meeting...lol
[TouchPad Development] russg:
That's an idea for software development. :) Write code into a forum that automatically rewards the thread owner with such privileges. The thread gets promoted to a sub-forum and then to a forum with sub-forum abilities. Basically, reward those that create content and traffic that drives site hits.

BTW, I just read this post by Koush on Google+:

https://t.co/Bz2vh0D7

That guy is great and I agree with him 110%. I owe so many developers so much that I could never repay it all. I try my best to thank them and donate what I can. I also pay it forward by helping others. I also love IT, mechanics, electronics, and pretty much fixing/restoring broken or old things. I love to do those things and take advantage of the fact that I'm compensated for my IT work well enough that I do it for others for free but mostly because I enjoy it.

That's why I find my mouth agape when I see derogatory or disrespectful comments in forums about the work that someone has done for free and because they want to share what they love to do.
[TouchPad Development] zcrugby:
hey leo, i know this isn't something you learn how to do overnight... but i want to start learning how to do some of these stuff so i can help out weather it be for the touchpad or some other android device in the future. Im a first year computer science student at uni and very anxious to get deeply involved in a community like this. any starter tips? like should i be looking at your rom and just going through everything to see how it works and what not?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
yeah i read that before. Hes absolutely right. I donate all the time man. Shoot, if I am willing to give my barbar 40% tip, why not someone who spends hundreds of hours on something.

It's an important gesture one can show for support. I like a donation I got one time not so long ago. It was $1. but the good part was the comment. "i would donate more but Im cheap." how true...it wasnt' the money but that he did it. then another one for $2 with a comment, "im sorry it isn't much but it's all i could afford, if everyone just gave $.50 or $1 per week you could quit ur job and work for us.". While Im not a huge dev, Im dedicated to the cause. 90% of all money donated since day one has gone for the touchpads (all since the pot started for them) but it's not about the money, but dang, it's nice to get a hot coffee in the morning, or moutain dew late at night hammering out the hours on this.

But slowely things are changing to support the people really making a difference. every little bit does matter. Keeps the developement teams strong ya know.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
sure man. grab some programs.

* beyond compare (to compare files, hex, bins, so on)

* Winrar

* have dedicated linux partition (i have 7 linux partitions to share info with windows)

* patience

* good dev tools (gingerscript, adb tools, apk manager)

* you can google just about anything straight up. works wonders. ask the question in the address bar and search your brains out

* willing to make mistakes

* money to give ur wife/girlfriend to keep them happy while you dev

* and a couple good developer friends that can help you along the way

* kitchen

* compare rom folders. Find out the file structure and what each file/bin/lib/apk/framework do exactly

a ton more but theres a start for you.

thank you very much :)

And our very own tommyt new website look http://classictomatoe.net/ :-)
[TouchPad Development] Grizzy3:
Just wanted to add that after Step 6. You should forget the network before each reboot or before turning the touchpad off. If you don't then once you reboot your wifi won't automatically connect and the wifi settings menu will be laggy again. Of course this is only for the people who are having this exact issue.

Also, I have a Belkin router at home and I still had the same wifi issues so I'm not sure having a Belkin router is necessarily better.

Thanks for taking the time to put this guide up for everyone.

Anyone else having reboot issues after installing WebOS 3.0.5? I had to reinstall moboot after the upgrade, which was expected; however now when I boot to Android, about 3-5 seconds after the screen times out, the touchpad will reboot itself.
[TouchPad Development] life:
interesting, i just updated to webos 3.0.5, and haven't had a single problem. Didnt have to re-install moboot or anything. after the touchpad restarted i selected cyanogenmod and left it alone and its running flawlessly on xron 2.9.1.

I will add that i have been on moboot 0.3.4 since day one of having CM7 or xron on my touchpad. Only reason was that when i looked at the description for moboot 0.3.5, it was for the Native linux. Thats the only difference between 0.3.4 and 0.3.5 moboots, so i saw no need to update it.
[TouchPad Development] bentech4u:
i installed 2.9.1. but there is no android market on my menu.

please help .from where can i get android market

i installed gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip through CWM. but no luck

thanks
[TouchPad Development] life:
have you signed in to your google account?

meaning your gmail after you have established a WiFi connection.

also i didnt need the gapps, when i installed the rom, not sure what is in them but i have all the usual google apps without the gapps in the downloads.
[TouchPad Development] isanrap:
Sometimes the market appears when you sign in with your google account. Did you try that.
[TouchPad Development] bentech4u:

[TouchPad Development] kurtisnet:
For me, I use Beautiful Widgets' Wifi toggle to quickly get out of wifi hangs/loops/force closes. Once there is a problem with wifi connection (for example, when I click on Wireless and Networks in Settings and it hangs there) I'd just go to my home screen and will press the toggle switch. It turns the wifi off immediately without any force close messages. Then I turn it on and try again.

Normally wifi will work when I try a second time.

[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
I'm jealous you got that far. I bit the bullet and tried the update - stuck in an HP logo bootloop. Hoping I can fix without losing my XRON setup.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I upgraded and not can't get webdoc to work to get it back. Android is giving me major issues getting to work right. And recovery just won't load up right.

Was not worth losing all this for a stupid update
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
I guess I got lucky. I was intending to wipe and put 2.9.1 back in since I have been running 2.9 so when i saw the update was available I ACMEUninstalled then WebOS doctered my TP to 3.0.5. Had no issues other then the first boot took twice as long as expected.

I ACMEInstalled 2.9.1, moboot and CWM back in and it is running beautifully, didn't even get the reboots on xron.
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
amen - wasn't worth the trouble I am having now trying to get everything back. Lucky for me webdoc at least recovered 3.0.5 - going through setup now and then gonna try to just put moboot/cwm back on see where I stand.
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
lmao
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Good luck. Twrp won't work for me at all. Looks like cwm may be the only option. First hours repairing Linux and now this. Not good.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Does twrp work for anyone after the 3.05 update?
[TouchPad Development] russg:
Well I am hopeful that this gets sorted. I don't know how big the CM team is but maybe they just aren't talking to each other. Since team XRON has a full on team now maybe one of the kernel devs will have a look at this too. The more I look at this the more it would seem that Atheros has put out a lot of code for this line of chips but the devil is all the device specific headers that wrap it. That may be the part that some of have referenced about HP releasing, if they do.
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
Well acmeinstaller was able to put moboot/cwm back on no problems - having to restore from a backup of XRON from the 4th - hoping that works and all is well.

Not sure about twrp - never used it.

update: worked I didn't have to install a clean XRON at all, just used acmeinstaller with moboot and cwmrecovery. then from CWN restored my backup. Back up and running!
[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
I am a loyal XRON rom supporter. Ever since I installed XRON on both of my

Touchpads, I have not booted into webOS in weeks. (except the one time

that I accidentally chose webOS during the boot-up menu)

I can't even remember what webOS looks like anymore. :)
[TouchPad Development] newarkhiphop:
Same here, i have not booted into webOS since the first CM7 . There have been like two updates since them too
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
This update was the first time I had booted into it in I have no idea how long - but from what I gathered regardless doing the updates are a good thing - *shrug*

Lucky for me what was about to be a real PITA, ended up being averted since I had a recent backup.
[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
one of my two Touchpads was never used, still in the box... after I loaded XRON rom to the first Touchpad, I decided to take out the 2nd Touchpad. Had it booted into webOS and immediately shut it down.... then I loaded XRON rom on it, so it's as virgin as a Touchpad can possibly be. :)
[TouchPad Development] zcrugby:
should call it an untouchedpad
[TouchPad Development] bobrows:
Sounds like we need a step by step guide for updating webos to 3.0.5 so it doesn't damage our XRON builds.

When I read through the list of people that tried to go to 3.0.5 it is amazing that just about every possible outcome has happened from...

"went smoothly" to

"failed install, but everything fine on 3.0.4 and XRON", to

"caught in a boot loop".

Sounds like the basics are...AcmeUnistall

webos doctor

AcmeInstall

Anyone with more knowledge wish to create a nice "how to" like the original "how to install XRON"?
[TouchPad Development] IronFly:
i installed the update without any issue.

webos with uberkernel and govnah OC to 1.5ghz

Mooboot 3.5+CWM+XRON 2.9.1

did nothing particular, just downloaded the update, installed e rebooted.
[TouchPad Development] Bacchus69:
I downloaded the update and my TP rebooted bringing up moboot. When I finally got back into webos, it said the update had failed and wanted to download it again - so I just said screw it and booted back into XRON. With all the issues that have cropped up for others since, I guess I'm glad I am sometimes impatiant, lol.
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
That is exactly what it did to me, so I just forgot about it, lol.
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
vpn and rdc kick ass on the webos side,

especially when i can't connect from this side ...

just saying

and webos is different with some cool features
[TouchPad Development] zcrugby:
same thing here... how about we list the things we have installed in preware to see if there is anything that might be conflicting that we all have installed that the others dont have?

i have:

govnah

internalz pro

preware

uberkernel

aadd launcher tabs

eom overlord monitoring

ad blocker

advanced reset options

faster card animations

increase touch sensitivity

just charge

muffle system loggig

unthrottle download
[TouchPad Development] Moshe5368:
Ok, since everyone seems to have had different experiences with the webOS update, I will put in my 2 cents. I started by assuming that 3.0.5 would be like 3.0.4 was as far as patches.

First thing I did was to remove uberkernel and govnah. I left all other preware patches installed as most off them would probably be broken by the update.

Before removing uberkernel, I attempted to download the update and it failed 3 times. After removing uberkernel and restoring the palm kernel, I downloaded the update and installed with no problem. The process took about 30 minutes. As I had thought, most of the 3.0.4 patches from preware broke but with no ill effects. Seems the kernel must be stock for the update to work.

I did not lose moboot and was able to reboot into xron 2.0.1 with no trouble. The preware patches I had installed were:

Uberkernel

Govnah

EOM overlord monitoring

Muffle system logging

Remove dropped package log

Unset cfq io scheduler

Unthrottle download manager

Faster card animations Hyper version

Increase touch sensitivity

I also changed logging level to minimum and cleared logs.

While my update went smoothly with no breakage on the android side, YMMV.
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
Exactly what I did and did not have any issues.
[TouchPad Development] Moshe5368:
Correction to last post. I had 2.9.1 installed not 2.0.1 as my clumsy fingers typed above. Everything works as before the update.
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
I'm not sure it has anything to do with what we have installed in webos, only because I had nothing installed in webos. It was a virgin 3.0.4 install. No extra apps, no preware, nothing and mine blew it pretty hard on the update.

sidenote: I feel like we should be running a different thread for this. =\

Just to help anyone who hasn't done this update yet some pointers:

do a backup in recovery of XRON. - MOST important.

attempt the update. if it works, great - if not: try a webos doctor of 3.0.5

then: acmeinstaller of moboot and cwmrecovery

Boot into recovery and restore your nandroid backup.

First boot had a few FCs booting up, but after running market updates and a reboot everything settled down and it's back to good :)
[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
as someone who has abandoned webOS and use XRON rom exclusively,

I don't see any reason to update to webOS 3.05 at all. :D I wouldn't

even mind if someone comes up with a rom to completely wipe out the

webOS partition and turn the Touchpad into a single-boot device that

runs on Android only. :)

besides, I'm sure Ice Cream Sandwich for Touchpad is just around the corner. :)

(speaking of ICS, I just saw the CM9 video.... is it just me does everything seem

so sluggish when the Touchpad is running ICS as shown in the video? :( )
[TouchPad Development] detdett:
im curious just how much better ics will be compared tothe current build. will there be a noticeable difference?
[TouchPad Development] rogabean:
while I agree *mostly* - webos has saved my bacon a couple of times when I really messed things up. Always a good idea to keep the device's native OS on it.
