The A3 zip is bunk, i've downloaded it 3 times (says 89 megs on the site), but when I download it turns to 94 megs and won't flash, says "can't open, (bad) zip".

Seems like the zip file on the site is broken.
[TouchPad Development] Nburnes:
Worked fine when I downloaded it earlier today. That is the one I uploaded right above you. I would be willing to bet the servers are getting murdered.

Wifi keeps crashing with the update.

[TouchPad Development] nomadman:
according to the previous link here are the changes

The fixes in ALPHA3

* Last prominent form of "sleep of death" fixed

* Webkit backing store(smoother scrolling)

* Bluetooth DPad/arrows do not rotate with screen

* Battery stats now available to Android

* Serial# now populated

* Shorter hostname as a result of serial#

* General wifi fixes

* Preliminary Touchpad 4G support(no radio)

* Possible fix for A2DP and wifi interference

* Possible fix for SD card not mounting

* Camera FPS improved but still nearly nonfunctional

i really hope the wifi issue is some what resolved. testing it now and setting my router back to normal. disabled/re-enable wifi, changed AP from backup to primary, and back. so far so good. but still in early testing.

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

oh, fyi: i wiped cache, delvic cache, and battery before booting into A3.
[TouchPad Development] Nburnes:
Don't wipe batt stats unless your device was acting strange and dying quickly. You should only do it when it is fully dead and then recharged fully again.
[TouchPad Development] nomadman:
Thanks for the tip. Never had any probs in the past after flashing custom roms. I agree it's useless wiping batt stats every other day.
[TouchPad Development] pside15:
What's the general consensus for the new release? I'm still on the original alpha because the wifi works perfectly and I don't won't to risk screwing it up. I do have some SODs but it's not worth losing the wifi trying to fix it.
[TouchPad Development] spf2722:
For me the new alpha 3 is great, I never have had any wifi issues, so I guess I am lucky there(some have). Alpha3 is also much smoother feeling as well. Browser is 100% better as well. With battery stats, the best way to callibrate is to fully charge, then let it get down to about 15%, fully charge again, then wipe battery stats.
[TouchPad Development] islubio:
I m having wifi issues if i disable wifi after getting connected once i have to reboot or wifi wont connect. I think there's a fix at rootwiz. something about wiping wifi data or something will try it when i have time
[TouchPad Development] asaberan:
I had WPA security on my router and I couldn't keep a wifi connection, so I changed the security to WEP (yes, I know, but I don't have close neighbors) and it has only dropped wifi once in about a month.

No SOD issues for me, so I'm hesitant to try this, but I can't consciously not flash it now that it is available.
[TouchPad Development] digital_pro:
Took me several tries, but it eventually downloaded. Installed painlessly and seems to be even quicker than 2.1. Wireless working better so far also. Kudos!
[TouchPad Development] Scoop24:
Does this fix the music sounding funny when the screen is off?
[TouchPad Development] cubbieswin:
It installed fine for me. Only quirk I've noticed is that the Amazon icon in the notification bar after downloading an ap in the amazon market is blurry. Can anyone else confirm this?
[TouchPad Development] ArtificialMusik:
Nope. ;(

I was really hoping this release would but I guess not. ICS here we come though. :)
[TouchPad Development] ffolkes:
Anyone else getting a weird effect going on with the screen on/off transitions? It's like slow-motion for me...but once the UI comes up, everything is fine.
[TouchPad Development] Divine_Madcat:
The 2d and 3d performance increase is vastly underrated in the change log. While the system could still be slightly faster, the performance is now leaps and bounds better..
[TouchPad Development] asaberan:
Installed fine for me. Only difference I've noticed is no "El Telco Loco" nonsense anymore.
[TouchPad Development] baloo247:
I have an issue where the sound just completely disappears. I have to reboot to get it back. is this a known issue?

Otherwise this is pretty damn sweet. I held off on alpha 1 and 2, but decided to take the plunge and am very happy with this. as a stop gap to get access to a few apps e.g. viber, that I really need then im happy.
[TouchPad Development] Lolento:
None of the 3d games are working for me on Alpha 3.

Specifically, Shadowgun all device version has messed up graphics.

9mm Tegra version with Chainfire 3D also has messed up graphics.
[TouchPad Development] TrueYears:
WIFI problems are gone now

thank you CM
[TouchPad Development] nomadman:
yups, A3 is a downer if you play HD games.
[TouchPad Development] 4.3:

Delete please
[TouchPad Development] TrueYears:
well, I thought the WIFI problem was gone but now it internet last for like 20 minutes until it occurs again
[TouchPad Development] axiapc:
Easy 2.1 to 3 upgrade.. so far so good
[TouchPad Development] Matthileo:
Seems a3 broke the vibration and haptic feedback stuff again

[sent from my touchpad]
[TouchPad Development] dijonemon:
Wifi seems much better, eg; Tweetdeck kept updating all night, which is a first! Battery life seems a bit worse, but that's probably because the wifi kept going.

HD games definitely had a performance drop.
[TouchPad Development] biggboii:
Deleted my Gapps. Tried restoring...nothing works. Back to 2.1 and stability.

* Edit ...think maybe the issue is that 2.1 didn't have Gapps pre-installed? and so they didn't copy over for me. Maybe some of the apps got upgraded. Can someone make a zip of their Gapps and post a link?
[TouchPad Development] Jotokun:
Interesting that most of you find issues with games, since it fixed all but one of the issues in Riptide GP.

So far seems pretty solid of an update to me.

bugs set cpu

dont boost the cpu at any cost , i just installed set cpu with no adjustments in the cpu settings ,my wifi began stuttering and went off ,i uninstalled it with root uninstaller and now vow my wifi is back and booming ,otherwise everything is smooth, no bsod, you tube flash hd videos are great with no stuttering,no force closures,much quicker during browsing the internet,quicker going through the file system,sound is great,till now no crashes.

this is how i installed it went through web os and placed the zip file on the storage and booted into recovery and wiped my system,data,cache,cache partition,installed the zip file and then fixed the permissions.will let you know if i see any bugs.
[TouchPad Development] nomadman:
wierd... ive had mine set at 1782MHz/384MHz/ondemand since day one. wifi still hasn't dc'd since Alpha 3 was installed. had all kinds of problems with wifi on the previous Alpha. just goes to show ya, ymmv when overclocking.
[TouchPad Development] biggboii:
I may be the only idiot to have experienced it but... if anyone else had problems with GAPPS being missing.. I went to the 2.1 forum, downloaded GAPPS from there, flashed and everything's working perfectly.
[TouchPad Development] wondercoolguy:
anyone experience not being able to download anything because there is no space?
[TouchPad Development] hydrogenman:
2.1's working just fine for me, no lock up's and no wifi drops for the most part

if it ain't broke, don't fix it
[TouchPad Development] chrischoi:
Mine crashed hardcore. Wifi kept FC'ing. Everytime I turned it on, it would crash. I think it had something to do with connecting to an Airport.

Maybe your sdcard is mounted as readonly.

Have you tried this fix [HOWTO][CM7 ALPHA2.1] FIX - sdcard storage mounts as readonly?
[TouchPad Development] TKG26:
I do not have android on my touch pad right now. Can i install Alpha 3 as is? Or do i first have to flash Alpha 2?

EDIT: Im very impatient.... Im at the cyanogen boot screen :) It hung up during the double penguins and i got nervos..

Sweet dual boot android for me, web os for the misses
[TouchPad Development] hitec7:
@ TKG26 you can install as is!

I just have to thank Cyanogenmod for their alpha3 release works like a champ!

GG and Thanks ALOT!
[TouchPad Development] FynxSyndct:
Same here. 2.1 is very stable on mine. A few weird points, but altogether well-done.
[TouchPad Development] TKG26:
WOW alpha3 works great... i seen official roms before that did not work as well.. just had a few wifi drops that could be 100% on my end of things.. as it drops in my house from time to time..

Wish i had htc sense ui no lol
[TouchPad Development] vWvSTATICvWv:
Ok I just noticed this today & I'm embarrassed. I've been running CM7 for over a week now & after reading about the update, I went to go into recovery & can't. So I went to Rom manager & tried to install CWM & it asks for your device in the list but TP is not there. Can someone help me out :o
[TouchPad Development] Luda305:
When it asks for device choose Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 that's wut I did n it worked fine.
[TouchPad Development] Nburnes:
Have you tried to reinstall CWM through ACMEInstaller

Why would you do this...
[TouchPad Development] kareeem:
I heard headphones don't work, is this true?
[TouchPad Development] vWvSTATICvWv:
*EDIT* Sorry guys, I'm so used to using recoveries on phones and using the power button to make a selection. Didn't realize it was the home button on TP. Sorry and thanks for the help.
[TouchPad Development] peekeesh:
Mine works and im on alpha 3.
[TouchPad Development] jameshugh:
My audio out jack doesn't seem to work either. I just ran the update without wiping to be lazy and preserve data so I may try wiping first to see if it corrects it...
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Try booting in to webOS first then reboot in to cm. This fixed my headphone issue. Btw using the latest cm7 alpha 3. But my version.
[TouchPad Development] nikec:
Having constant reboots immediately when the screen turns off, tried reflashing but the same issue remains. Any solution exept from wiping?
[TouchPad Development] jbird1955:
Also using the "leo" version.

As his name says, Leo is right (great rom!).
[TouchPad Development] erick161:
Personally have barely had any noticeable issues with all these Alpha builds...hell, runs good...really good. I have noticed, however, that WiFi seems more problematic in A3. In A2.1 is worked flawlessly for me. Since upgrading to A3, i've been getting intermittent WiFi issues. It shows me as connected, yet isnt providing WiFi connection. I of course tried forgetting the network, but that doesnt work. So far only a reboot (multiple times) has helped. Anyone have a quicker solution perhaps?
[TouchPad Development] dnichols4:
Simply turning off wifi then re-enabling seems to work for me.
[TouchPad Development] tackleberry:
Lots of force closes for me

Wifi is constant but does drop off and come.back quick.

Adw ex works like crap but preinstalled adw works fine. Weird I know.

maps does not work for me

Xda app constantly fc and keeps logging me out. Funnier tho tapatalk pro works just fine on another forum!

Facebook app does not work

Having random reboots.
[TouchPad Development] zim2dive:
Any suggestions on battery life? I'm not fussing, just new to having CM7 on the Touchpad and looking for any accumulated knowledge.

According to the settings, I already have wifi turning off when the display is off..... I have a Sensation (8260 chipset), and can get that to regularly go 48+ hours ... but I feel like I should be able to do better on my Touchpad .. it was pretty drained after 48 hours on CM and my usage wasn't heavy at all. I know we have a much bigger display :) but we also have a 6000mAh battery vs. the ~1500mAh batt in my Sensation. I am using the Touchpad ~12 ft from my wireless router.

or is battery not yet a focus of the alpha? (and there's nothing wrong if thats the case.. I do understand that alpha means alpha)

I have to say, I see nothing so far that keeps me from running CM7 full-time, just trying to improve my ability to have the Touchpad as a casual browsing device laying around the house, staying un-tethered for as long as possible.

thanks!
[TouchPad Development] krispy521:
I had to go back to 2.1 since my games are so laggy and Smurf's Village is unplayable.
[TouchPad Development] sagaff:
I am aware this ROM is still in alpha. The issues I face are:

- Can't access wifi, it keeps on scanning, connecting then disconnected.

- Can't shutdown using the power button.

Anyone facing similar issues and any patch or method to solve them.

Thanks in advance
[TouchPad Development] liehuo:
Anybody experiencing random browser crash? You guys got know how to solve it? I tried fixing permission in CWM but problem still persist. Thanks in advance!
[TouchPad Development] zim2dive:
to the folks with problems... it might help if you clarify how you got to alpha3.. ie. fresh/1st CM7 install, upgrade from earlier.. did you install anything after, etc...... I frankly don't know if one should wipe along the way, etc... I guess I won't need to answer that question until alpha4 :)

personally, all seems to work very well for me.. alpha3 was my 1st CM7 install.. but maybe I was just lucky, and I haven't installed much yet.
[TouchPad Development] kitsunisan:
Yes, when else fails, wipe. If you still have an issue, it might make it much easier to figure it out.
[TouchPad Development] thekillingtree:
I think ill need to do a clean wipe. I upgraded from alpha2 (which was a fresh install) and now my wifi d/C's when it didn't before, dolphin HD force closes, I get a unresponsive screen occasionally after waking it up (which I didn't before), and sometimes I get stuck in a bootloop. Oh well, n00blyfe I guess, lol. Still, minor problems for a nice tablet.
[TouchPad Development] greenzellybean:
I had A3 for few days now and has been working well.....no issuess except my lockscreen doesntwork.

I did acomplete new flash....I had A2 then flashed with XRON ....removed everything and loaded A3.
[TouchPad Development] liehuo:
Hi. The lockscreen had been disabled by default. Enable it by going to settings- cyanogenmod settings-lock screen.
[TouchPad Development] godd:
Finally I managed to install CM7 A3 on my 16g Touchpad. I understand it is still Alpha and please, do not consider this as a complain but simply as an info that can help in the future development:

1. Sometimes touchscreen stops working - can press buttons, accelerometer works, but touches are not registered.

2. I installed CifsManager and to my surprise, it can mount my NAS shares, but device keeps rebooting in a minute or so after I try to navigate through shares in file managers - I tried several.

3. Using BT headset with MortPlayer causes reboots after a while. To fix it I had to turn BT off on TP.

Also, does it make a difference if I installed CM not on factory WebOS but on TP that was overclocked and had updated kernel from SysInternalz and some scripts installed? During CM installation I saw some errors in a log and the install process gets stuck in one place for a 5min.

Otherwise, I'm VERY happy to have fully functional 10'' tablet.
[TouchPad Development] scariola:
Everyone having problems with upgrading to v3, this is usually because of the ACME Installer. SD card damage, wifi problems, or other issues are not present in this rom.

Once you are on alpha 2, use CWM to update to alpha 3.

Just download the CWM alpha 3.zip

WIPE CACHE

WIPE DALVIK CACHE(under advanced)

INSTALL APLHA 3.ZIP THROUGH CWM

REBOOT

I wanna thank the CM team who has been working to bring it to Touchpad. I installed CM7 on my 32gb Touchpad and I absolutely love it. I hadn't used my tp in the past 2 months as much as I did in the first 2 days of installing CM7 Alpha3.

No complaints here just reporting a few bugs for the developers and others so CM& A3 can be improved.

* lockscreen doesnt work.

* Touchpad reboots upon manually shutting it down.

* youtube app doesnt work.

Again thanks.

I am not complaining...i use youtube for kids rhymes only....and they prefer landscape....not a biggie.

USB Storage Unmounted problem

I can not view my gallery or even set a wallpaper because I keep getting a message about USB storage unmounted. I've tried wiping and reinstalling but keep getting the same message. Any help would be great!
[TouchPad Development] Adonis K.:
have you tried mounting the sdcard?
[TouchPad Development] cdsbj6508:
I've tried to mount it under the storage option under settings but the sd card mount is not highlighted so I can not select it. Is there another way like maybe through CWR?

HP touchdroid does not power off

Hello guys,

I did install the Alpha 3 Cyanogenmod 7 os in my hp touchpad (fresh install) and this was the very first time I installed Android in my touchpad so I'm not coming from previous android os versions. Everything seems to be working fine, of course there are minor issues like the youtube app that doesn't play video on portrait mode but is not a biggie. What it really concerns me is that I can't power off the device, every time I try to power it off it just goes off for a few seconds and then reboots into Android. I have read this entire thread looking for an answer but I couldn't find one. I read that someone here has the same issue and he posted it here but it was no solution to the problem. Please if someone knows how to fix this issue, I would appreciate your help, thanks a lot in advance for your replies...:confused:

[TouchPad Development] Paso876:
For some reason I can't get YouTube to work on here, same thing happened when I was on xron. Is this normal? Also I'm getting a lot of force close and I'm not even using any launchers. Any suggestions?
[TouchPad Development] nickmv:
This is a common problem for some. It's very random for others though, such as me. Every once in a while it does that.

However, the workaround for this is easy. When the TP 'shuts down', the reboot that you're describing simply throws you back into moboot.

If you notice, moboot has an option to shutdown. So, when this happens, simply select shutdown, and the device should be powered off. I know this sounds like a bit of a pain, but at this time, I know of no fix, and it's a very small price to pay for having Android on this thing.
[TouchPad Development] 808souljah:
anyone having problems with the music player? I have noticed lately that on the stock music player, and pandora when you turn the screen off, or if it goes off by itself then the music get super scratchy, and static-y.... and also I have been having issues with the music player where the song playing will stop for a second or 2, and then go back to normal.... and do it over again... problem is very intermittent
[TouchPad Development] jbrinkley:
yup same here. when the screen goes of all sound is scratchy. notifications... everything.

I've had all the versions on the tp since the first alpha. Only on the most recent flash have I noticed this sound thing, but it's been a while so I could be wrong.

I like the version before 3.5 the best. I came around this morning looking for something better since I read that the android kernel for tp was released. see here

http://www.androidcentral.com/hp-touchpad-android-kernel-now-hands-cyanogenmod-team

so I assume very soon there will be lots of updates to what's out there right now.

I hope at least.

** if someone could give me a clue on the keyboard, mine doesn't have the microphone. I cant talk to this thing. I thought it was because of mic issues in early builds? but if it works now, where can I find it?
[TouchPad Development] Divine_Madcat:
Uh.. you do know about the ICS release, correct? Gingerbread is (very rightfully) abandoned, and all work is going on ICS now. There is 0 reason to keep using these old builds...
[TouchPad Development] jbrinkley:
yes i realize. just responding to the guy above me.

the kernel release helps every build, and when 9 is good I'll flash.

there are plenty of good reasons to stay with what works at the moment. To say that gb is abandoned is just silly man.
[TouchPad Development] Divine_Madcat:
Gb **IS** abandoned. Dal and co have already said that 3.5 is the last build, and for good reason.. Ics is made for devices like ours, and better suited for larger screens. As it is, ICS is already better that GB.. The only thing it isn't doing is yetflix and YouTube hd.. Both will be fixed soon enough. In the meantime, you are missing out on a muchhh better experience...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blackstar84:
I did read on another forum that why some screens appear to be defective, is not because of the hardware, but because of poorly calibrated software which give banding artifacts. It can be solved...if you root and calibrate your own..

Also... the Banding problem seem to be non existent on ICS for super amoled screens.

I am not sure if this person is right or not, please investigate, but it seem very interesting...and maybe explain why so many screens appear to be defective...maybe Samsung can release a patch for it.. to fix this problem..
