Alpha 2 out with working Netflix. YESSSS.
[TouchPad Development] toomuchgame441:
Alpha 2 is out already? These guys are cranking out updates like no tomorrow, I think I'll wait until the end of the week, my current build is running OK.
[TouchPad Development] thedoman:
Yes alpha 2 video fixes are out and working very nicely. To all the developers who are making this possible, Thank you!!!!

Can anyone comment on the battery life vs webos?
[TouchPad Development] Moshe5368:
I find battery life in webOS just a bit better than CN or CM9. I usually get 10-12 hours constant use in webOS vs. 8-10 hours with android. My webOS install is running uberkernel set to 1.6 gHz. android is set to 1.2 gHz. This is just my experience YMMV
[TouchPad Development] Stroid01:
Updated to Alpha 2 everything seems fine and netflix was working great very pleased. Only noticable issue I experienced was speaker was still playing sound externally when i had my headphones plugged in. Anyone else experiencing this or is it just me :)

Thanks

Edit: Rebooted a few times and the problem went away...idk its working properly now.
[TouchPad Development] akalior88:
this is hands down the best build for the TP i have seen yet!

thanks Devs!!!!!
[TouchPad Development] mountaindewmi:
It [Alpha 2] is running great for me too... The only thing I noticed today is that for some reason the battery level was going down while I had the original HP charger connected. It said "Charging" and over a few minutes went from 40% to 36%. I unplugged the charger and turned off WiFi then plugged it back in and it started charging normally again. Working fine since then.

I just updated to alpha 2 but h/w decoding still doesn't seem to work for me on moboplayer and mxplayer... I have a 720p file and couple of lower resolution xvid files but they refuse to be played by hardware. Is this normal? I thought hardware acceleration has been fixed?
[TouchPad Development] thunderskain:
H/W decoding working fine for me here... maybe you should do a wipe first?
[TouchPad Development] HansTWN:
Flashplayer was "kinda" working before Alpha 2, but now web video runs as well as in WebOS. Under Alpha 1 and earlier versions videos were almost unwatchable, skipping passages, audio and video out of sync, etc.
[TouchPad Development] cvcduty:
Yes. Most definitely. Just do the usual wipes before flash. I used this method coming from CM9 A0.6 and so far it's running awesome.

Last version HW Decode working well using DICE Player on my Touchpad :)
[TouchPad Development] rockkilic:
Just tried Dice and it works for HD decoding, however the video's seems blocky. It might be because I'm still on Alpha 1..
[TouchPad Development] Ratix0:
I think you should flash alpha2 because that was one of the fixes mentioned for alpha 2...
[TouchPad Development] cvcduty:
Yes... I flashed over Bricked 0.35 without any issues.

When you reboot, it will try to boot into Bricked, so make sure you choose CM...

Here is a guide I made to fix this issue.

Is anyone else having a problem with the clock or is it just me? When I try to set an alarm it tells me the clock has stopped working.
[TouchPad Development] cvcduty:
I just tried mine and it works fine... no FCs... did you wipe data and caches during setup?

If anything, try clearing data from Settings->App->All->Clock and try again.

So here is what I wrote on a thread in the General Section...

So... for me... with only about a day of using the TP with the latest CM9 V2 release... I am extremely happy with the update.

My wifi... which was sporadic to say the least at my home network, is now quite solid... not a single drop and after an over night standby... I was able to just pickup the tab and use... no reconnection needed... I will have to give it few more days but so far it seems to work fine...

Netflix... It works BEAUTIFULLY for me. I made a point to test it out since this was one of the major fixes and I am happy that it really is working.

I watched a Top Gear episode last night and I had no issues. Can't say if I was watching it in the higher resolutions but the video quality was awesome. No drops or pauses... it just works now...

All my market apps loaded without issues and even though I have not tested everything, I am real happy.

Oh and the battery life... AWESOME!!! On A.6, I was getting on average 24 hours before recharge was needed. That was with maybe about 1 hour of screen time and the rest idle.

On the new release, I am going on 19 hours and 50 mins with about 2 hours screen time (1 hour of Netflix included) and 63% still remaining... WOW!!!

And the last thing... so far, I have not had any SODs... none!!! which is kind of weird for me now since I was starting to get used to having to reset the TP every once a while... ^_^

In conclusion... THIS RELEASE IS AWESOME!!!
[TouchPad Development] Celtyc:
Diceplayer looks amazing I must agree! Not sure if this is by design or not so I thought I might ask at the cost of being laughed at :)

No matter what screen I put the calendar on, if I press home it takes me to the calendar. If I press home again it takes me home (Using Go Launcher). Out of lock and sleep it defaults to the calendar widget as well.

Is this supposed to happen this way?

Thanks for your time!
[TouchPad Development] ajholt7:
Thanks, that fixed it. I did wipe everything first. Maybe it had something to do with my restore from titanium backup.
[TouchPad Development] jonen:
Just tried flashing A2 over A0.6 from CWM and am getting some sort of endless boot loop...

looking into fixes now but just thought i'd throw it out there...

i wiped data/cache/davlik before flashing :/
[TouchPad Development] cvcduty:
That is what I did too. Did you have any other kernel loaded? If nothing else helps, I would 're flash or do a push from PC via acmeinstall... good luck.
[TouchPad Development] jonen:
I did not. :/

Just tried reflashing with acmeinstall2 but im still getting an endless loop....

now im actually confused.

Any suggestions?? i may just look into wiping everything and starting fresh..

edit: ran acmeUNinstaller then acmeinstaller2. not sure what the problem was... but i think im good now :)
[TouchPad Development] hshah:

Tried to download Flash player on Alpha 1 and in the market it says "Your device isnt compatible with this item".
[TouchPad Development] jonen:
Are we supposed to reflash the reboot and charging fix from a0.6??
[TouchPad Development] BoulderGeek:
I just performed the AcmeInstaller2 method to go from XRON-ified CM7 to CM9A2.

Worked perfectly. Zero FCs, everything that I have tested works well. The Touchpad now seems as fast as my Galaxy Tab 10.1, where it had been comparitively sluggish on WebOS and CM7.

HD video out of YouTube works. Haven't tried other media players. Our tablets are more readers, web access station and messaging platforms. For all of those, this build is working fine on the Touchpad.

Also, upon first Market test after Alpha 2, Flash updated in the Market with no messages or problems. Perhaps use the AcmeInstaller 2 method to go to Alpha 2? It didn't require a wipe, therefore I lost no data or settings.

Many thanks to the Cyanogen team! Monetary contribution forthcoming.
[TouchPad Development] sean is here.:
Doubtful. Those things would've probably been cooked into the ROM.
[TouchPad Development] scariola:
To all upgrading to alpha 2, if you want your apps and data, wipe cache, and dalvich cache then install Rom in CWM.

Acmeinstaller2 is used just to get CM9 on your touchpad, once you use that all updating should be done as described above.
[TouchPad Development] cyanide01:
So Dalingrin's preferred method is using the new acmeinstaller instead of CWM, and would you have to webdr back to factory (no Android installed) then run the installer?
[TouchPad Development] VGSmatt:
OMG OMG OMG! ICS on a TP!!! So happy right now!
[TouchPad Development] magnethart:
No need to run webdr. Just run Acmeinstaller through novacom the same way you originally installed with CM7.
[TouchPad Development] treehumper:
Also, be careful with wifi. I cannot connect to wifi upon restart unless I forget the network prior to restarting.
[TouchPad Development] cyanide01:
Cool thanks :-)
[TouchPad Development] cyanide01:
Good to know thanks! :-)
[TouchPad Development] sprice5:
I have yet to have any wifi problems. To tell you the truth I think I get better connections on this.
[TouchPad Development] TheSobadef:
For a first Alpha, this is AMAZING. Everything works great! (other than noted issues!)
[TouchPad Development] sdemmitt79:
seriously! not to mention I was able to keep all my old apps and settings

I honestly don't understand the logic with Xron building from a different source

the cm team and dalingrin laid the groundwork, now help build on it

that's what open source is all about

but hey to each his own, I'm sure they will do a good job with their build as well

Is there a way to modify the cyanogenmod kernal loading image? Or change it to landscape? I would like all the boot screens in landscape....
[TouchPad Development] thedoman:
Can't speak to the kernal image but there are a few boot animations in landscape posted under development on rootwiki which can be downloaded and flashed. I am using this one:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/16336-re...s-the-whole-screen-and-doesnt-look-like-crap/

Here is the download link for flashable zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?3keqan2nkxtt5yg

Its the same as the stock cm9 only in higher def and landscape (looks much better). There are a few others which look nice as well but I can't say much about them as I have not used them (yet).
[TouchPad Development] cvcduty:
For some reason I can't get to the link you posted on RootzWiki... anyway, it sounds like the same thing I am using. CM9 bootanimation in landscape and in higher res. As for HP logo and CM team logo in portrait... not sure what can be done there.

If you find a bootanimation.zip do not flash this. Simply replace the file in system/media and set the right permissions rw_r__r__. Reboot and enjoy.

Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] theinmoe:
Since rootzwiki is down, please post direct download link for alpha 2. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] cvcduty:
That's weird. Android keyboard should be installed. Have you checked your settings to make sure that keyboards are installed but maybe not activated? Have you also installed Gapps? If nothing works, I guess reflash is needed. Or maybe you can locate a keyboard app to install. I use flexT9 since Swype is not available for me.
[TouchPad Development] Pfredd:

After you plugin your USB cable and the charging logo was shown, press the power button and the home button together for 10-20 seconds. It will restart again, wait until you see the boot menu and boot into webos, seems it can only be charge in webos when the battery was completely flat.

It looks like some videos work for HW decoding and others don't. Am I the only one with this or is it simply because I'm using MX video player? I experience no problem with HW decoding when playing in dice on the other hand.
[TouchPad Development] Nizda1:
The answer to your question seems to vary by who you ask, so I've heard people say it works always or only with some movie etc.. Best solution is at least for now just use dice player for videos that don't want to use hw decoding as I am yet to find a video that dice won't hw decode with.
[TouchPad Development] stangri:
I play my video-files off LAN, so my experience is limited to BSPlayer, but it is either able to play the whole video in HW mode or occasionally it switches to SW mode half-way thru (I'm guessing because of the connectivity issues more than anything else).

Coming from CM7 do I install CM9 A2 just like i did on CM7.

I read that we are supposed to use ACMEUninstaller?

Or does this ACMEInstaller 2 just wipe everything as it installs?

Also in the CMInstall folder do I just need gapps and CM9 because I have CWM and Moboot already?
[TouchPad Development] Stroid01:
You can do it two ways..

1. Put update zip on root of sdcard...wipe dalvick,cache, system...flash rom and gapps using CWM.

2. Prefered method according to CM9 team is place update file and gapps in cminstall folder and flash through acmeinstaller.

I personally used method 2 as I prefer a clean install using the suggested method. Although i do subsequent updates using cwm.
[TouchPad Development] Paso876:
I just used acmeinstaller2 & did the same process like installing cm7....& didnt bother with acme uninstaller. Its fine to put just cm9 & gapps in the folder, just make sure its the latest gapps, v11 i think
[TouchPad Development] cvcduty:
Well, I am not quite sure what is the method the devs recommend for this latest release.

I was ready to use the acmeinstaller but chose to flash the rom and the gapps v11 via CWM instead. So far 0 problems. Of course, I did the mandatory data, cache and Dalvik wipes and so far my TP is running awesome! Way better than the A.6 I had. I skipped the A1 since A2 was so quick to come out.

Anyway, I don't think it's that critical now which method you use. Either one seems to work just the same. That's my 2 cents...
[TouchPad Development] jonen:
Is anyone else experiencing their touchpad just shutting down when you try to reboot?

wondering if im supposed to flash a fix or anything
[TouchPad Development] sean is here.:
I think it has been noted. You can use the other shutdown method (I don't remember which caused it, but there are 2 or more methods) i.e. if it happens with a long press of the power button, use the notification power widget or vice versa.
[TouchPad Development] cvcduty:
Yup... Reboot=shutdown... ^_^

I get this too but instead the video duration thing skips to the end and I can't watch the video unless I click on the expand/full screen button. Then it loads n plays.

This is when using Browser + and mobile view.

If I go to desktop view, I have to click on 'dl' icon aka down looking icon to play the video. That means that my flash is working properly.

Inserting my problem in here now...

I previously had CM7 running on my Touchpad.

I wiped everything, caches, the files, the lot, and made sure I was on a minimum version of CynanogenMod

I installed the first released CM9, which had a lot less troubles starting up, but it kept crashing so I figured I'd wait a bit longer. I'm well aware of the difficulties in getting these releases out.

I later wiped again and installed the Alpha2 release - this seemed much better. Everything was fast and slick, updated gapps as I should.

There's just one problem: No power.

If I reboot back to WebOS then the TP charges properly. As long as I'm in CM the battery will not charge. I tried turning on the USB mass storage option, but I didn't have a driver it asked for, then the TP shut itself off again - I'm now back to charging it in WebOS so I can have another try later.

I apologise if someone has already mentioned this and/or a fix. I did read through dozens and dozens of pages, as I always do - but I might have just missed it. Sometimes I wish forums had an added knowledgebase added to them so quick notes on 'Problem: Battery won't charge under CM9' 'Solution: do this you plum' could be visible. I'd use OneNote - but I know that there is an intense dislike of certain MS products flying about. Still, I could create one on my public-facing Skydrive if you want.
