6/27/12: Unofficial nightlies are discontinued: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27955579#post27955579

This is a centralized thread to discuss any issues pertaining to my unofficial nightly cm9 builds. As Dalingrin stated, he doesn't plan to release many more Alphas for now unless there's a major change to test so this will be the best way to get the latest CM9 additions (other than building yourself!).

You should only need to wipe caches coming from a previous cm9 build. Remember, these are not tested builds, simply latest source, so there's a chance of "broken" builds as new features are merged in. Always keep a recent backup and/or be willing to do a full wipe. If you're coming from CM7 you should wipe /data if installing in CWM or use ACMEinstaller2 - see the original CM9 Alpha thread.

These builds are mostly a straight sync from source each night, no other extra modifications have been made (other than fixes to ensure is builds). You can find the latest merges into CM9 here: http://tinyw.in/cm9tpmerged (thanks jcsullins for the custom search). The build is sync'd at approx 4am EST and will be ready to download at approx 4.15am EST.

Downloads

There are multiple ways to get the nightlies:

1) Simply browse and find the latest build directly on our host: http://techerrata.co...angs/tenderloin

2) For live announcement of a new nightly arriving on the server follow our Tenderloin twitter account: https://twitter.com/...!/cm_tenderloin - PLEASE NOTE THIS IS AN AUTOMATED TWEET BOT NOT A LIVE PERSON (i.e. do not tweet @CM_Tenderloin expecting a reply)

3) *NEW* The nightlies also support OTA update notifications using the Goo Manager app, details here: http://tinyw.in/feSQ

Latest gapps are here:http://goo-inside.me/gapps

LCD Density fixes: These were taken from dalingrin's Alpha2 thread and are just updated with a new build.prop.

3/27/12: TouchPad now has official nightlies! See my post here about the future of my builds: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24120253&postcount=219

3/11/12: Due to some merges on 3/9 you may need to reflash gapps when going from a nightly prior to 3/9 to later than 3/9.

2/28/12: HW video decoding (HD youtube and netfix) are now incorporated (still unmerged in mainline CM code). Thanks dalingrin and jcsullins for getting this together. This means the nightlies currently include everything in Alpha2 and whatever else merged since.

Credit and Thanks

Of course major thanks to Dalingrin, jcsullins, fattire, green and the rest of the CM touchpad team for making these builds possible. Thanks to my fellow winners in TeamWin and a special shout out to kevank for hosting and onicrom for build support :)

Nice to see you here eyeballer!
[TouchPad Development] dhoang:
Thanks eyeballer and teamwin for all your hard work on the touchpad.
[TouchPad Development] murso74:
So this is all upstream stuff correct? Won't fix anything from 0.6 as related to hardware? Doesn't include the touchscreen drivers from the rootzwiki thread either?
[TouchPad Development] murso74:
Just trying to figure out what else I'm going to need to flash along with the nightlies
[TouchPad Development] eyeballer:
Just straight CM source, until the updated touchscreen driver is merged you'll need to reflash that after updating the nightly.
[TouchPad Development] samvillian:
i was just about to suggest to close my thread lol, nice to see you here eyeballer!

Tried downloading through the tablet itself and my laptop, all of those zip files are showing a corrupted file.
[TouchPad Development] Nburnes:
Downloaded the newest night 2/17 last night just fine.
[TouchPad Development] eyeballer:
We did have some corruption issues with one of the mirrors but it has been resolved now.
[TouchPad Development] murso74:
It seems like chrome beta will download a corrupt zip, while the stock browser dls fine
[TouchPad Development] eyeballer:
Dees_Troy's touchscreen driver fixes will be included from now, I cherry-picked them into the builds. Also from tonight's build reboot should work thanks to a patch from jcsullins.
[TouchPad Development] derausgewanderte:
hmm, I've done two nightly updates so far without any issues for a couple of days. The latest (0219) causes sods. will keep an eye on it. so far I've had 5 sods whenever screen goes to sleep or I put to sleep.

edit1: ok, after a little more than 5 sods it seems to have settled. guess there were some kernel changes that needed to "work in" first.
[TouchPad Development] EP2008:
I updated to nightlies 0219 and lost my calendar data and calendar sync settings.

I had to reinstall gapps + gapps fix to get it working again.

Is this normal?

Sent from my HP Touchpad running ICS
[TouchPad Development] derausgewanderte:
no, that is not normal. Typically this happens when gaps are mixed and there is a conflict. possible that one of the apps was corrupted? wild guess.
[TouchPad Development] EP2008:
Any idea on how to fix it? I just flashed the second nightly update and had to put gapps and the gapps fix on it afterward.

This is using gapps 4.0.3 v11.

Sent from my HP Touchpad running ICS
[TouchPad Development] Pfredd:
Are you clearing cache and dalvic cache before flashing the nightly? You don't need to clear data/factory reset.
[TouchPad Development] EP2008:
I did with this last update, but still no dice.

Only calendar seems to be affected, all other Google sync services work fine.
[TouchPad Development] derausgewanderte:
unfortunately my experience with the same problem was when I used a wrong gapps. It hosed my calendar and email sync. I was able to recover the email sync, but never the calendar (it wouldn't even sync the google cal, let alone my hotmail cal). No matter what I did with the existing rom, no dice in fixing it using the correct gapps or fixes. I then decided to start from scratch, which really isn't that bad. I wiped data to factory and installed a fresh rom, gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11 and all sync problems vanished. I recovered a few apps with Titanium backup.

Backup valuable apps via titanium backup, reboot into cwm, make a backup of your current rom (just in case you decide to go back), wipe cache, dalvik and wipe data to factory, reboot into cwm and install a fresh nightly rom, then gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11. once back in CM you can recover your apps via titanium backup. Just don't recover any google apps or system apps.

cheers

Usually when tapping the notification area, you see your wifi router name and your battery icon and percent. On the nightly currently out, the percentage is broken as it isn't showing. Only the icon is showing

question regarding the keyboard....

I understand the ICS keyboard for phones has a slightly different layout (backspace is much lower), the 1,2,3 toggle is on the bottom left, etc.

How come the touchpad one has a different layout? Is this the standard ICS keyboard for tablets? I'm just wondering if its supposed to be different for phones and tablets, or if this is just a customized version of the keyboard?

What I mean is:

versus

Some changes make sense, but I'm annoyed by the 1,2,3 toggle being where Tab usually is. I like how the iPad keyboard kept it the same as the iPhone but moved the backspace up to the upper right. Certain changes make sense. Maybe I'm just complaining because I have an iPad also and I want a similar layout :D
[TouchPad Development] ivangs1:
Try to Force stop and clear cache of service "Google Play store" or flash gapps fixer
[TouchPad Development] Celtyc:
New issue?

Ok so I fixed the Play store issue by doing another full wipe and reinstall, now I'm golden that way :)

However... sometimes when she sleeps and I try and wake her up, the touchscreen is non-responsive and I have to hard boot. Anyone else having this issue. Using the 0318 nightly.
[TouchPad Development] paudib:

[TouchPad Development] SUTHRNFRIED:
Is anyone else having an issue when turning bluetooth off the TP will do a soft restart? Maybe it's a known issue and I'm asking something that's already been addressed, but I can't find a topic where this has been discussed. Has done this reboot on all nightlies I have applied. Currently running 3.22.2012 build.

Thanks
[TouchPad Development] ByteWrencher:
If you are referring to turning off a bluetooth headset causing the TP to reboot. I've had that happen several times.

[TouchPad Development] evilmrt:
@dmo580

I really do hate the stock ICS keyboard we're seeing in Touchpad roms. It seriously needs some tweaking, especially on height and key layout, as you are saying. Some devs should weigh in on what the issues are on why this can't be fixed.

I used the free Go Keyboard with the "Pad plugin" from the Market/Play store for a much better keyboard, before buying Swiftkey Tablet X.
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
I for one really like the ICS keyboard, best I've used. Thumb Keyboard is a close second but none of the others are as nice. If the devs 'fix' the keyboard for you they will 'break' it for me :)
[TouchPad Development] muyoso:
I wonder when they finally get around to open sourcing WebOS for good if we will be able to port over the keyboard. That would be sweet.

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

Its not awful, but the numbers button is in an annoying place. Would much rather have a "CAPS" button there and the "?123" down next to the smiley face button.
[TouchPad Development] airtower:
3/23 nightly works well but I can't get apex to reinstall. Market gives an error and tibu acts like it doesn't exist. Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
No need to "port" it with source, just make a new keyboard that replicates it, at least for now lol.

I am Z.
[TouchPad Development] SUTHRNFRIED:
I can turn off what ever devices I have attached and the TP is fine. Only when I toggle BT off either via settings or quick toggle is when it will reboot itself. Until its addressed I'm just leaving it on all the time since I use BT so much.
[TouchPad Development] airtower:
FYI, direct install of the apk from the thread worked
[TouchPad Development] phoenixnr:
Would be nice if there was an android keyboard with the same layout as the touchpad webos one. I love that keyboard.
[TouchPad Development] T-Keith:
Have you guys tried swiftkey? In addition to great predictive words, it has the nicest layout imo. The tablet one has a split keyboard in landscape that puts the letters on the outside and the numbers in the middle. Great for typing and you don't have to switch keyboards to type numbers.

Btw running the latest nightly. Much more stable than aokp. On my tablet I don't need all the added features anyway.

Thanks for the great work.

If you want the numbers row, try Hacker's Keyboard
[TouchPad Development] comhack:
I really love the bootscreen for the latest nightlies on the Touchpad. I was wondering if anyone has a link to a static wallpaper with the full boot logo (the one that shows the CM9 logo with Touchpad across the bottom)??

Thanks

BTW I just noticed that the splash was changed back to the nexus one after install today's nightly. I wonder why they removed it?
[TouchPad Development] CyaN1de:
Using Hackers KB myself and it is the best I have found so far, no need to toggle numbers, has arrow keys for easier typo fixing rather than trying to point at the proper area on the touchscreen.
[TouchPad Development] comhack:
Nevermind, I found them at /system/media/bootanimation.zip
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
In regards to the question, open up a nightly on your computer, and navigate to system/media/bootanimation.zip

Now there are two things to do here: copy that zip to your desktop, and copy it to your TP's memory as well.

To get the image for a wallpaper, open the bootanimation.zip that's on your desktop, and look through the images until you find one you like.

To get the bootanimation back, place the one I told you to put on your TP, and Copy/paste it in /system/media/ and overwrite the original one.(I use ES File explorer for this)

I suspect the animation change was due to a recent merge regarding the bootani.

[TouchPad Development] dwl99:
I have noticed that although screen rotation works fine, I cannot use any games that depend on the accelerometer for steering etc. Is this a known problem with CM9 and is there a fix?
[TouchPad Development] Nburnes:
Edit: :( bad lag
[TouchPad Development] :
I have the same problem. There is a definite lag with the accelerometer that makes it very tricky to use in games. . .
[TouchPad Development] dwl99:
Mine isn't just a lag - it does nothing!
[TouchPad Development] Celtyc:
connect to pc?

Anyone else having issue connecting to a PC after installing the latest round of nightlies? I have no place in the menus for this and my pc does not recognise the drivers the tp is trying to push.

Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] dwl99:
Use Widgetsoid to add a USB mode widget to the home screen.
[TouchPad Development] forrest89sei:
Awesome job on today's build! Super smooth and stable :D
[TouchPad Development] 4GivenByChrist:
So I looked at the merge list and it seems a lot of video related work was pushed into the tree... Any significant effect on the TP there? If so tomorrow's build looks like a lot of change... Just wish I spoke code... :)
[TouchPad Development] menting:
the 2 most recent additions are for the touchpad specifically, and one of them is from dalingrin too, so chances are tomorrow will be a worthy one to update to

if I had to guess, I would guess they merged the Adreno ICS code in and tweaked it.

Did you try it ?

I just installed it over unofficial nightly, and i still have the sound issue....

Still, its a good build, smooth, and 3d performances seems better than before.
[TouchPad Development] eyeballer:
Due to all the merges today we now have a working "official" cm9 repo for the touchpad which is great. Up until now the builds required a few "hacky" changes to make them work. There's a couple of outstanding issues that won't be in the official builds just yet, the main one being the reboot menu - which still needs some hacky stuff (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,12782). Otherwise the builds should be mostly identical from this point forward (my build tonight will include all the merges today obviously).

Official nightlies is a great place to be for any device - fully merged into the mainline repo.

With that said, personally, I'll still be building for myself and (for now) will continue to have the builds posted to our server for anyone that wants them, I may cherry-pick some extra stuff in time to time.

It was a fun ride :)

Official nightly works really good.

Sound didnt fix for me, though. :/ Maybe I have to flash it from a data wipe?
[TouchPad Development] ddominator:
I'm having SODs with official nightly. Will observe still.
[TouchPad Development] mkosem:
Me too. Bumping the min clock up a notch seems to resolve it, but isn't preferable for obvious reasons. I'm also seeing the netd process runaway that I was seeing in alpha 2 and earlier. Reverting to the binary from the last nightly I was running (from 3/21) seems to have taken care of it though.

[TouchPad Development] rg2:
Ditto for me as well; FYI I flashed this over the unofficial ROM w/o issue.

[TouchPad Development] major payne:
What is the dfference between this unoffical and the offical nightly.. I mean technically the nightlies aren't supported anyways. And I know the offical is done by CM and the unoffical is eyeballer
[TouchPad Development] forrest89sei:
Working awesome for me
[TouchPad Development] chicle_11:
I tried the official nightly, but came back to eyeballer's version, which I run with the Kupdate kernel, because it scores in the 6300's in Antuto, while the official scored in the 3000s.
[TouchPad Development] derausgewanderte:
thank you so much eyeballer!!

for those who were able to compare, it would be good to hear whether there is a difference in battery life (there really shouldn't be any-I realize that, but you never know). As for the sods that some experience this is a normal symptom for me whenever I switch roms. It takes 4-5 reboots and system is stable.

thanks again eyeballer!
[TouchPad Development] ddominator:
Hi eyeballer, do you know where to set the DPI in the source code? I want to make a Kang of CM9 but with 120 dpi default.
[TouchPad Development] menting:
it should be in /system/build.prop

Oh yeah! CRT off now works! I keep turning off my screen to see it lol.

[TouchPad Development] ddominator:
I meant in the source code / git. But never mind I found it. It's in device_tenderloin.mk
[TouchPad Development] rg2:
Using the official nightly, I've been having some random reboot issues the past few hours that are quite puzzling. They seem to happen when the screen is turned off or the device is idle; haven't been able to replicate the issue when actively using the device.

FYI, I installed the official nightly directly over the unofficial w/o issue. Don't know if that would play into this (or the screen off - speaker issue which I still have). FWIW, device otherwise runs like a dream.

This is more or less just an info post, as I am hoping any/all issues get rubbed out with forthcoming updates.
[TouchPad Development] isanrap:
Hi whats this kupdate kernel you are talking about. i tried searching but couldnt find any info about it.
[TouchPad Development] MaluNoPeleke:
I have just installed the new march 29 build but it still said Android 4.0.3 instead of the merged 4.0.4 version. Why?

I also couldn't use the alternative ath6kl drivers (2.7) so I had to go back to a previous build. :(

Are there already alternative ath6kl WiFi drivers for the current CM9 builds available?

EDIT: Yes! Could you please add the changes from http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,12341 to your build until they are officially merged?
[TouchPad Development] eyeballer:
Because the build id wasn't updated until 6.25am EST: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,14137

And re: the wifi driver, read dalingrin's comments. It's not quite ready yet.
[TouchPad Development] MaluNoPeleke:
I saw the "fix" of the ID, sorry about that.

James Sullins has submitted the patch set 2 a few hours after your build and version 2.7 from him already fixed WiFi for a lot of people. I wasn't able to use WiFi at all with the current build because I couldn't use his old files with it and the new build wasn't able to connect.

Now I have replaced the driver libraries manually and it works as it should :)
[TouchPad Development] eyeballer:
This is the latest flashable new wifi drivers from jcsullins: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/53916521/cmtouchpad/update-ath6kl-v2.8-for-20120329-signed.zip

The downside of the new wifi is battery life seems to take a hit as sleep isn't working very well, but give it a shot.
[TouchPad Development] MaluNoPeleke:
Thanks for the link but it doesn't work, I always get a 404 error when I try to download it.

Where did you get it from?
[TouchPad Development] MeetFace:
Either he removed, unshared the file, or there were too many downloads and DB removed it.
[TouchPad Development] MaluNoPeleke:
I have just installed your 0330 build but it still says version 4.0.3 which is strange.

Can OTG now be used without a y cable for power supply? I have seen the merge but I am not sure what it means because OTG worked already before but only with an y cable.
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:

[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Agreed, 3/29 is sweet. Came from Alpha 2, wiped cache & dalvik and then flashed rom and Gapps (3/17), everything running smoothly and 4.0.4 seems snappy - nice rom!

Edit - my bad, wrong thread :(
[TouchPad Development] glitchsys:
hmm. Interesting. So that link you posted to a bug about the reboot menu, you said it was one of the major issues in the official nightly builds:

http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,12782

That bug was "abandoned" as not necessary, on March 28th, due to kernel changes. So I can assume this bug has been fixed in the official and/or unofficial nightly builds of CM9 now?

I have a 32gb Touchpad and a 16gb Touchpad and my brother has a 32gb touchpad. So I guess I'll put your unofficial nightly on one of mine and the official nightly, maybe 3/30, on the other. But so far CM9, wifi and all, has been rocking my tablet.

Any comment on any of the various little differences between your unofficial nightly and the official nightly? Instinct for me is to go with the official nightly as you cyanogen and his team and the power of that community, but logic says somebody dedicated to our specific device and somebody who may have more time/energy to make it perfect for our specific device, may be the better route.
[TouchPad Development] zanderman112:
Is there a reason that nightly 30 isn't 4.0.4?

[TouchPad Development] kamandor:
Could someone help me out here?

I used to have CM7 and then CM9 working properly on my TouchPad. Then I tried flashing something (about a month ago), it was either a new version of CM9, or a kernel, etc, and basically my TouchPad now only does boot-loops.

I've tried re-flashing a working version of CM9 (Alpha 2), and it does the same boot-looping.

What the heck can I do to get CM9 working again on my TouchPad? Which version should I download? Really perplexed.

Also, I can't get my (new) (Windows 7) laptop to recognize the Android tablet driver in order for me to flash CM9 through the Command Prompt. I have to use my old laptop (also Windows 7), which detects the tablet just fine. Any ideas?

Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] nolimit06:
You may want to start over fresh using WebOS Doctor, sounds like something is corrupted.
[TouchPad Development] kamandor:
Ok, I'll check that out.

I did manage to get the Android tablet drivers, so I've been able to use my new laptop to try to flash CM9. Still having the same boot-loop issues.

I may try re-flashing CM7.
