I'm interested in this rom. I'd contribute also for it.

Please include a file manager for us folks that can' t get wifi to connect. It comes in handy to install apps Thanks

[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
As I said in the OP, the emphasis is on lite that allows your favorite apps and customizations, not mine. In that vein, if bricked-kernal can be used on CM9, than it should be applicable to this ROM.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Wow! No wifi at all, ever? Have you tried adb'ing files from your computer into your tablet? Guess I could include a file explorer as an app that could be uninstalled, but this seems a rather extreme situation. Any others facing this dilemma?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
All: At this point I feel I have a good number of testers so I am closing the open call for volunteer testing.

Testers: For those who got a PM from me with the download links, please download the files as soon as possible as I will be removing the files from the server later today. Finally, my sincerest thanks to all my volunteers and a gentle reminder to please provide some feedback when you are able.
[TouchPad Development] soljafree:
Awesome rom bro it runs really good to :thumbup:
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Hey oat. First, hope to see you publish this to everyone, second, if you are compiling from source you can fork the file explorer from me/US if you want. It has such a small footprint on the Rom and would help those who need it.

Questions let me know. Thanks and BTW, if you need anything we certainly will help with what ever.

Good luck.

Beta Test

Still beta testing O.A.T.?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Thanks for the encouraging words and thanks for the offer. I do build from source and early on included a file manager. I haven't lately as the taste for file managers among myself, friends and family changes routinely. I would only need to update that file and reactivate a few lines in the build script to get it back in.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Yes, in the sense of waiting for feedback from the testers.

I'd absolutely love a ROM like this. I've been wanting something light and speedy.

rom

so, i installed this rom this morning, came from [RC1.2] CM9 with Cornerstone, wiped cache and davlik, didn't wipe data or anything, everything carried over perfectly, and so far so good, youtube works hd also, the games i play work perfectly, been running smooth all day.

only hic-upsi had was videos on youtube site didn't load in chrome browser, and my wifi froze for literally 5 seconds. either than that, i've had no problems.

i'll report on how battery life is tomorrow, and which if any apps give me trouble, cause i like using a new rom all day, and see how battery life compares to a fresh recharge

It's not on the bar, it's at the upper right hand corner of the screen.

[TouchPad Development] tlazarus:
Anyone having issues with the touchscreen not responding after waking the device up? I BELIEVE it only happens when the battery is low, i.e. below 30 percent or so. Its not a SoD, as the device wakes up fine but won't respond to any screen presses. I have to forcefully reboot it using the power button/front button combination. After charging it for a while, the problem seems to go away. I've also tried keeping the minimum cpu clock at 400+ using setcpu, but that didn't help. Other people have complained of a similar issue, so its not necessarily this rom, but in the past I would just hit the power button to turn the screen off and then back on again, at which point it would be responsive. This isn't helping this time.

See: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19337-touchscreen-wake-up-issues/

And (CM7) : http://code.google.com/p/cmtouchpad/issues/detail?id=94

On a more positive note, wifi has been ROCK SOLID on this rom. First time ever. The new drivers are incredible.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I loaded this over xronified. I did a full wipe and then flashed the zip. In the boot menu, cyanogenmod shows up and when I select it, it just restarts into the boot menu again.
[TouchPad Development] x000x:
hello guys, i'm new here and pretty much a noob.

my only experience is installing cm7 a few months back, but i came across this topic and decided to try it out.

unfortunately i can't seem to get it to work. hope someone can lend me a hand :)

basically what i did was put moboot 3.5, oat's rom, and cwm all in the same folder on my touchpad. i ran acmeinstaller2 and it seemed to install.

but after the install i noticed that oat's rom was not installed, just moboot and cwm. so i looked for the rom (i think it was in sd card or something) and ran it from there.

afterward, i got to a boot screen, or at least the cyanogenmod logo... but it hung on that.

obviously i did something wrong lol.

my question is do i also need cm9 alpha 2 in the same folder as moboot, cwm, toast's rom? i mean, is toasty rom dependent on cm9 or something? or is oat's entirely standalone? (this is probably the wrong terminology but i don't know how else to explain it)

also what about gapps? seems like different android builds use their own gapps or something? which version should i use with toast's?

these are probably really simplistic problems, but any help someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. i tried looking on my own for answers but i think all i did was end up getting more confused lol
[TouchPad Development] supercarrera:
All Right! Got it to work by running the moboot cleaner I found on classicnerd.net and then flashing with cwm recovery. So far, so good.
[TouchPad Development] lzhikai1994:
flash the zip again had the same problem
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Here is what I suggest. Run acmeuninstall to clean out your android partitions. Then just run acmeinstaller2 with moboot 3.5 and cwm. Create a nandroid. With cwm install light n tasty rom ( it is standalone ) and my gapps. It is missing some stuff but see if you notice lol! Otherwise, if you want the full gapps it is probably best to stay with the latest found at goo inside me. Light n tasty probably did not install because acmeinstaller is, I believe, looking for files beginning with the word "update". This should get you a nice fresh start for ice cream sandwhich.

Hello, before i can play whit some gameloft games but after flash this rom say are not compatible, there is any way to can fix this?

Thank in advance

Btw, very nice and smooth rom, i love it.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Try changing the following in system/build.prop using a rooted file manager like es file explorer.

ro.product.model=SGH-T989

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=SGH-T989

ro.product.device=SGH-T989
[TouchPad Development] x000x:
well somehow i finally got it working. but it was kind of difficult for me lol. at first i did what i normally did to install cyanogenmod. i ran acmeuninstaller and then put moboot, cwm and your rom in the cminstall folder. i ran acmeinstall2, but i noticed when the script was going down the screen i saw a lot of syntax errors. unfortunately it was too fast to read what i was saying.

so i ended up formatting stuff and wiping my dalvik cache thing. i tried my method above again, and still got syntax errors and hung at the same spot again etc.

finally i rebooted into cwm and selected your rom from the sd card thing. i ran it once and it installed fine from there. then i ran it again just to make sure :P then i rebooted and (probably by sheer luck) it worked!

i'm pretty new to all this so i'm really not sure what i could do to get it installing more smoothly in the future :(
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
That is basically what I suggested. Just install moboot and cwm with acme installer, then install the rom and gapps via cwm. A nandroid before the rom/gapps install would have given you a nice safety net for trying other roms that mess with the boot partition.
[TouchPad Development] x000x:
hehe i guess your suggestion worked then :)

i wasnt sure if those syntax errors were normal or i had done something wrong
[TouchPad Development] kamiwey:
Thanks mate, working good again :)
[TouchPad Development] rootnik:
I just installed and am going to run this for a while. Everything is smooth and fast, without the over clock.

I'm curious though, why Go Launcher?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
It's very light , at this point, and I liked their size, capabilities, and their update schedule on their go launcher ex.
[TouchPad Development] x000x:
hi O.A.T i wanted to report back. after i finally got it installed it is really nice :D

i'm not a big fan of the go launcher thing though. maybe i dont have enough apps for it to be useful or quite understand how to use it. (for me it just sits there doing nothing lol)

i was wondering if you could tell me how to uninstall the go... widget? not sure if it is an app or widget or if app and widget are the same thing. this is probably a very simple thing to do, but as you can see there is bit of a learning curve for me with all of this :P

thanks for all your help so far
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Not sure how to proceed on this one lol! Launchers mostly do just "sit there", until you place your widgets, links, or adjust your wallpapers with them. Then they serve as a launch pad for your favotite apps, web pages or a home for widgets which could be characterized as active links. I particularly like go launcher HD because of the nice UI for setting up your interest based pages, e.g. games, social networking, media, etc. I'd suggest experimenting with go launcher as it will give you the general sense of a launcher's capabilities. You can always download another launcher, e.g., nova, and make that your default launcher. There are also some pretty special launcher themes that can change the entire look and feel, say windows metro ( http://brobot175.co.uk/MetroUI/MetroUI.html) or iOS (miui or iPhone HD go launcher theme in market) if those are more to your liking. Before you "uninstall' go launcher ensure you have an alternate selected as your default, then I can tell you how! Hope that's a start.
[TouchPad Development] supercarrera:
This is a great rom! I'm loving my touchpad now.

I just have one question now however. How come the icons on my homepage are blurry, but the ones in the app drawer are sharp?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Not sure I'm seeing that, but you could try restating the launcher under the menu on the top right corner or try changing the grid size, also under that menu/preferences.
[TouchPad Development] LinuxNewb:
I'm not sure if it's because of the HD Go Launcher but it looks that way on mine as well. I'll remove go launcher and do shots before and after.

*EDIT - So it definitely is the Go Launcher. I just went to Apex launcher and all the images are crisp. Also, do not use titanium to remove HD Go launcher :)

Apex Launcher with high quality icons

View attachment 998090

Included Go Launcher in stock ROM (same icons look way blurry). There's also a glitch with the side scroll with the stock wallpaper.

[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Will report to go launcher folks and see if we get a response. There is a new version of the launcher, 1.05, that was released today. Also, updated rom coming soon. See OP news section for details.
[TouchPad Development] myx0mop:
Just want to jump onto this bandwagon to say that this is the ONLY ROM which has allowed my TP to become a fully functional Android tablet. Great work!!!

All this "launcher" stuff and related issues are trivial. I run Nova Prime on most of my gadgets, and it's a champ. Apex is similar to Nova, but in my experience hasn't been as stable. GO is nice, but I feel is a bit too bloated. Just run whatever feels good to YOU, and that can apply to any ROM on any android platform.
[TouchPad Development] LinuxNewb:
Tried the newest update on my other Touchpad and it doesn't address the icons or scrolling wallpaper issue.

Also, I noticed your build.prop has

# ro.build.product is obsolete; use ro.product.device
ro.build.product=tenderloin

but your updater-script asserts the device as ro.product.device. Not sure if that's a problem or not.

P.S I've seen in previous posts that you're looking for a small footprint but this definitely needs some type of file browser

---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

The major issue I have with Nova is it doesn't get updated too often. Last update was mid March :(
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
The ro.product.build tends to be safety valve for apps still checking against that identifier.

Lots of file browsers in the market. You really want me to choose one for all? Then like launcher I'll hear all the likes and dislikes about a choice. But you need a launcher for boot, whereas a file manager you don't.

BTW, I live in abq :-) .
[TouchPad Development] theBunkinator:
Thank you for this ROM, it is such a joy to use!

How can I get more detailed battery usage statistics?

I drain completely in about 16 hours, with only short periods of awake and screen on. Wifi is on constantly.

Didn't change kernels. Governor is interactive, I see it idle @192MHz.

Drain on sleep seems too high, does it not deep-sleep maybe?

I'm looking for the stats on what is using the battery, currently just says "battery usage data not available". Thanks for any tips!
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
I've been using go power master from the market for the last few days. It appears to be very good at killing unnecessary processes, thus freeing up memory and maybe conserving battery. It also has a very detailed report on what is consuming battery. Maybe you want to give that shot to see if it will help, although i'd guess it is your wifi always being on that is responsible.
[TouchPad Development] LinuxNewb:
It is crazy windy today! You don't see too many New Mexicans on here lol

I personally use root explorer but a good free one is Astro and if you do a search for "HD tablet" there's a good free file browser (ad supported) only for tablets.

Main reason I needed one included was because I had apk's on the internal card but didn't have my friends Gmail account to log in or have internet. There's no terminal emulator included and adb wasn't a choice. It just meant he had to wait a few more hours.

Apex launcher has been running pretty solid for me so I altered my install zip with apex in /system/apps

Flashing and modding ICS NOOB ways

Maybe anyone can help. After trying to install the above (Metro) my ANDROID failed booting. My resolution as follows:

1. Using CMW Re-install "Android" result - failed :eek:

2. Using CMW Re-install "Android" very clean (3x factory reset, wipe... wipe..) result - failed :eek:

3. Installed TWRP recovery 2 and repeated #1 & #2 result - failed :eek:

4. Uninstall android...using Novacom command, re-install using "ACMEinstaller2" result - failed :eek:

5. Again using CMW Re-install "Android" result - failed :eek:

6. Again using CMW Re-install "Android" very clean (3x factory reset, wipe... wipe..) result - failed :eek:

7. Using TWRP recovery 2, repeated #5 & #6 result - failed :eek:

I notice error message in "TWRP2" while installing "E:/Cannot load volume /misc!"

I google'd "TWRP E:/Cannot load volume /misc?" and found TWRP booting iossue (seriously I could not understand)....

Installed ROM three times and selected "reboot option" in TWRP and choose Cyanogen MOD (why menu is not "O.A.T. ROM"?)... patiently waited and after 30 minutes did not boot... FAILED:eek:

Then I restarted again.... after another 10 minutes... boot animation "ANDROID" showed up. Partially I'm done for this week.

OAT, should I try to install "Metro" launcher again OR just wait if you will add options in next update?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
No nandroid?

You will have to give Metro another go as I do not have any plans to include at this time.
[TouchPad Development] qbanways:
sup guys. I'm liking the reviews on this ROM. Hope I don't get any hate on here but I only rooted EVO 4G phones and never done the HP touchpad. Anyways, since my girl got the HTC EVO view, she gave me the touchpad we got during the fire sell. I want to go and flash this one but wanted to know if anyone has a recommended link to rooting the HP touchpad. Can you please PM me or post one that I can use? I see a few of them when I google it but there different methods and I want to make sure I use the right method.
[TouchPad Development] nitrobg:
Personally, I would suggest ES File Explorer - I have tried many of the file explorers and this one looks looks the best. It works flawlessly on the tablet, it has optional root explorer functions, it has internal picture, video and text viewers... It's up to you, though.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
There is IMHO, a very good video by the Reverend Kyle (?) that shows the basics of what you will do. You should be able to find it via google. The spin I would put on it is to only install moboot 3.5 and cwm with novacom/acmeinstaller2. Then make a nandroid of that followed by installing the rom and gapps using cwm. Below is a general link to many of the reverend's videos that should help you get started.

Guys, there is an option in titanium to create a flash able zip of titanium. So a solution is : backup using titanium, flash ROM /gapps, flash titanium, restore apps. No need to log into anything, no need to even connect to wifi
[TouchPad Development] slam11100:
Or you can make a nandroid before flashing, flash update to rom, and then restore data only and all your apps and settings return. I advise to do this only when flashing updates to a ROM and not in between roms. Cheers

Sent from og evo or tp running something these devs have cooked up
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Lots of updates in CM9, Rohan, and Adreno over the last 2.5 weeks that I've been gone, but have successfully rebuilt all, including the kernel. Am testing now, but with all these changes am going to be a bit more exhaustive in my testing. Also need to test if there is a compatibility problem with the new wifi drivers and the new kernel. Still, if there are no problems, you can expect a release later today or tomorrow.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Mostly good news, but a little bad news for those relying on the ath6kl wifi drivers. Please see the news section of the OP.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:

Installed Version B on my son's TP. All went great. He'll check it out on the college WiFi tomorrow.
[TouchPad Development] Ravynmagi:
A couple months ago I tried CM9 Alpha 1. I was disappointed with the performance and had problems with the touch screen sensitivity. So I ran back to CM7 and have been using that for some time now.

Decided to give LNT a try today. I wiped everything and installed Version A ontop. And have been playing with it for about an hour. The very first thing I had to do with install Nova Launcher.

I'm very pleased with the performance and the feel of the touch screen. This is definitely working much better than my CM9 experience 2 months ago. So far no real issues have come up. Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Did some benchmarking last night, both on Version A and Version B. I was surprised to find out that Version B with the older kernel seems to be consistently a bit faster than Version A. This is probably not observable in every day use, but the gamers pushing some of the more graphic intensive apps might see a bit of slowdown in frame rates in Version A. I am interested if anyone else is noticing an appreciable difference.
[TouchPad Development] swear0730:
The boy reports that after some initial trouble "obtaining IP address" on version B all is working fine and it seems to hold onto weak signals better at his college WiFis
[TouchPad Development] Ravynmagi:
Version A did the same thing for me. I didn't really pay attention to how long, but it definitely took a lot longer to obtain an IP address than I'd say is normal. I'm at work now trying to connect to wifi here... going on about 2 minutes now for "obtaining IP address..." and still waiting. Ah, just as I finished typing it finally connected, so about 2 minutes. At home once I did get the IP address with Version A it did seem to work fine for the rest of the night.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Is this one of your TPs that needed the ath6kl wifi drivers? If so, it would be more interesting to see how version A works (or doesn't) since it has the stock wifi drivers which are supposed to be improved, but maybe still not as good as the ath6kl drivers in version B. Sorry if I was confusing in my PM to you on this.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
On a new flash, after a cache and dalvik wipe, it seems it takes a bit longer to connect the first time. Or maybe it is just my impatience to try the new ROM. :eek:
[TouchPad Development] swear0730:
Yeah, I didn't get that at all from the PM. Anyway, I'll do a nandroid backup and install version "A" tonight and we'll see what happens tomorrow.

Regarding version "A" upgrades. I attempted to upgrade my TP to version A this morning. MD5 matched. I kept getting random reboots, which I had never experienced before. I only wiped cache and dalvik cache as I didn't want to start fresh. I went back into CWM and flashed twice and rebooted. Still got the random reboots.

I restored my nandroid to the "3/31" version, confirmed the random reboots weren't happening (about 30 minutes) and then installed version "B". No reboots in the past 2 hours.

Is a full wipe recommended before flashing version "A"?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Not that I know of. In my case, I went from the 3/31 release to version A with no problem, after just doing a cache and dalvik wipe. After testing A for a while, I went to a version Bnot with the new kernel and the ath6kl wifi drivers that would not connect to wifi, again only after a cache and dalvik wipe. Then I went to version B with the March 31 kernel and the ath6kl wifi drivers with all working properly, after just a cache and dalvik wipe. Late last night did some benchmarking on Version B, then wiped cache and dalvik, flashed version A, and repeated the benchmarks. This morning, back again to version B with no problems, after just a cache and dalvik wipe, because I'm "performance minded". :o Overall, I'd say I've probably spent about 40% of my time on version A with no problem.

There have already been 200+ downloads of Version A with no one else reporting that, but let's see if it comes up with someone else. The process for building the kernel has just recently been revamped and just this morning there were a whole bunch of updates, I believe, in regards to that process. Long story short, it could very well be the new kernel on version A is causing the reboots, and is possibly fixed today with the updates. If you continue to have reboots with A let me know and I will build a new A for you today to test.
