He expressly asked for links not to be given out
[TouchPad Development] Skripka:
Yup. I never even bothered with his beats implementation to play with it. I work in audio, and my coworkers and I shudder whenever we hear about "beats audio" software or hardware.

Hopefully, this isn't the final sunset of JB and ICS ROMs for the Touchpad. Both of my devices are getting EOL'd by devs. Last I knew Kang abandoned the TP long ago, and devs are dropping my Evo4G too.
[TouchPad Development] Moronig:
I just downloaded the 2908 LnTBA this morning as well, never installed a BA version before, but as OaT said he could almost hear a difference, I decided to give it a try.

Glad I got it when I did, and also the latest versions of both his CM10 and regular CM9.
[TouchPad Development] nickster1:
Well aren't you lucky lol *crying* :(
[TouchPad Development] TheOne741:
Ooooh man!

Too bad to hear it Oat!

I loved your roms.

Too bad its the first thing i see as soon as i get back from vacation.

Thanks for all your work though.

good luck

PS.

Would love to get my hands on your last rom.
[TouchPad Development] Nappyloxs:
This happened when on my rezound dev last week for the same reasons, but he changed his mind.

Oats, I and the rest of the Xda do thank you for your effort. 114 pages is more than most other Tp devs. We hope you reconsider. As we do appreciate all that you have done. If not, we understand and thank you. You are a top notch dev and are most respected for efforts.

John
[TouchPad Development] swear0730:
O.a.T. you don't owe any of us anything but I sure would like to know what happened. I truly appreciate your giving my TP a life beyond WebOS.

I am more than surprised. I hope you are well and you and your family are healthy and happy otherwise. Good luck in whatever you do.

(Ok, I really hope you land somewhere and keep giving our TP's life... Let me know )

;)
[TouchPad Development] pbassjunk:
Had this whole diatribe written out, but really, meh.

Thanks oat for the hard work. Our collective apologies for not handing out the "atta-boy's" soon and/or frequently enough.
[TouchPad Development] TheOne741:
What can we do to change your mind OaT?

I would really love to have the latest rom...

Pleaseeeee????
[TouchPad Development] Sebz4n:
I will never understand killing all the links. I know the community can be "ungrateful", but in the end, if you leave nothing behind, nothing has been accomplished. If you do it for the likes XDA is the wrong place to be a dev, hell, any online forum is.
[TouchPad Development] zim2dive:
So as mentioned previously, I'm new to LnT and CM9... With ICS, I was expecting to see some tablet "soft keys".. ie. how to do "back" and press/hold "home" to see existing apps to swipe them away....

thanks for any usage tips!
[TouchPad Development] kangi26:
Because it's his work, and if he'd rather not have it posted anymore, that is his decision. He gave a LOT to this community, and just because you may or may not agree with how he chose to leave, in no way means nothing has been accomplished. When you are part of this community long enough, you will see that ALL of this is transitory, every bit of it. If you ask anyone who was part of team Phoenix over on the Captivate threads, even though none of the original team even owns Cappys anymore, dont think for a sec we don't know we did some really cool stuff. But we've all moved on to different areas and it did mean something to a lot of people

It belongs to OaT, and he is the only one entitled to it, and no one else. So no sense in taking it personally that he took his toys and went home
[TouchPad Development] hollywood084:
If i give you $5, then take it back, did I really give you anything? I don't really care about what he wants to do with his stuff, but...Just sayin...
[TouchPad Development] kangi26:
What does that really have to do with anything?

He gave his time, and his knowledge, and if you ever once ran any of his rom's, he gave you something. Just because you don't use it anymore, or he's not dev'ing it anymore, or decides not to publish it anymore doesn't mean he didn't give anything.

(Not directed at you hollywood)Maybe more people should learn how to dev themselves and not be so entitled. Publish it, and let me know how that works after a few months
[TouchPad Development] platinum8317:
Unfortunately, the second he posted it on the Internet and allowed others to download it. "It" no longer belonged to just him. It belongs to everyone else that got a chance to grab his work. That's the internet.
[TouchPad Development] bananagranola:
Welp, that analogy...makes no sense at all. $5 is expendable. A ROM is not. He gave you however many months of use of his ROM.

"Possession" != "ownership."

I'm not saying I'm not disappointed as well - I was planning to give his ROM a try earlier today - but (edit) I think we might want to just let it be. He made a well-respected ROM, he's chosen to take it down, time to move on.
[TouchPad Development] kangi26:
That is totally true, as far as the internet goes. But as far as here on XDA, it's his work and that's kind of how it stays
[TouchPad Development] hollywood084:
In general, if you don't want people to have your work, don't post open source projects on the internet. It doesn't matter where it's at.
[TouchPad Development] platinum8317:
Well then sorry to say all his talent, hard work and time was a total waste. I really did like his ROM. Give it a day or two and I'm sure you'll find his rom on the net somewhere.
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Been using 8/29 for the whole day and I gotta say it's pretty nice. Came from CM9 nightlies and there was always 'something' that didn't work. Lately it was the fact that the battery wouldn't last a day. Some research showed there was a USB wakelock bug or something that kept the TP from going to deep sleep. Anyway, no such issue with LnT, battery is solid, not as good as WebOS but probably the best I've seen with Android.

I really tried to like Go Launcher HD, moved in, arranged stuff etc. but it just never felt right. Plus the big old top menu bugged me. I then tried Holo Launcher HD and while that was faster than a Ferrari it kept FCing some apps (CNN, Flipbook) and I had a reboot or two. So, I fixed permissions, cleared caches and installed Apex - heaven! Fast, smooth, no FC's or crashes and it looks great.

The rom is miserly on ram usage (if you don't let Facebook anywhere near it) and always seems snappy. Usually 400MB or so available at any given time.

It's definitely a keeper and by far the best I've found for the elderly TP. My next project is to get USB OTG going so I can slam some movies on my flash drive and play them on a plane. Not a big fan of having to transfer that stuff to the internal storage.

I'll keep beating on the rom and try to find some bugs (will report back if I do) but so far it is rock solid.
[TouchPad Development] itsmebryan:
I'm sorry to see him go. But, thanks for your time and your Roms.

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

I'm glad you were able to download the rom. Not to sound like a jerk. But, how is reporting bugs on a rom that no one can get helpful to all the people that can't get it? Also if it is the greatest rom of all time and you come back and let us know..... Then what? no one else can get it. All it will do is depress the people that can't get it. Just my $.02
[TouchPad Development] itsmebryan:
I'm sorry you felt you had to go. But, thanks for the roms so for they were great. I just wish I didn't wait to download the last rom. ;) Oh, well I guess I'm getting a "Surface" for sure now. I wish you all the best in the future.
[TouchPad Development] zachenry:
I know it is a day late and a dollar short, but I really appreciate your work and I hope all is well. Forgive the selfish masses. Thanks sir, I will miss the excitement that comes from looking in your thread for updates! :)
[TouchPad Development] mattyguk:
Snap! I hadn't been on the forums for a little while (needed to catchup on some real world issues) came back and there was no updates to my current rom, so came here after a recommendation only to find no links. :( Ahh well, its a real shame, I wish the Dev all the best and hope he continues even if not here, its always a great shame to lose a good dev on any device.
[TouchPad Development] :
It's his work, he owns it, he can do whatever he wants with it... good job OaT.
[TouchPad Development] Langdang02:
Waiting you back, OaT, stick with your rom
[TouchPad Development] noellenchris:
OK, the thread is closed till the op requests it's open. It's getting really off topic here.

[TouchPad Development] nitrobg:
Hello. After I have installed the ROM through CWM, wiped data, caches and system, the ROM doesn't boot and the device is either stuck on "Loading..." or reboots itself after 30-60 sec being stuck on "Loading..."

Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
What ROM are you coming from? Did you check the MD5's? Did you do the wipes/formats before flashing or after flashing the ROM?
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
+1

How I got around it: Assuming you have done all the proper wipes, flash the rom then gapps, then flash the rom again, then gapps again. That has worked for me twice now.
[TouchPad Development] nolimit06:
ROM looks great, downloading now! :)

---------- Post added at 01:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 AM ----------

I have downloaded the files twice from mediafire and I keep getting bad file errors when trying to flash the files. I have checked the md5 as well once downloaded and it matches.

EDIT: Formatted sdcard and it works now... No idea why that happened.
[TouchPad Development] nolimit06:
Only thing I would like to see added is stylus support from the CM9 nightly :)
[TouchPad Development] nitrobg:
CherryKANG.

I did not check, but I downloaded it twice - first time from the tablet, second time from the PC, still the same.

I wiped before and after the flashing.
[TouchPad Development] toto291:
Thank you so much for this Rom. Extremly stable and no fancy apps. Great job
[TouchPad Development] dawinkley1:
impressions

I'll start off apologizing to O.T.A- Im one of the initial testers that didn't leave feedback...spent the last 4 days in a seminar out of town, after flashing this weekend. Was a surprise trip, so didn't play with it before I got there. Fooled with it whenever anyone wasn't watching me and here are my impressions:

Came from Classic Nerd Buttah.

No install issues, wifi works perfectly in about 3 different locations it was available. Battery was decent to pretty good (as opposed to "ok-decent' with my previous ROM)

I don't care for the launcher, but 'get it'... it's simple and light and goes with the reasoning behind it. Easily replaced it through the market with suggestions I've seen.

Solid reliable ROM. I'm not as familiar with all the options and available apps in Market, so it's a somewhat intimidating blank slate when it comes to adding apps, so I'm afraid Im missing out on some functionality that may be out there. Im a 45 year old businessman without a lot of time to research, but Im sure there's those 'must have app' forums out there I can find.

No video issues (while my previous did have some hiccups, that they've fixed and will roll out soon but this one's already got them implemented)

bottom line: Im keeping it as my daily driver. I like the battery and reliability of it. I highly recommend it. Nice job OTA. Again- my apologies for the delay and I appreciate the opportunity. (BTW- my version was the 2nd one privately made available for DL)
[TouchPad Development] kumar754:
Thanks for the ROM!

thanks bro, as few others mentioned this rom is extremely stable, didn't had any problems et all, no wifi issue, no restart problems, fast, and everything works gr8. Excellent job!!

just few things which has been an issue from day one

1) VPN (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)

2) MIC (GOOD TO HAVE)

3) CAM (MOST PEOPLE WONT CARE)
[TouchPad Development] dung8604:
I agree with everyone else. Wifi and battery are phenomenal. You did such a great job with this ROM. I've got it clocked at stock 1.2 ghz with a setcpu profile to minimize when screen off and didn't get a single hiccup when testing last night. Definitely my daily driver ATM.

Has anyone tried supreme mod 1.3 with this ROM? I want to give it a shot, but don't want to ruin OAT's work lol.
[TouchPad Development] ddish:
Video??

I also tried this rom and while I did like its feel, I lost the ability to watch Netflix and youtube HD...is this something that is known or did something go wrong with my install?
[TouchPad Development] reggiexp:
Just a question

Euh would like this rom because jou have the adreno 2xx drivers implanted but just want to know does that change any thing?

And could someone make a video!? Thatt would be great
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
The init.d script of Rohan's Supreme Mod is already built in, not the build.prop tweaks.

Must be something with your install, as many others have said that it works well and it is also stated in the OP that it is included. I have no problems with either Netflix or YouTube HD.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Some say it helps a lot in terms of conneting, others say no difference. Personally, I have no trouble with wifi so I can't tell. Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones with wifi problems that it helps?
[TouchPad Development] dan-fish:
The drivers also speed up the device. Definitely made an improvement on my desire s
[TouchPad Development] nolimit06:
Hate to post this again but is there a chance of stylus support getting added back?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Stylus Support

Wasn't ignoring you, was just waiting to see if others voiced an opinion on this request. In the meantime, I'll post the .apk in the OP which can be inserted in system/app via your favorite rooted browser followed by a reboot. Since it is very small, I have no problem including it and will in the next public release
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Yeah for the old guys :D ! Actually, you are not very old, as I am pushing 60! So now you know what the "O" in O.a.T. stands for. Any guesses about the "a" and the "T"?

The whole O.a.T. nickname thing came up a few years back when I was playing paintball with the younger crowd. OK, I hear the snickering in the background; now stop it! But the O.a.T.'s as a team used to overwhelm even when we were outnumbered by as many as 10:1.
[TouchPad Development] mcorrie1121:
Looking forward to trying your rom! A couple questions:

- How long do you think testing the 4.0.4 will last?

- Will it most likely be a full wipe over your current version?

Thanks!
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
I promised a public update no later than this weekend, and to be more specific, I'll commit to a public release NLT Saturday evening. There are still a fair number of new commits to the CM9 repo, I believe as a result of ICS 4.04, and I'll try to capture those as well as test the ROM pretty well myself before releasing.
[TouchPad Development] beagz:
Just wanted to add my thanks. I really like the performance of this ROM. Thank you.
[TouchPad Development] reggiexp:
thx

okay na i have stock cm9 rom! works great but was just interseted in this rom because it has the adreno 2xx drivers included

but i think i will stay on cm9, and wifi is alright 1h then stops but im happy with it!^^

and thx for awnsering! so it's no big change in this rom?
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Old and Tired? I know I am...... :D
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Just very much lighter (~70Mb vs ~110/120Mb) and the tweaks mentioned on the OP.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Nope. Old and Treacherous. In field ball, we used a lot of different bait and trap ploys that for the most part seemed to work well against the younger (<= in college) players. That, and our shooting skills were much more developed than their spray and pray approach.
[TouchPad Development] travisross69:
You need a snarling goat as your avatar! Lol. Keep up the great work O.a.T!
[TouchPad Development] nolimit06:
I really like GO Launcher but the icons looked really fuzzy and had a lot of text overlapping in the app drawer so I removed it and installed NOVA Launcher and it works great and IMO made the ROM that much better! Looking forward to the release this weekend :)
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
I understand. I think it has to do with the aspect ratio of the TPad, as it looks fine on my wife's Acer A500. I've been a bit surprised also at their lack of updates on this launcher. Guess I was used to their weekly updates on Go Launcher EX. Probably will hang with them to see if they address this issue over their next couple of updates.
[TouchPad Development] nolimit06:
I will be keeping a eye on it to see if they make it compatible with a wider range of resolutions and aspect ratios. They always give you a lot and for the low price of $0 you can't beat the quality :P
[TouchPad Development] babcocca:
New Update for Go Launcher HD

Heads up, O.a.T.!

http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/2012/03/go-launcher-hd-v1-03/
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Thanks. It'll go into today's public release.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Updated ROM posted on OP. FileFactory is having problems today, so hopefully I'll be able to mirror there later today/tonight.
[TouchPad Development] nitrobg:
Thanks. What's new?
[TouchPad Development] babcocca:
Seems good..

PlayOn not launching videos... prolly their fault.

How do you turn on the usb sdcard access? Maybe I need a driver for MTP USB device?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Re: PlayOn. I use MX Player with no problems.

Re: USB sdcard access. Same as usual for me. Settings>>Storage>>Menu/USB Computer Connection. Check "Connect as Media device".
[TouchPad Development] dung8604:
So I wiped, flashed, supreme modded, and then restored data from a backup, and it runs very well for me. However, I occasionally get reboots when I didn't with the previous version. Is anyone else experiencing this? Maybe its because I restored data.
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
No reboots for me, but I don't restore data and wouldn't recommend that. Since I came from my previous version, I just wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash and all has been well.
[TouchPad Development] dung8604:
Hmm so you didn't wipe data? I tried that and it wouldn't boot. It might also be my setcpu settings. I've got it set to minimum with screen off. Anyways, great, great ROM! I don't want to try anything else because this one is so awesome. I also noticed you removed boot animation. Thanks for that, saved me from doing it myself.
[TouchPad Development] SamirSan:
Thanks for the work this ROM is running fine! Better than CM9 imo...

I have 2 questions though, i couldn't install gmail with the apk tour provided, i read that i should move it to a system folder but i couldn't find it... can you please explain how to install gmail?

I read also that some have installed apex launcher or nova instead of go launcher... i wasn't ableto uninstall go launcher so how did you manage to do it?

Ok i just installed apex and configured it as defaut launcher but still no gmail, when i try to install it i have a application non installed error
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Nope, I don't wipe data in between flashes of my own ROM. Just wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and then flash. Lately, haven't even had to flash gapps after ROM flash. Keeps all my apps, google accounts, etc., in place.

Yeah, the new 6MB boot animation is very top heavy IMHO, and easy enough for people to include this or other animations if they want one.

You place the gmail.apk in system/app folder with a rooted browser, ensuring the permissions are the same as the other .apk's there. Then reboot. You can also remove other system .apk's , e.g. GO Launcher HD, that way or you can change the extension from .apk to say .apk.bak which will prevent android from loading it but let you reactivate it easily if you so desire later, again all using a rooted browser.
[TouchPad Development] nitrobg:
What is /system/bin/surfaceflinger and why is it using huge amount of cpu time?

The tablet (with wifi off) used around 15% of battery for 12 hours of standby and this process is at the top with 3m 30s cpu time, and the next one - a keyboard service is using 42s of cpu time. What's the reason of this?
[TouchPad Development] nikos5800:
great rom score huge on likpack avg 86mflop overclocked at 1.782ghz:p

in antutu score ~6500:)

have you overclocked gpu? because I have see big difference in nenamark and antutu ~8fps more then:)

sorry for my bad englishe:D
[TouchPad Development] No47:
Edit: fixed by reinstalling & using gapps

Great rom! No problems with sods, wifi or bluetooth so far! :D
[TouchPad Development] redrapt0r:
Hmmm I just tried flashing to no avail. I make sure to hit "boot into cyanogen mod 9" at the blue start up screen but just brings me right back to the same screen about 10 seconds later. I wiped data, dalvik, system, ect.

Im trying this rom since the base CM9 version wont connect to my wifi...Im scared I borked my touchpad...
[TouchPad Development] No47:
Maybe the kernel couldn't be copied? Try cleaning out /boot and reinstalling LnT.
[TouchPad Development] redrapt0r:
Im still a bit of a newb at this whole rooting thing. What is LNT?
[TouchPad Development] No47:
Light n Tasty :D

Also, if that is your only question regarding my advice then you're further along the path of enlightenment than many ;)
[TouchPad Development] flomar247:
This is one of the better ROMs I have tried. However, no one seems to be mentioning this but on every ICS ROM, including this one, playing embedded video in the browser does not work well. Sometimes I can get it to load if I maximize it but it usually just fails to load entirely. Youtube video in the app works fine but not in the browser. Is everyone experiencing the same bug?
[TouchPad Development] O.a.T.:
Low-level window compositer. 1.25% battery per hr on standby. 3.5 min of CPU in 720 < .5%. What is your point?

No over locking, CPU or gpu.

I suspect your boot partition is filled from flashing other rooms. Needs to be cleaned.

Unfortunately a standard occurence in all the rooms I've tried. I stick with the app.
[TouchPad Development] itsmebryan:
This is a great rom so far. I'm not into all the bells and whisles, overclocking, etc... I just a rom that works. I move to this rom from CN. Keep up the good work.
[TouchPad Development] ced357:
Does wifi work without disconnection ?
[TouchPad Development] ghostzyden:
Try it lol
[TouchPad Development] dung8604:
I only ran into slight issues at my girls place here, where wifi is pretty shoddy anyways. Also had like four computers connected at the time. But it wasn't a problem with maintaining connection, just didn't connect well at first. Had to forget the network, toggle wifi on and off, the reconnect. Working fine now. Everywhere else, wifi is a champ with this ROM and supreme mod 1.4.
[TouchPad Development] ghostzyden:
Rom is running good thanks old man:-)
[TouchPad Development] itsmebryan:
I was just wondering. Does the supreme mod 1.4 really improve this rom and does the modd have any downside. The thing I like about this rom is that it works. That is what's the most important to me. Thanks
[TouchPad Development] viskon:
Wifi connects everytime. Runs really fast.Nice work, o.a.t.
[TouchPad Development] dung8604:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think oat said supreme mod 1.3 tweaks are already included, but not the build.prop. So the only reason to flash supreme 1.4 is to get the build prop for games, and the supercharger script. IMO, its worth it, I don't notice a downside. I'll try reflashing tonight without the mod or supercharge, but I highly doubt I will notice a difference. This ROM is too good anyways.
