The best ROM I've used so far!

I've been using this ROM for the past few days and I cannot fault it! It is ridiculously smooth running on my TP, especially with my current setup as I'll post at the bottom of this reply! Thank you SGA for a fantastic ROM and bringing the old touchpad back into contention!

My settings:

O'C to 1.78GHz - Interactive

140 dpi

Apex launcher tweaked settings I.e transition speed, style etc.

Result = Ridiculous smoothness!
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Agreed, stellar rom.

My only issue is it will sometimes take two, three, four taps on an icon to start a program. The first few times it will say the program failed to load (or something like that) and then magically one time it will work, strange. Doesn't seem to favor one program over any other, completely random. This is from a super clean install and running the Holo Launcher that came with it. Permissions fixed. Anyone else having this issue?
[TouchPad Development] FatPhysicsBoy:
Haven't had that issue myself but then again I'm not using Holo, I'm getting such good performance from apex by doing things like having no scrolling transition and increasing the transition speed and the same for the drawer.

Sounds like an issue with Holo, have you tried clearing dalvik? Failing that even clearing data in the holo launcher app?
[TouchPad Development] cornishrefugee:
I've tried to flash this twice (using twrp 2.2.0) and it never appears in my apps or input settings. Anyone got any advice?
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
It overwrites the android keyboard - try some swype gestures on it ;) should be good to go immediately after flashing.
[TouchPad Development] ponyboy82:
What kernel are you using? The performance tab doesn't let me oc
[TouchPad Development] :
You'll have to use a third party app. I recommend android tuner free
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
ROM Toolbox is a good alternative, too.
[TouchPad Development] Aganar:
Question awhile back I never got a reply on. What is the default dpi on this rom? How do I check?

Sent from my CM9 Epic 4G Touch
[TouchPad Development] sstar:
DL an app called DPI Changer . It will tell your current DPI and allow you to change it if you wish.
[TouchPad Development] :
160
[TouchPad Development] kangi26:
The default is 160, and you can check by using a file explorer like File Manager or ES File Explorer, go to system and open the build.prop as a text

look almost all the way to the bottom, the line will read "ro.sf.lcd_density=160"

Edit*** What ↑ said
[TouchPad Development] lewmur:
This seems to have some Swype features but there is no Swype key and I don't see a way to add to the Swype dictionary. One of the big advantages of Swype, IMO, is auto inputing of things like my email address, passwords etc. How can you do this with this keyboard?
[TouchPad Development] pmgreen:
Can't get sound on most of the apps since the update. Anyone else having the same issue?
[TouchPad Development] FatPhysicsBoy:
I'm using SetCPU, you can't OC from the performance tab, just view your current settings.

There were other names recommended too, you can crank it up to 1.78Ghz on the stock kernel.
[TouchPad Development] ponyboy82:
Thanks guys. I assumed a custom kernel was needed since the options in settings were greyed out. Rocking 1500 now!
[TouchPad Development] Aganar:
Huh. I thought pegasusq was baked into cm9 as an option. Guess that must be specific to my phone.

Sent from my CM9 HP Touchpad
[TouchPad Development] slam11100:
This is the first complaint of this kind. I have no sound issues. Try booting into recovery and wiping dalvik and cache a few times. Sometimes this magically fixes things
[TouchPad Development] Aganar:
So after flashing the most recent update I can't open the play store. It tries to open then immediately closes and takes me back to home screen. No message, no force close error, nothing.

Any ideas?

Sent from my CM9 Epic 4G Touch
[TouchPad Development] slam11100:
Try wiping the play stores cache. If that doesn't work go into recovery wipe dalvik and cache, then reflash gapps
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Did you flash Gapps after you updated the rom? Gotta do that :)
[TouchPad Development] Aganar:
Every time? Never had to do that with the cm nightly.

Oh well, that seems to have fixed it. Thanks.

Sent from my CM9 Epic 4G Touch
[TouchPad Development] cdzo72:
You must be mistaken... a system partition wipe is built into the updater.script file when flashing CM so if flashed you lost gApps or any other system apps not included in the CM zip
[TouchPad Development] chicle_11:
I clear cache and dalvik cache, then flash the nightly. I don't flash gapps and I have all the Google apps, same as I had before.

Edit : I flash the official CM9 nightlies.
[TouchPad Development] cdzo72:
So do I... if I don't flash gApps I don't have gApps at boot... the system wipe is even in the script in the zip
[TouchPad Development] eriscentro:
Srry guys responded to the wrong thread....delete please
[TouchPad Development] x000x:
same thing happened to me and i thought maybe it was a bug or something. i finally ran the update. everything seemed to go well. then i tried to load the google play store and said app not installed or something. so i rebooted into cwm, looked for the file where it used to be.. not there. but this appears to be normal behavior? i did select the little wipe dalvik/cache box when running goomgr, but i didnt think it would have deleted what was on my sd card.

is there a way to prevent this every time i run an update from the goomgr? i never bother to make a backup but i'm guessing that would help?
[TouchPad Development] pocketrussian:
Strange, I too never had to reflash gapps after an update of official CM9. Is wiping the system partition a new thing or is it specific to this ROM?
[TouchPad Development] :
Wiping the system just makes sure you get it as it was intended. Without bugs or hang over's...
[TouchPad Development] Jedipottsy:
awesome rom is awesome, loving this rom!
[TouchPad Development] len207:
The official CM9 Nightlies do not format the system partition. I have used the official ROM since April and other than one update to Gapps never needed to reflash regardless of the number of updates flashed. This ROM I have had to reinstall each new flash.
[TouchPad Development] foolforfood:
I had the same problem, but I found a left angle micro usb cable on Amazon and my woes are gone.
[TouchPad Development] slam11100:
Sga, do you think a full wipe is necessary coming from another 4.04 rom, or is wiping cache + dalvik + system enough? Thanks
[TouchPad Development] :
That's all you should need
[TouchPad Development] Grindboy:
Is anyone else getting an invalid MD5 message with the OTA?
[TouchPad Development] :
I've gotten that a few times, I think its just a problem with their servers or something. When the DL is going really slow, I think it just times you out.
[TouchPad Development] Grindboy:
Thanks SGA, I'll keep trying :)
[TouchPad Development] BB88:
Good job. Just want to tag myself here.
[TouchPad Development] buzz86us:
liking the rom not liking goomanager's dependence on TWRP which can't flash Dubi's hidebar mod for whatever reason.
[TouchPad Development] MrFunnyMan:
Rom is great so far ... I am getting crashes out of ezPDF reader. Any ideas on how to fix or correct this?
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Would anyone mind uploading the latest ROM to dropbox, and providing a download link? I am attempting a re-flash, and Goomanager is crawling.

Thanks in advance! :)

EDIT: Seeing as how I have to leave for work now, I guess I have plenty of time to let it download.

When I get home, and if anyone's interested, I can upload it temporarily while GooManager works out its kinks.
[TouchPad Development] umaru:
actually, could someone mirror the file...? mine is downloading at 0.0kbps with one second spurts of 30kbps every 5 mins.....

maybe there's something wrong with goo.im :S
[TouchPad Development] :
They're jerks...:banghead:
[TouchPad Development] nickster1:
Here you go.

[TouchPad Development] hanjosep:
I love your keyboard but there's no Korean support D:
[TouchPad Development] slam11100:
Boot into recovery. Wipe dalvik and cache. Fix permissions. Reboot
[TouchPad Development] umaru:
thanks a lot!
[TouchPad Development] BB88:
What version of gapps are you guys using? The only one that works for me is signed_GAPPS-IML74K-010112.zip. When I tried other version like gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip, the gapps (gmail or play store) will close immediately.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
I'm using 4/29.... Did you clear your caches after flashing? Try clearing play store data in system/settings/all apps if you have already cleared them.
[TouchPad Development] nickster1:
I'm using the 429 version with no problems.
[TouchPad Development] x000x:
i'm using the one from here http://goo.im/gapps (4.0.3-4)
[TouchPad Development] BB88:
Thanks guys. I always clear caches after flashing. If I install the 429 version alone, I am not able to add a Google Account under "Account/Sync". I'll try clearing data for Play Store, but I probably should do a full wipe.

UPDATE: Did a full wipe and problem solved.
[TouchPad Development] mrvanity:
I am experiencing a strange problem.when I change the system's language, from US English to Greek lets say,I get FC's on some Gapps.random crashes on maps and permanent FC' s on YouTube app.

A anyone can imagine why is that happening?

P.s. Great rom by the way!
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Just some food for thought for you, SGA, for future builds:

HERE'S a port of CM File Manager for CM9 devices. I've installed it on my TP and it seems to work flawlessly.
[TouchPad Development] macpat83:
This is likely a totally newbie question, but after installing this ROM I have one inch of dead space at top and bottom of home screens. How do I correct that?
[TouchPad Development] nimms:
That's a hardware issue. If it's under warranty, talk to HP ASAP.

No rom can fix that. You'll find that defect in webOs too. happened to mine, HP replaced it/fixed it.
[TouchPad Development] :
Anyone want this with a working camera?
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Yes, please! :)
[TouchPad Development] :
Good, I'm testing it right now... :D
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
You, sir, are a gentleman & a scholar.

I eagerly await your upload!
[TouchPad Development] slam11100:
That would be sweetness!
[TouchPad Development] gnuts:
Firstly, thanks for the work and the ROM. Secondly, creamy photos would be wonderful

[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Hmmm, lemme think about that.... YES! :D
[TouchPad Development] :
It's coming guys, just made a couple changes and had to recompile which takes a long time on this old dual core...
[TouchPad Development] :
I'll let you guys test it here before updating the OP and GooManager...

FatnCreamy_Nov11.zip - 128.20 MB
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Any other changes, updates or just the camera? Can't believe I just said 'just the camera' :)
[TouchPad Development] :
Yes, CM10 file manager, 4.2 keyboard, more CPU frequencies, and GPU oc, and Nov 11 source.
[TouchPad Development] :
I've already got a couple more changes I am going to make with the Kernel. Can you guys see any issues?
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Downloaded it but haven't flashed it yet as football got in the way ;) Will do so and report back a bit later tonight. Thanks for hooking us up SGA.
[TouchPad Development] silkander:
I am unable to flash Gapps, but that is probably just something I am doing wrong. I just flash the zip after flashing the rom, right? I have tried both from here and here. Is it just me?
[TouchPad Development] gnuts:
First download failed to install, downloading again.

Was using Firefox on my touchpad, 2 downloads, 2 md5s neither correct. Using chrome now

[TouchPad Development] ingenue007:
Install failed for me. I get loop booting. Cleared caches installed update gapps again and the other SGA gamer kernel. (Maybe that was the prob). Is the other kernel compatible?
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
I wiped cache, dalvik and system then flashed the Nov11 build plus the 0429 gapps using TWRP. Tablet booted fine and camera worked ;)

I experienced several random reboots so I fixed permissions and rebooted, no change.

I cleared cache and dalvik, no change.

I then kicked the minimum cpu speed to 384 (from 192) and so far it's been stable. I'll keep beating on it and report back with my findings.
[TouchPad Development] macpat83:
Sorry I probably used the wrong lingo. The screen isn't dead but I have limited space to add widgets and shortcuts on the home screen. There is an inch at the top and bottom where I can't add anything.
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
What launcher are you using? You can adjust the margins (left/right & top/bottom) in the settings menu of Holo Launcher, Apex and Nova.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
No problems here when flashing the test ROM, either. Tested the camera, and woah - it's weird! I've never had a (working) camera on the TP, before! I guess I'm still in a state of shock! It works, though!

I amped up the CPU to 1860 Mhz, and my TP didn't seem to like that - so time to work my way down to find a happy middle-ground.

Good thing I have tomorrow off - time to start tinkering with the my Tender loin ( :p ).

I'll weigh in more in a bit! You're the man, SGA!

- I've attached my test photo, if anyone is interested in seeing the quality. That's my "Holy crap, the camera works!" face -
[TouchPad Development] gnuts:
Download with chrome got the correct md5, installed fine. Had one reboot now all seems well. Camera works, I took a picture of my daughter, it looks a bit grainy. I don't know the quality of the camera though. Overall I'd have to say that this rocks.

- signature goes here
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
UPDATE: Well, it seems as though the kernel (for me, at least) is having the same issues it was before - CPU set to 1512 solves RR issues in The Bards Tale.

None the less - sticking with 11/11 FnC & GamerZ kernel. :good:

Well, the camera is 1.3 MP, so we can't expect TOO much. ;)
[TouchPad Development] phire420:
So what is the best approach to take when upgrading from Oct 31 build?

Do i need to clear cache(s) before flashing 11/11?

Do i need to reflash gapps?

Do i need to reinstall apps after upgrade?

TIA!

SGA this ROM is amazing. Thanks for your effort and hard work!
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Per usual, I would format both caches prior to flashing 11/11.

I automatically flash Gapps after every ROM flash, so I couldn't say for certain, but I would imagine a re-flash of Gapps is necessary after flashing 11/11.
[TouchPad Development] hachoo:
My camera still doesn't work despite reflashing twice and fixing permissions etc.

Just put on the new kernel though and it's great.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Did you flash what was listed in the OP or did you flash the ZIP from SGA's post 2 pages back?

This is the current pre-release of FnC.

If you already know all of this, and flashed 11/11, well, that's a weird issue. :o I wish I could help more, but I am having no such issues with the camera.
[TouchPad Development] phire420:
Flashed both caches, flashed 11/11, reflashed gapps, rebooted and everything is fine, settings persisted and apps and launcher layout stayed the same.

Camera working!
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
:good:Pretty sweet, eh?:good:
[TouchPad Development] hachoo:
Flashed with the Nov version.... turns out its something weird with the Gamerz kernel crashing everything... not sure what's happening. Stock is fine though.
[TouchPad Development] nolimit06:
Thanks good sir, I really like your work. Downloading the latest build now.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Don't max it out, just yet. Set your min value to 384, and play around with the max value - people are reporting success at varying max values. I have my max set to 1512 (which is the highest frequency on my TP that will let me play 3D intensive games).
[TouchPad Development] hachoo:
I have had no luck with the Gamerz kernel. It doesn't boot into android anymore. I've left the kernel to stock (whatever comes with the Nov ROM) and OC'd using SetCPU. Got it on 1512/384 and it's reasonably good. Lag a little in Google Play when loading apps but not bad.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
If you're using stock, you're safe to overclock the CPU to the maximum settings w/o issue (as far as my Touchpad is concerned, at least).
[TouchPad Development] hachoo:
Crashes above 1.8Ghz for me AFAIK. Just trying to get the best battery life/smoothness combo.
[TouchPad Development] nadieaqui:
just wanted to express my thanks and appreciations for your work
[TouchPad Development] BB88:
I am coming from CM9 Nightlies, and I found that when using this rom, I constantly have to End All tasks, or else many apps will close immediately after start. Is it just me? I didn't use any custom kernel, and of course I did not overclock

I have done a factory reset before installing this rom.
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Closing immediately as in FCs? If so, try fixing permissions.
[TouchPad Development] cdzo72:
That use to happen to me constantly but on CM9 nightlies... since switching to CM10 its not been an issue
[TouchPad Development] BB88:
It didn't say FC, but it said <app name> has stopped.
[TouchPad Development] jojojojojojojojo:
Hi,

I have similar "immediately closing" issues. Which permissions do you refer to?

Thank!

Johannes
[TouchPad Development] pocketrussian:
Hi means to boot into cwm recovery via power menu, go to advanced menu and select "fix permissions". Take a look at the log to see which permissions where change. These are file access permissions in the Unix sense, BTW.
[TouchPad Development] x000x:
under the Init.d script tweaks there is one called "fixperms" i assumed this meant fix permissions. then again, theres no description what these tweaks do, so maybe i'm incorrect. but if it does mean fix permissions, then doesnt that mean that this script automatically fixes them? and thus manually fixing permissions wont do much of anything? thats another thing i dont know about, if these scripts automatically run during first install or something.
[TouchPad Development] :
Okay, I've uploaded the Nov12/12 to GooManager and I just wanted to say a couple things about it:

It is not Compatible with the GamerZ Kernel for CM9!

The camera is working! (Based on Doregarray's preview 9)

Make sure to format the /system and wipe all caches before installing, then flash the ROM and GAPPs! Fix permissions manually just to be safe.

Other things I can't remember right now or don't know about yet.
[TouchPad Development] :
I need to change the code for that to happen automatically. Right now it will run on each boot only when you have fix permissions on boot selected.
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Still shows 'uploading' but that's OK, I can wait. Any changes/updates to this from the 11/11 preview I'm running? Only bug I have now is the same as has been previously experienced by other folks - the immediate closing of an app just after I've tried to open it. Fixing permissions didn't help - still looking for a solution.
[TouchPad Development] :
I cleared data to install and havent been experiencing any problems. This may be one of those times where it is really necessary...
[TouchPad Development] ItsDon:
Yeah, agreed, that's just what I did. Strange thing though, the build date and other info shows 10/31/12 ?? I know it's not really that build because the camera works :)

Still loading up my apps, hopefully the immediate 'failed to load' issues will be be gone with the newly wiped system.
[TouchPad Development] copene:
So is this the same as the 11/11 that leaked? In don't want to jinx it, but I haven't had a reboot since I installed it yesterday and I'm shocked. Any chance of getting that script or .zip of the boot clean so I can run it with CM10 alpha?
[TouchPad Development] :
No GPU OC in this version, as I feel it is better done as an add on.
[TouchPad Development] Jon (aka nle):
Thank you! Love your work. :)

I get "your device isn't compatible with this version" when I try to install Skype from Google Play.

My build prop is set to this:

ro.product.model=SGH-T989

ro.product.brand=samsung

ro.product.name=SGH-T989

ro.product.device=SGH-T989

And I have cleared app cache and data.

Any advice? Thanks! :)

[TouchPad Development] :
That's from my phone, so it might work for ya, other than that you could side load...

Edit: I tried with the stock build.prop and it is reporting Skype as compatible.
[TouchPad Development] Jon (aka nle):
So, you with a clean install of your CM9 rom –*you could download skype fine? Because I tried that, and I still got the same error.

EDIT:

Sorry, it has to be my dpi. I always set it to 132.
[TouchPad Development] :
Tested and working great!
[TouchPad Development] Juan685:
This is hot. Thanks for the hard work.
[TouchPad Development] Sepharite:
My tablet continues to reboot when in sleep. Is this still a problem with all ROMs?

Otherwise, amazing work... can't believe there is still support for this dead/dying tablet.
[TouchPad Development] cdzo72:
You may try doing the extreme wipes which is running AcmeUninstaller and then webosdoctor. That way you get a squeaky clean system... I was plagued by reboots and freezes and force closes for several weeks until I took the plunge and dad all that... now all is smooth
[TouchPad Development] pocketrussian:
I have experienced the same thing after reformatiing all partitions with AcmeUninstaller followed by AcmeInstaller3 (to create a larger system partiion in anticipation for CM10). I've only experienced one spontaneous reboot after that in more than a week, while I was getting them daily.
[TouchPad Development] gnuts:

So i was experiencing random reboots ALOT i had gotten my device already rooted and had cm7 on it i had updated to cm9 and reboots like crazy it was quite annoying. I followed your advice i restored it to stock with acmeuninstaller and webos doctor and clean flashed the rom, man what a difference thanks for hte info!
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
Woah, SGA - I don't know what you did to the kernel between the 11/11 & 11/12 builds, but whatever it was, my Touchpad seems to respond very nicely to it. I can overclock the processor past 1512 Mhz on Bard's Tale w/o crashing or RR. I was taking baby steps, so I'm currently OC'd @ 1.9 Ghz. I'm going to test my limits..... :eek:

Amazing work, SGA.
[TouchPad Development] jojojojojojojojo:
Hi,

just a quick question inbetween.. A few day ago I installe TWRP. Fixing permissions should also work in this one I guess? Unfortunately I wount have my Touchpad with me for a few more days, so I cannot test right now..

Is there a preference for this ROM in terms of recovery? Should I maybe replace TWRP with CWM?

Thank you already in advance!

Johannes
[TouchPad Development] Stryeguy:
I have had nothing but success with TWRP & FnC - so, it comes down to personal preference.
