[TouchPad Development] nevertells2:
Just a few observations, the WiFi region codes have not stuck since the first CM10 the best I can remember. This is not even available on non-rooted my Samsung GS3 or Asus Infinity. Wonder if it works on rooted ones? I don't believe CM9 or 7 even had that feature.

What are UI sounds?

I don't believe WiFi turning off when one suspends(turns off) the screen is a bug. WiFi optimization is a feature added by the CM guys as a power saving feature. That is why unchecking WiFi optimization corrects the issue, ie. turns off the power saving feature.

I think I read over on Evervolv's thread that he finally got a working Rom that fixed the "buzzing noise audio on suspend ".

Why are you pushing this emulated SD card that requires all this repartitioning and using the datamedia CWM instead of doing it the traditional way it's been done over all the previous versions of CM on the TouchPad? I remember you doing a poll and best I remember, you did not get that much interest in the idea. You might want to consider a traditional build that does not require all the "hoop jumping" to get it installed and save all the fancy stuff for the more technically adept.

It's your Rom and you do it the way you want. But I suspect that you won't get the same interest from the average users with all this technical stuff that has to be done to get it working. I'm also with Roland on his idea for a new ACMEInstaller4 to set the /system partition to the correct size. And just a reminder, sometime in the not too distant future, HP is going to take down the WebOS servers, so unless one is prepared for that eventually, installing Preware and Tailor may not be possible unless one already has it installed or has prepared for life after HP support.

I also seem to remember reading somewhere, either on Evervolv's thread or on Rootzwiki that unless a newer 3.XXX kernel gets finished, that JB 4.3 on the TouchPad may not be completely feasible for various reasons.

Update: Found the post from Dr. Marble:

" I admit that I am not convinced it is worth running cm10.2. It is fun to make it work but I don't really see any advantages over 10.1 for what I do. Our kernel doesn't support fstrim. I don't use or really understand selinux. The sound is still flakey. I will keep working on it but I really think we are maxed out at cm10.1"

Maybe getting BT working on the CM10.1 nightlys and squashing any remaining bugs would be a more fruitful endeavour.

You know the work you guys do is awesome. What you have managed to get running on our lowly HP TouchPad rivals many other dedicated Android tablets in speed and stability. I recently purchased an Asus TF700T Infinity, OTA'ed it to Android 4.2.1(the latest update from Asus) and have been comparing various apps and functions side by side with my TouchPads, yes I have two. And I can honestly say that the Infinity is only marginally faster in certain areas and the TouchPads keep up with it nicely in most others. The only advantages I have with the Infinity is a new device, quad core processor, 12 core video and for now a warranty. I'm not going to unlock or root it for now.

With all that said, we may finally be seeing the sunset of our orphaned device. It's two and one half years old, we don't know how much longer the batteries in them are going to last, they have to be getting worn out. They are a pain it the ass to change. No one seems to be able to get a newer kernel built for it. The A6 firmware and bricking issues are always lurking to jump up and bite when least expected. Of those users that are still hanging on, many are not happy unless there is some kind of bleeding edge development going on and when there isn't, they start whining about ETA's. How much longer can you keep the hounds from nipping at your heels, or even want to?

I hope none of you take this as a negative statement or a big whine. I think I am just stating the obvious. Technology and innovation moves on and the TouchPad is not going to be able to keep up much longer. My hedge against that is my recent purchase of the TF700. I may even eventually sell my TouchPads before they are unsellable, ie. dead battery or something else going wrong. Who knows, they may last a couple of years, or only to next week.

Comments invited, flaming is not.

Did you resize your partitions using Tailor?
