    hmmm might do a reinstall later.

    Anyone using nightly builds on this? Might start banging them every few days to see how things are progressing. My galaxy S2 is still my main Android anyway so I don't mind a few 'disruptions' on the pad

    Does anyone else's email force close when they open the app? I've had this problem since the pre-alpha. I'm sure if I installed a third party app it would help, but I haven't gotten around to it yet

    i had that happen with a few apps (I came CM7 3.5 to CM9 aplha 2)...

    Once I uninstalled the app and re-installed it was fine

    I wouldnt underestimate the nightlies, was having an awful lot of screen freezes etc on the alpha 2.0, upgraded to the latest nightly and it completely froze up all my gapps, after a gapp reinstall the t'pd is running very smoothly, no freezing, no wifi loss, all apps running well! Big improvements over the second alpha in terms of stability.

    Yup, these are the ones!! When ever i put one on it deletes my gapps may be worth keeping that in mind, just have the gapps zip on the sd card too and reinstall after you install the nightly. Im running one from about 2 weeks ago so cant speak for any builds after that

    Strange I haven't seen that happen as don't have to reinstall anything after installing the nightly. I just wipe cache & dalvik cache, then install the zip file & all the apps (gapps included) are as before.

    Yup, on this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026692

    but it doesn't update as frequently as CM9. It is 4.1 however, which is awesome. It was a little unstable at first, but a full wipe fixed all the problems.

    I've just installed but I don't have a status bar nor the soft buttons which means no back button. I tried setting the paranoid tablet mode but to no avail

    It's in the settings somewhere. You might have to change things to "tablet mode" rather than phone which is the default. I don't understand why tbh. a 10" tab is not even close to a phone in terms of useability.

    It did take me a bit to get the nav bar set up from what I remember. It is possible though. Consider doing a full wipe if you're having crashes or other problems and then flash again.

    Why doesn't the camera work on the HP Touchpad with Android installed on it?

    It's a driver issue. The ROM that I posted before has the camera working.

    I re-read the thread. It was in system settings. All working fine now and the touchpad is like it was natively designed for Android.

    Finally the camera works and the audio is great.

    I haven't updated in a while so not sure what I'm on but its definitely CM9 and battery can be pretty bad. I usually turn it off between usage to keep it alive.

    I'm thinking of updating so if anyone knows of a ROM with good battery life please let us know :-)

    These custom roms on the touchpad all have high standby battery usage compared to webOS and other android tablets.

    Yup.

    Installed CM10 last night though and battery had only dropped a few percentage points this morning after being left on overnight with wifi on. My last CM9 would have dropped a lot more. But that might be due to apps I had installed on it that I haven't yet reinstalled.

    Got this in the email today;
    webOS Cloud Services to end January 15, 2015
    Cloud services support for webOS devices will be ending on January 15, 2015. We appreciate our customer's loyalty the webOS platform.

    So... is CM10 for the Touchpad an offical port from the Cyanogenmod team, or is it an unoffical port from someone else?

    Unoffical I believe but why CM10? I've been using CM11 since it came out - this one to be exact.

    For a stable enough build. It'll be installed onto it, and left alone, as the family (all non-techies) will be using it to watch movies, etc (currently only works with headphones, as it's running an app to boost the volume a bit).
