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.

Anyone still updating their Touchpads?

Squeeonline · 09-01-2013 2:26pm

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.

There's also a 4.2.1 early beta http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472892

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.

Folks - Has anyone else experienced serious battery issues with CM9 Alpha ?

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.

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).
