[Release][Alpha0.6] CyanogenMod 9 Touchpad
*******************************************************************
* YOU SHOULD CONTRIBUTE INSTEAD OF KANGING EDITION *
*******************************************************************
Hi there, Internet! Remember us?
It's time once again for another ground-breaking, earth-shattering, mind-blowing release. We've got something super-special and creamy for y'all to taste.
If you thought CyanogenMod 7 was great, this alpha is *two* CyanogenMods better. That's right, introducing CyanogenMod 9 for Touchpad, Alpha 0! That's a "zero" as in "zero hardware-accelerated video", "zero camera", and "zero support!"
There's one other zero we'd like to mention. Zero reasons to not give you the source code. So, for the first time, we're making ALL the source for the HP Touchpad for CyanogenMod 9 available for you to build CyanogenMod 9 yourself from scratch.
Now that the source is open we would love to see fellow developers contribute bug fixes and improvements. This is something that does not happen enough in the Android world and we'd love to change that trend. Please feel free to contact us in #cyanogenmod-touchpad to get involved and to discuss current and future developments.
And... we're going to tell you how to build it yourself with an easy-to-follow walkthrough.
So here it is, Ice Cream Sandwich (CyanogenMod 9) for Touchpad!
But please, before you do anything, read this document in full. And have fun out there. Love one another.
Yours forever and ever and EVER,
The CyanogenMod Touchpad Team

Alpha0.6 Release notes:
Another minor release. While working on bigger problems that will take a while I wanted to push out an update for some things that have happened in the last few days. This is primarily to get Flemmard's work out for more testing. This contains the start of CyanogenMod settings. However, most of the settings are not functional on tablets yet.
With this release I will also provide two flashable zips to allow you to easily switch between lcd density 120 and 160. The default is still 160 because it offers the greatest compatibility. Any lcd density value between 160 and 120 will ruin market compatibility. For those that would like a "higher resolution" look and feel, you may flash the 120 lcd density update.zip. This will copy a new build.prop and will update the launcher for proper display. I strongly recommend changing the font size in Settings->System->Fonts if you chose to do this. The 160 lcd density update is provided to easily revert the change.
This is a minor release that bundles fixes that were previously a separate download and a few other things:
AND NOW, SOME STUFF...
(But first, here's a little disclaimer you should read several times before you continue.)
ALL DISCLAIMERS FROM CYANOGENMOD 7 ALPHA 1-3.5 APPLY EQUALLY TO THIS VERSION. BE SURE TO REVIEW THEM. THE USE OR ATTEMPTED USE OF CYANOGENMOD 9 ALPHA 0 MAY RESULT IN VERY BAD THINGS TO YOU, YOUR TOUCHPAD, YOUR DATA, YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND LOVED ONES. TRY CYANOGENMOD 9 ALPHA 0 ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK!
FORGET WHAT WORKS. WHAT *DOESN'T* WORK?
Yeah, let's focus on the negative. Some (but not all) things that DO NOT WORK:
Yes. And you can try it even without a wipe of /data. The key is to use ACMEInstaller2 (see link below) rather than the ClockWorkMod Recovery to do the installation. If you use the ClockWorkMod Recovery, you'll run into troubles, and though CyanogenMod 9 will install, you'll need to reset(format) your data.
Our testing has shown that ACMEInstaller2 will resolve the issues. Your results may vary, but it may be worth using it to upgrade. Especially since newer versions of Titanium backup will crash on start up.
The process for using ACMEInstaller2 is exactly the same as when you first installed CyanogenMod 7.
I'VE NOT INSTALLED ANY VERSION OF CYANOGENMOD BEFORE. HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Please read all previous instructions/documentations for CyanogenMod 7. Start with the instructions for Alpha 1, then 2, 3, and 3.5. This should bring you up to speed with how to install and what to expect.
ACMEInstaller2 is the latest version of the installer and will do it all for you. You will need the files at the end of this document:
ACMEInstaller2 and update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-alpha0-Touchpad-fullofbugs.zip and
ClockWorkMod Recovery
bootie (?)
CAN I MAKE A TRI-BOOT SYSTEM? (WebOS, CM7, and CM9)
Yes, but don't bother. There may be instructions forthcoming on this, but it's a bit advanced - just pick one.
WHO IS ON THE CYANOGENMOD TEAM ANYWAY?!
We are a shadowy, frequently-cloaked collective of extremely talented and dedicated individuals. We are legion. Expect us.
Oh, but seriously. You have Ice Cream Sandwich now, so does it matter? You can view some of the developers who are involved by simply glancing through the commit history in the device git repository, going all the way back to CyanogenMod 7. However, keep in mind that some code may have been written by one person, refined by others, and committed by yet another, generally with acknowledgement in the commit notes.
Really thought. It's about the work and the fun, not the credit.
SO WHERE CAN I GET SOURCE CODE?
The device repository is public with this alpha release and everybody can build their version now.

The 160 lcd density update is provided to easily revert the change.
- Touchscreen fixes
- Ability to hide the combined bar(navigation buttons and clock) for full screen. This uses the ICS api so it will require app support(not all apps have been updated). This is an option under Settings->[Interface]->System->Combined Bar (Credits to Flemmard)
- Scrollable quick settings. This will require tweaking later to allow it to be bigger on the Touchpad but fixes overflow issue on 7" tablets with the new Bluetooth toggle. (Credits to Flemmard)
- Reboot to recovery is working via the power menu(hold down power button). Note: reboot will sometimes shutdown rather than rebooting.
- Preliminary support for Rom Manager. In order to use this you will need Rom Manager Premium because it is not official yet. In order to use it you will need to execute "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" in Rom Manager. Confirm the model is cm_tenderloin, say yes that you have installed manually, and check ClockworkMod 3.x. Now you can use Rom Manager to flash update.zips. Official support should come soon.
- Other general changes from syncing with latest changes
This is a minor release that bundles fixes that were previously a separate download and a few other things:
- Fix kernel crash that happened most frequently with Titanium Backup but also many other apps(fix found by verygreen)
- Touchscreen fixes by Dees_Troy(helps with rapid distinct touches being interporated as a single motion)
- Fix graphics corruption that was happening in some games
- CM9 changes from Flemmard:
- CMStats added
- Browser: open link in incognito mode: http://review.cyanog...m/#change,11894
- Change needed for fsck replacement(was in alpha0 but wanted to make it explicit here until it is merged): http://review.cyanog...m/#change,11875
- Other general changes that were merged since alpha0
AND NOW, SOME STUFF...
(But first, here's a little disclaimer you should read several times before you continue.)

FORGET WHAT WORKS. WHAT *DOESN'T* WORK?
Yeah, let's focus on the negative. Some (but not all) things that DO NOT WORK:
- Hardware Video (OMX). As a result, Netflix does not work, YouTube works only only in non-HD videos. Use something like MXPlayer and SW codecs for your local media.
- Audio is a mess. The microphone does not work. Work on the current libaudio solution has halted because we will eventually switch to a CAF libaudio.
- Camera does not work. The only libcamera.so that we have is from froyo and its closed source. There is a wrapper for QCOM gingerbread libcamera libraries that could likely be used as a basis to get our camera working.
- Market filters prevent some apps from being installed (this can partly solved by switching back to standard DPI settings(120, 160, 240). The current build is using 160 which fixes the market but makes everything look ugly and low resolution.
- Titanium Backup crashes the kernel. There's an investigation in progress...There are reports that older versions do work.(Fixed alpha0.5)
- Most of the hardware problems from CM7 still exist in this CM9 alpha build.
- Gapps intended for CM7/Gingerbread will not work in CM9/ICS. If you choose to install GAPPS then you'll need to get an updated compilation
- USB file transfers use MTP or PTP in Ice Cream Sandwich and Honeycomb. Traditional storage mounting is not supported in the Touchpad build.
Yes. And you can try it even without a wipe of /data. The key is to use ACMEInstaller2 (see link below) rather than the ClockWorkMod Recovery to do the installation.

From the awk file in the zip:what does the gapps fixer *fix* exactly?
#!/system/xbin/awk -f
# Remove bad <shared-user> elements from packages.xml and let android regenerate
# Fixes problems with Google App signature
works:Just booted into CWR, did a backup and applied the charging fix that DerEineDa posted about above (fix is here - http://goo-inside.me...enderloin/alpha).
Applied fix, wiped cache/Dalvik "just in case" and rebooted and cache is being rebuilt now (Optimizing application x of y...).
Wanted to report that it at least does boot up fine, have to see if it affects charging rate. It has about 500 downloads already...so someone out there is using it, it appears.![]()
I've set the screen to stay on while charging and am at 62% now...gonna let it sit and see if the battery level increases or decreases, and how quickly it goes either way.
Numbers?It works![]()
I'm down 1% while TP is sitting idle w/screen on...have to see if that's just a short-term issue.
What did you do/what numbers do you have to confirm charging is fixed? Thanks...
Thanks for the screen cap - does look good, charge increasing while the screen is on...hopefully mine will settle in and do the same.works:
Thanks - that worked!To mount the sdcard
Settings > Storage > Menu Icon > USB computer connection
Enable Media device (MTP)
Haven't a chance to play a lot with this yet, but I like what I've seen so far! This thing just keeps gettin' better and better!!
If anyone else is having issues with the Email app, I wasn't able to clear data etc, so I had to go into accounts and delete the exchange account that carried over from the previous install. Was able to setup and it works perfect
Hey. Can someone help me with an idiots guide to ACMEInstaller 2. I think I'm doing it right but I keep getting the system cannot find the file specified.
I extracted the ACMEInstaller2 file to my desktop, and I'm typing "novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2" in the command prompt, and I keep getting that reply. I'm on Windows 7 btw.
Edit: Never mind, figured it out. Yay Dalingrin!!!

ACMEInstaller2 needs to be in the same directory as the novacom fileHey. Can someone help me with an idiots guide to ACMEInstaller 2. I think I'm doing it right but I keep getting the system cannot find the file specified.

for me it's in C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc
Installed without any problems with ACME2. Installed gapps for ICS v8 with CWM and everything seems to be working fine. So far it seems to be running better than Alpha 3.5 for me. I didn't use it for long but the battery seems to be draining at a "normal" rate. Thanks to everyone that is working on CM9!
Nice review!!! Would really be interesting to hear how you installed.For those who haven't bitten yet, I made a video review here
Clean, over CM7, used ACMEinstaller, or flashed with CWM, etc. thanks
Since this is now open source and I'm sure a lot of community users are working on it how will all the fixes + features be implemented? more frequent Alphas?
My battery continued to decline while the screen is on...started at 62%, now 60%. TP is idle (though I did just install circle battery widget) and has lost 2% while connected to charger. I was using the stock TP AC charger with a USB cable that I had available from my other devices.Thanks for the screen cap - does look good, charge increasing while the screen is on...hopefully mine will settle in and do the same.
Then I dug out the stock HP charger cable just to be sure I was using all HP-provided charging HW...and now the charge % did increase, to 61%, so looks like maybe the cable I was using wasn't as efficient as the HP/TP cable.
Glad you liked itNice review!!! Would really be interesting to hear how you installed.

Was running CM7, wiped system, data and cache, installed via the twrp recovery. Everything is running really well, there are issues with sound like in CM7, headphones don't work for me and of course video acceleration but this is very much a great step up from CM7.
That is the idea...more minds/hands = more/better fixes, possibly faster. Hopefully the developers who have been interested in this will throw their hats in the ring.Since this is now open source and I'm sure a lot of community users are working on it how will all the fixes + features be implemented? more frequent Alphas?
The microUSB lead cable (with silvery disc) supplied with TP is faulty by design, try another microUSB cable, could be that.thanks CM team for your hard work to bring to us the ICS![]()
I found that the ICS is not charging the tab when i am connected to the PC,but it charging from the adapter, when i plug the usb to the PC it show me the is charging in the notefication, but when i go to the batter setting is saying discharging.
and i feel its realy slow to charge.![]()
any one having a problem with charging ? can you guys charge the touchpad from the PC ?
How about posting the link to the gapps file you used. ThanksCM9 is AMAZING on the TP. Many many thanks.
Did full system/data/cache wipe and installed zip through CWM along with the SGS2 7.1 gapps, everything works: Market, PEAP/MSCHAPV2 wireless, Exchange sync (eMail, Calendar, Contacts/People - and the eMail trash finally syncs properly in ICS).
* Titanium Backup 4.0.2 trial version works for me restoring apps one at a time
* in stock browser, type about:debug for url, then settings -> debug lets you set desktop UA string (sorry if already mentioned)
* Cisco IPSEC VPN working:
- the /system/lib/modules/tun.ko is automatically loaded at startup, but I also see /dev/net/tun created with VPNC
- supposedly Cisco IPSEC VPN is natively supported in ICS, L2TP/IPSEC Xauth PSK should have worked for me but did not, annoyingly ICS is enforcing lockscreen PIN if VPN profile set up anyway
- get-a-robot VPNC will work if you delete the IP executable at /system/bin/ip (described here) and enforce use of /system/xbin/ip, but hangs and requires force close on disconnection
- VPNC Widget uses its own busybox and works perfectly, the notification icon is hideous but it is what I am using
Got everything I need right here with this CM9-Alpha0.
Congratulations to CM and many thanks again.
Anyone have any luck with getting ADB working? My windows 7 64bit machine does not recognize it while my macbook air does.
How?I looked over the different density levels of different tablets - other than iPad2 I couldn't find another with 132. Thrive, Transformer, etc are all at 149.
edit: I changed my density to 149 - overall looks better to me and I'm not seeing any issues with apps so far or market.
