Dirty flashing this ROM over CM9 may be OK for taking a quick look, but it is probably a bad idea when this moves to Alpha.

You should include a pointer to acmeinstaller3 in your initial post...
It is included in the Novacom Files.zip that you download and extract in step 2 of the OP.

Can someone upload the cm-10-20121108-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-FOR_LIMITED_TESTING_ONLY.zip file somewhere as it is taking hours to download using the OP's link even on a 28 Mbps connection (cable)?

Thanks
I downloaded thru GooManager - Browse all files | devs | jcsullins | cmtouchpad | preview. You can also get the lattest Gapps from devs | cdesai | gapps.

Running 11_8_12 version. Just some observations. Most run fines. Browser a bit slow. Kept getting trebuchet force closes when disabling persistent search bar. Also if anyone can help. There used to be a transition effect setting to alter the way then screen transitioned between home screens in settings/launcher/home screen. Don't see it. Visit somewhere else? Or not available in 4.1? Thanks.
I would guess that the transition effects has not been submitted yet and will be present when we get a Alpha build. If you really miss the effects you can use one of the Launchers from the Play Store, I personally use Nova.

The only thing I see that is weird, is when I scroll across my home/desktop/launch pages or whatever you call it, I don't get the cool animated page srolling like in your video. I have the regular plain old side-to-side scrolling like in CM9.
Currently Trebuchet does not support Transition Effects, you will need to use a different launcher to get the Transition Effects. I prefer Nova but there are several others in the Play Store.

Hi HP TouchPad fans.

I need your help! I have been testing some stuff and need some brave members to test out things too before I can add it to the OP. There are two important thing to test.

2) The running out of space issue with CM10. I believe I have located about 15MB of data we can safely delete. Android in space videos and Phone Ring tones are located @ system/media/videos & system/media/audio/ring tones. Please someone correct the path for the ring tones and the size of the free space freeded up. I was interrupted yesterday while working on this and didn't make a proper note of it, sorry for the inconvenience.
I have deleted the Ringtones and the four files in the Video folder.

Before the deletion System Storage was Total 402MB Free 53.56MB.
After the deletion System Storage was Total 402MB Free 69.45MB.

Hope this helps others, as you can see I am not really having any System Storage space issues.

so have not taken the plunge yet to cm10, but trying to learn. What are these files a function of?
From a few pages back, by deleting these unused video and ring tones you are able to get more free space in the system partition.

I have not seen it mentioned in this thread, but I have had a minor issue with WiFi going back to when I first installed Preview 2 and persisting thru Preview 3 and 4. My issue is when I change location WiFi will not connect to the new location and I need to turn off and on WiFi in order to connect. Never had this issue with CM9. Like I said a minor issue, just wanted to know if any one else is experiencing this.

I found that my wifi was not reconnecting if I went to an area without wifi and then came back home. Had to turn wifi off and then on to trick it into doing so. Since discovered that the wifi default had swapped to always on in settings. Changing this so it turns off when asleep and now reconnects with no problem. Could it be something similar for you? Found this with CM9 and changed it a long time ago and had since forgotten it. Must help the battery life too.
Thanks for the hint I will give that a try.

Worked like a charm, I set Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to Only when plugged in. When I got to work and woke up my TouchPad I had a connection, very nice. Thanks again for the tip.

I was having some issues with my wifi reconnecting between my two ap's. I was checking in the advanced options and noticed that the Wi-Fi region code was set to Europe. I changed to United States, but as soon as I backed out to the main Wi-Fi screen, the region was reset back to Europe. (checked after going back to advanced screen.) Can anyone confirm this happens to their Touchpad as well? Do you think that setting actually impacts Wi-Fi performance?

Thanks
Mine is set to Europe, however after setting Keep Wi-Fi on durring sleep to Only when plugged in (away from Always) my only issue with CM10 networking has gone away. I did try to change the region setting to US but it reverts to Europe like yours. I found this http://forum.xda-dev....php?p=21406675 if you feel a need to change it. It appears that the region setting determines what channels are available for use.

Definitely the DATE, not the TIME. TAP the notification section on the right hand bottom of status bar to raise the notifications menu, tap the DATE, UI failure, tap the time, the Alarms menu.
When I tap date Calendar opens, when I tap time Clock opens.

Roland,

I am using Preview 4 with the 10/11 gapps package. I also use Alarm Clock Plus and Google Calendar. If I hit the date area in the notification popup I get the Calendar. If I hit the time, I get a pop-up asking if I want to use ACP or the standard clock. If I choose ACP I am taken to the ACP alarm screen. If I choose the standard clock I get a failure and get sent back to my main desktop screen.

Mind you, this is so far the ONLY fault I can find with Preview4. Since I use ACP for all alarm functions, I didn't even know about the "bug" until this came up and I tested it.

John
That reminds me, I did not like the 4.2 Clock and am using Clock JB from the Play Store.

I see a couple times in the OP it says to not let it run out of batteries. I usually (accidentally) let mine run all the way down and I haven't been bricked. It does take about a half hour of charging before it's able to actually boot up though, and when it does it only has ~5%.

Anyways, does anyone know of any kernels with Fast Charge? My TP isn't pulling its 2 amps from my 2.1 amp charger, probably because it's not the original charger.
The only charger that will work properly with the TouchPad is the HP TouchPad charger, all others are wired to work with the iPad and will only trickle charge the TouchPad.

For some reason, when i view RD's original post with Tapatalk, I dont see anything (views in browser fine). I am able to view his post #4 with Tapatalk.

Anyone else?

Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk HD
That seems to be an on going problem with Tapatalk, I use to use it in webOS and had similar issues off and on. I am not sure if it is Tapatalk tweaking that breaks or various forums changing something that causes Tapatalk to break, it anoyed me enough that I never bothered with it for Android.
