Hey,
I'm looking to install CM9 onto my touchpad, but I'm unsure as to which is the best revision to install - from having a browse on the forum the two contenders seem to be Unofficial ICS and ClassicNerd - which one is the best in general?
I'm also having trouble in finding a tutorial for a fresh install of any android build, would it be possible to link?
thanks in advance,
kev
Hello,
I'd choose the AOKP project. It's quite stable and pretty well done (besides the logo, oh dear..)
Cheers

So after loving my AOKP i777, I decided that I am going to try a custom ROM on my 8.9. I have already installed CWM and now I am trying to make a decision of what ROM to run. Should just go for HC with Overcome at the moment or go with AOKP which I am already familiar with my phone?
One question with AOKP, I was reading some issues with the most current release of it, is that a small margin of people with issues?

Make a backup and try yourself. ICS is certainly a lot faster then any HC rom. Only thing that doesn't work with ICS roms is the camera, so if you need the camera then your only choice is HC.
Hello Forum,
I am very new to rooting devices and installing custom ROMs.
I have a few questions I would like to ask, I searched the forum and couldn't find appropriate answers.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399 (This being one of the threads)
I was going through the sticky thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789397
Which says, "WARNING: Do NOT use CM9, Asylum CM9 or AniDroid kernels as drivers on ANY CM10 based Rom - and vice-versa!"
I had recently flashed CM9.1 on my galaxy note GT-N7000, by following the instructions mentioned on their wiki page.
Just installed clock work recovery, entered the recovery mode, did a WIPE & installed CM9.1 & google apps.
After a few days I followed the same procedure and flashed CM10's latest preview. It went well and everything seems to be working, except that
the phone is a tad bit laggy and doesn't really deliver what JB is supposed to deliver. Sometime the power button won't wake the screen up.
This can be because CM10 is still in preview stage and the stable release is not out. But now that thread I mentioned before kind of bothers me.
Do I need to update the kernel while switching from CM9 to CM10? Downloads are available in the same thread. Or does the kernel update on its own while flashing CM10? And if I have to update the kernel do I need to have CF-Root? Does the fact that I have clock work recovery on my device mean that I have CF-Root?
Sorry if my question is too noob-ish, I just wan't to know a little theory behind what I'm doing so I don't screw my device. None of the threads that I found in the search explain things simply. I would be really glad if anyone of you could help me just understand things. I really appreciate this community for having put up so much information, thanks in advance!
I have a touch pad with current version of WebOS and would like to install Android for the first time on it. I know I am late to the game.
I was looking here and found a tutorial, but it has bad links for the required files. With all the ROMs, tutorials around here and the dying links, can someone share link to a tutorial that is current and the required files still present for installing a stable version of Android. ICS or Jellybean preferred, if that can run stable, otherwise, I would consider going older. I am already familiar with Android, having a rooting Android phone, but somewhat overwhelmed about which information here I should pay attention to, versus what is obsolete.
Thanks
I found this tutorial with what appears to be complete set of required files
http://michaelkizer.com/Blog/tabid/...86/Installing-Android-on-the-HP-Touchpad.aspx
This is from September. Should I still be using this version of CM9, or is there a more recent one that would be better.
The tutorial says CM9 seems to be the most mature and well supported version. Should I expect all hardware on my touchpad including the camera to be working with this?
Should I use the google apps bundle from April he supplies, or another one?
Thanks
CM9 is now pretty solid and very usable everyday. I think all the main hardware works with the latest (camera has had a lot of ongoing work and may not be perfect, plus I am not sure about accelerometer / compass type inputs). CM9 should use the 29 April Gapps.
I just used this one yesterday; it updates often: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31548-ho...-with-sound-camera-microphone-updated-121712/.
Is the file cm-9-20120916-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip mentioned in the tutorial still the latest stable CM9, or which version of CM9 should I use?
Can anyone else comment on the extent the hardware support issues were resolved on CM9? I would like all hardware to be working, including camera, accelerometer, compass, etc for access by Android apps, if possible.

Looks like this CM10 is still too experimental, saying not to let the battery run out and that it would brick the device. My understanding is CM9 would be safer to use, and it is still at least Ice Cream Sandwich.
It has instructions for CM9 too. In short, just replace one file.
jssullins cm 10 (look at the p0articipation #'s)
I would go with jsSullins cm10. procedure is on first page including links to relevant files.
Hi all,
I am looking for a good and stable ROM for my GT-I9001. Yes, the list of available ROMs has been provided as a sticky thread in the forum, and a list of available ROMs is also provided in the Wiki for the phone too, but there are so many ROMs... it's very difficult to decide, specially when I am a newbie.
Also, am a total newbie in this area. I have just been using the phone as it is, with the stock ROM for over an year. I haven't even rooted the phone yet. But now, am willing to root the phone, and even thinking about installing a custom ROM.
So, please suggest some good and stable ROM(s) for the phone, preferably with latest Android, like JellyBean, or even ICS. Stability and efficiency is the key for me, because I am not too keen on changing ROMs regularly, unless I being to enjoy experimenting and playing around with the phone .
I was happy with the stock ROM until now, but recently, I encountered a problem with the Play Store, and thinking it was a problem with the phone, I reset it to factory settings. Now, am unable to upgrade the firmware through Kies because of some unknown error. Someone on this forum suggested flashing via Odin... so, I thought that if I have to flash it via Odin, and get dirty, then why not root it, and try some custom ROMs.
Am a bit nervous with all these processes as they are new to me, and also, if my phone gets bricked, I can't afford a new one . Still, atleast the rooting process looks easy to me. Rest, I will and try.
I am fairly experienced with computers and Windows, but Android and phones are a new area for me. But, I can pick up easily, just have to try. Can play around.
Any suggestions for a good stable ROM will be appreciated . Thanks.
No reply yet. Can other fellow I9001 users help me out there please? Share their experience with different ROMs, or just direct me towards a nice stable one.
Looking for the same...
Hi.
I'm also looking for same answers. Haven't tried any ROM yet but looking for a fast and stable one. Hoping for replies soon.
The CM10 port by ivendor (here) is very stable and feature-complete as far as I'm aware (except video-out, which doesn't exist on custom roms).
There is also a CM10.1 port by Xistance (here) of which there are a number of positive comments on the forums lately. However, this isn't something I've tried myself and I actually wouldn't really recommend it as very stable (there are a few things still missing and/or not working properly, such as bluetooth).
Next worth mentioning is arco's CM9 (here) which is pretty much rock solid (RC3 that is) but suffers from SOD (screen of death) issues since RC4 so I don't recommend RC4, RC5 or RC6. Although I very much enjoyed using CM9 for months I would recommend CM10 now though, it's equally stable and performs better (in my experience).
There are also a number of ROMs that are based on another ROM (usually one of those I already mentioned). They're usually comparable to their "unmodified" variant so you can just experiment with that.
Those are the ones I'd personally recommend but everyone has their own opinion on this kind of thing.
Thanks a lot for your reply Marshian, much appreciated . I think I will go for CM10. Will keep an eye on development of CM10.1.
Rooted my phone today.. yippie .
Will now read about how to flash ROMs, and then go for CM10.
I see alot of Tocuhpad Dev threads and I just pulled my TP out of storage.
Its running Cyanogen Mod 4.0.4 (System settings says Cyanogen Mod Version 9-20120930 Nightly tenderloin)
Build date Sun Sept 30th 2012
I have CWM-based Recovery v5.0.2.6
moboot 0.3.5
As you can see its very outdated.
What should I be running now if I am looking for daily reliability with most features working? Thanks for your input (If there is a newer guide I can follow to update from my current version to a new one please post it, thank you)
I would suggest that you read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147284.
It is an excellent guide with video tutorials if necessary. Roland has also posted an additional guide of the newer more experimental Roms also in Touchpad Development forum.
Hopefully they will help you make a decision based on what you need to use your tablet for ie Bluetooth/gaming etc.
Have fun there have been lots of improvements since you last used it.

Where do you even start on that thread, there is about 100 links and 15 videos posted?

Just read the first page, then try a couple of different ROMs at the very least you can see all the different variations available and the requirements needed to install them(Partition size.
If you then have a specific question having tried the above it will probably be a lot easier to help you.
Personally, I would go with milaq's last Jelly Bean 4.2.2 rom cm10.1
The next step is 4.3 - read need for resizing of /system, and/or /data partitions - or 4.4 (Kitkat), which is still very much experimental/developmental.
Milaq's 10.1 Jelly Bean roms are very stable and good for daily use.
Just my opinion!
Peace
Thanks, I actually went the opposite way and did the test version of 4.4 to see how it is
It appears you are already partitioned to run the newest ROMs, but if you or others want to try at least a 10.1 ROM (Android 4.2.2) without having to increase partition size, OaT's Light n Tasty (LnT) is very stable and except for the lack of bluetooth plaguing a number of the post-CM9 ROMs the ROM is very solid. He somehow lightens the ROM and the GAPPs so it runs in the pre-CM10 partitions. I am leery of going all the way back to webOS, removing Android, doctoring and changing partitions, and then starting over. At some point I am sure I will, especially if a really solid KitKat ROM is released with bluetooth.
Many people have stayed on CM9 btw, as they find CM9 the most dependable.
Here's a link to the XDA discussion on OaT LnT. Note his OP has an older version of his ROM... if you scroll towards the end he includes a link to an October 8 version he has been using recently. Make sure to also use the GAPPs he includes in the OP, since it is lightened as well. He leaves off a few things... like calendar and browser, since so many people can and do use ones downloaded from Play Store (is. I use aCalendar and Next browser).

CM 10.1 (JB 4.2.2) doesn't require repatitioning, its the newer 10.2/4.3 and Kitkat 4.4 that require/advise a larger /system partition.
I actually went back to ICS from 10.1 thinking it had been better, but tbh the experience wasn't what I remembered and I very quickly went back to 10.1 (via Kitkat, briefly, but too buggy for me atm). Battery life, responsiveness and stability were all better, for me, with 10.1 (spceifically milaq's roms).
Having said that, its worth giving yourself a bigger /system partition - 5 or 600mb - and trying out the latest kitkat builds, there's lots of promise there!
I will definitely be going back once certain bugs and issues are ironed out...
Peace
