Hey guys. I am totally new to this tablet so please bare with me
I have knowledge in flashing android stuff (I have a galaxy S and I reflashed it more times than I can count till I found an ICS version that suits me) so I know what I am dealing with, but just don't seem to get it.
Now I am at the stage of not seeing CyanogenMod in the moboot menu (followed this tut http://liliputing.com/2012/01/how-to-install-android-4-0-on-the-hp-touchpad-cyanogenmod-9-alpha.html ) but I will solve that tomorrow.
Until then, please tell me which ROM is the MOST STABLE and the SMOOTHEST available ( I don't have any preferences. May it be ICS, GB or whichever)
Thanks a bunch
I am also interested in this as I am getting quite bored with my TP on webOS...
the latest nightly of cm9 is your best bet.

Not to sound rude or anything, but there's a SEARCH function that works wonders on the section of HP Touchpad.
This question has been asked MANY, MANY times over, and each time people ask the same thing - which is best, which does THIS or THAT.
The only answer anyone can give you is pick one and try it. I suggest you start with the official CM9 nightlies, as they're the most recent and up-to-date. From there, try something else - AoKP perhaps, or CherryKANG, or even stick with WebOS (which is the smoothest and best-working of them all, just not Android).
So please, in the future, SEARCH before asking this oft-asked, always-answered-the-same question. Please. I beg of you.
I like webOS and in android the CM9 official nightlies. I used to use cherry Kang until the dev stopped updating it. The best os, in my opinion, is webOS. Battery life is much, much better than android. Unfortunately, there's not much selection for apps But for just Web browsing, email and music it's hard to beat. And Skype works fully.

Hi i just bought a new Hp touchpad.
I want to know what is the best rom for it.
I know that there are cyanogen 7 and 9 ports.
There are things that are not working on some of them , so if cynogen 7 is working and stable i think i would install that and wait for cyanogen 9 to become stable.
Can you give some advice , what to do , which rom shoud i install.
Thank you , and sorry if this is a noob question
CM9 alpha 2, its stable and actually running better than cm7
There are also several "kang" builds in the Dev section. I've been running CherryKang lately, with good results.
Thans guys , so have you had any problems with these roms?
Except the camera are there some other quirks?
And do you know how long is the period between releases ?
Thanks again

The cherryrom still doesn't have Netflix working but has HD YouTube working (it states that in his top post). The nightlies have everything working from alpha2 with only a couple changes that will be merged into the next official release anyways. The cornerstone ROM is really slow and bricked ROM hasn't seen public releases after alpha2. And there's protekk's AOKP and classnerd, neither have Netflix working either.
I say go for the nightly. And I guess development has slowed because everyone is waiting on dalingrin for new stuff. I'm guessing the kernel is going to be updated to 3.0 and or they're working on audio.

I honestly haven't tried Netflix (I guess it's not working), and only a few games. There are a few notable ones that don't work, but for normal stuff it's all good. The main problem that I've had with CM (I've only used CM9 and skipped CM7), is that the TP will essentially lock up, often times when charging on the touchstone charger. That said, ever since upgrading to the latest CherryKang (0.9), I haven't had a single issue (knock on wood). I have tried Bricked and the official CM9 alpha and both did the same thing, so I think it's just a Cm issue (there are a few similar issues going around, it seems).
Go for AOKP.
M4 has working netflix and youtube.
I personally haven't found a rock solid rom , but there are a few that are really close to it. I'd say try the new cherry-kang v9.2 with o/c , HD youtube' + netkflix etc. Syn(3.10.2012). Its fast and reliable. I have to reset my Wi-Fi the least with this one.
I'm running aokp and nextflix and YouTube work no problem for me

I'd have to agree with the above post, the latest CherryKang (standard cm9 version, not the bricked rom) has proven the most stable for me. Unless you expect to be using the camera/microphone a great deal on the TouchPad, I would definitely suggest taking the jump to CM9.
I did just flash the Cornerstone 1.1 rom w/ 120 DPI patch, and although there have been a couple of very minor glitches, it's performing fairly well so far. (I was forced to reboot my TP-audio distortion- and my wifi reconnected without me having to use the forget the network/reboot rescue method. I haven't personally tried the AOKP Milestone 4 rom, so you might want to check out that thread and decide for yourself.
As for your question on release dates, other than the nightlies, they come out whenever the developer has something new to put out. Since I've been following these forums, it's generally taboo to openly ask a developer for the next release date. Doing so may make you susceptible to verbal reprimand from other members. Personally I'm not blasting you, but I don't want to see someone else fire back at you in a more harsh manner in the future.
Good luck with whichever rom you decide to flash!

I've recently been running AOKP M4 with great results, I like it
CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 2 is also fantastic
I wouldn't really suggest any others though.
I have cm9 on mine and Wifi doesn't reconnect a lot after waking from sleep. Ill check out this cherry one I guess.

I'd vote for AOKP. Its running really well on my touchpad.
Hi Giveen,
first of all I must say I'm highly impressed with the progresses you made over the last months! I daily read your dev news on XDA and tabletroms. I'm no dev and honestly have no idea about all this stuff, but I could see how hard your way was so far. I know there were times you wanted to give up. But you didn't!! THANK YOU so much for all your efforts. You are definitly the DS7 hero!
Also I certainly want to say thanks to all the other guys that help(ed) to get our DS7 to jellybean. This old little tablet is far from being old and dead.:highfive:
But I want to ask two little questions:
1. My streak is actually running the HC 514 mod (rooted). To flash the CM10.1 beta, do I have to go back to 2.2 first? Would be no problem, wouldn't be the first time to flash back to go forward
2. I thougt I read somtime ago that there might never be a working camera on jellybean for our tablets because of missing drivers. Now I read in your thread, that you are working on camera, which sounds very promising in my ears. As I use my DS7 to skype with my family from time to time, I would kindly ask how you estimate the chances to get cams running?
Would be nice if you could take the time to answer my questions.
Thank you!
1. Flash the NVFlash pack and you will be fine.
2. No guarentees.
I would like to see the camera working as well. It's one of the things I use on any mobile device.
hi guys,
i know this question had been asked alot before, but since days is rolling over a new roms comes out with more stability.
so,
would you mind guys to refer us for the latest stable rom?
All the information you require is available in the developers section to READ about the different ROMs , you should really do this and try some as it really is subjective depending on your needs, gaming, camera etc .
Plus what is the best Rom threads are not allowed.
Try them out you will have fun and learn a lot.

I use / recommend jcsullins ' CM10 preview.
I'm still using CM9 nightlies. Very stable.

I am still using cm9 nightly. I tried cm10 in Dec and the online game I play "Tanked" crashed and the GPU got wacked. For me, the CM9...so far has been more stable.
Exactly what games are you playing on CM10....
"Tanked" is a great online game against the world and graphics and movements are very good. check it out....it's free!
Your best bet is to read the different threads and determine for yourself which ROM is the most stable for you/your device based on the apps you run, and your usage. The users in each thread will most certainly post what is working and what is not for them
Closed, try them and see
Got a quick question, I want to start over with he pad since my last install.
Which version however is the most stable, quickest with least battery drain?
At the moment I am running jscullins cm preview version, everything working as t should Ubuntu touch, will get rid of that, its fun but not stable, thanks for bringing ubunt touch to hp
Thanks for you input

Brave question to ask here. I wish you luck with the oncoming responses
I am personally enjoying cm10.1 ATM i recently upgraded from cm9 and although the differences are not huge, i do find cm10.1 to have much better battery life and is also running vey stable. Both have been JCs builds.
Personally, I had been running the jcsullins cm10 build for a long time (which was very stable and snappy) and just recently switched to the cm10.2 build. Results so far have been a-ok. The only "problem" I've had is bluetooth not working, but I guess that is a known issue we just have to wait for. At this point, I don't see myself going back unless something major pops up.
That is really subjective and changes from user to user.
You should try for yourself and find the one that suit you better.
Thank you and thread closed.
Hey all, I've been out of the Touchpad loop for about a year now. Currently running a CM rom (7 maybe?) that's on 4.0.1. I'd like to upgrade to a new rom. I don't have a lot of spare time to play around flashing different roms, so I would like to ask if anyone can give me some advice; and going through 20 some rom threads to read reviews is taking forever.
I would like to get the newest rom possible with the most things working. Number one priority for me is battery life, which from what I've been reading, that pretty much rules out 4.4 roms. So I assume I should look for a 4.2 rom? The other things that I would like is bluetooth for my keyboard, and hw video. Camera and mic would be a plus, but not 100% necessary. I'm sure you all are tired of these threads, but if anyone would like to help me out, I would greatly appreciate it.
Which ROM questions are generally discouraged on XDA forums. Avoids "mine is bigger" arguments and honestly what works best for one person and on one devices isn't the same as others. There are a number of great ROMs out for what is an abandoned product thanks to great developers. Best bet is to look at the Android developer subforum and read each ROM thread to learn about each ROM, any issues that existed or still exist, and different features. Also check on YouTube for videos of ROMs to see them in action. Also check Google+ since discussions also happen there.
Last, make sure to follow the developers directions completely. And try a few ROMs out... That way you can determine what really works best for you on your device. And... It's fun. Good luck!
