[Q] How to install Google Now on HP Touchpad with CM9 Nightly - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi my HP Touchpad is running on the latest CM9 nightlies from CyanogenMod, and I was wondering if I can get Google Now on my Touchpad. I've seen Reverndkjr's video and have read other people's fails in attempting to install or getting Google Now to work on CM9 builds. Those comments were a long time ago and I'm wondering if there's a new stable version of Google Now for the CM9 builds. P.S. I don't want to install CM10 just to get google now. Thanks in advance!

I used the M7_Offline.zip
I should note that the mic does not work for me. I am on jcsullin's 20130318 CM9 test build.

[Q] Cyanogenmod most stable nightly?

Hi all,
I am still running stock 2.3.6 but I am thinking about unlocking my phone to run CM. Anyway, I have been browsing through the dev CM7 thread and found that there are a lot of random reboots, lockups and other problems in the 7.1 stable release. I am thinking that installing the an older nightly perhaps would give me a better experience. Which nightly would you recommend?
Thanks.
I think its not good to stay on
a single nightly because there are few tweaks with every new nighty which makes it better from last one.
Anyway I recommend you to try cm7.1 rc1 before trying nightlies
For some time.

On my N1 Cm 7.1 is stable to but playing videos in flash full screen causes so many lock ups, i hope cyanogen would release a minor update for it

I'm one latest nightly, build 227. Very good and stable for me.
Just make sure you do a clean wipe including system partition
when coming from a different ROM.
Thanks guys! Do you know of a bug tracking page that lists all the bugs that CM7.1 currently has?
Thanks.
Not a bug tracker, but I find this page very useful and visit it daily to see if I want to upgrade to the latest nightly or not: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=passion
Looks like the latest nightly is marked as 7.1.0.1... #227 as baseballfanz said. Maybe that will fix the problems you mentioned... however, I will note that I've been running 7.1 stable since the day it was released (nightlies before that) and have had zero problems at all. No lockups, no reboots, no problems at all no matter what I do with it...
7.1.0.1 is a maintenance release for a few devices. The N1 was not included in this list. And most of the reboots and instability issues with the stable release are resolved when people perform full wipes of the phone. It has been rock solid for me.
Thanks guys... I have installed CM71 Nightly 231 last night. It was going smooth at the beginning but I got stuck on flashing Amon_Ra recovery. For some reason my phone wasn't taking the CM themed version but the original version installed fine.
First problem after flashing the ROM and gapps was Market wasn't downloading apps for some reason. I think it was because the phone was reinstalling all the apps at the same time and it just couldn't handle the load. I had to install the apps one after another and that got through it.
The phone rebooted itself when I played a video for the first time, but it's been working rock solid so far. Now I'll have to figure out how to use S2E!
Thanks!

Cyanogenmod runs on Gingerbread, so saying its better is a contradiction.
If you let us know what problems you had in the stable version we may be able to help. That being said, the latest nightly IMO seems more fat and just as stable as the latest "stable" edition.
thanks riso
i mean the last version of gingerbread
i post the problems in forums and i see many thread speak about other problems
i hope cyanogen team fix all problems
If you are not happy with the stable then you could update to a nightly and once you find one that works for you, stick with it. Nightlies are designed for people who want to test the ROM to help developers so updating regularly is not a good idea if you just want something that works.

thank you chrono
ok i wait
Nightlies arent always unstable, most of the latest nightlies are great.
It isnt required to update every day, you can just update to the latest nightlies every week if you want to.

Nightly v.s.
I have read that snapshot is the stable version and nightly the more testing version. I originally tried to flash a snapshot version but had absolutely no luck getting it to work. It was around 150mb. I then found a nightly version and tried it on my samsung sgh-i747m s3. It was closer to 300mb and it worked just fine to install and run. It was my first time trying anything like this and I quite probably did it all wrong but like I said... no go for the snapshot but great success for the nightly. Cyanogenmod 11.
What I wonder is, I have seen some images of Cyanogenmod 11 having a full screen size keypad for dialing phone numbers and the one I have is only a half screen version. Is that because of my phone or the mod version or a theme? I have tried many themes that also show a full screen keypad but mine stays half screen and changes color. Anyone know?

Whats about CyanogenMod 10.1

I want not talk to much
Just want to create a topic where people can write their news about CM 10.1
I think such a thread could be interesting for people that heard from Android 4.2 - Jelly Bean
So let's start the topic
You can download the last UNOFFICIAL build of CM10.1 for SGS i9000 from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013707
THIS BUILD NOT WORK PERFECT! - (26.11.12)
For most of us, simply flashing the 4.2 Gapps package is good enough already.

Maybe for you
Lots of people have been waiting for CM10.1
I installed that rom yesterday (and today i installed the new build) and it seems to work fine.
Except for me the swype-like keyboard isn't working, does anyone know where i can find known issues or bug reports for this rom?

[Q] Looking for final official release of CyanogenMod 7.2

Hey guys, I did some searching around but haven't been able to locate a download location yet. I just got my brother's Nexus one (I've been a Blackberry user, blah) and as I understand, 7.2 (.0) was the last stable and official version of CM7.
Can anyone link me to download this? (or if there's a newer official version, not nightly, then that would be great)
Thanks
Stable, nightly
Damn, thanks a lot tommer. I don't know why I didn't see "passion" on the left side when I was on that page!

[Q] Updating to cm10, flash video question

Hey all, I've been out of the touchpad dev loop for about 6 months. I am currently on cm9 alpha 2. I really don't have any problems with it at all, except for the camera/mic, which I don't use skype often, but it would be nice for it to work without having to switch to webos. I also am interested in the low battery drain of cm10, especially in sleep mode. This is the only other thing I don't like about cm9.
I see that cm10 development has been improved, however I also see that flash video isn't officially supported with JB. Can anyone confirm a cm10 rom with flash video in the browser working? I use a flash encoder to stream tv from my house to my tablet, and I use it every day at work, so it's important that flash in the browser works without a hitch. I see you can workaround with Dolphin, however I've tried Dolphin with cm9, and the flash is very low quality, almost unwatchable to me.
If anyone doesn't think cm10 flash is stable enough, can anyone recommend a better cm9 rom with the cam/mic working? I know there is a cm9 nightly thread, but I am hesitant to flash a nightly and develop more problems. I tend to only flash a new rom on my tablet and phone every 6 months or so; I really don't have the time to test out nightly builds.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
I personally had cm9 nightlies installed on my touchpad without a problem. Camera was working, and i believe the mic is as well. You can always create a nandroid backup and try out the nightlies yourself with minimal risk.
I also just installed cm10 and flash video is working in dolphin for me, looks fine but i'm not trying to stream anything high quality.
If you don't want to flash anything new for a while I would stick with the cm9 nightlies. The last nightly i installed was on there for months with no issues. The first post in the stickied thread about nightlies on rootzwiki hasn't been updated in a year so don't mind the statement about the camera not working.
let me know if you have any further questions
