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

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!
Dear community sweet community of knowers-all
Which is the stablest nightly of them all?
I should just grab newest?
Sent from my windows phone while driving to pick up my touchpad:-D
Im using aokp milestone 5. I like it! In terms of stability all the recents rom are pretty much the same. Some just have more features.
Newest. They have all been stable.
~E.R.A.
I was running AOKP M4 for a while and it was pretty decent... upgraded to M5 and had some issues.
Switched to the latest nightly of CM9 (0430-nightly)... and love it! Best wifi experience with an ICS rom yet and performance is top notch...
i done screwed up
guys,
I think i've been following the guide to a T, aside from using a nightly .zip instead of the alpha they mention, . .. butt ...
After it's all done I see Moboot. I ask to boot cyognemod and it shows cyogenmod logo for about a minute then it just reboots and goes into the Moboot again.
Have I missed a step?
I have tried and checksummed (before running the script) both 28 and 30 CM9 nightlies, the latest ones. Everything looked fine until I tried to turn it on after the script finished.
Any ideas?
*EDIT I need to read more, and discover ACMEInstaller2
p.s. cwm works, yay.
Thanks for your help!
Yaaay!
ACMEInstaller2 was the culprit. I hope the guide is updated somehow to mention that if you're trying cm9 that you should use the different script.
yaay thanks for the advices. it's nice to know they don't release nightlies that would have regressed a previous version!
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!

this worked for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
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.
So after almost month using CM9 and before that CM10.1 by Bleached before 3 days I got back on KitKat ROM's.
And now here is problem which I discovered still in February with CM11 by The Whisp and now on OmniROM.
Problem is that I can run Instagram, BUT - when I try to post image app stops working and nothing helps and only battery pull out works. On any other ROM (like CM10.1 BLeached, CM9 any build, older CM10.x builds) it works great, but on any KitKat ROM it crashes (Ican't get any logcat coz phone totaly breaks).
Any help should be great
EDIT: All problems are gone away now... Instagram account is deleted and now I'm gonna use Pinterest with Pixlrmatic for picture editing. Either way if somebody knows how to fix this or maybe get any kind of logcat to make this app working on KitKat based ROMs with 3.4 kernel
Just a update: with CM11 build 08032014 and everything newer Instagram works again. Hopefully that was some Instagram issues, not ROM based as far I hope so.
Hello guys
In these days I'm looking a ROM for my nerfed beast (GT-S5830).
Well.. I've the stock FW right now 'cause in the past, using modded ROM, my cooper used to discharge its battery in just 10 minutes (from 100% to 10%).
Now I guess that something is changed and I need a new ROM for my ace!.
So, guys, What are you waiting for?
Tell me all your ROMs you will tip for this my odd phone.. and just remember this.: I need a ROM that supports FLAC music files and that could work nice using the PurePerformances mod.
Cm9 or cm11
I also have a SGA and i am using it with CM9 by wayland ace
Click RC4.1 in downloads section.
But using Mardon's CM11 is also good but more bugs
If you use Mardon's CM11, then flash his GPS Fix as well as Video Recording Fix
I say you should try CM11 by Mardon
Well FLAC music files...
Android does support them in CM9.
Check this link:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html]Supported Android Media Formats
You can also try Mardon's CM11(Android 4.4)
I cannot gurantee bugless ROM.
NOTE: YOU NEED MARDON'S CWM 6.0.5.3_1 TO FLASH CM11.
SGA ROMS always had FM Radio and Video Recording problems.
Download Spirit1 FM coz it works.
I recommend L Speed[ROOT]. It has more tweaks plus an nice interface
I recommend Nandroid backup through CWM 6.0.5.3_1 of the previous OS in case things go wrong
If things are right then plz post that

It is a battery calibration problem, even my SGA has it.
My logic is charge it for about 2 hours and then you can get 2 hours with full charge.
DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED BY THE PERCENTAGE SHOWN IN BATTERY.
Do not update google apps to latest they need google play services
You would not have enogh RAM left.
All i have on my phone is Whatsapp, hike and FB Lite.:good:
Best of Luck!!!!!!!!!!
