How can I root the touchpad? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to overclock the TP, sometimes I feel it lags a little.
To overclock the cpu I need to root it first right?
I'm on CM12 5.1.1 over J's last snapshot version.

Is it me or does everything loads slow?

Okay so I updated to the lastest JCsullin cm12. It runs fine and all but sometimes it seems to be slow/lagged.
Also when I was using the touchpad in the office it was fine but when I took it home and connected to the
wifi it was super super slow or didn't even work. I read somewhere that making some adjustment to the
to the wifi connect box that changed DCPH to static etc and it worked, I got internet working but it is still
rather slow loading pages/video compare to my stock Samsung Note2. Am I missing something or is there a
way I improve the speed/lag?

[Q] Verizon Galaxy Tab/Flashing a ROM

Hi, i have a Verizon Galaxy tab. I was interested in flashing a new ROM. Does anyone know if the tab has a Sim card? and which is a good ROM? Has anyone successfully flashed a ROM where everything worked? I use my tab in the car and need 3g, gps etc. But im itching to flash a kernel and a new ROM. Anyone have any advise? looks like most of them are for GSM and not CDMA. Please Help!
The Verizon (and Sprint) SGT does not have a SIM card as they are CDMA devices.
There is a small handful of ROMs available however at first it was pain getting started flashing the CDMA SGTs I've messed with.
Personally, I like oldmacnut's ROMs.
However, I'm currently running KhasMek's kernel and the stock ROM (just until oldmacnut finishes his GB port) - Also, running LauncherPro to hide that awful touchwiz interface and Dolphin Browser HD (for better browsing) - This has made the SGT loads better for me.
My advise to anyone looking to flash ROMs (even as unlikely as it is) if you're note 100% okay with the possibility of a brick, then don't flash. Personally, I've never encountered a bad flash I couldn't recover, but your milage may vary.
Thanks Addictive,
I am also waiting for stable GB roms for my VZ Tab. But I need to flash a nice kernel and a ROM. Even though the rooted tab runs nice with some tweaks......such as launcher Pro. I never used Dolphin HD. Ive always used Miren Browser since its lightweight and real quick for me BUT i will def give Dolphin a try. I might follow your footsteps and flash KhasMek's kernel and wait for Gingy. Have you noticed any significant differences as far as performance with this kernel?
The kernel is a touch buggy, but for me the performance boost was worth it. Lagfix, ext4 conversion and over clock were too good to pass up.
Using SetCPU to bump up on demand to 1.4GHz helps a bit when I push the tab (google music streaming in the background, navigation running in the background, bluetooth paired to car for audio, a friend browsing the web .... simultaneously) - Doing that stock made it angry, audio would skip and UI would lag, now its nearly perfect.
Also, I use Refresh for Android to reboot the tab automatically at 4:30 AM everyday. This alone has helped with stability/performance. Recently though, it has stopped automatically rebooting the SGT. I got the app because I was too lazy to setup a cron job to do it for me heh.
Hmmm well I have the ext 4 conversion (using OCLF) and that definitely made it much snappier but mine is running stock as far as cpu goes. I haven't experimented with overclocking...not sure if I want to risk damaging mine. But it did spike my interest since I have the same setup and have a car mount for mine. So I stream music and goole map it along with other goodies (like trapster) and sometimes it stutters. Would be cool to see how much faster it would go. And yeah rebooting always helps lol so I might flash that kernel friday. Have you tried any other ones?

dammit! wish my tablet was working I wanna see if wifi is working now!
Please Delete.
downloading....
Good news! I was having freeze problems with the first ICS update, I installed that... and all gone! Now I have a really nice tablet (only that 512Mb )
Thanks for the info!
Does update increase stability and reduce freezes, resets?
I installed the original version (4.0.4) and went over all the hurdles, reformat, install, slim down app library, turn off wifi, root and install memory management programs etc, with minimal success. The tablet was still not usably stable. Some would run for awhile ok but web browsing did not work at all. Even pdf reading caused soft reboots in different apps.
I downgraded to 3.2.80 and everything works fine again.
Does this version 4.0.5 fix those problems or is it still much less stable than honeycomb?
I am growing tired of all this upgrading and downgrading.
Thanks
Yes !
Doublepost because internet connection timeout
Please delete it
Thanks
Yes !
Yes -
But i think you must test it on your own network and router and such stuff.
For me:
on 4.0.4 wifi had massive problems with my o2 surfstation,
but now with 4.0.5 all problems gone.
For me its the best firmware.
Greeting
P.S you can test it unrooted and if its good then root it.
You can take Surdu_Petrus rooted firmware therefore, or his new custom rom which is based on original archos firmware 4.0.5 and which has lots of improvements.

Still unstable
The whole 4.0.5 is still unstable for me. My router is an airport express but even with others (no idea who makes them) it is problematic. A weak signal seems to cause connects and disconnects which leads to many programs force closing (Amazon Kindle, Files, Browser, ...)
Taking the microsd out makes it quite a bit better but the card had no problems in 3.2.80
So maybe it would be stable without wifi/sd/many apps, but that's kind of the reason I got a tablet in the first place

Slow Wifi when using certain custom ROMS

Hello everyone, I'm having a weird problem which has been happening for quite a while now, basically stock ROM using speed-test app 20-30Mb/s download speed AWESOME
Now when using custom ROMS (So far Cyanogenmod and Viperone) my download speed is limited to 2Mb/s youtube stutters, pages load slow etc pretty much a pain since its a smart phone that uses a lot of internet, now it gets weirder, no matter what my download is locked to my upload speed always stays a nice healthy 10Mb/s, even weirder still is if I reboot the phone for the first 3-4 minutes of being back on download speed is back to normal (20-30Mb/s)
Even weirder still is when using Android Revolution HD (ARHD) my WiFi still works perfectly, so what ever ARHD and the stock from have in common my WiFi must agree with it! As far as troubleshooting I've done clean installs, I've even made my router run only in 2.4GHz
Someone please help I don't wanna be stuck on one custom ROM when there is so many to try
please provide some more details
which Android?
have you tried updating your firmware?
I always make sure I have the newest, happened with 4.2/4.3/4.4 base firmwares
have you tried unchecking "WiFi Optimization" in WiFi?

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I am experiencing similar issues, albeit with a different device (OnePlus 3).
Only the stock Oxygen Rom gives good Wifi tethering performance, but trying Cyanogenmod, Bliss, etc. all give the same 1-2Mbps speeds like you described.
Did you ever figure out the issue?
Are (were) you on T-Mobile US by chance?
TIA.

CM 10.1.3 Streaming Video Delay Issue

Hello,
Recently took the CM plunge with my Nook HD+
Love how the lag and general sluggishness is gone, however, I have noticed something regarding streaming video. I work with a sports stats company that requires live game statistics. I have been using my tablet mainly for streaming ESPN, Big Ten Network, Xfinity TV. Since I flashed and rooted, I have noticed a pretty substantial lag in the games (If I open the application from the iPad or computer, I am noticing anywhere from a minute to 3 minute delay). Normally, you would most likely tell me "who cares", but since a major portion of the job requires speed and timeliness, I have been struggling with this lag.
Would there be any settings out there to tweak? It's obviously not the router, since before I flashed CM, it was on par with the iPad and computer versions of the app.
Thanks to anyone out there with assistance. Love what you guys do for this place.

If you can really guarantee that its not something else then just go back to the official. Make a backup of cm first so you can go right back if you want or need to.

Slow loads times in chrome since update

Hey guys, I flashed the new MRA48K build from the Google developers website, everything is working great! However is seems like web pages in chrome now load much slower when connected to my 2.4Ghz band. It seems a bit faster when connected to a 5Ghz network (I have a dual band router) and I was wondering if anyone else was noticing the slower load times since the update. Before this update the load times using my 2.4 Ghz band were really really good, now they're a bit slow. Anyone else?
EDIT: It seems to have fixed itself, it may have just been because I had just flashed this stock image and everything was still getting situated. Disregard this post.

I've been noticing the same thing. Not sure if yours is really "fixed" or you may just not be aware of it anymore.
Noticing the same here too. Tried all the usual WiFi setting toggles, including new location toggle, as well as wiping cache and wiping to factory. This is all after fully wiping then installing with factory images. I had the same issue on preview 3, and decided about a week before final came out to downgetback to L because the phone was practically unusable on WiFi. I'm at a complete loss here.

I would also like to note it's not just chrome. Happens with any network resource, such as sftp, ftp, smb, vpn, YouTube videos, play store installs. Anything that uses WiFi on my LAN or anyone else's.
It definitely was not fixed! Soon after I said "I think it's fixed", I realized that I was still having issues! I wonder what it could be. Someone in another thread told me that they changed a lot of the code in the radio this time for Android 6.0. So more than likely, the radio file just doesn't work as well as it did before! Someone had told me that you can flash the Android 5.1.1 radio file and it should work with Marshmallow because they are independent of the build you're running. I haven't tried it myself yet.
