Best\Most Stable Rom?

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.
Samsung Captivate CM9 - Glitch Kernel | HP TouchPad CM9 - Bricked Kernel

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.

[Q] Choice of ROM (stable, cam)

Hello,
I am running 9-20121118-NIGHTLY-tenderloin on my TP and am very satisfied with the stability of this ROM! (Camera not working)
I now bought a second TP which is supposed for my girlfriend's dad.
I am now looking for a ROM which is as stable as mine but has the camera fixed. I think CM10 is still too unstable/experimental, right?
Which CM9-ROM would you chose?
with kind regards
cosy

The camera fixes went into CM9 a week or so before Xmas and so your best bet would be the latest CM9 nightly.

As the poster above noted, the camera fix is now included with the CM9 nightlies. I use /recommend it.
If you want the camera for skype, it works much better in webOs.

Because the tablet was made for webos. That's why the battery works/lasts much longer in webOs. It's a great operating system (better than android and apple), but the lack of apps, among other things (HP's handling of it), make android so attractive. We have the best of both worlds. The only good dual booting tablet.......... :good:, as far as I know.

Jelly Bean all the way.
:good::good:
I went from CM7 to the flavours of Classic Nerd over the past year+. None of them come close to jcsullins + dorregaray, (cm-10-20121216-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-FOR_LIMITED_TESTING_ONLY_CAM with moboot 0.38, cm10-jcsullins-camera-config1and today cm10-gyroscope).
I have not had a single FC. Skype with video works. The camera works, Overclocking likewise.I now have it running on three machines in my family. Look at the number of posters to each of the dev streams and you will get an idea where the money is. I cannot understand why they keep calling it a pre-alpha. Seems to be ready for prime time and then some.
Adobe Flash may also work.

Best ROM for Google Hangouts

I am trying to find a stable TP Rom that will support video chat in Google hangouts. Any help or advice would be appreciated. I have tried CM9, 10, 10.1.
New to the HPTP.

Welcome to the TouchPad community, jerryatherton. I've been messing with TouchPads for a couple years now, but I'm pretty new to XDA...
Anyways, to answer your question, both Schizoid 2 and Evervolv claim to support the camera and microphone. I'm assuming that's all you'll need for Hangouts. However, neither ROM supports Bluetooth, so you'll have to make that sacrifice. I haven't tried either myself, but the people who have seem to rate both rather highly. Head here to check them out.
Also, this thread discusses a patch for the microphone in CM10.
Good luck!

Thanks, Camera worked in both, but I am going with Evervolv, it is simple and seems smooth. Schizoid is awesome but I get lost in all the options.

Will Kitkat be OG Droid-friendly?

So the system requirements for Kitkat have been reduced. considering how JB runs somewhat okay-ish on the OG Droid, I'm optimistic it will run even better.
I'm running Gingerbread right now because of how awesomely stable it is, but I'm thinking that Kitkat could be a legit upgrade for my Droid. Are you looking forward to kitkat?
This can also be bumped when a build is released, to discuss general performance.

A major hurdle for the Droid for running KitKat stably is the same problem that plagues ICS for the Droid is that Ti stopped properly OMAP3430 so the drivers to make things run properly don't really exist. Drivers are the main reason KitKat for the Droid besides condescending the file system to fit on it's ROM memory will be difficult to become stable. This being said it's definitely going to be a fun project to try.

This would be interesting to see. Neat to see some activity here for the og. I keep one around for wifi and recording tunein

I'm hoping somebody gives it a try. I keep my DROID around for a wifi media device and as a MyTracks recorder on my motorcycle rides.

Now that my Gnex has a suitably stable and bug free Kitkat Rom (thanks to Cyanogenmod 11 and Shiny Roms) is anyone working on KitKat for Sholes? Pretty please! Honestly I was never satisfied with Jellybean Sholes and went back to ICS. But KitKat would be a blast, if just for the bragging rights.

Anyone still using the TouchPad? If so what roms ?

I was over at the dev deparment and found most rom threads dead, however, I did find one activew. Going to try the CM 11 nightly, I havent updated mine TouchPad in years

I second your question. I still find the TouchPad to be a capable tablet.

Android 5.1.x development is still happening, thanks to our talented developers However Kitkat Roms will give you the most stable and fully functional experience. Jcsullins and Milaqs CM11 builds are both great choices. I'm personally using Sumashs 4.4.4 PAC Man Rom, overclocked with Kernel Adiutor (ROOT) Increasing the default clock speed from 1.2Ghz to either 1.5Ghz or 1.7Ghz will give you a little extra performance boost. Everything you need to know and a list of the Roms is available in my full thread below, happy flashing.
[ROM GUIDE]How to install Android 5.x.x/4.4.x with Jcsullins TPtoolbox Super Easy Way

Thank you!

Evervolv
Even though Flintman is moving onto M which will be dropping next week or so, I gave this 5.1.1 rom a shot and was eternally grateful for his most recent update expanding bluetooth connectivity and the front camera to work. It does not do video as it will lock up, but stills are just fine in either orientation (landscape/portrait)

Nice thanks for the info, I didn't know Flintman had the camera working or decent BT support. Looking forward to seeing Android M on the HP TP:highfive:

I am surprised too! Still using TP few years. Bought it in China for funny 100 USD and it is some prototype with 3G module, Memory eMMC: Samsung 64Gb and LPDDR2: 8GB Samsung.
Using with ev_tenderloin-5.1.1-testing-2015.10.02 and absolutely satisfied.
Waiting for Marshmallow!

I have TPs running CM9, CM12.1 and Evervolv's AOSP Marshmallow 6.0.1.
I've been using CM12.1 (Lollipop 5.1) for about as long as anybody here, and from my experience, it's pretty rock-solid. I've had fewer problems on that than I've had on my CM9 (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0) TP.
The TP running Evervolv's Marshmallow is still my "testing" tablet. If you don't need Bluetooth or the camera, it could be a daily driver for basic tablet use, but if I were a heavy user of Netflix and Skype (which I'm not), I would probably have a few more concerns about this early Alpha build. That said, this is getting really close. It's probably closer to a finished product than the first releases of Windows 95 were.

Thanks, xda!
Just a quick shout out to jcsullins and Roland Deschain for their collective works. I've successfully updated my old HP TP with Android 4.4.4 (CM11)! I'm not a dev guy, so the TP Toolbox was awesome and easy to use.
Thanks guys!

Just wanted everyone's updated opinion: Anyone have a list of stable Lollipop(v5.1+) roms that have both camera AND Bluetooth working?
thanks

Evervolv! The last update on their 5.1.1 had a working camera and bluetooth. I'll warn you that the bluetooth is not 'perfect' in that it will pair w/ just about everything, but won't move data necessary, example, doing file transfers won't work, but the audio works w/ no issues.

Thanks. Now I will have to decide whether I need to do Bluetooth file transfers or not.
So I gather JCScullin's(or Milaq's) 4.4.x releases are the only ones that have a fully functioning Bluetooth with Camera. Decisions, decisions.....

You'd be right in saying that. I would say that if you can hold on a little, Flintman has been working really hard on the Marshmallow version of Evervolv w/ working bluetooth, but no camera. The bluetooth stack he's trying to work in will be, in my opinion, even better than the existing HP one.
I'm not sure if he'll be able to get the camera working though, so you may have to stay with lollipop if you really need or want it.

Did some reading. I think I'll go with Evervolv v5.1. You mentioned in an earlier post you had issues with video working on this rom. Has the video been fixed? Would love to do video chats in Hangouts.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get video to work and I think that was in part due to a lack of hardware libraries that are compatible with lollipop and newer. While the convenience of that camera is pretty neat, most feel it's not justified to get it working versus something like Bluetooth. It's really hard from a dev perspective to get that camera working. So kudos to Flintman for even getting it to do still pics.
