Does updating WebOS affect ability to install Android? - TouchPad General

Forgive me if missed this, but I'm finally getting mine from HP tomorrow, and I think I'll hold off on CM until some of the major bugs are worked out, but I still want to play with WebOS.

You can still install the cyanogen mod alpha with the update, it doesn't change anything as far as that goes. If you have the alpha installed already, you'll have to rerun the command to install it again, but it still works with the update.

You will have to install only moboot not everything.

Update first and then install CM7. I did this and can confirm that it works.

+1 ... Just did a co-workers TouchPad today and CM7 installed smoothly.
Side note: 3.0.4 is in fact really "snappy", I like the updated camera app and no lag on the stock kernal.

(Q) trying to install vegan tab gingeredition experimental and gapps

I downloaded the files from the thread in the development forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951822. I tried doing the steps listed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245 and could not get it to work. When I rebooted the Gtab, it would just hang at the Viewsonic bird screen for about 15-20 minutes. I tried a few times and the same thing happens each time. I then used the stock 3588.zip to go back to the stock rom and the Gtab booted fine. I have since followed the online video to install tnt lite 4.2 and I substituted in 4.4 but I was successful in making this work and the Gtab booted just fine into TNT lite 4.4. Can anyone explain to me why I am having problems with Vegan tab? Or at least maybe someone could walk me through the steps..
Thanks!

Yup same thing happened to me. Vegan 5.1x works and none of the gingerbread ones.
I repartitioned 2048/0
Reformat tool
reinstalled stock
Did above without reinstalling stock
My original tab works great for the gingerbread roms, while the woot batch does not. (have had 2 cross my desk so far, we bought a lot of them for work purposes)
It's not horrible because vegan 5.1.1 works and that is fine.
Asop (both variants) don't work
vegan gingerbread experimental doesn't work
CM7 RC 3 + RC4
they all hang during the viewsonic birds screen.
The only thing I have not tried, is not using the update method for installing CW .8 bekit, but trying the old nvflash method instead.
So I may break that out and give it a whirl in a bit... But this one has me baffled. Prolly need someone with higher android IQ

Thanks for the response. I talked with my brother who also bought from the woot sale just like myself and you and he successfully put the vegan gingeredition experimental on his. He was walking me through it the way he did it and it hung for me at the viewsonic screen but his works just fine... Kind of weird I think. Anyone have any options or instructions for us?
I just installed Vegan-Tab 5.1 beta with the supplement and it worked fine. I am up and running with zero problems. I am still stumped on why the Vegan Tab ginger edition experimental will not work. It just sits at the Viewsonic screen. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Well here is another one to add to the mystery.
Networking guy came in just now cause stock was FC on installation screen. So I used the sd card cw install.
Partitioned to get rid of FC
mounted as USB in CW
added rom + kernel + gapps
flashed all 3 of them
Bingo - tablet booted up...
now I am really scratching my head.
Tried gingerbread asop + gapps + pershot booted the first try.....
So 2 tablets no gingerbread love 3rd tablet installed perfectly the first time.
I got one of the woot batch and am running the vegan experimental without an issue.
Actually, one issue I've found is that once i activated airplane mode it greys out the option so you can't turn it off. I can go into settings and enable the wireless, but the airplane icon becomes a permanent fixture in the notification bar.

Im pretty sure its the bootloader at this point. Need to update to 3588 (first before putting on CW .8) I'm thinking that the gingerbread roms just don't run on 33xx though they work perfectly on the original bootloader.
Will see if I can find a volunteer today to test this on (been just pushing 5.1.1 since it worked on all the tablets).
I think Roebeet has a package that updates to 3588s bootloader so will give that a whirl today.

What kernel are you using?

I have had the same issue. Got my GTab from woot installed Vegan 5.1.1 and it is running great. I've tried just about every gingerbread rom and it always hangs up on the viewsonic screen.
I did find this post but haven't tried it yet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015286&page=2

after much experimentation, It's the internal cw package. If you use the sd card method or use NV flash gingerbread installs just fine.
*shrug*
No I have no Idea why either....

Anyone else have trouble using Update All in the market?

I can't seem to get Update All to work. I am rooted on cyanogen mod 7, running 2.3. When I click Update All most of the downloads/installs fail. and the eris is dog slow. Do I need to go back to updating one app at a time?
My Eris just hung then rebooted trying to use Update All. Oh well.
You don't say which ROM.
I had that problem with GSB, but I do not with CondemnedSoul's CM7 ROM. (Though, to be fair, GSB would eventually all update if I just kept doing it.)

Havent booted WebOS since CM7, what to expect?

Hey guys, so I haven't booted into WebOS since the day CM7 came out back in October.
I'm curious as to whether I need to take precautions with anything, Wifi, etc before doing so. Anyone?
You should be fine, I use both all the time... one OS doesn't affect the other. However, I don't know if you ever updated webOS to 3.0.4. It may do it automatically so if that happens you will lose moboot (and some patches). Just reinstall moboot only through ACMEinstaller if that happens.
Dont update WebOS and you'll be fine. If you do update I think you'll have to run ACMEinstaller again.
no probs here
I also use both (mainly cm7) and havent noticed any issues what so ever. Don't know about how updating web os will affect cm7 since I have only had cm7 since the latest web Os update. Works like a charm.
If you boot into webOS, it'll download the update. Then you can install it, then run acme installer to install moboot again. Works like a charm.
Sent from my Legendary 2.2 infused device.
I run both OS's everyday just about without issue. Like others have said, if you havn't updated WebOS to the latest version you may have to. Ensure that you remove any patches you have before you run the update and of course you will lose moboot.

Phone crashed and rebooted in the middle of running V6 script

I'm on the newest CM9 release, so my phone is pretty unstable right now. Right when it got to the point where it asked for my input on scrolling speed, my phone crashed. I'm new to this stuff, so I'm not too sure how bad that is, I just tried rerunning the script though, and it doesn't start.
I'm just wondering, did I screw anything up? If the script didn't finish, how can I get it to run again and complete? The phone seems to be running fine, I just want to know if V6 finished doing its job, and if not, how I can get it to do so. Thanks for the help guys.

Download Smanager from the market and see if you can run the script. But have you tried CM9 mashed up?? It makes a world of difference alone.

Thanks! I was trying to run it with terminal emulator and I can see now why they said to use Script Manager. Much easier! Just finished the script and am now rebooting...
And yeah, I was previously running CM9 Alpha 3 with the Mashup, and it didn't seem to make any difference to me. I'm now trying Alpha 4 with both the Mashup and supercharger, and I'm hoping ICS will be somewhat stable!

I seemed to have the best luck Alpha 4 only mashed up. Try it both ways and see what works best!
If I were you I'd attempt to remove the script entirely. I ran it on cm9 and mine died mid run. Rebooted and everything looked peachy then my phone started opening and closing apps on its own. When I would open the keyboard everything would spazz out. Wipe Cache and Dalvik and if the option to un-supercharge in the V6 menu is still there, do that before wiping.

ExROM 2.0 question

Probably a n00b mistake, but I just installed ExROM 2.0 after I had bionix 1.3.1 and my gps is seeing 12 satellites, but won't lock onto any of them. Checking with GPS Test app. It looks like other people report gps works great. Any thoughts on what I messed up or what I could do to fix this? Do I need to reinstall or something? I did choose wipe everything in clockwork before I installed this. Thanks.

If I was in your situation, I would first re-flash the ROM, then if that doesn't work, flash the latest SubZero kernel, and then if that doesnt work, go back to stock, flash bionix and test it to see if GPS is software destroyed (like mine was b4, tried every possible solution, nothing, so i waited for a few weeks, didnt touch GPS at all, and then one day, YAY it works again. Sounds like complete BS, but im not kidding). If GPS works again on Bionix, try going to another ICS rom (such as CM9 (it tells you steps and stuff too) or ICSzenwich from rootzwiki.) and then follow the steps from EXrom page. ^.^ Good Luck!
Thanks for the input. I just installed it again exactly as I did the first time and I'm getting gps data now. Weird. Thanks again.
