Complains that an "Alpha build" isn't up to his standards. Sticks with a "final build" OS that doesn't work properly.

Most alpha builds around here are extremely stable and they have dual-boot option already. I'm currently using classicnerd's ICS and I haven't even bothered touching webos (still at 3.0.4)

I'm just saying you're knocking it before you even tried it.
You're sticking to webOS because its a final build but refusing to consider dual booting with android because you "know, alpha for a reason" (you probably don't) and waiting until the TouchPad gets an "official" android build with launch party and everything, while you're spending hours bug fixing your device to get a basic feature to work.
I'm just here to correct your logic, not to convert you or anything. Final/official build does not mean it is bug proof, but it certainly implies itself to be. Alpha/beta builds doesn't have to mean its full of bugs, but it "wants" to imply that it has.
TL;DR - titles are often superficial. Don't knock it before you try it.

I'm pretty sure you that you wanted to dual boot, but you don't want the current Android builds because they're still in alpha.
I then make a snarky comment about you calling Android buggy because it's alpha while you're bug fixing a webOS problem. (Irony found here)
Now you're using Android that you didn't originally want because it was "buggy" even though you didn't want to offend the developers for giving it a pass. (Slightly hypocritical, but I don't know, CM9 did go from alpha 0.5 to 0.6 so... yeah)
And then you make a comment (in jest) about my nationality. (an ad hominem remark to discredit my observations)

Is it possible to totally remove webos from the touchpad and install Android only? Would be nice to have the maximum storage space available. Thanks all.
I wouldn't want to remove webOS. I've been an Android user for a pretty long time, but find that I like webOS better.
In Cyanogen's original post, introducing their android port, they address this and say that webOS should be left on the tablet.
Actually it's pretty neat having dualboot, you get the best of both worlds. But to each their own. I haven't run across any posts that address this, but if I do, I'll post the link.
They wouldn't nuke webos because the android OS is still in alpha, so if anything should happen you'd be left with a dumb tablet.
Sent from my LG-P925
Definitely like the dual boot, prefer it that way!!
I wish I could ditch WebOS, waste of space on my tab, not booted into it since the day Alpha 1 was released and have no intention of ever booting into WebOS again.
Not a good idea to nuke webOS just yet as we do not have a stable release of any Android distribution yet.

Another thing to think about is that portions of webos are necessary right now for booting cm7. Removing webos completely would result in a brick. Just sayin......

I tried CM7 and Xron's take on it. I didn't think I was going to because I have a 4.3" android phone, no desire to see that experience scaled and stretched. I immediately saw I was right. Gingerbread does not lend itself to tablets well, IMO.
The first thing I did in android? Googled "moboot default webOS." I will leave it on there in the event I absolutely want to watch netflix or something. I just feel that the cards, and multi-tasking gestures in webOS is so much more intuitive.
I would try a Honeycomb build or ICS, but I just don't find a buggy phone OS a good fit for a tablet. Not that I'm complaining, its an alpha build, but even smooth and stable, I would not want 2.3 on here.

afaik CM-Release states that WebOS hardly takes up any space so it would be dumb to ditch it just for space issues?
Don't plan on removing web os. The more I learn the more I think I can wait on a stable Android Port to live along side web os.

yep thats my point too. great developement. stable and responsive alpha. but it still feels like a stretched phone os. webos feels so much more tablet optimized.
Well, we understand that it is just Alpha builds. However, going on about how you do not want to wipe WebOS because of Alpha/Beta/Not Tablet Roms, doesn't help. It is just a personal opinion there. I would love to wipe out the WebOS part as well, if nothing than to free up more space. However, I do understand that it is an essential part to the Mods to work and I would not. If the day comes and the Mods are independent, I would wipe it.
As far as warranty is involved, did you not just void the warranty by installing the CM on the touchpad?
Not to say webos is bad, but I just would rather dual booting Ubuntu-native and CM9 alpha 2.

I have the 16GB Touchpad. Currently running Android ICS (the CN version). Prior to that, I had Gingerbread... probably installed it back in October? My point is that I have not booted into webOS at all since October. I don't even remember what webOS looks like anymore.
My Touchpad is used daily and I have been happy 99% of the time. No real reason for me to keep webOS on it. On other other hand, how much storage space can I gain if I "nuke" webOS out of my Touchpad? Is it 2GB, 3GB, or perhaps more?
Thanks!
Firstly, lthe Android team doesn't have any way to do this. It is so till necessary on occasion to have WebOS on here, because the underlying firmware (below the kernel) requires it.
Secondly, even if you did completely remove all the other partitions from WebOS, yo would only gain yourself approximately one gig of space. 1056 MB to be exact. Then you need your /boot which is 30, so you gain 1024. Not a significant amount of space, so why bother, especially since you still need the WebOS in case something goes terribly wrong and out have to reform pat or reinstall anything.

i think the better question should be: "when can we get a stable ICS on the HP Touchpad?"
it will be nice to be able to run just a "stable" ICS on the hp touchpad. i will never wipe out webos for any alpha or beta OS, even when i can.
So I've had my HP Touchpad since August, idly sitting on my shelf collecting dust. I'm so eager to get Android running on it asap.
My question to fellow Android and Touchpad users is whether I should go ahead and install Alpha 3 or wait for the stable version? And if I do install the Alpha, will I be able to update it to the stable one if and when it releases?

I installed cm7, and then xRonified over that. I've had no problems, except self-induced ones. . CyanogenMod is working on ICS and won't update Cm7 any longer. xronified, now at vB1. 3 has been stable for me when I'm using android.
My use webos/android is about 65/35. Dual booting is great!!
I dont think we'll even see a "stable" one soon, it will probably come with the ICS port and that's not even in our hands yet.
Go ahead and install Alpha 3 or the latest Xron Rom, most, if not all Android features work properly, except that Gingerbread is really unwieldy on a 10 inch device and is not suited for tablets.
It works well enough for most functions and apps though
Well I would recommend messing around with WebOS and loading preware on it. It won't bite, I promise
If you're familiar with *nix then there is a full terminal and all. It's pretty versatile, and after the system updates it runs pretty smooth. Plus with HP making it open source, there will hopefully be some nice WebOS based ROMS on the horizon as well.
I'm holding out for a good Android ROM as well. But WebOS isn't bad to tide you over for a while either

Agreed. ICS will not be out for a while, and from what I've been told, it'll be flakey once we do get it. Install Alpha3 or Xron, and start playing with it.
You have nothing to lose by installing it and if you don't like it in its current state you can always remove it.
I recommend the xron ROM, its more polished and quite frankly I have no real issues to speak of, everything basically works...like someone else said though running gingerbread on a tablet has its shortcomings but nothing a little tweaking does't help remedy

I have played around with the WebOS when I first got it but found it lacking a lot of things - mainly apps - if you mean preware. I loved how smooth things were though.
I think I will go ahead and install xron since its getting positive reviews. Thanks for the input from everyone!

I second the Xron recommendation. It's good enough that most people won't have problems with it.
I also recommend trying out Task Changer from the market to get some swipe to task switch action on Android.
Running Alpha 3 and no issues except occasional WiFi. Thinking about XRON but not sure if we can move from Alpha 3 to XRON and still keep the apps, games & settings done in Alpha 3 though. Any suggestions?
So apparently after reading a lot of sites, I have to install Alpha 3 and then install Xron on top of that. Grr for more work!

The only issue I am seeing right now is that when i plug a pair of headphones on the device the sound cuts off. Not sure if this is due to the Rom or a hardware issue with my device (Refurb from the ebay sale).

I am used to modding android devices. I might be looking to get a touchpad for my mother depending on how stable an android rom is for it.
Is there a stable CM7?
What are the features that DO-NOT work? (that way I can assume everything else works?)
Front camera, skype support?
Again I would be looking for the most stable and bug free ROM that I would not have to constantly flash updates for her. Thanks!!
I have never used CM7 since I just got my Touchpad a few weeks ago when CM9 was out. But CM9 is stable. Just doesnt have camera or mic working. I dont know if these issues are the same with CM7. But if your mom has no need for all the apps android has to offer, she can just use webOS which is more stable than both CM7 and CM9.

Dont bother at all with CM7. CM9 and other ICS roms are far more stable. Pretty much everything works except for the camera and microphone. Battery life is nowhere near as good as in webOS, expect about 2 days of standby or about 5 hours of constant usage. Some people have wifi issues, but they're more often than not fixed by setting the router to avoid higher channels (keep it on 6 or below). The vibrate motor also for some reason stops working after the device goes into sleep, and the only way to get it going again is to reboot but I dont think that's a big issue for anyone.
As for a ROM, I'd recommend CM9 not because its the best but because its the one I'm most familiar with, and I can say its fairly stable. Sometimes it will randomly reboot, but never while actively using it. I'm using a nightly, but since you're giving this to a family member you might be better off with the better tested Alpha 2.
Stable Rom: Classicnerd
For me the most stable rom has been classicnerd's latest version. I have been using it and donot get any force closes or reboots. You can find the latest version at classicnerd.net/Betas/
as far as CM9 and the camera/mic issues, I think she would want to use skype to video chat with family members, so that would be a problem.
Does classicnerd have that issue?

webos does not have a lot of the banking and other apps she may find useful. Although is it easy to dual boot webOS and android? I'm thinking maybe its useful to boot to webOS just for skype and Android for everything else. That is, if its easy to switch between them.

Dual booting is the only way to do it. As far as I know, you cant replace webOS. When you follow the instructions to install android, you also install what is called a moboot that lets you select which operating system to boot into when starting the device. Switching between the two is easy and is just a matter of restarting your device.

Just depends on how adept she is at technology. If she can decently run a computer and text, she should be mostly okay. The one thing I would highly recommend is to make sure she can fix the wifi authentication problem. Basically, every now and then, wifi will have an authentication problem. When this happens, she needs to go to wifi settings, forget the router, toggle wifi off/on, and sign back into the router. This problem usually occurs for me when I leave wifi on and then reboot or get a random reboot. Takes maybe a minute to fix. As far as ROM, I like oat's light and tasty, although they're all pretty good, as they have the same base.
Sorry, I have to get this out of my system, then I'll be back to polite nice Canadian. In short, try one and see.

One of these days, people will actually glance through the forums as opposed to posting a new thread. This thread has been duplicated many other times before now.
In the end, again, just grab one, take it for a spin, and try it. Start with the more official ones, and work out from there until you find something you like. If nothing suits your fancy, take the source and make your own. It's pretty simple. So please stop spamming the boards with "Which ROM should I use" threads. </rant mode off>

I have tried CN and others but, I think that Oat's light n' tasty is the best so far. All my games run great and so does netflix and YouTube. But, a Rom is only good if it runs the apps you like. You I'll have to find the one that works best for you. I still think webOS is still good. Just my $0.02
I figured one more opinion can't hurt.
I've been using AOKP on my touchpad ever since I found out that they build roms for hp touchpads. It's great, so is CM9 but for some reason my touchpad refuses to behave with CM9, I'm talking random reboots, wifi issues, SOD (screen of death), and so on. ClassicNerd is also great too but I fell in love with the ROM control options available with AOKP.
Either way, one of the earlier posts mentioned that battery life is weak with ICS which is NOT the case for me, I always have wifi on, with my CPU overclocked to the maximum available frequency and get about 7 days, yes 7 DAYS, of standby and at least a full day of constant use.
As for skype, it is not fully functional with all android devices, just the few that the skype people officially support, I've tried it on my phone and it gave me a lot of issues, so even if the mic and cam were working I doubt skype would work well enough on the TP.
Obviously as others have mentioned earlier ICS is much better on the TP than GB, plus you have the great option of dual booting so you could always use WebOS which is pretty decent itself.
All in all, the TP was a great $100 investment and has a lot of support from some great devs out there. My almost 3 years old nephew has one and he loves it too lol
if you install one of the current nightlys, unofficial or official, she should be running just fine until you come over and install the one of the newer ones for her

Was going to give 1 nook tablet to a nun who'll leave for Ghana soon, but this happened...
2 questions:
1. should I leave it in stock mode...this nun does not know how to fix it...besides, she'll be in Ghana...don't know if she'll have access to internet.
2. if not, which version of cm...cm7 or cm9 should I put it on for her... reason for rooting & putting cm7 or cm9 is so I can utilize most if not all of 16gb of the nook tablet...since I heard that BN only allows 1gb of storage...

Moved to Q&A
Don't go with CM9. It is really not for production yet. Also CM9 has a timer and will stop working every month or so and you have to download and install the next version. I am running the SD version of CM7 and it works well. I have heard the internal is also stable.
B&N will reformat your partitions if you are stock so you get more storage. Probably the best route if the tablets will only be used as readers. Then, maybe the simple touch was a better choice. Way longer battery life. If any hope of internet the CM7 will give a better tablet experience.
You also can add an SD card for additional storage and the sd card can be swapped around and one can be preloaded and mailed..

This is bad advice in my opinion. CM9 is plenty stable enough, its more a question of whether the missing features will affect a given user and this will vary from user to user. Honestly, I think anyone who is flashing roms should at least check it out.

Why does it expire? I rooted the HP Touchpad for my brother & I don't think it has same problem...or at least he hasn't complained to me...
so why is there an expiration for the Nook Tablet? & is there a way of fixing it?

Completely different developers. CM9 is open source so people can use the code to adapt it for other devices. The developers for the nook have decided to make it expire. Its still a rom in development though so anyone using it is likely checking the forums pretty regularly. Its not exactly difficult to reflash the rom once a month.
Also, just to nitpick a bit, you didn't root the touchpad as its not a Linux based device. You likely pushed the custom bootloader moboot and then pushed the custom version of android, cm9, allowing it to have dual boot setup.

Go to the general thread thread 1059 is a link for CM7 internal. Has been fine for me and it has deep sleep and the wifi doesn't appear to die. Stay away from CM9 in your case. Rooted stock would also be acceptable.

Supposedly 10.1 went 'official' for all devices that had a stable build, of which I thought we were one - but if you go to download it from the website, and do all the filters (samsung, phablet, cm 10.1), we don't get listed - you have to go back to CM 10.
What's the scoop? I'm really getting fed up with the absolutely stupid amount of lag (even after disabling and ripping out a ton of unnecessary apps), and am seriously considering moving over to CM - but since it's not listed as official/stable I'm a bit gunshy of suddenly going to buggy/reboot laden use rather than just slow/frustrating.

You are really exaggerating any flaws. Is your comment based on actual use? I went through most of the 10.1 roms and had little to no problems.
And the stock rom with bloated apps frozen is as smooth as I could hope for.
I don't think any rom will meet your standards . . . just sayin'

I don't know if I'm exaggerating the CM 10.1 issues - that's why I'm asking, are we on a stable build yet or not? As for stock/carrier ROM performance, I wouldn't call 5 seconds to unlock the screen into an SMS notification being frustrating and slow an exaggeration by any means - but outside of the rare app FC I agree that it runs pretty well otherwise and is why I've been content to run on it since it came out.
I'm a pretty easy pleaser as long as things function consistently and reliably. So as long as the crash/reboot issues for CM 10.1 are truly flukes, I'd be willing to give it a try. Does the i717 have a stable CM 10.1 build?

The stable build is listed, not sure why you did not see it.

I had the same question about the stability of the CM10.1 stable, and made a post. Some people gave some feedback.

I am using CM10.1 stable on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0, and it works beautifully. But, I am not so sure about i717.
the msm8660 family *quincyatt/quincytmo/skyrocket/hercules* all have "stable" named builds from cm, though we dont actually have a "stable" 4.2.2 build
there is also another rom elsewhere that posts as "stable"
but until we get Bluetooth and Reboots fixed we dont actually have a true stable 4.2.2 build, some of us are lucky and avoid reboots and dont use bluetooth so we get "kinda a stable" build but in reality until those 2 main issues are fixed no one should be saying the word stable
but after all that said, if you set your phone up properly and dont bloat it with crap you should have a better experience then touchwiz
im not promoting my stuff over others but give uxylon+uber kernel combo a try. i havent had a reboot since june, but i dont use bluetooth so that issue doesnt effect me
*one of the keys to killing a lot of reboots on cm10.1/aosp is to turn off CRT
Looks like there's a new quincyatt stable release as of yesterday 7/10/13 for CM 10.1 - well, here goes nothing! :]
