Hey mates, was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a good Rom to start with for this? I just picked up a used Eris and went through the One-Click Root. Running Plainjaine Sense, but would like to try out some others. Anyone have any good suggestions?

Welcome to XDA, Axacizir.
Well, I've heard great things about several ROMs (I switched from my Eris to the DX last year, but I've been staying in touch with things both here and over at AF).
xtrSENSE5.0.1, xtrROM, GSB 3.8, and Condemned CM7 are all very highly thought of.
That being said, there are also a ton of other ROMs, too, that I'm sure are excellent that were built by some very creative and dedicated devs. All of these fine ROMs can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=554
Be sure to read through the various ROM threads for all the installation instructions, caveats, and gotchas. If you run into an issue, read through the various pages of post that folks have added since they may very well have already encountered the same issue as you.
Good luck and happy ROMing .

Thanks Mate! Glad to be here on XDA! Thank you so much for the suggestions, being new to rooting and this whole Android thing, it's a scary endeavor to root my device and find out the Rom caused a brick! I'm assuming that most Rom's here are "safe" to flash, as long as you have the proper recovery to flash with?
Again, thanks! It's a pleasure being here!

Yes, they are safe as long as you follow all the little details / instructions in regard to getting the ROM installed--there are often difference in terms of what extras might need to be flashed (for example, the Google apps are included in some ROMs, but not in others).
Just read through the ROM dev's thread carefully...and it wouldn't hurt to read through a few of the first and last pages of each thread, too, to get a flavor of issues that new flashers might be experiencing--that'll likely answe a few questions that you might have before you run into them.
If, by proper recovery, you mean Amon_RA's custom recovery, then yes (we tend to steer new folks away from ClockworkMod recovery for the Eris at this point since there are some unexplained issues a few folks have had with internal memory blocks being mysteriously marked as bad with CWM--which is most likely a procedural issue vs. an inherent problem with CWM).
Also, if your trackball is misbehaving in custom recovery, I've built a version of Amon_RA's recovery that uses other keys for navigation. Lemme know if you need that and I'll point you in the right direction re. that (or you can find it by an XDA or Google search of "trackball-not-required").
Cheers!
I've been a happy modder for the past year in a half, just make sure you backup before you do anything crazy.
I know this may sound stupid but backup what? Contact's are automatically synced and apps can just be redownloaded. What am I missing that's not stored on an SD card which wont be affected anyways.

Thank you very much! Just got it running, so far no issues or force closes. I have been waiting on a 1.1 bl honeycomb. Thank you!
Wow! Great news, definitely gonna give this a try, had lots of issues the last time I used a 1.2 based bootloader,so I'm really glad to see this!
Thanks!

Thanks in advance.
there's a 1.1 version of this now????

I'm actually surprised that it took this long.
We used the 1.2 bl initially because we had to as we ported directly from the Adam devs. But once there were Clem kernel ports, it wasn't technically a requirement anymore. I just never changed my port as my opinions on 1.2 are already well-stated and sticking with it made sense to me, at least. But that doesn't mean that a 1.1 based HC ROM was impossible.
However, if NI releases a HC port and it's using a .36 kernel to make everything work, this 1.1 ROM might have issues with porting that. But this is all speculation, at this point - I don't know if a NI port will even work on a GTAB yet, regardless of the bootloader used.
does this has the same bl 1.2 version issues or just the usb to pc?!
bl 1.2 version has these issues:
(copied from other forum)
- Camera isn't working (pulled out the app for now)
- Browser is working, but OpenGL is disabled for it to work. That means no Flash on the stock browser.
- (High-def) video playback does not work, yet.
any testers can confirm this? i'm a bit feeling lazy to try it today
confirmed but very smooth i love it its not reading my sdcard though how can i get it to read sd card?

Awwwww, yeah! I'm pumped. Is this essentially the same as Roebeet's BOS, with the same features not working yet?
This is great news!
Is it accelerated?
Does it run Flash 10.3?

Odd...seems to work ok on mine.
I did notice that it's called "/external_sd" though, might want to check to see if you have that on your device.

One other thing, on a good note -- I'm definitely happy to see more modders our there for the GTablet. Options are always a good thing and I plan to pull back a bit, starting new month. So the more HC ports we have, the better!
Quick question... If I'm running Vegan 5.1.1, what do I need to do to install this ROM? Full wipe? Just flash it from CWM? Something else entirely?
Sorry, I'm still a bit of a noob at all of this, but I promise I'm trying to learn!

I was really hesitant to post anything, as I really don't want you taking this the wrong way. I apologize if it came off as anything else but a concern for post-support, that was not my intent (and, in retrospect, a PM would have been better. My bad).
The branding, for me, is mostly about post-support. Remember, I'm a sysadmin by trade so when I get PM's on issues, I usually ask the usual questions like what mod, what version, how did you install it, etc. That's actually why I started branding "TNT Lite" as such back in November, as it was easier for me to know if a user was actually using my ROM or not. That's really my only concern, here. When two different mods are branded the same, it will get confusing. Especially if they are on two different development branches. It is fun, I agree - that's why I do this. But for users who soft-brick, it's sometimes a major panic attack and a lot of them are hesitant to use nvflash.

Robeet, I think you were spot on, the OP is not reading it correctly. I can just see the flood of posts/PM's asking you questions and users cross posting between 1.1/1.2 because of this and the difficulty of tracking all this. it's difficult enough keeping up with all these great roms and boot loader types, I could not imagine what it is like on your guys side.
OP he is not dissing you, he is just asking that you rename it so you can support issues and he does not have to keep getting cross questions, it's pretty much non-issue in my eyes.
OP, thanks for supporting the Gtab and the 1.1. people like all you devs that make android so much fun and android FTW over IOS.

Yes, full wipe and flash it. do a backup of course just incase you want to go back. back up your apps as well so you can restore them on the other side of HC.

And it starts....says "Bottle of Smoke" in your XDA app.
Remember - it's a fork of BoS. It has a different kernel and possibly a different ramdisk, so I don't know how it will perform versus BoS (the original one).

Maybe this should be called something like "Bottle of Smoke MOD" since technically it is a modified version of the original.
Hi all,
I am looking to root my HP Touchpad but am a bit overwhelmed by the options available and cautious about the bugs mentioned in various roms.
I have a Nook Tablet rooted to the newly released CM7 so I am familiar with the process but there seem to be alot more options to take with the Touchpad.
Firstly, what should I root to? I am reading it is CM9 rather than CM7. Then some people are crooning about ICS which I have never tried. I also see that when people root it seems to be dual boot method rather than just one...is that mandatory?
Could anyone point me to the thread or a nice guide for rooting to CM9? I see one with CM9 and cornerstone...is this the one everyone is using or a variation of it?
cyanogen mod comes prerooted.
i believe you mean which rom to Flash.
and in regards to your question, i actually have no problems with CM9 atm. It's pretty nice.
if you want a "how to install android on your touchpad", go to rootzwiki and follow the instructions in the cm9 alpha 2 thread.
EDIT: yes, dual booting is mandatory for now afaik. It's a safety mechanism in case something happens. you can atleast revert back to webos and start from scratch then.

Thanks that's exactly what I was looking for.
Ty all for responses.
If I am reading this right, I have to install CM7 first then upgrade to CM9. Is there a marked difference between 7 & 9? I am used to 7 from the Nook Tablet but if CM9 is better for the HP I will get it.
No you do NOT have to install CM7 before installing CM9.
And yes, there is a HUGE difference between the two. CM7 is Gingerbread, originally made for phones (and the occasional tablet - but highly tweaked in those tablet versions). CM9 is a tablet OS that can be tweaked to work with phones.
I highly recommend reading the thread in my first reply, on RootzWiki, which explains what you need to get and download and do in order to install CM9. Or, as I said, PM me, and I'll walk you through it.

Can you direct me to that thread? Not sure what you mean by thread in your first reply.
I need a guide that is using the new CM9. I am using this page which was linked to me. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23740765But looking at this page all tuorials seem to be Cm7 or something else. Maybe it's there but I am not seeing it.
For example, is this CM9? http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10121-releasealpha35cyanogenmod-touchpad/ Or is this something else? It just says CM Touchpad.

Okay, first off. Your second link is not CM9, it's CM7. You can tell by reading it. At the bottom, the author discusses CM7. I think the current official release of CM9 is Alpha2. Check here. There's a link in that article, but you'll have to read it. Here is the link to CM9. Alpha3.5 was CM7 from November of last year. CM9 Alpha2 is from February of this year.
To find the CM9 link is pretty easy. Look near the top of the link you posted, almost in the (top) center of the page, there's a link that says 'CyanogenMod[Touchpad]'. That's the link to the 'parent forum'. By clicking that link you'll find the posts in that forum. If you look at the light grey in each post, there are dates there. CM9 Alpha2 is currently the most recent official version, so logically, it's the post with the most recent date.
And like I said, if you look on Youtube for a 'Reverend Kyle', he explains everything you need to know in very simple terms. His videos are very easy to follow, and you can even do it without reading the full RootzWiki page. You can probably even find a direct link to the files on his youtube videos, so you won't even have to use google.
The install procedures for CM9 and CM7 are exactly the same. They use different files, but the process is the exact same.

Thanks for clearing these things up for me.
I suspected the install procesdures were identical, but wasn't 100% sure and knowing me that's where i'd mess it up - leaving out something v. important.
I see on the CM9 link there are links to Reverends video guides, so I am gonna start watching his channel and take it from there.

His vids are very explanatory. He's also got his own forum and an Android app that both might also be useful.
Plus he's a SUPER-nice guy. He'll answer any questions you have if you post in his forum or as a comment to one of his youtube vids. Although, his forum would probably be faster.

Success! I did it using the videos and it went off without a hitch. He breaks it down so well. Some things I even had to skip past because he was explaining them in such length - which is no bad thing.
Anyways, thank you steering me in the right direction.

No worries. He's got some great vids check some of the others out. Glad to help. Congrats and enjoy!
I'll preface my post by stating that I'm fairly certain that no stable ROMs yet exist for this device; the only thing I've seen anyone running is CM7, and that still appears to be in development for the E-739.
That said, I'm coming to this phone (temporarily) from an HTC Sensation, which I love dearly. Going back to Gingerbread from a stable ICS ROM is frustrating, to say the least. The interface feels very dated, and I'm not a fan of the dock that LG implemented for the device. I'd like to be able to select which applications are in the dock, as with ICS. Ideally, I'd like to find a compatible ICS ROM. Based on hours of searching, one doesn't exist, but it can't hurt to ask.
So: has anyone had any success getting an ICS ROM on the LG E-739? Or perhaps a passable Gingerbread ROM? I really just need to rid myself of the ludicrous amount of bloatware that currently inhabits my applications folder... Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you have the downloads for this rom. I asked sbrissen and nitsuj17 if they still had it and they don't. The links in the thread for it don't work either. I was wondering if someone out there has it and could post it. Yes I know it's FROYO and yes I have used ICS and GB versions but I wanted to try this because I am bored and want to see how it works. Thanks...

Did some research. It looks like MultiUpload was either shut down or went out of business, and with it went the only copies of MIUIWiz. It looks like the only possible source for it would be if someone has it rattling around on their computer or sdcard. I'm looking at you, readers of this thread. I did find MIUI GB and the thread it came from, however.
