The Touchpad Android thread

What dpi do you all use? I assume none of you are using the stupid 160 default (it's only set to that for app compatibility for the market downloads).

what noticeable difference does it make? apart from being incompatible if you go higher? which is a bad thing i would have thought.

this is a very early alpha build, it's best to leave it the way developers made it, they are the experts after all.

ICS is looking very slick, they are asking for people to "donate" or help build it, they have ran into real issues with drivers and such, and this may end up halting progress a lot, a final build may never surface in fact, unless they can get support from HP, which doesn't look likely.

If you guy's are using ICS and want it to be improved, donating im sure will speed up the work being done on it.
 
As long as they focus on the critical things first.

I can live without a camera - never use it.
Bluetooth - Can wait no worries

Performance and full hardware acceleration is probably my personal priority with full App Market access.

I thought the Bluetooth worked, its fine with the HP Keyboard anyway. :)

I did notice that some games on the TP ICS are zoomed in a bit, menus missing etc...

Really loving the performance on this latest 'alpha' v0! Is anyone else having any issues with wifi? Mine seems to occasionally lose connection to my network and I have to turn on airplane mode and then back off to reconnect.

I didn't have any issues with wifi in cm7 but since switching to cm9 ive been getting really slow wifi performance it seems to drop in and out now and again :(

Following on from my post above, after advice on the developer's forums I installed 'FXR Wifi' from the market and ran it through. No problems since doing so here! Might be worth a go if you are having drop outs.
 
So I've been playing Leaf Green over the past two days and a whole bunch of screwing around. Zero force closes and errors...

Battery life could be improved, but I'm not complaining. So much win for £80~

It makes a massive difference to the sharpness of text, makes keyboards etc the proper size, UI elements are set to their correct size and your dpi will match your screen resolution so you get more real estate for icons, Widgets, UI elements etc.

The developers suggest changing it, and that 160 is used for market compatibility although there are many other ways to enable compatibility again.

As soon as they get the camera working I'll be putting CM9 on my Touchpad (need it for Skype). I'm certain that webOs is running slower since the last update :(

it wasn't working on CM7, i think that is one of the "walls" they have it, driver related, i think. they need people to start helping the project out through donations or developing it themselves.

tablets are a lot harder to develop for than phones iirc.
