How do you edit the build prop?

I used ES File explorer

yeah or there's build prop editor which you can download from the market

The new alpha seems identical to the nightly builds, will just keep grabbing them everyday I guess.

james.miller · 22 Feb 2012 at 00:33

Hardware video decoding isnt in the nightly builds, yet.

just updated and I'm enjoying finally being able to watch videos on my ICS touch pad :-)

I also changed the pixel density to 120 and its a lot better than 160 I can finally fit all my most used Widgets on my home screen without having to swipe to the next screen

Just installed, had some issues with moboot so I had to reinstall that after,

Had to apply the update build file for video, but it is working a treat.

I am coming from 0.6.

What software can I use to change my DPI to 120? I want to be able to easily change it back if need be.

I am on Alpha 0.5 but will change to 1.0 before I try the DPI change.

Should be able to install one of the lcd denisity zip files with CWM:

For Alpha 1/2 just use the same zip files for that version from the relevant release thread.

Personally I think 160 DPI suits tablet usage more than 120. 120 looks very blocky and just "meh". 160 seems smoother. Noway I would ever fill the screen real estate in 120DPI!

And there are a few apps on the Market that do the same thing

Apparently the zip files do more than just change DPI so the Market recognises the TP as a tablet.

alpha 2 is out

I wonder when they will finally get cm9 settings working.

spudbynight · 22 Feb 2012 at 09:46

I am going to upgrade from 0.5

Do I just flash the Zip in Rom Manager?

doodah · 22 Feb 2012 at 10:37

Wipe cache and dalvik, then flash.

Is USB mode still not working?

Sin_Chase · 22 Feb 2012 at 12:02

Still no Mass USB Storage in CM9 yet.

Worst case you can boot to CWM and mount it there instead though. It's a pain but...you could just use an FTP/HTTP server to get files over in the interim.

Have you tried enabling MTP in the Storage settings?

This.

Had no issues on any computer I have used after doing the above.

doodah · 22 Feb 2012 at 14:56

That option is not present :confused:

Storage just shows me a bunch of bars showing much space is being used. When I plug into my work PC - it doesn't install the USB MTP driver for some reason.....

Click the 3 dots at the top right > USB computer connection

doodah · 22 Feb 2012 at 15:05

Yeah just realised - doh
