Re: [MBZ] HP TouchPad Dual Boot
Our cameras work, and so do all the apps, on cm7. But it's more gingery and less creamy. I've never booted back to Webos since the transition. Of course the camera quality is awful, even the children don't like them - so you aren't missing much. Glad you are having a good time with it! :) Best, Tim On Mar 1, 2012 10:30 PM, Dan Penoff lwb...@yahoo.com wrote: Success!

Re: [MBZ] HP TouchPad Dual Boot
Well, as I may have mentioned earlier, I will be swapping the 16GB TouchPad for a 32GB model next week, which I will promptly jailbreak. Then the 16GB one will go to eBay to be purchased for a stupid price (I can't believe what people are paying for these used!) I like the dual boot capabilities. Since I have no experience with either OS at this point I am trying to use both and decide which will become the permanent one. Wifi is a little sketchy still, and battery consumption is high. These are known issues, so I expect them to be dealt with in future beta releases. The foundation is good, however. My only real complaint is with the wifi being wonky at this point. There are lots of reports in this regard, do I am sure it will get fixed shortly. Dan On Mar 2, 2012, at 10:59 AM, Tim C bb...@crone.us wrote: Our cameras work, and so do all the apps, on cm7.

Re: [MBZ] HP TouchPad
I will continue to play with the native OS (WebOS) for a little while longer before I install the latest alpha build of Android ICS. Since it will dual boot, unless I feel the need for lots of space I will probably run both until I decide which one I like better Dan On Feb 26, 2012, at 5:13 PM, Tim C wrote: On Feb 25, 2012 10:09 PM, Rick Knoble rickkno...@hotmail.com wrote: Came through fine.
