Pretty sure since I never touched the battery setting.
Tapping the clock/battery bar no longer shows the percentage.
Oh great.
Also reboot looks like it broke again in this version.
I could be wrong but I think the full wipe fixed that as well.

Wow flash video performance is greatly improved now too.
There's still an aliasing issue with all video, but whatever.

Tried CM9 Alpha 2 for about half an hour so far, and I gotta say, I'm seriously impressed. The blocky scaling is gone for good! I've been streaming a couple 1080p mkv files on a smb share over wifi and it's been butter smooth so far, it looks soo good! Didn't even need to overclock the CPU.

The devs are working crazy fast all of a sudden. I'm going to install Alpha 2 now even though I just installed Alpha 1 yesterday!
It's unlikely you will be able to do much about that. The devs seem to think the battery drain is related to the audio driver they are using which they're working to do away with. Until that's done I don't expect much to change battery wise.
I suggest changing your governor to Ondemand (in the Performance section of Settings or SetCPU etc) if you haven't already, it seems to be a bit more battery friendly than the Interactive governor it defaults to.

I've found that simply turning WiFi off manually when you don't need it on, and turning it on manually when you do solves most battery life problems.
Another good point seeing as though wifi can't currently sleep. Hopefully once the new wifi driver is finished most of these issues will be gone.
I'll try that for now although you're right that we can only wait for the new kernel.
Battery drain is still a problem.
update: I see that with OnDemand, the performance is not as fluid which probably explains why Interactive was the default.
I need wifi on all the time. This is not a phone.

Hardware acceleration is awesome. Watching mkv 720p videos with MX Video ? Check.
Does anyone know if the Touchpad is OTG capable ? If yes, which format of USB memory can we use ? (FAT32, NTFS, ext ?)

Where did the brightness bar go?

Lots of issues it seems with settings unless you do a full wipe. I wiped and Brightness bar etc came back.

Is there a way to do that without wiping WebOS?
MiloFoxburr
Member
Yeah just wipe data and cache in CWM. Won't touch WebOS files
Metalmurphy
Member
And then re-install the zip in CWM from the memory card right?
Got some backups to do. Hopefully it will fix all the problems. I also have no battery % display and I can't sync my calendar.

Just the wipe should suffice. But it wouldn't do any harm though to re-install the zip.

Sorry if this has been asked umpteen times, but If I wipe CM7 and install CM9 will all the apps I downloaded from the tore automatically download again?
Whats the best way of installing ICS and keeping as much content on there as possible?
Finally, I assume folders like, Music, Comics, Video are fine and I don't need to delete the data?

Hum, didn't work for some reason. Everything stayed the same.
*edit* Ok I'm stupid. The brightness bar is still there, I just didn't realize you can actually scroll the settings status bar now.
I still can't sync my Google calendar though. Anyone been able to do this?
Just download the zip file
Alpha 2 CM9 for Touchpad:

and install it with clockwork mod
The'll download again if you have a google backup account set up. And yes, media files should be fine.

Thanks for the reply dude! So what WILL I lose?
Looks like a clean install, is the way to go.
Metalmurphy
Member
You'll lose applications saved data, like settings, save games, etc. You can back that up by going into data\user\ and copy the folders of each apps.

Is there any hope of ICS eventually having at least 80% the battery life of WebOS?
Metalmurphy
Member
Where is it at now if not even 80%?
Thanks. Is that a paid app like KS (I bought the pay version)?

touch pad you can leave it on for 5 days and battery would be still there that was the case for me at least. I usually go back to webos for leaving it ideal. I still have not found many uses of android yet. I only use browser so I am very minority. Some games are good on android but i spent much on webos to buy more again lol.

I have no idea because I haven't modded my TouchPad, but I keep hearing people complain about CM7/CM9 battery life on here.
Metalmurphy

There's a free and a paid version. Free version is more then enough.

It will last you almost 2 days ideal and if you are using it 5-6 hours tops i think.

I'm frequently surprised by the popularity of Netflix and this thread only deepens my amazement.

I just went from CM7 to CM9, and I can't seem to find where to download the android market app? Any ideas?
Metalmurphy

You need to install gapps from CWM.
How so? Netflix is the most ubiquitous of all VOD companies. Yea, they dont have the latest stuff, but they have the most comprehensive catalog. Its so handy to have all my devices able to access Netflix at my whim.

I dunno if I got an answer for this before, but what's the deal with the different DPI settings in ICS?
mclaren777
Member
I've always known that people enjoy watching TV, but I'm just surprised by how deep that desire seems to be.
What do you mean by "what's the deal"? A lower DPI setting makes the screen look much better by making everything smaller in a sense. Basically makes it into a Touchpad HD. I have mine at 132 and its leaps and bounds above the standard DPI imo. PS, this is not an ICS thing. I have done it on every Android phone.
lunarworks
Member
Well, what is it set at by default, what is the recommended setting, and what sort of compatibility issues may I run across? (I have heard that changing the DPI setting causes some apps to complain.)

Just updated to CM9 and I agree with everyone that it's more smoother and nicer looking. CM7 had that sluggish feel to it. Battery seems to be worse though.
Don't start that shit here.

Default is 160, there's a zip you can install in CWM that changes it to 120. If you set it to anything else many apps won't show up on the market. Not sure what other compatibility issues there are.
I keep mine at 160, you don't gain that much space with a lower setting, and drawing fonts and icons smaller makes them more visibly pixellated on the relatively low res screen.
It hasn't received any updates since the first CM9 alpha release.
This is just not true. I gain a whole lot by making it 132 DPI. You have to also adjust the grid size using Nova Launcher. It's a pretty big change. Also, go into settings and increase the system font size.
