Do I need a task killer or should I just trust Android's way of handling background apps?

Download CM7 version. Copy and paste the zip file in the root via USB cable. Install it in clockword mod.
The original post of the Alpha 3 thread has a mention about how to install clockword mod post ACME + moboot install.
If I have some time on my hands, I'll do a write up how I installed it as somehow, the creators haven't put the effort in making an easy to read guide.

Why would you do that?

I'm assuming you installed Cyanogen with ACME? You install Clockworkmod the exact same way.
To install the Google Apps, download gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip from the link in claviertekky's post above me.
Then install the zip using the Clockworkmod Recovery. I think you might also be able to install it via ACME, but am unsure about that.

Same here. Touchpad OS works fine enough for me at the moment for what I use it for.
This method is confirmed as I did that.
If you put all three files (CM7, moboot, and clockwork mod zips) in the cminstall folder, ACME will find them and install it automatically.
Why would you do that?
Member
Did you re-install moboot? Not 100% sure, but I think you'll have to re-install Moboot for it to see the recovery.
Yes, but I'm unsure if you can install the Google Apps via ACME.

They really need to mirror it, because the download server is being HAMMERED.
Someone give it a try. I somehow doubt it since the readme didn't mention about ACME acknowledging the existence of the gapps file.
If it fails, then it's not a big deal to go to clockwork mod to install it.

Anyone have a mirror?
You can. I had them all in my cminstall folder upon installing the first alpha it worked fine.
All right, so it's confirmed.
Glad to see HP is continuing to update their software.
Anyone getting the speaker buzzing still? Mine is still popping up, it goes away on a reboot but it's worrying me that the speakers won't last long. It didn't happen before WebOS 3.0.4 I think so I'm hoping it's a bug, maybe 3.0.3.
Sad cause that's my main use is music streaming.

Been running Android as of yesterday.
No freezes so far.
Some of the native Google applications like Reader and the browser force close a lot, which seems typical of the Android experience judging from the comments in the app store.
Overall, everything seems to work as expected.
I would say this build is safe to try.
Skimming through this thread, I don't see an easy guide how to install, so if I feel like it, I'll write one up.

Oh wow, glad i'm not the only one that got that problem, I thought I blew my TouchPad speakers when I got that speakbuzz.
Mine has been fine after completely shutting it down and rebooting.
by reinstall, you mean alpha 3 and via acme?
http://www.howtogeek.com/76960/how-to-install-android-on-your-hp-touchpad/
So could I just follow this guide (old) and use Alpha 3 instead? Or is it completely outdated unless you start with Alpha 1?
Also had it happen once.

Yep.
Looks like I don't have to write a guide.
:lol
You can put the gapps in the same folder as cminstall, so you don't have to boot into clockwork mod in post-Android install.
Cool. Will have to wait until I'm charged since my battery is dead ATM.
The path to novacom is different from the path in pictures.
I found mine in C:\Program Files (x86)\Palm\SDK\bin
yes. i used novacom, acmeinstaller, and the cminstall folder. i honestly had no idea what i was doing but it worked as android is on the pad now lol.

anyone using the Nov. 8 updated version of Netflix?
just wondering if it's safe to update to the latest version or if it's still brokered on Touchpad?
edit: oh, it's telling my I *must* update now, so I guess I'll let ya know.
edit 2: yep, the latest version of Netflix does work on Alpha 3. For those wondering.

Clear your app data and retry.
Within android or the recovery screen or?
Ooh, alpha 3, nice.
I had an issue where my Touchpad refused to let me use WiFi at my place (Yet connected to my sister's without issue) on alpha 2, almost freezing the device when I tried to use the WiFi menu. I hope this sorts it.

Welcome to a post-webOS world!
This happened for me too, but then I was able to fix it with this:
1)Open up the Terminal app
2) type this into the terminal:
su
rm -rf /data/misc/wifi && reboot
what that basically does is wipe clean your wifi settings. I was having wifi problems since android first came on the TP, but I havn't run into a problem yet these last 3 days after doing this.
Thank you so much for chiming in, I'm going to try this out right away!
Update: It worked!
Update 2: It didn't work

I haven't kept up.

Boot into WebOS.

You couldn't stand...Firefox? Really? The WebOS browser is so unbelievably shitty even compared to the stock Gingerbread browser, but Firefox blows them all away. I wonder what you are doing which requires Flash, though.
