Hi all. I reinstalled CM7 on my TouchPad last night. I'm not new to Android. I first installed it on my HTC Tilt a few years ago and I have owned several Android devices. However, webOS has been my primary mobile OS since the Pre was released. With webOS news getting bleaker and bleaker everyday, I decided it was time to get back into Android.
I've used CM7 for 24 hours now. Here are my observations:
It is rock solid stable. I don't understand why it is still an alpha. The CM team must have very high standards.
It boots very fast and is very swift. Everything runs as smooth as butter.
Here are my problems:
Bluetooth is not working with my truck's radio. It keeps giving me an invalid key error but it doesn't allow me to enter a key.
Android Market crashes almost every time I open it.
The space bar on the keyboard is PITA. It is hard to hit and doesn't register sometimes.
I installed ADW Launcher EX, completely replacing the default launcher. I'm having issues with EX when I restart it or change the theme. The menus, widgets, and icons get fatter for some reason, like the resolution is off. Everything fixes itself when I plug the TouchPad in. Its weird. The dock also disappears sometimes.
The screen is off center (orientated to low) for Asphalt 5.
What I need help with:
I need a good replacement for Communities (tapatalk client). So far I haven't found one. I like being able to display the threads I have posted in.
A keyboard similar to the look and feel of the TouchPad's webOS keyboard.
Is there a way to skin the default calendar? It looks hideous and it is one of the apps I use a lot.
Is there an app that centralizes all of my email without routing my accounts through gmail (a major security violation for my company).
Is there a video player/server similar to KalemSoft Media Player/server or a decent upnp program? I need to link to my media on my computer.
Quick question: Is there a tablet version of the Kindle App? I like the page animations and book spine from the webOS version.
Android issues: Almost all of the apps that have webOS equivalents look better in webOS.
