For those of you who are using alpha 3, you may notice a current slew of bugs and an interface that leaves a bit to be desired. Good news is, there's a developer who's been fiddling with the alpha and making it "better". Better youtube support, better video in netflix, better responsiveness, better support right out-of-the-box. Install this and you'll automatically have the right google apps installed for your tablet, e-mail will work out of the box (with notifications when you receive new email), google marketplace will work out of the box, google talk will work out of the box, the keyboard is more responsive, everything looks nicer (it uses a nice honeycomb theme), and battery life is significantly improved.
A bunch of apps come pre-installed and are set-up to work, for example the google apps, facebook, and a handful of other useful things. This means the device is pretty well ready for use out of the box without any tweaking necessary.
[vB1.2][CM7 XRON-ified][CM7.1 Alpha 3][Updated 12/7/2011] - xda-developers
Just do it.
(ASSUMING YOU ALREADY HAVE ALPHA 3 INSTALLED, OR SOME OTHER ALPHA ANDROID)
Step 1: Download the file at the link above. (grab the most updated version, right now it's vB1.2 as of 12/9/2011)
Step 2: Toss that file onto your touchpad (just put it into USB mode and toss it on the device).
Step 3: Reboot the touchpad into clockwork management.
Step 4: Perform a backup of your current device (there's a backup/restore button, make a backup - it'll only take a few minutes and it'll allow you to return the device to the way it was if you for some odd reason prefer to).
Step 5: Perform a factory wipe (the option is there in clockworkmod). WARNING - this will effectively wipe all your apps etc that you have installed and you will be forced to reinstall everything - demonhighwayman says you can actually install this zip WITHOUT doing a factory wipe and maintain all your existing apps etc, I have not personally tested this and cannot vouch for it - YMMV, upgrade without following this step at your own risk.
Step 6: Choose the install from zip option, and install the xron-ified zip file.
Step 7: Reboot into android and enjoy a superior experience.
It's the best android experience available on the touchpad at-present. Give it a shot and I think you'll agree.
