this rom is a pretty cool concept! hope the OP decides to continue development...
^^^^^
Am I assuming correctly that installing Cornerstone will wipe any existing Nightly Build?
Yup, it brought me from Oct14 nightly back to May8 I think :D Everything else is still there, (all apps, settings, data, layouts etc. ) though I didn't do a wipe
Yes. I think Cornerstone can only come as part of a ROM; it can't be separately installed.

Is there any other way we can get cornerstone? Is this all we have.... super outdated one? AOKP gone :( Cornerstone gone :(
Other than "ROM control" menu from what I've seen, what other differences are there btw this ROM and the AOKP one ? sorry dumb question :3
FWIW, someone could always update the sources and build a new one of these. No need for nightlies much(right now) anyways..

I sure wish we could get an update on this. But as far as the advice to not install it? I've been using it exclusively on my Touchpad for 3-4 months...pretty stable (still random reboots once a week or so...not sure why, but rare enough to overlook), HIGHLY functional. Would like to get an update, but can't give up my Cornerstone!

So I say, if Cornerstone looks/sounds appealing, go ahead & go for it...I don't care how old the ROM is, I still think it's the most functionality I can get out of my TP.

Just my $0.02
(from somebody who has actually installed & used it for quite a while)

Highly ditto woodpiledad :D
I just installed it yesterday and love it so far, despite the bugs. I had issue w/ BT not recognizing my mouse, reflash and it's all good. Feel much more like using a computer now, with mouse/kb and 3-5 apps displayed simultaneously :victory:

- The biggest bug I have would be the status bar in particular, or some system information like wifi/BT, not updating (almost late for my exam looking at TP's time lol)

- Another bug is whenever there's a pop-up error notification (eg. "unfortunately, xxxx has stopped." ), I can't click on [OK]. This is fixed w/ an extra step of pushing the physical home button, then I can click on [OK]
- BT: now my BT moue is running like a champ, it doesn't seem to disconnect or just reconnect seamlessly. BT Keyboard though, may have problem reconnecting, may require toggling BT on/off. Not a big issue, I felt like BT works even better than the latest nightlies, but that could be just me.
- Wifi: also seems to work better. no random disconnect/reconnect
- Battery: much better now since wifi actually gets toggled off when TP enters sleep mode (and toggles on, when TP wakes up, consistently) It was at 85% in the morning (~8hrs)

Other than that. My mind is blown D:: Thanks all devs for bringing this to the community and hopefully development will continue under one form or another :/

Is there any IRC chat room you guys hang out at ? :3
Thanks for any input !

I'm just wonder is there anyone using this as their daily rom?

I am, but if you're reading my message above, you'll see I'm not the only one.
I don't know how to fix the no-system-info-update issue (only after running Cornerstone). But not everyone has the same bug.
Other than that, I can totally live w/ it. The tradeoffs are worth it. Once you got a hand on it, you prolly won't want to go back lol. The feature is just unique and practical.
Give it a try, you can always restore your nandroid backup.

    VIDEO REVIEW:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na-iugam4eQ&feature=youtu.be


    Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your device due to flashing this ROM! Flash at your own risk!

    Special thanks to the CM9 team, AOKP team, and Onskreen!

    Extra special thanks to zanderman112 for the video review and new screenshots! :D

    This is more-or-less a straight kang of CM9 and AOKP for the HP Touchpad with Onskreen's Cornerstone baked in. If you're not familiar with Cornerstone, check out http://www.onskreen.com/cornerstone/

    In a nutshell, Cornerstone is a Android modification that allows for true multitasking. Not the "Press the Back button to go to the previous app"-type of multitasking, but actually being able to have 3 applications running at once. Cornerstone utilizes the additional screen real estate on tablets to keep up to 3 applications on your screen at one time. It's kind of hard to understate what a different experience Android is using Cornerstone. Check out the screenshots to see what I mean!

    Cyanogen himself is using it and loves it, and is trying to incorporate it into CM9, although there are some roadblocks: https://plus.google.com/u/0/100275307499530023476/posts/ViCME1bb8F6 Having said that, Cornerstone isn't perfect- there are still some rough edges to iron out, and porting it to the Touchpad was a little tricky, but it should be

    BUGS:
    - All the known CM9 bugs (i.e. no camera)
    - Wifi is buggy for some (see comments below) (FIXED)
    - Bluetooth (?)
    - Recent apps out of focus in landscape (looking into it)
    - Changing the DPI messes with the CSPanel (although the functionality remains intact) (FIXED)
    - Videos will not run with the CSPanel active, you'll need to minimize it for full screen (FIXED)
    - Some apps get "stuck"- either rotate landscape to portrait or vice versa, or close Cornerstone and launch it again (FIXED)
    - The Home selection menu is buggy- working on a fix (FIXED)
    - Probably others

    UPCOMING/TO-DO'S:
    - Wifi fix (FIXED)
    - You tell me

    CHANGELOG:

    RC 1.6
    - Synced to CM9 repo 5/7/12- Now supports themes! (Note: CM7 themes do install and can be chosen from the Themes tab in Settings, however they make not look exactly the same as they did on CM7. Ask your themer to update the theme for CM9 for best results!)
    - Updated wifi firmware for ath6kl (cherry pick of change 11/15011/2)
    - Disabled Cornerstone on bootup. This is to fix the wifi issue- yes I can confidently say that this fixes the wifi issue. To start Cornerstone, you will need to manually press the application icon. (Thanks to OaT and viskon for pointing that out!)


    RC 1.5
    - Fixed disappearing taskbar
    - Fixed FC's


    RC 1.4
    - Synced to CM9 repo 4/24/12
    - Ported WebCM9 to Cornerstone for even more multitasking goodness! (Special thanks to tbob18!!!) See this thread for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1514235

    Full hardware video acceleration! (Special thanks to jcsullins!)

    (Note: the AOKP version is Beta so expect some bugs. However, it is stable enough for daily use. Also, wifi works MUCH better on this ROM- no need for Rohan's Mod. Known issues so far: Lock screen is currently not working in AOKP Beta 1- if you absolutely need a lock screen, this is not the ROM for you!)

    132dp patch: http://www.mediafire.com/?vhgn2p6ypr40pc3
    (Note: Since Rohan has apparently discontinued the 132dp version of his Supreme Mods patch, if you plan on using his mod, first flash the Cornerstone patch, then Rohan's 120dp or 160 dp patch, then you will manually have to change your build.prop to 132dp. It's a pain, I know, but I don't want to use or modify Rohan's patch until I get his approval.)

    Hey everyone I apologize for the lack of updates the past few weeks. I just started a new job so haven't had as much time to devote to Android. I'll be working on CS though this weekend so I should have something for everyone next week.

    On a slightly different note, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all of your support during the making of this ROM. It really does mean a lot to me and I would probably not be here today without the support. My XDA RD application recently got rejected, but rather than being bitter about it it made me realize that I'm developing for the community, not for a silly title (actually I just wanted the RD status for more hosting solutions, but that's a different story). Nonetheless, it hasn't affected my desire to develop ROMs- in fact it makes me want to spend more time developing. So thanks again everyone for your support.

    Hello everyone, I apologize for the lack of updates. Believe me when I say that development has not stopped and this ROM is not dead. In fact, I am in the process of pushing my Touchpad commits upstream, so hopefully if approved, there will be future support for the Touchpad with little/no changes to the code. This will make Touchpad development much easier for everyone.

    Now even if those changes are approved, the real issue at this point is that Cornerstone does not support Android 4.0.4. I've been working through each of the compile errors manually, but it's a slow and tedious process. I've also been working with the Onskreen devs directly to resolve some of the issues. I can't give an ETA yet, but I think I'm close. Once that happens, though, you should see Cornerstone development pick up again and hopefully see it on all your favorite ROMs. :)

    HUGE updates coming tomorrow. ;)
