Thank you. I just installed cm7.1 and it is excellent!

Can I flash this with the 1.2 bootloader?

Edit: nope, just tested it out, you need to be on 1.1 bootloader to flash this rom as is.

The first thing I noticed is the status bar keeps force closing. Could just be me. I did wipe everything, installed the update, gapps, and google talk. Maybe I'm supposed to install only 1 version of gapps. BTW I am running boot loader 1.1 for those who might ask about it. After installing a few things, I notice my status bar just isn't there at all. I think I'll try installing only 1 version of the gapps and see if that helps.

Another edit. The google talk gapps file only has Talk.apk in it. The regular gapps has the regular google apk files. I tried wiping and installing the cm71 update + gapps and my status bar still force closes. So which file should I be installing?

Does this rom have hw acceleration and camera working?

Thanks

Aside from froyo rom, none of hardware acceleration in any GB/HC rom works.

as for camera, see the front post

From the first post in this thread, the first download link for cm71 shows 404 file not found. The second link to goo-inside.me shows "This page has been removed or never existed!"

From the official post, the first download link using download.cyanogenmod.com says 404 file not found.

From the official post, the second link works. I checked the md5sum and it matches so this is a good link.

thanks for the info. I think this info should be stated on the OP of every GB/HC rom. that way we would avoid that kind of questions of early adopter of the gtablet (like I just did)

after flash touch not work? WHY??? I try to reflash stock rom, full wipe and repartion SD but problem remains!

Having a few problems here....just noticed in the post above it only works on 1.1 boot.....can we confirm this? Because this might be my problem. I'm coming from Flashback and I'll have to NVflash back to 1.1 if so.
