[ROM][0.0.7.3]ICS CM9 ThinkPad Tablet (Alpha)

---

This a a CM9 Port for the Thinkpad Tablet made by Jon2555 and me. Its still under development, so you might run into bugs.

You are flashing this ROM on your own risk. It could eat your kittens, steal your breakfast or brick your device!

(Higher Resolution)

Requirements:
- A US, UK or WE device (Might also work on others)
- root (obviously)
- CWM

Installation:
- Download xxx.zip and put it on a sd-card
- Boot into CWM (Reboot and press Vol+)
- Make a nandroid backup in CWM!
- Make sure the backup worked!
- Full Wipe (May not be needed if you come from an earlier CM9 version)
- Flash zip in CWM

Restore HC:
- Boot into CWM (Reboot and press Vol+)
- Restore old nandroid backup

Working:
- Wifi
- Touchscreen + Stylus
- Bluetooth
- HW Acceleration
- Sound
- External Mouse
- Folio (mostly)
- VPN
- Hardware Button

Not Working
- Camera
- 3G
- HW Video Decoding (i.e. for Youtube HQ)
- No mount as USB/MTP

Known Bugs
- Wifi doesn't always reconnect to networks
- Trebuchet has wrong size and misses a few pixels
- Sometimes apps on the market are incompatible (see Play Store/Market)
- Sound doesn't mute when headphones are plugged in

Play Store/Market
Sometimes the market marks apps as incompatible. This happens randomly. If it happens to you try one (or more) of the following:

• http://forum.pocketables.net/showthread.php?p=80033
• http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...23&postcount=5
• Search here in xda for a hacked market and install it
• Reflash the whole ROM

Folio
The Folio works but some of the special keys don't. One problem with the Folio is, that there are different Keylayouts (i.e. UK, US) but without a different device ID. In the standard setup this ROM uses the UK layout, if you want to use a US layout, you have to delete a file:

su 
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm /system/usr/keychars/Vendor_1241_Product_0003_Version_0110.kcm

First!!!!.


On a more serious note, nice to see a more organised OP for the rom. I hope we can make more progress with the development.

I can confirm this version does fix any freezing that was happening due to the pen button bug. This version is also silky smooth thanks to Koshu's and Jon's hard work.

Also, a fix for trebuchet not displaying correctly is to use Apex Launcher highly recommend. It has additional features as well that in my opinion make it a better experience.

Yup, that problem was happening every 5-10 minutes, and just worked for two hours without any problem with .00731. Also, just on another note, there's that ever occurring problem of loss of pen strokes after like 5-10 minutes after which I have to replace the battery or lock/unlock the tablet before it continues to work. Is this now a hardware problem as I've had it since day 1, through all the updates and also this ROM now.

@yahoowizard

I had that issue since day once as well, and it happened just yesterday when I restored an early build (I think it was 005x but not sure). But I feel like since 006x I haven't had that issue.

I've used build 00731 (full wipe) with Quill and Lecture Notes for several hours today without that occurring. So yeah I'm not sure what causes that bug, but like I said above, I feel like it was fixed a few builds past.

Put this on last night. Not having any market issues (any problem apps you want me to check?)

Only problem I have now is Chrome Beta still crashes after a few seconds use?

Thanks for all the hard work!

Yeah it does... and it does this on my other devices, too. Its still a beta so lets fix things with chrome when its stable or when there is nothing else to do.

with full wipe the installation takes about 15 seconds, says its complete (really skeptical here). on boot, it shows the lenovo logo but wont boot up, tried for about 20 minutes now..

//got bootloop now. so i guess i cant really say how it works for me

A lenovo boot logo? Then something went totally wrong. I replaced the boot animation, means that there are still parts of stock HC on your tpt. You might want to recheck if the zip is downloaded and moved to your sdcard without errors and try again.

well, the very inital font saying 'lenovo', right after the vibration.

downloaded once more, which eventually led to the bootloop (156mb).. installed on top of the no bloat ota2.5, installed full wipe, installed just witch dalvic and chace wipe. no clue what went wrong really
