HP TouchPad CM10

Hi guys, I try to custom Dim Screen levels but it seems to stay everytime à 25.
Does anyone have the same issue ? Is there a way to fix it ?

Regards

Try using a free app called Root Dim. It will allow you to set custom brightness levels lower than Android normally allows for.

Watch the video about it Here:

Play Store Link:

Hi Roland!

I saw a link to your YouTubeChannel in first post so I would like to say first of all a big THX for all your clear and easy videos you have uploaded for our TouchPadCommunity. With your videos including all the descriptions and the downloadlinks it is much more comfortable for a foreigner to find the way into this helpful forum. :good:

In the video for installing Flash Player you gave an advice in the comments:

Maybe this would be the right time because adobe released Flash Player 11.1. for android 4.0 in version: 11.1.115.48 and for android 2 / 3 in v11.1.111.44. ;)

Hi, thanks for your feedback. I'm am very happy to hear my videos are helpful and easy to understand:good:

Thanks for the heads up on the Flash Players I have updated my download links. I will update the video sometime soon.

Flash for Android video:

I am not using a WiFi toggle, but do shut WiFi off when not using it... but don't get down that low. The lowest I get is about 19 mA, so no idea what the problem is.

I don't have anything installed out of the norm... other than Facebook and Amazon App Store. They seem to be the only 2 that run from time to time. Have the bare minimum syncing... just Google Contacts and Chrome.

I did the "dumpsys power" in Android Terminal and have 0 listed for the last two lines, which I understand as indicating if I have wakelocks.

What about location services? Do I uncheck the GPS and WiFi options in location?

There is much discussion on this topic now. Jcsullins says that the A6 firmware might be to blame here, its rather flaky.

Checkout this thread about fixing this issue here:

Ever since updating to the latest build, I've been having calendar problems. I had no problems prior to the update. Upon startup, Calendar crashes ("Unfortunately, calendar has stopped"). No Google calendars show as available in the app under my Google Account. Google Sync also says it's having problems, and Calendar is no longer an option for syncing. I've tried clearing Calendar data, reinstalling GApps, removing and re-adding my Google account, wiping caches, and fixing permissions, but none of it helps. Any idea how to fix this short of wiping and reinstalling? Thanks for any assistance!

Try Settings->Manage Apps. Find calendar storage and clear data. This works sometimes, but I don't know if it's permanent, although others have said it is.

Thanks for the response! There isn't a calendar storage entry to erase. I see contacts storage, settings storage, etc, but no calendar storage. Any other ideas?

Assuming u installed previously with. AcmeInstaller3 (to get 400mb system partition size)...This will wipe all your setup (clean install).
Reformat /system, /data & /cache with jc's Cwm6 then reflash Cm10 & correct Gapps. Reboot. Re-setup your accounts & apps. check it again.

note: your link with all the 4 files in one zip does not contain the current build. The left side links to the older build while the rightside links to the newer build. I got bad luck and clicked the right side.


I flashed it without looking. Guess I have to update it now.

Took me a few minutes to figure out what he was talking about, but he's right RolandDeschain.
The left side of the ( ) in the Cm10 link is for the 12/16/12 version and the right side is for the 03/04/13 version. I will delete the 'l' from url so its more apparent

CM10.1 on the HP TouchPad

Hello HP TouchPad users, Great News! SGA has recently posted a build of CM 10.1 for the HP TouchPad with working sound and SDcard. Its almost fully functional minus the Bluetooth. This build lacks some H/W video acceleration but XDA member webdroidmt reports that the latest Adreno drivers fix this problem and it will likely be included into the next build. I am also seeing reasonable battery drain during sleep, as low as -5ma but with the usual spiking. This is a testing build so lets get testing! Please thank and leave SGA some feedback in his thread below.

Big thanks to SGA, jcsullins and drmarble, who all contributed to making this build. Its officially, unofficial, CM10.1 is working on the HP TouchPad!

Re: [ROM] [03/04] How to install jcsullins CM10 Unofficial Preview Builds Edited 3/1

This is also important to hear: This just happened to webdroidmikemt earlier today.

@SGA,

Sorry to report that I am now going back to my CM10 nandroid. Actually, I'm happy that I can still do that. The test build was working great, I was able to get everything working well even with a dirty flash over my current CM10.

Everything I reported earlier was working properly, albeit a bit laggy at times, I suspect because with my dirty flash I had the full complement of apps. In addition to what I posted working in my earlier post, HBO GO also was working and I was able to get the mic working in Google Now without disabling Hotword Detection.

Anyway...the joy ended about an hour ago. I let it sit for a while and when I went to turn it on, I was greeted with the big battery icon/outlet plug. I couldn't get it to turn on with all the various button combos, so I let it sit on the AC charger for a while but it still didn't come back. Btw, when I put it down the battery was at 97%. I have since recovered from this, thanks to my Samsung Galaxy Player AC charger coming to the rescue.

Just wanted to make you aware that this is a possibility, so I would guess caution is advised. But then again, isn't it always with test roms?. 

Thanks again,
Mike T

Yes, there is a warning that the build I posted earlier mostly sleeps very nicely @ -4mA and sometimes forgets what it is doing and doesn't sleep at all @ -600mA. Which is why it is testing build for the curious at the moment :D

I've been curiously poking and prodding this fine Rom with all manner of test. So far I find its working well:fingers-crossed:

I'm aware of the risk and have taken note of webdroidmts feedback but I am happy to cautiously test out this great CM10.1 Rom.

Thanks so much for working on this Rom, i'm thrilled to see so much development happening on our HP Touchpads. :good:

I've started a thread to compile information about the CM10.1 Rom. Information gets lost very quickly in the threads and I give people a stern warning. I've found battery drain during sleep to be pretty good so far. I have attached a screenshot of the last few hours sleep history.

    General Unofficial Release Notes:
    Working:
    -Sound and Mic
    -Camera
    -H/W Video
    -WiFi and Bluetooth
    -Most builds have a Low to medium battery drain during sleep -4mA to -10mA or -4mA to -30mA(See below)

    Known Issues:
    -Flashing CM9/CM10 Over CM10.1/Android4.2/4.3 through CWM or TWRP, can cause a boot loop.(use a Backup)
    If your HP TouchPad is stuck in a boot loop or not responding Don't Panic! Try the following:
    -Hold down the Power and Home buttons together for 30sec to force the TouchPad to Reboot.
    -Hold down the Power button and click the Home key 14 times.
    -Doing an install with ACMEInstaller can sometimes result in a boot loop.
    -To fix the boot loop, Use a backup or flash the Rom and Gapps package through CWM or TWRP.

    The usual HP TouchPad battery drain issues:
    -If your battery is heavily drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
    -When the battery is fully drained it can take the TP a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
    -The USB cable that comes with the HP TP is often defective and breaks easily. Try using another USB cable if possible.
    -The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.
    -To be safe don't let your TouchPad run out of Batteries ever!!
    -You can add an automatic shutdown Rule
    -AutomateIt, Play Store Link- What to do: New Rule/Trigger Battery level(Below 20%)/Action/Shutdown//save. Or

    How to install Android on the HP Touchpad "The Easy Way"

    Hello and welcome to the full "Easy Way" guide for installing Android on the HP TouchPad.

    1) Start by downloading and Installing both Java and the Novacom Software onto your PC or Mac Computer. These files are required before doing the next step.

    Note(Important) If you have previously installed an older version of Android its recommended to do a full Uninstall before Reinstalling with the instructions here. If you wish to upgrade your version of Android please read this thread here:

    Note(Important)You may need to disable your Antivirus/Firewall software before installing Java and the Novacom software. If you unable to install Android from the dos prompt in step 4, then you will need to redo this step.

    a]Download Java

    Download and run the Universal Novacom Installer 1.4.1 here:
    Note: You will need to have Java installed to run the Universal installer, click here:
    Note: You may need to reboot after installing this software.

    Or

    Download, extract and install the appropriate version of Novacom for your OS here:
    Note: Under Linux the Novacom driver is installed at /opt/Palm run it from this location.


    2)The Novacom software you installed will create a new folder called Palm, Inc. You will need to place the ACMEInstaller5/5E/5M and ACMEUninstaller2 files into this Palm, Inc folder. By default this folder will be located on your PC @ C:/Program Files/ Palm, Inc. Mac OS X users will find this folder @ /opt/nova/bin. Download the files and copy and paste them right into either of these directories.

    a] ACMEInstaller5 (Install CM7, CM9, CM10, or Flash .zips located in the cminstall folder)

    b] ACMEInstaller5E (Install Evervolv AOSP Android, or Flash .zips located in the cminstall folder)

    c] ACMEInstaller5M (Install CM10.1,CM10.2, or Flash .zips located in the cminstall folder)

    d] ACMEUninstaller2 (uninstalls Android and removes recovery, All versions)

    Click the picture to see the default location:

    Note: Mac OS X users will enter the commands without the ".exe" extension.

    -You will see the lines of text scrolling on the HP TouchPad while CyanogenMod is installing. Now disconnect the USB cable from the HP TouchPad.
    Once this is complete you will be greeted with the Moboot menu and CyanogenMod will boot for the first time. You will be taken through a series of menus to setup the device.
    Congratulations you have now installed Android onto your HP TouchPad, Have Fun.


    Note(Important) If you're unable to install Android and get a message like "failed to connect to server" you may have encountered a problem when installing either Java or Novacom. Try to uninstall and reinstall both of those programs. You may need to disable your Antivirus or firewall software, this could be blocking the connection to your PC. If its still not working try another computer or laptop, this fixes the problem 99% of the time.

    CyanogenMod package contents explained:
    -You will need 4 files to install CyanogenMod. The first two files can vary depending on the version you choose to install. CyanogenMod 9 is used here for Example:

    1)update-cm-9-20130929-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip (Installs your Android Operating System)
    2)update-gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip (Installs your Gapps Package, Play Store & Applications)
    3)moboot_038-tenderloin.zip(Installs your Boot Menu options)
    4)update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215.zip (Installs ClockWorkMod6 recovery)


    Notes, Fixes and Tweaks:
    Note:The following are Solutions for the most Frequently asked questions and problems.

    1)If the WiFi turns off in Sleep/suspend mode then uncheck wifi optimization.
    Note:Turning off "WiFi optimization" might help to improve WiFi functionality.
    -Settings/WiFi/3 Dots/Advanced/WiFi optimization (uncheck)
    -In Shumash's Schizoid build you can find it @ RomControl/General

    2)If the HP TouchPad isn't charging do the following. If MTP is already checked,then uncheck and recheck the option.
    -To Enable MTP mode, Go to settings/storage, look for the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen, tap computer connection, make sure there is a check next to MTP.
    -This will enable the TouchPad to transfer files and charge using the USB cable.

    3)If your Touchpad skips moboot and boots right into Android, then do the following:
    -Hold the home key while booting to force moboot to display the Menu.
    -To fix this problem use a Rooted File explorer, like X-plore, to delete the moboot.next file located @ Root/Boot/
    -This problem is often caused by using the CyBoot app in WebOS.

    4)Turning off "network location services" might help to improve overall battery drain and longevity.
    -Settings/location access/ access to my location set to off
    -You may wish to monitor your battery drain history during sleep.
    -Install the the free app Battery Monitor Widget:
    -To setup the Battery Calibration correctly for the HP TouchPad,
    -go to BMW settings/calibration/Battery capacity/ and set it to either 6300 (F29C) or 5800 (S29C) and tap OK
    -Note* See the Battery p/n # on the original packaging.
    Or
    You can also use Cool-Tools to monitor your battery drain in real time.
    -Watch the instructional video Here.

    5)You can enable additional reboot options like recovery by enabling Developer options.
    -Go to Settings/About Tablet/ Tap on "Build number" 7 times.
    -A new menu will appear in the Settings/About Tablet/Developer options/ tab on the left.
    -Check "Advanced reboot" to get the Recovery/Boot loader options.

    6) When installing Roms and .zips with the ACMEInstaller3, you may need to add "update-" to the beginning of the file names or they won't flash correctly. Like so "update-cm-10.1-20130808-EXPERIMENTAL-tenderloin-BLUETOOTH_TEST.zip"

    7)If Moboot is displaying multiple Rom or recovery names that you are not currently using, then do the following.
    -With a rooted File explorer go to root/boot/ and delete the unwanted uImage.( X) file to remove the entry from Moboot.
    -Here you can also change the default boot option by editing the moboot.default as text.

    10/19/2013 Builds based on Jcsullins CM10 that include the Master key exploit fixes: By iMark90


    The Problem: A Master key security exploit issue was discovered in CM9/CM10 that was later fixed in all Android 4.2+ builds. However this still effects many HP TouchPad CM10 builds. You can test for these exploits by installing and running the Bluebox security test App here.

    The solution: RootzWiki member iMarck90 has included the Master key fixes into two new builds of Jcsullins CM10. These builds by iMarck90 are entirely based on the fantastic work of Jcsullins, Dorregaray, and Dr Marbel, et al. Install these new CM10 builds by dirty flashing them over your current build of CM9/CM10.

    Note:In addition to these fixes iMarck90 has included all the current upstream changes like, Jcsullins newer WiFi drivers V4.5 and Bluetooth fixes.

    Troubleshooting:

    Notes, Fixes and Tweaks:
    Note:The following are Solutions for the most Frequently asked questions and problems.

    1)If the WiFi turns off in Sleep/suspend mode then uncheck wifi optimization.
    Note:Turning off "WiFi optimization" might help to improve WiFi functionality.
    -Settings/WiFi/3 Dots/Advanced/WiFi optimization (uncheck)
    -In Shumash's Schizoid build you can find it @ RomControl/General

    2)If the HP TouchPad isn't charging do the following. If MTP is already checked,then uncheck and recheck the option.
    -To Enable MTP mode, Go to settings/storage, look for the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen, tap computer connection, make sure there is a check next to MTP.
    -This will enable the TouchPad to transfer files and charge using the USB cable.

    3)If your Touchpad skips moboot and boots right into Android, then do the following:
    -Hold the home key while booting to force moboot to display the Menu.
    -To fix this problem use a Rooted File explorer, like X-plore, to delete the moboot.next file located @ Root/Boot/
    -This problem is often caused by using the CyBoot app in WebOS.

    4)Turning off "network location services" might help to improve overall battery drain and longevity.
    -Settings/location access/ access to my location set to off
    -You may wish to monitor your battery drain history during sleep.
    -Install the the free app Battery Monitor Widget:
    -To setup the Battery Calibration correctly for the HP TouchPad,
    -go to BMW settings/calibration/Battery capacity/ and set it to either 6300 (F29C) or 5800 (S29C) and tap OK
    -Note* See the Battery p/n # on the original packaging.
    Or
    You can also use Cool-Tools to monitor your battery drain in real time.
    -Watch the instructional video Here.

    5)You can enable additional reboot options like recovery by enabling Developer options.
    -Go to Settings/About Tablet/ Tap on "Build number" 7 times.
    -A new menu will appear in the Settings/About Tablet/Developer options/ tab on the left.
    -Check "Advanced reboot" to get the Recovery/Boot loader options.

    7)If Moboot is displaying multiple Rom or recovery names that you are not currently using, then do the following.
    -With a rooted File explorer go to root/boot/ and delete the unwanted uImage.( X) file to remove the entry from Moboot.
    -Here you can also change the default boot option by editing the moboot.default as text.
    -Also you can change the default recovery option by editing android.default.recovery

    8)If you are unable to find the Play Store after you install Android, then you will need to reflash your gapps package. Click Here for the how to video!

    9)If you are unable to find the camera app install this Nexus 7 Camera Launcher:

    Bricking, Boot Loops, Help & Fixes(Important):

    If your HP TouchPad is stuck in a boot loop or not responding Don't Panic! Try the following:
    -Hold down the Power and Home buttons together for 30sec to force the TouchPad to Reboot.
    -Hold down the Power button and click the Home key 14 times.
    -If you're stuck in a boot loop restore a back or do a fresh install, Click here for a how to Video:
    -Dirty flashing older builds (CM9/CM10) over newer builds (CM10.1/CM10.2) will result in Boot loops.
    -If this happens use your backup or do a fresh install, Click here for a how to Video:
    -Doing an install with ACMEInstaller can sometimes result in a boot loop. Use a backup or flash the Rom and Gapps package through CWM or TWRP.

    If your TouchPad seems bricked and won't turn on:
    -If your battery has been fully drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
    -When the battery is fully drained it can take the TouchPad a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
    -The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.
    -After charging the HP TouchPad for a full day try holding down, home + power + volume down for 30+ seconds.
    -If the tablet does not turn on after the previous steps it may be bricked and you will need to run the TPDebrick procedure found in the thread below:
    Developer Jcsullins has posted a thread "TPDebrick v0.4" dedicated to helping people with bricked HP TouchPads(Important):
    Note* All debricking questions should be posted here!

    If you ran the WebOS doctor but it got stuck at 8-12% follow the instructions in the threads below:

    How to Change the DPI settings for CM10:
    -If your home screen looks a little off then you may wish to change the DPI/LCD density.

    Note: Setting the DPI to something other than 160 or 120 can cause compatibility issues with the Google Play Store. If you are unable to download and install apps then change the DPI to 160 or 120.
    You can change the DPI settings either by using a free LCD app or by editing the build prop. The two apps below will do the job.

    Resolution change / Density, DPI Play Store Link:
    or
    Try editing the build prop with an easy to use free app.

    How and when to Use the WebOS Doctor(Important):

    Q: What’s the WebOS Doctor and when should I use it?

    The WebOS Doctor is a program that has two main functions for HP TouchPad users. It can either update your version of WebOS or fix problems with a damaged WebOS by completely reinstalling it. If WebOS no longer boots or apps and preware have stopped working correctly, then you will need to resinstall WebOS with the Doctor. A failed or interrupted attempt at changing the partition sizes with WebOS preware app Tailor may cause these problems. To check what version of WebOS is currently installed go to Launcher(Up Arrow)/Settings/Device Info/ Version

    Note(Important): You MUST uninstall Android before running the WebOS doctor. Failing to remove Android before running the Doctor can result in the process becoming stuck at 8-12% and potentially bricking the device. If you are currently stuck visit the thread below for information about fixing the problem. If you’re unable to use the tablet at all follow the instructions in Jcsullins TPDebrick thread.
    The Official Fix your TouchPad ( 8-12% stopped, No SD, Opps reformat, $&^#!@&# crap....) thread.(Rootzwiki)
    The Official Fix your TouchPad ( 8-12% stopped, No SD, Opps reformat, $&^#!@&# crap....) thread.(CM)
    TPDebrick v004 - Jcsullins dedicated thread for fixing Bricked TouchPads:

    Note(Important): Running the Doctor will completely wipe all personal information, applications and preware from the TouchPad. Media like music and movies will not be affected. However I would recommend backing your important files to PC, before running the Doctor.

    Note(Important): In order to install apps from the WebOS store you will need to get the Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services.
    [Video+Guide] HP TouchPad Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services


    How to run the WebOS Doctor:

    1) Install Java
    -Java must be installed in order for the TouchPad to communicate with your PC.

    2) You MUST completely uninstall Android from the HP TouchPad before running the WebOS doctor. Remove Android by running the ACMEUinstaller2. Watch the following video for full uninstall instructions.

    Rom Flashing issues with CWM5 (Important):
    The Problem:
    -Developer Green has advised that using CWM5 to install(flash) a nightly or format the /data and /system partitions, may introduce corruption into the file system.
    -It is advised to avoid updating though CWM5 for this reason.
    -By installing Jcsullins new CWM6 you can avoid future corruption.(Included)
    -CWM6 Download:
    -Updating your Rom with CWM5 can cause the inode errors seen in double penguin mode while installing with the ACEMEInstaller3.
    -Due to corruption introduced from flashing/Updating Roms though CWM5, your system partition may have errors.

    The Solution: (Also a safe way to upgrade from CM9-CM10)
    -Uninstalling CyanogenMod with the ACMEUninstaller and freshly installing with the ACMEInstaller 3 will resolve any possible issues.
    -To avoid problems when updating from CM9-CM10 you should first make a full Nandroid backup, then uninstall CM9.
    -Next Fully install CM9 using the ACMEInstaller3.
    -Once Complete restore your CM9 Nandroid backup,
    -Now you can safely update from CM9- CM10 with the ACMEInstaller3 or
    -You can also safely flash the CM10 Rom and gapps package with CWM6.
    -It’s fine to flash regular.zip files through CWM5; such as gapps files, fixes/patches and CWM6.zip These will not cause corruption and are safe for daily flashing.
    -Use CWM6 from now on Download:
    -Note* CWM6 has already been included for everyone using this guide to install CyanogenMod for the first time.

    Partition Size Problems and ACMEInstaller3(Important):

    The Problem:
    -CM10 requires a larger partition size than CM9.
    -The ACMEInstaller 3 is meant to increase the partition size from 300MB to 400MB.
    -CM9 only needed 300MB but Jelly Bean is a larger Rom and requires more space(350MB).
    -In some cases users have reported 0.0/400MB of space left after installing CM10.
    -Although everything may still run fine it is recommend to leave at least a little space free. The consequences of running it without free space are not known.

    How to monitor free System Storage space with CM10(Optional):
    -You can use a free app,Quick System Info PRO, to check the size of your partitions and remaining free space, it should be = 387MB or 402MB. Either of these is acceptable and indicates that the ACMEInstaller3 worked correctly.
    -Having a system size of 387Mib = 400MB and is perfectly normal after using ACME3
    -Users report having a size of 394 after flashing to a new Rom. This is also acceptable.
    -If your partition is an odd size or you get random reboots,then you may have encountered problems due to flashing you Rom.

    Quick System Info PRO Video Link:
    Quick System Info PRO Play Store Link:

    -If you use the ACMEInstaller3 and then later restore your Nandroid backup of CM9, you will still retain the larger partition size.
    -You can then use CWM or TWRP to safely flash from CM9-CM10 but flashing from CM10-CM9 can cause a boot loop.

    How to free up System Storage space with CM10(Optional):
    I believe I have located about 15.89MB of data we can safely delete. Android in space videos and Phone Ring tones are located @
    root/system/media/videos & root/system/media/audio/ring tones.

    X-plore File Manager, use this app to delete the files:

    Note* X-plore needs to be given Root Permissions by clicking the 3 dots in the corner and choosing configuration. Here check your Root Access settings. SuperUser + Mount Writable, this is what it should say. Next you may need to reboot before it takes effect.

    [Video] How to fix the A6 firmware Battery Drain Problem on the HP TouchPad

    The Problem:
    Developer James Sullins, Aka Jcsullins, has informed HP TouchPads users that there is a problem with Touchpads A6 Firmware. This issue can cause an usually high battery drain during sleep. This problem occurs overtime while running both CyanogeMod and WebOS, on the HP TouchPad. As a results the Touchpads battery drains more quickly with daily use and the overall life span is reduced.

    The Solution:
    Reflashing the A6 Firmware effectively fixes the problem but may need to be repeated as a part of regular HP TouchPad maintenance. Watch this video and follow the step by step instructions to reflash your own Touchpads A6 Firmware.

    How to Reflash the A6 Firmware

    updated Wifi drivers to test

    I'm back with some NEW WIFI DRIVERS TO TEST:

    The version I uploaded last week had the following issues that I hope are now fixed:

    - A deadlock bug with caused SODs (sleeps of death).

    - Setting "Keep Wif on during sleep" to "always" would not keep the wifi connected during sleep.

    I've also enabled "firmware crash recovery" which might help those very rare people seeing wifi firmware crashes.

    Install with recovery: http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/update-cmtp-ath6kl-v20130721-test.zip

    Note that the above should only be installed on my latest CM10 or latest CM9. For others (i.e. CM10.1), the following

    CM10.1 on the HP TouchPad

    Hello HP TouchPad users, Great News! SGA has recently posted a build of CM 10.1 for the HP TouchPad with working sound and SDcard. Its almost fully functional minus the Bluetooth. This build lacks some H/W video acceleration but XDA member webdroidmt reports that the latest Adreno drivers fix this problem and it will likely be included into the next build. I am also seeing reasonable battery drain during sleep, as low as -5ma but with the usual spiking. This is a testing build so lets get testing! Please thank and leave SGA some feedback in his thread below.

    Big thanks to SGA, jcsullins and drmarble, who all contributed to making this build. Its officially, unofficial, CM10.1 is working on the HP TouchPad!
