Does this work well?

CM7 works really good, that's all I use. I haven't booted to WebOS for months and months now

CM9 will be better

So you are using CM7 dual booted with WebOS?



Do you have a good link for how to root it like that?

Oh yeah sure

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10121-releasealpha35cyanogenmod-touchpad/

At the "Downloads" section that's where you can download the rom for cm7 (use alpha 3.5) there's also a readme with the installer and there's a link to a video on how to install it right above it as well

It's somewhat of a complicated process but if you're stuck at something I'll try to help

CM7 with dual boot is great. The only issues that still bug me are wifi related..

CM9 with no video? I will probably wait. I use my touchpad to watch movies quite a bit. If they get video working I'll upgrade. Those folks at CM are amazing though so maybe they'll get it

that is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard about mobile tech....webos is easily the best OS so far on mobile devices as far as usability and functionality

I dislike that they utilize special effects in the video instead of simply showing what the thing is capable of. Leads me to wonder what all is real and what isn't.


that said I'll be upgrading once I remember to tongue

the touch sensitivity is clearly crappy in the video as well....but its not even a beta yet so that's to be expected

I see that they added Droid X support with CM 7.1

Why should I do it?

What advantages do I gain by rooting?

Remove bloatware.

You control updates not the cell phone provider or manufacturer.

Overclocking extends the useful life of your device.

Most importantly, because cause you can

Oh they said they won't release CM9 until they get video working, I'd probably pass it until it got that too. Wifi is going to take time to improve on as the same drivers are also used in the WebOS kernal, and it regrettably sucks. Those will take some tweaking until they're perfect

CM9 won't have camera for a while when it is released (not that the one for CM7 was any good either)

*bump*

Alpha version is out

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15509-releasealpha0-cyanogenmod-9-touchpad/

Very awesome. A really beautiful OS and there's no lag at all. Very fluid.

Well you're going to need to download the gapps again (market place and whatnot) but so far nothing bad other than one time my touchpad rebooted (I have it overclocked though, so it might not be stable to do that at this build)

Other than that, it runs like CM7 which I consider very smooth and defiantly worth using. Beautiful OS though, extremely fluid and it runs some apps better (in my opinion) that need GPU acceleration like GTA, so it does work with 3D games very well. All the apps work that I have used and were transferred from CM7. I don't need to do that fake GPS thing either to get facebook to work. Not sure if facebook or if ICS/CM9 did that though
