Just got finished installing Android on my Touchpad, I got Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha 2. Installation was very easy, everything's good as far as I know. Right now I just want to know what I should do next. Like things I should tweak, stuff to install, things to mess with, etc. Only thing I've downloaded is a working version of the Chrome Beta (latest update broke for most custom ROMS, or so I read). So yea, just give me some tips and shit.

I like the CM Music player if you play music. For some reason I don't install much when I use ICS on my tablet because many things are broken and yeah.

So the latest version of Chrome works fine on CM9 Alpha 2? I haven't updated Chrome yet and I don't want to if it doesn't work.

it doesn't, I downloaded the latest version from the Market and it said it's only compatible with a minimum of 4.0.0 which was weird since I was on 4.0.3. So yea, doesn't work. I found a working version on Google.

Yea, guess it just doesn't work with custom roms. Any who, what all can I do? I'm so new to Android lol. First thing I meant to ask was how can I resize the keyboard? It takes up over half of the screen.

You can't. Just have to download a new keyboard.

No idea. If you find a better keyboard, let me know. Haha

And hold down power and volume down to take screenshots.

Must be a problem between the app and ICS.
