what about gapps? are they in the ROM?

thanks…I need glasses…I skipped to the upgrade section as I was upgrading from alpha 3.5…can I use the same gapps as before? from the CM7 alpha?

haha…I am a real noob…sorry and thanks for the writeup…specially when everyone else is down to show support to SOPA

Upgraded through 
ClockworkMod and did not lose and data. All apps and settings remained the same.

Here’s the link from Step#2:  
http://code.google.com/p/universal-novacom-installer/downloads/detail?name=UniversalNovacomInstaller.jar&can=2&q=

As described in the article, place the file in the cminstall folder on your TouchPad before running ACMEInstaller from your PC.

Agreed Brad.  Thanks for the updates on this.  You are my sole source for Android on the Touchpad, so it is very appreciated.  Installed and pretty happy with performance overall so far.  It looks amazing and can’t wait until they fix the remaining bugs.

Good find. I’ve added it to the article.

Anybody else having issues with Email app crashing all the time?

for mac users : follow this tutorial but put the Acmeinstaller2 in /opt/nova/bin

then instead of step 10 launch the Terminal and then type this :
cd /opt/nova/bin && ./novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller 

press enter, you're good to go ^^

Good point. I’ve reworded that section to make it more clear which buttons to press. 

I can’t access an exchange account

Will it dual boot?

Yes, thats what moboot is for.

Are the steps for upgrading from cyanogenmod 7 to 9 the same for mac users

http://www.wuala.com/MALOW/APKs/old_style_backup/Titanium%20Backup%204.0.2.apk i heard this one works !

Thanks so much for this article! I may wait til the rebooting issue gets fixed, but wow! This update looks so great!!

im stuck on the part where it says to type the prompt in cmd i did and it says failed to connect to server ?????

I got to the middle of step 10 where it starts running the double penguins, and after running for a bit it starts saying things like “I’m not going to fix this now”, then it stops with a final error  something to the effect of can’t resize partition or file size.  I’m going to look at it again this afternoon, but has anyone seen this?  Are there any fixes?  How much space does this take up?

Installed this in les than 5 minutes. ICS is 100x better than Gingerbread!!

awesome article, thank you!  any ideas as to why all google apps are syncing except calendar? All of the accounts and sync settings are listed as “Sync Browser”, “Sync Gmail”, etc…but the calendar is listed as “Sync com.android.calendar” and won’t sync.

I uninstalled everything and then installed 9.0 from scratch.  Most of my problems went away.

a good look at the genius that is Cyanogen. my only issue is that inspite of downloading the battery fix from Liliputing’ my touch pad is really struggling to hold a charge.

Thank you for the post Brad,

I just have a quick question regarding USB connection.

Whenever I connect my touchpad to PC using the USB cable, I’m only left with an option of Android debugging.

I can’t seem to figure out a way to connect my touchpad to PC.

Can you suggest me any help?

Thanks!

@bradlinder:disqus , i installed CM7 Alpha 1-3.5 successfully in the past. but now, after following all steps (which are similar with installing cm7) i seem to get stuck in the “cyanogenmod loading” screen. i tried to wipe user data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvic and run acmeinstaller2 again but still end up stuck in cyanogenmod loading screen…. any suggestions?

How long are you stuck on that screen for? It takes a while to load for the first time. 

im not sure what im doing wrong but when i get to the part where you go to cmd and type ”
novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2" it just says "the system cannot find the file specified ." what am doing wrong?

I am getting a “failed to connect to server” message when running acmeinstaller2…any ideas? (I have 3.5 installed already)

Did you put the AcmeInstaller2 file into your Novacom (Palm) folder on your computer?

With the tutorial on this site together with the link posted here, you can’t go wrong : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i34DePhXvnE&list=UU1BcDf6iEVccOQC70is_UVA&index=1&feature=plcp

i did this using the acmeinstaller2 and made the cminstall files and ran it told me cminstall file was not found nothing to install told me to push power to restart and now is stuck on the hp logo not doing anything been this way for like an hr or more any ideas

brad, been on this screen for 20 minutes.. i tried to install it again. and now cynaogen does not appear in moboot  0.3.5 screen. all i see is webOS, clockworkmod, webOs recovery… i already did a webOs doctor for webos 3.0.5… reinstalled and still the same… =(

Just finished installing about an hour ago. Everything was working fine but after a reboot I get the message “System UI has stopped”
Help?

Rich

maybe you need to start cmd.exe as an administrator? just a wild guess…

Has anyone else sorted this? I figure Remedy69 and I will need a different gapps package

I also had similar debug messages during the install process, but didn’t have a ‘final error’, and was able to install successfully

Before the install: ~28.9 GB
After the install (including GApps): ~26.8 GB 

When installing from CM7 alpha to CM9 …shld I still leave the old CM7 files in the cminstall folder or can I delete them ?

Check xda forums, I believe I’ve seen something about this there.

who ever cant download apps need to downlad the gapps file

I installed it last night and is working like a charm, with some issues. Is the second time I install android 3.5 first and last night android 4.

Did everything as per the instructions. Installed successfully. However I left the tablet on idle mode last night and the tablet wouldn’t switch on this morning. I can however see the blinking light on the home button. Anyone else facing this problem? Any advice? 

Also thanks for this awesome article! 

This fixed the USB issue for me, thanks!

Alpha 0.5 now available
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15509-releasealpha05-cyanogenmod-9-touchpad/

Before I found your forum I tried installing five times and everytime my TP “hung” at the loading screen w/o any progress. I found your forum and carefully went back and re-downloaded the correct files. There is a lot of mis-information out there as far as what is needed. Examples: Java, or is it Palm, or is HP Web OS… Another problem was that a download of the alpha OS delivered a file 8 bytes long. I tried it three times and finally got the 1+ MB file. Anyway your forum and cleaning up my HP prior to using acme2 did the trick.

Thanks

I have the same problem as well anyone found the solution yet?

i have winxp

Heads up… I am a Noob so please forgive me for the silly question.
I installed it and it seems like everything was going smoothly until Android loaded up and asked me for the lock code pattern. How did this happen? 

I am stuck at the USB screen.. it won’t finish installing it like you said it would in a minute or two. Should I reinstall Palm novacon driver?

I have the exact same problem. Can’t get past the USB screen.

I think you were right the first time.  Typing in “cd” will get me to C: but typing in “cd /” will not.  

I am having the same problem with the Market.  It worked on a different Touchpad that was running Alpha 0, but on my new Alpha 0.5 it gets the download error.

I signed into Google with another account and the market is now working okay.

happend to me also just played with it till i got it

Hi thanks for the greate tutorial. I have managed to install and run the Android successfully, but when I try to do step 11 and I go to the boot menu there is not option for ClockworkMod.
I also believe that GApps has not being installed.
What do I need to do to have ClockworkMod in the boot menu?

Did you make sure to put 
update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip in the cminstall folder on your TouchPad before running ACMEInstaller2?

how did you figure out the pattern to unlock it? that’s weird it didn’t have a lock for me.

wifi still has issues on this alpha version.  I reconnect by turning airplane mode on and off, then wifi on and off and then it works.

It works! It works! It works! Thank you!

I’ve installed Android on my HP Touchpad and its working fine. Problem is I can’t connect to my Trendnet wireless router. Android recognizes my internet connection, even says the connection is excellect, but it won’t allow my Touchpad to connect to the internet. All my other devices connect just fine. Only the Touchpad with the new Android OS is giving me problems. I have not updated the firmware for the Trendnet router. WebOS connected with no problem before. My hunch is that the problem has a simple solution. Some variable needs to be adjusted. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Yea im stuck on this screen as well rebooted and still nothing loaded all 4 zip files that were in the instructions and still nothing….. any word???

The came is not working on CM9 and for some reason skype turns on BUT anything i am calling someone to receiving a call it ends the call. 
Anyone else having the same issues? 

Thanks for the information. I managed to get mine working by updating the Firmware. This is the first time I’ve used Android and its awesome. I’m so impressed! Android and Touchpad make a great combination.

Hi everyone,

First I just want to thank all who worked on CM7 and CM9. You made my device worth way more than I paid for it! Second I thought I could share a way to play the videos you have stored on your device since they don’t work in the current CM9 version. Simply download MX Video player from the market…it seems to play anything. Hope this helps someone.

great job guys!!! it worked perfectly!!! Thanks a million!!!!!

Awesome!!! You guys made it too easy to resist playing with ICS. Whole process took all of 30 minutes- many Thanks!

Thank you for this guide. It helped and and it works perfectly (known bugs excepting)

My computer doesn’t recognize the touchpad after I install android. Wifi is not working or I didn’t know how to fix it. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Easy install. a little buggy , but worth the install and fun to use. I’ve installed both versions. Up grading to newere versions are a snap. And takes less than five minutes to do the upgrade. The first install is easy too, you just need a PC for the initial install. Jump in and have fun.

turn airplane mode on and off.  Then, reconnect wifi. The alpha version has known wifi problems.

Great to see this build on the back of the fantastic Gingerbread builds. I did have a couple of problems though. Initially, Marketplace wouldn’t load at all. I tried reinstalling CM7 but had loads of Force Closes. Luckily when I used ClockworkMod to reinstall CM9, I was asked for my Google account details on first boot and this fixed the problem. Some other issues: video solved with MX Player. Calendar and Email wont sync. Downloaded K9 Mail which solved my email prroblem. Not found a way around calendar not syncing (to Google calendar and/or funambol) yet. Looking forward t future updates, what a great start

The wireless was working but after I installed gapps following instruction step 11 and rebooted in cyanogenmod … my wireless stopped working. My android sees the connection but when does not connect

Gapps fix didn’t work

yes it worked. but know can’t get flash player to work.

please read the comments below regarding wifi issues

Thanks it worked for me )

thanx for your assistance. I hope there is a new build coming out soon enough (keepin my fingers crossed). Aside from the absence of the video accelerator, it seems this build is far better than CM7 3.5.

does anyone know how to do a “sreenshot” in ICS on t-pad,,it was easy on cm7 with the power button…thanks

thank you so much for these instructions! worked great for me – I’m amazed! the only problem I have is that sometimes I’m not able to open any apps from their shortcuts and it just takes me to the next blank screen? Not sure, if anybody else has this problem.

a few problems with cm9 alpha 0.5……… music crashes and so does gallery..are these two of the “bugs” in this version,,thank you again..

try holding the home button on the front and press (and hold) power until it restarts, (will take a while ,,maybe 15 seconds or so,just keep holding it, it will restart

it is the launcher i am trying to swap

How do I go back to cm7 from cm9, I didn’t do a backup..thanks

I had upgraded to 4.0, but my camera cannot work, any suggestions to solve this problem, thx!

When I finish the last command and hit enter, the big USB symbol disappears but my TP just stays on the HP logo startup screen. Left it for 20 mins. Have tried about 15 times to no avail. Any ideas?

Hi, i upgraded from CyanogenMod7 and now when i reboot it, it has a lock pattern and i don’t know how to unlock it.

Please help.

How did you get through lock pattern screen

I still gave this problem with .6. Is this related to my account or just a bug?

I’ve reinstalled at least 6 times to no avail. Just to confirm… we remove the md5 file extension right? Anybody?

Installed netflix but only get audio,no video,got the same with some others video apps that play online movies,but youtube is fine.how come,please advice,thanks in advance.

If you had tried to create a pattern in cm7, use the same pattern. Although it did not work in cm7 for some reason the pattern created in cm7 survives! Thankfully I remembered my pattern to unlock my pics 0.6 alpha.

Nope. It requires hardware video acceleration and that’s not included in the most recent builds of Android 4.0 for the TouchPad. Hopefully it will arrive in a future release. 

I tried doing this and everything worked up until the part where it said the option to boot Cyanogen.  The only options I have are
Boot WebOS
Boot WebOS Recovery
Shutdown
Restart…

Any suggestions? I really need help

So…. if i don’t care that all of my stuff will be deleted all i have to do since i already have CM7 on my touchpad is to copy, reboot and install from zip right? Is there a difference from the gapps from the cm7 to the cm9 and do i need acmeinstaller2 if again i don’t care if everything’s erased? thanks!

Hey Brad or anyone who can help,

So I tried installing everything step-by-step like it said an when I got
to step 7 & 8, where you have to reboot the touchpad and wait until
the screen goes black then press the volume up button. I did that my
computer at the time was installing the drivers then it said “the
drivers were unsuccessfully installed” an now the screen is pitch black on my touchpad? What did I do wrong and how can I fix it…. Please help I’m freaking out over here….

I meant to add I’m doing all of this from my laptop… Is that a problem? I’m the same person as tking521 right up above this comment… Anyone’s help would be greatly appreciated…Thanks

Netflix not working in 0.6 alpha

help….whats the easiest way to go back to cm 7   FROM cm 9

Did you flash GApps? I think the market comes from that.

I have CWM 9 installed and running on my touchpad, but gapps didn’t install. When I reboot into moboot, I don’t have the clockwork mod option-any suggestions? Thanks-other than that, I was impressed by how well this went!

Hi, i am still unable to download! any help pls?

Same here… also how to delete user data in CWM?

I did not succeed on the first try but the second one worked.  My problem is that boot to WEBOS is the default and Cyanogenmod is 3rd on the boot list.  How can I change the boot order so that Cyanogenmod is the default??

Thanks for the great tutorial. I have android and gapps installed!

but youtube HD version did not play(non-hd are working fine) in 0.6. But the lines was commented out, which implies it should work now?Are they anything I am missing?

 Having the same issue here …

I had same issue, Please hold power and menu button (center) for 30 second, it will restart.

anyone that can help i would greatly appreciate!! when i connect my touchpad to the computer and the giant usb comes up, i type in the code in cmd exactly as its written, but when i press enter after the last line of code, nothing happens. so i X out of cmd then my touchpad brings up the hp logo and i have to restart it. what am i doing wrong?

maMaune 

It worked fine for me. The problem is that I would like to sign-out from google account which i can not. i tried disabling synch options as well call clear data and clear cache and everytime this gets my emails …..

how to remove gmail app and data for it ?

After installing CM9 using the instructions above I found that Gapps did not install automatically via ACME2, although Android seemed to boot fine.

I have since installed the Gapps via ‘Install frrom zip’ along with the charger update.

After installing Gapps and the charger update I get stuck in a loop with the same error message over and over… ‘Unfortunately, mob.Android has stopped’.

This still occurs after reboot.

Has anyone got any suggestions please?

Thanks

I download the suggested link http://www.mediafire.com/?db9zc0mq1lj0gqe to get ICS. it is success to be ICS but all default apps are missing, even android market icon. now, i cannot install any app. how can i do ?

Good night, i have some questions to do. If i want or the Android does’t work i can revert this change? (If i can, how i do this?). The Bluetooth will work with a Android Phone? I will be able to install apps like, Picsel Smart Office? The Wi-fi will work fine? And to finish, this Android version has the language Portuguese of Brazil? I’m very interested in change my OS, so please, answer my questions. Since now, grateful!

This is the link posted at rootzwiki, but it may be subject to change:

http://goo-inside.me/roms/cmtouchpad/alpha1/update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip 

Super-important missing info:
* On mac, novacom is installed to /opt/nova/bin.  This is where you need to copy the ACMEInstaller2 file.
* When rebooting the tablet (pressing volume-up), the USB display that appears is identical to the one you see when connected to a laptop.  If you see the touchpad desktop (even if it has the small USB logo), it didn’t work.  Reboot the device to try again.  For me, it was that I always mix up volumeup and volume-down on this thing.
* Step 8 says to wait for drivers to install.  I don’t know what that means (host machine sends drivers to tablet?  tablet installs drivers itself?) but it appears to be of no consequence.  Ignore that sentence.  Neither the desktop nor the tablet will show any sign of changing so dont wait for them.

Best,
 David

Update: I managed to get out of the infinite crash loop and did a “Factor reset: delete user data” out of clockwork in an attempt to reinstall everything from the beginning. Now my touchpad has been displaying the boot-up animation for several hours and won’t turn off or go anywhere. 

Thanks ICS is working very well on my TP, but Netflix will not show video the audio works.  I know this was a bug but it was crossed out in that paragraph. Is Netflix still not working or is there a fix for that? Thanks!

Brad, Awesome work by liliputing !! A million thanks to you guys !!
I will do my piece of reporting a few issues which I noticed in a couple of hours of use, these issues may have already been reported.
- gapps did not install with andriod i had to follow step 11 to install gapps
- youtube doesnt work on browser and HD videos doesnt work on youtube app
- Netflix doesnt show video but audio works.
- Wi-Fi is dropping but not that bad
- know thing with camera not working

I have installed the Android 4 as above and my  touchpad works well. But I do have some problem in booting the cm9 as it crushes very easily and it takes several attempts before it settles down. Sometime it crushes also during operation. 
What am I doing wrong?

many thanks,

KTC

Amazing – Converted my near to dead HP tab to live Android 4.0 Honey comb….Got all Apps ..sad part is You Tube doesnt work..Hopefully should be fixed soon

Had the same problem after applying the update.

My fix was to go back and substitute the uninstaller program (available at http://goo-inside.me/roms/cmtouchpad/alpha2/ACMEUninstaller ).

To use, simply download and unzip the Uninstaller. Then connect the TouchPad to your computer via USB. Then restart the TouchPad with the volume-up key held until you see the large, white USB logo. Then, issue this command on your Terminal/Command Line on your computer:
$ novacom boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller

Then I reinstalled Android from scratch as described above – but without the battery charge update.

Has been working perfectly ever since.

Cheers, and good luck!

Dumbass Android 4.0 is Ice Cream Sandwich

I have installed cm9 and works great,except Google calendar won’t sync. Any solutions?

Bc110gf@Gmail.com

i installed CM9 and after installing gApps in CWM Recovery and rebooting the boot screen is not ending. i waited for about an hour. can anyone help me in solving this problem.

Same thing happened to me.  I backed up everything I had on WebOS and then ran WebOS doctor and it worked. 

I’ve tried to install android cm9 about 7 times now.. First time I did but there was no Android installed. After that I just waited and it did run more lines and then just sits there for as long as I wait.Right at the end of the text string I get a line that says that “no cminstall dir found: nothing to install. Power off when ready. THERE IS A CMINSTALL DIR!Any ideas? I ran Webos dr and can’t see that it did anything.

Sorry, I am not sure what you would do then. Perhaps clean install CM9 0.6 is the only way, but then you would lose your data:( Good Luck!

So you have discovered the secret that apple had found long ago.

Not sure if it was supposed to work this way, BUT
I followed the instructions above but got a little overzealous and put the 0.5 and 0.6 zip files into the cminstall folder under WebOS

I had never installed CM or any Android on this TP.

I followed the rest of the instructions word for word and the install seemed to go fine EXCEPT that for Step 10 I was never prompted for Moboot.  It went straight into the Install.

Freaked me out a but but when it was done,
CM9 0.6 was installed
GApps were installed, Moboot was installed
And after CM9 was done installing I was greeted by the welcome wizard which gave me the option to restore my device (my Android 2.3 Phone associated with my gmail account)
I said yes and it immediately started downloading all my apps (paid and unpaid).
Even installed the Bloatware that Verizon loaded on the phone (but unlike the Verizon phone I was able to Uninstall easily from the TP)

Anyway, not exactly like instructions but wanted to say THANKS as this was VERY smooth.

Try this version of gApps People! This one will works, I have tested it. (2/15/2012)
http://www.mediafire…12u43l7udkrlzx0

You may need to totally uninstall first. Put this file into the Palm, Inc File folder 

http://goo-inside.me…ACMEUninstaller

redo the install but the last line will be like this and then it will be removed. 

“novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller″ 
Then reinstall with the proper gapps file and the market will work.

see what people said about it here
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15509-releasealpha06-cyanogenmod-9-touchpad/page__st__3670

After 3 tries i got it loaded
thanks for every one that has worked so hard on this

I went to the lock screen and shut down the tablet from there. The error message still popped up, but if you’re quick, you can select “shut down” between error messages.

Does the microphone work in 0.6? And do you have to choose the correct ‘Gapps’ for your country ie. will the gapps suggested work in the UK.

 same here ?

i really need help everything worked fine besides GAPPS and i cant seem to get the clock work recovery on the mobot screen HELP please, my email is bloodnbullets@gmail.com if someone is kind enough to help i would really really appreciate it 

BArx

Did you ever figure this out?I am having the same problem.

Press and hold the power and home button after it’s been plugged in for a few minutes.

 i got everything to work but i cant find the market app..and if i go online to go on the market i cant download anyhing..any help with this?

I have installed this new version but I can’t seem to figure out how to put it in USB mode so I can copy my movies or other files from PC to Touchpad.  Beemer540ia@yahoo.com

I have gotten to step 10 but when i enter that into the command, all that happens is my tablet then shows the hp icon and it is frozen. I dont know where I went wrong but I have redone this a few times and cant seem to figure out what i’m doing wrong.. Any Ideas??

Although I did have a successfull installation, I have a question about one small issue.  When I power down the Touch Pad using the power button and selecting Power Off, the system just reboots anyway.  The only way I have found to make the shutdown stick is to intercept the reboot process and go into clockwork and shutdown there.  Anybody else have that issue?  Any suggestions for a direct shutdown procedure?

Thanks so very much for the guide, it worked beautifully for me! I’m a novice too The market did not install with moboot so I just followed your instructions for the manual installation of the gapps file. Your instructions were easy to follow and understand, thanks again! 

I was able to install the Cyanogen but I don’t see the link for market. Please help.

 similar problem with me, help…

CM9 Alpha 2 is out! Nextflix is working:)

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18843-releasealpha2-cyanogenmod-9-touchpad/

Tried to install, but ive been stuck at the screen with lines of code after running the acmeinstaller in the cmd screen. What do i do now. The touchpad is not responding to any of the hard keys. When i do press a hard key there is another line of code that appears reading that i just pressed the button

I’ve installed this over the CM9 alpha 0.6.  Used the ACMEInstaller2 method (I lie – I tried using the clockworkmod/twrp method and it failed) — but after the install with ACMEInstaller2 I found that the gapps was still sitting untouched in the cminstall directory.  So, I rebooted into recovery mode and installed the gapps again — added my google account back in and I was up and running again.

You need to install the gapps, mine was left uninstalled in the cminstall directory.  Follow the steps in step 11 above, but install the gapps files instead of the chargefix — after that, you can add your google account and get the market.

THANKS TEAM! This fixes one of my issues — my Touchpad in WebOS mode would connect wirelessly at work, but under Android it would connect but not pass traffic.  Very happy to report that this has been fixed in the CM9 Alpha2 build I’ve installed (previously running alpaha0.6, before that CM7).  REALLY HAPPY WITH YOUR WORK!!

This guide tells you to type in:

novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2but the correct command in cmd is:
novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2 

There SHOULD NOT BE .exe in the command. I verified this in other guides and it works. I encountered the same problem as an earlier poster with the Touchpad simply booting straight into WebOS (no moboot etc.). Also, the penguins and lines of text flashed for a second instead of actually installing things for a couple minutes.

Help! I upgraded from cm7 to cm9. Everything went fine and smooth then i decided to install the update-chargerfix. Then i got the 
com.android.phone has stopped message. Instead of clicking ok and rebooting quick i clicked ok and unlocked and that made matters worse the message loop was instant nothing to click but ok. So i tried holding down all buttons to try and get it to shut off, it did. Problem is now it wont turn on. At first i noticed it was still trying to connect through usb but install was failing. That happened a couple times. Now it wont do a thing, not a peep. Is this bricked? Did it just become a paperweight? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hello,

I followed these great instructions & everything works great with once exception, my netflix app is streaming AUDIO ONLY, no video, the screen is just blank but I can hear everything clearly. Is there something I can do to fix this or is this normal?

At first I had the cm0.5 file but then I updated it to the cm0.6 file but just downloading that file directly to the touchpad & installing from zip.

Any Help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Which version of CM9 did you install? You shouldn’t need to use the update-chargerfix unless you were using Alpha 0. 

Did you have a full battery charge? You might need to charge the tablet for a while before it will turn back on. 

How do I boot back and forth between Android and WebOS now?

If you installed Moboot properly, every time you turn off the tablet and turn it back on you should see a menu giving you the option to boot into CyanogenMod, ClockworkMod, or webOS. 

Use the volume buttons to move up and down through the options and the home button to select the OS you want to boot. 

HP has the giant USB sign on the screen. It’s been like that for the last fifteen minutes.. How long is it supposed to take?

help can not get  ACMEUninstaller2 to run in typ file says md5

wow, downloaded install files last night and ran setup this morning. took 10 minutes tops. Netflix on the touchpad just made this tablet complete for me. Thanks to everyone!

Like some other commenter mentioned, I ran:
novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2

that's without the .exe after novacom

Hope those with issues get it all sorted out.

One other thing, the market place seems to be working fine without having to manually install it.

I have the same issue here – any fix found?

This happened to me as well. I think it was because the device driver (QHSUSBdrivers) on my Windows 7 computer did not install properly.
Somehow I managed to get it alive again though (after trying a combination of the following (not sure what brought it back to life again):
- Power button, volume down, and home button for 20 seconds
- Power button and pressing home button 10 times
- disconnected USB cable
After this and installing the device driver properly on my PC, I did step 8 again and it works Ok now…. my daughter can play “where is my water” on Touchpad which is why I started this… ;-)

Thanks for the excellent instructions!!! My ICS Alpha 2 install went through flawlessly. I was a bit worried during the synch when it seemed to hang during the file copy with a couple line errors. Just be patient if this happens to you. It eventually moves past this and everything installs just fine.

Help. I just installed Android 4.0 from Android 2.3 and when rebooting the touchpad it took me straight to a lock screen. What is lock code? I can’t get in at all. 

Same Problem here…I dont have a Boot Cyanogen option…Please help

Hello,

I applied the steps mentioned above step by step. Everything was working as mentioned until the time it rebooted. I didn’t give the option to boot as CyanogenMod. I get a screen with a title moboot 0.3.5 with the following options only: boot webOS / boot ClockworkMod / boot webOS Recovery / reboot / shutdown. 
Please help me out of how to boot into CyanogenMod. Thanks

Can anyone help me PLEASE?! I can’t open the .jar file.  Every time I try, it says, “UNABLE TO LAUNCH APPLICATION” and when I click on “details” it says, “The following required field is missing from the launch file:”  Does anyone have any idea what that means?

HI … I had the same problem. I ended up saving the gApps file directly on the root drive of the touchpad and then following step 11 for the gApps file as mentioned …. then all go   

thx for the instructions, they were perfect (too bad no netflix video though)…

I need help.  looks like forgot to install the ACMEInstaller into the ciminstall folder on the touchpad and now just have the large USB symbol and the pad is locked up. any help with this?

Hi,
I followed the above instructions ,after couple of try i manage to install Android to my touch pad. After install Android my headphone & camera not working and battery not able to charge. Any solution to solve this problem. i have installed Alpha 2 version.

unable to connect to my wireless internet

go to the android market, go to the settings and select your account.  then it should work

look at my response to bc110gf

Nope, basically all you need to do to update from Alpha 2 to a future version is download the latest update.zip to your TouchPad and then follow step 11. 

I’m having problem on my touch pad running alpha2 when I open ESPN , the video/PICTURE don’t open. .its alll black screen. Anybody can help me on this?

I installed CM9 Alpha 2 and I can’t connect to my exchange server to receive email, contacts, and calendar.  Does anyone have a fix?

thanks a bunch! i just finished booting up ICS! havent explored much yet…tomorrow!
thanks for the steps!

Sir, you can eat shit and fucking die. 

Also, take your bullshit about fruit elsewhere.

My touch screen on my touch pad no longer works.  I called HP tech support.  My touch pad is still under warranty so I will be sending it into them to get it fixed.  Has anyone had a warranty rejected because the technicians noticed that ICS had been installed?

I’ll second both things. As a troubleshooting step I removed my account in SETTINGS. The email setup modules work fine. I smoked my Hotmail msn.com account and created from scratch. When I hit next I got “Waiting for Sync” “Your email will appear soon”. I have bounced the tablet a couple of times. Now when I launch the email app I get the “Waiting for Sync” message. So, somewhere in the email sync modules and perhaps the email Inbox modules things went awry. Regardless, alpha 2 is RATHER impressive looking. Thanks for all the tireless work. This is really maturing nicely. Cheers!

After copying the files, ejecting the Touchpad from Windows and tapping “Restart” the tablet shutdown and will not start back up again.

I have tried holding the Volume up button, Power button, Home button and nothing is getting it to start.

Did I just brick my Touchpad?

Had previously installed Preware and the Uberkernal(Touchpad)…..could this have something to do with it?

I just got this tablet tonight and hoping I have not just turned it into a paperweight.

 what did you do to get it to start up again?  I’m in that spot. 

any ideas how to fix the camera and headphone problem…….

Is there a way to play HD videos on YouTube

Hit power/home buttonat the bottom and hold. The tablet will reboot

 Thanks Gary K

Touchpad will not fully shutdown (and reboot with menu screen). Any suggestions?

Hmm… I thought it was always sunny in Philadelphia. TV has let me down again!

So easy a caveman could do it! Thanks everyone- amazing!!!!!!

no space between < and ACME…
novacom boot mem:// <ACMEInstaller2 

I have the same issue with Netflix. Anybody got an idea why?

The “locked up screen” sounds like a common problem. 
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/39172-touch-screen-not-working/ 
I can reboot the touchpad by following the instructions, pressing the power button and home button together for a few seconds.

Did your USB port work with your PC? My Window7 cannot install driver for touchpad

How to install Cyanogen Mod in Android Mobiles, Two Methods. – Guides and Tutorials – TechDiscussion
http://www.techdiscussion.in/index.php?topic=483.0

i got to step 7 holding the volume button and my touch pad went black and never came back up and will not even turn on now. what do i do now.

After updated to CM9 Alpha 0.6, I can’t watching video on Youtube and can’t open images file on my email. Did anybody have the same problem? Can someone help. Thanks

I had the same problem.
But now the problem is
solved!!! When you have
Internet access, go to Play Store and install the app Wifi Fixer. I have HP Touchpad 32GB with CyanogenMod 9 Alpha2 and it 100% works for me!

Thank you!  This worked perfectly for me.  My only snag was that I couldn’t find the download via RootzWiki–so I just googled each one and found them easily.  I was worried when the install seemed to stop for a while–I even unplugged the TP, plugged it back in, and was just about to execute the command again, when it continued to scroll text. 
GApps and Market work perfectly.

 great tutorial! i’m not such a geek and i could do all by myself! it worked on the first try! thanks

Hi, After installing Andriod 4.0, I am facing following issues, please help anyone, i installed andriod first time on touchpad and net getting the way out.
1. my laptop is not detecting USB.
2. Camera is not working
3. Mic is not working
4. Headphone are not working. Sound stops in tablet but doesnt come into headphone.
5. when i play any song in browser and move to any other screen or browser, the songs stops playing.

PLease nayone tell me if i can fix any problem. I installed release alpha2

Thank you soooo much for this post. I am new to root/custom ROMS and this helped alot. I am a computer engineer major, so it wasnt too foreign though. I changed a few things like the gapps package. I went with a different one so maybe thats why i didnt have some of the problems that others did. Thanx again

apologies.. i am running ICS 4.0.3, this has got me extremely confused as prior to this, the system had been running perfect.

Great guide. If you want a video guide then the following is the best i’ve see.

hey i am having trouble at the cmd part. When i type “dir” i dont see program files or my computer or c drive as one of the directories. Please help

 I had Cyanogenmod 7 and followed the instructions to install version CM9 and it went thru with the installation but on reboot is stuck at “Cyanogenmod Loading” screen. Any ideas?

at step 10 my tablet freezes and hp reboot came up but stays there like for half an hour now. hope I don’t brick my tablet, tried to reboot by the button but no luck stays stuck in HP reboot logo… any suggestions???

Hi all,

I am a noob to ics rooting on touchpad. I followed the instructions and dowloaded ‘nightly’ version. Now I see moboot in my touchpad but there is no ‘cyanogenmod’ option. When I go into clockwork recovery and install file from zip, the ‘update-cm9-nightly’ shows ‘no files found’. Is the downloaded cm9 update is wrong or I am doing something else? Any help is appreciated. TIA!

I followed the instructions and everything seemed to work fine but I don’t get any option but webos boots.  Any ideas on how to fix it?

use the app, ‘FXR WIFI fixer’ from the android market.

I got to step 10 didn’t work, so I reloaded novacom and rebooted. I hit the volume up, got the USB symbol and it is bricked. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver. Nothing. It doesn’t even see it as a drive on my PC, but shows under devices as Palm (Novacom bootie) When I try to eject it, I get an error saying that something else is using it. Please help! I sure don’t want to buy another tablet!

Shut down my tablet and it won’t start back up again anyway I try to… I think I bricked it. Any help? Please?

Same thing here

In MAC, I had the same problem. I had to do “sudo novacomd” in  a terminal to start the server manually and then do “sudo novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2" in a different terminal, then it worked.

Hey man
For the last step novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2,mine doesnt work
is the ACMEInstaller file suppose to be Chrome HTML Document (.htm) file ?
Thanks

have been running latest version CM9 for a couple weeks, and now all the sudden Poof no internet connection.  when i launch web OS, i have connection, just not in CM9.  any thoughts on this? suggestions?  i tried rebooting, it doesnt work. i was doing so good with it too! Damn.

I’ve had that happen from time to time. Not sure what causes it or for sure what clears it but I’ve… powered the router up and down (seems unlikely source of the issue), powered the tablet up and down, done reboots, removed the home network and then added it back in (seems to work the best).

This only happens periodically and when I can’t connect its the same for both WebOS and ICS. Never had the problem with Mod 7.

Eventually it clears but I’m not sure why.

Fantastic! Am using Win7, first time using USB to hptouchpad. Able to see and use hptouchpad as a USB drive even though it still complains with a red cross on taskbar, “Device driver software was not successfully installed”. HP TOUCHPAD is listed as a portable device in device manager. Looks ok to proceed.
1. double click on UniversalNovacomInstaller and follow instructions to extract and install. Then copy ACMEInstaller2 file into same directory where novacom.exe is installed in on Win7.
2. remember to create “cminstall” folder on HP Touchpad main folder when copying files over. 

* I forgot and it stated Power off when ready after lots of files displaying on HPtouchpad screen, the read through the last few sentence, it stated cannot find “cminstall” files.  I pressed and hold ON/OFF button and pressed “Home”; then it seems able to power off. For a moment thought I am stuck with that Linux screen. Create “cminstall” folder on HPtouchpad using USB mode again, copy files over and try again.

3. Upon resetting from device info, then upon bootup, press power and up to set HPtouchpad to USB mode, then plug back USB cable to Win7. Note Win7 cannot see any USB drive as before after this reset, the USB mode. Think it is is “mem” mode as needed by ACMEInstaller2. 

Then simply type in MSDOS:cd to directory where novacom.exe is installedcd C:Program FilesPalm, IncC:Program FilesPalm, Inc> novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2 and the screen starts with the linux stuffs; and extracting those files that we put in "cminstall" folder.4. It auto reboots and the screen goes to boot prompt, it counts down and booted to cyanogenmod.5. Win7 still not able to see any USB drive as USB cable is still connected.6. Follow through till it scan for WIFI connection and password setup, next till finished!7. Cheers to the HPtouchpad Andriod version.8. Press power and reboot. Then press up button to select webOS, then press home button. Back to hp webOS. All files created in webOS are intact.note: I actually copied these 5 files as not sure if needed the "recovery-clockwork-tenderloin-1012" or just the "update-cwm_tenderloin-1012"…

- gapps-ics-20120317-signed
- update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha2-fullofbugs
 (tempted to try - update-cm-9.0.0-tenderloin-20120412-0800-signed but not yet as this is the first time doing it)
- moboot_0.3.5
- recovery-clockwork-tenderloin-1012
- update-cwm_tenderloin-1012

now "cminstall" folder is left with only "recovery-clockwork-tenderloin-1012" file intact.  Must I delete it? I am not sure.Everytime, after disconnect using Win7 "Eject webOS-device" and after "..can be safely removed from computer" message pops up. Then when I remove the physical USB cable from Win7, hptouchpad always complains "OWWW! that hurts. Next time please unmount the drive from the desktop." and goes back to webOS.9. I am booting back to CyanogenMod though still not sure how to backup and copy files created in webOS into Win7. Will Andriod complains the same as webOS? Guess that's ok.10. Yes perfect 10!  Thanks everyone out here for the sharing & especially "Bryan Ngiam" whom lead me to this wonderful link!

I just wanted to thank you all for putting together this guide.  Rockin’ Android on my TP right now. 

also those of u hu have already installed it for the first time could you tell me how to get android market.is there some kind of instruction or something or do i need to download it please tell

I had installed this on my touchpad right after I got it, and it started acting weird about a week after I installed it. I thought I was going to be stuck with boring.  I just found this and so far it’s running pretty good.  It started out by getting stuck on the opening screen, which was a swirl of colors.  It finally moved on after I pressed the home screen and it let me log into my google account.  Is this normal???

I have sound with Netflix, but no picture.  Anyone know a fix for this problem.  Everything else works great.  Thanks!

Worked perfectly for me – Excellent job, Thanks!

I tried all those things and nothing works for me! It says its downloading and it wont do anything after that. HELP!!!! I have created several different google accounts and then also installed gapps_ics as well. I am stuck and want to fix it. If I get that fixed I would be set.

My HP TP is death. I accidentally unplugged it and stop flashing. And now I cannot reboot it at anyways.  Is there anything I can do?

was able to successfully put this on my touch pad but how do I now add the Netflix app?

That was a very easy install with your GREAT instructions. Thank you so much! You made an good product into something very special. As long as you follow these directions precisely and do not make any typos, you should be fine.

Sell it on eBay

my internal compass doesnt work on ICS 4.0.4, any else have this problem, is there a fix?

I am having problems with my computer not installing the drivers for the touchpad during step 8, any suggestions?

I have done everything, but at the startup in the boot directory I see the “moboot 0.3.5″ in white and hit the home button, but the touchpad keeps booting WebOS.  Please help!

Excellent work guys, really easy to follow guide! First time I’ve done anything like this, took a bit longer on step 10 than I thought but stuck with it and eventually it rebooted as planned  Awesome CyanogenMod Alpha 2 – Much better than original WebOS! 

Thanks very much!

any help?

how do I download android apps on my new android tablet? Please tell me at donkeyman100@yahoo.com, I need 2 know! Thanks!

send it to HP and have them fix it if you still have a warrenty.

nevermind, can’t read………..der.

How do I upgrade to the newer builds? I have one from a month ago and am a bit unsure how to go about it. Thanks 

thx, I was having the same problem !

It also keeps saying Clock, Email, Camera and other essentials are not working or have stopped working,

awesome. Waited forever to try this, was worried I would break my tablet, and $150 is a lot for me. Not to mention, trying to find it for that price. Worked great once I fixed what I did wrong. Thanks so much! 

It looks intimidating when you read it but really isn’t. I am so much happier with my TP now that I can run Android apps. This gives you the best of both worlds with a TP and in my mind makes the Ipad obsolete.

I’m having the same problem as you, nothing works for me I tried all the above also tried new gaaps and clear cash and creating different account, still receiving the same error message, please help

I am curious why after I follow the steps above and I have no google map and chrome apps on my touchpad ? 
are they usually come with the installation or I need to download by myself ?

This might be a really dumb question, but can I delete the old tenderloin files from my cminstall folder? I have all the old updates in there and I wouldn’t think I’d need them.. Thank you 

I unzipped the files on my touchpad cminstall(yes i know,my fault).I was unable to install it. my problem is how do i put zip files on my touchpad(screen has usb icon in it)?. Thank you.

I have a problem, when I enter the command line in the cmd nothing happens and the touchpad turns to the hp logo and stays like that forever. Plz someone help me I’m stuck  :’(

thanks a bunch! this was like getting a new device all over again!

HELP! Carger fix was applied after the latest update and now I can’t boot into android (message regarding not being able to start one of the files relating to phone) and worse yet, I cannot get it to connect on USB through web OS to be able to reinstall the base CyanogenMod files to make it right (yes, they were removed from the cminstall folder to preserve space). The usb connect will flash on the screen and then dissapear when I hit the connect icon but not connect.

As usual with these things I fell at the first hurdle. When I try to install the Novacom files I get a dialog saying ‘Downloading Novacom Drivers’ and a progress bar that says ‘ Initializing’ but the progress bar don’t move.

Dying to try this but disappointed it didn’t work for me. I suspect it may be because I’m using a 64bit machine, but, what do I know though…lol

After upgrade, unable to use WI-FI network. It sees my router, connecting to it, but nothing after that. Any suggestions?

well i think you have to run a zip file named gapps

installed and love it

Hi I installed cyanogenMod9 on my HP touch pad. Wireless net working was working but there were no apps like market,gmail etc .on applying upgrade file I got app but wireless network would not work. Any suggestions?

I just got my HP Touch Pad with Web OS and Android installed. Very informative video . Had to watch a few times with tablet in front of me to follow. Audio instructions of what he was doing would help. Thanks

Thank you for the instructions. Just got this done and I am happy.

I just installed Android on my Touchpad using the above tutorial and the only thing I’m not sure of is how to update the software to the latest nightly tenderloin release. It says the best way to update is by running the ACMEInstaller2 but, it does not tell you how to do it other than booting it up with the power button and volume up button pressed to get to the USB mode and then “Run ACMEInstaller2″ This is a very vague command unless we are supposed to use the same command that was used earlier to fully install Android on the touchpad. So a more in depth explanation would be nice. I see that an update was just released 7/01 and I’d like to install it. So all I’m really wanting to know is how to “Run ACMEInstaller2″ to make it install the latest update?

Hi,

I get to Step 10 The USB icon should disappear from your TouchPad screen and now you should see lines of text run across your screen for a few minutes.

I get an “Unable to resize filesystem. Minimum size 23697082 sectors, 22544384 requested. resize failed! Abroting! Please reboot

What suggestions can you make to get past this stage? I’m not tech savyy! Thanks,

Seriously great instructions. I’m not very well versed in computers but I was able to get all this done in well under 30 mins. I can’t believe I waited so long to do this. I actually don’t regret buying my touchpad anymore!

This was my first try at installing the mod and I must say I thought for sure I broke my Touchpad. But I just had to edit some of the entries while in command prompt and she booted right up like a charm. I just downloaded the latest nightmod as of june 12 and there are some improvements in there. Have to say I am jealous of my Touchpad now that it is running like a champ. I had given it to my wife since the webOs system was just too slow and confusing to her. Now she can’t put it down. I have to go back to my Acer A500 tablet. Great article and even turned me into a guru!

is the any advice for performing this from a MAC home computer with the touchpad or is it the same advice? Thank you

I was stuck on this for like 20 minutes. I added the file extensions to the files – .exe to novacom and .zip to ACMEIntsatller2 – and it worked just fine.

So, novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2.zip

Hi I am running Cyan 7 on the touchpad. Attemepted to update to Cyan 9 using Win 7. I kept getting the couldnt connect to server problem. Went into Services console and found Palm Novacom was disabled. Started that and update started correctly. But here is the weird thing, despite completing and rebooting it is still Cyan 7. I had downloaded the latest Nightly build. Any ideas please? Have tried it twice same result nothing changed and states Cyan 7.

it says it cannot open MIME file for any of the required downloads. :[

moboot 0.3.5 in white is just the title of the menu and is not intended to be selectable.

Great instructions!!! Thanks so much for your time and efforts.

Excellent work sir … my touchpad seems to get a new life …. very detailed steps mentioned … took me ~1 hr to be up and running

Unfortunately, I am not able to get the Novacom drivers installed despite having updated Java. How is it supposed to take?

I cannot get passed the Novacom install. It detects my OS, I click download, and it hangs at ‘Installing Driver’ saying its ‘Initializing.’ I’ve tried this on my laptop (Windows 7) and now on my other computer (XP). Same result. What’s going on?

how long is it suppose to take to download Novacom driver step 2
its taking forever for me

Fucking cant get acme installer

Seems the Goo server has problems. I found the installer here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12438458/ACMEInstaller2%20%281%29

I renamed it later to remove the “(2)”.

I’ve got some other problems though, not sure if that whole process still works.

Is there a way to install paid games from the play store, which i downloaded from the internet, onto the touchpad?

install worked fine however it asking for a slide unlock that i never set and cannt get past

All I can do right now is choose between CWM based recovery and WebOS !!! Where the heck is ICS ????? Seriously when I choose the alternative to boot from it shows an Android boot but then goes to CWM. I am so frustrated here.

Hi! I would like to first say thank you for everything so far . I have done almost every step . How ever when I get to step 9 # 6 I am getting a message cd program files is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. this is with or without quotes. please help me , thank you in advance.

not possible to install novacom, the installer keeps running without doing anything. can’t download acme installer 2. can someone post all the files

I installed android as per the instructions but I am not getting the option of CynogenMod. I can see Clockworkmod and can also boot to WebOS but not Android. Can someone please help me as to why this is happening and what should I do? I used the latest nightly build

Frustrated as hell with this. Installed on two 32GB touchpads. The second one works fine. The first one, worked fine for about ten minutes then started booting me out of the App Store at first, then started re-booting the machine every few seconds. I seriously can’t go five minutes without it rebooting now. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled several times and even went so far as to reset teh WebOS to factory settings, redownloaded all the files (including the Novacom driver), same thing keeps happening. I’m using the CM9 version (nightly from 9/23, but also tried 9/30). The installer never seems to add the gApps file or the cm_tenderloin nightly automatically so I keep adding those through the Clockwork after install….but that worked on the other Touchpad. Strange and confusing! Help please!!!

Could anyone give me simple instructions on how to get the mic to work. I installed cynogenmod 9 exactly following these instructions and it worked out fine for me. the only issue is I cannot get the mic to work. I am a super newbie so I request anyone explaining it to me to use very non technical language! thanks!

My Touchpad run perfect with android, but, after reboot and not turn-on anymore. Please HELP!!!!!

This solution and instructions worked perfect me. Now I’m running Android on my HP touchpad. My question is once I’m booted up into the Android system, and I plug the touchpad into my Windows 7 computer, the USB Drivers won’t load up. Something about MTP USB Device. While I have the latest MTP USB Driver and have reinstalled the driver, the driver just never loads while I’m booted into the Android OS.

Everything seemed to work fine for me until it wanted to boot up for the first time. When I tell it to boot CyanogenMod it just goes in circles back to moboot. If I select webOS it boots fine. The only difference in how I installed it was I used the new ACMEInstaller3 instead of 2. :

Having problem with ICS on Touchpad, upgraded from android 2.3, install appeared to work, but after boot into ICS I only have background and virtual number pad displayed and clock. No other icons displayed and can not swipe to to change home screens. I have tried upgrading multiple times, no change. Any suggestions?

this happened to me with the nightly build. i followed the instructions on Step 11 to install via Clockwork mod. i just selected the zip file and installed.

Thanks! no problems and it works great!

I need help installing this to my HP tablet is there someone can help me with this

Hi my problem is i am missing the bootclockworkmod in my moboot how can i fix this?

HELP ME!!! I used your instructions above to add ICP to my new HP Touchpad last night. On step 10 when I added the ACMEInstaller, the USB icon did not disappear on my Touchpad. Now my Touchpad won’t boot up at all! When I connect it to my computer it says “Found new Hardware”, but it is unable to find hardware to install my device. Please help me! What do I do now?

when i type in novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2, command prompt says the system cannot find the path specified.i got up to palm, inc part.WHAT DID I DO WRONG?????????

Hi

I’m about to install Android on my TP.

Questions:

1. In this Dual Boot situation, what will happen to my existing data (user
files like Word and PDF docs etc.) on webOS?

I assume that they will not be accesible after booting Android….

If so, I probably would need to copy those files to the Android section?

2. How to partition the user memory to allocate memory to webOS and Android?

I didn’t see any mention of this issue, so maybe there is no need to wory about
that.

Maybe the User Data is visible by both, webOS and Android?
Thanks a lot
amis

Thanks Guys.

after installing my android keyboard not working

How do I get my computer to recognize my tablet now that I have ICS installed? I don’t see a screen pop up asking me me if I want to switch to USB?

I can’t find the acmeinstaller2 download. It’s no longer available.

How do you change a abttery on a 9 inch android touch pad

I’m having a problem after installing cyanogen mod which is on the side of the screen some letters are running anyone can help me

I’m badly stuck! then
I ran the procedure until step 10. Run ACMEInstaller
I ran novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller3
I saw the line of text running on the tablet screen, no problem..
But it stopped after couple of minutes and the line was saying something like:
".. not enough space, space required 22897896, space allowed 23789345. Abort?
Then I lost connexion with the tablet: The PC doesn't see the device anymore and the tablet is stuck…
Please help! How can I reboot the table and continue?

I’m finally installing this from scratch and I’m getting a device not found message. I uninstalled and reinstalled novacom as well.

Edit: I see the mention of Updated CM9/CM10 at the top. I overlooked it.

Worked fine on first try. However took a bit of interpretation to realize that when you eject the HP device (step 6) that you will need to reconnect it between steps 8 and 9. Figured it out and it all went well. Also had to do the optional step 11 as it did not find Gapps on its own, but again instructions gave that hint. Finally the reboot and install process appear to stop at times, but then continue to just wait for it all to finish. Was bit concerning at moments.

I have completed all steps and everything seems to be okay except for there is no app store. How do i get one or what step did i miss??

Hi there,

I’m having an issue in the early stages, after downloading the Universal Novacom installer… Can’t seem to get it to open or run, when I click on it all I get is a flash of a DOS type window, and then nothing. I get no “Palm.Inc” file path anywhere… Help? And yes, I’ve installed Java first as detailed in the previous step.

i have a problem when i touch the android it tells me that wizard has stopped

Joel again.
Forgot to mention that my pc is registering a new device [the notepad] but can’t read/access it. So it would appear my notepad is powered just not functioning.

I just installed Android following the directions above. I don’t have the google play icon, but can go with the browser to the play store, but I can’t download apps. I see below that others have had this problem, but I don’t understand what they did to fix it! I also can’t turn my Touchpad off or figure out how to boot in WebOS mode! I’m beginning to regret having done this – can someone help a non-tech person?

Everything loaded fine but then it prompts me to touch the android and after I do it says the set up wizard has failed. What do I do?

I am having an issue, with my cyanogenmod it is in a booting loop

now time to install ubuntu

I currently have android OS on my HP touchpad, but I’m having issues tethering it to my computer now. My laptop won’t recognize the device so I can’t copy files over. Any ideas? Thanks!

Which part of step 9 are you confused?

I have backed up my files as i had installed a version without the camera functioning, how much space does this take on my 16gb tab, also can i remove it safely without affecting function of the current CM on there?

thankyou so much. I was ready to buy a new tablet but my touchpad has new life. LOVE IT. Thanks

mine is stuck with the text on the touchpad screen is there any way to reboot from there?

I am installing CM 10. The files I downloaded are below. Is the -update-cwm_tenderloin-1012 file necessary or is this an update file that applies to CM 9?

-ACMEInstaller3
-CM10.1_TESTING_ONLY_Apr0213
-gapps-jb-20130301-signed
-moboot_0.3.5
-update-cwm_tenderloin-1012

Just copy them to anywhere on your device, reboot into recovery (ClockworkMod) and follow the instructions to flash a zip file. Then reboot into CyanogenMod and login with your Google account.

hi! first time rooting my touchpad to andriod. i did the cm9 nightly, and had to redo since the first try didn’t install gapp or market. now finally had the play store but is it normal to not have the market app? or u can only have google or market, not both? just wondering

I am a little behind the times, but want to do this with my touchpad. I am having trouble with the novacom install part…. how the heck do I do that? I used the link but it never brings up a way to install itto my computer.

so i did this. it went through everything but when it booted up nothing happened? I cant get to the moboot

I gave it another try, just like I did a month ago, but I still have the same issue:

I followed the steps in this tutorial, and the moboot 0.3.5 appears, but when I choose “boot CyanogenMod”, it shortly shows the splash screen, and then it reboots into the moboot menu again. I think I did something wrong, but I don’t know what.

I copied the following files to the cminstall folder on my touchpad:
-cm-9-20130429-NIGHTLY-tenderloin
-gapps-jb-20121011-signed
-moboot_0.3.5
-update-cwm_tenderloin-1012

I successfully came to step #10 of this tutorial:
“If everything works properly, your TouchPad should now boot into Moboot.”

It did… but when I choose “boot CyanogenMod” it shortly shows the splash screen, and then it reboots into the moboot menu again… so it’s like an infinite loop.

Can any of you guys explain what I’m doing wrong? I’m a bit lost…

Hi,

I installed everything properly and the hp touch pad booted rebooted with moboot and then to hp web OS..

I unfortunately restarted the hp web OS again and press the volume key..

it went into the mode to accept command again..

unable to exit from the mode.. i tried to reinstall acme installer through command prompt.. but now my hp pad got stuck and is still in the double penguin mode..

Can anyone tell me what to do..

I’m stuck. At step 8 the USB icon is no longer on the screen, but the HP icon is. Everything is installed and the HP tablet IS connected to the computer. The device now reads “Palm” I’ve moved on to step 9 but it says the system cannot locate the AcmeInstaller3 file, yes I moved the file to the Palm, Inc folder. My touchpad is also stuck, I can’t get it to turn on or off, nor get the USB icon up. help!
