+-------------------------------------------------------+ The Alpha CyanogenMod Experimental (ACME) Installer v.

01 +-------------------------------------------------------+ ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA NOT FOR REDISTRIBUTION ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA ALPHA WHAT THIS DOES 1. Automatically adjusts storage space for Cyanogenmod by shrinking the "media" partition on the TouchPad by 2GB. 2. Automatically creates three new Cyanogenmod logical volumes (cm-system, cm-d ata, and cm-cache) on the Touchpad. 3. Installs most "update...zip"-style files (such as "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-tende rloin-signed.zip" or update-ClockworkMod.zip) onto the Touchpad. For those alre ady familiar with Cyanogenmod, this is a file one might use with clockworkmod re covery. 4. Changes the default action on the TouchPad to boot into Cyanogenmod rather t han WebOS. Another tool/method (TBD) may be then used to switch the default boot from one o perating system to another. The ACME Installer may be run additional times to install subsequent "update...z ip" style-files. It should not resize the media, nor recreate the logical volum es if they already exist. WHAT YOU WILL NEED 1. An HP TouchPad w/at least 2GB free on the "media" partition. 2. A Linux, Mac, or Windows computer 3. A USB cable 4. The "novacom" program, installed on your computer. novacom is a program offe red by HP for communicating from your computer to the TouchPad. It is available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO INSTALL ANYTHING BUT NOVACOM. Installing Java, Vi rtualbox, sample files, etc. is unnecessary. YOU DO NOT NEED TO INSTALL THE ENT IRE "SDK", only novacom. See www.webos-internals.org for instructions. Or Goo gle search for "novacom".

ayout=page&id=1661 5. The ACME Installer files (on your computer.) These are the above-referenced "update...zip" "payload" files. For a first-time install, you will need at least two update files. The file nam es may vary slightly as new versions come out, but they should look basically li ke this: a. moboot_#.#.#.zip --- without this "moboot" bootloader file, you will not see the boot menu and will not have CyanogenMod selected as the default install. Moboot, based on "lk" (little kernel), is a project lead by jcsullins and tmzt who deserve much credit for this amazing program. Download latest from here: ht tp://code.google.com/p/moboot/ b. update-cm-7.1-tenderloin-a1-fullofbugs.zip -- this file contains Cyanogen Mod itself. "tenderloin" is the development code name for the TouchPad. Cyanog enmod has a convention for naming its releases after these code names. Optionally, you may wish to have: c. update-ClockworkMod-#.#.#.zip -- this is the ClockworkMod "recovery" imag e. It is an emergency boot mode accessible from boot menu that can also be used for installing or updating CM. Although th USING THE ACME INSTALLER To install CM, first read the NOTICE at the end of this file. Understand that y ou are doing something highly experimental, and prepare yourself for the dire co nsequences of failure. Familiarize yourself with these instructions carefully b efore you even consider trying it. That said... INSTRUCTIONS 1. Boot your TouchPad into WebOS. 2. Connect your TouchPad to your computer with a USB cable. (Mac, Windows, or L inux work fine.) 3. On WebOS, you should be notified that you are "Connected" via USB. Select " USB Drive" and then, if asked, select "OK" to confirm. 4. A USB icon should appear on your screen, and the TouchPad WebOS volume shoul d now be accessible on your computer. Depending on your OS, an icon for the HP WebOS volume may appear on your desktop. 5. Using your computer, create a folder/directory on the HP WebOS device called "cminstall" in the first folder. Inside this folder, copy the "update...zip" f iles you wish to install. Minimally, you should include the update-moboot and u pdate-cm files described above. Optionally you may add the update-ClockworkMod and any other update...zip files you wish to have installed. 6. Unmount/Eject the TouchPad volume from your computer.

7. Reboot the TouchPad. As it is booting, hold the volume-up key until a large white USB symbol appears. 8. From the Terminal on your computer, navigate to the directory with the ACME Installer binary, and type the following command: $ novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller In the above example, $ represents the prompt. On Macintosh, the Terminal is accessible from Applications->Utilities->Terminal. Ubuntu and other Linux users may use the Terminal application. In future revi sions of ACME installer, it may not be necessary to use the Terminal at all. 9. Cross your fingers. 10. If all works well, the "update...zip" file will automatically be installed and your TouchPad should boot into Cyanogenmod. WHAT IF IT DOESN'T WORK? 1. Freak out. 2. You'll have to go online for help. Do *NOT* bother the CM developers. It's not likely to be their fault. You probably screwed something up. 3. Go to http://webchat.freenode.net/ and fill out the form. Under Channels pu t #cyanogenmod-touchpad and hopefully someone there will know what to do. 4. Additionally, you can visit the forums at rootzwiki.com or xda-developers.co m for assistance. AFTER THE INSTALLER RAN, I GOT A TRIANGULAR "WARNING" LOGO Something went wrong. Perhaps your filesystem(s) were corrupted. Go to: http://ws.hpwebos.com/webosdoctor Get/install HP's "WebOS Doctor" which should (hopefully) restore your system to the latest version of WebOS. Instructions for use are on that page.
