CyanogenMod 9 Nightlies for HP TouchPad

March 31, 2012 Andy

For those that are not aware, CyanogenMod 9 nightlies for HP TouchPad just went live a few days ago. Yes, now you are able to update your HP TouchPad with the latest CyanogenMod as soon as patches are merged into the tenderloin build.

I just flashed the 30th March 2012 nightly and things are working fine. The boot animation changed to be similar to the one we had in CM7.

For those who are on CM9 and want to flash the nightly release, simply:

Download the nightly build from http://get.cm/?device=tenderloin
Download the latest gapps from ~~http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps~~ http://goo.im/gapps
Download the 120dpi patch from here (if necessary)
Transfer all the downloaded files to the TouchPad’s cminstall folder
Use ClockWorkMod and install update from zip

How to use ClockWorkMod to apply/install updates

Reboot/Boot the TouchPad
On the moboot screen, press the volume key to stop the countdown process
Using the volume key, change the selection to “boot ClockworkMod”
Confirm the selection by pressing on the “home” key
A bunch of text would appear while ClockworkMod boots. You will be greeted by a menu titled “CWM-based recovery”
In the “CWM-based recovery” screen, use the volume key and change the selection to “install zio from sdcard”
Confirm the selection by pressing on the “home” key
In the “Apply update from .zip file on SD card” screen, select “choose zip from sd card”
Navigate to the “cminstall” folder and select the package you like to update (e.g. nightly build)
In the “Confirm install?” screen, select “Yes – Install ….”
A bunch of text will appear and when update is completed, it will state “Install from sdcard complete”
You will be back at the “Apply update from .zip file on SD card” screen, you can follow steps 7 to 9 to update the rest of the packages. Once done, continue to Step 11
In the “Apply update from .zip file on SD card” screen, select “+++++Go Back+++++”
In the “CWM-based Recovery” screen, select “reboot system now” to reboot the system back into CyanogenMod
Your HP TouchPad has been updated!
