Last night i was working on a brand new 16GB Hp touch pad which some one gave to me to install android in it. It was my second time i touch this HP device. When compare to other devices this device is so much unique in features and the touch display is so much amazing like Ipad devices and HP Web OS is just awesome. But it is very sad that HP have stopped developing the Web Os which opened to hack the device to install Android in order to get it running. Here i will discuss the steps you have to follow while installing Cyanogen Mod 9 on HP Touch Pad.
1. Download these files
a) Moboot
b) Recovery
c) Download and install Web OS SDK for Windows or Mac OS or Linux
d) Download CM9
e) Download ACMEInstaller3
2. Copy ACMEInstaller3 to C:\Program Files (x86)\Palm (Palm folder might be different from the one i have mentioned. But it will be in Program Files)
3. Connect HP Touch pad to PC and create a folder called ‘cminstall’ and put Moboot , Recovery , CM9 inside the folder. You do not have to extract any of those files.
4. Now remove the touch pad from your PC and shut it down. For those who cannot shutdown the Touch Pad just find the reset option in the setting. After you click reset it will show many options in which you will find shutdown option. Now shut it off completely.
5. Now click Volume up button and power button at same time and remove your fingers when you see a huge USB symbol. After that connect it to PC through USB cable and make sure it install some drivers. Normally it will install itself. If not try connecting again.
6. Now comes the best part. Open ‘CMD’ and write CD then write the location of the folder where ACMEInstaller3 copied. In my PC i write like this. ‘CD C:\Program Files (x86)\Palm’ without the marks. In windows 7 just go to the file location and right click the last folder in the upper bar where you will get some options where you can click ‘Copy address as text’ . Then open the CMD write CD give a space and just paste what you copied and click enter. Remember do not close the CMD yet.
7. After you have perform the step 6 success fully now copy this command and paste it in the CMD and hit enter.
novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller3
now it will start installing Android mod on your tablet. Just wait till it finishes installing the complete bundle. It will take some time to install the complete setup and will reboot as soon as it finishes. Now you will be enjoying the CM9 based ROM on your HP Touch pad.

2. Stuck at loading cyanogen after the cyanogen logo
This happens because of the kernel version you have used while installing the cyanogen mod. Best thing to overcome from this is to re-install cyanogen mod and install Google apps without installing kernel. After that you can reboot and now you will bypass the cyanogen mod and will be able to enjoy the features.
3. How to enter fast boot
Restart the console and hold home button. Yow will be directed to recovery option if your handset is rooted. If not you have to root it and install Amon_Ras recovery.
4. Handset re-booting always after installing cyanogen mod
It happens because you have installed a not stable mod or you have mess up with installing the mod. The best thing to do is to re-root it to stock. It means to downgrade to original firmware you had when you bought. If still the problem exist your end button key is gone and you need to replace or show to a hardware manufacturer.
