The brilliant and acclaimed developer James Sullins, aka Jcsullins, has released his latest Unofficial Preview build of CyanogenMod10 for the HP TouchPad. This version has fully working Sound, Camera and Microphone. This "Experimental" preview build is meant for testing. If you wish to test CM10, Please make sure you have a Nandroid backup of your current CM9 or CM7 setup, before you install this. Start by watching these videos.

How to install CyanogenMod 10 Preview with Sound & working Camera on the HP TouchPad!


Note(Important) I highly recommend you make a Nandroid backup of your current Rom, Apps and Setup. This perfectly preservers your current configuration and can easily be restored through CWM or TWRP Recovery. Once you've tested and tweaked your CM10 setup, you can make a Nandroid backup of that too. This will allow you to easily switch back and forth between Roms; while protecting your preferred setup and favorite apps.

2)Note*: If you are unable to find the Play Store after you install CyanogenMod, then you will need to reflash your gapps package. Click Here for the how to video!

Gapps Downloads:

GOO.IM: All Gapps Downloads!

Gapps Mirrors:

CyanogenMod 10.0.x, 4.1.1, gapps-jb-20121011-signed:

CyanogenMod 9.0.x, 4.0.3-4, gapps-ics-20120429-signed:

CyanogenMod 7.1-2.x, 2.3.5-7, gapps-gb-20110828-signed:

3)Note* When using the acmeinstaller2/3, the Rom and Gapps files must begin with update-xxxx. If update- is not present the Rom and gapps may not install. You can add update- to the Rom & Gapps file names if it is missing.

CyanogenMod package contents explained:
-There are currently three versions of CyanogenMod provided here to install. I would highly recommend installing CyanogenMod 9 (CM9). CyanogenMod 10 (CM10) is currently a very functional unofficial Preview build but still has many bugs . CM9 is stable and has almost everything working perfectly. CyanogenMod7 also works well but is a little dated and not as well supported as CM9.

-You will need 4 files to install CyanogenMod. The first two files can vary depending on the version you choose to install. CyanogenMod 9 is used here for Example:

1)update-cm-9-20120707-NIGHTLY-tenderloin-signed.zip (Installs your Android Operating System)
2)update- gapps-ics-20120429-signed (Installs your Gapps Package, Play Store & Applications)
3)moboot_0.3.5 (Installs your Boot Menu options)
4)update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215 (Installs ClockWorkMod6 recovery)

Optional patches and fixes, Not included:

(Optional) Moboot 3.8

Jcsullins has released a new version of Moboot for testing!

moboot_038-tenderloin.zip Download:

Twrp & Moboot 3.8:
"*Moboot 3.8 is still considered a "Testing" version but allows correct device S/n reporting to android OS needed for certain apps/games like Asphalt 7 etc. There are no issues reported (yet) when used with cwm6 because it has always used sdcard/clockworkmod/ for backups.

TWRP uses your device S/N (000000000 on Moboot 3.5) to create the folder where backups are stored, when you update to Moboot 3.8, TWRP will be looking at a new backup folder (ie 12345678) and won't see your previous TWRP backups. This is not an issue on all future backups (or if you started with Moboot 3.8). If needed you can use a file browser to move the old TWRP backup files to the new S/n folder and it has been reported to work.
(Note: I have not tried TWRP on the Touchpad, but I have used it on other devices)."

Rom Flashing issues with CWM5 (Important):

The Problem:
-Developer Green has advised that using CWM5 to install(flash) a nightly or format the /data and /system partitions, may introduce corruption into the file system.
-It is advised to avoid updating though CWM5 for this reason.
-By installing Jcsullins new CWM6 you can avoid future corruption.(Included)
-CWM6 Download:
-Updating your Rom with CWM5 can cause the inode errors seen in double penguin mode while installing with the ACEMEInstaller3.
-Due to corruption introduced from flashing/Updating Roms though CWM5, your system partition may have errors.

The Solution: (Also a safe way to upgrade from CM9-CM10)
-Uninstalling CyanogenMod with the ACMEUninstaller and freshly installing with the ACMEInstaller 3 will resolve any possible issues.
-To avoid problems when updating from CM9-CM10 you should first make a full Nandroid backup, then uninstall CM9.
-Next Fully install CM9 using the ACMEInstaller3.
-Once Complete restore your CM9 Nandroid backup,
-Now you can safely update from CM9- CM10 with the ACMEInstaller3 or
-You can also safely flash the CM10 Rom and gapps package with CWM6.
-It’s fine to flash regular.zip files through CWM5; such as gapps files, fixes/patches and CWM6.zip These will not cause corruption and are safe for daily flashing.
-Use CWM6 from now on Download:
-Note* CWM6 has already been included for everyone using this guide to install CyanogenMod for the first time.
-For more information Please watch the CWM6 Video Here:

Partition Size Problems and ACMEInstaller3(Important):
-The ACMEInstaller 3 is meant to increase the partition size from 300MB to 400MB.
-CM9 only needed 300MB but Jelly Bean is a larger Rom and requires more space(350MB).
-In some cases users have reported 0.0/400MB of space left after installing CM10.
-Although everything may still run fine it is recommend to leave at least a little space free. The consequences of running it without free space are not known.

How to monitor free System Storage space with CM10(Optional):
-You can use a free app,Quick System Info PRO, to check the size of your partitions and remaining free space, it should be = 387MB or 402MB. Either of these is acceptable and indicateds that the ACMEInstaller3 worked correctly.
-Having a system size of 387Mib = 400MB and is perfectly normal after using ACME3
-Users report having a size of 394 after flashing to a new Rom. This is also acceptable.
-If your partition is an odd size or you get random reboots,then you may have encountered problems due to flashing you Rom.

Quick System Info PRO Video Link:
Quick System Info PRO Play Store Link:

-If you use the ACMEInstaller3 and then later restore your Nandroid backup of CM9, you will still retain the larger partition size.
-You can then use CWM or TWRP to safely flash from CM9-CM10 but flashing from CM10-CM9 can cause a boot loop.

How to free up System Storage space with CM10(Optional):
I believe I have located about 15.89MB of data we can safely delete. Android in space videos and Phone Ring tones are located @
root/system/media/videos & root/system/media/audio/ring tones.

X-plore File Manager, use this app to delete the files:

Note* X-plore needs to be given Root Permissions by clicking the 3 dots in the corner and choosing configuration. Here check your Root Access settings. SuperUser + Mount Writable, this is what it should say. Next you may need to reboot before it takes effect.

How to guide for changing your system, data, and cache partition sizes(Optional): (Gradular)

Bricking Help & Fixes:
If your HP TouchPad is stuck in a boot loop or not responding Don't Panic! Try the following:
-Hold down the Power and Home buttons together for 30sec to force the TouchPad to Reboot.
-Hold down the Power button and click the Home key 14 times.
-If your battery is heavily drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
-When the battery is fully drained it can take the TouchPad a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
-The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.

New* Developer Jcsullins has posted a second thread "TPDebrick v0.4" dedicated to helping people with bricked HP TouchPads(Important):
Note* All debricking questions should be posted in the new v.004 thread.

How to Change the DPI settings for CM10:
-If your home screen looks a little off then you may wish to change the LCD density.

You can change the DPI settings either by using a free LCD app or by editing the build prop. The two apps below will do the job.

The changes to the new build are:
<jcsullins> no device specific changes from previous build, just made new build to pull in the fixes for the weather lockscreen
<Heart|> so simply dirty flash over 4th april cm10 build (with wipe caches)?
<jcsullins> just flash, no wiping should be needed
It looks like you should upgrade. Seems easy enough. Probably some other jellybean changes/improvements snuck in.

I always include everything that has been merged at the time of the build unless there is something specific known to cause problems.
If something does get excluded, then there will be a patch in the works to fix the problem that it caused.

The inclusion of the Battery Stats was actually an accident. I had forgot that I added it to the list of patches on a test build I did.

I am currently running CM9 and just switched from CWM to using TWRP. I am a little confused about how to get this preview on my device. I don't feel confortable using the CMD prompts so if I have to use them I will pass.

Can I just do a complete wipe and flash the update-cm-10-20120801-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin-not_ready_yet and gapps-jb-20120726-signed only or do I have to also install moboot_0.3.5 and update-wm_tenderloin-1012.

I am very happy with ICS and the nightly's so I don't want to screw it up but at the same time I am curious to see how smooth the butter is. Thanks

You used the CMD to initially install Android. Even if you mess up commands it doesn't do anything. The command simply won't execute and it doesn't screw up the Touchpad.

I did it through TWRP and it worked. I wiped system, data and both caches.

Make sure you have a backup of your CM9.

I did a complete backup, then just installed the CM10 preview from Goo Manager/TWRP over the top of my current setup. No data wipe or uninstall, just clear cache/dalvik
Installed fine, all of my apps seemed to be there. No audio, but wifi seemed stable. All of my settings carried over nicely, wifi, go launcher, etc.
I tried 2 games. Plants vs Zombies and Osmos HD. Both seemed to work fine for testing, I didnt play long.
But, with no sound and other issues, I ended up restoring my backup after about 5 minutes also.
But it looks very promising, thanks to the Devs for the hard work!
