OK. I just got new TP with WebOS only. I was wondering if the current recommendation is still to install CM9 with AcmeInstaller3 than do backup and install CM10.

Is that right?

Since it's your first attempt at installing CM- then yes.

CM9- nightly builds are strong/ stable as ever
CWM6- make sure you flash that one
ACME3
Moboot 0.3.5
gapps for CM9

Ah, I accidentally used ACMEInstaller3 without cminstall folder, does that matter?

In my opinion- yes.... however- others have used ACME3 alone and then flashed everything else into it after putting the NEW TWRP or CWM6 onto their touchpad.
I still feel having everything in a "cminstall" folder helps

I used ACMEInstaller3 without any file and out of panic I unplugged the USB, my touchpad continued to install but it stopped and said cminstall could not be found or something to that extent. So then I restarted the touchpad and put cminstall and used ACMEInstaller3, now I have cm10 and I am happy!

Sorry, I have to disagree with Salvation27 at least a bit. A first time install of CM10 using ACME3 is perfectly fine. What I am concerned about it your skill level of rooting the TouchPad. If you have never rooted a phone or tablet, you need to take your time and educate yourself or you could brick your brand new play toy. So much has changed in the last couple of months. For someone just starting out, I would recommend installing CM9 and using it for a few weeks. ACME3 is the only installer one should use from this point forward. Knowing which recovery program to use is crucial. Knowing how to use them is a must. Reading these and other forums and watching the videos made by Rev. Kyle and Roland Deschain on YouTube about using and maintaining one's TouchPad is the best way to educate one's self.

If you think you have the skills to tackle this, then I would start from the beginning with CM10. It is more than enough mature and stable to be used as one's daily driver.

I have rooted TP before about 6 month ago and running Oat for a while, but you are right a lot of things changed sence then. That is th reason I was asking if I should install cm9 using ACME3 first, make backup of it and then wipe system, both cache and install CM10 and gapps. This way if I want to go back to CM9 I can.

Is battery drain the same between CM9 and CM10 like -30 mA on avarege? Does CM9 has the same issue with comletely drained battery?

Thanks

You'd be my kid's hero, thanks Larry.

Sorry for not getting back to you. JC said to wait a few days and he'd make a new release.

This is why I suggested CM9 first, and have his learning experience "come together." I DO agree that CM10 is stable, great, and working very well- this is MY daily driver. But- from the way the questions were asked- I feel he needed to start with something that is a little more "polished" per se. So he won't have to ask- why is my TP doing this, that or another thing when problems "may" occur

For some reason I can not find the Camera app on my TouchPad. Where can I find it?

I too have this issue
