[GUIDE] Written CM9 Install Instructions

---

If you don't want watch a long video on another site, this is a simple guide to install CM9, if this is your first time and are totally new follow instuctions here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1305891

If you already have CM7 then all you have to do is download the CM 9 and ACMEinstaller2, more info here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1452324

then.
1 copy the cm9 .zip file to the folder cminstall you created when installing cm7 of your touchpad and eject.
2 shutdown your touchpad
3 Hold the volume up button and press power button simultaneously. You should see a white USB symbol.
3 Connect the USB cable to pc and touchpad, the driver will be automatically detected and installed.
4 copy the ACMEinstaller2 file you downloaded to your desktop or wherever you want. Open up cmd as admin ( in windows) or root terminal ( in linux or mac). cd to the directory where you just extracted your ACMEinstaller2.
5 type

novacom boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller2

NOTE: windows users might have to manually move the novacom.exe and/or AcmeInstaller into c:\programfiles\palm folder and run the above command from there.

Once all done you will boot in to CM9. You can then flash gapps via cwm.

Hope it helps someone.

Thank you. This was a huge help.

Just a note: The ACMEInstaller that you download is a binary file already which means it does not need to be 'extracted' anywhere; just move it to the same directory as your novacom executable.

is it no google's installed on CM9 Alpha 0 ?
i cannot open any app from Google like Market , Maps, Gmail ... etc even I flashed the GAPPS file ? any steps I missed ? Please help

What I did is just flash this over xron 2.9 using cwm. Wipe cache... I do not even do a factory reset. Most application seems fine..

Wi-Fi problem is the same. I got drop off once in a while. To all dev, I think this should no. 1 priority in the list. Thank you all..

Yeah you have to flash gapps again in clockworkmod recovery but you need to install the fix after to fix calendar sync.

So flash this..

True but I just wiped everything and reflashed it. It is amazing.
I am sold on the ICS

Installed using cwm a couple days ago. Alpha 0 means little to me... still far better than any gingerbread from out there. Did factory reset, cache, system and have been fine ever since. Such a relief to have a usable keyboard, UI, browser(tabs), and stability too. Trebuchet launcher is basically stock. Allows nice scrollable Widgets and resizing.

Thanks for writing these out, made it nice and easy.

can this be done but with dual boot so webOS still available?
