Battery Capacity
There are actually two battery sizes for the HP TouchPad, 6000 and 6300 mAh but you have a good point. The info came from a credible source (Nevertells) but perhaps he made a typo. I was supposed to update some points in that info but was busy this weekend. Thanks for noticing I'll fix that bit up.
Here is the updated post
5)You may wish to monitor your battery drain history during sleep.
-Install the the free app Battery Monitor Widget:
-To setup the Battery Calibration correctly for the HP TouchPad,
-go to BMW settings/calibration/Battery capacity/ and set it to either 6300 (*F29C) or 5800 (*S29C) and tap OK
-Note* See the Battery p/n # on the original packaging.
Or
You can also use Cool-Tools to monitor your battery drain in real time.

Since I cracked my TP open for my otg mod, I can confirm that the battery in mine is 6000mah. I have had others report 6300, so it probably just came down to the OEM supplier.

Thanks I stumbled my way through it in the end, but why should i use ACME3? It worked ok for me with ACME2?
Thanks

Thanks

Use one of the apps mentioned in the OP to verify your system partition size...
Acme2 will be about 350mb.
Acme3 will be about 400mb.
Cm10.0 and higher has a larger partition requirement and needs the extra space for all the files, Gapps, etc. Cm9/cm7 was smaller. Sure it might install and seem ok, but something likely got left out and will cause issues, or the lack of a minimum of free space will do the same thing.
To fix it, u will need to run AcmeUninstaller, then reinstall with AcmeInstaller3. Those cminstall packs in the OP work well with the directions in the OP if u don't already have all 4 files. It's a good idea imo to use the moboot 3.8 version as well.
All of this is mentioned in the OP.

Battery Capacity
Thanks for your hands on experience here. I was discussing this with Nevertells over at Rootzwiki trying to determine the actual sizes. Have you heard any reports of tablets having 5800? I know it was discussed in a thread @ Rootzwiki but I can't seem to find it now. I guess its just a slight difference and shouldn't effect the battery stats too much. I wonder if using the wrong capacity could be responsible for the sudden power drain some users have experienced.

[Video] How to fix the A6 firmware Battery Drain Problem on the HP TouchPad
The Problem:
Developer James Sullins, Aka Jcsullins, has informed HP TouchPads users that there is a problem with Touchpads A6 Firmware. This issue can cause an usually high battery drain during sleep. This problem occurs overtime while running both CyanogeMod and WebOS, on the HP TouchPad. As a results the Touchpads battery drains more quickly with daily use and the overall life span is reduced.
The Solution:
Reflashing the A6 Firmware effectively fixes the problem but may need to be repeated as a part of regular HP TouchPad maintenance. Watch this video and follow the step by step instructions to reflash your own Touchpads A6 Firmware.
How to Reflash the A6 Firmware
1) Boot to WebOs and in the "Just Type" box enter the following: webos20090606

Everything works pretty good on this ROM. I did find a bug where I sometimes have click links multiple times when browsing. Otherwise, its been great, battery life is better too. Thanks.
Just did the battery fix along with a rom update and everything went flawlessly. Along with fixing the battery drain issue, I also noticed that my TP is no longer heating up on the touchstone charger after it's full. Great job guys.
Only one question … how often does this need to be performed realistically? All I've heard in the instructions is it will need to be reflashed from time to time when it gets corrupted again. Just seems strange that a firmware update doesn't stick.
Thanks to everybody for the great work!

Is the battery drain problem something that exists with CM10 only? or is it a problem for CM9 also?
Is jcullins CM10 build solid enough for daily use at this point?

Hi Guys
I wanted to check if any of you have had any luck getting torrents to work on the TouchPad?
I've tried a number of different versions of the JCSullins ROMs, and am currently on the 20130418 CM10 build. Basically the torrents work fine with the screen on, but they seem to drop out as soon as the screen switches off. I'm using the option to keep the Wi-Fi awake during sleep but it doesn't make any difference. I've tried this on both the uTorrent and tTorrent clients and both experience the same problem. This is on a fully clean install with only the BT client installed. Problem seems to be there on the CM9 JCSullins ROMs as well (haven't tested with the official CM ROMs as I get bad battery life on them).
Perhaps there is some app that can be used to hold the device awake while the screen is switched off?
Cheers

I have never had this problem 
Torrents have always worked since CM9-10.1 flawlessly too... I use tTorrent pro and BitTorrent

Is WIFI dropping off when the screen is turned off? Wouldn't hurt to check. Could also just be the app you're using.
Those two work fine here too.I have never had this problem

Can you guys let me know which build you are using? The Wifi isn't dropping when the screen is off. As a work around, I'm using the "PowerManager" app to hold a partial wakelock while downloading torrents and this seems to have resolved this issue.

Every build I've tried
-CM9 from JC, nightly, OAT & SGA
-AOKP ICS & JB 4.1.2
-CM10 from JC (ALL builds)
-CM10.1 & Evervolv (turn WiFi optimization off in WiFi settings in 4.2.2)
These are the only daily drivers I've had and these all worked fine

Congratulations you have now installed Android onto your HP TouchPad, Have Fun.
Note(Important) If you're unable to install Android and get a message like "failed to connect to server" you may have encountered a problem when installing either Java or Novacom. Try to uninstall and reinstall both of those programs. You may need to disable your Antivirus or firewall software, this could be blocking the connection to your PC. If its still not working try another computer or laptop, this fixes the problem 99% of the time.
CyanogenMod package contents explained:
-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-9-20130929-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip (Installs your Android Operating System)

10/19/2013 Builds based on Jcsullins CM10 that include the Master key exploit fixes: By iMark90
The Problem: A Master key security exploit issue was discovered in CM9/CM10 that was later fixed in all Android 4.2+ builds. However this still effects many HP TouchPad CM10 builds. You can test for these exploits by installing and running the Bluebox security test App here.
The solution: RootzWiki member iMarck90 has included the Master key fixes into two new builds of Jcsullins CM10. These builds by iMarck90 are entirely based on the fantastic work of Jcsullins, Dorregaray, and Dr Marbel, et al. Install these new CM10 builds by dirty flashing them over your current build of CM9/CM10.
Note:In addition to these fixes iMarck90 has included all the current upstream changes like, Jcsullins newer WiFi drivers V4.5 and Bluetooth fixes.

[Video] How to fix the A6 firmware Battery Drain Problem on the HP TouchPad
The Problem:

I'm back with some NEW WIFI DRIVERS TO TEST:
The version I uploaded last week had the following issues that I hope are now fixed:
- A deadlock bug with caused SODs (sleeps of death).
- Setting "Keep Wif on during sleep" to "always" would not keep the wifi connected during sleep.
I've also enabled "firmware crash recovery" which might help those very rare people seeing wifi firmware crashes.
Install with recovery: http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/testing/update-cmtp-ath6kl-v20130721-test.zip
Note that the above should only be installed on my latest CM10 or latest CM9. For others (i.e. CM10.1), the following
source is available for building a compatible set of modules: https://github.com/jcsullins/backports-3.10-27CM10.1 on the HP TouchPad
Hello HP TouchPad users, Great News! SGA has recently posted a build of CM 10.1 for the HP TouchPad with working sound and SDcard. Its almost fully functional minus the Bluetooth. This build lacks some H/W video acceleration but XDA member webdroidmt reports that the latest Adreno drivers fix this problem and it will likely be included into the next build. I am also seeing reasonable battery drain during sleep, as low as -5ma but with the usual spiking. This is a testing build so lets get testing! Please thank and leave SGA some feedback in his thread below.
Big thanks to SGA, jcsullins and drmarble, who all contributed to making this build. Its officially, unofficial, CM10.1 is working on the HP TouchPad!
