I love my Touchpad. I've had a 16gig for a few months now. I found a great deal on a 32 gig in "immaculate" condition with an HP case and Touchstone on eBay. I couldn't help myself , I don't need a forth tablet. I bid low. I won. It will be here Friday.
Edit:6/15/13
I'm going to add some links to my to do list below. In the hopes that new Touchpad users may find them useful.
Plan of Attack (pointers and input would be greatly appreciated)
1.Unbox everything. Turn it on. Is it truly "immaculate"? Make some notes for eBay feedback. (Pay careful attention to your USB cable. Plug it in to the charger and wiggle it a bit where it connects to the Touchpad. Does the charge symbol go on and off as you wiggle it? If so get a new cable. Oem Touchpad cables tend to fail. You will need to be sure you have a reliable cable before moving on to any other steps.)
2. Is it already dual boot? - ( If not it will boot right into webOS. If it is it will boot into the "Moboot" menu. There will be several boot options there including webOS (HP stock software) and Cyanogenmod(Android)
3. Log in and set up webOS
a. Set up your email,Wifi, etc.
b.set up preware (allows 3rd party apps in webOS) - http://www.the-digit...k/#.UbybGuebzjJ
(When you plug your usb cable into the Touchpad a menu will open up in the top right hand corner of the screen. Do not choose "USB Drive" Choose "Close" for this Operation and the A6 procedure listed below.)
4. Install Cyanogenmod - Since I have already set up two Touchpads on my computer it is good to go with all necessary software. (if you haven't set up a Touchpad before this is the best place to start.)- http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31548-ro...l-jcsullins-cm10-preview-builds-edited-61213/
5. Start with a clean install - Even if it is already dual boot I will run acme uninstaller and install cwm6 and cm9 with acme installer3.
a.run a6 fix - http://rootzwiki.com...mware-can-help/
b. Resize my internal storage to avoid the curse of the 50 app limit .- (note: no need to run the first error check zip. This has been built in now. Jump right to option 3) http://rootzwiki.com...of-cyanogenmod/
6. Transfering to a new Touchpad -(Now here is where I am a bit in uncharted territory.)
a. Back up my fresh installation
b. Copy a recent back up from my 16 gig to the new Touch pad
c. Restore this back up to the new Touchpad. <--I've done this now and it works like a charm.
d. Clear cache and dalvik cache
e. Cross my fingers and reboot.
Wala! All set up and moved in to the new Touchpad. Ready for cm10 if I'm so inclined.
Thoughts??
