Only Want CM9 on HP Touchpad

Is it possible to wipe webos completely off the touchpad and just have CM9. I don't want to have duo boot. i want to start my touchpad and have it boot straight to CM9. Thanks,

No, the android builds need webos to boot properly. And this has been asked many times before.

So nothing changed with CM9? I don't know how much you know of this, but I was curious as well. Especially when they said that a single-boot option was coming "soon". That was when CM9 A.0 got dropped. Honestly mboot is just a trashy middleman and I'd like to remove all of this crap if possible.

You can change the timeout of moboot to 1 second (not sure if 0). The cyboot package in preware can change it, or I'm sure there are some adb commands to change it. webOS takes very little space. And without hardware video decoding space shouldn't be a concern.
I like having a fall back OS. Plenty of times installing a ROM that doesn't remove the old ROMs moboot entry I have been stuck with boot failures on everything, and the only way I know to fix that is in webOS.
I honestly cannot think of a legitimate reason for this. A 5 second delay is hardly a burden, and whatever space is left over after plenty of webOS apps has always been way more than enough for me.

Out of curiosity, where did you hear that? I've never seen that mentioned on twitter, and I just verified its not on the rootzwiki page for CM9.

I like having webos but I guess if or when android can Skype and other things that currently don't work maybe then I might not want it

no, camera works in CM7 but not for skype
Camera doesnt work on CM9/ICS....i think it will be last thing to get fixed as its not very important for many people...

You know, I may have made that up. I swear they said something, but all I could find was that a tri-boot was coming "soon". My bad. Honestly, it's not that I'm worried about space, I just have an OCD for throwing out the trash. I'm like the opposite of a hoarder. So, if I'm not using it, at all, might as well get rid of it. I like the idea of just running a 100% Android, no filler. I don't need a camera, and I don't need skype. I'm not using Netflix at the moment, and I can't remember the last time I booted webOS for anything. Why have it, you know?

I get that. I'm the same way about apps, emails, icons on my desktop etc.
I used webOS again today. Had classicnerd installed, and went to install the KSM. KSM gave boot failure in moboot, and classicnerd gave boot loop. I had to delete the uImage for both (using internalzpro in webOS), wipe data, cache, dalvik, and install again to get it working. This seems to happen to me every time I go from one ROM to a different one. And I do that weekly as everything gets updated. Maybe its because I have TWRP and CWM installed, so the boot space is full ... I don't know. But if I can't boot into android and can't use adb, so webOS is the only option. Maybe I should webOS doctor the device back to stock and start over.

I don't ever actually use webOS as anything other then a default recovery system (and never have used it!)
I recommend rebooting into the webOS recovery and using ACMEUninstaller, then put your new files back on the SD card and reinstall CM9. Unless something is very messed up with the webOS partition itself (which would be very uncommon) I have found webOS doctor is generally not needed.
Initially I wanted to only have CM7/9 on my touchpad, but after using it for a while I have found quite a few occasions where I have needed to just start over with problems from android. WebOS has been a nice fallback for getting in and out of recovery and seeing how it uses almost no space I came to the conclusion that even if it is possible to remove it, it acts almost like a factory recovery for android simply by being there.

Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, but I was wondering if anyone was able to successfully get adb to recognize their Touchpad. I just installed CM9 on mine and would like to remove AOKP and a bricked kernel from moboot. Any suggestions?

Internalzpro in webOS (preware package) enable master mode in settings, navigate to /boot/ and delete the offending uImage.[name] files. As I said previously this function is the only reason I ever blog into webOS. You can also rename the moboot entries by renaming the file's extension.
Or ... you can try the commands in a terminal emulator right on the device.

Factory Reset Android??

Hey guys,
I am unfortunatly selling my HP TouchPad on eBay. I have both CM9 (an early build, haven't updated it in a while) and WebOS.
My question is, can I factory reset both Android and WebOS without losing the dual boot operating systems? I of course want to wipe all data before I ship it to the buyer. I want a clean Android and clean WebOS.
Thanks for any help, appreciated!
EDIT: Was able to delete data from Android using ClockWorkMod. Now how do I go about doing so in WebOS?

In webos click the aroow on right side of bottom dock, then device info, then reset options. Unless someone can offer a better way (I am pretty new to touchpad.)

To be completely sure you get all of your info off the TouchPad, I would use the webOS doctor. I havent done this since installing CM9 on mine, but I'm pretty sure the webOS doctor wipes Android off as well but I'm not sure about the partition itself. But if you are wanting to sell your TouchPad with Android on it, I would guess just use the webOS doctor and then install Android again. Be sure to format the SD card too. Probably before Doctoring.
P.S. This is just what I would do, not necessarily the method that HAS to be done.

Webos doctor wont remove Android.All u would have to do would be ACMEInstall moboot and cwm, Android would still be there with all your details.
I would do a factory reset inWebos and sd wipe.
then the same in Android an flash the latest CM9 Nightly and make sure there are no nandroid backups in recovery folder.

Wanted to bring this back alive...... I'm in the process of hopefully selling my TP and am running into the same problems. I want to sell it as dual booted with WebOS and Android. I cannot find the ACMEuninstaller nor do I want to lose the Android portion.
My question is, if I install a new Android ROM then boot into WebOS and do the factory reset through the setting menu. Would that bring me to stock as can be without adding any accounts to either OS thus being able to sell dual booted with none of my information? I have a backup of my current ROM and set up in case anything happens and will be deleted once everything goes through and is set up.
Please any thoughts, ideas or worst case scenario a link to the ACMEuninstaller would be of great help. Thanks in advance

I have posted a link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30249437&postcount=625 and probably a lot of other stuff you may find useful.
Personally I would and have first uninstalled android then done a factory reset with Webos that was to get it repaired by HP, when it came back I reinstalled Android
Hope this helps.

How to install Ubuntu to N7?

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Installation
Been reading a bit about this on the web, but have not seen much of it here on XDA. Wondering who has tried this? How hard is it? Would you be able to run the installation from a LiveCD, or do you have to have a Linux box in order to do it?
Hopefully a LiveCD will work. I had an Ubuntu laptop, but had to install Win7 to it so that I can interface with my bike's ECU. The tuning software only runs under Windows...
It is a novel idea, running a desktop OS on the tablet, making it more like a laptop that fits in your pocket, rather than a phone OS with a larger font for the larger screen.
Anyone brave enough to take the plunge? It is supposed to be reversible, simply run one of the "Nexus Toolkit" apps to reflash back to stock...

did you get this to work? i've got ubuntu installed on an external hdd but it won't boot...just auto-boots the internal rom after ~10s.

Got Ubuntu installed and running using multirom. Look at the link suggested above......I don't use external HDD as I can just install and boot from internal storage without effecting the android ROM.

i did follow those instructions and it works up until i want to actually boot to ubuntu. i get the multiboot screen and when i go to USB, it should refresh and allow me to boot to ubuntu, but instead it craps out and boots the internal rom instead.

Someone needs to make a flashable for this. Unfortunately my Ubuntu pc setup wont recognize my internet/tether setup, therefore i cant install with the specified process. Guaranteed to be a big hit if its made into a flashable. So whats the input on it? Good, bad, OK?

Yeah, a flashable would be ideal I think, and just install it like any other ROM through TWRP. Is that possible? Is it as simple as someone doing a clean, barebones install, and then making a Nandroid or something and zipping it up, and then others can download and "restore" it?
If it were a clean install, no apps, factory wipe before the install, no gmail account setup, etc... Would that work? I mean, the hardware is all identical, so as long as there is no personal apps or data, I would think that it could work, no?
Question is, who is brave enough to try it. haha

Yes it can be done and I'm extremely surprised it hasn't been yet. It may be too buggy or early yet.

[Q] Lost root, moboot, and cant boot into recovery

Was running moboot .38 with twrp 2.5.0.0 when I decided to flash schizoid 1.25(?) over the march 6th release. Didn't like it so I wiped ROM and restored backup. After reboot, it went straight to schizoid. That's all it will do.
The question is: can I, and how can i put my HP touchpad back to "stock" so that I may use acme installer3 and start from the beginning?

You could try using ACMEUninstaller, but I'm not 100% certain what will happen.

Make sure your TP is chargerd and reboot it using the power and home key button. Once you do that hold down the volume up key and while it plugged into the PC. That will get you into WebOS Recovery so that you can push acmeunistaller then you will have a HP Touchpad with WebOS only were you can reinstall the rom from acmeinstall2 or acmeinstall3. I had the same issuse.

thanks!
After much trial and error, I was able to reset the touchpad and install my fave ROM (schizoid). The instructions in the posted threads weren't that great on details, but the answers I was looking for were found in deep in those threads. Thanks again for all the help!:good

It would be useful if you could say exactly what steps you took to make it easier for anyone else that may experience a similar problem.

First i did all the steps up to the "open Novaterm", since i was having trouble with it(like many other people). After that, i followed the instructions found at the top of page 12 in that thread. this got me to a fresh start so that i could install acmeinstaller3 and any rom. Good Luck.

Did you remove android before using doctor? You must use acmeuninstaller to remove android then use doctor.

I did uninstall and doctor but gets stuck 12%, I tried many doctir version. I even did the new partition making and it created lvm2

Several threads other than the one I posted. Read through a few. As a last resort there is tdebrick. But that should be a last resort last ditch effort.

Personally I wouldn't be using tpdebrick in this instance. If the touchpad was totally dead and unresponsive with no signs of life at all, then yes, go ahead and use tpdebrick. But this touchpad is bootable into webos recovery, so thats not necessary to use tpdebrick.
As Moody66 says, there are several threads, in this forum and others, dedicated to this problem, - your solution lies there, but not tpdebrick
Peace

Again. There are already several walk through on this. On this forum and wiki. Google webos doctor stuck at 12%. Takes seconds. There is literally 45 step by steps.
