hello everyone we are back at it in a hardware canucks video today we'll be guiding you through the installation process of this engine mod for the touchpad nas engine mod is an enhanced version of Google Android and we'd like to give credit to Sinjin mod team for developing the software along with roots wiki forms where all this information can be found now a quick disclaimer before we begin is that this software in this installation is use it at your own risk as there potential problems with the software and installation and it may cause damage to your device now HP has expressed its support for this engine mod development however they do say that it may void your warranty now the link in the description is of the actual forum on root wiki once you are there we recommend reading the disclaimer and potentially a number of times as it goes into detail information of what we'll be doing it outlines some potential risks you may encounter and provide some troubleshooting advice in case something goes wrong now once you have read the disclaimer the very bottom of the article has all the download links and let's do a quick rundown of what they are first the Installer and readme file then we have the uninstaller which has been added with the alpha 2 version allows the removal of the android from your touch pad then we have the actual Android operating system labeled cm7 and today we are installing the alpha 2 version then there's the clockwork recovery tool which allows for updates to be installed on a touchpad without needing to remove the Android which is very convenient and lastly is the mobile file that triggers the installation on the touch pad so once you download these files I recommend putting them in the same folder so you know exactly where they are located the ACMA installer which which was the readme and installer file it's a zip file and it only contains two files which I have already extracted a quick tip if you open the readme file this is just a text file so if you want to copy the entire thing and paste it into a Word document it would automatically adjusts for the sizing of the spaces and just a much easier format to read and I do recommend also reading this prior watching this video so you know exactly what we're going to be doing and what are the steps we'll be going through and one thing you want to leave all these files all the files in it's a zip format because they'll be placed onto the touchpad without further ado let's dive right into it another thing you will need would be no calm no overcome as a software developed by HP TouchPad that allow is the communication between your computer and the HP device and that's very important here because we are making our device bootable from a USB and overcome will allow that portal between the device and the computer and to initialize that installation now simchah provides links for all three systems and since we're using Windows we'll just go on to this link which I have open here already you can list all the entire webOS software developer kit but you can also just select some options within it but all we need is the normal comb driver which is installed with the software developer kit so you can download this entire software developer kit or just Google Nova cum driver download and find it at your own time but once that's installed you should have a folder I have just the driver downloaded and installed and the driver is installed in program files on your local disk and under Palm Inc folder and this is what she was what should look like so you can see the normal com driver over there which is the executable file alright so now the next step once you have all the files already all you have to do is connect your HP TouchPad through the USB provided to your computer once that's connected it should recognize from the HP TouchPad that it has connected to the computer click to use as a USB device so once you click to use as a USB device it should be recognized by your computer open the HP TouchPad volume and create a new folder called CM install now in this folder we will place all the following files we need the mo boot file just copy it over we need the if you if you do want to do to install the clock work recovery tool also place that in there and we need the actual Android system so we'll be using the alpha 2 version we'll copy that over onto the HP TouchPad next what we want to do is we want to unmount the HP TouchPad from the computer using your mouse not the actual USB you want to USB to remain inside the computer you want the USB to be connected to the computer in the touchpad so we're going to eject the HP TouchPad from the computer okay so the HP TouchPad has been removed as you can see we're back to the home screen next thing we want to do is we want to make the touchpad bootable through USB so one thing you can do that you have to go into your settings go into device info reset options and you have to click restart once you click restart you have to hold the up power volume up button once we see a little picture like right now and that will make the USB bootable make the HP HP TouchPad bootable from your P as you can see now once we receive this logo here we see if Palmanova come booty which means that the Nova comm recognizes that both devices both the touchpad device and the computer are communicating between each other so the next thing for us to do would be to copy the Acme installer file into the palm ink folder alright so now we have the ACMA installer file be in place in the pound ink folder that will initialize the installation now we just have to input a code that will trigger that installation so we have to first navigate through the command prompt window on windows if you're using Linux or or a Mac it be similar operation on the Mac its terminal you'll be going exactly the same directions basically into the folder so now we have to if you don't know how to navigate through folders and command prompt just a quick tutorial press CD your volume disk with which were on a local disk C colon slash use quotations to indicate the exact name of the folder you want to navigate to Program Files quotation close another another slash then we go on into pound Inc make sure to type them exactly as they are written now we now press ENTER and as you can see we are inside the Program Files palm in folder now we have to input the certain following code that will initialize the installation so we type in over comm boot mam space Acme installer now what this will do is will initialize the installation from the computer it will trigger the boot a mobile boot file on HP TouchPad and that will trigger the installation so if everything has been placed correctly let's cross our fingers and hope that alpha 2 version is now installed as you can see here the installation has started to extract the files or what it seems to to be doing it seems to work properly and I'll just wait for the installation to finish and it should put right into Android so we're just gonna wait for this relation to complete and we're gonna take a look at the Android alpha 2 version so now we are preparing to shut down meaning everything has been installed and hopefully if everything told successfully we should boot into Android without any issues and this is another extra allows for a little menu so you can select with the bone buttons either going down or up if you want to boot back into where West if you want to use clockwork recovery or if you just want to simply put into into it the very first loading screen is gonna take a little bit longer than the rest of them and that's just the nature of the first boot and as you go and further you will experience faster boot times as you can see we've booted into the Android successfully just let's try some options out as you can see we have the menus everything seems to be working properly now quick thing if you want to put back into webOS let's hold the power button down we are good in here you have to reboot and it gives us a nice option to reboot to webOS and that's really great you don't have the option so you click OK and if everything works perfectly we should look put right back into webOS and you can see the HP logo is showing up now if the HP logo starts to glow that means the boot into the web West is successful and everything is working perfectly and if you want to move back in to Android it should automatically as a default boot into it if you power off the system and turn it back on or you just go into back the reset options and restart and you are going to be prompt with a the select window where you can select either the webOS system or the Android as you can see the HP logo starts to glow which means we are booting into webOS successfully as you can see we are booted back into the webOS system and ro it has been installed successfully thank you guys for watching I hope you enjoyed this tutorial I hope it's been very simple if you have any questions regarding the steps that I've taken please leave them in the comments below and we'll see you next
