[VIDEO] Idiot's Guide - How to Install CM10 on the HP Touchpad - TouchPad Development

This is my FINAL VERSION of my Idiots Guide for the HP Touchpad. Now that a stable enough version of CM10 is available, I finally created a guide for you.
Here are links to the files you will need:
CM10 03/04/2012 Build
GAPPS 10/11/2012
ACMEInstaller3
Moboot 3.8
Anything else that you might need, you'll find on http://www.reverendkyle.com

Thanks for the video. It came just in time as I just purchased a used TP that had an older version of android ICS already on it and I wanted to upgrade but seeing as how this is the first device I have sort of inherited already rooted, it is hard to just jump in and know everything that I would have learned from the beginning like i did with my previous phones.
Anyways, I did everything you said except I used the newest AOKP rom. But my tp is still booting to the older version of android that I had on it. Any ideas? Feel free to pm me if you prefer that.

If the AOKP ROM is using a unique uImage file, then you may see two different entries on your moboot screen for two different Android builds.
What does your moboot menu have in it?

Maybe your install failed. Try downloading and flashing it again. If you're trying AOKP JB, you should wipe both /data and dalvik cache to avoid a boot loop!
If using AcmeInstaller3 remember to rename the ROM with ”update-” at the beginning so that it looks like update-AOKPJB_UnOfficial.zip

I believe it was the "update-" thing that was keeping it from updating. I followed another video tutorial which provided files that had the "update" in front of them and it worked.
I haven't tried yet but now that it worked will the regular method of wiping and flashing through recovery work? (Like, if I want to try out different JB Roms) Are there any files that need to be in a particular place for the recovery method to work? I tried that method first and it would never take, would always revert back to the original version. Don't know if, because I just jumped in and haven't been here from the beginning, I am just missing a necessary step that is hardly even talked about anymore.

Love your work Rev! Thank you again for everything that you do!
Update went like clockwork, unfortunately I can't seem to get the camera to work (not a terrible loss, but I was sorta excited to see it actually working with this release).

I can attest to the improved battery life on this cm10 build. Amazingly, it holds battery life when it's sleeping now.

Thank you so much for taking the time in making the video for us. Your instructions are easy to follow, hard for anyone to mess up.
(The hosting site for the files is not working, not sure if you were aware)

Hi, I have CM9 running on my TP. With the latest release, the camera works great. But before updating it to CM10, I'd like to know about the issues currently in this build.
Thanks.

Where does one go when the goo.im site appears down, to get the needed files? Mirror somewhere?

Don't go for external mirrors unless some recognized developer suggests them. Best will be to wait for goo.im to come up again, being a prime site, it won't be down for long.

The goo servers do appear to go down on occasion. They always come back up a bit later.

Problem with installing GAPPS using ACMEInstaller3
Excellent tutorial for an idiot like me. Thanks for again for the guide! Question:
I followed the instructions step by step and was able to get CM10 installed successfully. However, I wasn't able to get GAPPS installed using this method. From researching I understand sometimes there is a problem installing GAPPS through ACMEInstaller3 and one can simply get GAPPS installed through CWM Recovery. However, I would like to use/have TWRP instead so is there a way to get GAPPS installed properly through ACMEInstaller3 and then I can install TWRP through GooManager?
Alternatively, is there a way to install GAPPS without using CWM Recovery?
Or, I guess I can install CWM Recovery first, then install TWRP Recovery, then remove CWM Recovery while keeping TWRP and not go back to the stock Recovery? I tried to search the forums and wasn't able to find instructions on removing CWM Recovery WHILE still keeping CM10 and not go back to the Stock recovery.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

@reverendkjr - appreciate your videos. they're awesome. definitely helped me (and several other friends) many times and saved a ton of time. super easy to follow.

Yes you can install TWRP normally, flash gapps in CWM then install goomanager app, open and click the 3 dot menu and install custom recovery script then it will install it
Now using a root file manager go to the directory called boot and delete uimage.cwm.img (this is from memory but still should be correct

My goodness you have forgotten everything, you will need to install acmeuninstaller 3, moboot, CMW and the rom you want along with the relevant gapps. Sounds complicated this thread will make it easy

[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/showthread.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/showthread.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
Code:
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..

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?

I'm getting the same problem. My first install was through ACMEInstaller 2. Then I copied the other CM9 file from dalingrin's post and installed via ClockworkMod. Same issue. Here is what I am running:

I have now re-installed via ACME2 for the fifth time. Now I get ICS to work but at random times i get a blue screen and need to reboot. Any ideas on how to fix the blue screen?
Thank you for the guide. Just wanted to share my experience. Was coming from XRON 2.9.1.
NOTE: My instructions are for people who have TWRP installed. I use it exclusively instead of CWR. My instructions also include a Market fix that allows the installation of tablet apps. The market will NOT auto update due to the modified market apk. I also say format /system, /data, /cache, and dalvik, probably overkill, but it works great. If you're not comfortable formatting everything, don't
Downloaded CM9 Alpha 0/0.5 from dalingrin's thread, here.
Downloaded Gapps from sprice5's XDA thread, here.
Downloaded modified Market apk from PhantomGamer's Rootzwiki thread.
Opened Gapps zip with 7zip and deleted Vending.apk and replaced with PhantomGamer's modified apk. Renamed to Vending.apk
Renamed MarketUpdater.apk -> MarketUpdater.apk.bak as PhantomGamer states in his thread.
Booted to TWRP, backed up my CM7 install.
Wiped data, system, cache, and davlik.
Flashed CM9 Alpha 0/0.5, flashed modified Gapps, flashed charger/system UI fix -> found in dalingrin's thread, here.
Rebooted. Welcomed by ICS goodness.
Synced Gmail account, opened Market and downloaded Reddita (Tablet Reddit App). Works great!
Thanks to dalingrin, sprice5, PhantomGamer and of course the CM team!
Everything is working great.

Question about CWM vs TWRP

I am real new to the KindleFire community but so far loving my Kfire. I see in slot of posts they say to use TWRP to install or update a ROM. Since I have CWM installed can I use it instead are they interchangeable for installing files?
Hope that make sense.
Thanks
Rod
most people are taking about twrp because it was the first recovery for the kf
cwm is quite new for the kf
you can use both to install roms ...
Cwm is able to be updated by current developers. Twrp looks cool, but just needs to be updated. If someone updates the reboot wrappers it'd be a winner. But I do like and prefer cwm

yeah twrp is dead for our device. cwm is still alive though

Is there or link or how-to to swtich from TWRP to CWM? Does CWM have all the features as TWRP? I have been using TWRP since I rooted the KF, have used it to back up, flash new roms to try out, flash back to my backup. CWM does all this, just dosn't have the nice CWM interface?

The easiest way is to use THIS method, just be sure to unzip the file on your Kindle rather than on a computer or it may not work correctly. The only difference I've noticed between CWM and TWRP is that CWM does not compress the backup so the file is a lot bigger, my backups used to be in the low 500mb range and now they are in the low 800's.
Any particular reason to migrate to CWM? I have TWRP from the first day ant it doing a job very well. So, did CWM have any new features?

Development should be the main reason imo I think the interface looks way better. I got annoyed by the flickering backlight with twrp. It does all the same things, but cwm looks better. Plus before I switched, twrp wouldn't flash roms or gapps all the time, it would get stuck and I would have to reboot

For me there was not a reason to use TWRP as I have been using CWM for the last several years on smartphones and was more comfortable with it. I also read several articles where people had issues with TWRP so with as much problems as I was having trying to root my kindle because of USB driver I wanted to stick with something I know. So I thought it best to stick with and old friend I was used too. Not saying one is better than the other I just like CWM better for me and think it gives me more options to perform operations on my phone and kindle.

How have the pros and cons changed with the intro of TWRP 2.1? I am currently using CWM touch but prefer the TWRP interface, but don't want to sacrifice any features.

all the reboot option in twrp are still broken so Cwm is still the way to go and mabe im ocd but i like haveing Cwm on my phone and tablet plus you dont have to worry about accidenty hiting reboot to recovery and being in a boot loop
different versions of CWM touch?
I just switched from CWM touch (DooMLorD) v1.0 Final to v5.0.2.7-kf1.5 I was wondering what the differences are? I tried the Change UI color feature, but it doesn't seem to work, just stays red. is there something I'm missing? and what else was changed?
its just cleaned up. not sure why it wont change colors, works fine on my device I tested all the colors when I posted the screen shots.

Hmmm....I followed the instructions to the letter, even retried it, then rebooted, no luck, installed TWRP, rebooted, reinstalled CWMT 1.5 still no luck with colors. It's not really a big deal, I'm just Being kinda OCD! Everything else about it work perfect though....

[HOLY CRAP][SPRINT P100] Stock to CM10 JellyBean - Complete Walkthrough

*********************************************
CM10 is now available.
Requirements: Root
From rooted stock or a custom rom, just download and install updated Rom Manager from the Play Store and download CM10 Nightly and GAPPS. Reboot into ClockWorkMod, factory wipe, disable signature check, flash CM10 twice. The first time partitions our tabs and reboots. Flashing a second time is for good measure. Then flash GAPPS. Done.
Note: I am not sure if Rom Manager can flash ClockworkMod directly. I personally updated from ICS > CM10 by downloading CM10 and GAPPS through GooManager and flashing manually in ClockWorkMod.
Its been reported that you can go directly from rooted stock to CM10. I've actually completed everything below to get to ICS first (Stock > ICS > CM10 JB).
CM10 is a much better experience. The tab works much better, doesn't freak out, lasts longer, plays better.
*********************************************
Wow. Lots of different, confusing, and scattered information about how to go from stock Gingerbread to the latest CM9 build. It is all very confusing and honestly most of the useful information isn't even on this site. So I figured I would help myself (and others) in creating a very detailed walkthrough of the process required to successfully get from GB to CM9 Build 7.
**This specifically outlines the methods to take a COMPLETELY STOCK Sprint Galaxy Tab 7" SPH-P100, unrooted, to a ICE CREAM SANDWICH rom. I "think" it might also work for the Verizon CDMA and a few others. I think the ROM itself is a general overall generic build for all 7" Gtabs. So heads up that if you have a different version, you might want to use this as a guide rather then a step-by-step.**
BACKUP EVERYTHING YOU MAY NEED BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY THIS PROCESS WILL FORMAT YOUR GALAXY TAB
GET CONNECTED!
We need to download Heimdall's App and his Drivers (Main URL). This is the first confusing steps as everyone suggests using an older version, but the included drivers don't work on newer Windows OS's. So you have to mix and match a few different versions to get it working. I've already compiled an archive with everything you need: Heimhall Mixture /w zImage & ClockWorkMod 5.0.2.7
1. Extract everything to a simple folder [ex. C:\GTABICS ]
2. Turn off Gtab. Hold VolDown+Power until you get to a downloading screen
3. C:\GTABICS\Drivers\zadiag.exe to load drivers [try running as Administrator]
4. C:\GTABICS\heimdall-frontend.exe to start the process
5. Kind of confusing. Focus on the "BROWSE" buttons. Look for "Kernel(zImage)" on the left and "Recovery" on the right. Hit browse for each one and select the appropriate file from C:\GTABICS. Obviously "Kernel(zImage)" = "zImage" and "Recovery" = "recovery.bin".
6. Make sure Kernel(zImage) and Recovery both have files selected and a checked box. While GTAB is at the black Downloading screen: Hit "START".
7. The process is pretty fast. Don't rush. At this point your tab will probably just bootloop anyway.
LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD
Now you have ClockWorkMod installed and a proper kernel, most flashers will feel really at ease right now. But there are a few little quirks that will cause this to go bad. You have to install 2 versions of ICS to get to the latest; One using the existing partition table, and a second that will update to a newer format. You obviously have to install GAPPS like always with a CM rom, but not so fast, you have to manually "MOUNT /SYSTEM" in CWM before it will even take. And there is the fact that you have to manually open and edit the CM9 Build7 update and remove code....[holy crap].
But it is pretty easy once you go through it once.
REQUIRED FILES
JT1136 CM9 V5
JT1136 CM9 V7 UPDATE
GAPPS
Prepare CM9 v7 Update
1. On your PC, open "update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-galaxytab7c-KANG-BUILD7.zip" and browse to META-INF\com\google\android
2. Copy "updater-script" to your desktop and open with Notepad and remove the first 3 lines or just Download it.
3. Drag and drop the update-script back into the META-INF\com\google\android folder, overwriting the existing one.
If all goes well, you are now done with the PC.
COPY FILES AND FLASH
1. Copy Build5, the new Build7, and GAPPS to your microSD card.
2. Boot into ClockWorkMod: Power off. Hold VOLUP + POWER
3. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
4. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build5 and Flash
5. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
5.5 [OPTIONAL] You should be able to boot into ICS at this point if you want to make sure build5 flashed properly before upgrading to build7
6. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build7 and Flash
At this step, my GTab rebooted in the middle of the process the first time. It freaked me out but I assume (now) that since it changed the partition tables, it needed to reset. So I did it a second time just to be safe:
7. Flash zip from SDCard: locate Build7 and Flash
8. Factory Reset / clear cache / wipe Dalvik Cache / Breathe
Congrats. You should have a working bootable CM9 build. But lets flash GAPPS so we have our Google services. This is tricky.
9. Mounts and Storage > Mount /System
10. Flash zip from SDCard: locate GAPPS and Flash.
11. Finally [!] reset device and prepare for boot.
Now you are on the latest CM9 build [7] and have the latest GAPPS installed. Hopefully you are booting now and see the famous ICS Boot Animation. Have fun. In the future you should be able to simply download new roms as they are available and flash normally like you would any other device.
RECAP:
Drivers and Flash Tool
Pre-Edited updater-script
UPDATES
Convert to Sprint
The above procedure will set your Tab as a Verizon version. If you plan on using the Sprint cellular service or just want everything to match, then flash this via ClockWorkMod.
****************************************​
I didn't do any development work. All credit goes to Heimdall for his fantastic Recovery Flasher and jt1136 for his great stills porting this awesome rom over to our Galaxy Tabs. All I did was bump and grind my way through to see a successful working flash. I figured if I didn't post a walkthrough here, I would hate myself in 6 months when I boink something up and have to do this all over again. I would recommend you keeping all of the files safe somewhere to prevent this headache again.

i have been thinking about moving up to ICS with my sprint sph-p100
just not sure if i should jump now or wait till more things are working ?
do the things working out number those not , is it ready to be a daily driver yet?
Camera fully works but is flaky sometimes. Video out isn't working yet but he's working on it.
Other then that, its golden. Very fast and works well. Really worth it. Feels much better... like an actual tablet vs a large phone.
Iffy Camera and video out aren't worth holding back. One of the benefits is now Wiimotes and PS3 controllers will pair up using their respective apps now.

flashed sprint Tab
Hello all,
Thanks for the files and instructions! Here is my situation/question:
I bought my Gtab off of ebay flashed to work on Boostmobile's 3G network. It works great, and had no problem with the official OTA upgrade to Gingerbread.
Now I'm dying to upgrade to ICS but am worried that this would mess with my 3G connection. I can't provide any details of what went into the flashing (its not a process I understand), but I'm hoping that someone out there will.
So, if I follow the instructions in this thread will I still be able to use my Tab with the boost 3G it connects to now?
Many, many thanks for any help with this!!
Great Thanks! The first complete step-to-step instruction for installing ICS on Sprint p100.
One note- if you have Error 12 - delete all SAMSUNG USB drivers on PC, rebut and instal drivers from first archive.
At least!!! Thanks a lot!
I don't use the cellular network (sprint) but it does come up and show signal. I don't use it as a phone or anything like some people (supposedly you can install phone.apk and make calls over a voice plan).
I just use the tab as a tab. I just wanted to confirm that it appears to see the cellular network fine.

Sprint patch for what? Mind linking? No offense but posts like these without links or more information is what creates confusion.
I haven't used a patch at all and everything seems to be working. I also never heard of a patch to fix anything.

As soon as I flash version 5 I get an error that installation was aborted, what did I do wrong?

Try re-downloading the version 5 zip again. Make sure you don't edit anything within the zip before you put it on your SD card. This happened to me when I edited the version 7 zip as instructed above.
Ok. Got it working. What is the newest ver.? I'm on 4.03
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
I think 4.0.3 is the latest ported over. I have a Galaxy Nexus and 4.0.4 was just released... so I would expect delays in porting that over to unofficial devices.
The patch, I've found, is just cosmetic. Once you upgrade to ICS using this method, the build.prop has everything setup as a Verizon Device (name, settings, etc). They can all be manually changed but there is a patch that you can flash via ClockWorkMod that does everything for you.
The link was posted a few posts up.
What is DTI? I may just leave it as verizon since I get more signal. LOL
Hey what's up guys I just threw this on my sprint tab... I had a few quirks with it early... when I first flashed the clockwork mod on it, the screen was discombobulated... the capacitive touch orientation was in landscape mode while the actual screen was in portrait.
So when I had to put the files back on the tab after modifying build 7 zip. I had to figure how to unlock the screen and then and also to choose "connect USB to storage"
Then I got a little nervous while doing the wipe because it took long. I thought it froze..
Just a heads up of what could happen to other guys .
Also now after full install, I find that my ram is usually pretty low and my CPU usage is almost always @ 100 percent .
Taking away from the fluidity... any suggestions ?
I restored my email from titanium back up and also my browser bookmarks, now they don't open up or close immediately. This happens with a lot with system data restored things....

Whenever my tab starts it says encryption unsucessful, how can I get past this screen?

[HOW TO] Cyanogenmod 10 on N8010 [HOW TO]

**needs root
*************I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES*******************
Hello guys,
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, CREATE A FULL BACKUP OF YOUR DEVICE
I've been trying to flash the N8013 CM10 rom onto my N8010 for weeks and I finally figured it out how to do it.
Firstly when I tried it with CWM recovery it gave me Status 7 error. 'asserts failed' or something.
Then today, luckily I thought of getting rid of CWM recovery and replacing it with TWRP recovery.. And then I flashed the N8013 rom via TWRP recovery and woah! it was successful!
First you will need to download the TWRP recovey from : http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/p4noterf/openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-p4notewifi.tar.md5
Place this file in your sdcard (either external or internal)
Then using Odin on PC or Mobile Odin app in android, flash the recovery md5.
For PC Odin, Select PDA and choose the file. (crossed it out because Odin for PC fails to flash the TWRP md5)
For Mobile Odin, Press Recovery and choose the file.
Once completed, it will reboot into recovery and TWRP recovery will load.
Touch on Install and a file browser will appear, simply choose the file and flash it. Remember to wipe dalvik cache and cache afterwards.
You will need to download the JB Gapps from : http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip and flash that too in order to get the Google apps.
S Note and samsung features will be lost.
There is a possibility of getting back some of the 'S-features' like the snote, splanner. and also peeltab app
I got all the stock apks, reply on the thread if needed any of it.

Is everything working after flashing this ie. camera, hardware acceleration?
I've had CM 10 for the N8013 running on my N8010 for awhile now. And I flashed it with CWM Recovery.
First I wiped cache partitions, dalvik cache. Factory reset (I was coming from a Miui ROM), then went into advanced settings and did a system and data format.
Flashed the CM ROM with CWM and no problems.
I use CWM everyday for the nightly updates and have never had a problem.
But all phones seem to run a little differently and it might depend on what ROM you were on before.
Just my input.

Is there any specific way of installing TWRP recovery? I'm getting invalid md5 errors.
That's for the sgs3
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I installed TWRP on n8010 using dd method. That was the only possibility for me.
openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-p4notewif.img
Download the above file. Using adb shell or terminal emulator:
su
dd if=/sdcard/filenam.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6
Make certain that you get this command right. Typing the wrong number could result in a brick!

I'm curious about this statement. From my understanding the Peel remote doesn't work because the IR blaster drivers were never released so CM10 doesn't have them. Plus don't all of the "S Features" use the Touchwiz framework, which also isn't present in CM10?
Have you tested these claims yet? Just curious, not trying to say you haven't or couldn't possibly do it.
If anyone has any skill porting apps that require touchwiz to work then we might have a glimmer of hope. Personally i'd love to be able to use the stock handwriting recognition keyboard with CM10.
Some of the samsung features are quite useful. Also this CM10 seems to have GPU performance dropped significantly.
Use Mobile ODIN

Hello,
I checked this out for you and found it does not flash with odin for PC.
Use Mobile Odin app in android, flash the recovery md5.
1. Download the Mobile ODIN app for android and install it
2. Grant root permissions and select 'Recovery' in the options and browse and select the recovery md5
3. Flash it !
It will be successfull... im very sure of this...
Im sorry if I said it in a wrong way.

So I took the libs for the S features from the samsung stock firmware and the snote apk. I placed the libs in the lib folder of the system and apk in the system app Which shouldve installed the snote app with force. I also tried adb push , and tried installing using terminal emulator. It showed as if it installed but when I restarted, it was not there.

First of all I have to say I MISS THE SAMSUNG S FEATURES AND THE MULTITASKING
Anyway, I love the CM10 keyboard, its better than the samsung one because its easier to type with two hands (personal xp)
Camera was fixed in the latest ones.Gallery app was a bit buggy but it seems likes they fixed it.
No IR blaster support.
Screen reconizes the S pen magnet (proved in PS Touch). Though there is not 'Hovering Icon' toggle in the settings.
Didnt manage to force install the Sfeautures.
No samsungs 'true multitasking' like no overscreen apps or anything
CM is decent, clean and smoother than samsungs firmware but it lacks all the goodies mentioned above. Im not sure if CM will have support for them.
I backed up both my CM and Samsung firmware, so I restore back and fourth between CM and Samsung whenever I need snotes and bla bla
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this will be not a issue if there is a dual boot rom kernel was made ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks hiruna! It wasn't that you said it in the wrong way. I was genuinely curious if you managed to get some of the S features working.
While it kind of sucks that for the time being we can't use S note on CM10, there are a few workarounds. I personally like Papyrus for note taking, and i've started to enjoy using the OverSkreen Browser, and since it's a floating browser i can set it up over half the screen.
Thanks for giving it a try and reporting back!
Thanks for the info on the apps I will try the apps you mentioned above on CM10. Currently I'm using Samsung Firmware. Just waiting on this tablet to get into more devs' hands and hopefully it will be famous and more and more roms and support will be available.

Do a full wipe of data/cache
(Factory reset)
Then flash the nightly through twrp
Then flash jb apps
Then reboot
It did take a bit to load (in the cm boot logo) when i flashed the rom first but after that its fine.
Dont restore ur apps or data from stock. It wont work.
I've flashed the 8013 cm10.1 on my note 10.1 with cwm without a problem. Personally I don't like it no offense to the developers but it lacks a lot of stuff and the trade off isn't worth it. Them only good thing that 4.2 offers its multi user. Not to mention the lack of proper gpu performance

[Q] Google Apps won't install in CM 10

I have just installed the most recent CyanogenMod 10 release (11/24/12 as of this writing) on my Nook Color. CM 10 itself works fine, but the most recent Google Apps package that I could find (10/11/12) won't install correctly. In clockwork recovery, I can install it and it says that it was installed fine, but when I actually boot into CM, there are no google apps.
I upgraded from CM 7 where there seemed to be a similar problem: You needed to install Google Apps with a specific version of CM and then upgrade to the newest version. Is something like that happening with CM 10? Is it something else? Is there a newer version of Google Apps that I missed?
All help is appreciated,
Sky

The version you have is right.
Sometimes the Google apps will not show unless you have logged into at least one of them. Look for talk or Gmail or play store or some other gapps and see if they show. If so, try to log in.

I have this same problem and I did a full wipe and cleared the Dalvic. I have been reading all day. I think the problem may be the recovery. I have TWRP 2.3.1.0. I read it is best to downgrade to TWRP 2.2 but I don't know how to remove 2.3.1.0 and downgrade to 2.2. OAN: Paranoid Android is quite a nice rom and I use goomanager to simplify my downloads. If someone can tell me how to replace twrp with the other I am willing to test my theory. Thanks in advance.

You can downgrade just by flashing the older version over the top of the newer one. If you can't find a 2.2 version to flash, you can get a 2.1 version here:

Great, care to walk me through flashing the twrp 2.1.1 or twrp 2.2 over the newest one. I tried through terminal emulator and apparently I don't know what I'm doing. I tried to use twrp 2.3.1.0 to flash the aforementioned versions but it was not having it. Please point me in the right direction...it's my mother's NC, personally I use the NT which is a bit different to work with. Thanks 1001x

Well, you need to flash it with a recovery. And you said you tried TWRP 2.3.1.0. That should have worked. What do you mean, it was not having it? If it was failing to flash, maybe that was the problem you were having with that version. If that version is not working, you have no choice but to boot to a bootable recovery SD. I have CWM on a bootable SD on my tips threads linked in my signature. Go to item A10. You can use that to flash a different TWRP to your internal memory.

Thanks a million. No, TWRP 2.3.1.0 would not flash the older recovery. I willfollow your advice.
