If you are like me and you where lucky enough to get an hp touchpad during all the madness you probably still felt disappointed  by the total lack of quality apps.  The Cyangenmod team has made it possible to have a very strong build of Ice Cream Sandwich with their latest release of Cyangenmod 9 alpha 2.  I updated mine today and have included this helpful video far any one else that is ready to get their app on!

      Yes you will need to.  Here is a guide I found on rootzwiki

      Procedure for a fresh install for your reference:

      0. backup all your user apps in titanium backup (if you want to)

      1. boot into CWM

      2. wipe data/factory reset

      3. wipe caches

      4. mount and storage –> format system

      5. advance –> wipe dalvik cache

      6. install the ROM

      7. reboot and see if the ROM is installed correctly

      8. reboot into CWM

      9. install gapps (http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps)

      10. reboot, setup your google account, enjoy
