Configuring the webOS Environment Using a Windows 7 Host System

Assumptions

You have:

• A PC running Windows 7
• Latest Java installed and running on your Windows 7
• An HP TouchPad (Tenderloin) that has been inspected, charged and updated according to previous steps.

Configure the webOS environment

Set the Kids on Computers logo wallpaper

• Connect the TouchPad to the PC with the provided USB cable
  • A USB notification window will pop on TouchPad display.
  • Select USB Drive mode.
  • The TouchPad will be assigned a device drive number by Windows Explorer.
  • Windows Explorer will create a window open to the TouchPad's root directory.

On the PC

• In the TouchPad window, in the root directory, open /wallpapers
• Delete the HP-provided wallpaper .jpg files
• Copy the 1024x1024 .jpg file with the Kids on Computers logo to this directory
• Open /.wallpapers
  • delete the files found there and under ./thumbs
  • Copy a 1024x1024 .png file with the Kids on Computers logo to this directory
  • Copy a 64x64 .png file with the Kids on Computers logo to the ./thumbs directory.

Eject the TouchPad from the PC and remove the USB cable.

NOTE:	Do not remove the cable without first ejecting the TouchPad.

On the TouchPad

• In SETTINGS, select Screen & Lock
• Select Change Wallpaper
• The TouchPad should offer only one wallpaper file option: the KoC Logo
• Select it and verify.
• Go to Turn off After and set it to 10 minutes.

• In SETTINGS, select 'Backup'
  • Select 'Back Up Now'
  • When the backup is finished, reboot
  • Verify after rebooting that the wallpaper is correct and the settings are as established above.

The process from first booting webOS to this point takes less than an hour.

The TouchPad is now ready for CyanogenMod 9 installation.
