给我的Sony Ericsson Arc S换成AOKP ROM Build 4

之所以要换ROM，是因为Sony Ericsson的ROM有点站空间，很多自带的APP我用不着也不让卸载，而Arc S的内置空间才只有可怜的400MB左右。每天都看到好几个update error的信息，因为空间不够。

这里把安装过程简单记下来，因为我走了一些弯路，所以想给那些要跟我一样换ROM的朋友一些帮助。

第一步，下载需要的软件，我用到了Android SDK （因为有些用到的工具里面会依赖adb，而工具包里面的adb又太旧了，所以要下载最新的adb来替代工具包里面的adb），flashtool，DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su.zip（要用前面下载的SDK里面的adb和dll替换这个包里面的adb和dll，否则出出现“adb server is out of date, killing …”)，ROM和Google Apps，

第二步，解锁boot loader，具体步骤参考： http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions, 因为我不知道有这一步，所以浪费了很多时间摸索。

第三部，Root Device，做了第一步以后，这步就比较简单，参考 ：http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0 这个讲的一步一步，照着做就行了。如果需要安装driver，就运行C:\flashtool\drivers\Flashtool-drivers.exe来安装

第四部，备份，安装AOKP包，具体步骤参考：http://www.androidgadgematic.com/2012/09/install-android-41-jelly-bean-cm10-sony.html  这个里面讲的是安装CM10，不过同样适用于安装AOKP。

Install Android CM9 On HP TouchPad

I have bought HP Touchpad for more than 1 year, but I only use it in the first one month after bought it. Last week when I read the news about HP released Open WebOS 1.0, I suddently come out the idea to load my TouchPad with Android CM9 (since CM10 is not very usable at moment).

Reference Instruction Page: http://liliputing.com/2012/01/how-to-install-android-4-0-on-the-hp-touchpad-cyanogenmod-9-alpha.html

Steps:
1. Download all necessary files
* ACMEInstaller3 : http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/tools
* moboot_0.3.5.zip : http://code.google.com/p/moboot/downloads/list
* UniversalNovacomInstaller-1.3.jar : https://code.google.com/p/universal-novacom-installer/downloads/list
* gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip : http://goo.im/gapps/
* cm-9-20121007-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip : http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=tenderloin
* update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip : http://goo.im/devs/jcsullins/cmtouchpad/recovery

2. Install UniversalNovacomInstaller, it will be installed in to c:\Program Files\Palm, Inc

3. Place ACMEInstaller3 into same folder as UniversalNovacomInstaller, which is c:\Program Files\Palm, Inc

4. Connect TouchPad to PC, enable USB mass storage mode

5. Make new folder in root of Touchpad storage, folder name "cminstall"

6. Copy files into "cminstall"
* update-cm-9-20121007-NIGHTLY-tenderloin.zip (renamed, name must start with "update-")
* moboot_0.3.5.zip
* update-cwm_tenderloin-1012.zip
* gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

7. Reset Device (Setting -> Device Info -> Reset -> Restart)

8. As soon as the screen goes dark, press and hold the volume button, release the button when you see bit USB icon.

9. Wait for computer to install driver

10. Open cmd line, cd into c:\Program Files\Palm, Inc

11. Run ACMEInstaller3, “novacom.exe boot mem:// < ACMEInstaller3″

The whole installation process is very smooth. But I do encountered two problems for this Cm9 installation.

First issue is installation of google apps, ACMEInstaller3 didn't install gapps, so I must boot into ClockworkMod to instll zip from SD card.

Second issue is from Google Play Store, after I added Gmail account, gmail can sync, but when I run Play store, it always gave "Server Error" message. What I did is to run Google Talk and login, run Google Calendar and refesh to sync. After that, magically I was able to connect to play store.

Strange behavior.

Anyway, now I got a nice working (except camera) Android tablet to play with.
