### Stage 0: Backup your device

A guide by PreCentral on backing up your device can be found here. Also, make sure you run the Application "SaveRestore" from Preware to back up your application data. (Thanks to WebOS Internals for the amazing work on this app!) Then copy all the files from the USB drive onto your PC to keep them safe, including music, downloads, and pictures.

### Stage 1

About: Developer mode allows you to install different homebrew applications onto your device without the need for the App catalog.

Note: These functions are done on your webOS device.

Steps:

1. Save all open files and close all apps on your device. Then hit the "Just type" area on your TouchPad to show the virtual keyboard.
2. Start typing "webos20090606" (without quotes). A "Developer Mode" app icon will appear, tap on it.
3. Set Developer Mode to ON – It’s advisable to NOT set a password.
4. You may be asked to "Restart Your Device". This will reboot your device.
5. Plug your device into your computer with the USB Cable. Select "Close". Do NOT select USB Drive mode.

### Stage 2

About: WebOS Quick Install is a utility used to quickly install apps and other software on your TouchPad device.

Note: These functions are done on your home computer.

Steps:

1. Ensure your computer is up to date with the latest Java. On your PC, Mac, or Linux computer, go to http://bit.ly/phd-java-test to verify your Java version. Let it update Java as needed. Mac OSX users may need to run `/Application/Utilities/Java/Java` preferences and drag Java SE 6 to top of both lists, and exit.
2. Download WebOS Quick Install from the official forum thread: http://bit.ly/phd-wosqi4. When asked, click "Save". Save the file in a location that you can remember, such as My Documents or your Desktop and please consider donating to the developer!
3. When the download is complete click Open.
4. If you have not previously installed Novacom drivers on your computer, WebOS Quick Install will alert you that the Novacom Driver is missing and needs to be installed.
5. Select Yes to allow the Novacom Driver to be downloaded and installed.
6. If you forgot to enable developer mode, or do not have your HP TouchPad connected properly, you may see the following error messages. Enable developer mode and/or reconnect your device before relaunching webOS Quick Install.
7. If WebOS Quick Install is still unable to connect to your TouchPad, select the menu item "`File->Reinstall Novacom`". You may also need to download the latest Novacom drivers from: http://opensource.palm.com/packages.html If all attempts to connect to your TouchPad fail and you have double checked developer mode and physical connections (no USB hubs or extenders), please ask for assistance in the official forum thread: http://www.phxdevices.com/forums/ACL/installation
8. If all is well, WebOS Quick Install will automatically open to this screen once ready. Click on the Online Repository button (the blue globe button below the green plus and red minus buttons).
9. At this point, WebOS Quick Install will download all the available package information from a number of online repositories hosted by WebOS Internals, webOS Nation and some other sites. Please do not forget to donate to WebOS Internals, and to Jason Robitaille -aka Jay Canuck!
10. Type "ACL" in the search box and click the search button. The ACL Package description will be shown. Click the "Install" button. The installation can require up to 10 minutes. DON'T INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS, OR YOU MAY HAVE TO RESTORE THE HP TOUCHPAD IN ORDER TO GET ACL INSTALLED PROPERLY.
11. You can now close WebOS Quick Install as well as unplug your device from the computer.
12. Restart the HP TouchPad.
13. When TouchPad is rebooted, launch the app "ACL for webOS" to activate your ACL for webOS license!

14. Go to the OpenMobile AppMall and start downloading & installing apps!
15. Now is all set! So... Enjoy the ACL for webOS! Just open an Android app and play!
16. You can leave Developer Mode on if you intend to use WebOS Quick Install in the future, otherwise turn it off at this point. Follow the same in instructions in Stage 1, but set the switch to OFF.
