Seasons Greetings once again!
Being the busiest time of the year, I won’t take up too much of your time. Just a quick note to let everyone know our business hours over the Christmas period.

Please note we will be closed on both weekends and all public holidays.

Thursday 22nd – Trading as Normal

Friday 23rd- Trading as Normal – Last dispatches. Also Christmas Lunch will be happening so please forgive us if we are a little slow in response from 12pm onwards.

Wednesday 28th – Closed. Alex should by now have established a new, stronger bond with a local echidna he almost ran over while testing out his new DRZ tyre

Thursday 29th – Closed. Braden will no doubt have completed his backyard Battlefield 3 setup and will be eagerly awaiting his body armour kit from the US.

Friday 30th – Closed. Paul will surely be further progressing his fishing career. After becoming bored of fishing with rods and dry ice, dynamite will certainly be the next option.

Tuesday 3rd – Trading as Normal. From this day on.

From all of us here at Warcom, we wish all of you a sensational Christmas and tantalising New Year. We appreciate your ongoing support.

All the best.

-The Warcom crew.

Installing Android CyanogenMod 7.1 Android Alpha 3 on the HP TouchPad!

Did you mange to score yourself one of the few HP TouchPads which Harvery Norman decided to clear out earlier this year?

If you did you’ve probably found out by now that, for a well polished piece of technology, the HP TouchPad and it’s WebOS software is fairly useless for anything other than browsing the web.

That is… until now!

After several months of hard work from these developers, the HP TouchPad can now install/port Android CyanogenMod onto it, through the Android CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha 3!

If this is the one you’ve been waiting for, simply following the steps outlined below and get your HP Android Tablet up and running with Android CyanogenMod in no time!

Source: http://liliputing.com/2011/11/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-7-1-android-alpha-3-on-the-hp-touchpad.html

1. Download update-cm-7.1.0-tenderloin-a3-fullofbugs-signed.zip from the RootzWiki forum. You can either download it directly on your tablet or on your computer and then copy it to your tablet.
2. Make sure the ZIP file is located on your SD card.
3. While running Android on your TouchPad, press and hold the power button and then select the “reboot” option.
4. Tap the option to “Reboot to Recovery.”
5. Your tablet should reboot to ClockworkMod Recovery.
6. Use the volume buttons to navigate to the option that says “install zip from sdcard.”
7. Press the home button to select.
8. Use the home button to select “choose zip from sdcard.”
9. Use the volume keys to navigate to the file you want. If it’s in the root directory of your SD card, just scroll down until you find it and then press the home button. If not, navigate to the folder you want, press home to enter the folder, and then press home to select the update-cm-7.1.0-tenderloin-a3-fullofbugs-signed.zip file.
10. Once you’ve selected the ZIP file, scroll down with the volume buttons until you get to “Yes.”
11. Press the home button to apply the update.
12. After Alpha 3 is finished installing, you can use the volume buttons to scroll down to “Go Back” and keep pressing it until you see the option to “reboot system now” and press the home button to reboot.

You should also be able to set the HP TouchPad up as a dual boot tablet, allowing you to select the Android or WebOS features at start-up.

Expect some changes and improvements over the coming months but as of right now, us lucky few have scored an Android touchpad for only $99.

Stay tuned for a video of the install, which we will be doing shortly.

Enjoy!
Adam.
