No, at this stage I'm happy leaving Android installed, there's a couple of apps I want to use that don't exist under WebOS.
At the very least, restoring the uboot files would at least give the "appearance" of a return-to-stock, but the loss of space wouldn't be ideal.
Booted back into WebOS to have a look.
It's released by the WebOS Internals team. Looks like the application just restores the /boot partition, you still need to use the "Tailor" app to restore the partitions, so your method may be simpler for many.
Strangely, I can't find any mention of the app in their forum over at PreCentral, and their Wiki appears to be offline. I'm guessing it's just a script that removes the CM7, CWM and MoBoot binaries and restores the symlink(s).
Nice

No, no it won't do the trick. Idk why everyone says it will. Upon restoration from webOS Doc, moboot and android are both installed still.
You need to manually delete the partitions and then correct the partition table on your device. Which is why I asked for an ACMEUninstaller to be created.

I am trying to find a way to block permissions to certain apps after installation. I came across this app called PDroid but requires a patched ROM using a linux script. App can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357056.

Thanks I will try it out this week.
UPDATE: Bad news bears. I flashed the patch as described (mounted system, wiped cache) but the system went into a boot loop. The boot animation kept cycling over and over again.
Did the restore zip work at least? That's the first I've heard of a bout loop caused by it.
It only edits 3 files, none of which could possibly cause more than a boot loop in any case.
EDIT: May have been a corrupted download, I'll be sure to post MD5, hashes next time. Sorry about that!

I don't think it was a corrupt download. I just created a patch myself using the Windows program and it also produced a boot loop. I restored from a nandroid the first time, trying out the restore file right now.
Alright sounds good. That's still really is though, and I have no idea why it happens. Did you flash any addons on top of the stock ROM?

Nope. Just the patch. Although the second time I didn't mount the system. Is this a necessary step? I didn't see anything in the OP of the PDroid thread.
Possible reasons for failure:
* Corrupt download first time
* Second time, didn't mount system
What is this "If you "integrated sys Dalvik into ROM" with Titanium Backup, you will have to undo it"? I am using TB but I'm not sure if this applies to my situation.
I noticed the ROM must be deodexed and I didn't see any odex filetypes in the system/framework directory. That should be the only place they appear right?
On a better note, the restore file works =) Thanks for the help
Yes, you should mount /system in CWM, as I didn't manually edit the patch to add in auto-mounting.
I just tried on Unnamed 2.2.1 and experienced the boot loop as well (created the patch using the Windows patcher). Restore zip works fine, and tried with and without mounting /system in CWM. There apparently is something in Unnamed that the code doesn't like
Too bad, sounds like a good program (I also use LBE and wanted to use it along side).

It's a great app. I am running it on a Hellraised ROM. None of the AT&T base ones work. I sent the dev an error log from UnNamed 1.3.1 and he knows what the problem is and will try to address it in a future patcher release. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22111242&postcount=757)
Check back on that thread whenever he updates it. It's worth it!

Thanks! I guess I didn't go far enough back in the dev's thread (DUH!) so hopefully he's got the info he needs to fix it. I'd really like to try it sometime.
The developer of PDroid has released an update to his patcher that fixes the bootloop issue for AT&T roms. I just installed using UnNamed v1.32 and it works great.
Feels good to block all of those permissions.
I have ordered a 32GB touchpad and just have a few questions.
1. How does the space allocation work when dual booting? Is that something we have any control of? I ask because i will probably be using android primarily, and would like to have as much space as possible on it.
2. WIth the dual booting... is there a way to automatically default it to loading up CM9, instead of having to choose at initial boot up?
3. Is there a way to remove WebOS completely and just have it be CM9?
4. If the above question is yes... or the device gets bricked... can you revert back to stock WebOS ?
Thanks in advance.. and cant wait to get my touchpad tomorrow!
Thanks for asking these questions. I'm getting one the day after tomorrow and had the same ones

WebOS upgrade takes extra space. I think media is shared. 32 is plenty. Get a Box.net account to upload your files.
You can change boot preferences.
No you will not remove webos.

does anyone have any links to how i can revert completely back to stock if needed... after android?

The wiki provides an uninstall method which works pretty much identically to how you install android. Essentially you run the UNinstaller instead of the INstaller, pretty simple. Had flash a friends TP after doing a couple others recently where I had to revert and start the process over. It's easy as pie.

ok sounds good. does this also remove the android files? or do they have to be manually removed.
That's a good question, not entirely sure. My assumption would be the android files are stripped outside of the one folder you create when putting it on which is a "CMInstall" folder. Even if it doesn't remove them, it shouldn't impact WebOS from functioning as far as I can tell. Besides, once you put Android on it, it is highly unlikely you would ever remove it, you'd have no reason to.
There's a great guide on how to completely remove the Android partitions and restore your TP to complete stock here in THIS THREAD. It walks you through repartitioning the entire device and reinstalling WebOS 3.0.0.
What the ACMEInstaller does is repartition the /media drive (the so-called SD Card), to be smaller by roughly 2 gigs - enough for a /cm-data, /cm-system and /cm-cache partitions that're used by Android. And if you need more space, move your apps to the "SD Card" (/media partition) and you have even more space.
Hope that helps. If you need more, feel free to PM me.
I have a question about Moboot. How do you change the boot options? I had installed a version of AOKP and a version of CM on top of eachother (wiping and then installing) and the old ROM I was running is still there. Is there a way to delete some of the moboot options?

Thanks for the awesome, helpful response.
I did do a couple of quick searches on XDA and through Google but couldn't find what I needed. I figured somebody here knew off the top of their head what to do.
If you have Root Explorer, or some other root-level explorer, load it up and browse to /boot. Mount it as read-write, and find the file uImage.<whatever you wanna delete> and delete it. Don't delete any other files. You wanna keep the following:
uImage.Clockworkmod (that's CWM / TWRM Recovery)
uImage.webOS
uImage.CyanogenMod (that's the CM install)
If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a PM. Unlike the useless known as cdzo up there, I actually do like to help people.
Classic nerd has a flashable zip called moboot cleaner here's a link: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/26003-cm9-to-classicnerd-discussion/
If there is a problem posting a link to another forum I will remove it. Also if you want to change the main OS at start up or increase time download cyboot on webOS.

Hi guys/gals. I have just rooted/unlocked my Atrix, and am flashing new ROMS. One thing I have run into though is the fact that these new ROMS don't come pre-installed with all of the apps that I want. So, I was thinking I could create an update package that will push all of "my" apps that I use on a regular to the ROM I just flashed instead of installing one by one via play store. I followed the advice posted by a Senior Member here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732957 but this isn't working for me. When I attempt to use CWM to install this update.zip file, all I get is updated failed. I do not see the reason for the failure, just that it failed. Can a more experienced user here, assist with what I am doing incorrectly please and thank you.
Check the recovery log. Every recovery has one.

OK, I see your problem. You're using a way outdated procedure for creating flashable ZIPs. That is a procedure for creating Amend-based ZIPs which have long been abandoned, only Edify-based ZIPs are supported now. I think your best bed would be to get some ready-made flashable ZIP (of some ROM for example) and modify it according to your preferences.
What about using one of the app backup apps? like what i do is i started on gb, used go backup pro, backed up the apps and data for the apps. then i switched roms, reinstalled go backup pro, and restored the apps and data

I attempted this procedure with zip me, but when I went to actually install the zip created with this app, It said install failed. I know Titanium Backup Pro (paid edition) offers this solution, but I do not have a full paid version. I *thought* it would be simple enough to just create my own install script as I have the .apk files needed, just can't get the script set-up properly.
