so a while back i installed the cm alpha but how do i upgrade the guide says to put
Acme Installer & instructions
Latest version of CM9
Clockwork Recovery
MoBoot

On my tablet but everything is already installed i just need to change my current cm to cm9 do i just flash cm9 and thats it or is their a complicated process?

on the rootzwiki forums it saysCAN I UPDATE *DIRECTLY* FROM CYANOGENMOD 7?

Yes. And you can try it even without a wipe of /data. The key is to use ACMEInstaller2 (see link below) rather than the ClockWorkMod Recovery to do the installation. If you use the ClockWorkMod Recovery, you’ll run into troubles, and though CyanogenMod 9 will install, you’ll need to reset(format) your data.

Our testing has shown that ACMEInstaller2 will resolve the issues. Your results may vary, but it may be worth using it to upgrade. Especially since newer versions of Titanium backup will crash on start up.

The process for using ACMEInstaller2 is exactly the same as when you first installed CyanogenMod 7.

It says to use ACMEInstaller2 in stead of clockwork because clockwork will cause problems but im very unsure on what im supposed to do please help
 
So I upgraded from CM 7 to CM9 and I had battery issues. So I just reinstalled yesterday after doing a full wipe and all my issues are gone and I have much better battery life. I saw a thread over at rootkit, but I can not find it now, but I pasted the instruction into notepad and saved it, so here it is, not my instructions but I can verify they work:

Do the following for a simpler and more reliable ICS CM9 Alpha install. The idea is to keep it simple:

1. Download
2. Backup
3. Clean up
4. Install
5. Restore (if you used Titanium Backup or other apps to save apps)
6. Be happy

There is no 100% guarantee, but from what I have seenI believe below is the approach that is most likely to be successful.

Download

Download the four files below to your TP.

- CM9 alpha .6: (Techerrata Downloads - Downloading update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha0.6-fullofbugs.zip or Goo-inside.me Downloads - Downloading update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha0.6-fullofbugs.zip)

- Patch for the power menu reboot issue with 0.6 where TP shuts down instead of rebooting. From Dalingrin and team: CyanogenMod Touchpad Master Page / #cyanogenmod-touchpad URLs of Interest

- Gapps 4.0.3 v11: http://goo.gl/u9s8g (People have also had success with teameos gapps: http://goo-inside.me...s/teameos/gapps)

- Gapps fixer: http ://goo.gl/UM5Ik (You should not need this, but should have it just in case.)

2. Backup

Backup installed apps or data (bookmarks, game status, etc.) in Android, using apps like Titanium Backup (TiBU) or MyBackup Pro/Root.

(Note: Previously, on ICS Alpha .5 only TiBU version 4.0.2 (http://www.wuala.com...kup 4.0.2.apk) worked unless you applied a patch, but as of Alpha .6 the current release version of TiBU works w/out issue.) So don't worry about that any more...

Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM).

Back up your current ROM in CWM (also known as a "nandroid" backup) using the Backup/Restore menu.

3. Clean up

Still in CWM:
- Wipe Data/Factory Reset
- Format System (under the Mounts and Storage submenu in CWM)
- Format Data (if you're superstitious...wipe data/factory reset already did this, but I know some people still want to later, rinse, repeat. ;-) )
- Format Cache (if you're superstitious...wipe data/factory reset already did this, but I know some people still want to later, rinse, repeat. ;-) )

While you're in the Mounts and Storage submenu note the Mount USB storage option - if you get into trouble after the install, you can boot into CWM and use the Mount USB Storage option to mount the internal storage to your PC via USB to manage the files on your TP SD card from your laptop.

4. Install

Still in CWM:

Flash the following files using the Install zip from SD card option.

- ROM: update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-alpha0.6-fullofbugs.zip

- Alpha .6 power menu patch: update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-a0.6-reboot_fix-signed.zip

- Gapps: gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11.zip or EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v10.4.zip, whichever version of Gapps you downloaded.

Do not flash Gapps Fixer yet...you should not need it with the recent Gapps versions.
Reboot...after rebooting and signing into your Gmail account, Market should auto-restore all your apps. If not install from market or from your backup.

5. Restore

If you used TiBU or other BU software, restore apps if they don't restore from the Market, or if you just want to restore them quickly. Generally, restoring data for apps may cause problems, but should be fine for games, apps that need log-in information, etc.
If you have problems with Market running or sync for email or calendar, you can try flashing the Gapps fixer zip file.

If you have ulmage issues (boot fails, messages about insufficient space or improper ulimage size, you may need to uninstall CM9 using the acmeuninstaller, and then reinstall CM9 using CWM. Check out this thread for more info/options:

http://rootzwiki.com...6-boot-failure/

The old truths are right - do a clean install on a ROM change or significant update. Using the acme option to try to keep data can be quite iffy...may work fine for some, but for most users it's not worth the potential hassle during and after install. If you do install from CWM, you must remove existing data first, per above steps.

to be clear
Alpha 0.6 Fix for Reboots: update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-Touchpad-a0.6-reboot_fix-signed.zip that is the link for
- Patch for the power menu reboot issue with 0.6 where TP shuts down instead of rebooting.
Click to expand...

Its before the patch, when I would power off my TP, it would just reboot, back to Mboot and I would have to choose "shutown" from there or it would boot back into CM9. With the patch, holding down the power button and choosing power off now does just that.
 
ok thats alittle confusing so whats the link to the patch that will make my TB shutdown?
EDIT: NVM i got it now haha i had the link right
