Notes(Important):
1)Note: If you are unable to find the Play Store after you install CyanogenMod, then you will need to reflash your gapps package. Click Here for the how to video!
2)Note: Once running CyanogenMod for the first time, you may need to enable MTP(Media Transfer Protocol) This will enable the TouchPad to transfer files and charge using the USB cable. To Enable MTP mode, Go to settings/storage, look for the three dots in the upper right hand corner of the screen, tap computer connection, and make sure there is a check next to MTP.

CyanogenMod package contents explained:
There are currently three versions of CyanogenMod provided here to install. I would highly recommend installing CyanogenMod 9 (CM9) for first time users. CM9 has reached a good level of maturity and stability. CyanogenMod 10 (CM10) is currently a very functional unofficial Preview build but still has a couple bugs. CyanogenMod7 (CM7) also works well but is a little dated and not well supported like CM9/CM10 are.
-You will need 4 files to install CyanogenMod. The first two files can vary depending on the version you choose to install. CyanogenMod 9 is used here for Example:
1)update-cm-9-20120707-NIGHTLY-tenderloin-signed.zip (Installs your Android Operating System)
2)update- gapps-ics-20120429-signed (Installs your Gapps Package, Play Store & Applications)
3)moboot_0.3.5 (Installs your Boot Menu options)
4)update-CWM6_tenderloin-20121215 (Installs ClockWorkMod6 recovery)
