Touchpad Cyanogenmod sleep of death: what worked for me

Things got a bit ridiculous with my HP Touchpad: it would fall asleep and not wake up after as few as 10 minutes, even after the Alpha 2 update, requiring a hard restart every time. What resolved it for me:

1. Backup all apps with Titanium Backup, without backing up system data. Copy the backup over somewhere just in case.
2. Uninstall Cyanogenmod using ACMEUninstaller (see the official Alpha 2 thread for a download link and the instructions). This will wipe out CM7 but shouldn’t touch any of the app data, including the backup.
3. Re-install moboot and CM7 using ACMEInstaller.
4. Reload all the apps back on using Titanium Backup.

So far I haven’t had sleep of death even after 8+ hours of the Touchpad sitting idle without being plugged in.
