HP Touchpad Setup/Tweaks/Aps Guide


So you just got your Touchpad after refreshing slickdeals for 20 hours until you finally were able to buy one and wait 3 weeks for it to come to you...

The first things you should do when you first start up your touchpad...

Visit this thread and do the shit in it :

New Touchpad? Here's your "Get Started" guide - PreCentral Forums


1. Upgrade WebOS to the most recent version. Click the arrow on your bar in the bottom right and go to "Settings -> System Updates"

2. Install Preware (which is sort of like Installous for iOS but without all the illegal apps). Guide to do this here :
How to Use Preware for Homebrew Apps, Patches, and Themes | The #1 HP webOS, TouchPad, Pre, and Veer Community | PreCentral.net

3. Overclock your touchpad if you like. Stock speed is 1.2ghz. You can overclock the touchpad to either 1.5 or 1.7ghz. This required preware and a couple other apps. Guide here :
How to: Overclock the HP TouchPad to 1.5GHz

4. Now you need to disable system logging and install some patches via preware. Guide here :
How to improve the performance of your new HP TouchPad | ZDNet


Your touchpad should now be running faster than a car with a stripped out interior


- The best website for finding cracked/illegal apps and games is :
Mobilism • View forum - WebOS

the cracked apps come in .ipk format and can be installed via the webOSquickinstall that you downloaded when you put preware onto your touchpad.

- There is a different browser that I like much more than the vanilla one. Download it here :
Download webosbuzz.com.maklesoft.browser_1.1.0_all.ipk for free on Filesonic.com

- You can install Ubuntu on your touchpad. There is a guide here but it's pretty time-consuming:
