The Touchpad definitely feels much better after the tweaks and patches. The difference in speed makes it feel like a brand new machine

| Free Hp Touchpad Pc Quote: |
bought this tablet in richmond off a scalper for $250 and got it home and my husband was so dissappointed in it that he threw it accroos the room and put a small cack in the screen. it still works fine and i think you can hardly see the crack but its still slow and has the dreaded hp keyboard gimp actions and lockups so before we through it in the garbage i thought i might offer it here for free first maybe somone will want it for a kid to use as is or just for parts .any its here if anyone wants it for free.

Or did you buy online for order pickup?

Is it specifically one London Drugs that will have more stock or all of them? And you have to show up in person right? No holding or preorder over the phone/web.
TIA

TIA | Supposedly, our buyer at Staples is trying hard to get some for our chain. I talked to him the other day, he said Staples USA was able to secure a lot, but he wasn't sure at that point if Staples Canada would be able to get any.
I'm surprised at the size of rebate HP is giving the stores. My manager looked up our cost on it and, after HP's rebate, we're actually making a surprising amount of money on both capacities. I would imagine that, with the limited quantity and high demand, chains are going to need to sacrifice at least some of that margin to secure stock.

Found Uberkernel, but for some reason can't locate F15? | As always when installing unofficial software, you do so at your own risk. Nobody (including myself and the coders of the software) will be responsible if you muck something up during the process.
1. Install Preware - Application:Preware - WebOS Internals...
I recommend the WebOS quick install method
2. If you want to install F15C (improved kernel) or any of the not yet public release software, you need to add the testing feeds to Preware Testing Feeds - WebOS Internals
You'll need the "ALL" feed, the Touchpad (armv7) feed, and the Kernel feed (at the bottom of the page) for access to all of the testing feeds.
3. Install F15C or UberKernel (Warthog is also available but I haven't tried it) from the Kernel screen in Preware
F15C is the latest beta kernel and allows you to OC at 1.7GHZ
UberKernel is the latest stable/public kernel and allows you to OC at 1.5GHZ
The difference between the two is pretty significant (1.7GHZ is quite a speed jump)
4. Install Govna in Preware (for CPU control) I
It should already be set to 1.7GHZ if you use F15C (but go in and double check anyways). You'll have to select the 1.5GHZ profile manually if you're using UberKernel.
The default profiles are "on demand" profiles, and will only ramp up your CPU when needed. I don't recommend setting the CPU to always be at max otherwise it'll probably hurt your battery life.
5. Install performance enhancing patches (all in Preware) - I recommend the following:
- Muffle System Logging
- Remove Dropped Packet Logging
- Unset CFQ IO Scheduler
- Unthrottle Download Manager
- Quiet powerd Messages
- Faster Card Animations HYPER Version
- EOM Overlord Monitoring (in Applications not Patches)
The easiest way to find these is to use the search function in Preware (go in to the Patches screen, click on the magnifying glass and begin typing in the name).
Note: You should reset your Touchpad when prompted, but for the patch stage I would defer the resets until you've installed them all otherwise it's going to be a very lengthy process. Definitely restart after the Kernel installation.
Maybe try this....this is what I got from a video that skinnypupp posted
