Does HP have any intention to fix bugs? It seems this bug has been there since the beginning of time

Hi there,

I found a good (but not easy way) to download all files I like. I installed a Ubuntu Chroot and I'am just using google chrome to solve this problem which works perfect. For every file I tried. Even rapidshare or mega download.
At all I use google chrome as my main browser right now on the touchpad. Faster, tapped browsing, better rendering engine....

Hope this helps...

Can you point me to a step by step guide to make this work? I looked up Ubuntu Chroot but I don't really understand what it does or how it relates to google chrome.

Here's the page that explains how it's done - How to Install Ubuntu on HP Touchpad | UbuntuChroot Tutorial Guide

I tried files from filesonic but no way to get it to download, even with the path

more ideas than Chrome?

and what apps would they be trying to sell?....

Hey, all - I want to try the patch out, but am unsure how. The link instructions say:

"You need to install both the ipk AND the patch, or it won't work.
You also MUST install "Homebrew JS Service Framework" from Preware."

How do I install the ipk and patch? Is this something I do on the TP, or do I need to put it in USB mode on my computer and do something? (the preware part I'm fine on.)

Thanks!

anyone?

Looks better in 3.0.4?

3FLi · 03/15/2012, 09:56 AM

besides dual booting with Ubuntu, is there a new way to download files more efficiently, thru a patch or new app? I would still like to download from rapidshare, mediafire or other direct download sites.
