I print from my iPad, turn on & off lights, tvs ect. Also use it as a remote for my directv, and apple tv (airplay).

most importantly for me I can run my business. Those other laggy center blocks don't come close.

preware is a app catalog that give you access to other programs not included in the standard hp appalog .. ubuntu is this other customizing thing that im just starting to use for the first time so i would google it to learn more lol

it gives you access to a second apps catalog with a different selection then the standard hp one, it allows you to push the abilities of the device past the base model

I've done everything and then it says to open Govnah then change it to 1.5 or 1.7, but when I go to Govnah I see no option to do so

k you open it and tap profile, then a new screen should appear where you select "ondemandtcl 1512 " instead of the palm default

that's what I've been doing wrong and that just changed it to 1.5, so how do I change it to 1.7? I've downloaded F15C Eagle already

EDIT: F15C Eagle won't install for some reason

got it from here

EDIT: I figured out what I was doing wrong, I think. Thanks for your help bruh!

EDIT 2: my bad, but I do have one more issue. Every time I open pre-ware it gives me an error message, I press ok, then pre-ware opens. That confuses me, is it supposed to do that?

ive been using mine for the last couple hours on and off and its still at 80 ish percent ?? honestly it doesnt really effect battery life cause it only runs as fast as need be so when your not using it, its basically in a type of sleep mode

I do have a final question for you though... I think I read somewhere that you can change the boot screen themes or something. Do you know anything about that?

k ill start messing around with it to find that eagle program, i think u gotta type !! into the URL or something .. ya i read the about a wallpaper/theme modifier too but havent got around to that yet, im just getting a media stream setup from my pc now then ill go on to that stuff .. i would suggest your browse through the preware applications and you'll prob find something like that, or google search it ?

edit: as to your error messages in preware, it seems judging from that like to WEBOSbuzz that its a very common problem .. i wanna change it to the 1.7ghz but im hesitant since theres alot of ppl with issues and mines working great at 1.5 ghz [pic]

I just need to find out how to install
