I put some pdfs and an m4v and flv video on the device, organized in folders. I go in acrobat reader and it seems to find the pdfs, but just puts them in a single list, rather than showing the file hierarchy.

I would like to be able to browse the file hierarchy and touch a file and have it open. I have a lot of pdfs to put in the device and they need to be organized, not one big list.

Also would like to search for text in PDFs.

Ideally I am looking for something similar to ipad's Goodreader wher you can organize a hieararchy of mixed file types, PDF and video, and view any of them.

Acrobat reader and Quick Office seem to be a little slow to load. I am wondering if there is an app for this that is quick loading.
[TouchPad General] tk_xda:

[TouchPad General] bldrer:
Agree that Acrobat reader is one of the worst PDF readers all across the pad platforms. But unfortunately it seems that's the only choice on webos. Hope this wave of TP can bring some new PDF reader to it.

[Q] How to search through a PDF?

please excuse the question but I tried google a few times and couldn't get anything. Can the default adobe PDF viewer even search documents? If it can how the hell can I find the option? Is there anything 3rd party that allows searching through pdfs?

[Q] PDF Reading and Citrix?

To current owners, how is reading pdfs on the TP? Is it snappy like Ipad 2 and how about large pdfs like 100mb or greater? I dont really care about annotations.

Also does Citrix work? I saw an ad showing Citrix working. Thx
[TouchPad General] ttf:
For the pdf file it's very fast and snappy,very usable, but only tested with a couple of 50Mo one, if you have bigger to test give me a link.

[TouchPad General] gordec:
Ok, I couldn't resist the temptation and got a Touchpad to play with. The two hospital pages where I use Citrix to access medical records don't work. The demo on Youtube looks so smooth :). Adobe Acrobat on the WebOS is just as horrid as on the Android platform. There is no way, I can sit there read the PDFs in this condition. The letters all look fuzzy, and I don't think this is purely an issue with resolution and display. The software doesn't fully render it.

The good part is that flash works really well from the browser. Very well done. Also the cards arrangement of the overall OS is the best I have seen out of all 3 tablet platforms. It's unfortunate. I think it just take a little more work from HP to make it competitive.

1. A better screen. It's listed as IPS display but no where close to the Ipad.

2. Work out the small bugs in the WebOS
[TouchPad General] lllGurulll:
This pad desperately needs Alkido.
[TouchPad General] darkamulet:
Not to the best of my knowledge, I've looked through every option and nothing. I also asked this same question about searching PDFs and never got a response. FYI I have a few 40mb+ pdfs w/ schematic drawings and it has the tendency of chugging along or even worse it loses the menu bar uptop where I can select pages from. I'll get stuck on page 230 out of 500 and will have to close the card down and open it up again to get the number list.

Extra info

Enabling Developer Mode (Rooting)

In general, simply installing the Palm SDK gives you everything you need for full access to the Linux operating system on any webOS device. There is no special "rooting" or "jailbreaking" process. Simply installing the SDK provides you with unlimited access to the Linux operating system.

Download & install the Palm SDK for Linux, OS X or Windows.

Enable developer mode on the HP Touchpad:

Launch Device Info and tap its top-left menu.

Select "Custom Application..." and type in: ##3386633#

In the application, move the Developer Mode slider to the On position.

Tap Reset the Device.

When reset is complete, Developer mode is enabled.

Plug the device into the computer via the USB cable, and just close out the USB storage mode thing.

The next step varies:

Mac OS X / Linux: Type novaterm into terminal to directly access the Linux command line for the HP Touchpad.

Windows: you will need to download and install a novaterm program.

On Windows 32-bit, download novacom-win-32.tgz and install novacom with NovacomInstaller_x86.msi.

On Windows 64-bit, download novacom-win-64.tgz and install novacom with NovacomInstaller_x64.msi.

Then, just like the Mac and Linux users you can just type novaterm.

At this point you will have a window with a prompt that says root@webos-device: or something similar.

You are now logged in as root on your webOS device and can do anything you would normally do on a Linux device.

DISCLAIMER: We cannot be held liable for any loss of data, damage, bricking, or other malfunctions of the device. We solely provide the information needed to achieve root access.

your question is clearly answered in the the 1st sticky in the dev section. Imo any gingerbread based rom right now has bugs...so i wouldnt classify them as a good daily rom. Not much can be done until the actual gb source code is released.

What items are not working? And regarding the sticky all I could find was info on going from MTD to ext4. Not going from a voodoo TW rom to an MTD rom.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhioYJ:
I used MIUI on both my phone, and my wifes phone for quite a while. No problems out of it. The most stable version is still the 7-22 version.

Going back from the MTD rom really just means you need the PIT file when you odin another ROM, no big deal at all.

I prefer the MIUI launcher, but I am trying out JTs VGB 8-16, so far no problems, and seems a bit faster than MIUI.

Big Fan of MIUI, it seems to only work on older MicroSD cards, my MicroSDHC was not read by MIUI. If you can deal with low storage options, you can go with it. When I ran it, it never read my 32GB SDHC card, causing me to go back to TW until this is fixed, hopefully soon.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwshadow:
from what ive I've read it is mostly the Tw leak based roms that have the SD card issue. This one is aosp based. I actually flashed it a couple hours ago and I have to tell you I'm glad I took the risk! This is not just a rom. Everything is redone. They everything works is different. I see no traces of original android anywhere. All of the menus, apps, notifications are beautiful! Everything in this rom uses hardware acceleration so it is as smooth as the iphone!

[Wildfire Themes and Apps] ErwinP:
Hello yo'all

I've searched many times to make my notification pull-down menu transparent, and I've finally managed to get it work. I know that there are lots of themes that do so, but I've choosen to modify the files myself. And I know that there are already tutorials, but I couldn't find one that works with CyanogenMod 7. So here is how I did it (and TBH, it is bloody easy).

screen cap: first image is without the notification drawer, the second is the notification drawer halfway the screen and the third one is the notification drawer totally expanded.

Note that I assume you already know the basics on how to work with adb.

Two things most be done to get the background of the notification menu transparent:

1. You must make the background file transparent

2. If necessarily, you must adapt StatusBarService.smali

PART 1: MAKE THE RIGHT FILE TRANSPARENT

Step 1: get SystemUI.apk on your computer

Step 2: modify/replace shade_bg.png

Open SystemUI.apk in winzip, winrar or 7zip or wathever. WARNING: DO NOT EXTRACT THE APK!

browse to res\drawable-mdpi and look for "shade-bg.png". Copy it manualy out of the apk.

Edit the image with photoshop or gimp or wathever to make it transparent. Save you transparent file as shade-bg.png

Take your new image and put in manualy in the res\drawable-mdpi of the apk, so that it will replace the old one. When asked, choose for "no compression" (like store).

Step 3: put SystemUI.apk back on your phone

Reboot into recovery

go to "mounts an storages"

select "mount /system"

you can now push your new SystemUI.apk to your phone. I always make a backup, for in case I cause a bootloop or something:

Your phone should reboot now, and normally you should have your transparent lockscreen. If that isn't the case, you have to adjust StatusBarService.smali

PART TWO: ADJUSTING StatusBarService.smali

Step 1: get SystemUI.apk and framework-res.apk on your computer

So now framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk (with the transparent image) are in the same directory.

Step 2: decompile systemUI.apk

Download apktool from the attachment and extract it in the same folder as where framework-res and SystemUI are located.

open the command line and browse to that same directory

install your framework by typing:

Decompile SystemUI.apk by typing:

You will notice that you now have a folder called "SystemUI".

browse to SystemUI/smali/com/android/systemui/statusbar and open StatusBarService.smali in, for example, notepad++.

Search for the line

Right above that line you can read

That should be changed to

Save the file.

go back to the folder where you have apktool etc. Rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI-original.apk.

Open the command line and type

You will now have your SystemUI.apk

Step 3: put SystemUI.apk back on your phone

Reboot into recovery

go to "mounts an storages"

select "mount /system"

you can now push your new SystemUI.apk to your phone. I always make a backup, for in case I cause a bootloop or something:

That's all. Hope I can make someone happy with this :)

Cool ;) Good job
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] tobitronics:
What is the transparent part? Dont see anything in the screenshot :$ Maybe im blind?

Ran into this issue over the weekend. App worked fine on CM7, then I switched to MIUI yesterday and couldn't install it.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] collinray:
I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the Phone Identity -> Model Number information. Currently the ROM states that the phone is still a HTC Sensation Z710e and I wanted to change it to HTC Incredible 2. I was looking through the build.prop for this, but noticed that everything is already set for the INC2 (vivow, ADR6350, etc). Anyone know what string this area is set to read from? Think it will cause any issues changing the name? I figured it wouldn't since it would just be a text string it is reading.

Also, if I use the DLNA functionality in the HTC Music player it states the name of the phone is "Sensation", wasn't sure if this text string was located in the HTC Music player apk or if it is being referenced else where.

Thanks for any help.

As tbaker wrote you -

different architecture -

Mac OS & Windows uses x86/x86-64.

Android & iOS uses ARM.

Windows 8 will be also compiled against ARM.

TouchPad is Snapdragon ARM based.

Another thing to keep in mind is how much source is available.

Android is Open-Source from ground so usually once drivers are being written you can get it up & running to some extent.

Not the same with other platforms (Eg. W7 & iOS on Android devices)
