No comments are offensive, but constructive!

I am a regular user, not a developer. I had to learned as I go by using the Tablet, to do:

Recompile the Kernel:

Make any Android ROM system read and write / unpack and Repack the Ramdisk:

Set the Maximum CPU speed to any Android ROM in the Ramdisk with no need of extra Apps.

How to pack and unpack the ToolBox, you could modified it and make it a lot easier when installing from fresh install.

How to create a Swap Partition:

And finally apply all the knowledge to get the most of the Tablet.

I posted videos on Youtube as proof, there is no question as to (( Does it works?))

Click the link and see the video with your own eyes, streaming HD video 720 and also at same time recording at 30 frames per second ( doing almost twice the work )

As I have learned how to do that, I have posted all the steps on how to get it done in details by anyone.

I believe that by sharing knowledge, that is true and valid is the only way to really help and make things better.

Knowledge is Power. Everyone knows that learning is not easy and doing anything the correct way takes time, but there is no easy way around it.

My first PC , Tandy 1000

Back in those days we had to wait and wait and always tweaking things around to get a bit of performance increase ( do more with less ).

The swap file has always been there, even until today. All OS will create one by default regardless how much RAM is available. Linux goes one more steps into creating a dedicated swap partition for best performance.

Android is Linux and will perform the same way if the desktop settings are apply.

If you followed everything that I have posted, you will have the fasted and stable HP Touchpad without the use of any Apps or tweaks inside Android, you have full native control. It will be optimized as if you got it directly from factory.

The reason that I posted the boot uImage is to make it easier, I am aware is a lot to do.

But there is no way around it, the user needs to create the swap partition.

I feel that answering your question could be offensive to the amount of knowledge you have with computers.

You know how to compile the Kernel, I referred to you as the "Linux Guru".

So for me to explain something that you know better than me feels awkward, but I will try my best.

I made it clear that the kernel that I have used is the SKZ kernel ( yours ). You can see that in the youtube video, about tablet, it shows. I have not created my own Kernel or rebranded your work, the only thing done was to removed some modules, but it is your Kernel and the same size 6.1 MB.

You know how to recompile the Kernel and is impossible to combine the Kernel, Ramdisk with the ROM, which the ROM alone is about 300 MB and the file to download is 6.1 MB, same as yours.

This is a copy of a post that I replied about the /boot partition:

The boot size is 32 MB. RAW

After a total data reset using the toolbox and copy TWRP file into boot, it will be occupy 12MB or be 38% used.

You will have 19 MB free.

If you only have TWRP then you have 20 MB free and each boot image is max 6 MB each.

You can have three boot images to boot from.

That is why you can use WebOS, Android and another OS, like Sailfish, LuneOS or Linux.

In total you can boot three OS on the boot menu, but is very possible to have more OS install.

Using TWRP you can move boot images to the SDcard making more space in boot and copy another boot image there.

It is very flexible, there is no limitation and everything is possible!
