GET:
hexeditor, HxD
Palm webos sdk
usb cable, hint: it came with the tablet.
DO:
MAKE SURE THE TOUCHPAD WEB BROWSER IS CLOSED.
Turn on developer mode, google for help.
install sdk, google for help.
Add novaterm to sdk.
Once you have a working Novaterm connection to the touchpad
cp /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/libflashplayer.so /media/internal/libflashplayer.so
mv /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/libflashplayer.so.bak
Ok, so now we have a backup of the plugin, and a copy we can mod. End the novaterm session and access the standard usb flash storage. google for help.
open libflashplayer.so in your hexeditor, search for "WEB 10" you will find it @ offset 67F184. Now just change the E to I and the B to N (WIN). Save the file.
Eject the flash drive via safely remove hardware. Restart novaterm connection.
cp /media/internal/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/libflashplayer.so
chmod 755 /usr/lib/BrowserServerPlugins/libflashplayer.so
That should do it. Start browser and check out great content like Lady Gaga in a bikini.
Perhaps a nice dev will write a little patcher that makes this easier.
