So I followed your guide but I did not setup autologin so without the on screen keyboard I cannot log in. I was not thinking before I rebooted. Anyway, what would be the best method to reinstall Arch on the touchpad? Should I just follow the installation again or is there a way to chroot in to change the settings?

NM I am fixing via Novaterm

I am connected to novaterm but only see the Touchpad files and not the android ones. Can I mount the arch filesystem using Novacom?

I absolutely love this build already, and I'm not a developer ;)

Don't mind the lack of sound, because the touch useability makes up for it in comparison to chroot.

One question, any way for me to change timezone? I can only find US in the regional settings.

Still brilliant! Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks, I should read that Wikipedia page more... Probably would learn a lot from it :)

EDIT: Is there any way to turn down the brightness?

As root: echo [0-255] > /sys/class/leds/lcd_backlight/brightness

I managed to find an armv7 build of firefox, but it is quite buggy, google chrome works much better ;)

Command is as follows I think

pacman -S chromium-dev
