Thanks for the replies!
I actually began to think the Pandigital end may be the problem when I went to 3rd pc(win7pro) and couldnt even get to the update link last night. I will try later today after work and see. I was going to stay Ebook software on this unit as it was for my wife bday. I have another coming that I will go open with jts to play with etc. Thanks again all. |

When all else fails I guess call the manufacturer. I called pandigital and they are having issues with the update server on that side. At least I know to try another day. For what it is worth Pandigital acually had a live person on the phone within a couple minutes to answer that for me. fastest customer service call I have had in ages, impressive!
again thanks for all the replies and help. |

I tweaked the first posting to cover some generalities. I will be loading this on my Novel as soon as I am back home.
Just following some user postings on other sites, it appears that the new firmware includes updated graphic drivers. Some users report the video, game, and user interface being a lot "snappier" without hacking in video updates manually. |

It'd be ok if it makes Repligo work a touch faster though. |

OK. I performed the update on my WPDN last night.
First, it does reset all user information, settings and apps. You will have to set back up your date/time, wireless access, and re-install all apps. It does run faster than the 1/14 firmware. I had applied a graphics hack and an update to the JIT on the 1/14 and, to me at least, the 1/27 seems to run at about the same speed without any hacks applied. This is based off of the responsiveness of a couple of ereader apps and, of course, Angry Birds. I will probably run a clean flash with no hacks for the weekend at least before I start looking into any "tweaks". |

Angry Bird would not run at all on my WPDN. Are you saying it does now?

Rock-- I think there's a PDN friendlier version floating out there. Spica version in top post.
http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=13728.0 There's already a rooted mod of the 1/27. Roebeet's. I'm running it with the JIT removed so Kindle will work. Seems nice so far. It's OP, so not for those looking to revert back to 2010 FWs-- but at this point I don't know what the point would be. Last edited by soondai; 02-03-2011 at 11:35 AM. |

There are two copies of AB floating around that run better. One is a stripped down version mentioned in a post above and the other is a version I found that just said "no ads". Either of these run with no real lag and only a problem with the in-game text either missing or showing as white blocks. |
