Is there a way to get mbp style scrolling on the new dv6/dv7 notebooks?

This may have been mentioned in other threads, but I am most interested in this newer generation of synaptics trackpads on the hp, the synaptics touchpad 7.5.


As far as I can tell, the pad is pretty accurate, but it still feels too jerky for my tastes. I set the "wheel" option from 3 to 1, the lowest option, and that did smooth things out considerably, but it still feels more "stepped" instead of a sort of continuous scrolling feel the mbps have.


This looks to be primarily software, as such, there should be a software tweak. It also seems there is a more rough around the edges inertial scrolling effect with the coasting which is nice. The effect differs in that it is jerkier (though fixing the above would probably solve that), and the motion stops more abruptly as opposed to a smoother deceleration.

Again, is there any known software tweak to get these pads to mimic the functionality of the mbp pads? It seems the hardware is close enough to do the job, it's that the software is not configured to match it, for whatever reason... (software patents ?)

 

I'd love to know the answer to this...Apple is like a metrosexual, you want to hate, but you love the style.

 

Look for Reil's touchpad app in the top of this thread:

I don't use my touchpad often and I can't really compare it to a MBP, but DAAAAAYMMM does this make scrolling less buggy for me.

 

Reil's touchpad is wonderful... actually made 2 finger scrolling usable on this computer

 

Does Reil's touchpad software really work on non-Envy style touchpads?

I have it on my Envy 14. Almost exactly like the MBP. Butter smooth scrolling with inertia. The MBP is still more sensitive and accurate though.

 

it works perfectly on all the envy/pavilions at least. i've been using it since i got my envy 14, and now using it on the dv6. works absolutely amazing.

the scrolling is virtually the same as mbp scrolling. try this setting:

speed 100
acceleration 145
z threshold 100
delta ratio 50
easeinquad/duration 720

 

Tried it and it does work great. Question though, has anyone been getting strange behavior with pinch to zoom to zoom in and out of web pages? or does no one really use that?

 

ya for some reason, mine doesn't always work, it sometimes zooms in two "levels" or more too

edit: can someone give me a direct download to the site?
