booting live-cd default boot parameters on HP DV-6753cl laptop

early this month ran for 1 week almost everything seemed to run fine

exception screen dim, sound almost non-existant even with externally
powered speakers camera sluggish

partly due to HWACCEL=0 as default

but youtube low res working

books and market working after updates

-

1 week later youtube fails, editing camera fails, books fail...
using same boot cd same machine same network only possible differences
are the updates from google play market/book/youtube/avg

It's almost like the analogy of the roadrunner and coyote
where android = roadrunner (owns acme)
acme = google
android-x86 = coyote who only shops at acme for roadrunner catching
gadgets
which tests ok but when used to catch the roadrunner always fail.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Corporation
clearly very frustrating

so roll your own..

i think you missed the point
google updates must have changed not the build
only using liveCD and ram used at this end no hardware/software or
boot option changes at this end
