Any suggestions to make touchpad use easier?

Even easier.  Instead of reconnecting the USB cable, just hold down the ‘Vol -’ button while you power the device up.  Give it plenty of time; reinstalling the original firmware will take several minutes.  Then just boot it back up.

I didn’t see any side effects.  It’s about as harmless as a trial can be.  I’ve used commercial software that didn’t uninstall this cleanly.
