Manual installation
- Download the ScummVM package manually.
- Unpack the downloaded ZIP file. Inside you will find an IPK file.

- Flick three fingers right to toggle Auto-Drag Mode.
- When this is on, put a finger on screen and hold still for half a second to start dragging.
- Whether it's on or off, you can always double-tap and hold to start dragging, just like you would on a computer trackpad.
- Flick three fingers down to pause and unpause (forgive the spacebar message)

Trackpad Mode is what older ScummVM WebOS ports used. This is now OFF by default. When on, you move the finger on the screen, and the mouse pointer moves relative to it -- just like using a laptop trackpad.
When Trackpad Mode is OFF (default) the pointer will move to exactly where you tap, so tapping on an object clicks that object. If you put your finger on the screen and slide it around, you can hover over objects on the screen (useful to see what they are) without risking clicking on them.
Auto-Drag Mode is useful for games like Curse of Monkey Island and Full Throttle that require you to hold down the mouse button to access the possible actions. You can still put your finger on screen and immediately slide it around to hover over things without clicking.
