webOSroundup.com Tutorial – Homebrew: Unlock Your TouchPad’s Hidden Potential
For more information and links please click the “More Info” button Through the sales of the TouchPad there are a lot of new webOS users being exposed to our wondrous platform. If you’ve been following the news, blogs and even this site you may have noticed there’s a lot of buzz regarding homebrew on the TouchPad. One of the marvelous things about webOS is that, unlike iOS and Android, adding custom software and tweaking the performance is incredibly easy. Unlike the aforementioned platforms there’s no need for complicated “rooting” or “Jailbreaking” of a webOS device to enable homebrew functionality. Between the wonderful folks at WebOS Internals and Jason Robitaille they have come up with a powerful 1-2 punch that makes it easier and more convenient to tweak the performance of your device than any other platform. I’m talking about webOS Quick Installer and Preware. We are going to walk you through unlocking the hidden potential of your TouchPad two ways: with step-by-step instructions and with a video tutorial. Let’s roll up our sleeves and get started Links: Main Article: WebOS Quick Installer Download: dl.dropbox.com
Pocketnow on Google Currents bit.ly EA Mobile Daily Deals bit.ly Watch this week’s iReview as we go through all that’s Cool and the Not So Cool inside the world of Apple’s iOS devices. In today’s show we begin by talking about the new deals offered by EA Mobile on their games. We later talk about the new progress in reaching an untethered jailbreak in iOS 5, aside from new developments on a carrier unlock for the iPhone 4S. We talk about Google Currents and how to get our Pocketnow current on your Android or iOS device. We later end the Cool section by going through the OnLive gaming service coming soon to the iPhone and iPad. In the Not So Cool section we talk about iOS 5.1 beta and how disappointing it is to see that it still can’t fix the battery issues on any of the tested units. All this and more after the break.
dose this still work
,
Thank You…awesome video!!!
does the software work on mac?
We are going to go ahead and go ahead and go ahead. Man what a verbal crutch you have.
Could you advise on what is needed to download documents from an email attachment to you touchpad so you can view/edit them?
dont know if this was mentioned before or not, but to reduce loggings, you do not need to pair it with a phone. You can use skype to dial that code. I know this because i did it on my friends touchpad to reduce his loggin and he didnt have a webos phone/
@sythe827 that’s exactly what I had done. I actually figured it out right before I reloaded this page
THX FOR THE VIDEO BRO WORKS GOOD
@Schecter609 same for me. have you got it to work yet? I had it installing for over 2 hours and no luck. Tried about 3 times.
how to uninstall overclocking on the hp touchpad? Do i just uninstall govnah and uberkernel then restart?
can’t seem to open the WebOS QuickInstall. Message states “Can’t open MIME..” any idea?
Do we have an alternative browser or tweaks with Tab like the PC Chrome browser?
Nice video, but one quick tip: instead of typing that freakishly long code (hey look, I know Konami!) just type this, much easier:
webos20090606.
Otherwise known as the date the first webOS device was released -the Palm Pre, launched on June 6th, 2009.
Yous can also use WebOs20090606 to get into developers mode.
can you run emulators on the touchpad
I downloaded the files attached, but I can’t get them to open on my PC, are they Mac only?
Thank you for this. Appreciated.
Thanks thanks thanks. Please if you have anymore tweaks please upload more video for us newbie on WebOS thanks
What does minimal loggin mean?
Please repsond
Does the damage the operating system? If you decide to go back to the orginal hardware, how do you go about doing that? Please respond
I just purchased my Touch pad. I’ve always been a fan of webos. I am sorry that they are no longer making the hardware.
Do you know if they are still supporting webos? Are they going to add more applications to the app catalog?
How can we watch netflix on the Touch pad?
what would happen if we download all the patches?
awesome review. anyway we can watch netflix, the only thing thats really holding the tablet back
Great video. Thanks!!!
nice video, thx

This guy speaks so quickly that its not even just difficult to understand, its also annoying.
hey, i would really appreciate it if any one could tell me if you can jailbreak an iphone 4s? thank you.
All I can say is that my iPhone 4 phone running ios 4 lasts FOREVER compared to my iphone 4s with IOS 5.0.1. Sounds like 5.1 isn’t any better. I can’t believe this, that was one of the things that was so awesome about the products….not only did they just work, they lasted a long time compared to the Android phones. Now we can’t say that….when is APPLE going to get this battery issue fixed.
pineapples? r/trees?

I hope to see an iOS 5 untethered jailbreak soon (yn)
Jaime let us know when does the jailbreak and unlock will come out for 5.0.1 and 4.11.08 Thank you for the info.
i was expecting this episode the whole past week!!
it seems to me that the iphone has not changed that much from 2007 well android and windows phone are
after i upgraded to ios 5.0.1 my battery life is better, before i’ve done the upgrade my battery was really shit for example my journey to college is 1:30 hours and if i listen to music my battery was going from 100% to 61-63% after i’ve done the upgrade is much more better same journey same songs and my battery went from 100% to 96% so that is really good .
Sorry for my english
I must be lucky my battery can get 2-3 days with my 4S.
@philipp030892 It does, but the experience is not the same as if you pulled the info from the official current of every website.
Pocketnow, are the battery issues still in the new iOS 5.1 beta 2?
Untethered? See; Apple wants to keep you on a leash.
@pocketnowvideo Yeah i noticed the sound issue
Does google currents sync with google reader?
