 |Before updating to a new version of webOS, it is very important to follow certain procedures. Here is an outline of the recommended way to update your webOS when you use Patches (and/or Themes) installed via [[Application:Preware|Preware]]. Deviating from this procedure could cause unwanted results. If you have already updated webOS and did not remove your themes/patches, you will still need to follow these steps.
