Summary

Available in the WebOS Internals Testing Feed

Installation

The following guide assumes a Palm Pre or Palm Pre Plus that has the original 1.4.1.1 kernel. (Currently unavailable for Pixi/Pixi+ or other kernels.)

1. Open Preware and App Menu in the top left. (You do not have to wait for the feeds to load to complete this step.)
2. Select "Manage Feeds" and scroll to the bottom.
3. You'll need to add two feeds using the "New Feed" form.
   • webosinternals-testing-all : http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/all/
   • webosinternals-testing-pre : http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/armv7/
   1. Type the feed name in the NAME text box.
      • NOTICE: DO NOT PUT SPACES IN THE NAME. THEY RESULT IN THE FEED NOT LOADING. Instead use hyphens and make sure the name is NOT capitalized.
   2. Type or paste the URL in the URL text box
      • Make sure to delete 'http://' before pasting the URL if the URL already contains 'http://'
   3. Make sure the IS COMPRESSED option is set to YES (currently the toggle does not work, but will be fixed in future versions).
   4. Tap Add Feed and then tap Yes when the alert pops up.
4. Gesture swipe back, open the App Menu, and tap Update Feeds.
5. On Preware's homescreen, select "List of Everything" and start typing "uber-kernel" (Typing automatically starts a search that filters the list as you type.)
6. Select "Uber-Kernel (Palm Pre/Pre+)" and "Install"
7. After the installation, Preware will prompt to restart your phone. Always listen to Preware; it knows best!
