Palm Pre WebOS 1.4 update takes more apps away
The just-released 1.4 update for Palm WebOS appeared on my Pre a day or so after it was released in the states on Sprint. Pretty impressive. It was only 38mb so I downloaded it right away. The download and installation went without hiccups, but now none of my patches work and I cannot install or update any patch of homebrew app via Preware. The latter simply opens the Palm App Catalog which as my readers will know is not available on my Palm. I wonder if there is a way I can downgrade my Palm to an older version of WebOS. Think I will first try to uninstall and reinstall Preware. Will let you know.
do you recommend updating a new out the box qwertz with no apps to 1.4 ?
I would not update to 1.4. Unless you can access the app catalog out of the box. If you can I would be very interested to hear about it, because I couldn’t. If you can’t get apps via the catalog the next best thing is Preware which is a free app that gives access to OS patches and 3rd party apps (the free versions). You can read all about it on precentral.net. You will need WebOSQuickInstall on your computer in order to install Preware.
