How to seriously improve your webOS legacy device [2.x+]
So we all know that although you can doctor your legacy device(Pre-, Pre+) to webOS 2.1/2.2.4, it does not run that great…at all. There may be a few exceptions based on deviations in devices handling of certain kernels(SR71 at 1.2GHz can only be run by a few phones).
With the release of a few select patches, your device can be turned around once again! I actually switched to an HTC Arrive last summer because my Pre-’s software became unbearable and I did not want to switch back to 1.4.5. The hardware was also on it’s last ends but that’s another story.
Point is, I turned on my Pre- recently, ran Emergency Patch Recovery(EPR), uninstalled Uberkernel and re-patched my system. Here’s the list of things that really turned my phone around.
- Buttah
- Disk Cache Mod
- Faster card animations HYPER
- Mojo Flick Regulator
- Mojo FPS Booster
- Mojo Speedy Switch
- Mojo Tap Responsiveness
- Muffle System Logging
- Quiet powerd messages
- Remove dropped packet logging
- Remove tap ripple
KERNEL: AV8B Harrier II
This isn’t a guaranteed system but I have noticed a huge difference. Keep an eye on your load averages by changing your voltages as I went over in this article: http://webosworld.com/2011/04/04/changing-kernel-voltages-tutorial/
