UPDATE – 10/29/11:
HP TouchPad overclocked to 1.5 GHz
It looks like the wait to reach 1.5GHz is over thanks to the fine folks at WebOS Internals.
WebOS Internals has released a new kernel that will overclock the current HP TouchPad to 1.5GHz. To get it, go over to the Preware kernel testing feeds: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds. This kernel is now in the Stable feeds!
|
The TouchPad is stable at 1.5 GHz, which is to be expected as the same processor (with a different speed bin) is likely to be used in the AT&T “4G” TouchPad to be released later this year. Details here: http://thisismynext.com/2011/07/12/touchpad-4g-announced-att-faster-processor/
If your device has an unclean reboot for any reason, the UberKernel has a fail-safe mechanism which disables overclocking to allow you to select a lower frequency or make other changes to your Govnah profile: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Govnah
Instructions for how to overclock your device can be found in the Preware Homebrew Documentation application in the official webOS app catalog: https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=org.preware.docs
Note: The original kernel code was written by @unixpsycho.
UPDATE: The Uberkernel 1.5ghz version is now out in the Stable feeds
