[Pre] Overclocked Kernel for webOS 1.4 Released

We recently reported that the developers unixpsycho and caj2008 released an overclocked kernel for webOS 1.3.5. allowing to run webOS between 720MHz and 800MHz. Now the testing phase is over and they released their patches for webOS 1.4. Check the vid to get an overview how amazing fast webOS is at those clockcycles.

Anyway there is warning: overclocking may result in cut down lifetime and reduced battery runtime. It may also void your warranty. Unixpsycho and caj2008 had a team of 40 betatesters.

PreCentral reports:

unixpsycho and caj2008 have determined that they believe this overclocking method doesn’t result in excess heat. Caj tells us that heat problems actually can happen at any CPU frequency and that one especially hot time is when a Pre downloads massive 3D games after a wipe.

[Pre] Palm Pre Overclocked to 800MHz

A team of developers consisting mainly of caj2008 and unixpsycho from PreCentral-Forums managed to overclock the Pre, now running 800MHz stable.

Currently this requires a custom modified kernel. caj2008 and unixpsycho released a kernel for webOS 1.3.5.1, a kernel for webOS 1.4 is still under development. Anyway you may check this vid: webOS unbelievable fast.

Kudos to caj2008 and unixpsycho.
