The update weighs in at just 13 MB, but that 13 MB brings a slew of bug fixes as well as the fixing of much-maligned app limit. We&#8217;re downloading it now, we&#8217;ll let you know what we find in a bit.<\/p>\n<p>As a reminder to all patchers and themers: Be sure to remove all patches and themes before installing any webOS&nbsp;update. We don&#8217;t want you to end up with a wonky install. You do not have to uninstall Preware or any other homebrew apps &#8211; just the patches and and themes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE [8:38]: <\/strong>Palm&#8217;s servers seem to be being hit pretty hard, it&#8217;s going slow here. In the meantime, Palm has posted the for both the <a href=\"http:\/\/kb.palm.com\/wps\/portal\/kb\/na\/pre\/p100eww\/sprint\/solutions\/article\/50607_en.html#135\">Palm Pre<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/kb.palm.com\/wps\/portal\/kb\/na\/pixi\/pixi\/sprint\/solutions\/article\/72738_en.html#135\">Palm Pixi<\/a>, and we&#8217;ve got it for you after the break.<\/p>\n<p>Highlights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>App limit fixed.<\/li>\n<li>App Catalog downloads continue even after leaving the app&#8217;s page.<\/li>\n<li>App purchases have been expanded to US territories (sorry Europe, Canada, etc).<\/li>\n<li>Switching between days in Calendar is now faster.<\/li>\n<li>Sprint Navigation can be launched from a Contact.<\/li>\n<li>Palm Profile app restores happen in the background, letting the user get to the phone faster.<\/li>\n<li>Future webOS updates can be downloaded over 2G wireless (1xRTT).<\/li>\n<li>Notifications now work in landscape mode (which has strangely lost the rounded corners).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>UPDATE [9:06]: <\/strong>Cool, there&#8217;s now a progress meter on the install screen spinner doohicky. It&#8217;s slow going, but at least we can see that it&#8217;s going now.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the install has added one more step in the form of &#8216;unpacking.&#8217; Instead of downloading the entire OS over again, webOS updates now come in the form of binary deltas, which essentially boils down to downloading only the new code, which then must be &#8216;unpacked&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the code genies over at WebOS Internals have dug into the update package and found some interesting stuff, notably <span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"entry-content\">opengles.ipk and opengles-omap3.ipk, which are <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/webosinternals\/status\/7143151996\">part of the groundwork for enabling the GPU<\/a>. Good times, coming right up!<br \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"entry-content\"><strong>UPDATE [9:27]: <\/strong>Preware appears to be broken in webOS 1.3.5. It&#8217;s throwing up an &#8216;OnFeeds Error&#8217; and not even getting to load the feeds. Let&#8217;s hope this is a server-side fix.<\/span><\/span><strong><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"entry-content\">UPDATE [9<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"entry-content\"><strong>:45]: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/forums.precentral.net\/palm-pre\/221287-1-3-5-out-now-10.html#post2110778\">rem_kujawa notes<\/a>&nbsp;that you can use WebOS Quick Install (make sure you have version 2.96) to remove both Preware and its Package Manager, reinstall, and you should be good to go.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"status-body\"><span class=\"entry-content\"><strong>UPDATE [11:12]:<\/strong><\/span><\/span><strong> <\/strong>It seems that the app migration system Palm devised to move your stuff from the \/var partition to the USB drive partition only moves App Catalog apps. All homebrew stuff has been left behind in \/var. If you want to move homebrew apps to the new folder, you&#8217;re going to have to delete them and reinstall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE [11:23]: <\/strong>It also seems that the migration utility doesn&#8217;t transfer some app data. For example, user data from Paratrooper was left behind and the game launches as if never played before with no saved scores or progress.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.precentral.net\/webos-135-now-available-download\" >read more<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?a=1mPy03R54V8:SfoHzTum3mA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?a=1mPy03R54V8:SfoHzTum3mA:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?a=1mPy03R54V8:SfoHzTum3mA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?i=1mPy03R54V8:SfoHzTum3mA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?a=1mPy03R54V8:SfoHzTum3mA:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/Precentralnet?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/Precentralnet\/~4\/1mPy03R54V8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Palm Pre phones just lit up with the news: webOS 1.3.5 is now available for download.
