Tweaks via Preware

As someone who is a huge fan of OTA (over the air) updates, there now is a new OTA way to apply tweaks. No longer will you have to root your Pre or hard wire it to a PC and use WebOS Quick Install.

If you aren't aware of Preware, you should be. Preware is an OTA homebrew installer. Allowing you to install homebrew programs, themes, the virtual keyboard and now tweaks. Instructions on how to install Preware are located here: http://forums.precentral.net/homebre...0-preware.html

As far as the new tweak installer, the following steps will get you rolling:

1) Load Preware (after installing it if you don't have it installed)
2) Select "List of Everything"
3) Look for "autopatch-feed"
4) Install the "autopatch-feed"
5) Update your feeds (or close and restart Preware)
6) The "Available Patches" will now be a number over 50.
7) Enjoy all the tweaks via OTA.

Note: Some patches require a manual restart before they will function.
Note: Not all patches work with WebOS 1.2, many still work, others are already updated. Don't stress about this, if you want to try a tweak, just do it. If it isn't compatible the install will fail.

One of my favorite new tweaks is the LED notifications. If you don't know what I'm talking about check out this youtube vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWoR9H46MNQ
