Video of HP webOS Touchpad Overclocked to 1.5Ghz - Performance

WorldWide Tech and Science. Francisco De Jesus.

WARNING This video was made before the webOS 3.0.2 update.

A few bloggers and friends asked if I can make a video about the HP Touchpad performance since I overclocked the device to 1.5Ghz. This is the wifi only base model. Also the 3.02 webOS update was installed recently.

The software and procedure needed is as follows:


 1. Install version of Latest Java,
 2. webOS SDK, 
3. Sun Virtual Box. 
4. Preware. 
5. WebJar application


 From your TouchPad unconnected install Govnah and the UberKernel from webOS internals. As a backup I would suggest installation of webOS Doctor.WebOS Internals developed Govnah for webOS about two years ago. 


The application has been tested and proven to be stable. However, please understand that this may void your warranty and there's always the possibility of overheating and damaging your device. 


LAST THING! Be sure to make a donation to them! It's great to have guys like these in the webOS Homebrew community! http://webos-internals.org

Battery Life: I haven't seen any significant difference in power consumption. Make note that a faster processor could mean that you spend less time getting work done and you may not see a difference in battery drain. But if you watch a movie for hours on end that may be another story.
