Update: Added all the reports from me and other people to the list in this post for a better overview.


I thought I'd start a list of patches I tried on my GSM Pre (O2 Germany, running webOS 1.1.3) and report on what worked and what didn't. Please add your own experiences!

I use Preware to install the patches. If a patch isn't listed, I haven't tried it.

Other problems
5x4 Icons v2 - This one didn't install but ended up in my installed list anyway and now I can't remove it from there, even with EPR. Be careful! I couldn't get any of the other XxX patches to work, either.
