I too, just did as the other poster did, and also have the same base files as before.

And I should point out that just getting the WebOS .JAR dump doesn't require you to actually reset and apply it to your phone. You can just download the WebOS .JAR file and decompressing it for analysis, and/or get the emulator running against it, which is what I'm eager to do.

Oh also is this affecting patches on the phone, like homebrew apps, modifications, etc?

Alright, let's back up.

How did you obtain this supposid WebOS 1.2 release? Did you go through Palm's support website? If so, at some point, you'll be sent and made to open a .jnlp file. If you open that file in a text editor, it'll have a "codebase" parameter containing a URL, and later a "jar href" parameter, containing a .jar file, which is what we want. Combine the two, and you can directly download the .JAR file, which can then be decompressed, etc.

The great placebo effect. I have to laugh when I see that, not just with Palm updates but updates in general, like Firefox, Opera, etc.

They could release an update that did nothing but change their logo and you would soon see posts like:

I'd like my friends on fire if they started spamming me with text forwards. Emails are bad enough.

Every WebOS update requires a reboot. Rebooting speeds up the phone because it eliminates the memory leaks that have accumulated since the last reboot. Try it out yourself. Go a full day with heavy usage (maybe only a few hours even). Launch and shutdown applications multiple times like the Sprint Nav, email, contacts, music, and other applications. Notice how the phone starts to become less responsive. Now reboot. My bet is you will most likely experience a real performance increase.

It might cause problems as you never know what is going to be updated/changed in the OS. Having any discrepancy in the code might not trigger updates that are supposed to happen, or it might cause them to go wrong.
