Default [Q] Can I update webOS and still put Android on?

An update has come up for webOS so I was wondering, if I update can I still put Android on at a later date?

Thank
James

In webOs, apply the tweaks to make it faster (logging, preware, etc.). The instructions are in the forum.

I find webos fast with no lagging. I have Uberkernel Oc'd to 1.7 max, 384 min.

In android, I use cm9 alpha 2, and/or Cherry Kang. They both work well.

Please remember in order to upgrade your WebOs to the latest you have to remove any kernel tweaks first then re-apply after you upgrade.

What if I have CM7 alpha 3.5 already on my touchpad? Can I install the WebOS update or will it remove CM7?

You may have to run ACMEInstaller again after updating WebOS. CM will still be there, its just moboot is not working so you will have to reinstall it using ACMEInstaller.
