Default Side loading Apps via USB without rooting after 1.0.4 update.

In six easy steps!

This is what I have learned so far (from this site and others). Corrections are welcomed and appreciated.

1. Download the Mojo SDK to your PC by going here: http://preinsiders.com/home/2009/06/...ed-to-the-web/

2. Set your Pre to developer mode by typing the following in Universal Search: upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart. Follow the prompts.

3. Hook your Pre to your PC in “Just Charge” mode. Files will (automatically?) install.

4. Restart your Pre.

5. Download the desired app to your PC from the Homebrew App thread here: http://forums.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/

6. Drag the .ipk file for the Homebrew App onto Program Files>Palm>SDK>bin>palm-install.bat on the PC (a cmd prompt will pop up and after this you should see the app icon in your programs on the Pre).

7. Profit!

Please note: I have not tested this personally as of yet. I will by tomorrow.


EDIT: I have tried this all and it works. I have also drafted an even more simple version of the instructions that I hope to post soon. I have only one problem when disconnecting - I can't seem to Remove Novacom Device safely. I try to figure that out as well.
