WebOS Quick Install v2.6
This program is intended for use with WebOS applications that are in-testing, which under section 4.2 of the Palm SDK License Agreement allows for such unapproved applications to be installed on Palm devices. Applications installed with WebOS Quick Install have not be tested by Palm and are installed at your own risk.
This program is freeware, but not opensource. Feel free to share it with other testing forums.
I can be contacted at

If you contact me, or post in this thread to contact me, you must also include the following information:
- Device: are you using a Palm Pre or the emulator
- Operating System (include 32bit or 64bit)
- Have you followed my troubleshooting guide completely
I will be ignore emails/posts that don't follow that format.
Donations are appreciated as I'm just one person developing this app during my spare time.
Enjoy! :-)
NOTE: Remove all Tweaks before upgrading from 2.03 to 2.5
Installation and Usage Guide.
Troubleshooting Guide
Tweaks Guide (slightly out of date, I'll update soon)
Requirements- WebOSDoctor recovery rom
- Do not run WebOSDoctor, or you may inadvertently erase your device to WebOS 1.03 factory settings
- If you want to download it on your own, Sprint download here, Bell download here (use either if you're just using emulator) and copy that .jar file to the same folder as WebOSQuickInstall.jar
- Java 1.6
- For Mac OS X, once you've installed Java 1.6, run /Application/Utilities/Java/Java Preferences. Then click and drag Jave SE 6 to top of both list, and exit the program. This will set Java 1.6 as the default version to use.
- Novacom
- You can manually install Novacom by going in WebOSQuickInstall and in the menu File->Options, then press the "Attempt Novacom (re)installation" button.
- If you have issues and you're on Windows, try following these instructions (even if you aren't on Windows 7).
- For Linux, try downloading the Novacom file here.
- DevMode enabled
- This can be done by typing "upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart", opening the DeveloperMode app, and enabling the feature.
Lastly, when you plug in the device, if you want to use WebOS Quick Install, choose the "Just Charge" option on the device.
Running WebOS Quick Install- Simply double-click WebOSQuickInstall.jar and (as long as Java is installed properly) it will launch
