and yeah the lock screen is not the same as the dialer

Ahhhh, thanks Max. Will do when I get back to my PC. I suppose this goes the same for the other style mods as well?

yes sir...but the lock screen doesnt work yet bc its asking for 3 pictures while it only needs 2 (i think)

For the record, these are the windows you guys should be seeing:

Change boot logo

2 files


Change dialer background

1 file required, 2 optional


Change lock screen background

1 file required, 2 optional


Lock Screen and Dialer share "List Section Line" I believe.

Click the grayed out text boxes or click the "..." buttons to choose your files

Thanks Jason. I believe those were the windows I was seeing earlier. I'll check it again in a bit when I get back to my PC to make sure. Thanks again for your great work!

Jason, (for future reference) if we need to go back to the original dialer (green one), do we just uninstall the new mod from the Tweaks menu and the old one will be replaced or do we need to reinstall the green one in the same fashion that we installed the modded one?

Thanks again.

The download in web browser breaks the internet, I cannot open the internet when this is installed, any suggestions?

Same thing happened to me.

Just uncheck the checkmark and things get restored to the original green dialer.


Requires WebOS 1.1. If you have 1.1, then I think we may have a problem, as I've tested with both the 1.1 emulator and a few 1.1 Pre devices (via beta testers).

well I do have webos 1.1 ........ I've had probs with this patch even before doing it with the webos quick installer.

Great guide! I am loving these tweaks! One question, though.. What exactly does "Scroll Fade" and "list Selection Line" do? can't seem to grasp how that shows up based on those 2 files..

Also, when the next update comes out from Palm, do we need to deselect the tweaks before loading, or can we load the new version on top of the tweaks? And, after the update, should we wait for you to update your program before selecting these tweaks again to ensure there are no conflicts, or can we continue to use these as is? Final question...if you add Launcher Pages and then deselect the tweak, do those launcher pages remain or do you lose any added pages?

thanks again, and keep up the good work!

Personally, I'm not sure specifically where/how often "scroll fade" and "list section line" are used. They're minor enough that they're optional

In regards to updates, it's best to uncheck all mods before proceeding with the OTA update. After the update's been applied, feel free to try re-applying the mods. Chances are most mods will still be compatible. Those that display non-functionally can always just be unchecked until I release an update anyway


Also, everyone, I've done a quick update to 2.01. I highly recommend upgrading.

v2.01 - August 18, 09
- Fixed postinst script support
- Updated 5x4 launcher icons mod to properly format long app names
- Fixed Send File feature

when i installed myflashlight with webOS quick install 2.01 it works but i got out of dev mode and it didnt work

Absolutely love the "tweaks" functionality. Thank you so much for this.

Any possibility to add the "4X4" icon option, instead of the "5X4," and also maybe a text field where we could just copy and paste additional patches we find here or on the wiki?

Also, any possibility of adding the functionality to easily rename individual apps?

Thanks again. Amazing.

Can My Tether be installed via WebOs Quick Installer?? Or are we still waiting for the ipks to be made?

Fixed here

4x4 icons, I may add. Adding .patch support, definitely not. Quilt is much better for patch stacking than mine ever will be. That said, I do plan on expanding the Tweaks section to include other commonly used mods.

Renaming of apps is a lot more complex than you'd think, and it's a nightmare I really don't wanna approach, lol. Far too many things could go wrong that would break uninstallation of the app, heh.

Still waiting on Aonic, the developer. He still hasn't answered my PMs or posts in the MyTether thread wanting to talk to him. It's not a difficult change (only a few lines of text), he's probably just busy.

Hey, I'd take 4X4. Maybe that'd shrink the font to a level where the spacing would work, and I wouldn't have to rename them. Right now, it's just that 5X4 makes the names overlap.

v2.01 fixes the text overlap by the way

it didnt fix it with dev mode off...

He's probably busy not wanting to loose the steady "donation" stream he's getting from making ppl "donate" to get the no root version of My Tether....(just imho)

Uninstall the previous version of Flashlight service. I've updated this post with a new download link
