WebOS Quick Install
we have started a new thread for WebOS Quick Install. Please continue any discussion here.
http://forums.precentral.net/homebre...all-contd.html
WebOS Quick Install v2.03
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 support@canuck-software.ca
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! :-)
Here's my brief Setup Guide.
Please read my Troubleshooting Guide before posting in this thread.
Tweaks Guide
Requirements- WebOSDoctor recovery rom
- As of v1.2, WebOSQuickInstall can download and setup WebOSDoctor's file for you.
- 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 - As of v1.1, this now gets setup through WebOS Quick Install.
- 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
Features- Stylish easy-to-use GUI.
- Cross-platform support (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux).
- Supports postinst and prerm scripts.
- Tweaks panel for OS customization on a deeper level.
- Supports standard ipkg feeds.
- No Linux knowledge required.
- No rooting required (or whatever getting-access-to-root setup is now called).
- Support for multiple ipk file transfers.
- Support for adding files both via filechooser popup and by dragging and dropping files onto the transfer queue.
- Works with both USB-connected WebOS devices and the WebOS emulator.
- Ability to hide/make visible the DevMode application in the launcher.
- Full device information section.
- Management of user-installed applications. Lists all user-installed applications and gives the option to uninstall those applications.
- Send and receive files to and from a WebOS device.
- Support for custom .ipk installations.
- Quick-access link to the PreCentral homebrew forums.
- Handy usage panel that explains the earlier-mentioned requirements.
