hey guys,

ive been homebrewing since the early days, but ive recently run into a strange issue. whenever i install package manager service/preware through webOS QI, my phone goes "phone offline." it then regains the connection, only to lose it every once in a while. i also have issues loading my contacts (which are being pulled from gmail).

has anyone seen this before? any help would be appreciated.

So why are you not sleeping man? I guess you are like me and trying to get all I can get out of my pre with the app's and patches?

If you can offer any advice to how to get my pre to forward txt mgs I would appreciate it man.

I installed webos quick install and followed all the instructions on the how to install homebrew apps section. it all works until i get to pressing install for filecoaster, then my computer says error device not found. i have re-installed novacom as well as checked every other step and its still not working. is there any advice you can give me, or is there another method i can use???

Hello,

I successfully installed tweaks several weeks ago, including the silence dial pad/haptic tweak (love it, BTW!). If I call in to work, the intial call in to the autoattendant is fine (meaning, dial pad is silent, +haptic). Then, when I dial an extension, the dial pad tones are back (haptic is gone). Not sure if this is the right place to ask why, but you guys seem like a bright bunch so thought I'd take my chances. Any chance this will get fixed in the future?

Thanks,
Gayle

GAHHHH!!!! HELP MEEEE!!!!

i downloaded EVERYTHING and it's not detecting my phone...
i tried everything. please help me!!!!

well I have decided to return the pre and go with the samsung moment. Pre has its place just doesn't fit me needs right now. I previewed the samsung moment at a sprint store and it will better meet my needs and wants. Thanks for all the suggestions they were and are much appreciated.

The latest versions of Preware and the Package Manager Service now automatically select the correct patches feed for your Pre, based on the version of webOS which is running at the time.

(Note that if you happen to have access to the 1.3.1 Beta SDK, you can see 77 out of the 104 Preware-installable patches already available for 1.3.1 ...)

When you use Preware to upgrade the Package Manager Service, it will ask you to confirm the Java services restart that is required (that is the thing which resets the phone connection). It will do it once only at upgrade time.

• DevMode enabled
  • This can be done by typing "upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart", opening the DeveloperMode app, and enabling the feature.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the detailled instructions.
One suggestion: For the dev mode secret password, it might be pertinent to specify that this part is done on the PRE, as all of the above is done on the PC. It took me a few seconds to realize this, and since I dont do this kind of stuff everyday, it was not so obvious.

Cheers from Montreal.

I just updated to Ubuntu Karmic Koala (9.10) and now WOQI no longer works. It keeps telling me that my Pre isn't connected. I reinstalled the Mojo and then got the newest WOQI file and I'm still getting the same problem.

EDIT
I solved it. I had to remove Mojo by following these instructions, then installed the newest version of the SDK but used the Novacom app here.

The newest version of novacom doesn't work on Ubuntu 9.10.

When I click on Tweaks it says: No Device Detected. Please connect your device then hit "OK". My palm is hooked into my computer but it wont work. What do I do?!

I realize I'm probably necroposting, but I was wondering how I could delete those files specifically for this patch - Jason to the rescue once again! I can't believe I didn't realize that WebOS QuickInstall had a delete file/directory feature. Thanks so much for your tireless work.

Just curious what you're trying to imply. Does Preware not need to reboot java when installing services? Or do you mean java services only need to be rebooted on initial install and not during upgrades?

Done

by the way, the official Palm Novacom deb download link on the first post is the same version as what was posted on that website

Check out the first few posts. Also, try rebooting your computer; many ppl forget to try this.

I did reboot my pc, my phone is in DevMode, when i go to command promt and type in services.msc it says its started, and the WebOS Quick Install is on USB Device. I also unplugged everything from all the USB ports, thinking that could be an issue but it's still not working

Did you select "Just Charge" as opposed to USB Drive when you plugged your phone into the port?

I am the only one who can't get the custom feeds button to work (the third button down, under the plus and minus signs)? I don't like being this unique!

What happens when you click on it?

yes, i made sure its on just charging

Absolutely nothing.
