What I have done to keep the app catalog after flashing the 1.2.1 firmware

After all this can I delete the files?
And how can I reverse if something goes wrong? (Using sprint 1.3.1)

I am not a linux guy, but as far as my understanding goes with the commands,We are installing the 3 ipks and then you copy the directory "com.palm.app.findapps" to "/usr/palm/applications/"
But as I already told you I am not a linux guy, so please leave the copied files there itself as I have left it. Also I have tried this with 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 and Nothing goes wrong! So no need to worry

Yes you can delete the files.
And yes you can reverse, to do this follow the same process but use the files from the sprint WebOS doctor instead.

Thanks for the wornderful tip Shadow.

This works like a charm!
Hm, any chance of anybody automating this process? e.g. a program (WebOSQuickInstall?) that lets you choose which app store you want and then change it? I could imaging that there are a lot of people out there that want their 1.1.3 app store back on their 1.3.1 pre cause they removed lots of apps :-(
And I have the feeling that a lot of people would prefer a "choose and click" solution instead of "extract and copy and start under linux ..." solution...
Hm, is there a thread to request features for WebOSQuickInstall?
What about now that O2 1.3.1 is out? Does some one knows how to do this on sprint 1.3.1 using the new catalog from O2 1.3.1?

Hi everybody... I tried and i have the app catalog.
I extract files from european firmware 1.1.3
1)download the file:
RapidShare: 1-CLICK Web hosting - Easy Filehosting
2)extract on your computer (winrar...or something like that)
3)copy all the files on your Pre in (usb mode)
4) install terminal on your Pre (preware)
5) reboot your Pre
6) Launch terminal
7) write command : (be carrefull with spaces)
mount / -oremount,rw
cd /media/internal
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var install ./1.ipk
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var install ./2.ipk
/usr/bin/ipkg -o /var install ./3.ipk
cp -Rf com.palm.app.findapps /usr/palm/applications/
reboot
8) now you have 161 apps!
work in switzerland
Confirm working with 1.3.1 (italian).

I am assuming when you say 1/2/3.ipk you actually mean
audiod-config-eu_1.0-5_castle.ipk
palmcustomizationinfo-wr_1.0-100_all.ipk
sweatshop-wr-castle_1.0-13_armv7.ipk
right?
What is the original dir if you wish to mount it back?

Yes.
I could probably help you, but not quite show what you mean by whats the original dir if you wish to remount, elaborate?

Sorry my bad... I thought we were copying a blank directory by doing this "cp -Rf com.palm.app.findapps /usr/palm/applications/"
I don't know where my eyes were earlier on when I unpacked the rar file. I looked again and I saw that we are replacing the catalog application.
Are we losing any major fixes by doing so? Do you know?
Thanks

Nahh its fine.
When you do cd /media/internal/ you are moving into that directory so any actions performed are using the files there (in this case it was the app catalog app which we moved to usb/internal)
As for as i can see no, didnt notice any bugs anyway, all we are doing is everting to the 1.1.3 catalog which gave access to all free apps (inc U.S).
rapidshare not working
please, you have uploaded it to a free rapidshare account and it only alows you to download the file ten times. could you upload it somewhere else.. or somebody who already downloaded it?

Just playing Devil's Advocate here....
I am assuming that the 1.1.3 files are from the GSM image.
Why didn't we use the app files from 1.2.1 Sprint version?
Anyone tried that?

When i flashed to 1.2.1 Sprint, i only had around 20-30 apps for some reason, thats why =P. Using 1.2.1 defies the whole purpose of this thread.
Reverting back to 1.1.3 EU gave me 160+ apps.
