From the sound of the OP's message, it appears he is using a Mac, not Windows -- in which case installing the drivers, python, etc - is not necessary.. He should have just had to run NovacomInstaller.pkg, which he apeears to have done.

It sounds to me like the phone is not in developer mode -- did you do that?

jdwky

Yes, put it in developer mode, restarted, and even went back into it to confirm it was indeed in developer mode.

Here's what Terminal shows:
"J-D-Worleys-MacBook-Pro:/opt/nova/bin jd$ novaterm
Bus error"

Here's what Console shows:

Anybody know whats up?

RickNY

One of the things I have been trying to figure out how to do --- when viewing mail messages.. There are two buttons left and right that go forward or backwards in your emails.. It would be great if a swipe left or swipe right could accomplish this.. I have had no luck so far -- does anyone know what event it should be looking for to do that or another way to implement this?

Kimleng

+1

Coming from Windows Mobile, that's an operation I used a ton. The arrows at the top of the message do the job, but sliding left/right is just slicker It just integrates into the finger flow better. Pan and swipe vs pan and push.

RickNY

Right? Especially if youve scrolled down the message -- you have to scroll back up to get to the arrows.. Being able to just swipe here would be ideal.

Sorry to interrupt anything in this thread and I'm not even sure if this is relevant but I found Visual Voicemail mentioned in the ROM.bin file (/usr/lib/palmos/rom0/ROM.bin) and wanted to know if the feature works or not on the actual Pre.

Kimleng

Nope....not out of the box. That feature is being developed, though, as far as I've heard. It'll be out sometime soon.....hopefully sooner than later.

edoan

That directory is for legacy PalmOS code to enable MotionApps' Classic, so I'm doubting that Visual Voicemail would be enabled through that API. Might be a leftover from an aborted Treo/Centro project to get Visual Voicemail working.

SDash

Has anyone started looking to search in email in the email app?

Could it be possible to add a global search link with that?

I'm still surprised that's not still not figured out yet.

Kimleng

Well, we know where the emails are stored...it's just a matter of having a front end that can take input and search the backend and return results. An SDK might make that a bit easier.

seekis

Ok I can get root access and all but when I do the "wget" command with the ipkg URL all i get is 'bad address'

PLEASE HELP!!!

Turbo-SC

it's a celebration!

edoan

Can you verify that you can hit http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...163-10_arm.ipk from both your PC and the Palm Pre's web browser? Easiest thing to do on the PC side is to use Putty to ssh into your Pre, then past the wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...163-10_arm.ipk line into your Putty window to avoid typos.

mbudden

I found this in one of Palm's videos.

bit.ly/Nz05G

it's a link enter it in your browser. i don't have many posts so... yeah.

optik678

I looked through the wiki and the webOS image and I can't find the stock key bindings. I'm trying to get the Nintendo emulator to work but I don't know which address binds to which key. There is a list on the Doom article (which I can't get to work, BTW) of the code for the button mappings but not which button actually does what. Does anyone have this list?

edit : Doom works. I will figure out those keys and post up the mappings, if possible.

optik678

I am getting no response when I am prompted for button mapping according to the wiki. I tried the keybind found in the doom log, pressing actual buttons on the phone, as well as just inputting the normal characters. Anyone else get this to work? (Nintendo emulator)

Has anyone found out where contact linking happens. I have this idea to modify the contacts app, so that when viewing a contact, you could Click Preferences -> add to Palm Profile. This would automatically create a Palm profile with all the relevant info filed in (name, address, and phone numbers), and then link it with the name. This would have 2 benifits.

1) You could modify the contacts app so that only contacts with a Palm Profile Show up (removing any gmail/facebook/aim spam you dont want to see).

2) This would allow people to view addresses in the Contacts of the GPS Nav app, as well as any other 3rd party apps since they can only view the palm profile contacts for some dumb reason.

Kimleng

I'd like a bit fat EDIT button for contacts when you click on them in SMS. It's stupid that you can't edit your contacts from anywhere.

SirataXero

I'd like a burger, large fries, chocolate shake, and preferrably a happy meal toy.

spx

Throwing some wild guesses here, but I think that the failure may actually be caused since the gethostbyname() failed, as you can see that the fprintf() call (usually to stderr) is being made after the gethostbyname() call.

I'm not that familiar with Mac OS X that much, but is there a command similar to 'strace' on Linux? You could use that in order to see the hostname it tries to resolved and modify your /etc/hosts accordingly...
