make sure your connecting it as charge only and not as storage device or media sync... then just drag and drop your app onto palm installer.bat

Maybe the OP could amend his post and include instructions for Mac owners. It's a pretty simple process, and once again assumes you've installed the PalmSDK. A side note here- if you've rooted your pre, you can make a persistent Developer Mode icon appear on your launcher by following the instructions here. And now, on to the show...
Also, instructions are in this thread as well, for those keeping score at home.
Update: Looks like the SDK adds it's goodies to the path, so you can omit step 3. I've updated the steps to reflect that. Last edited by buyrihn; 07/06/2009 at 06:38 PM. |

I thought I would add -- If you have your Pre rooted:
1. Copy the .ipk to your phone using usb mode. 2. su 3. mount -o remount rw, / 4. cd / 5. cd /media/internal/ 6. ipkg install filename.ipk 7. mount -o remount ro, / 8. reboot To uninstall the program everything is the same except you use 'ipkg remove filename.ipk' |

Has anyone figured how to install apps from a linux workstation to a Pre using the java apps? Currently, I ssh into the Pre and either scp or sftp to grab the apps and install them. I got the emulator to work but can't get any apps installed on it to test...

No packages removed. Nothing to be done Then it returns to the command prompt. When I analyze the file system, it shows that my app was installed to /usr/palm/applications. Shouldn't apps I install be located in /var/usr/palm/applications ? That's where all of the ones I've tried from the App Catalog were installed. Did I misconfigure something when I rooted this sucker? Any ideas?

jeeter,
Sorry. I forgot to mention that you are going to have to go to the folder where the app installed to run the uninstall. Depending on the app is where it might install to. Sorry, others might have more insight as to where they may be. Also yes, I have now found out that "/usr/bin/luna-send palm://com.palm.applicationManager/rescan {}" is much easier than a reboot =) Sorry, not a linux professional here, just a failed computer programming student. |

I've been scrolling through the thread and still not sure of this question. If you install apps using the "unrooted" way, can they be deleted? If this has been answered....sorry in advance.

I usually use "pkill LunaSysMgr" to trigger the resetting of the launcher. I like it because it's not much to type
