Hacks & WebOS 1.1

hparsons · 07/23/2009, 08:29 PM

I thought it would be good to have one place with how WebOS 1.1 affected (or didn't affect) hacks. I'll try to update this as I hear more.
Note Since I can't/won't check all of these out personally, it would help if you let me know which "category" to put them in, and update me if/when there's a fix, or if informatioin is incorrect.

Overwritten

Cron
I have two scripts (random wall paper, and one that uses GPS to send an email locating the Pre) I originally thought the random wall paper was working, but it wasn't. Renabling cron got both working again.
Custom boot screens
Universal search add-ons
Added extra websites besides default Google, Google Maps, Wikipedia, and Twitter - this works if reapplied
Phone Dialer
Went back to ugly green - Previous mod works when reapplied
d2globalinc hacks
A script that incorporates several hack/changes into one utility, he has updated this
Sliding from off the screen no longer brings down the menus.
Removing the beep on charger
Autocorrect changes
Hiding NASCAR
Default email reply color to black
Add Delete Pages in Launcher
Phone radio toggle
Confirm Delete on email
Ignore A, An, The in music app
Brightness mod
Menu option to add and remove launcher pages
Additional launcher pages remain.
Sideways email
Colored background for all-day events in month view
State listing on phone calls
PDF viewer mod
Noise for DTMF tones when dialing using the touch screen.
changing the carrier text
Radio Power Switch
Download From Browser
Media Player Bookmarks
Disabled Charging Sounds

NOLApre · 07/23/2009, 08:30 PM

black dialer is not working

trim81 · 07/23/2009, 08:32 PM

dam, i am really staying off this update until the hacks are re-coded

Jtemple33 · 07/23/2009, 08:33 PM

d2globalinc hacks do not work.

the homebrew app: my notification does work. thats all ive tested so far.

TMed_ATL · 07/23/2009, 08:40 PM

I've searched but im probably using the wrong search terms. Can someone direct me to the section of the wiki that allows me to turn off forced updates? I don't wanna loose text fwd cuz i use it about 3 time a day and I need it for work. Any help please

gollyzila · 07/23/2009, 08:41 PM

here's the link but they don't advise you do it. Blocking Updates - WebOS Internals

jhoff80 · 07/23/2009, 08:45 PM

Haven't tried redoing these yet, but they're not working and will need to be redone:

Drag Menus
Removing the beep on charger
Autocorrect changes
Hiding NASCAR
Default email reply color to black
Add Delete Pages in Launcher
Phone radio toggle
Confirm Delete on email
Ignore A, An, The in music app
Brightness mod

Still working:

Since it's really just a set of graphics, I don't see how it would be a problem.

xxrake · 07/23/2009, 08:57 PM

anymore,thanks for your job,thanks for your share..

Liberty Rebellion · 07/23/2009, 09:08 PM

When did 1.1 come out?

Edit: Nevermind just noticed the other threads.

tntsniper · 07/23/2009, 09:17 PM

d2globalinc hacks:

If you do one of the two.. it will make your texts no longer work, period (disabling doesn't do jack)...
1. Enabling Forwarding
2. Enable Time Stamps..

I have officially jacked up my pre

I can't send texts or anything.

Any one have a fix? I hate to hard reset my pre.

So in other words don't try those hacks again without him (or someone) modifying them?!

The others work though? Like the email in landscape?

dnezat · 07/23/2009, 09:24 PM

The roaming hack is no longer working either..

LocoTreoGurl · 07/23/2009, 09:34 PM

The menu option to add amd remove pages launcher pages is gone, but I still have the additional launcher pages I added before the upgrade.

Jtemple33 · 07/23/2009, 09:38 PM

email in landscape works. so does state location.

and yes in otherwords dont install any of his howtos untill he updates them.

as far as homebrew apps that ive tested so far and work:
xboxfriends
pretris
translator

chrissurra · 07/23/2009, 10:07 PM

Just reapplied the dialer hack to make it black with no issue, also did the email sideways hack and it worked.

The call duration stayed but I lost the state calling one, I tried reapplying the state calling one and it didnt work.

I also reapplied the add remove page one and it worked as well.

sacherjj · 07/23/2009, 10:17 PM

I remember posting in the script thread about getting a hash of the file to modify before modifying it. I think that would be a good feature to add, so the script can say: "Sorry, the patch won't work cause the Hash is jacked up", instead of damaging the phone.
