leaked 1.2 working app catalog

[jack87]

No need to worry about this mod anymore leaked 1.2 official app catalog seems to be working now.
----------------------
so with the wave of new apps us 1.2 users cant take advantage of them sadly since the leaked 1.2 app catalog does not work.

But we all know the 1.1 app catalog does work... so extract your 1.1 web os doctor .jar using winrar and then resources folder... and in there extract the webos.tar file and in there extract the nova-cust-image-castle.rootfs.tar.gz

win rar will extract all those file types

inside the \nova-cust-image-castle.rootfs\usr\palm\applications directory you will find the app dir.... com.palm.app.findapps

rename it to com.palm.app.findapps2
inside of it use your favorit editor to change the app id under appinfo.json and the title

so the code should read as

{
	"title": "App Catalog2",
	"type": "web",
	"main": "index.html",
	"id": "com.palm.app.findapps2",
	"icon": "icon.png",
	"version": "1.0 Beta",
	"vendor": "Palm, Inc.",
	"noWindow": true
}

now save it....

when all done either package up as an ipk and install to your pre or just use winscp sftp and drag and drop it into your palm applications dir. its late. 4am i might clean up instructions friday night going to bed now.

I was thinking that this would work. I just never got around to trying out 1.2 to see if it did.

[awrnsmn]

I to was looking at this. I was wondering if I take the whole 1.1 folder and put it in, if that would work. Anybody try this yet?

[Elysian893]

Have you verified this works? I tried it, following your steps, it shows in my launcher, but it won't launch... The App Catalog 2 icon lights up for a couple seconds, and then nothing.

[fritos1406]

yes it does work

[jack87]

yes it works perrfectly however I have it in my usr/palm/applications folder... I have not tested in the var2 dir... Works flawlessly... Thatcs exactlyy what I'm doing is putting the whole findapp dir from 1.1 dr into my 1.2 file system. I personally used winscp and d rag and dropped I have not tried the ipk method.

ya, I also use winscp. So why are you having to change the name? Doesn't just putting the folder in work, or am I misunderstanding?

[jack87]

I change the name and app ID so it doesn't conflict with the 1.2 app catalog already there.. If you want to compleatly replace the nome working one than you don't have to change the name or app id

[awrnsmn]

Perfect thank you jack87. I hope they release it soon so we can quit having to tweek 1.2 to get things to work. I guess it will come when it comes.

I copied it to /media/internal/ and then copied it manually and recursively to /usr/palm/applications, did all the other steps you mentioned as well... guess I'll have to try a different method...

maybe you can try removing the current app catalog... place it in internal dir.. and delete it from usr/palm/applications and than move the 1.1 into it to replace it

jack87..thanks, it worked great. It is nice to have the app cat. back again. I replaced it with 1.1 and saved the 1.2 file on my computer for easy access when it comes out. It sure beats going back to full 1.1. That's what we call having your cake and eat it to!!

I dragged and dropped via WinSCP, and the app launches, showing the 1.1 fake-load screen, but then returns the same "App Catalog unavailable" message as the 1.2 catalog.

there is no need to push the old catalog onto 1.2. I accidentally hit the app catalog icon today and IT WORKED! The UI is slightly changed and it seems to be more responsive than the old app catalog, but then again that could also be due to the fact that 1.2 is a lot faster as a whole. i have downloaded 4 apps through the new catalog and they all work.

When did it start working. You would be the first with 1.2 to get it to work that I know of. Maybe they are releasing 1.2 now soon if it's working now.

[jack87]

1.2 catalog is working!! So there is no need to put the old catalog in 1.2 anymore.

Confirmed, works for me in 1.2 as well
