1.2.1 and Tweaks ^&%$*!!

130guy · 10/23/2009, 10:50 AM

Geez I hate the way this thing FORCES the upgrade on you with no option to say - 'leave me alone for a week'! Every time you charge it, it shoves the thing down your throat. I had all my patches/tweaks set and finally had Pre running with some usefulness and logic. Plugged in to charge and forgot to defer the 1.2.1 install and came back and it had done it automatically.

I didn't uninstall all my tweaks so now the Pre is back to (sucking) factory type settings but cannot for life of me resolve it with QuickInstall - it thinks they are installed but they don't work. I have:

-rebooted
-after the fact, gone into device management in WebOS Quickinstall and removed patches, rebooted again

Regardless they still all show on the tweak page, although none are working on my Pre and selecting or deselecting in Quickinstall or Preware simply leads to error message (something along lines of 'Already installed?)

Anyone with a clue? I don't.

Thanks,

Greg

Have you tried the EPR tool in PreWare or the QI Repair Utility?

Once you get your Pre exactly the way you like it.... First backup the /var/luna directory, then try running....

Code:

ipkg remove com.palm.app.backup

this may remove the backup application. I am not brave enough to try it myself so I don't know if it will work and if I want it back not sure I'll be able to reinstall without webos docotoring my Pre.

But if it does remove the backup app, that should solve your problem once and for all. Then when new versions come out you can webos doctor them on to your Pre at your convenience when you have time to remove all the patches, first.

Um, no. Don't do that. To prevent updates you'll want to

Code:

cd /usr/bin
mount -o remount,rw /
chmod -x UpdateDaemon
mount -o remount,ro /
pkill UpdateDaemon
