blkink04 · 03/26/2010, 05:11 PM

doctoring? can you explain that a little better, im not fully understanding. sorry!

laelipoo · 03/26/2010, 05:15 PM

Before doctoring, open Preware and click manage feeds. Make sure all of them are turned on.

blkink04 · 03/26/2010, 05:16 PM

if that means completely swiping it clean free of all apps and everything, i have done that. my dad gets like 4,000 some packages and i only get roughly 65. helpppppp please lol thanks

blkink04 · 03/26/2010, 05:17 PM

all of my feeds are turned on

blkink04 · 03/26/2010, 06:04 PM

my phone will not take preware, doctored and all still doesnt work. now it wont even update packages and feeds period.

mikeh20 · 03/29/2010, 10:52 PM

Can we compile a list of beta/testing feeds to add on Preware to get even more patches, themes, and apps to test out.

I know there is the WebOS Internals testing feed and the Mode Switcher feed.

...others out there??? Thanks!

Did you read the description of the application in Preware?

agiudici · 03/31/2010, 08:24 AM

same thing happened to me. i installed all patches over again and apps. unsure as to why it happened. i had unexpected shutdown once while in preware, random reboot. ithink thats what caused it

The usual cause is someone using an old version of Preware at the exact same time that a background app catalog operation is underway.

Latest Preware versions prevent you from doing that.

TY Rod!!!!

You guys at WebOS-Internals are awesome!!!!!!

Thought i had it messed up and was going to need to dr. But nope Internals to the rescue!!!!

You guys should put a Cape on your penguin because you guys are superhero's!!!!

Got it!!

The solution is: an app has to be distributed in US, otherwise it is not listed in Preware (e.g. DE-only does NOT work!)!

Hmm - does the DE-only app appear in the Palm XML feeds?

yep - and (therefore) it also appeared in Appscoop.

But it did not appear in Preware.
And now I know, why a lot of my apps (even a lot of apps from the official app catalog!) are tagged as "unknown". Just because Preware only lists apps that are (among other languages) distributed in US.

Looks like I need to fix the conversion script on the autobuilder then. Thanks for letting me know.

I downloaded Mobile Hotspot and it deleted all of my installed patches from preware, but they are still on the phone just not showing up under installed patches? Anybody else having this issue and if so how can it be fixed to leave patches as showing up as installed on preware??

mdaviso · 04/05/2010, 02:20 PM

BTW I also have Sprint as service, if that makes a difference..
