Preware only having a handful of patches

crowning73 · 10/14/2011, 11:18 AM

I installed Preware and updated feeds but it only shows a handful of patches and apps, while on my Pre I had thousands, what am I doing wrong?

what happens/lists when you show all patches from the webosquick installer.

crowning73 · 10/14/2011, 01:17 PM

Same thing, a whole lot of them just aren't there

ToniCipriani · 10/14/2011, 01:18 PM

Some patches got consolidated into the Advanced patches.

geekpeter · 10/14/2011, 01:48 PM

should still be 80-90+ patches tho

i have 30 patches installed and show another 94 available.

well it says 120something patches are available but it doesn't make sense, all my fave patches have gone! Is it a compatibility issue with 2.2?
tonight I need my sleep tomorrow I'll make a list of the patches I can't bloody find.

Are you using the same device? It doesn't seem like it, but...?

I don't understand what you mean, I just bought a Pre3 but I still have access to my classic Pre, here's the story:
Pre installed patches 65, available 652 (six hundred fifty two)
Pre3 installed patches 13, available 123 (pittance)

Took me two years to find the right patches for me, it's irritating not to see them, I'll list some of the patches I can't see anymore (not all of them as it'd take me too long), pls someone let me know if they can see them, if yes what are your settings.

Can't find:
actual words instead of icons
add space between snooze and dismiss
additional contact labels
battery percent as icon WHITE
call duration in log
call history during call
character counter
create birthday events
enter key for new line
glass effect
increase speaker headset volume
messaging privacy
scrim contacts
scrim emal
scrim messaging
scrim system screens
SMS vibrate to two seconds
virtual keyboard
.......

As I said these are just random ones, there's a lot more I should see but don't, plus, I installed the black out theme and nothing changes.. what the F is going on?

The patches you are missing probably haven't been (or cannot be) updated for the version of WebOS you are running on the Pre3.

That's what I feared, but I didn't want to believe so many weren't upadated to 2.2

, it really sucks, can anyone check if at least sms tone per contact is there?

I just can't believe there're no simple things like character counter in texts (seriously? is it the 90s?) or a way to put a less dull background with the scrims patches, but then it's a pattern with Palm, from the Treo to the Pre it was a step back, so it is from the Pre to the Pre3...

You just have to spend some time and search through the patches forum, to see if there are equivalents available for the Pre 3. Pre 3 and 2.2 is still relatively new and it might be sometime, before the patches are upgraded/made to work with it.

However, I do remember seeing patches that help you set 'sms tone per contact' and 'character counter in texts', work for Pre 3. I'll post back if I can find the links. Search is going to be your best friend still.
