Hi, I'm working on a German version. But first I need to find out why the update of the patch hangs since I updated to 1.4.5

Hi Jason

are you aware of any WebOS 1.4.5 problems?
Wen I try to update the patch in Preware I get the following error:

Failed

I checked for usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/app/controllers/bar-assistant.js.rej, but it is not there.
I get the following when I check for the patched files:

The patch is working in 1.4.5 as before. So I expect that it is still installed properly.

I followed this instruction from Rod and it fixed my problem.

Even as I did the WebOs1.4.5 OTA update before starting with step 1.

This patch works great - Thanks Jason!

[adamf663]

what's working great? Advice that it should have been removed before the update?
Unfortunately, I didn't remove it first and my time machine is broken. Any way to fix it?
Of 38 patches, auto-off while charging is the only one that can't be updated or removed after the upgrade.

[Shadavis08]

if you look in the screen and lock menu the auto off option is there . Either the patch got stuck or palm added this function to the OS lol

[adamf663]

The auto-off option is on my screen lock utility, but doesn't work. It always turns off.

No, I think he's saying that he solved his problem by going through the steps even AFTER he had already done the update before he started with step 1 (the same situation you are in). I was in the same boat, and this solution also worked for me.

I've updated the patch so it will no longer have issues with AUPT. However, now, it doesn't have a toggle switch. Once installed, it'll always prevent auto-off when charging. Oh, and it works fines with v1.4.5.

EFV had a postinstall error, but it didn't matter.

That's great to hear.

I personally liked the way it was set up before the recent update. Not a big deal at all, but I'm not a big fan of how the turn-off time I select does not sticky after I take my phone off of the charger, then place it to charge again later on in the day/evening. Minor detail,im getting used to opening screen&lock and setting the time to my choice after I set my phone to charge with the default turn off time displaying 604800... Is that 604800 seconds, minutes, hours...?

Is this the same version that is on preware? or do i need to manually update this patch?

[smmullen]

I'm a VZW Pre Plus owner, which means I'm sadly still on WebOS 1.4.1.1. However, the patch won't update nor will it uninstall. Any thoughts on what's gone wrong? Should I post the error log here?

I updated this patch via preware. It's the easiest way.

That's weird. I'm on a VZW Pre Plus also and I didn't encounter an update error at all. I would post up the error log If I were you. I'm sure someone here will give you the answer that you are looking for.

[Mzfoxi]

I am unable to remove this, any suggestions?

[malpha]

Is there any way to get a version of this that only works on the TS? I'm trying to modify it myself, but a little lost.

Essentially, I actually would like it to stay off while connected to USB, especially since that with this patch, even if you turn the screen off manually, if a notification comes in, the screen with light up and subsequently stay on (unlike on the TS, where it will stay on the custom Touchstone screen).

[jjsorkin]

I just got my VZ Palm Pre Plus about a month ago and have already applied many of the patches including the Iphone Theme. I was also looking for a patch that would keep my Palm on while in touchstone charger especially when listening to Pandora. I downloaded Jason's patch today from Preware and installed. No issues during install in Preware and lunar restart afterwards but it would not work regardless of the switch setting from Screen & Lock. It would simply go to the lock screen with the clock which is a PIA in Pandora.

I tried Device restart versus the automatic Lunar restart and now it works perfect. I tested with it on Touchstone and without. Works as advertised!

BTW, my VZ Palm + is running webOs 1.4.5

Thanks Jason.

I am running a Pre Plus on VZW webOS. I used the patch with 1.4.1 and it worked fine.

I upgraded to 1.4.5 and it will not work. I have installed and unistalled this patch several times. I have done the Luna restart and a full device restart. What am I missing?

Follow up: I used the version included in this thread and installed it with Quick Install and it seems to be working now. The version that I downloaded through Preware does not work. This is a great patch. Thanks, Jason.


Thanks,
David
