Extract patches from your phone?

madeincanon · 04/19/2011, 01:48 AM

Is there any way I can get an installed patch from my phone, onto my computer? I want to use a patch in a theme that I made, but i don't have any way to download it.

Thanks

In general a patch is manipulating (changing/adding/removing) existing apps/code.
You can download the .patch file and look into it or you can copy the result of the patch.
In the .patch file you can see what app/code gets manipulated and you see at which line the patch is doing what.
You can get info about the format on the web e.g. here or here.

Pick which webOS version in the below link, find and download the patch. Use 7zip to open the ipk file and extract just the .patch part.

Index of /feeds/webos-patches/

Forgot to mention, to best view the patch, I use Notepad+ (free, and so is 7zip)
