[Patch] New Device Menu - Page 8

Garrett92C · 01/09/2013, 11:02 AM

@ Goyena, Firepower

That's strange. I don't see how New Device Menu could cause this, but I'll do some testing later today.

Any ideas what may be causing the 'Install Package' in Preware to stall like this?

I've heard some reports of Preware hanging when trying to install this patch. Internalz or WebOS Quick Install should handle it just fine.

I'll definitely be adding that back in with the next update.

Ah, I wonder why? I'll have to uninstall Sconix, reinstall Internalz (removed after the doctoring) and try again. Maybe on the train home tonight.

EDIT: Couldn't wait, tried it via Internalz and it worked a treat. Had to download the file and rename it to <name>.patch and then Internalz did the magic. Now I know why I always use Preware which will work directly off the URL.

Well, it works great. I'll have a full play around later.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I've uninstalled New Device Menu, but the problem remains. If this is an unrelated problem, I'd appreciate if someone could PM me a solution short of doctoring: AUSMT Recovery? Anything else?

Yes, same thing here.

Had to Download and install ist in Full Manual mode... Came as download.php, guess something is wrong with the server on which the file is hosted.
Very nice patch indeed, especially considering it,'s a beta.

@Garrett: AUSMT recoveries haven't helped. If there's anything you need to research let me know.

I haven't yet doctored, so I can do that as well if you want: e.g. doctor, restore all patches but the New Device Menu, test, install NDM, etc...

Jozz · 01/10/2013, 03:01 PM

I just installed the new menu. Looks very nice.

gluckos · 01/10/2013, 11:53 PM

Installed and beer for you :-)

replace the entire folder on your webOS 2.x device in /usr/lib/luna/system with Internalz Pro (with Master Mode enabled) - yes the entire folder
restart luna
go on preware, remove all top bar icons [if you have] (battery, gps, h-4.3g...) and re-install them - one at once, it's better.
install this new device menu patch.

This should fix all

- warning: it's a radical solution [it doesn't ruin your device, but, you know... system files are fragile), so use it if nothing else works (and if someone doesn't find another one better)

-Tested on my pre3 and all works fine.

haha i tried this then my whole top bar went missing after luna restart

I like it!!!!

ajguns · 01/30/2013, 01:09 AM

It look awesome Garret. Thank you very much. Donation will follow soon.

One thing though: why isn't it compatible with the Touchpad? Actually, in a more specific/accurate way: will you make it available for the Touchpad?
I personally think it would look great.

Best regards,

Garret doesn't have a Touchpad anymore so he doesn't actively develop for Touchpad anymore.

Besides that for the TP this is not done in HTML, Javascript and CSS, but in C(++) as part of LunaSysMgr if I'm correct.

Goyena · 01/31/2013, 11:35 AM

Did a doctor a few days ago, and my in-field picklists were working anew. But I just noticed they're broken again. I've convinced it's the patch (I haven't installed anything else new in months) but does that make sense?

I think it would be pretty awesome on the Touchpad too! There's a lot of great stuff you could do with it's device menu since it has a lot more room to work with. Unfortunately, I don't have a Touchpad anymore so I've discontinued all related projects and will not be making anything new. Maybe if I get another Touchpad someday (very unlikely), I'll see what I can do. I wouldn't get your hopes up though...

I don't see how it could be causing this, but it seems it is? I don't know what to say...

Can we donate you to help get a new Touchpad?
