It funny how you can do the same thing 15 different ways. I am looking at some of the codes others are using and they are completely different then what I am doing. Theo I wish you would have posted that 2 days ago and saved me some work but then I probably would not have learn as much as I did the hard way.

Still entering code line by line though, having trouble getting putty to work.
if you don't want to deal with the coding, download and set up winSCP. It gives me a file manager view and i simply drag and drop my edited PNG's into the appropriate folders...very very simple!

That is easier for a lot of people, I'm just a speed freak and love to be able to paste all commands and have them ran in seconds.

You all at PreCentral and the good folks at webos-internals have already shown this rookie some cool tricks but I am still having problems with my SFTP setup. I can log into my Pre remotely now but can not alter anything because I am stuck on step 4 of the webos-internals instruction which read:

"Step 4: Modify the sudoers file to allow your user account to sudo sftp-server without a password:

visudo
Once in the file, add the following line after the existing ALL line for your user - where //myusername// should be replaced with the user account that you are using to access your Pre via SSH. The order of the lines count here :

Example:

myusername ALL=(ALL) ALL
myusername ALL=NOPASSWD: /opt/libexec/sftp-server
Quit and save your changes (ESC :wq)"

When I get to this step I am lost. I can't figure how I am supposed to to give access with the NOPASSWD command. I typed in "visudo" while still in the /opt/bin directory. Am I missing something simple? Can anyone figure out what my noob *** is missing? help my brain is melting ... lol

winSCP does look handy if I can get it to works.

if I recall...if you saved your username and password through Winscp setup...it should auotmatically put in those lines for you.

type in visudo again through your sftp setup and if you keep scrolling down to the end you should see your username in quotes. if you see that just type :wq to quit and save.

I think thats what I did.

Make sure you have the right sftp server settings. It looks like its a drop down box, but you need to type in the correct info.

Also I sudo and mount remount through the putty link in winscp.

How can I get all the original icons off before I overwrite them with a theme? Or can someone post all the original icons?

There may be an easier way but I do this strictly via code:

Access the linux on your pre via PUTTY

First you have to decide which Icons you want to copy, since each application and system component has its own folder.

An example:

To copy all of the images related to the dialer on the PRE

cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/images/*.png /media/internal
cp /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.phone/*.png /media/internal

these are the two locations of the original .png files (the second command only copies one file which is the icon.png file. This is the phone icon which shows up in the launcher area)

To copy all of the images related to the WIFI, SIGNAL STRENGTH, etc

cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-systemui/images/*.png /media/internal

To copy all of the images related to the launch bar/ application

cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/images/*.png /media/internal
cp /usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/*.png /media/internal

just follow this format for each directory... if you cant find certain images let me know i can find the directory

cp /DIRECTORY PATH/*.png /media/internal

THIS COPIES THE FILES TO THE INTERNAL MEMORY OF THE PHONE>>>ACCESS FILES VIA USB MODE


hope this helps
