I just got my Pre 3 from ebay (it's in amazing condition), and I'm trying to set up my account so I can email on the device and look at my calendar. However, nothing is working and it's giving me an error. Is there a simple way to get it working? Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob with all of this. The phone DOES have PreWare installed if that helps.

For Google Calendar & Contacts you need the Oauth2 patch that can be found in this forum. For GMail I don't remember exactly. You need the OpenSSL update from Alpha feed in Preware. Not sure if you need something else. I can confirm it still works with the right patches though.

Thank you for the response! Quick noob question, how would I go about applying that patch without a PC? Is that possible?

Short answer (because I'm on my phone), install "Internalz Pro" from Preware if it's not already installed. Then search Oauth2 here in the forum and use the post that Frantid updated back in March of this year. Follow the links to download the patch, you probably want the 2_224 version but check your OS version and match it. Install it with Internalz Pro. You will need the OpenSSL updater, which means you need to enable the alpha feeds in Preware, that explanation is too long for my fat fingers on my Pre3 keyboard.

Thanks Fred! Sounds like I'm going to have to go through quite a few steps in order to enable Alpha Feeds, I remember back in the day I used a computer program to install Preware, but I dont know if that's even in existence anymore...

Hey guys, so I got everything installed on my computer, but I'm still having a really hard time getting gmail and google contacts/calendar to work. Sorry about all the questions, is there by chance a step-by-step guide to getting this to work? For context, I'm using the Pre 3, I've got Preware installed (likely an older version because it was installed way back in 2012 according to the previous owner). Thanks so much!

1. Uninstall Preware.
2. Enable Alpha/Beta feeds as per https://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds
3. Reinstall latest Preware from: http://ipkg.preware.net/feeds/webos-...1.9.14_arm.ipk (you can use WebOSQuickInstall linked above)
4. Install OpenSSL updater 0.9.8-6 from Preware
5. Install the Oauth2 patch from https://forums.webosnation.com/webos...ml#post3005312
6. I guess it wouldn't hurt to install Certificate Grabber from https://preware.pivotce.com/package/...siccertgrabber (Though I think it's not really required anymore after the OpenSSL update, but not 100% sure).

Thanks Herrie!! It's telling me I need to gain access to the Linux command line, do I do that through the phone itself or through WebOSQuickInstall? I'm not familiar with doing that.

You can type novaterm or use the option in WebOSQuickInstall (Tools->Command Line from top of my head)

I see there are several patches available to install, how do I know which one to use?

For Google Oauth2 it depends on your device. So you need to take the Pre3 variant for 2.2.4. You can tell by the filename.

I'm trying to install one of the Oauth2 patches but they're all failing... I'm using a Verizon Pre3. Literally have tried all of them. Any idea why it's not working?

Please post a list of patches that are installed (from Preware). I suspect you have a conflicting patch installed already that needs uninstalling first.

I have the following installed on the Pre3:


Optware - OpenSSL, Optware Bootstrap
Linux Application - AUSMT Scripts, GNU Patch, Lsdiff
Applications - App Catalogue, Certificate Grabber, Maps, OpenSSL Updater, Preware, Quickoffice, and RootCertsUpdate


I installed RootCertsUpdate in hopes of it working to get updated security certificates because Cert Grabber wasn't working.
