If the thing being used to install it puts it under /var/usr/palm/applications (e.g. by using "ipkg -o /var install" or WebOS Quick Install, or other apps that use Palm's InstallNoVerify service), then it should be removeable.

If someone used ipkg without the -o /var switch, or ipk-opt (which should only be used for Optware packages), or some other installer that puts it directly in /usr/palm/applications, then it won't be removeable.

It's also the appinfo.JSON - it has a line for removeable = true.

This one does remove.

What this sounds like is that the app did not fully install - it was interrupted, something. Maybe it's missing something. A reinstall of a new ipk would overwrite the old install and he should be good to go.

I apologize if this was asked already, but is it possible for wallpapers to be saved in the wallpapers directory? I'm using Switcharoo and it uses that folder to switch between wallpapers. Thanks in advance.

**BrianHal** · 08/04/2009, 08:25 AM

Could you change that, on the next page, that moves to the top of the page?

pimpmypre: You guys are making good progress. What's the chances of you guys posting a change log? (or am I missing something here?)

I'm having no luck whatsoever installing via url. I've tried multiple urls copied directly and complete with nothing. It hangs on "Downloading".

Possible, probably. We'd have to look further into it. Any chance of switcharoo having the option of choosing which folders to look at?

Ya, we said we're working on that - we just haven't found the right Mojo function yet. Ask your developer friends if they know what it is.

We haven't had a lot of time to post the changes with each version - we were thinking of doing that in the app on the pop-up for updating. Have it tell you what was updated.

You probably have the url to a page or forum page - you need to make sure the link is directly to a file. Try the link in your browser on your pc. It must pull up a dialog asking you to download. If it's a page, you need a diff URL.

idk either.

Seems that the app is very community driven. So I guess there is some reason why they wouldn't submit them? Profit? Wish they'd coordinate because it would benefit us all! Nice work on Preload!

**aldojr80** · 08/04/2009, 01:59 PM

First off love the app and i have installed an app via url and that worked great. Yeah i which we could see more apps on yours but for now Favorites. I mean on your side you must know what people are downloading the most eh well could we know so then it kinda is on top because i see this thing even getting more bigger in files and such.

**lepordgek** · 08/04/2009, 02:16 PM

This should be on the front page. We need to find a way to get all devs to submit. Why don't you post a new thread, with a more inviting title, encouraging devs to submit?

**s4mb4** · 08/04/2009, 02:17 PM

yes, this thread either should be sticky'd or restarted. I like filecoaster just fine, but this is way better. very similar to Cydia.

**Mononoko** · 08/04/2009, 02:32 PM

There should be a download counter, and the name of the submitter to keep track of things.

**jateelover** · 08/04/2009, 02:50 PM

+1 sticky

**mr.jcarter** · 08/04/2009, 02:56 PM

Suggestions:
-Any way to display the number items in each catagory from the main screen? For example:

--Music & Themes---
Ringtones (103)
Sounds (21)
Wallpapers (320)

-The News section seems kind of useless (at least right now)
-The Message Boards is a great idea, but with no organization it will get messy really quickly. Maybe instead make a message board under each app, sort of like a review section similar to the App Catalog.
-More defining categories underneath the main ones. Example:

Ringtones
-Alternative
-Blues
-Country... etc.

-Save the long description of the app for the actually download page. Maybe a short one sentence description just to give the user an idea what the app does if the name itself doesn't explain enough. Also, including the app's icon would be a nice touch.

Good job so far though, I appreciate your hard work.

Please let us know if you figure out what the problem was. Inquiring minds and all...

The other apps/homebrew stuff I have installed:

Blocked
WxRad
PreBrewFarts
PreCheckers
DevMode Launcher
MyTether (paid donor, used their beta installer)
PreTac
Filecoaster
Snake
gdial pro
My Notification

I haven't tried wiping clean/using the "dr" to start from scratch, but am more than willing to test..

What should I try next?

I doubt you reached your app limit.
Try installing with filecoaster using this link

No, you can listen to them on the Pre.

Some people just aren't aware of the plus sign when assigning a ringtone that makes the Pre look into other folders for them.

Right now, we put ringtones in pmpringtones and sounds in pmpsounds. If you go over 50 ringers in your default ringtones folder, they will not show when you open the list to choose one. That's a Palm thing and that's why we did it.

**biggamer3** · 08/04/2009, 04:22 PM

When I push plus, ALL my song show up. How do I just have the dl songs from ur awesome app show up?
