**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 22 02:59:58 2012 Mar 22 14:41:53 hello all. i have a 32GB Touchpad demo unit and want to convert it to a standard model with latest version of webOS. I would like a recommendation for the "best" howto guide for a noob. Mar 22 15:24:30 Hi, is there a way to trigger a bashscript every X minutes like cron reliably? When I try a while true with a sleep it is being halted when display is off. But somehow the services like email can wake the device Mar 22 15:24:54 theres an app... Mar 22 15:25:07 I know, nodoze Mar 22 15:25:15 but I want to work completely in background Mar 22 15:25:17 schedmyphone Mar 22 15:25:22 mmh Mar 22 15:25:27 interesting, I will take a look Mar 22 15:26:11 But looks very much like it uses the javascript alarms via the service Mar 22 15:26:13 bus Mar 22 15:27:17 alarms can wake the phone up i think Mar 22 15:27:41 but how do I set them from terminal? Mar 22 15:28:15 I am looking for a shell solution I can use in a script Mar 22 16:35:13 I have read the wiki tutorial at http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Tutorials_webOS_Activating_Touchpad_Demo_Unit, but that page was last updated on 30 September 2011. Mar 22 16:35:20 Is that the current and correct procedure, or are there newer/better instructions recommended to make Touchpad Demo Unit into standard model? Mar 22 16:35:43 i have no previous experience with any of this. Mar 22 16:58:55 Lektron, this is often the quiet part of the day, if you hang around for a bit someone that knows may read their back-log and see your questions :) Mar 22 17:00:31 RagingMind: hi, thanks. yeah, thought it seemed a little slow. :) i will hang around, and if it picks up later i will ask again if no one has responded. Thanks again. Mar 22 17:48:28 sebastianha: can you set them via a service? you could make service calls with luna-send Mar 22 17:48:48 that's what i am trying at the moment Mar 22 17:49:47 but I cannot keep the device alive Mar 22 17:52:02 And I see no way at the moment to invoke a shell script from luna service Mar 22 17:52:09 at least no simple way Mar 22 17:56:09 you could just use the alarms as a hack to make sure the system is not sleeping for your job to run Mar 22 17:58:43 I currently try to keep the system awake with palm://com.palm.display/control/serProperty but it does not really work well Mar 22 18:41:07 Lektron: yeah that looks current / good Mar 22 19:39:21 ok, now I have my own hacky shell cron daemon which respects the sleep state of the phone and does not drain unnessecary battery Mar 22 19:50:26 sebastianha, what you working on? Mar 22 19:50:43 I am working on a method to gain control over my phone when lost Mar 22 19:51:12 with the goal to minimize changes on an original webos Mar 22 19:51:17 like, full control? Mar 22 19:51:22 root via ssh Mar 22 19:51:37 wherever it is, only internet must be available Mar 22 19:52:08 nice Mar 22 19:52:18 and when I have root I can use luna-send or anything else to get location, play a sound, whatever Mar 22 19:52:24 or delete all my private data Mar 22 19:52:39 well, the delete is already available via palm.com/palmprofile Mar 22 19:52:52 i believe Mar 22 19:53:37 I know Mar 22 19:53:48 but after this I want to slap a thieve into the face Mar 22 19:53:54 and find him Mar 22 19:55:13 my script will survive a full reset. only the doctor can remove it Mar 22 19:55:47 nice Mar 22 19:55:52 what about a secure full erase? Mar 22 19:56:10 and it would be a cool idea to be able to use the front camera secretly and take a picture on the pre3 :) Mar 22 19:57:05 that's on you then Mar 22 19:57:13 with root it should be somehow possible Mar 22 19:57:31 I thought long about an app with several plugins what can be done when the phone is stolen Mar 22 19:57:42 I ended up with having full root access is the best solution Mar 22 19:57:59 yeah Mar 22 19:58:08 with full root you can do just about anything Mar 23 00:42:01 folks Mar 23 01:12:02 holly shit Mar 23 01:12:09 just got rstudio running on the touchpad Mar 23 01:57:34 nice Mar 23 02:45:07 the webos web browser needs a way of going fullscreen Mar 23 02:46:30 fullscreen with no toolbar actually **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 23 02:59:58 2012
