**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 23 02:59:58 2010 Sep 23 03:14:50 hemna: hi Sep 23 03:15:09 hemna: congrats on your win - will we see your app soon? Sep 23 03:15:17 hey Sep 23 03:15:19 thanks Sep 23 03:15:26 hemna: when you activate the new phone, it will cause the profile to be logged out on the old phone Sep 23 03:15:37 the apps I wrote for the HP contest were internal only...they wouldn't be of much use to non HP folks Sep 23 03:15:52 you can then use the WebOS Internals MetaDoctor to reflash the old phone so that it will work on wifi Sep 23 03:15:53 I'm sucking all of the images off of my old Pre Sep 23 03:16:12 ah ok thank you Sep 23 03:16:52 hemna: you can also use Save/Restore to move stuff like game saves etc across to the new device Sep 23 03:17:16 oh very nice Sep 23 03:17:27 should I create a new profile for the new phone? Sep 23 03:18:02 hemna: if you do things just right, you can end up with palm catalog access on both devices Sep 23 03:18:25 its easy to do it as well Sep 23 03:19:13 hemna: do you have both phones activated on cellular at the same time? Sep 23 03:19:35 nah, I just want the new phone for cell network Sep 23 03:19:41 the old one for wifi/bt Sep 23 03:19:44 camera, etc Sep 23 03:19:50 basically everything but cell Sep 23 03:19:58 but you want app catalog access on both? Sep 23 03:20:17 yah Sep 23 03:20:27 2 profiles? Sep 23 03:20:30 yep Sep 23 03:21:01 note that the old phone (which is going to be wifi only) has to be registered with the profile *before* you meta-doctor it Sep 23 03:21:18 then you just relogin to that profile after the phone is meta-doctored Sep 23 03:21:31 I haven't activated the new one yet Sep 23 03:21:39 so I should metadoctor the old one first? Sep 23 03:21:45 then nuke it Sep 23 03:21:49 is the old one still active? Sep 23 03:21:52 yes Sep 23 03:22:06 do you want your existing palm profile to be used for the new phone? Sep 23 03:22:08 it's still live...pulling picts off of it via usb now Sep 23 03:22:28 I don't think I need to Sep 23 03:22:35 haven't really bought any apps Sep 23 03:22:43 ok, then you can do it an any order Sep 23 03:23:02 just create a new profile for the new phone when you get it activated Sep 23 03:23:09 ok perfect Sep 23 03:23:14 and keep the existing profile for the old phone Sep 23 03:23:42 don't mix the two, and you should be able to metadoctor the old phone and use the old profile to access app catalog Sep 23 03:23:53 (over wifi) Sep 23 03:26:23 great thanks Sep 23 03:27:11 there is a palm tool for getting past the first-use screen for a dev phone, but that tool doesn't allow you to access the app catalog afterwards Sep 23 04:02:43 so, got my first review for Pressi Zola free... Sep 23 04:03:14 'I am the first one to poop on this app' Sep 23 04:03:18 one star... Sep 23 04:03:25 lol... Sep 23 04:03:43 :(:( Sep 23 04:03:47 if everyone could do me a huge favor, download it (the free edition) and give me an hones review Sep 23 04:03:56 s/hones/honest/ Sep 23 04:03:58 cryptk|wirc meant: if everyone could do me a huge favor, download it (the free edition) and give me an honest review Sep 23 04:04:12 http://bit.ly/pressizola-free Sep 23 04:04:43 not asking for 5 stars, just try it out, give it an honest review of whatever you feel it deserves Sep 23 04:05:10 then if you like it and want to donate, then go ahead and grab the paid version Sep 23 04:05:57 but being completely up front, there are NO CHANGES between the free and paid versions, it is purely if you want to donate to WebOS Internals Sep 23 04:06:26 (my plans so far are to donate the entire first payment from that game to WOSI) Sep 23 04:08:26 stick a single ad in the free versions main screen and donate all the proceeds from that to internals? Sep 23 04:09:25 hope this is the right place ... having some trouble getting webosquickinstall to work right Sep 23 04:13:44 trying to get it running in Linux, but I can't seem to install the Novatel .deb file ... GDebi crashes whenever I try to open the files Sep 23 04:14:31 KittyHeather, sorry...we don't do that one here :( Sep 23 04:14:44 KittyHeather: are you able to install the Palm SDK ? Sep 23 04:15:04 no clue ... if i can get pointed to directions? Sep 23 04:15:49 http://developer.palm.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=page&id=1585&Itemid=55 Sep 23 04:15:56 thanks Sep 23 04:16:04 let me take a crack at it Sep 23 04:16:08 then you can use palm-install to install Preware from http://get.preware.org/ Sep 23 04:16:54 grab http://get.preware.org/org.webosinternals.preware_1.3.8_arm.ipk Sep 23 04:18:40 * KittyHeather blinks as she actually reads "Virtualbox? That's a bit of a surprise" Sep 23 04:18:52 you can skip steps 1 and 3 Sep 23 04:19:04 virtualbox is only needed if you want to run the emulator Sep 23 04:19:10 ahh Sep 23 04:19:31 may be good to have anyway, but i already have virtualbox on anyway Sep 23 04:19:59 KittyHeather: which distro & version? Sep 23 04:20:18 Linux Mint 9 Sep 23 04:21:20 it's an Ubuntu derivative ... hold on Sep 23 04:22:42 2.6.32-21 Sep 23 04:23:26 something is broken with my apt-get ... that may have to do with it ... Sep 23 04:24:17 guh ... brb Sep 23 04:24:27 silly question: is it possible just to install the ssh client from dropbear or openssh without installing the server? Sep 23 04:26:01 or from any package actually. I just don't want to install the server Sep 23 04:26:08 they're packaged together, but you can delete the upstart script which starts the server Sep 23 04:27:03 okay, thanks Sep 23 04:28:04 Since I'm turning off the server anyway, is there any benefit to openssh over dropbear? (dropbear benefit being it's a much smaller package) Sep 23 04:28:39 I don't think there is much difference for the clietn Sep 23 04:30:41 okeydoke. thanks! Sep 23 04:44:46 thanks Sep 23 05:01:39 okay here is where things get "interesting" Sep 23 05:02:21 I like the sound of that Sep 23 05:02:52 ah, rwhitby: It worked Sep 23 05:03:11 heatheriac, kewl! glad to hear it.

Sep 23 18:40:20 make sure your pre is in dev mode Sep 23 18:40:24 and connected via USB Sep 23 18:40:40 then run the repair utility and in the options menu, check the option for override compatibility Sep 23 18:41:07 yes, it's in dev mode Sep 23 18:41:30 it says for some reason it's not connected. and when I put in the USB, it didn't ask me to "JUST charge" like it always does :( Sep 23 18:42:25 restart your pre Sep 23 18:42:29 then plug it in Sep 23 18:42:40 I'm gonna restart it. :P Sep 23 18:45:18 and (only saying it because I have done it) make sure the other end of the USB is connected to the computer Sep 23 18:45:41 I have knocked mine out a few times and spent much longer than I should have troubleshooting before I noticed I knocked the computer end out Sep 23 18:45:43 lol Sep 23 18:48:10 it is not detecting usb :( Sep 23 18:48:14 it's not working.

Sep 23 19:04:09 in the options menu? Sep 23 19:04:23 if not, cancel, select that option, then run it Sep 23 19:04:28 it will take a bit Sep 23 19:04:39 it will look through your phone for modified files and change them back to stock Sep 23 19:04:52 once that is done, restart your phone and your theme should be totally gone Sep 23 19:04:58 then we will restore your patches Sep 23 19:05:22 ok, cool Sep 23 19:06:47 ok, great!!

Sep 23 19:09:36 yes, tell it to restore the original Sep 23 19:09:41 oh ok :D Sep 23 19:09:42 I forget the exact option Sep 23 19:09:48 but one of them is something like restore stock file Sep 23 19:09:52 or something like that Sep 23 19:10:03 that is it finding the files modified by the theme Sep 23 19:10:09 how long will this take? :P Sep 23 19:10:39 could take a bit Sep 23 19:10:48 oh ok. :) Sep 23 19:10:54 you see a bunch of text scrolling by? Sep 23 19:11:00 yep Sep 23 19:11:04 that is it checking the files Sep 23 19:11:16 if that hangs for more than about 10 seconds or so, let me know Sep 23 19:11:27 it stopped. it's modifying it now Sep 23 19:11:35 the only time it should stop scrolling is if it gives a popup about a modified file Sep 23 19:11:46 then you click to restore the stock file and it should start back up again Sep 23 19:12:01 woohoo, 6 reviews on pressi zola now (I hope they are good) Sep 23 19:12:22 btw, Pikula after we are done fixing your pre, you should check out Pressi Zola FREE (in the app catalog) Sep 23 19:12:32 then give it an honest review of what you think about it Sep 23 19:12:41 ok :) Sep 23 19:12:50 and if you run into any problems with it, or have any ideas for it, let me know!

Sep 23 23:50:53 Android fanboys absolutely spin out of control when you point out how closed their supposedly open system is. Sep 23 23:52:20 * Mousey dislikes the idea Sep 23 23:52:35 * Mousey likes webos's resemblance to a real distro Sep 23 23:52:46 idontwan2know: How's it closed Sep 23 23:52:50 ?* Sep 23 23:53:00 I'm about to meet my first android phone in a few days Sep 23 23:53:05 well, 2 at once Sep 23 23:53:13 my housemates back at uni have them Sep 23 23:53:13 * Mousey thinks . o O ( dirtay! ) Sep 23 23:53:19 I'd like some ammunition =D Sep 23 23:54:39 Android (the generic source code release from Google, which does not run on a phone) is open. Installations of derivatives of that source code release when put on a carrier phone are usually closed. Sep 23 23:57:13 I see Sep 23 23:57:27 it confuses me how it takes forever to get the latest version released on all models Sep 23 23:57:32 well Sep 23 23:57:39 not so much confuse as depressing Sep 23 23:57:44 glad we don't have that problem! xD Sep 24 00:10:03 rwhitby is correct. The OS google gives to the manufacturers is open. Sep 24 00:10:27 idontwan2know: except for the closed bits, like GMail. Sep 24 00:10:27 The end user experience is less so, to a greater or lesser degreee. Sep 24 00:10:43 granted Sep 24 00:11:58 What users experience as "Android" is an aggregation of open and closed source pieces. What manufacturers get from Google as "Android" is an aggregation of open and closed source pieces. What you download from the android git repo is open, but you can't make a phone out of that. Sep 24 00:12:37 Time for bed me think Sep 24 00:12:39 nn Sep 24 00:12:46 yup Sep 24 00:13:51 The closest thing to an open mobile OS was OpenMoko, and even that had binary blobs for GPS and Wifi. Sep 24 00:14:19 (and was far from useable by a consumer) Sep 24 00:14:21 Of course, Google could do a lot more than they do to discourage the shenanigans that the carriers and manufacturers pull. Sep 24 00:14:43 idontwan2know: doing so would not increase advertising revenue, so Google has no incentive to do so. Sep 24 00:15:14 (that is the litmus test for absolutely everything that Google does) Sep 24 00:17:09 rwhitby: don't try to tell that to an Android nut. they're so busy bragging about how much more open their experience is than the iPhone they don't even notice that the real difference from a user perspective is negligible Sep 24 00:17:23 yup Sep 24 00:18:48 note that webOS is the same, with the exceptions that the OMAP3 has robust recovery mechanisms which Palm has fully taken advantage of with bootie and the webOS doctor, and I created a homebrew ecosystem which doesn't require the vendor to take legal steps to destroy it. Sep 24 00:19:17 ("the same" == an aggregation of open and closed source pieces) Sep 24 00:20:21 yeah, from a philosophical perspective they are the same, but the devil is in the details. Sep 24 00:22:58 it's also a function of whether the people distributing the homebrew modifications (e.g. kernels, patches, etc) care about the legalities of it or not. Sep 24 00:25:17 Yes. There is definitely a nefarious element in the android hacking community that is largely absent in the homebrew community. Sep 24 00:25:48 thats because we are special Sep 24 00:28:50 indeed Sep 24 00:29:56 that's cause we've taken care to set the correct example and teach the community how to do things effectively in a legal manner Sep 24 00:30:53 and given them a big carrot/stick scenario via inclusion in the standard preware feeds Sep 24 00:32:28 speaking of which, I uploaded a crapton of old versions of my feed maker to my ws and have to find which one broke preware Sep 24 00:40:07 cryptk: what is your twitter handle?
