**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 15 02:59:57 2011 Jul 15 03:00:20 yeah, I'm used to oop so I'd just like to get a bit better with it Jul 15 03:00:50 im just a guy with a compiler :) Jul 15 03:01:06 (and no shift key :P) Jul 15 03:01:17 and I don't know how to use it! ;) Jul 15 03:01:32 The shift key? Yargh! Jul 15 03:01:46 Anyhow ... why are you doing static linking, anyhow? Jul 15 03:01:50 Oh, This shift key? Jul 15 03:01:51 redundantly Jul 15 03:02:04 because i'm being lazy Jul 15 03:02:19 * cat-xeger bites back a snarky comment about the lazy mans load Jul 15 03:02:54 where I should be building one plugin for this app, I've setup a basic plugin that calls out to sox to convert this wav file for me Jul 15 03:03:35 And I saw Ben said on the forum that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to the app root folder when it's launched Jul 15 03:04:13 So I should be able to use the dynamic libs, but when I call out to sox with popen() sox cannot load the lib Jul 15 03:04:23 I thought that had more to do with chrooting things Jul 15 03:04:35 I'm not sure Jul 15 03:05:04 At this point, I'm going to get the basics laid down then go back and fix my bad shortcuts Jul 15 03:05:23 build one proper plugin Jul 15 03:05:49 * cat-xeger notes that craptastic hacks done in the early stages have a nasty habit of staying forever Jul 15 03:06:02 ... since it's always a pain to go back and fix them, and there are other things to do Jul 15 03:06:15 my pre2 and my touchpad both resample this 30 seconds wav at almost 8 sec, crazy Jul 15 03:06:27 oh I know Jul 15 03:06:46 I have 6 apps I've started, and 0 i've finished Jul 15 03:06:56 ext` - at least they're consistent. Jul 15 03:07:05 lol cat Jul 15 03:07:26 so I'd like to get the whole flow done, maybe ill get excited to finish it proper Jul 15 03:07:40 I have 3 apps started and 8 themes. two themes are posted. no apps ready yet Jul 15 03:07:49 Yeah, it's the most consistent thing i've seen out of hp in a while ;) Jul 15 03:08:54 ... so you're saying that hp is consistently inconsistent... Jul 15 03:09:10 https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=16020&view=previous looks to answer your question, btb Jul 15 03:10:25 ... with https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=7944 as an adjunct Jul 15 03:11:09 yeah I saw that a few days ago Jul 15 03:11:36 it wasn't working for me, I think it's because i'm using popen() to call sox Jul 15 03:11:41 etx` - so the summary seems to be "setup your package with the dynamic libs you need to link to, and then you'll have them handy to reference them" Jul 15 03:11:46 Are you doing that? Jul 15 03:12:07 yep yep Jul 15 03:12:32 it didn't work for me and I didn't spend a ton of time investigating it Jul 15 03:12:48 but I will soon Jul 15 03:12:49 * cat-xeger *sighs* Jul 15 03:13:00 that's clearly the better way Jul 15 03:13:18 That sounds remarkably like spending extra time and work trying to work your way into different problems instead of sorting out the first one... Jul 15 03:13:57 ... but maybe I'm just grouchy from spending the last day-or-so cursing the person who designed inconsistent data formats into what I was working with. Jul 15 03:14:00 Yep, it is for sure Jul 15 03:14:05 I used "designed" loosely. Jul 15 03:14:11 heh Jul 15 03:15:19 fwiw, my list includes "see how implausible it would be to get calibre working for webos" Jul 15 03:15:32 ... presuming that hasn't been done yet (I haven't done much of a search) Jul 15 03:16:03 oooh that'd be cool Jul 15 03:16:17 If it has, I haven't seen it Jul 15 03:16:44 Heh. I haven't either, but it was a cursory search. Jul 15 03:16:49 ... copious spare time, and all that. Jul 15 03:17:26 what's up? Jul 15 03:18:00 Just saying that the thing on my project list is either finding a port of calibre to webos, or seeing how feasible it is if I can't find one Jul 15 03:20:32 ... calibre being the app functionality that has caused me to think that there's a point to getting a tablet Jul 15 03:22:37 Right, and it's mostly python... so it'd be mainly getting the pretty sorted out. Jul 15 03:23:04 mmmmm, Python Jul 15 03:23:15 Eh. Jul 15 03:23:20 heh Jul 15 03:23:29 Some year python may stop feeling like I'm trying to type with galoshes on my hands Jul 15 03:23:37 ... but by that time, it'll have finally morphed into java Jul 15 03:23:47 heh Jul 15 03:24:05 Yeah I dig it, but the whitespace thing gets me Jul 15 03:24:18 no brackets around code blocks, wtfff Jul 15 03:24:24 it's like lua Jul 15 03:24:25 heh Jul 15 03:24:52 My grouse there is that I can't reconstruct a python program if the whitespace is squashed or otherwise mangled Jul 15 03:25:04 yep Jul 15 03:27:47 Ah well. Jul 15 03:28:06 I should sort out laundry, and see about trying to get something closer to 8 than 4 hours of sleep. Jul 15 03:28:33 same Jul 15 03:28:37 minus the laundry Jul 15 03:29:19 8? who ever gets 8? Jul 15 03:29:30 5-6 is my avg Jul 15 03:31:46 e-gadget-guy - good for you... Jul 15 03:32:00 for myself, I prefer to have enough downtime to integrate what I learn. Jul 15 03:32:40 downtime... interesting concept Jul 15 03:32:48 I should try that Jul 15 09:23:25 Hm, is there no trick to having app-specific "Don't ask again" type of behavior with location services? Jul 15 09:23:48 I sorta wanna keep it on "Always ask", but it's a bit annoying when stuff like foursquare then always asks Jul 15 09:23:58 Maybe I'll see if I can write a patch for this, not that I'd have any idea what I'm doing Jul 15 09:24:02 :D Jul 15 14:08:32 So...apparently Palm backs up stuff that was installed Via preware aswell... Jul 15 14:08:36 as well too.... Jul 15 14:11:03 what kind of stuff? Jul 15 14:11:14 cookies and db8, yes. Jul 15 14:11:18 anything else, no. Jul 15 14:26:26 Well, I was trying to figure out how he profile that I made in Govnah survived multiple doctor visits and wipes.... Jul 15 14:27:38 cookies Jul 15 14:29:15 I like cookies, i ate one yesterday though, not as satisfying as I thought it would be... Jul 15 14:50:59 Where is the Hello! app tutorial involving node.js services and enyo? Jul 15 14:52:31 twbbas, it's in git Jul 15 14:52:51 http://git.webos-internals.org/applications/hello/ Jul 15 14:52:54 thank you Jul 15 14:53:13 I'd call it an example rather than a tutorial. Jul 15 14:53:20 true Jul 15 14:53:47 Yeah, I thought there was a tutorial but an example works too Jul 15 14:54:13 anyway... sleepy time for me Jul 15 14:56:03 nn Jul 15 15:01:47 cryptk: I'm new to using git. Is there a way to download those files? I'm not seeing one. Jul 15 15:02:07 install git on your local system Jul 15 15:02:16 then git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/applications/hello Jul 15 15:02:22 assuming you are on a linux system Jul 15 15:02:28 Windows 7 :( Jul 15 15:02:31 if you aren't... then get some windows version of git Jul 15 15:02:36 Ok, thanks Jul 15 15:02:36 and use the same command Jul 15 15:02:58 oh... and get a real OS... (just kidding( Jul 15 15:03:22 or you can just look at the source on that URL I gave you Jul 15 15:03:23 heh Jul 15 15:03:26 Is the new Xecutah launched Xterm broken on the Pre2 right now? Jul 15 15:03:28 just click where it says tree Jul 15 15:03:34 I can get the X Server to launch, but not Xterm. Jul 15 15:03:43 cryptk: Yeah, I saw that. Was just wondering if the was a download thing hidden anywhere on the site Jul 15 15:03:55 no download on the site... gotta use git to get them Jul 15 15:04:00 heh Jul 15 15:05:09 Tigrao: same issue here Jul 15 15:05:36 works fine for me Jul 15 15:05:56 I'm looking for log information as to what might be the problem, but the X logs aren't where I would expect them to be. Jul 15 15:06:01 start X server... it opens in a new card... swap back to xecutah, click start xterm... swap back to the xserver card, there it is Jul 15 15:06:26 aww, it needs a beta doctor Jul 15 15:06:28 cryptk: That's exactly what I am trying to do. Maybe it is because I have the Verizon Pre2 stuck on 2.0.1 still? Jul 15 15:06:31 only on the TP Jul 15 15:06:36 right, sorry Jul 15 15:06:48 Tigrao, AFAIK it should still work on 2.0.1 Jul 15 15:06:51 TP is really all I care about at this moment :) Jul 15 15:07:00 I know there are issues with anything < 2.0 Jul 15 15:07:29 summatusmentis, you can still use it, but you will need either a bluetooth keyboard (as xecutah says) or synergy Jul 15 15:07:36 and synergy is not yet ready for prime time Jul 15 15:07:45 cryptk: right, I read through all that. Jul 15 15:08:13 the X logs should be /tmp/xterm.log Jul 15 15:13:07 Loudergood: are you using webos v2.0.1 and not being able to launch Xterm? Jul 15 15:16:14 elpollodiablo1: I am Jul 15 15:23:27 elpollodiablo1: Both the xserver.log and xterm.log exist in /tmp but they never get written to. Both files are 0 bytes in size. Jul 15 15:23:30 cryptk: Thanks for pointing me to downloading git. That worked perfectly for downloading the entire source of Hello! Jul 15 15:23:42 err cryptk|offline Jul 15 16:30:42 great app for the touchpad, glimpse, you should check it out if you have a touchpad. great example of multi-tasking in one app Jul 15 16:31:03 Weird... xterm will run on my Pre2 if I ssh in and export DISPLAY="127.0.0.1:0" Jul 15 16:31:17 Then I manually run /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosintern Jul 15 16:31:17 als.xterm/bin/xterm Jul 15 16:31:27 whoops Jul 15 16:31:30 Tigrao: very interesting, i seem to recall some issues with using the domain sockets in the jail. Jul 15 16:31:39 Tigrao: ty for the find, i had completely forgotten about that. Jul 15 16:32:25 or at least with the abbreviated display format, which i thought implied domain sockets while yours suggests tcp. Jul 15 16:32:58 I didn't try abbreviated format. I couldn't remember the syntax for the abbreviated format... Jul 15 16:33:16 Is it just 0:0? Jul 15 16:33:20 I have a device that's already activated Jul 15 16:33:24 Tigrao: DISPLAY=:0.0 Jul 15 16:33:30 but I want it to be in dev mode (it currently isnt) Jul 15 16:33:44 dtzWill: Trying that now. Jul 15 16:33:45 the touchscreen is broke.. how would I do it Jul 15 16:33:58 no, for sure on earlier devices when i went into chroot i had to use the longer format.... i just don't remember why exactly (and made up the tcp va domain socket as a possible explanation) Jul 15 16:34:00 w/o doctoring Jul 15 16:34:40 dtzWill: Xterm comes up fine when using :0.0 Jul 15 16:34:54 Tigrao: chroot? Jul 15 16:34:55 Tigrao: okay, then that isn't it hehe :). Jul 15 16:35:09 oh i probably just wasn't bind-mounting tmp or something, don't mind me. Jul 15 16:35:31 PatrickC: Not a chroot. I'm just ssh'ed into my Pre2. Jul 15 16:36:09 ah Jul 15 16:36:35 (I'm decently certain i probably just forgot to bind-mount tmp..., seems mostly likely) Jul 15 16:36:57 Tigroa: did you have the xserver card up when you ran the xterm command? Jul 15 16:37:16 elpollodiablo1: Yep Jul 15 16:39:45 PatrickC: You could use the meta-doctor to put it in dev mode. Jul 15 16:39:57 I was trying to avoid the doctor route Jul 15 16:40:09 That's the only way I could possibly think of. Jul 15 16:40:12 anyone want a spotify invite for the US? Jul 15 16:40:14 I have some Jul 15 16:40:39 Spotify would be fun to try... but use the invites on your RL friends first :) Jul 15 16:40:55 none of them have webOS devices :/ Jul 15 16:41:03 so, they don't get love! :P Jul 15 16:41:07 lol Jul 15 16:41:08 want one? Jul 15 16:41:12 Sure :) Jul 15 16:41:32 PM'd Jul 15 16:55:51 is there an easy way to fix the digitizer? Jul 15 18:30:18 Anyone here removed a Pre- comm board? Stuck on step 7 @ http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Sprint_Pre_2 Jul 15 18:37:28 been there, what's the issue? Jul 15 18:38:42 there's a bit of glue on that as well, so it can be expected to stick Jul 15 18:40:04 dgathright: making a sprint pre2? Jul 15 18:40:17 yup Jul 15 18:40:22 cool Jul 15 18:40:26 I'll be making one soon Jul 15 18:40:35 just got my spare pre Jul 15 18:40:57 * NuttyBunny steals PatrickC's Pre front screen Jul 15 18:41:05 NuttyBunny: you can have it Jul 15 18:41:15 its cracked, and the touchscreen doesn't work Jul 15 18:41:23 where do I send it? :P Jul 15 18:41:28 once you've done it once it's stupid easy to do Jul 15 18:41:29 argh Jul 15 18:41:47 hehehe Jul 15 18:41:49 Loudergood: cool Jul 15 18:41:56 I'll be doing it for my dad soon Jul 15 18:42:03 NuttyBunny: you wouldn't rather have a pre+ front screen? Jul 15 18:42:17 I have one of those too Jul 15 18:42:28 Loudergood: I read somewhere that they aren't compatible with the minuses Jul 15 18:42:55 interesting Jul 15 18:43:12 Loudergood: need a spotify invite? Jul 15 18:43:42 sure Jul 15 18:43:55 bad esn pre+ is really cheap on ebay nowadays Jul 15 18:44:26 Loudergood: http://bit.ly/ndcmFI Jul 15 18:46:13 Loudergood: Nevermind. I figured it out. On to step 10 Jul 15 18:47:18 that one's a pain but it's obvious what needs to be done Jul 15 18:47:36 how cheap is cheap? Jul 15 18:48:01 (has to be worth comm swapping a pre- to a pre+) Jul 15 18:48:27 dwc-: pre- to pre2 is more worth in imho Jul 15 18:48:37 sure Jul 15 18:49:15 Loudergood: is it easier to swap the whole bezel? or just the comms board? Jul 15 18:49:29 Item image Jul 15 18:49:31 NEW PALM PRE PLUS BLACK MP3 3G TOUCH BAD ESN NO RESERVE Jul 15 18:49:36 uh-huh Jul 15 18:49:40 "new" with a bad esn already Jul 15 18:49:44 riiiight Jul 15 18:49:49 yeah Jul 15 18:50:04 of course ;) Jul 15 18:50:04 see, I needed a good esn.. those aren't as cheap Jul 15 18:50:12 Alright, Pre- now disassembled. Time to take apart the Pre2 Jul 15 18:50:18 actually I gues sthey could have never activated it and ran off with it Jul 15 18:50:20 dgathright: have fun Jul 15 18:50:27 and vzw might have blackballed it Jul 15 18:50:32 either that or it's stolen Jul 15 18:50:36 I'll practice on my pre+ first Jul 15 18:50:41 but either way, doesn't sound like somehting I'd want to buy Jul 15 18:50:43 "missing inventory" Jul 15 18:51:02 PatrickC: Yeah, I wish I would have done that first Jul 15 18:51:06 yeah I'd have a hard time trusting anyone coming up with a bad ESN phone Jul 15 18:51:12 * PatrickC needs to find a T5 Jul 15 18:51:23 dgathright: hard? Jul 15 18:51:24 PatrickC: lowes Jul 15 18:51:48 Loudergood: I probably have 10 here at home Jul 15 18:51:52 I just need to look :P Jul 15 18:52:10 I thought I did, I have tons of tools Jul 15 18:52:15 http://www.lowes.com/pd_239384-16878-60272_?PL=1&productId=1067905 Jul 15 18:52:19 that was like $5 Jul 15 18:52:25 and good quality Jul 15 18:52:26 PatrickC: Nah, not really, but I'm only halfway through the process and who knows that I fucked up. :) Jul 15 18:52:42 lol Jul 15 18:52:59 dgathright: did you remember to be gentle with the volume button? Jul 15 18:53:06 Loudergood: I'm sure I have it, and if I don't, my dad probably does Jul 15 18:53:18 he takes apart arcade games for a living Jul 15 18:53:38 I have tons of volume buttons to spare :) Jul 15 18:54:06 it's the little wire behind it that gets snagged Jul 15 18:54:36 not the physical button itself that gets damaged Jul 15 18:55:00 ah Jul 15 18:55:32 supposedly replacing that is about as much fun as replacing the screen Jul 15 18:55:51 I need to replace the screen on this pre I bought.. Jul 15 18:56:07 hey, can you activate a pre w/o using the screen *at all*? Jul 15 18:56:41 doubt it Jul 15 18:56:49 try it Jul 15 18:57:05 I don't need to sign into a profile Jul 15 18:57:12 just need the comms board activated Jul 15 18:57:20 then use the palm bypass tool Jul 15 18:57:45 and I can activate the comms board? Jul 15 18:57:52 I want to use its comms board in a pre2 Jul 15 18:58:11 so the comms board has to be activated before being swapped? correct? Jul 15 18:58:12 I'm not sure I understand why you need to do that before hand Jul 15 18:58:25 hasn't it already been by the previous owner? Jul 15 18:58:27 can I activate the comms board once its in a pre2? Jul 15 18:58:39 yeah. but I want it to be on my number Jul 15 18:59:01 do I have to port my number before or after the switch? Jul 15 18:59:17 I don't know about porting numbers Jul 15 18:59:35 ok.. Jul 15 18:59:36 Pre2 disassembled. Was a little more tricky than the Pre1 Jul 15 18:59:36 I had the same ESN so I didn't need to worry about it Jul 15 18:59:42 you understand what I'm saying? Jul 15 18:59:52 Yeah, the cable behind the volume button did get snagged Jul 15 19:00:29 T5 is great for pushing that button out Jul 15 19:01:52 hardware store was out of T5, but T6 is working fine, just a wee bit bigger Jul 15 19:02:04 interesting Jul 15 19:03:56 only 6 screws? Jul 15 19:06:46 dgathright: was the "palm" sticker hard to remove? Jul 15 19:07:54 the hell palm-install is hanging trying to put preware on my pre Jul 15 19:07:55 >:O Jul 15 19:09:23 I occasionally have preware and the official appcat hang trying to install an app Jul 15 19:09:34 a reboot should "fix" it Jul 15 19:10:00 yeah, rebooting now, just unexpected. thanks for the tip, will report if that doesn't fix it.. Jul 15 19:10:56 yep, fixed it. Jul 15 19:26:10 seems easy enough.. except for the kb tabs.. Jul 15 19:28:25 where are the cmd's to capture tokens? Jul 15 19:30:20 All done! Booting the frankenpre Jul 15 19:30:30 yeah! Jul 15 19:30:41 I'll be doing mine tomorrow (hopefully) Jul 15 19:30:52 just got to call sprint and activate it Jul 15 19:39:04 I'll be soooo happy to get rid of my pre- Jul 15 19:40:13 wirc on 1.4.5 why does emergency fstab fix need to be run? Jul 15 19:40:53 and what does it do? Jul 15 19:41:10 did you OTA update to 1.4.5? Jul 15 19:41:34 yes Jul 15 19:41:54 then the fstab part of your phone is broke.. Jul 15 19:42:16 you need to run the emergency fstab fixer to be able to use PDK/Hybrid apps iirc Jul 15 19:42:41 is that the saving data to the internals directory issue? Jul 15 19:42:56 no clue Jul 15 19:43:03 ok Jul 15 19:43:03 all I know is it needs to be run Jul 15 19:43:16 does it matter if it is before or after wirc install? Jul 15 19:43:31 not sure Jul 15 19:43:32 sorry Jul 15 19:43:37 I would do it before Jul 15 19:43:40 just to be safe Jul 15 19:43:54 that is what I was thinking thanks Jul 15 19:44:17 np Jul 15 19:45:08 tokens backed up Jul 15 19:45:17 I'm all ready for tomorrow Jul 15 19:45:30 dgathright: worked? pre2 activated/working? Jul 15 19:46:00 PatrickC: Well, it boots, and wifi works fine. But no audio from the speaker (tried YouTube). Jul 15 19:46:11 it currently says "phone offline" Jul 15 19:46:19 So, what do I do next? Jul 15 19:46:20 not good? Jul 15 19:46:24 I have no clue Jul 15 19:46:33 I haven't done the swap yet Jul 15 19:46:48 anyone know where the emergency fstab fixer code lives? I cant remember if I OTA or DRed it I want to see if mine is correct or not. Jul 15 19:47:02 Oh, I skipped Step 15. http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Sprint_Pre_2 Jul 15 19:47:43 doctor? Jul 15 19:48:21 elpollodiablol: just run it, lol. it won't kill anything if you doctored Jul 15 19:49:14 dgathright: I'm just happy we don't have to do the tokens thing anymore Jul 15 19:49:21 that makes it much easier imho Jul 15 19:54:02 PatrickC: Crap, that's right, b/c this is a Sprint comm board, I need to Doctor with Sprint webOS 1.4.5 :( Jul 15 19:55:57 Well, I guess I could go straight to webOS 2. http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_2_Upgrade Hmmm... Jul 15 19:57:12 why do you need to doctor? Jul 15 19:57:18 tokens aren't /needed/ Jul 15 19:57:49 i can't back up the tokens from my comms board Jul 15 19:58:04 unless there's a novacom cmd Jul 15 19:58:14 I dunno, just following the directions. Last step is to doctor it. Jul 15 19:58:46 yep Jul 15 19:58:52 and the tokens are no longer needed Jul 15 19:58:53 I think I'll start with 1.4.5 just so I can get a working phone. Then maybe later upgrade to 2 Jul 15 19:58:57 "NOTE: Tokens are no longer needed to create a Sprint Franken Unlocked Pre 2. You only need to run the script below. However, it is still a good idea to capture and store the tokens from each phone for potential future use." Jul 15 20:01:23 wirc is nice! Jul 15 20:01:30 yep! :) Jul 15 20:02:32 "Your device is not compatible with this version of Doctor" Hrmm..... Jul 15 20:03:07 uhoh Jul 15 20:03:37 Loudergood: you there? Jul 15 20:05:01 yes Jul 15 20:05:18 bbl Jul 15 20:05:27 gonna see if I can start to take the pre2 apart Jul 15 20:05:30 what script did you use? Jul 15 20:05:49 No script, just downloaded the Sprint 1.4.5 doctor, which obviously didn't work Jul 15 20:06:06 oh yeah that wont work at all Jul 15 20:06:34 So do I just go straight to Step 16? Jul 15 20:07:02 The device seems to work, though I don't have speaker audio. Will investigate that later. Jul 15 20:07:26 yes Jul 15 20:07:39 make sure you use the right doctor for your doner device Jul 15 20:07:47 was it verizon or gsm? Jul 15 20:07:57 Sprint Pre- Jul 15 20:08:07 the other half Jul 15 20:08:17 GSM Pre2 Jul 15 20:08:28 http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_2_Upgrade Jul 15 20:08:58 Too much reading :\ Jul 15 20:09:10 with patience you'll get through it Jul 15 20:09:12 it's worth it Jul 15 20:09:15 alright alright.... Jul 15 20:12:26 Loudergood: what do you use to take the "palm" sticker off with? Jul 15 20:12:31 I don't see that in the wiki Jul 15 20:15:29 what Palm sticker? Jul 15 20:15:45 PatrickC: ^ Jul 15 20:16:27 on the torx screw opposite of the power button screw Jul 15 20:16:36 I have a sticker covering it Jul 15 20:17:10 Yeah, just ignore that it's even there. it'll unscrew just fine with it on Jul 15 20:17:30 ah ok Jul 15 20:17:44 Screwdriver vs Sticker? Screwdriver wins. :) Jul 15 20:17:49 haha Jul 15 20:18:00 man... I'm anxious.. lol Jul 15 20:18:07 I want to do it soooooo bad right now.... Jul 15 20:18:28 The hardware swap is the easy part. There's a lot to do software-wise Jul 15 20:18:29 :( Jul 15 20:18:40 (at least it seems) Jul 15 20:19:06 not really Jul 15 20:19:17 just 3 commands (or is it 4) Jul 15 20:19:21 git clone Jul 15 20:19:26 mkdir Jul 15 20:19:29 ./scripts Jul 15 20:20:00 but i've made many meta-doctors :)r Jul 15 20:20:09 read the whole wiki first Jul 15 20:20:23 * dgathright *sighs* Jul 15 20:28:32 dgathright: let me know if you need any help on the doctor Jul 15 20:37:49 I don't get it...I keep trying the gesture tutorial...and I've MASTERED the back gesture...are there more this thing could teach me?... Jul 15 20:38:09 Even the help app takes me to a "can't be found" or something along those lines.... Jul 15 20:38:59 if you can change cards without first going to card view then you're all set Jul 15 20:39:46 Loudergood: you can do thaT? Jul 15 20:40:28 yeah Jul 15 20:40:56 under screen and lock turn advanced gestures on Jul 15 20:41:18 takes a little to get used to Jul 15 20:41:51 because a full swipe changes app in that direction, forward and backward are reduced to a half swipe Jul 15 20:42:17 Sick... Jul 15 20:42:36 See, what I'm trying to learn without asking because of the risk of being flamed...isss.... Jul 15 20:43:31 How does one use the...dock? efficiently...like, I know there's the wave thing...but is there a way of hiding the dock, can I put more icons on it than the 5...can I put icons on the desktop....etc. Jul 15 20:43:51 IS there a desktop?.... Jul 15 20:44:07 coming from android...this is...new Jul 15 20:46:56 Patch, no more than 5, andd...no Jul 15 20:46:57 gotit Jul 15 20:50:53 you likin webos so far?

Jul 15 20:58:10 I'm gonna buy a mbp soon Jul 15 20:58:29 someone has one here with 8gb ram, 900gb hdd, 3.0GHz i5, for $205 Jul 15 20:59:55 750gb hdd, i7* Jul 15 21:03:00 mbp?!? Jul 15 21:03:05 Huh. Jul 15 21:03:21 yep Jul 15 21:04:29 900gb HD must be a replacement Jul 15 21:05:05 its actually 750 Jul 15 21:05:12 http://nashville.craigslist.org/ele/2491986952.html Jul 15 21:05:20 Ahhh. Jul 15 21:05:33 Er... did they actually do the mbp in white? Jul 15 21:05:41 yeah Jul 15 21:06:08 Hmm... I must be thinking of a different screen size then Jul 15 21:06:26 Yeah, 13" Jul 15 21:09:41 * cat-xeger couldn't go that small Jul 15 21:32:42 Woah, PatrickC yeah, I dig it...feels like I'm missing something that android had...but overall I dig it...I don't like that the help app doesn't work...that's pretty annoying...and I can't download the Bible app...and that's REALLY annoying me. Jul 15 21:33:41 why can't you dl a Bible app? Jul 15 21:35:02 I use many different apps for Bible Jul 15 21:35:15 THE bible app? Jul 15 21:35:46 there are many Bible apps, but only *1* Bible ;) Jul 15 21:36:59 cat-xeger: I'll take whatever mac I can get for <$300 :) Jul 15 21:39:41 I dunno, I keep seeing them in hotel rooms, and they keep passing them out Jul 15 21:39:48 PatrickC: yeah, I can't download the youversion Bible app... Jul 15 21:40:02 that's the one I'm used to...but don't understand why it's inaccessible Jul 15 21:40:21 the closest thing to "1" bible would be the originals... none of these translation things Jul 15 21:40:49 the KJV is the closest to the original manuscripts Jul 15 21:40:58 dwc-: true...or the bibles that my church uses...(still written in Aramaic) Jul 15 21:41:00 RavenII|w: I use Simple Bible and BibleZ Jul 15 21:41:46 PatrickC: try accessing the youversion one... Jul 15 21:42:04 I'm confused, when you guys say bible are you talking about Linux Kernel Development by Robert Love? Jul 15 21:42:05 Palm support was telling me to wipe my phone....because it was my phone's fault. Jul 15 21:42:27 Error454: Duhh, is there anything else? (kidding) Jul 15 21:42:41 the closest english translation according to somebody at least :P Jul 15 21:52:21 PatrickC: So far so good. Doctoring the phone at the moment. Jul 15 21:53:02 Would anyone happen to know if there's some trick to cheat the country-detection logic in the app catalog? Jul 15 21:53:27 I see absolutely no paid apps, and after a discussion with HP support, it sounded like it was because the first sim card used in the phone was finnish Jul 15 21:53:47 The guy said it would work if I had used a UK card and then swapped in a finnish one.. Jul 15 21:54:00 And that the data was stored on the phone, but there was no way to change it (which I doubt) Jul 15 21:54:09 but I wasn't able to find anything helpful :/ Jul 15 21:55:14 I wonder if I'm stuck to wait until HP decides Finland is ready to officially have their phones :P Jul 15 21:55:38 dgathright: awesome! Jul 15 21:57:14 dgathright_: i've got to go, email me @ patrickappcreator *at* gmail . com what happens :) Jul 15 21:57:46 PatrickC: 64% done so far. Will let you know. Thanks Jul 15 21:57:56 np Jul 15 21:59:59 zomg: have you tried Impostah? not sure if it'll work, but its worth a shot Jul 15 22:00:19 I'll take a look, thanks Jul 15 22:00:28 np Jul 15 22:02:58 so what does everyone use as wallpaper on their TP? ^.^ Jul 15 22:03:45 the default leaves :P Jul 15 22:04:08 lol, what sort of question is that Jul 15 22:04:28 ohh never mind Jul 15 22:04:34 zomg: what I've heard said here is the country is stored in the profile for the phone (not the palm profile) on the servers and isn't changeable Jul 15 22:04:44 actually wait, I don't have a TP. scratch my answer. Jul 15 22:04:47 i read that as 'so does everyone use as wallpaper on their TP? ^.^' Jul 15 22:05:08 dwc-: I asked whether it'stored on the device itself and the answer was yes Jul 15 22:05:41 I actually found the "fi" value from impostah now but not entirely sure if I can change it somehow Jul 15 22:05:57 dtzWill, i just use my normal wallpaper sites then scaled it down to size Jul 15 22:06:09 there are not many good wallpapers that are already the touchpad size Jul 15 22:06:13 aw man i can't delete it >.< Jul 15 22:07:34 o_O one album i made auto-removed itself when empty Jul 15 22:07:37 both others don't Jul 15 22:16:38 PatrickC: Any idea where Impostah digs this "Paid apps access" value? Jul 15 22:16:56 under "Profile" or "Activation" iirx Jul 15 22:16:58 iirc* Jul 15 22:17:49 Yeah I mean I found the button for it but where does the data it shows come from :D Jul 15 22:18:01 no clue Jul 15 22:18:12 I wonder who made that app... They oughta know Jul 15 22:18:24 wosi I believe Jul 15 22:19:23 bbl Jul 15 22:26:14 Loudergood: Well, it mostly works now. Running webOS2, and connects to Sprint just fine. Only issue I'm having is w/ audio. Have you ever experienced that after a teardown? Jul 15 22:28:23 Works: speakerphone, mic. Doesn't work: earpiece audio, app audio Jul 15 22:30:29 hehehe Jul 15 22:30:31 dgathright, I know the answer Jul 15 22:31:01 Plug in and out a earpiece really fast a few tiems? Jul 15 22:31:05 times* Jul 15 22:31:11 at least that's what I did Jul 15 22:31:23 my next solution was to smash it and go back to android... Jul 15 22:31:43 dgathright: open your Pre2, take the battery out, take out the small tab that you left there inside the chasis (the one that you used to pull the battery) Jul 15 22:32:07 NuttyBunny: what does that tab do?... Jul 15 22:32:14 push up against something? Jul 15 22:32:51 nope, it's used to pull the battery out, but if you leave it inside the chasis it gets stuck between the audio connectors Jul 15 22:33:40 HAHAHA...that's awesome...I did that, but it still didn't work...so I googled and saw people say that the phone was stuck on stupid..inserted and removed an ear piece a few times...and voila. Jul 15 22:34:40 Well damn! Jul 15 22:37:58 PuffTheMagic: ah, okay. i found a few, just curious. Jul 15 22:38:00 Tigrao: thx for the 2.0.1 xecutah failure report Jul 15 22:38:10 my tastes in wallpaper for tablet seem rather different than desktop Jul 15 22:38:30 rwhitby: You are welcome. Wasn't too bad to figure out. Jul 15 22:39:53 dtzWill: how so? Jul 15 22:43:01 zomg: Palm lied to you. Jul 15 22:43:27 rwhitby: Heh. The support guy did seem surprisingly knowledgeable... :P Jul 15 22:44:19 the information is stored in your device record on the Palm servers. it is created once and cannot be changed by the user or any program. it travels with the device record to any profiles that the device logs into. Jul 15 22:44:46 zomg: Palm *can* reset it (even though everyone up to level 10000 support will tell you they can't). Jul 15 22:45:40 Sounds typical Jul 15 22:45:50 summatusmentis: mostly i like my desktop to be a bit darker, maybe b/c i stare at it all day Jul 15 22:45:57 whe i do that to my tp is just seems depressing Jul 15 22:46:01 Guess I'll see if I can harass the support dept some more Jul 15 22:46:11 so instead go for something a bit brighter and appealing Jul 15 22:46:21 I kinda wanna try developing some apps and perhaps a paid one as well, so it would be nice to see how it looks in the app catalog :P Jul 15 22:46:44 zomg: you have to tell them you bought a second hand device on ebay. if that doesn't work, take full details of the support persons name and their supervisors name and report that to Lisa Brewster at Palm. Jul 15 22:47:06 (@Adora on twitter) Jul 15 22:47:54 Guess I shouldn't mention the ticket ID from the past conversation if I do contact them again Jul 15 22:48:02 since in that one I said I bought it in the UK Jul 15 22:48:11 if i wanna test on a 1.4.5 device (That atm is stuck at the activation screen somehow, i don't remember what nonsense i was doing with it), and am getting 'com.palm.appinstaller ins't running" Jul 15 22:48:12 zomg: make sure you mention that the support pages are wrong and you will sue them for false advertising if they don't fix it. Jul 15 22:48:12 oh, except I don't think I said that I bought it new... =) Jul 15 22:48:13 dtzWill: I've decided I like B&W photos as my background o the TP Jul 15 22:48:27 can i just skip activation to get something i can just run apps on? Jul 15 22:48:55 rwhitby: Wrong? Jul 15 22:50:19 I need help with my Touch Pad. Wifi keeps shuttinh down, and I can't figure out how to load Preware on it. I get into developer mode but "charge: is not an option and Quick install or Doctor don't recognize it. Jul 15 22:50:55 Dobrodan: select 'Cancel' rather than USB mode. Make sure you've rebooted once after selecting developer mode. Jul 15 22:53:53 Woo! Audio issues fixed, FrankenPre complete. Achievement unlocked! Jul 15 22:54:20 ^5 Jul 15 22:54:46 I just got back from working on my other broken project (a 30 year old motorcycle) Jul 15 22:56:57 I rebooted after putting it in developer mode - Quick Install still didn't recognize it. Do I need a new version of Quick Install? Jul 15 22:58:24 rwhitby: well, thanks for the help. Guess I'll try my luck again next week Jul 15 23:00:14 are all pre2 prices ~$200? Jul 15 23:00:18 LOL my phone Jul 15 23:00:21 via screen freaking Jul 15 23:00:23 just put itself into usb mode Jul 15 23:00:24 ............. Jul 15 23:00:31 loooooooool Jul 15 23:01:37 summatusmentis: paid a bit more than that for mine, though I'm in europe where everything is more expensive Jul 15 23:01:38 does anyone know how i can..disable the screen? Jul 15 23:01:43 i honestly don't even need it -.- Jul 15 23:01:43 lol Jul 15 23:01:49 i mean disable the touch part of the screen Jul 15 23:01:56 zomg: hrm, alright Jul 15 23:01:58 (there's a small crack in the sdie, i think that's causing my issues...) Jul 15 23:02:14 I was hoping for stories of "no, I paid way less, here's how!" :-P Jul 15 23:04:30 summatusmentis: 200 USD is actually the lowest price I've heard of so far, though I never did check how much they cost across the pond Jul 15 23:04:44 the prices I've seen on ebay are around that Jul 15 23:04:51 sometimes 300 USD Jul 15 23:05:07 just a poor grad student wanting a new phone, but being unable to justify it :) Jul 15 23:05:34 Check amazon, I bought mine off there as it was oddly somewhat cheaper than what the ebay offerings in europe were Jul 15 23:07:29 I'm not even seeing anything on amazon :-/ Jul 15 23:07:49 /var/luna/preferences/ran-first-use was the file to touch, fwiw, jic it needs to be repeated Jul 15 23:07:49 maybe after the pre3 comes out they'll be cheaper Jul 15 23:08:01 (I'm sure it's documented in plenty of places, but i couldn't find it immediately earlier) Jul 15 23:09:33 dtzWill: Meta-Doctor Makefile is the best place to look for stuff like that Jul 15 23:10:01 rwhitby: indeed, but i'm just hoping to get a device that i can play with X on Jul 15 23:10:13 ahh didn't think i'd be able to tease it outta the infrastructure esaily enough Jul 15 23:10:15 i'll check there next time, ty Jul 15 23:10:27 (if nothing else, next time i forget i'll start there hehe) Jul 15 23:11:00 lol and this device won't let me novacom in Jul 15 23:11:01 of course not Jul 15 23:11:01 xD Jul 15 23:11:12 to the metadoc-mobile! Jul 15 23:11:23 (is it expected that novacom -l doesn't show a device that's not in devmode?) Jul 15 23:11:27 (dumb question #1000) Jul 15 23:14:36 j/w why doesn't metadoctor auto-dl the needed doctors? Jul 15 23:14:42 (just something i've always wondered) Jul 15 23:14:59 afaik once they're published they stay the same, or least seem to for the most part Jul 15 23:15:12 just b/c that's extra work, and everyone who uses it probably has the doctor(s) needed anyway? xD Jul 15 23:20:17 the scripts do do that for you if you use one of them Jul 15 23:24:07 ......... Jul 15 23:24:22 i dind't realize scripts were primary way to do anything, just primarily edit the makefile. intersting. Jul 15 23:28:54 scripts are there for end-users. devs are assumed to already have the doctors Jul 16 00:27:37 o_O device doesn't show up in novacom, dev mode enabled? :/ Jul 16 00:27:41 <-- special needs today Jul 16 00:27:59 lol Jul 16 00:28:00 freshly meta-doc'd Jul 16 00:28:06 * dtzWill reboots it for good mesaure Jul 16 00:29:00 So, having FrankenPre'd my Pre- & Pre2, I was hoping I could still use the Pre- (now with GSM board) just as a test device, no call network needed. So I doctored it to Sprint 1.4.5, and it won't boot, just complains about the SIM card. So my question is... what should I meta-doctor a Pre- w/ GSM board, just so I can get it to boot up. Jul 16 00:30:49 I would assume you'd meta-doctor it to the AT&T doctor? Jul 16 00:31:00 I don't actually know, but that's what makes sense to me Jul 16 00:31:38 meta-att-preplus-2.1.0 ? Jul 16 00:31:51 That won't wipe music / photos, right? Jul 16 00:32:52 brb Jul 16 00:36:41 it shoulnd't wipe music/photos Jul 16 00:36:56 that'll get you 2.1, not 1.4.5 Jul 16 00:37:10 also, it's not a pre+, but I'm not sure that matters Jul 16 00:39:41 dgathright, ... you *can* Jul 16 00:41:00 you could, to 2.1.0, but it may or may not delete music/photos, most of the time it doesn't, but it did it once on my Pre, just once Jul 16 00:42:58 o_O nope novacom still can't see it. worked fine when put into explicit usb mode. the hell... Jul 16 00:43:14 all i wanna do is test a package on 1.4.5 haha >.< Jul 16 00:43:17 * dtzWill fail at webos Jul 16 00:43:51 also what do i do to my phones?! haha Jul 16 00:43:57 pixi doesn't boot at _all_ Jul 16 00:44:03 one phone's screen is semi-cracked and freaks out Jul 16 00:44:09 and apparently i can't get novacom workin on this one Jul 16 00:44:10 :( Jul 16 00:44:13 poor guys :( Jul 16 00:44:30 * dtzWill waits for someone to dcfs on his webos family Jul 16 00:52:33 any idea where the usb storage is on the actual device? Is it a micro-sd card buried somewhere, or just something ob-board? Jul 16 01:04:58 okay novacom up again, wowza Jul 16 01:22:48 Could someone point me at a custom service api example? Jul 16 01:36:32 nm, found it ;-) Jul 16 01:39:29 sosborn, the Hello app has an example of about every kind of custom service out there Jul 16 01:40:52 Yeah, sorry. I wasn't even aware of the git repo until just now. I just got my service running in c++ and started looking into webos integration Jul 16 01:41:23 I think I found what I need though Jul 16 01:42:47 cool Jul 16 01:58:48 ok..is it just me or does the touchpad lose app data when it reboots...exibition mode photo album selections default to all albums on reboot...."market pulse' Jul 16 01:59:18 "market pulse" loses stored port follow created Jul 16 01:59:44 I am sure ther are more examples....these are the ones I just recently noticed Jul 16 02:00:24 or is this a similar usb write permissions bug like we had on the pnones? Jul 16 02:00:36 any thoughts ? Jul 16 02:01:32 I haven't noticed it Jul 16 02:01:43 are you rebooting it, or is it restarting on your own? Jul 16 02:02:06 on it's own* Jul 16 02:02:38 I have been rebootjng for various reasons Jul 16 02:03:00 so it's not luna restarting like some people are seeing Jul 16 02:03:57 I have seen the luna restarts also Jul 16 02:07:19 try selection a specific photo album in exibition mode and have it play for a few slides ...then re Foot the device then start exibiton mode again and see if it remembers your choices....

Jul 16 02:15:52 I was just about to start trouble shooting based I the patches I have installed ....no need for that now Jul 16 02:16:02 rwhitby: is the OTA TP update gonna make the TP keyboard work w/ xecutah? Jul 16 02:18:40 summatusmentis: how would one answer that without access to the OTA TP update, which has not been released yet. Jul 16 02:20:58 good point Jul 16 02:22:07 nevermind, I'm just excited about terminal access :) Jul 16 02:28:38 one could infer from the xecutah splash screen notes that the 3.0 beta is the OTA update that is coming....and could possible work with the virtual keyboard Jul 16 02:29:43 that was the assumption I was making, but I can just wait... if I have to :-P **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jul 16 02:59:57 2011
