first of all did u convert the files to a pre friendly format?
 
what is the total number of apps you can download before the pre is full?

The reason im asking is because I keep getting install errors from fileCoaster and to many apps and need to delete apps to install from app catalog (i have deleted some apps and still same responds).
The strange thing is I can download from Preware with out a problem.

Can someone please help me with this

Thanks

WebOS Quick Install Brings More Tweaks and Themes

thumb_350_tweaks.jpg


So the big WebOS Quick Install v2.5 release happened today. Aside from the theming support there were several other important and useful changes.

v2.5 - September 19, 09
- Completely redone patcher code
- Full theming support
- Added/updated many system mods
- Added "Messaging Mods" section
- Added virtual keyboard config settings

Theming is of course a very nice new addition (special thanks to madolen), but as you can see, it's not the only new feature. The big thing of 2.5, that easily took the most time developing was the new patcher that powers the Tweaks section. It's far more accurate, much more safe, and best of all has the ability to read standard unified format difference patches (the .patch files people also use with Qulit), though this functionality isn't exposed for custom patches yet.

What does this mean for the average person? It means I can add new mods and update existing mods to the Tweak section very quickly. When WebOS 1.2 hits, it'll take far less time to update and become compatible.

And of course, with a new patcher system comes more mods for the Tweaks section! Based on work done by fritos1406, there's a whole array of Messaging mods to customize it however you'd like; enabling landscape, adding an avatar, adding a character counter, and much more.

There also several updated tweaks, including clipcarl's iPhone user agent spoof. As well, for those of you out there who use the Virtual-Keyboard, there's a section for extra configurations like adding haptic feedback and setting a click sound.

So go and try out the new v2.5 (be sure disable all Tweaks from previous versions first), it's got something for everyone.

Announcing the PreCentral.net webOS Theme Gallery!
thumb_450_webos-themes.png

We are proud to announce the PreCentral.net webOS Theme Gallery! Like our Homebrew App Gallery, the Theme Gallery consists of user-contributed themes to help you make the most out of your Palm Pre.

The gallery has themes that were made with Jason Robitaille's excellent - and brand spankin' new - Web OS Theme Builder desktop application. They are available to all PreCentral.net members as a zip file download, which you can then install via Jason Robitaille's excellent - and also newly updated - WebOS Quick Install tool. We have a full How-To article all written up to help you through the steps.

We have to give huge thanks to the members of the Pre community who helped make this possible: Jason Robitaille, madolen for his huge batch of Pre themes to get us started, Sarah Peterman for her incredible work organizing and fostering our webOS Themes Forum, and to everybody who has been creating themes in the forums.

One quick note: themes basically work by replacing system files on your Pre - mainly graphics files - and so are a use-at-your-own-risk affair. As with patches, you should always remove themes before installing any webOS update, the good news is that the new version of WebOS Quick Install makes it easy.

Go on and take a look! After the break, some nitty gritty details for you developers out there.

If you're a theme developer and would like to have your themes listed in our gallery, simply hit us up on our contact form and select "Request Theme Developer Access." Be sure to tell us your username.

On the more nerdy side, we are providing our themes in a Zip file form that contains an XML file with all the details of the theme as well as the files themselves. We're working on providing a standard IPKG format feed - if anybody is interested in pitching in, hit us up. Themes in that format are already available both on-device on the latest version of Preware as well as from PreThemer.com.

For now, though, we're going to stick with providing the themes via a zip file that you download to your desktop and install via WebOS Quick Install - using that method means that you're less likely to run into the dreaded app memory limitation and also provides some flexibility for future changes.

I'm having the same problem! I hope there is an easy fix.
 
the seidio 1350 and the amzer 1400 fits the stock pre and pre touchstone covers ;)
i might cop one

didnt know if yall knew didnt search the thread to hard, but the centro and the pre use the same battery. Might be cheaper than buying a new battery. Especially if you have an old centro around like me

how long does the centro bat last in the pre?
 
wen i go to the website to download the new version for the pre i cant seem to find the way to get the 2.0 ver. AND do i have to delete my tweaks off my pre??
 
does any one knw how to take these patches off so i can be able to use the new ver. i tried to add more but it wont let me
 
Anyone using Tweed on their Pre? Is it the best twitter app or is there one that is much better. I just tried installing it but the install keeps failing.

Twee to me was the best.... but it is no longer available for homebrew since the devs submit it for the official app store.

Tweed is good enough tho'... but they're making a "paid" version. The paid version has more features... those that have the current version can keep it and doesn't have a timebomb.

On another note, I ain't doing no more tweaks or anything until this new OS update drops. I want to try out these themes but it'll be pointless if the new update comes out tommorrow..

That might explain why the version I'm downloading keeps failing the installation. Sneaky bastards trying to get in my wallet :angry:
 
Last night I think I learned the hard way that the Pre is partitioned in a way that has allocated space for apps. Once that threshold is reached, it won't allow you to install any more apps unless a different app is removed. I found this out when I tried to install Tweed. I kept getting no space available errors that didn't go away until I removed an app that I didn't really use. If this is the case then hopefully this will be resolved as part of the next update.

i ran into that issue too... i didn't dig too deeply to try and figure out if there were any work arounds, i just deleted some apps that i haven't used and decided to try and figure it out later on. I was wondering if the fact that i had most of my apps on the same page of the app screen was part of the problem... No biggie i guess

I've been using the WebOSInstaller from Precentral.net to get around that problem since there isn't much worth downloading in the Apps Catalog anyway. It's a bit of a chore to install but it has a themer and a tweaks function. It also has a one-button restore that can change all the tweaks back to default setting.
Also, preware is a cool app, it has everything from precentral and some other sites all in one app in the launcher once installed, and it lets you restore in the app, just remember to switch to developer mode before you install or change anything or it won't work.
