Awesome connection to Pre 2 via FileZilla and ssh

With the power of shh and FileZilla, you can remote into your Pre 2 and you can find this in http://forums.precentral.net/palm-pre-tips-information-resources/250011-ftp-access-your-pre-using-filezilla.html Also, I have extracted part of the steps from http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Accessing_Linux_Using_Novaterm


The only issue is my installed Terminal is not working on my Pre 2, not sure why though.


I will bypass step 1 and 2 from PreCentral. You will need OpenSSH and Terminal/SDLTerminal before proceeding. This is the only step that is different from others. This is a proven method which I have tried previously.



Step 3:
a. Connect the USB cable to Pre 2, then switch on the Developer mode. Select USB Drivemode so that you can see it in "Root Terminal" of Debian.
b. Go into "Applications" - "Accessories" - "Root Terminal" and you will be at your default folder.
c. Type the following while you are in root and you will see all the folders in webOS.
novaterm
d. You will see your Pre 2 mounted folder as "root@your name - Palm Pre:/#".
e. Then go back to the first link (step 3) to continue with the generation of a key for your Pre 2. Alternatively, you can follow the following steps.
cd /
/opt/bin/ssh-keygen
f. Next , press ENTER to accept default filename. When you are prompted, press ENTER twice to enter a blank password.
g. Next, enter the enter the final commands to transfer your keys to your Pre 2 Media Internal folder:
mv /home/root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /home/root/o.ssh/authorized_keys
cp /home/root/.ssh/id_rsa /media/internal/media/internal/id_rsa

Step 4:
a. Go back to the first link and follow step 4 onward. You have the option to copy from /media/internal folder.

Now you will be able to see your Pre 2 in FileZilla.

Introduction to Enyo Development for webOS

Image
Getting started from Mojo to Enyo can be quite disappointing. Looking at the Tutorial from HP , it is pretty hard and despite searching over the internet, I couldn't start it until I have done an experiment myself. Hope this will help someone and please do give your comment or feedback. From the beginning, I have generated a Basic Application called x3 from Eclipse. You can also do this using a plain text editor if you are not using any development tool. This is the file structure of the completed x3 application. You will find the next steps in the next paragraph. Next I have taken the original index.html and replace it with the following code. Note: The folder containing enyo.js must be a folder in your computer and this is an example of the SDK installed on Debian. If you are using Windows or Mac, I am sure you can enter similar information. I have put mine as follow. index.html: Next, I had a look at appinfo.json and added a new row "u...

Installing Skype on Pre 3 (AT&T)

Image
If you have a Pre 3 (AT&T) and wonder how you can add Skype to it, you may be able to get it done. AT&T was never launched, Verizon and the European version will have Skype built-in. I have tried searching for Skype in the App Catalog, unfortunately, I can't get it. Steps: 1. Download the webOS 2.2.0 for Unlocked Pre 3 from webOS Doctor. 2. Extract the content of the jar file. 3. Open the wr.tar file and the Skype app (com.palm.app.skype_1.1-8.3_armv7.ipk) is in there. 4. Set your device as USB device as you will need to copy Skype app into /media/internal/downloads folder. Once copied, eject the device. 5. Put your device into Developer mode. If you are using Debian/Windows, you can go into command-line. Whilst in command-line, type novaterm. Once your device is able to be recognised by your OS (Debian/Windows), you will see something like this: root@palm-webos:/media/internal/downloads# 6. You can then type the following in command-line: ipkg -force-de...
