Installing Enyo Framework on Debian

After deliberating on the tools - Enyo/Eclipse, PhoneGap, NetBean, I have decided to move with Enyo/Eclipse.

After downloading the following, I have installed all of these via GDebi Package Installer
- Oracle VirtualBox 4.0.12 (since no report of issue on this version of VB)
- Oracle Java Runtime Engine 6
- Novacom

Then run palm-emulator at the command-prompt, a new Virtual environment is produced. Now I am a proud owner of a virtual TouchPad.

TouchPad emulator running under VirtualBox 4.0.12 with scale mode set.

Introduction to Enyo Development for webOS

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.

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...

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...
