Packaging 1st webOS app

Image
This evening, I am trying to package my 2nd round of webOS development as an app. Unfortunately, when I try to follow the step defined by webOS , it didn't work as it says it cannot find the folder! I will have to figure out how to do this in Debian. Perhaps it is different in Debian as compared to Windows and Mac OS. While in terminal (root terminal), type the following command to make a build (.ipk) file. Once this is bundled, you can then install this app onto Pre 2. Usage: palm-package -o output_folder app_folder_which_consists_of_valid_appinfo.json_file Command-line: # palm-package -o /home/peter/workspace/apps /home/peter/workspace/HelloWorld Once the above command is executed, I got my 1st app in webOS. I can then use my earlier step to SFTP the .ipk file to my Pre 2. Then install the .ipk file through Internalz Pro by Jason Robitaille. Mission accomplished.

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

Install PreWare on webOS 2.1 (Palm Pre 2) using Debian

After removing certain apps from my Pre 2, unfortunately, the removal causes instability to my webOS. All the  steps here are taken from those URL highlighted in the steps, therefore all credits go to the creators. This is what you will need to do in Pre 2 before doing anything: a. Goto into Developer Mode by typing "webos20090606", select Developer Mode Enabler. b. When the Developer Mode card is opened, set the switch to "On" and select "Just Charge". In Debian, do the following a. Download webOS Quick Install (WebOSQuickInstall-4.04.jar) from  http://forums.precentral.net/canuck-coding/274461-webos-quick-install-v4-04-a.html   b.
