Palm Pre Faq: (Work in Progress)

[sketch42]

Whats WebOS and Whats so Special About it?
The Palm Pre. It's not just a phone it's an idea wrapped in innovation and progress that is the web. Through this new device 5 years in the making we would actually see a spark of hope, actually two sparks, in fact, from the failing company that WAS Palm, in the vision that was called the Pre and webOS.

The Pre and WebOS, as well as future WebOS Devices, bring with it a new element of getting things done Mobiley.Yes, this is epic stuff.

One is the hardware, obviously. The other is the operating system which will be Palm's platform for mobile devices for the foreseeable future: WebOS.

Some of the ideas behind webOS -- a Linux-based platform which leverages web standards for development -- are revolutionary for smartphones.


So whats so good about WebOS, you ask. Well first thing is the beautiful User interface that palm has implemented in the form of "Cards". Cards allow the user, in essence to multi-task by quick opening an application and instead of wasting time waiting for the application to load, you can simply "push" the card out of the way so you can open another application. This uses similiar technology that google uses in its chrome web browser. Essentially The WebOS operating system is one big web browser. looking at it from that perspective,the cards are similiar to the Tabs found in all current web browsers. The reason i point out google chrome is firstly its based on the same technology, they both use the webkit standard, but thats a more legnthy article and 2 for each tab you open in google chrome a new process is created, so each tab is its own program so to speak. This is exactly how webos works. so you can multiple cards working and running LIVE in the background. This allows for true Multi tasking capabilities.

Another great advancement is the Use of "Universal Search".
The phone will allow you to search MOST any part of the phone, no matter where you are. so if youre in one of the many facebook apps , slide the card out of the way and seach for a contact, lookup something in wikipedia etc.... without the need to actually be in your contacts app, or be on the wiki site.

Another great this is Synergy.
Synergy, a contact / calendar management system that aims to put an end to the confusion of having to juggle multiple accounts from multiple services on a single mobile device.

The Synergy premise is simple: it will take your Gmail account, Facebook profile, AIM identity, and / or Exchange data and merge it all together on your Pre, killing duplicate entries, joining together sources where there's overlap (creating "linked contacts"), and generally making your connected life super-duper awesome.

Yet another score is the Notification system.
Instead of Annoying pop-ups, Palm has opted for small wedges that appear at the bottom of your display (like the windows taskbar on autohide) when a mesaage/email/alarm/text or what have you comes in the appropriate icon (sometimes accompanied by a little chime) will reveal the small taskbar at the bottom portion of your screen. Not only is it unobtrusive but is really elegant. As these build, your screen scales to fit in the space allotted which is an elegant solution to people who get many emails, texts or what have you. Because Not only do the messages collapse into a single, manageable line until you're ready to deal with them, but you can swipe away alerts once you've read them.

there are many more features that make webOS unbelievable, and now with it coming to verizon later this month (I prefer sprint) theres no reason not to have a look.

Oh as a side note the Pre will be the mobile device to be able to view embedded flash content (coming later this month)

How do i Transfer my conacts to my phone? (I came from a blackberry, iphone, treo 755 etc....)
Well since The Palm® Synergy™ feature brings together your various online accounts for Calendar, Contacts, IM and more into one logical view on your phone. For example, if you have info about one person in many different places, your phone shows them in a single entry for that person. All of your info remains in its original location online. You'll need to move your existing info to one of the online services supported by Palm Synergy.

Where is your existing data? Export your existing information from ...

Corporate/Server-based
Microsoft Outlook/Exchange (EAS)

Windows
Palm Desktop
Standalone Outlook

Mac
iCal and Address Book
Palm Desktop

Other
Outlook Express and more

Online
Google Calendar & Contacts
Facebook
Yahoo!
Hotmail

On your phone, open the "Contacts" Application.

Open the application menu (swipe down on the top left corner of the screen) and tap Preferences & Accounts.

Tap Add Another Account or Add an Account.


Enter your username and password for that account.
This is the same username and password you use to login to this email account on the web, such as:
Yahoo! Mail: yourname@yahoo.com
Gmail: yourname@gmail.com
Microsoft Exchange or Outlook: Firstname Lastname
NOTE Sometimes your username is not your first name and last name. Contact your IT department for more info.
Other email: yourname@emailprovider.com (or just yourname)
NOTE Contact your account provider if you're not sure.

Ok, I transfered my contacts, now how do i back them up?
Have you not been paying attention??? With Synergy its already done!

Are my Backups "Safe"?
Well with Synergy, your contacts are in whats now called "The Cloud" which means its stored and encrypted on Palms servers. However The Cloud can be kinda scary just look what happened to sidekick owners. While The sidekick, however, just stores your contacts on the cloud, and NOT on the phone. so whenever you needed a contact the phone would contact sidekicks servers and pull the info from there. If it was Not to found than you have BIG problems.
The Pre/Pixi and WebOS, However, only sync info to the cloud. once the Syncing is complete, even once, the data is stored on your phone, and will continue to sync with the cloud only when needed. (ie you add a contact to your phone.)

Regardless all this becomes problematic if you use the Default Palm account. If you store your contacts in Google or yahoo or facebook. than you dont even have to worry about that.

What can i do to ensure i dont lose my inormation?
Well You can do one of two things.
One is by using Gmail to store your Contacts and Google Calendar for your calendar. Which was covered above.
Two - which a much more legnthy process. You can Backup your PalmDatabase.db3 file
How to Backup Your PalmDatabase.db3 File Click HERE in there is where alot of your information is stored.

What Information is backed up aside from contacts?
Contacts, Memos, Bookmarks, Web History, Browser Cookies and Applications from the App Catalog

How do i backup my SMS/MMS Messages?
As Stated Earlier, Alot of your information is in that PalmDatabase.db3 file. Text/MMS Messages are there.

How do i get apps on my phone?
Simple enough. Theres 4 methods.
One is via the Official Palm App Catalog which is a seperat app on your phone
Two is Appscoop

Three is WebOs Quick Install
Four is Preware

Both WebOs Quick Install (to be reffered to as WOQI from now on in this post) and preware allow you to install Homebrew Applications.

Wait!! Home...What???? Whats Homebrew???
Homebrew Apps are free applications in the last stage of development ("beta testing"). Try them out and give your feedback. Hundreds of free titles cover battery life, podcasts, ebooks, GoogleVoice, comics, the Bible, plus dozens of games and utilities.

The usual warnings apply. These apps are not from Palm, and are under development - use with care.

How Do i Get Homebrew Apps on my phone?
As stated before. Using WOQI or Preware. There are other apps that do the job as webb these 2 are just the most robust, If you will.

Where Can i find WebOs Quick Install?
See the Next Post Entitled Installing WOQI.

Where can i find preware?
Now this is an interesting question, since currently there are only 2 ways i know of to install preware.
One is to have a basic understanding of linux command lines.
Two - is to use WOQI.

Getting preware installed via WOQI will be covered in the next post. I will not cover how to install via command line as that is beyond the scope of this FAQ. to learn more about linux command lines and webos see this link. WebOs Internals - Basic Linux Use
Learn More about Preware

Can i Backup my apps?
Well this is another interesting Question. Palm currently, as stated earlier, Backs up all your Applications that have been downloaded from the App Catalog ONLY. It does NOT However backup any of your Homebrew Applications.

Can i Backup my HOMEBREW apps?
Plainly Put Palm will tell you no. But theres GOOD News. Because ill tell you yes!!!
How to Backup Homebrew Apps Click HERE

There are some functions that i miss from my old phone that the pre/pixi cant seem to do, is there a way to put them on?
The great thing about WebOs is that its completely adaptable. So yes SOME of those missing features can be added by way of Patches.
Patches add missing features to the Messaging, Email, Calendar, Phone, Browser, and other apps. by way of Modifying existing files within the core of WebOS. So as always Use caution when installing Patches. Users have developed patches to add or change features in webOS Messaging, Email, Calendar, Phone, Browser, Launcher and other applications.

So How do you get these patches on your phone?? Either Preware or WOQI of Course.
(for a list of current patches see this post CLICK ME. i dont believe i will be updating it to often but this is just to show you what is currently available.)

I Seriously Screwed up my phone with one of YOUR Patchamathingies that YOU told me to install, Now its DEAD!! so what do i do now?
First of all no need to get snippy, You are responsible for what you decide to install on your device.
Now That thats out of the way, all is not Lost for palm has created a tool that can restore your phone to its factory original state, and since like was discussed previously, all of your info is Synergized, cloudified or whatever you like to call it. all your info Should be safe.

I will not try and repost what is already available .. so heres a link to The Doctor that can Help cure your phone. WebOS Doctor - and Recovering your "Bricked Phone"

you can also do a search on the forums if this did not solve your issue. however to date i havent heard of a completely unrecoverable Pre.

I Just read that an UPDATE came out and i have all of your Patchamathingies and themes, its ok to update right?
In a word ABSOLUTELY NOT (ok 2 words but still..)
Before downloading and installing and PALM UPDATE , you MUST REMOVE any and ALL PATCHES and THEMES. IF you ignore this post you will find yourself back in the forums asking why is my phone all screwed up and doing weird things like beating my dog and such..

I see you Started Talking about themes , where are they?
Themes Can be installed via preware or WOQI (if youre installing themes using WOQI you need to download the Theme files from HERE or HERE

So How many themes can i install at once, i had a blackberry and had like 40 themes installed at the same time, I can do that right?
As stated before In a word ABSOLUTELY NOT (ok 2 words..)
You can only have one theme installed on your phone at a time. trying to install another will just cause your phone to look very strange and sometimes act very funny. As some themes install Patches at the same time to get the effects they desire.

IF you ignore this post you will find yourself back in the forums asking why is my phone all screwed up and doing weird things.... Like .... Calling my Ex-Wife and telling her "yes Ill gladly give you the rest of whats in my bank account"

My Screen Cracked and it Wont Let me to go in USB MODE What Can i do?
Well Good NEWS as of WebOS 1.3.1 and on (You should not be on anything less at the moment no matter where you live in the world) There is a shortcut for just this problem
Palm WebOS 1.3.1 Chnagelog

You can access USB Drive mode by pressing and holding the orange key/Option + Sym + U after connecting the phone to the computer. This enables you to access USB drive mode if the screen is broken or stops responding to taps.

Backing up Your PalmDatabase.db3 File

Your palm profile contains your memos , SMS/MMS conversations, Contacts and Calendars in your palm profile, Your User created accnt Email addresses that have your Other contacts/calendars or IM accnts such as Google calendar or Gmail Contacts and your email accounts.

Read Below how to safely have a Backup of all that. Please Note that when you backup this info you should only restore it to a phone that is the same vers. as the previous phone. also i have found that it is best to do a FULL Erase and than a WebOS Doctor for this to work best. (to ensure no patches themes exist anywhere on your phone.) As such Backup all the contents of your USB drive , Sans the Hidden Folders (meaning Do Not back up any folder with a period inf front of its name like .palm)

While we have no evidence to suggest that the failure of Palm Profiles to successfully sync contacts to newly activated webOS devices is a widespread phenomena , it is widespread enough to be a cause of concern. These recent developments, compounded with the Danger fiasco last month, should serve to reinforce the importance of data redundancy, even in the days of "cloud computing." To echo Dieter's sentiments on the issue:

Our advice: your key data should always be in a minimum of three places:

1. Your Pre (where it's persistent as long as you don't erase anything)
   
2. A cloud service (Palm, Google, Exchange, etc)
   
3. Someplace 'else.' For most of us that will be your desktop, where hopefully you're pulling down your data from Google or Exchange. If you're using Palm's profile exclusively, we suggest you take a look at one of the several desktop sync apps that are available now.

Aside from using third party programs like Mark/Space's The Missing Sync or Chapura's PocketMirror, there really isn't an easy to take the contact information stored in the Palm Profile and export it for use in other services, such as gmail or Yahoo. There is a utility in the works by DrewPre that's intended to fill this void, as first reported by Derek earlier this week, but it has yet to be released to the public as of this writing.

Those who want to back up their data without parting with money are still in luck, however: utilizing the tools and resources already made available to us by members of the webOS community, it is possible to back up the contents of your Palm Profile, and even export the contacts contained therein to the cloud service of your choice.

Here's how.

Step 1: install and configure webOS Quick Install
Follow the directions here for installing and configuring Jason Robitaille's webOS Quick Install, and what steps are needed to get your webOS device ready for the procedure.

Step 2: Extract PalmDatabase.db3
Per the webos-internals wiki, everything in your Palm Profile is kept in an sqlite database located in /var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3.

If that sentence doesn't make much sense to you, that's okay.

To extract the database file, connect your webOS device to your computer, selecting "just charge". Start webOS Quick Install and navigate your way to Tools > Receive file, where you'll enter "/var/luna/data/dbdata/PalmDatabase.db3". Select where you'd like the program to save the file, and click "Get From Device!".


Step 3: Archive, Export, or Transplant
Archive: If you're not interested in transferring the contacts contained in PalmDatabase.db3, performing a weekly backup as a "just in case" is never a bad idea.

Export: If you are interested in exporting your contents to a cloud service, xybyre has created a program, which can be downloaded from here via a donation of $5, that will extract the contents from the database file into a CSV file that can be exported into gmail, outlook and the like.


Transplant: In the way that we were able to copy a file from a webOS device, it is also possible to copy a file to a webOS device.


(IMPORTANT NOTE: Send the file back to the phone with the same software vers as the previous and send it to this location "/var/luna/data/dbdata/"

So long as the OS version of the device the data is taken from matches that of the receiving device, you should be able to transplant PalmDatabase.db3 without any ill effect. Just transfer the file over, restart the phone, and you should be good to go.

Further resources
As always, the forums are an excellent resource if you have any questions regarding this process at all. Many, if not all, of the developers behind the programs and resources used for this quick how to maintain a regular presence there. Go ahead, give 'em your thanks, and if you really dig their work, a donation.

How To Back Up Homebrew Apps
Ok so now the Good stuff.

This will show you how to backup your homebrew apps as well as app catalog apps via one of several different methods.


Now as a side note... No matter which method you choose know that some files are extremely large and will take time to copy over. Be patient and wait about a minute and a half, and try not to let your phone goto sleep mode in between.

Step 1: Proper Tools for the Job
Yes like any Job You need the proper tools, so if you havent done so yet go start downloading and installing your WOQI and Preware.

Step 2: Grabbing dem files!!!
You may get to these files one of a few ways ... i will discuss here 2 ways. Starting with My Favorite.

Preware and Internalz

1. Fire up Preware and when all the feeds have finished loading tap on "List of Everything"
2. Start typing in preware (this will initiate a universal search in preware) Internalz
3. click on it and click install
4. Internalz is dependant on another file as well in order to work and guess where it is... thats right Preware.
5. So lets do another Universal search by swiping back and deleting the contents of the search field
6. now do a search for Service
7. A bunch of diff files shoul come up , the one we want is FileMngr Service click that and install
8. After it installs your phone will lose signal its ok its doing a java restart
9. Now leave Preware and fire up Internalz
10. navigate to the directory /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/
11. tap and hold the folder you want to backup
12. now let go
13. click copy
14. select /media/internal/ as the destination

And Done!!

Terminal: My Next Favorite

1. Fire up Preware and when all the feeds have finished loading tap on "List of Everything"
2. Start typing in preware (this will initiate a universal search in preware) Terminal
3. click on "Terminal" NOT "Terminal Service" and click install
4. Terminal is dependant on another file as well in order to work Preware should install it on its own but if not.
5. do another Universal search by swiping back and deleting the contents of the search field
6. now do a search for Terminal
7. A bunch of diff files shoul come up , the one we want is Terminal Service click that and install
8. After it installs your phone will lose signal its ok its doing a java restart
9. Now leave Preware and fire up Terminal
10. Dont be scared of the Black screen
11. Start Typing
12. cd / (press enter)
13. rootfs_open -w (press enter)
14. cd /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/ (press enter)
15. cp -rf com.appyouwant.tobackup /media/internal/ (press enter)
