Update to WebOS Quick Install

**CozBoogie** · #1 (**permalink**) 08-20-2009, 01:22 PM

The good people at PreCentral have an updated to WebOS Quick Install.

Without rooting you can now:

Add/delete launcher pages
5x4 icons on launcher page
Downloading in web browser
Hide NFL/NASCAR applications
PDF Viewer works in landscape
Change boot logo
Change dialer background
Change lockscreen background
Add stylish analog clock theme
Squarify the screen (hide round corners)

This is nice. I would recommend this to anyone who wants tweak their Pre. It makes it so much easier than having to root your Pre and hope you entered everything correctly.

Tell me about it. It took me a couple attempts over the course of 2 days to get my launcher background to be clear.

I know easier tweaks are in the pipeline and pretty soon making system changes will take about 5 seconds of just checking radio buttons.

I made my own transparent 320X480 wallpaper and used WebOs Quick install to send it to "/usr/lib/luna/system/luna-applauncher/images" folder on my Pre...is there an easier way? Is it possible to use windows explorer in Win Vista to manually navigate to that same images folder on the Pre in order to copy and paste wallpapers as needed? I can't seem to be able to access the Pre's folder system. This would be much easier if I could, then a reboot to finalize the changes. Any other suggestions on this?

A much easier way is to use WinSCP. It'll give you file explorer access to your Pre. Then you can just cut and paste items like images, etc.

It's sooooo much easier then using WebOS for deep navigating and replacing files.

Coz this is bomb thanks man! Can't wait to give my pre a facelift tomorrow! If you have any useful/unique facelift stuff, shoot me a pm. Had this pre for 3 days and still learning. So far all I've done is homebrew.

**CozBoogie** · #9 (**permalink**) 08-20-2009, 11:45 PM

Homebrew is just so damn easy now especially if you have FileCoaster on your Pre.

Rooting is pretty easy...but damn there seems to be a lot of variables based on your PC. But once you get it figured out you can do a boat-load of stuff.

Hit me up in pm with specifics or shoot me an email to my hotmail account.

Coz
