Setting up the WebOS Internals testing feeds on your webOS 1.3.5+ device:
Using Preware
With Preware versions 0.9.30 and above, users are now able to add custom feeds through Preware without the use of a computer. The following instructions will explain how to add the Webos-Internals Testing feed for all devices:
- Open Preware and wait for it to finish loading.
- Open the App Menu (tap "Preware" in the top left corner of the screen) and tap Manage feeds.
- Scroll to the bottom until you see the New Feed box.
- Type webosinternals-testing in the NAME text box.
- Type or paste the URL http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/all/ in the URL text box
- Make sure the IS COMPRESSED option is set to YES.
- Tap Add Feed and then tap Yes when the alert pops up.
- Scroll to the bottom until you see the New Feed box.
- Type webosinternals-testing-armv7 in the NAME text box.
- Type or paste the URL http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/armv7/ in the URL text box
- Make sure the IS COMPRESSED option is set to YES.
- Tap Add Feed and then tap Yes when the alert pops up.
- Gesture swipe back, open the App Menu, and tap Update Feeds.
Congratulations, you have just added a custom feed! For adding other feeds, be sure to replace the name and URL in these instructions with the proper name and URL.
The following are the testing feed URLs specifically for Pre, Pixi, and Emulator respectively. These are separate from the 'all' testing feed (which contains packages that will run on all devices).
Replace 'armv7' with 'armv6' or 'i686' in the instructions above if you are using a Pixi or the Emulator.
Using a Computer
1. Gain access to the shell, either through novaterm/ssh or via the terminal application available through the regular WebOS Internals Feed
2. Execute the following script:
cd /media/cryptofs/apps/etc/ipkg echo "src/gz webosinternals-testing http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/all" >webos-internals-testing.conf echo "src/gz webosinternals-testing-armv7 http://ipkg.preware.org/feeds/webos-internals/testing/armv7" >>webos-internals-testing.conf
3. Once Preware is launched, selected the Update Feeds menu.
Replace 'armv7' with 'armv6' or 'i686' in the instructions above if you are using a Pixi or the Emulator.
