There are 38 games that use preenv that work on the N900, not a bad amount tbh

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

80 + games are running on the n900
amd if webos apps could run itll be much better

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

80+ games are currently working
and if webos apps could run on the n900 itll be even better

it needs an emulator like preenv.

i dont understand this but from that what ive heard.
all webos apps or most of them run via browser.( the browser shows the application or opens it)
thats why its called webos?
am i right?

So Google called their OS Android because tiny robots work inside the system and they can mimic humans? :D

Its just a silly name which replaced PalmOS. WebOS is based on Linux kernel and runs apps just like any other OS

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

Does it mean the web browser doesnt open the apps in webos?

Yup :) In fact if WebOS was popular I'm pretty sure most apps from N900 would run on it.

If only Nokia bought Palm , it would have been so much better

You will need to build this library, make a ext3 partition, put 1.4.5 on it, put a copy of libx11fb.so in / inside that partition; outside the chroot, run x11fbd -w 320 -h 480, inside the chroot, run the following script:

Code:

export LD_PRELOAD=/libx11fb.so



rm -f /var/run/dbus/pid

dbus-daemon --system --fork

dbus-daemon --session --fork



sleep 1



hidd &

java-serviceboot start &

luna-prefs-service &

BrowserServer &

PmNetConfigManager &

nappmgr &

fileindexer &

extractfs -f /var/luna/data/extractfs &



sleep 3



LunaSysService &

LunaSysMgr &

Boot takes around 80 seconds.

Note that I did this in virtually four days and nearly a year ago. I did it because after that webos on HTC fake news story from XDADevs I wanted to have something to be able to laugh in their faces, but after demoing it on Dublin Meego summit and running it for a while I mostly forgot about the entire thing (and actually never did the laugh in their faces part :P ;) ).

Maybe on the N950 with MT and faster graphics it has more sense.

Hi javispedro,
can you make a more detail description on how to do the
chroot.
I get many errors on starting the webos processes
(like "can not bind to socket")
And are all files within the webos doctor file?
The /var/luna/data/extractfs for example does not exists
in my webos.tar

Maybe now with webOS going open source, we will have interesting staff for porting webOS to n900 ?

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

i copied x11fbd to /home and chmod 755 it. But when I try to execute it it gives syntax error at line 1 - "(" unexpected. The same executable runs fine in ubuntu.

EDIT: Maybe it's not compiled for Arm but for x86 ...

Suggestion: would it be possible to port App Catalog to preenv?

it could be that /bin/sh is dash or ash and not true sh?

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

Does anybody know a way to run hybrid apps (type = "web", the ones with index.html) via preenv?
If we managed to run hybrid apps, we'd be able to port app catalog and then lots of apps

You can't. preenv just adds libraries and environment variables so the N900 can run binaries written for WebOS under their Native Development Kit (NDK).

This only works because the WebOS devices and the N900 share almost identical hardware and both use a POSIX compliant file system for binary execution.

In short: dumb luck.

What you call "Hybrid apps", are actually WebOS Mojo apps written under the WebOS Software Development Kit (SDK). Apps written under this are heavily dependant on WebOS only libraries and operating system structure that can not be replicated from within Maemo5.

So far, it seems that the newer Enyo built WebOS apps, seen on the HP Touchpad and Pre3, are built fundamentally similar to the older Mojo apps and are therefore also impracticable for running under Maemo5.

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

Hmmmm... There are images of webos. I could try copying, symlinking etc.

But I don't know what will be needed.
I tried all the stuff in /usr/palm (/usr/palm -> /home/user/palm/usr/palm)
and /usr/lib/luna (/usr/lib/luna -> /home/user/palm/usr/lib/luna)

But microb still doesn't manage to run this.
What more should I copy?

Yeaaah... There are so-called webos doctor images:

I tried to copy the files from Pre Sprint version 1.4.5

Seriously, you'd have to copy 90% of the operating system libraries and binaries as well as manually re-created the WebOS user execution environment and daemons before you could start to run Mojo web apps like this.

Before you start thinking that this is acceptable, remember that you would be overwriting most of your Maemo 5 installation and killing most of your Maemo daemons in the process.

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

Hmmm..... I can just add this what isn't in maemo yet...
I can play a bit ;)

And if I mess something up, I can always reflash

Are there some essential libs that Mojo apps won't run without for sure?
How are run the hybrid apps in WebOS? What's the procedure?

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

Nope. I was trying to do something but I didn't manage to do it.

Getting back 2 the topic:
I installed Palm SDK. The App Catalog wasn't there, but I was able to find its ipk. Here's what the App Catalog logs:

Code:

what's that token?
more important: can we provide the token other way?

we can ssh to the emulator and this way copy the files. So the only problem is the app catalog not running

Re: Palm WebOS on N900

Hmmm... Does anybody know how would I launch a mojo app from command line on Palm (pure command line, such as in N900)?

Update: I modified a bit the index.html, here's what firefox tells

Here are the "fixed" appcatalog.css and index.html.
"fixed" means that firefox doesn't throw errors but this has one downside: the app catalog doesn't seem to launch.

Does anybody know where the problem lies?

App Catalog extracted from ipk (/usr/palm/ipkgs/) from webos doctor 2.2.4 http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/manta...224mantawr.jar
