I waited long enough for the process to be easy. I got Preware running on my Palm Pre this past week and love what I’ve changed on my Pre. I have a blue dialer, so much nicer than the original green, it’s exactly what I’ve wanted and a notice about it online in the past few weeks is what brought me back to look at customizing my Pre.<\/p>\n
Some of the functionality I’ve missed from old Palm’s is “categories”. One nice patch (tweak) is “add\/delete pages” which let you add more launch pages, or delete launch pages. Another patch lets you “name pages” so once both those are installed, wow! I also got a couple more launch things, like “glass” so the launch pages aren’t so blah. I tried “transparent” but that patch made other patches not install, as I figured out by removing everything and trying this and that to find the problem-ed one.<\/p>\n
I also added the “virtual keyboard” It’s pretty nice. On several occasions I’ve reached to slide my phone keyboard out and said, oh forget it, I don’t have to now. It’ll take more practice to get better skill with the virtual keyboard, and I’m willing to go that way.<\/p>\n
Messaging and Email are now landscape mode-able. That’s a major difference that I like using. Also added character count in messaging, and full time stamps on messages. Thank you patches and who created them!<\/p>\n
I added more than that, little thing that functionally make me like the phone more. Header, calendar, etc.<\/p>\n
I really like the Launch Pages though. Named Pages, Add pages … it’s what should have been in the Pre from Day 1, IMO and maybe one day they’ll add it to webOS for real.<\/p>\n
In any case, Preware is a great app and it’s not hard to get it working on the Pre. So very simple, IMVHO. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
