I have 1.0.3 and downloaded it to my email, but when I click the file my pre says cannot find an application which can open this file

coachgs

This is great. The Pre needs to have this natively!

Kaerey

You need to send the LINK to the address NOT the file as an attachment. Click the LINK from the Pre email application.

I am sure it will, and when it does I'll leave it to the pros and retire this unless there is some other need.

Yea a second after I posted that I figured it out, I am so SMRT

Can the package be installed manually with ipkg? Can I talk you into putting the .ipk out there somewhere I can download it? I too suffer from on-call responsibility and would really like to change the tone to something that's likely to wake me up.

Kaerey

If you are familiar with ipkg, then you could unpack this, open the compressed files inside and get to the application folder and then copy it to the correct location on the device. Check predev.wikidot.com.

Or, better yet, are there configuration files or database records that can be modified to change only the tone/volume associated with text messages?

europa48138

Just saw your reply, I can do that. Where do I find the file? I downloaded from the link, but just got a zero length file.

Kaerey

with just text messages? I don't think so, but if you open the default sounds and alerts program there is a slider for overall volume and ringtone volume.

There was also a thread somewhere in the forums where someone increased the gain on the default sounds.

really...... did you try and download the link from the front page? I dont' think that works. Click the email link and then you can get it from the link that is emailed to you.

Edit, I just tried clicking the link on the first post and it downloaded just fine.

Can you still update this app to the new version you are working on since you said you might be able to finish it tonight and you said you were leaving the link to the app online till Wednesday for those of us who haven't updated to 1.0.4 yet???...sorry if that's asking a lot but I've been waiting since the day the pre was released to have more detailed options for system ringers...I'm really impressed with your work...and thanks for all your contributions

europa48138

OK, that link worked, ended up with webosinternals.kaerey.mynotification.0-0-2.ipk, but can't figure out how to unpack it. I've tried tar tv, tar tvz, both tar and gzip complain about the file. What's the secret to unpacking an ipk file? Sorry for the newbie questions.

Kaerey

I'd prefer not to go into details of it here, but check out pre dev wiki: Welcome to the Pre/webOS Development Wiki you may find some useful bits.

Yes I will still do the best I can and update this with [Rooting Required] for as long as needed.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, I've already upgraded to 1.0.4, as soon as it came out, just couldn't help myself, even though I knew better. I found myself optimistically hoping that they'd implemented the video camera, or allowed for more control of notifications, something new. Oh well, live and learn.

Now that they've plugged the hole, it would be nice to have a way control things manually, via command line. Of course, this would require "rooting" your phone, but at least this way we'll start to learn our way around the internals of the phone.

europa48138

Oh wow, awesome link!

Thanks!

Awesome app, I had Ringo Pro on my Treo 755p and was highly dissapointed in the simple "Ding" for sms. I had custom sms ringers for seperate people such as Sonic the Hedgehog Title screen, A Cowabunga, and a quick intro to the Price is right. I'm looking forward to when this gets put in the app store with these extra modifications.

Kaerey

It may never get into the app store, I can only hope though. But even more ideal, Palm would just make this native. Until that time I'll do my best to provide what people want to the best of my ability.
