MESSAGING PLUGINS
=================
Sorry for the long post but it helps explain everything. Please read it carefully before installing.

Is a set of plugins which are added to the native Messaging application. (See picture attachment)

SUPPORTED WEBOS
=================
1.2.X and 1.3.1 Only.

AVAILABLE PLUGINS
=================

Jabber
Sametime
Office Communicator

Novell Groupwise
Yahoo (Built-In but using later versions)
Gtalk (Built-In but using later versions)
AIM (Built-In but using later versions)

VERSION INFORMATION
=================

1.2.2 - Fixed Gtalk and hopefully QQ signin

1.2.1 - Supports WebOS 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 (A few more changes in 1.3.1 than i'd expected)
Yahoo support only installed/removed on WebOS 1.2 (Also on 1.3.1 emulator as its missing?!?!)
Hopefully fixed Live not installing. (I completely re-wrote the whole installer)
Will no longer backup files as linux patching handles this nicely (saving space)
Hopefully got the DB update working nicely so all plugins install first time
Chinese QQ Support (Untested)
I have increased the login timeout to 60 seconds. Hopefully this helps people with big contact lists
No longer touches the files that broke some other patches (Should also fix some server logon issues)
IRC can now handle no password
My code now handles errors better (e.g. A corrupt config file)

1.2.0 WebOS 1.3.1 Support (Didnt work )

1.1.0 - Jabber, IRC, Office Communicator, Novell Groupwise and Sametime support
New patching for Palm files (more reliable)
Libpurple is now compiled with the same settings as Palm's libpurple. (Keep alive has been changed, should help battery life)
Fixed Yahoo not being removed on uninstall
3rd party certificates required for authentication (e.g. Company Office Communicator servers) can be copied to "/var/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.messaging/libpurple/certificates/x509/tls_peers directory"
The certificates must be in the same format as Pidgin. (On windows these are found in %appdata%\.purple\certificates\x509\tls_peers after you log in at least once using pidgin)
Facebook no longer installed by default.

1.0.4 - Facebook Support, Icons fixed when searching for accounts, Gtalk and AIM now use my service to login, improved installer.

Please note: There is two versions of "Messaging Plugins". One for WebOS (armv7) and one for the emulator (i686).
Please note: Preware and IPKG Service is required to install this patch.
Please note: WebOS Patch is required to install this patch. (Download link below)
Please note: This program should be uninstalled before performing a WebOS update.
Please note: Installation will take some time. Be patient.
Please note: The installer will restart luna.

Install using WebOS Quick Install (http://forums.precentral.net/homebre...k-install.html)

KNOWN ISSUES (Thanks to freakout and Abyssul)
=============================================
• Can't add to buddy list
• Contacts added to the contacts WebOS application cannot be deleted.

How to login
================
Yahoo: username or email
MSN: email address
Jabber: email (e.g. user@jabber.org)
Sametime: username
Office Communicator: email
ICQ: ICQ number
Facebook: email address
IRC: username@server (e.g. username@irc.freenode.net)

How to use IRC
==============
Its not pretty but it does give us more than we have now. Keep an eye out for wIRC from webos internals. Should be released in the coming weeks/months.

Login to IRC. Hopefully it will connect and you will get an IRC window pop up. This window can be removed.
Click new message/contact button (bottom left hand corner). Enter "/join #CHANNEL NAME" (E.g. /join #webos-internals). Then type anything in the message field and hit enter.

IRC should now connect to the channel in a new window. The /join window can also now be closed.

HOLY HELL!

Just downloaded, getting ready to install. If this works, you're my new hero.

aibrahim · 09/29/2009, 09:36 PM

Can we use any version of WebOS quick install?

Hi aibrahim,

Not sure. I have been using the latest version. Let me know your luck if you use another version.

Thanks,
Greg

I just tried installing with WOSQI 2.6 (I know it's not supposed to work, but I had it handy. It did not work)

I'm going to re-download 2.03 again and take a another run that way.

What I'd really like, would be instructions for doing this from the terminal. I'm much more comfortable with the terminal than anything else. (except maybe preware)

maxima2k53 · 09/29/2009, 09:43 PM

hey greg_roll...will these be updated thru preware or gotta download the ipk again thru here and do it like the 1st time?

aibrahim · 09/29/2009, 09:43 PM

I've tried using QI 2.03, 2.5, 2.53, and 2.6 - all give me the same error message:

Can't wait to get this working!

Hi VeeDubb65,

I've been using 2.5.2 to install it on the emulator. (Im in Aus and don't have a Pre). I'm not sure what my testers have been using.

If you could let me know what errors you got if any?

Thanks,
Greg

maxima2k53 · 09/29/2009, 09:50 PM

Well, that's the tough part. I didn't get any errors at all. I'm using WOSQI 2.6, because it's what I had handy, and it's still using WOSDr 1.1 because I've yet to see a 1.2 version of the file.

From the desktop, it appeared to install without any errors. While installing, the launcher screen on my Pre came up, and then locked until the Pre rebooted itself.

I assumed that the reboot was caused by a postint script, but it doesn't look like it. Once the Pre came back up, there was no change. I went into the messaging app, tried to add a new IM account, and the only options were gtalk and AIM, just like before.

Hi aibrahim,

Thanks for the picture.

My tester did mention this error but he tried again after installing Preware and it worked. I don't know why but if you can maybe try and install Preware, reboot and try again.

Very weird...

Appologies to everyone.

Greg

Hi maxima2k53,

What OS are you on 1.2 or 1.1?

This will not work on 1.1

Greg

NaS · 09/29/2009, 09:56 PM

greg_roll · 09/29/2009, 09:57 PM

If you connect to #webos-internals using IRC or freenode Web IRC (qwebirc) I am there available to chat.

Might be easier...

Greg

aibrahim · 09/29/2009, 10:00 PM
