    Default Precentral/Prebrew Homebrew Apps

    I can't get any of the precentral methods to install homebrew apps to work since downloading the new webOS update, does anyone know another method to install .ipk on the phone?

    What's wrong with the methods you've tried?

    I'm using Preware and FileCoaster.. Does your phone connect to the PC and just not being recognized by quick install? So far Preware and Filecoaster still work good

    Yes, my pc recognizes my phone fine, it's just QuickInstall not working

    I can't use PreWare or FileCoaster if I don't have a way to get those onto my phone, you'd think there'd be a way to install through command prompt, the old fashioned way

    about 1/2 the 50 plus pages of the precentral WOSQI thread say that its not compatible with the new update and the maker does not recommend putting anything back on until its updated, even though some things still work

    I finally found that last night, excuse me for having to search through so many pages to find that information. The update came out yesterday, I apologize for finding out on the same day that QI wasn't compatible through constant searching of 75+ pages.

    Yeah. I actually had to use a earlier version of WOSQI (2.3). 2.5x doesn't work yet. But i'm so use to having tweaks that I couldn't wait for he update.
