LunaCE on Pre3

Introduction
This page is dedicated to running the WOCE version of LunaSysMgr on webOS 2.x devices.

The information here was collated using WOCE on a Pre3, so it may not be accurate if you're using a different device.

The page will be updated to reflect new findings as and when they surface.

What Works
Touch Input

Ringer Switch

Sound

Status Bar

System Menu

What 'Sort Of' Works
Virtual Keyboard

Opens and works w/password unlock

Characters are all garbled

Doesn't hide/show when slider is opened/closed in a text field

Opens and crashes in maximized cards (lock & unlock when maximised to show keyboard button): ** (LunaSysMgr:3437): DEBUG: IME: Window got focus change in sysmgr com.palm.app.clock focused: 1, fieldtype: 0, fieldactions: 0x00 ** Message: void DisplayManager::setTouchpanelMode(bool): Setting hal touchpanel mode to 1 ** (LunaSysMgr:3437): DEBUG: System request to show the IME ** (LunaSysMgr:3437): DEBUG: bool SystemUiController::changeNegativeSpace(int, bool, bool): 423 ** (LunaSysMgr:3441): DEBUG: WindowedWebApp::onKeyboardShown if (window.Mojo && window.Mojo.keyboardShown) {window.Mojo.keyboardShown(true);} ** (LunaSysMgr:3437): DEBUG: Allowing touch-end event through ** (LunaSysMgr:3441): DEBUG: WEBKIT PERF: PAINT appid: \xc0\xc3, time: 892404 LunaSysMgr: symbol lookup error: LunaSysMgr: undefined symbol: _ZN4Palm7WebView24unmapCompositingTexturesEv ** (LunaSysMgr:3437): CRITICAL **: virtual void WebAppMgrProxy::onDisconnected (181): WebAppMgrProxy was Disconnected!! ** (LunaSysMgr:3437): CRITICAL **: virtual void WebAppMgrProxy::onDisconnected (185): Exiting Sysmgr...

Hardware Keyboard

Enter & Backspace work w/password unlock, other keys unresponsive.

Doesn't wake the screen from lock.

Crashes on input in card view/launcher with the following: ** Message: dockStateTransition: transitioned to state 1

Power Button

Screen lock/unlock works

Press-and-hold doesn't function (may be to do with app launching)

Volume Keys

Indicator appears on-screen, changes boot sound volume.

Keyboard clicks & card 'swoosh' sounds unaffected.

UI Layout

Status Bar dimensions are too large.

(The above can be fixed by replacing /etc/palm/luna-platform.conf with LunaSysMgr/conf/luna-mantaray.conf)

Quick Launch icons overflow over the launcher button.

Launcher displays 2 columns instead of 3.

Everything's tiny due to lack of scaling.

Just Type bar is too big for the screen.

Launcher

Flick handling is intermittent, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Somewhat random.

What Doesn't Work
App Launching

Icons glow & cards appear, but solid white with no content.

Cards never reach MaximizeState

Core apps (Phone, Contacts, Mail, etc) don't even get a card.

Voice Dial

Timeout sound plays some seconds after triggering via icon/volume keys.

Otherwise non-functional.

Just Type

When tapped, search bar & quick launch fade out to make way for just type, but it never appears.

Cannot go back from there, as the gesture area doesn't work.

Gesture Area

No response, CoreNavi LED doesn't function.

Logs complain about not being able to find a target for the gesture:

** (LunaSysMgr:8396): WARNING **: QWarning: QGestureManager::deliverEvent: could not find the target for gesture

MinimalUI

First Use Mode?

Hangs at the HP logo while wiping /media/internal/.palm and setting up core apps.

Presumably dependent on First Use app, which doesn't launch currently.

Accellerometer

Screen does not rotate,

LunaSysMgr throws HAL errors relating to it:

webos-device user.err LunaSysMgr: module (halSensorOrientationDefault.module) does not exist webos-device user.err LunaSysMgr: in /lib/hal/modules webos-device user.err LunaSysMgr: nor in /lib/hal/modules.mock webos-device user.crit LunaSysMgr: {LunaSysMgr}: Unable to open Sensor : [virtual hal_error_t HALConnectorBase::openSensor : 103] : [HAL Sensor Type = 2] webos-device user.crit LunaSysMgr: {LunaSysMgr}: Unable to open the requested sensor type : [static HALConnectorBase* HALConnectorBase::getSensor(HALConnectorBase::Sensor, HALConnectorObserver*, bool) : 485] : [SensorType = 2]

Disclaimer
Before continuing, be sure to understand that this version of LunaSysMgr is NOT usable in it's current state. It is here for the purpose of further development, and you will have to doctor your device to get it back to normal functionality.

Also, if you're attempting to install LunaSysMgr CE on a Pre2 or earlier device, note that the Qt4.8 libs are very large and may not fit into your rootfs. In this case, it is recommended to either use either Tailor or the webOS Internals Meta Doctor to increase the partition's size.

Instructions
Transfer the required libraries

Open a Terminal and cd into woce-build/rootfs/armv7/usr/lib/

Compress the libraries into a .tar file for easy transfer (-h to follow symbolic links, otherwise libaffinity.so breaks) tar -chvf lunaLibs.tar libQt* libhal.so libaffinity.so libqpalm.so libpsc.so Copy the files to the device novacom put file:///usr/lib/lunaLibs.tar < lunaLibs.tar Extract them novaterm cd /usr/lib tar -xvf lunaLibs.tar rm lunaLibs.tar Copy libqpalm to the Qt Libraries folder mkdir -p /usr/plugins/platforms cp ./libqpalm.so /usr/plugins/platforms Link the new libraries ldconfig -v Close novaterm exit

Transfer the required HAL modules

Open a Terminal and cd into woce-build/rootfs/armv7/lib/hal/modules

Compress the libraries into a .tar file for easy transfer tar -cvf lunaHAL.tar ./* Copy the files to the device novacom put file:///lib/hal/modules/lunaHAL.tar < lunaHAL.tar Extract them novaterm cd /lib/hal/modules/ tar -xvf lunaHAL.tar rm lunaHAL.tar Close novaterm exit

Transfer the required Luna modules

cd into woce-build/rootfs/armv7/usr/lib/luna

Compress the libraries into a .tar file for easy transfer tar -cvf lunaModules.tar ./* Copy the files to the device novacom put file:///usr/lib/luna/lunaModules.tar < lunaModules.tar Extract them novaterm cd /usr/lib/luna tar -xvf lunaModules.tar rm lunaModules.tar Close novaterm exit

Transfer the required Luna resources

cd into woce-build/rootfs/armv7/usr/palm/sysmgr

Compress the resources into a .tar file for easy transfer tar -cvf lunaRes.tar ./* Copy the files to the device novacom put file:///usr/palm/sysmgr/lunaRes.tar < lunaRes.tar Extract them novaterm cd /usr/palm/sysmgr tar -xvf lunaRes.tar rm lunaRes.tar Close novaterm exit

Prevent LunaSysMgr from crashing on startup

Option A: Clone a git repository

git clone git://github.com/ShiftyAxel/LunaSysMgr.git git checkout lsm-pre3

And to pull down the latest changes

git pull origin lsm-pre3

Option B: Download a patch

Download and apply the following patch to your own LSM sources: cd /path/to/LunaSysMgr curl https://github.com/ericblade/LunaSysMgr/commit/329e500b0ae0d0a2aaede30d7ae9086f66f49034.diff > lsm-pre3.diff patch -p1 < lsm-pre3.diff

Build and Run

Modify woce-build/support/cross-compile.mk, changing MACHINE=topaz to MACHINE=mantaray

Build LunaSysMgr, noting that the output will now be in the release- folder (for instance, Pre3 would be release-mantaray)

Backup your old LunaSysMgr novaterm stop LunaSysMgr mv /usr/bin/LunaSysMgr /usr/bin/LunaSysMgr.old exit Upload the new LunaSysMgr novacom put file:///usr/bin/LunaSysMgr < /path/to/compiled/LunaSysMgr Run the new LunaSysMgr novaterm LunaSysMgr

Getting apps to start
While technically it is possible to get apps to actually start, there's something crashing in the visuals area, so we can only see it actually working from the logs at startup.

To get apps "operating", you'll need the libWebKitLuna.so from 3.0.5. This also requires libSimpleStats.so. BrowserServer also requires libWebKitLuna, and will need a replacement libv8.so to operate for it's "SetLocaleCollator" function, and a new libnapp.so for it's "MallocTrim" function. libnapp.so requires libdlmalloc.so to function, as well.

After getting everything operating, libnapp will crash Luna out with the following backtrace:


 * 1) 0 0x3610422c in NWindow::SetBuffer(int, NWindowBuffer*)  from /usr/lib/libnapp.so
 * 2) 1 0x38d99700 in WSEGL_SwapDrawable(void*, unsigned long)  from /usr/lib/egl/libeglsubdrv.so
 * 3) 2 0x37f0e738 in IMGeglSwapBuffers  from /usr/lib/libIMGegl.so
 * 4) 3 0x36145a7c in QEGLPlatformContext::swapBuffers  from /usr/lib/libqpalm.so
 * 5) 4 0x3614609c in QEglFSWindowSurface::flush(QWidget*, QRegion const&, QPoint const&)  from /usr/lib/libqpalm.so
 * 6) 5 0x367f7280 in QWidgetBackingStore::flush(QWidget*, QWindowSurface*)  from /var/lib/libQt/libQtGui.so.4
 * 7) 6 0x36a43950 in ??  from /var/lib/libQt/libQtGui.so.4

Attempting to copy in new versions of the dependencies for libnapp will result in much earlier crashing:

try copying in new /usr/lib/egl/libeglsubdrv.so ... results:


 * (LunaSysMgr:17141): WARNING **: QWarning: Could not open egl display
 * ERROR **: QFatal: EGL error

crash, very early in startup. copied in libPiranha.*, no change copied /usr/lib/egl/* no change copied /usr/lib/libpvrtc no change copied /usr/lib/libEGL.so no change
