The official Palm App Catalog isn’t supported in the emulator but luckily the homebrew Preware app is supported.
Here is how to get more apps in your webOS emulator.
Getting Started
First thing you oughta do is implement the webOS emulator from the link below.
Next, download Putty for an SSH client (link below).
Now go to your start menu and run palm-emulator.
Installing Preware
Leave the emulator running and start Putty from wherever you downloaded it to.
bang out in 127.0.0.1 for the hostname and 5522 for the port.
Now you are actually remote with the webOS emulator running in virtualbox.
To install Preware it is three simple commands.
punch in these into your terminal to install Preware.
You should get a confirmation once the installation is complete.
You should find Preware at the bottom of your first launcher page.
Click to launch it and it will automatically update all of the available software.
To install apps click available packages and then program.
To install apps simply find the one you want and tap on it.
The banner will fill in with your search term and then just hit enter to search.
you’re free to also install patches into the emulator.
WebOS patches are tweaks to the underlying code of built in programs or how things are displayed.
set up the patch and then restart Luna when prompted.
Now your launcher menu will have more of a see through glass effect rather than the original look.
you could also install extra testing feeds in Preware by opening the menu and going to manage feeds.
Scroll to the bottom and fill out this information for emulator testing feeds.
Now you’re free to try out even more with your webOS emulator.
