So the catalog is dead. Oh well. Finding random ipks online, whether they be in a shared directory somewhere or from a friend hooking you up can be frustrating. Getting apps for webOS devices is left to the back alley ways of the darkest recesses of private forum messaging and dropbox links. I don’t care how you get them. I won’t judge.
Happy Thanksgiving to our U.S. readers! Have some turkey, fire up your Pre, and be thankful for another year with webOS.
Thanks for reading!

Making Android more like webOS is not an idea without precedent. webOS Nation covered a similar article in 2013 and there are several posts on XDA and webOS Nation about that very thing. Some still work and some don’t.
Mods like webcm10, which offers swipe up card switching, were designed for Cyanogenmod 9 and 10. You can see it in action here. Old themes for Android launchers might still work but there have been a lot of changes to Android since they were released 2+ years ago so YMMV. I’m talking about WebOS GO Launcher EX Theme for GO Launcher, of course.
Wow! Remember #Palm / #HP #WebOS? HP made it #opensource. We have it working on one of our #wireless #routers! It actually pretty good!

You just never know where webOS will show up next do you?
UPDATE: Matt has continued to update his Cert Grabber app and with the latest 0.5.5 release, the app now automates the download, removal of old certs, and installation of the new certs with just a touch of the download button!
Everyone’s favorite “GMail on webOS fixer”, Grabber5.0 (Matt), is at it again. If you’ve been following along, that dumb yellow triangle keeps popping up for GMail users on webOS. There’s a fix for it but it was pretty manual until now.
