Root Certificates and Hosts

Hosts Files

With the latest updates from the community, there's less need to update the hosts file. However, some restoration efforts and Preware sources require that you trick you webOS device into looking for Palm/HP content from archived servers, rather than trying to reach dead servers. The easiest way to do this is with an App from Preware:

Note: If you are using the webOS Archive Proxy you do not need to modify your local hosts files -- the proxy will resolve these hosts for you.

Launch Preware and wait while it syncs
Use the built-in search feature to search for internalz
Select "Internalz Pro" by Jason Robitaille
Tap the button to install
Once its installed, start "Internalz Pro" from the Launcher on your device
From the Interalz Pro menu at the top left of your screen, choose "Preferences"
At the bottom of the preferences list, find "Master mode" and turn it on
Press "Yes" in the confirmation window, then close Preferences from the menu
In the File Browser, navigate to /etc
Scroll down until you find the file hosts, tap on it, and choose "Open" in the menu that appears
In the text editor that opens, enter the following lines:

23.4.17.24 cdn.downloads.palm.com 140.211.169.161 ipkg.preware.org 23.141.224.193 ipkg.preware.net 23.141.224.193 preware.net

From the Interalz Pro menu in the top left, choose "Save File" then "Close"
