How To: Copy Your PalmOS Treo or Centro Apps into Classic on the webOS

4 O) _9 P8 D6 ], WWe've just confirmed that installing your PalmOS data is just as easy as installing PalmOS apps inside Classic.  With apps, you drag the PRC files into the "Classic" directory on your Pre.  With data, you do the exact same thing with your relevant PDB files.
- T( p9 U5 Y3 f5 i...All of which may sound a bit like gibberish to many current Palm users.  So we're going to break it down for you here.  Read on for the step-by-step instructions for how to move your PalmOS apps and data over to the Pre.  Go ahead and bookmark this page -- when the Pre finally gets released, you just may want to come back to it.
We're going to take this step by step to ensure that you'll get everything you want from your PalmOS device and nothing you don't -- if you're a PalmOS user, skipping the first two steps will work but you're likely to have to wade through years of extra backup files.

• Find your HotSync Backup Directory.
  • On a Mac, it will be inside ~/Documents/Palm/Users/HOTSYNCNAME/Backups .
  • On a PC, you'll find it in C:\Program files\Palm\HOTSYNCNAME\Backup .  Note that depending on how long ago you installed hotsync, the "Palm" directory on your PC might be called "PalmOne" or "Handspring" or even "Sony Handheld."
• RENAME that Backups directory to something else, like "Backup 4-9-09"
• Connect your PalmOS device and make sure that you have the Backup Conduit turned on. This works slightly differently on different versions of the HotSync software, but chances are you have it turned on.  You can check your conduits settings on the desktop inside the Hotsync app.
• Hotsync your PalmOS device.
• If you head back to the directory we found in Step 1, you'll see that there is a new Backup directory that was created during your Hotsync.  Huzzah! Inside this new Backup directory you will find all the apps and databases you want to move to your Pre.
• Plug in your Pre and open the "Classic" directory.  This is where your files go.
• Copy any programs you want on your Pre from your new Backup directory into the Classic directory.  Your programs will end in .prc.  Many programs also keep a database of their relevant info in .pdb files, they are almost always named so you can tell which apps they belong to, but there might be some trial and error in this step.
• The important thing to remember is DO NOT just copy the entire Backup directory into the Classic directory.  There are a lot of files in this directory that are specifically designed to only work with your specific Treo or Centro (or TX).  Unfortunately some of the core pdb file names are slightly different from device to device, so again, you're looking at some trial and error here.  Here are a few from an AT&T Centro:
  • ContactsDB-PAdd.pdb - your addressbook
  • CalendarDB-PDat.pdb - your datebook
  • MemosDB-PMem.pdb - your memos
  • TasksDB-PTod.pdb - your tasks
  ...Of course, there will be plenty more depending on which 3rd party PalmOS apps you have.
• ...and that's it.  Unplug your Pre, launch Classic, and go to town!

A final note: as we've mentioned many times here, apps inside Classic cannot interact with apps on the Pre/webOS, so you won't be able to sync up your PalmOS contacts with your Pre's contacts.  Stay tuned for another How To explaining how to get your PIM data into the cloud so you can sync it all down to your Pre.

　　指导：在webOS Classic软件中使用PalmOS的Treo应用程序

' X1 F3 H+ F) L# O" N. w/ y　　我们刚刚确认了一下，在webOS机型上可以很方便的安装使用以前的PalmOS应用程序和数据，只要把程序和数据安装到Classic软件中。这个安装过程也很简单，只要把prc程序文件和pdb数据文件拖到Pre的Classic运行目录中就可以了。

7 U% Y* g' ]2 l' g, t. h　　后面那些内容是对不熟悉PalmOS的人解释的，就不翻译了。只有一点要注意，不要把手机上的整个备份都复制到Classic里面，只选择自己需要的软件和数据就行了。比如，ContactsDB-PAdd.pdb 是联系人资料，CalendarDB-PDat.pdb 是日程数据，MemosDB-PMem.pdb 是记事本数据，等等。其他第三方软件也是一样的。

　　另外，我们在Classic运行老的PalmOS程序，是不能和新系统共享数据的，只能在这个“模拟器”中运行。所以这里面的PIM数据也不会同步到Pre中去。webOS和PC同步数据的具体方法，等等看以后的相关说明吧。

如果是这样，对于我们倒是一个好消息。

就算不能共享也比没有强~~

不错,不用收购一大堆treo备用了,呵呵

kronos

不能共享数据对大的应用软件会有一些影响，其他估计不会有什么问题

北冥有鱼

问题还是那句话 怎么样同步

wilson76

好消息，最少在开始的时候有一些软件可以用用

关键是闹钟之类的软件在模拟器里运行不知道能用不?
