Save Restore ZIP CreationThe WebOS Internals' homebrew app

link hidden, please login to view
is great to backup your important application data in case you ever need to webOS Doctor you device, swap it out with a new device, or even transfer data between a phone and TouchPad. When Save/Restore runs, it created individual folders and files for each app it backs up and stores them in the /saverestore folder on the USB drive. However, there are two drawbacks to this type of backup. First, there is no easy way to quickly backup all those files in the cloud using a service like dropbox or box.net. And second it only saves the most recent backups so if you needed to go back more than just a day or two in backups, you can't. One way to combat this is to create a single archive of the entire /saverestore with all its subforlders. 

While you can now use an app like Archive Manager to ZIP up those files, there is also a little easter egg within Save/Restore that will allow you to do just that, which will then make it easy to upload a single file to a cloud storage service. All you need to do is copy the "ZIP creation" script to the Save/Restore script repository and then run the script whenever you want to create the backup archive. The easiest way to accomplish this is to use Internalz Pro, by Jason Robatille, which is available in both Preware or webOS Quick Install. 

  1. Open Internalz Pro
  2. Navigate to /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/applications/org.webosinternals.saverestore/contrib 
  3. Tap on the "org.webosinternals.saverestore" script and select "Copy". Find "/var/svc/org.webosinternals.saverestore", highlight it and then choose "Select" to copy it.
  4. Now, you can open up the Save/Restore app, wait for the data to load and choose "Save Application Data". Scroll all the way to the bottom and you will find "ZZZ Save Restore Zip Creation". It has the "ZZZ" in the name so this will be the very last script that is run if you "save all"

Once you run that script, a file called saverestore-99999999.zip will be created in your root USB directory (/media/internal/), with the 99999999 being replaced by the current date and timestamp.  Depending on the size of your archive and what apps you have installed, this file can get rather large, so be aware of how many of these files are on our device and clean them up if you no longer need them

Unfortunately, this zip creations script will not run automatically if you have . Luckily there is a work-around for this, but you will need to wait for our next Tip of the Day for those instructions

      New LG TV won't play anything except for 7 channels (invalid service warning)
      By picklesandbeans92
      I  have just bought an LG TV (model LG 43UQ7500). I have tuned it via antenna, but the TV has a problem playing everything (it says "invalid service") except for 7 channels, which are public broadcast (but that shouldn't make difference - they are all DTV). The only thing that does help is turning off the TV, waiting for a few minutes and then turning it back on. Once I turn it off and then on, it stops working - except for the 7 channels. So it's a neverending process of turning it off and on to actually be able to watch the TV. 
      Does anybody know what could be causing this? The TV has been updated, I have set it up for my location (Czech Republic), I've tried factory reset....
      Thank you for your suggestions!

      lg TV quick settings; edit and add new item to quick settings
      By pattox
      It is easy to add a new item to the quick settings side menu on an lg c2, as long as the item you want is shown on the list presented when you choose  the + add item.  If you want to add a "shortcut" to an item that is not on the list then how can that be done.  Is it possible to edit the list presented?
      Specifically I want to add a shortcut to "subtitles on" which is buried deep in accessibility settings,  there nothing on the list of options presented to allow this.

      LG’s New Diagnostic Monitor With IPS Black Delivers Reliable Image Quality
      By News Reporter
      The Company’s First Diagnostic Monitor With IPS Black Technology,
      Features an 8-Megapixel Resolution and a 2,000:1 Contrast Ratio

      SEOUL, May 30, 2023 — LG Electronics (LG) has launched its 31.5-inch IPS Black diagnostic monitor (model 32HQ713D). The company’s first medical monitor to employ IPS Black technology, the new model provides sharp, clear images with vibrant colors and a 2,000:1 contrast ratio. LG’s new diagnostic monitor delivers consistent image quality via automatic self-calibration and ease-of-use with 6 convenient hotkeys.
      Thanks to an 8-megapixel resolution (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), LG’s IPS Black diagnostic monitor offers the level of clarity needed for medical imaging, including x-rays, mammograms and CT scans. With Multi-Resolution Mode (8, 6 and 4MP), users can adjust screen resolution to suit the type of image being viewed.
      Equipped with IPS Black technology, the 32HQ713D provides clear image definition with deep blacks and detailed expression in the low gray tones. LG’s diagnostic monitor also features a built-in front calibration sensor that enables automatic self-calibration to help keep image quality stable.
      Additionally, the 32HQ713D comes with Focus View Mode and Pathology Mode. Controllable with either mouse or keyboard, Focus View Mode makes it possible to select a specific part of an image to review – dimming the rest of the screen to help highlight the area of concern. Pathology Mode provides image clarity and accuracy as if looking at a microscope.
      LG’s new diagnostic monitor offers a convenient user experience with 6 hotkeys that make it quick and simple to adjust various settings, including mode, screen resolution and lighting. For convenient management, the Presence Sensor automatically turns the display off after 5 minutes if no motion has been detected. The monitor also comes with a one-click stand that simplifies the installation process and offers ergonomic comfort with adjustable tilt, height and swivel.
      “LG’s new diagnostic monitor offers the high contrast needed for displaying clear medical imaging,” said Silas Choi, vice president and head of the B2B solution business division of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “Leveraging our outstanding display technology, we will continue to provide medical monitors that meet the specific needs of medical professionals.”

      WebOS Defaults to Apps Screen after Latest Update
      By desart1566
      I noticed since the last update of WebOS, it defaults to a screen with apps along the bottom rather than HDMI1 as before on startup.  Even after going into the input settings and selecting HDMI1, it stills defaults to the other screen on startup.  When selecting HDMI1 on the inputs screen, it has a red dot in the corner, which I would assumes means that's the selected default.  But again, this seems to be ignored this on startup.
      Thanks.

      By Miroslav Tuhársky
      Hello, I have LG OLED CX and recently the Youtube app has incorrect geographic data- CH. I am from Slovakia, the TV has never been to Switzerland. Nor physically, nor virtually (VPN). I am getting CH ads, which I dont mind so much, but I am afraid of possible in app geo restrictions.
      I already tried everything, even resetting the TV to default.  No other TV app is affected.
