First usable Homebrew App install on Palm Pre without root access: Pimp My Sounds (Notification Sounds Changer)

Video: Installing and Testing 'Pimp My Sounds' app.

There's no limit in what devs can accomplish these days... Or maybe it was Palm's openness to hackers? Either way, the Dev Team behind PimpMyPre has released a homebrew app that you can install on your Pre-cious right now without hacking/rooting. That's not the end of it, the app let's you customize your...wait for it...Notification sounds! Now you can drop that boring notification sound to something you prefer.

This will be the first of many, many homebrew apps to come.

How to get the App:

1) Click here to send yourself an email with the link OR Email yourself with this link: http://pimpmypre.com/pmptemp/com.pmp.app.pimpmypresounds.ipk (The app will only install if you open it via the Mail App on the Palm Pre)

2) Open the link from your Palm Pre via the Email App.Your Pre will freeze for a few seconds.

3) You can now find the 'Pimp My Sounds' app on the first page of Apps on your Pre.
