Does any one know where I can get the software to switch views on the xda2 screen between portrait & landscape formats ? When I am trying to view spread sheets it becomes extreemly frustraiting having to scroll accross every time I want to view things !!! :x
hey mate,
when i was still using my xda1 i tried out 2 kinds of software; ny-something (forgot the name) and another one called jslandscape. the ny works better but i never got the correct settins to make the appearance right (based on resolution). and the worse part is to uninstall the sucker you have to do a hard reset. now that i'm using an xda2 i haven't heard of anyone successfully using either of the 2 softwares i mentioned; a friend of mine had to do a hardreset after trying it out on his unit. my 2 cents worth is that be VERY careful when you decide to try out orientation software; make sure you back up your data well.
cheers

Have a look at http://www.nyditot.com/
I never testesed it but it seems very good (pocketpc award 2003)

I use nyditot quite a lot, at 480x360 landscape for terminal services and web browsing, and it works perfectly. Note that there were issues with PC2003 until recently, so make sure you get the latest version.
I beleive you can uninstall it without a hard reset. However, you need to do a soft reset between screen changes which can be a bit irritating.
Also, the SIP is scaled too, so can be a bit fiddly to use at finer resolutions, although I rather like it tiny.
I just wish PPC devices would start to use, and properly support, the new 640x480 screens that are becoming standard on Palm5 devices.
I also use the nyditot software. I first started using it when I had an iPAQ but since it works with WM2003 is was able to migrate to my XDA II
Can someone help me out and tell me the file that will initiate a soft reset in WM5? I'm using a launching program that will allow me to access any file and setup custom launch parameters.
I use the application pocketplus from spb, this works just fine.
VJEschaton will do it free.
It can also hard reset the Wizard and the Universal (and all Wm2003 devices).

Hey VJ
Perfect, its just what I was looking for and much more.
Thanks
Is there a list of apps that are perfectly compatible with the ameo?
I have tried a few apps and utils such as wisbar advance and spb mobile shell but they seem to have side-effects which alter the the ameo's reliability.
I even had an issue where the camera wouldnt load while spb mobile shell was installed.
So if anybody knows what software best compliment the ameo please let me know!

on my side I am happy with the test with Pocket Informant, pocket slides.
Bad expertise with pocket hack master. Times bad expertise with the print software coming with the device, I think is due the wifi is a little special on athena.
Resco explorer last version creates problems -I think is due too much options on network- managing files in other network computers.
Expensepro runs fine, except the problem with the screen if you rotate it.
About hw, I own a jabra bt8010 and no caller id support, I think is a problem of the bluetooth stack that jetware doesn't solve.

I have manage to quite a lot of programs working, yes some have bug and side effect, but there is always a solution to it. Pocket hack master works too. Actually you will find most of the good application out there works fine with Ameo, there is only very small amount that doesn't work
functional applications...
The following is a list of programs that I've installed on my x7500 which haven't yeilded any problems:
- Vito Audio Notes
- CorePlayer
- PocketXMRadio
- SlingPlayer Mobile
- IM+
- pRSSreader
- Sniffi
- WiFiFoFum2
- WM6 Remote Desktop
- Google Maps (just haven't gotten the GPS to work on it)
- Microsoft Live Search
- Pocket Informant
- eWallet
- AE Button Plus
- Check Notifications (I think this caused ActiveSync to stop working so I would caution against installing this)
- Magic Button
- Resco File Explorer/RegistryAddon/FTP Addon
- SmallMenu Plus
- Total Commander
- VGAToggle (buggy aesthetics but no system issues as of yet)
- VJBigPhoner
- Gentimer (just installed and testing still)
Edit #1: Just installed 'HIMILAYA WM2k5 Screen Rotate Fix v1.1' which so far works as expected.
Let me know if you need specific versions for any listed items.

maybe you made some special thing, maybe related other sw in your athena, with it. In my case extend aditional seconds the startup and frozen it. Tested all the possible configurations of speed and memory.
For me this program doesn't provide any help on speed or performance except nice rings when start -if doesn't frozen-. Previously, in my universal it was great, but not in x7500, but obviously is my case...

mine hasn't that option (or I can't find it). It is htc x7500 and local language. Rom is 1.25.412.2. I think it manages automatically the performance under battery and not needed aditional magmt.

Don't think so. Let me know if you're interested in knowing the version of any app in particular.
Wifi troubles
I don't know if this is your case but since I replaced the jasjar with HTC I have at home wifi network access problems some times. It navigates by internet without issues but when I try to access to other pc disks shared times it sees and times not.
Some infraestructure -pc, access points, ..., no changes-
with the last version of resco explorer was impossible to share information with other pc, with the previous one is intermitent. And same problem with the software for printing in the network, times see the shared resources and times not.

I'm using Resco Explorer 2005 and having no problems using WLAN shared drive etc (other than it not remembering the password for my NAS but it always did that.)
Phoenix Studio 1.1 works, but you need to make sure you're in portrait mode and exit it before attaching the keyboard, otherwise touchscreen input goes a bit wrong and you'll have to exit the application by starting another one and going to the "Running Programs" panel.
Sounds good, too, with the speakers in the Ameo!
Pocket Commodore Plus4 works quite nicely on it for BASIC, but the emulation drops to cripplingly slow speeds when any input is used - shameful for what should be one of the fastest devices on the market.
Hi,
I was wondering if any one has tried using a palm emulator on their Shift and if so which program. I tried running a program called styleTap on the Win Mobile side but o luck and the program just freezes up when opened. I am looking to run programs from a treo 680 which is one of the latest Palm software if I am not mistaken. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It's possible
StyleTab (shareware) works on the Shift!
To get it working you need QuickMenu (free) once.
Install QuickMenu
Install StyleTab and YOU CAN'T REACH OK on the nag screen!
Open QuickMenu and turn screen right.
The StyleTab screen is completely displayed.
Goto Optons-display size and choose original.
Restart StyleMenu
Turn screen back to narmal orientation
(Delete QuickMenu)
Install all your palm apps but hacks.
Enjoy your original size IIIc on this big screen.
Start paying after 14 days...
re
Thanks man I am going to try this and post comments.
Turn screen BEFORE installing StyleTab or the WM side freezes...
But after a restart from Vista side you can still turn the page and start StyleTab again.
I like it as most programs work (NO hacks, NO DA files)
re
I tried this and now I can see the OK button but for some reason I cannot click on it?? any thoughts? Also which version are you using?
I use the pocket pc version from http://www.styletap.com/downloads.php
The smartphone version uses keys only!
At the moment I'm reinventing my IIIc on the Shift...
re
Hi,
That is the one I am using, but not able to do anything, for some reason the alignment is off too. If i want to click register I need to click way higher than where the actual button is. What other software do you have installed? any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Since the device does not come with the utility, I've looking for a program who could switch the screen from landscape to the right 90ยบ, but every programs I find work bad.
The firs attempt was with rotate 1.1. But it doesn't work. I tried every ppc programs, and the only who worked was Nyditot. But the problem with this is that is neccesary to reset to aply the configuration and to apply to the hole system, and I only want it to play my old games and some other stuff, to rotate just the aplication.
Do you know any other program working on an ipaq 914?
You can use xTask - LINK - it's task manager, but it also does have rotate function.

I know, but it does not work on the Ipaq 914. In fact I don't know any program which works without reboot.
Does anyone know any kind of editing tool to set the startup of a program changing the orientation, or something like that?
Anything to make my old programs work should be welcome
Any news about this?
