What a nice guy came to rate the thread ;

I just found some more infos on palminfocenter whereit'd been posted earlier :

Essentially, this app remaps the TH55's buttons and it's just about usable, although the on-screen text is garbage.

1. When the camera lens cover is closed, the shutter release button can be used as a power button -- first tick box in the app.
2. The Voice Rec button can be remapped as a HotSync button -- doubly useful, since there's no cradle button to initiate a HotSync and I keep hitting Voice Rec instead of power (which is where #1 helps too) -- second tick box in the app. There's a choice of cable HotSync or Mobile too.
3. There's an option that allows the 4th TH55 button to be remapped but I can't figure out how this works. No biggie, I have it mapped to HiLauncher anyway.
4. There seems to be an option to display a warning if you power off with the lens cover open. Can't figure this one out either though.

This is a nifty little app that's worth it for 1. and 2. alone, I think, and you don't need to understand Japanese to use these bits. An English version would be nice though

[contempt]

Thanks for the heads up. Feature 1 is definitely great. Now I'm all excited about potentially new apps.

autotranslation doesn't help much....

New software "THe Go! Go! " was exhibited. (04.2.20)
It is the utility (although it is a convenient accessories grade ....) of CLIE PEG-TH55 exclusive use.

[Rokugo]

Hi, my first post here (been lurking for the past couple of months).

I did a quick translation of the menu, thought it might be useful:

and the Setup options :

[Tarugo]

looks useful. english version???

[zeke87]

i think Rokugo just posted a translation....

welcome Rokugo :)

[jumpyg]

Hmm, the links to the pics Rokugo posted are both dead. Can you repost them or maybe another of our Japanese friends can download the app and translate. Thanks!

[rokugo]

My webservice provider is screwing up again...

Here's a direct attachment:

[rokugo]

And :

[rldunn]

Rokugo, thanks so much for those screenshots!! This is so useful!!

Can you translate the first menu for us? Seems like the top 5 things don't do anything, but I want to make sure of that. Thanks again!!

[rokugo]

rldunn: you're right, the first menu doesn't do anything.
Its actually the JP version of a standard Palm "Edit" menu, ie Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All, etc. Notice the familiar shortcut strokes to the right of each item?

Chime-san (the programmer) probably just forgot to delete it.

[outie]

I think this app is updated. I now have 2 more check boxes. Can anyone translate the new version? Thanks.

[jumpyg]

What is the effect of "warn me when I forget to close the lens cover"? I assume this means when you switch the power off. It doesn't appear to work for me.

[outie]

I think this app screwed up the camera application after a soft reset. When I slide the camera lens cover open I get an exception and have to reset. After removing this app it still happened.

[Unregistered]

You can choose an alarm sound from the second drop-down menu -- this plays when you power off with the lens open

[rokugo]

Wow, version 1.1 is even better.

This is the translated list of changes (my Sensei will kill me for converting all the active verbs to passive... ) :

- The "Data Assistant" button (the rightmost hardware button) can now be used to power on.
(note: requires soft reset)

- The Clie Organiser applications have now been added to The "Data Assistant" button assignment list.

- The extended push of the "Capture" button can now be assigned a function.
With this function enabled, an extended push will switch off the unit, and a short push can be assigned as either the "JogDial push" or the "Back" button.

- The internal handling of the "Capture" button's power-off function has been fine-tuned.

And the revised Main menu (no changes to the Setup menu):

As mentioned by Unregistered, you get a warning sound whenever you switch the unit off (using the "proper" power button of course) or exit the Clie Camera app without closing the lens cover.
And you select the warning sound from the Setup menu.

Works fine on mine.

Did you enable the new"Power on" option for the Data Assistant button? If you did, there should have been a pop-up menu to prompt you to reset the unit, and you're supposed to click on the left button.

[jumpyg]

Okay, I didn't realize I had to set a sound in the second menu to get the lens cover warning to work. That is pretty cool. I was finding myself leaving it open, so that is a nice feature to have. It would be nice to only have it beap once, but who am I to complain? Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know if an English version is forthcoming?

[rldunn]

Thanks again rokugo!!

jumpyg, I would imagine an English version is coming, since he has English versions of his other apps. Maybe when he quits developing the Japanese version, he'll do the translation.

By the way, this is the same guy who made HRCaptDA, which I still think is the best and easiest screen capture app out there.

[jumpyg]

Great, I'll look forward to it.

Does HRCaptDA work on the TH55?

[rldunn]

Yes, HRCaptDA works great on the TH.

[jumpyg]

Thanks. What DA launcher do you use?

[rldunn]

I use the ZLauncher QuickLaunch list in conjunction with SelectDA. I put SelectDA in my QL list, and when you select it, it displays a list of all your DAs. That way, I don't have to use a lot of slots in the QL list for all of my DAs.

You're welcome :)
This is such a great app, I thought it was a shame to let a little language barrier get in the way.

Oh, and my screencaps were actually taken with HRCaptDA. Yup, its the best out there.

[andrewcoffin]

Just a word of caution. After installing this, I got caught in a soft reset loop and had to eventually do a hard reset.

[andrewcoffin]

Shoot...even the hard reset didn't fix the problem, once i synced again. Can anyone help me with this? I can get to my apps by doing a warm reset (which blanks the graffiti area), but even going back into TheGoGo and unchecking all of the boxes doesn't help.

Can someone who knows Japanese translate the menus (not just the main screens) in TheGoGo? Perhaps these would help...

[outie]

a hard reset should fix the problem. You might need to remove the conflicting apps (thegogo?) from your Backup folder.

When you hard reset and then hotsync the conflicting apps just get restored back to your device so you'd end up with the problem.

[andrewcoffin]

I tried this. Even removing TheGoGo from my back up folder and then resyncing doesn't solve the problem...

[enderenya]

well, don't sync again after you hard reset. Have you backed it up on a memory stick?
I never trust HotSync to do it's job for restoring because it doesn't store my address/datebook/todo/memo databases as pdb files.

If you've backed it up on your stick, I would restore all files but the THgogo app and any other trash

[andrewcoffin]

I even tried a hard reset and hotsync to my home PC, which I had not synced with since installing TheGoGo. I STILL get the same error.

I'm kicking myself for installing this dang app now!

[outie]

You probably have some other softwares conflicts. Try renaming the Backup folder to something else and then sync after hard reset. This way you should have a clean setup.

As I've explained earlier to rldunn, the menu is just the Japanese equivalent of a standard Palm "Edit" menu. It doesnt do anything here.

But for the sake of completeness, here's the translation:


EDIT

Undo /U
Cut /X
Copy /C
Paste /P
Select All /S
-------------
Keyboard /K
Graffiti help /G
Register a word...
Look up Dictionary

[rldunn]

rokugo, what's on the 2nd column of the menu? One of the settings is for the alarm sound, right, but I don't know what the other setting is for.

[rokugo]

Oh...thats just the "About" page.
No settings there.

So nothing to translate, other than the copyright notice (which I'm not gonna touch since I'm no expert) on the left button:

[rokugo]

Oh and all the images I posted here are copyright the original author.

And as a big caveat, please do a full backup using the MS Backup utility, before installing TheGoGo.

[jumpyg]

Has anybody gotten THeGoGo to initiate a WIRELESS sync using the voice recorder button? It keeps trying to do a cable sync, even when it's not connected to the cable.

[polimedia]

Yes I do, don't ask me how as doing things with thegogo is a big guess. Very useful app BTW, I always hated the slider power-on switch on my NX73 now it is much more confortable. My tip is just keep trying.

[Icthus]

Originally posted by jumpyg

Mine does.

I love the alarm for the lens cover too. I had this on, but it wasn't making any sound. Then I changed the alarm sound to one that actually makes noise and it works great.

[jumpyg]

I got it to sync wireless using the voice recorder button. My problem turned out to be related to the HotSync Manager, not THeGoGo.

[rolando]

Looks like version 1.15 is out.

[jumpyg]

I installed the newest version. Unfortunately, now there are untranslated items!

On the settings screen you get to from the drop-down menu, there is an option to disable THeGoGo when Picsel Viewer is launched, which is supposed to make loading Picsel faster. This does seem to work. Before, it consistently took 15 seconds to load Picsel, with the box checked, it takes 8 seconds. What I don't understand is what the drop-down menu with "6/8/10/12" options does. Any ideas?

rokugo, could you please provide a translation? Thanks a lot! I can't wait till this (hopefully) gets released in English.

[CMC]

This application really screws up PicselViewer. I discovered if you start PV too fast right after another application you get a soft reset, though after GO GO has been completely uninstalled by UninstallManager.

So I ended up keeping 1.1 (1.2 is worse) and just start PV slower.

Anyone has this problem and fix?

cmc

[CMC]

Sorry I meant 1.15 is worse...

[rokugo]

OK, this is the complete set of screencaps, with all relevant items translated, for version 1.15.

This time I've added my own notes, and a numbering sequence, to match the screens to the buttons/settings. These are in red text.

btw when you click "I agree"" you get a big "ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU" screen, then the main menu.

[rokugo]

The main menu :

[rokugo]

The soft reset pop-up screen:

[rokugo]

Tap the titlebar to get the Option menu:

(don't bother with the EDIT menu, it doesnt do anything)

[rokugo]

The Setup menu:

[rokugo]

And lastly:

[jumpyg]

Thanks rokugo, that's very helpful!

[rldunn]

rokugo, you keep outdoing yourself!! Thanks so much!!

[krypticide]

Thanks a lot for the translations! Waiting for the next version to fix the voice rec. slider issue. Can't set it such that a long hold does hotsync, but short slide still does voice rec.

[wwc]

1. Thank you so much for translating this app.

2. What is the yellow area with the yellow, red and blue tabs near the bottom of your screen. I don't seem to have anything like that on my TH55.

And if the answer to this quesiton is painfully obvious to everyother person in the world - my apologies.

[krypticide]

Decuma input, but that's probably the Japanese version.

[krypticide]

Looks like it's now updated to 1.18.

[doboy]

what does that have? Man, can't keep track of all the updates. :)

[jumpyg]

This is what the Babel Fish translation says:
Version 1.18 (04.2.28)
Functional off of main software at the time of Picsel Viewer use, it was not only when starting, it made to when the ending of Picsel Viewer
For this modification, appointment of functional off time of the setting picture was lost
Now someone translate that into real English!

[krypticide]

Looks like the program is disabled the entire time that Picsel Viewer is run. Also, seems to be the last update for a while, as he is occupied with other things at the moment. Any real translators here?

[rokugo]

Originally posted by doboy

Neither can I..lol.

This one is minor though, just the option to disable all functions while using Picsel Viewer. Not much improvement, so I'm sticking to v1.15.

And yes, the author says he probably won't be having any version ups for a while, since he's busy with his regular job, as well as preparing documents for his Income Tax returns.. :)


Again for the sake of completeness:

1. You're most welcome.

2. Yes, that's Decuma Japanese. The yellow area is for inputting Kanji characters (ideograms borrowed from the Chinese). The red tab switches to Kana input (Japanese alphabets) and the blue tab is for inputting Roman alphabets and numerals. (Japanese handwriting in daily usage requires all three sets of characters)
So far Decuma is the most "elegant" program of its kind out there.

Sorry for going OT, just wanted to share my fascination with the language :)

[CMC]

Ok. Let's give it a try...I mean the newest version.

[Icthus]

I've gone back to version 1.1. I had 1.15 installed, and I tried to open Clie FIles and it crashed. I tried it again and it crashed again. It was working after I installed 1.15, but then all of a sudden it started crashing every time I tried to open it. At the same time I noticed Clie FIles wouldn't run, my fourth "hard-wired" button, which I have set to DocsToGo, would also cause a crash. I though it might be THeGoGo, so I deleted it, reinstalled 1.1, did a soft reset, and all was good to go again.
When 1.18 was released I installed it - same thing. Everything is peachy for a while, and then all of a sudden trying to open Clie FIles causes a crash, pushing the DocsToGo button causes a crash, and now I discover that I can't open McPhling - it just hangs saying "please wait...". I had just upgraded McPhling so I thought maybe it was the problem. I finally got it to run, and when I selected the "VFS Support" box, it hung on the "Please wait" thing again. After the reset I deleted THeGoGo and everything worked great. I put 1.1 back on and everyting seems to be the way it should be. I almost never use Picsel Viewer anyway, so I'll stick with this version for a while.

(OT, the newest McPhling (5.4) is pretty cool - you can call up the MRU list from the command bar now. Very useful to me since I don't have to bring the graffiti up in order to see the MRU.)

[polimedia]

Same here hard reset after 1.18. I think 1.1 just does what it is supposed to do change the way the camera button acts!!! That's it I will keep it it as it is and forget upgrades, don't want to mess with Picscel viewer....

[jumpyg]

I got 1.18 to work just fine, FWIW.

[doboy]

using 1.15 with no problems.

[spchaser]

Is 1.18 flawless? I was using the English translated version (i don't know which software version that one was), and it kept crashing the palm when i did a soft reset.

[Punky]

1.18 is working fine for me- I am grateful to this developer!

[spchaser]

is there an english translated version of v1.18?

[PublicBenemy]

Hi there,

this is my very first post in this group, and I'm really glad having found that rich information source here. That's the perfect way to tweak and power-up my new TH-55 baby :-)

To get back to the topic -- yes, there is an English version existing already:

see
http://www.cliesource.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=45293

and
http://forum.palmislife.com/viewthread.php?tid=27354&fpage=1

For luck I stumbled over that topic a few days ago, otherwise I would have proposed just to get in contact with that maicca guy for an convenient translation. Maybe that's still an interesting option?



Kind regards,
Ben.

[rolando]

I've been using the English 1.18 version since the day it came out. No crashes or problems whatsoever.

Rolando

[cnycompguy]

same here, no problems what so ever.
love the alarm when i leave the lens cover open.

Me too! Is essential to TH55.

[Bilbo]

Can't find GoGo, where can I download the english version from. All the links don't go anywhere.....

[Unregistered]

try PublicBenemy´s links...

[rolando]

Actually, I have one issue. When I press and hold the capture button to power off, sometimes it powers right back on. Not a big deal.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Rolando

[hamsammich]

I really want to try this app, because I hate the power-on slider. But, how many have had problems with hard resets with 1.18? I really don't want to get into that whole can o' worms if it's unstable. Don't get me wrong, I applaud the developer for the app in general, but I need to know if it's a "danger" to my TH55 in terms of making apps not work and having to hard reset to get things back to normal.
Thanks!

:)

[mdunker]

Running English version 1.18 on my TH55. Absolutely no problems, no resets, soft or hard.

[DanT]

No problem for me either. The 1.18 works great.

[AlohaDan]

I'm denied access whenever I click on the screen shot jpg files. I'm a registered user and my account has been activated. Is this a private forum "space"? PM'd the admin to see if he can grant me access. Any help would be appreciated.

Come to think of it, this is my FIRST post here ever but I've been "lurking" around and realized this is a great site.

Thanks and Aloha:cool:

[AlohaDan]

Never mind...please ignore my previous post. I found the thread that contains the english version of the TheGoGo utility.

[hamsammich]

Installed the "English" 1.18 version...ran it...couldn't read a word that was on the screen. It wasn't even Japanese...just jibberish. When I tapped on the icon for the first time, there were two "choice" boxes to choose from, but I had no idea what they said.
:(

[DanT]

Just tap on the agree button and move on.

[hamsammich]

Ok, I'm assuming the top button is "agree"? I mean, I don't read jibberish.

[enderenya]

<laugh> well, at least you have a 50/50 shot at it. Unfortunately if you press the wrong one, your clie blows up. <smirk>

[BobHarris]

If you do not see "Agree" in English, then you did not download the translated version.

[valodya]

Even so, I still have no idea what I agreed to. :)

[hamsammich]

I downloaded the version that was linked to in this forum. I'll try again...

[DanT]

This palmislife.com (http://forum.palmislife.com/viewthread.php?tid=27354&fpage=1) is the site I download THe Go Go! 1.18 English version from. See the bottom attachment of jja post, THeUtil_en.zip

Read the rest of the thread! :rolleyes:

TheGoGo will:
1. alert you to the lens cover being left open.
2. Turn the voice recorder button into a sync button
3. Turn the shutter button into a power button
4. Remap the fourth hard button on the bottom of the TH55
5. Other neat stuff

[kbox]

It's a great app!

[joejoe]

Worth it for the lens feature alone!

[galahad]

For some reason I cannot get the gogo to do a local hotsync it willl try to do a modem hotsync but nothing at all happens if I set it to do a local hot sync

[DanT]

Did you put a check on the 'Local USB' of HotSync in PC side, tap on 'Local' and select Cradle/Cable on the dropdown list on TH55 side?

[galahad]

Yep sure did. It is not activating the hotsync on the palm side will hot sync normally Though. I htink it has something to do with calling the hotsync directly as in not having to press the hotsync button on the clie. Also does not do ihot synd with the zlauncher extension as well

[galahad]

just worked ou the problem fo some reason had to reopen The gogo and then exit now all works

[Eungang]

The link provided for THeUtil English version in this thread does not seem to work for me. Would someone mind sending a copy to me? bilfer4 at netzero dot com . Many thanks!
