Running applications from MS

[ccie]

Can anyone tell me how I can run applications from the MS. I know how to move them there, however they never show up on the launcher to run.

Assuming you are using OS 4.xx or higher, the apps must reside in the /Palm/Launcher folder on the MS, to be recognized by a launcher.

it's in the category for your memory card. On mine it's titled "T16". I fell into the trap of looking for new apps I'd installed in the "Unfiled" category before I realised what was going on.

Good point. I should have mentioned this.

You can also buy third party replacement launchers that will let you place memory stick applications in the category of your choice. Here's a chart with different launcher features, including Categorize Memory Card Apps:http://www.launchplug.com/Launcher_chart.html

There are some good reviews on various launchers on this site, PDA Avenue (www.pdaavenue.com), and spradlin's site (launchplug.com).

Yeah, Launchers are the way to go...........

It's a pain in the rear to have to switch to the "t16" category to launch an application.

Also, there are hacks that allow you to customize launches based to Grafitti strokes....

I am so happy that a thread like this already exists. At least I'm not the only one.

Questions though - I contacted sony and found out most of the above.

Protected Applications (like Simcity, etc). How do I get them to launch off the Memory stick? I dont really care about the data files (like with Dark Haven, which is a killer game BTW) being in internal memory, but I'd like to get all the applications on the stick. I got the 128 Mb and it's time to fill the damn thing up!
