If you ever delete the launcher from your palm by mistake. Do a soft reset, go to the buttons in prefs and chose to map calc or some hard key to jackflash or a file manager to move launcher to ram and use jackflash to put it back.

I know people don't back up flash files so this trick comes in handy more often than it should.

Better tip:

Don't delete the launcher, and always back up. ;)

From Zlauncher's help doc:

"DO NOT remove the system launcher from ROM, or you will DESTROY your handheld!"

Seems wise enough...

I think nevarDeath of CS did that on his NR70V and had to take it back to the store. Ouch...That is like flushing money.

How do you remove the kinoma, real player and photos from T3's ROM?

AcidImage is better than Photos IMO

Ehm..just so that I never do such a silly thing could you please tell me the name of the Palm OS launcher?

I thought I'd already cancelled it once (after demoing LauncherZ and then trying to uninstall it via Filez I got a system crash that required a Hard Reset on my TE))

Thanks,
Gnam

I think I'm missing something, what is the value currently of deleteing stuff from ROM ( if you can) on a T3..
With a T3 version of Jack Flash/Sprat I can see it but right now?
