You got plenty Z launcher Skins Here

I deleted the ClieDemo files but not sure how to get rid of the directory itself... Edit: Nevermind on the second one.  I figured out how to do it in Zlauncher (Click on the folder itself to select and highlight, then use delete feature).

Good thread btw!

Warfare Inc. works on my UX. I put the following 3 files:

Warfare Incorporated.prc

htdata824.pdb

HTSFX.pdb

to /Palm/Programs/AliasExt/ and it works for me.

 

Just a side note, those Astraware games with music databases can also load from MemoryStick/Internal Media.

What is the difference between doing this AliasExt thing and putting .prc program files in the /Palm/Launcher folder? For as long as I've owned Clies (since 760C), I've just been putting whatever apps I could into the /Palm/Launcher folder and never really got into the usage of PowerRun. Is this AliasExt workaround meant only for programs you can't run from the /Palm/Launcher folder on either the MS or internal memory? Or is it better somehow than putting programs in /Palm/Launcher?

Although I am not so sure about it, I don't think you can hotsync to that folder. I've read somewhere before that you might be able to use DataImport to gain access to the internal vms, yet I haven't tried that nor can I confirm that it's possible. I just copy over to a designated folder in MS, then use McFile & copy the file from MS over to AliasExt folder.

PS. c0mm0n, I've tried to put ZLauncher in AliasExt folder, it seems to have a few soft-resets every once in a while, have you tried it? Also since ZLauncher is always running, I think it should be put back into RAM, because putting it in vms will have slower launch up, with the "waiting..." msg on the screen, also it seems to drain battery much faster. Just from my experience playing around with it today. Any ideas or suggestions?

As mentioned by another member, this method isn't documented, I think Sony might prefer to save themselves some work at customer service/ support department.

c0mm0n Registered User Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Paris, France Posts: 962	-> Eddy, no i haven't try this and for the reasons u've given won't try it ; i dont want to get rid off all my apps ram but since i find the aliasext to be very good in managing files i've used it for most of my apps, especially the big ones indeed and all the games.

duraace Registered User Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Vancouver Posts: 761	While the apps can go to Aliaext, what about the .pdp files? Can/should they go there too, or should they stay/go to launcher?

c0mm0n Registered User Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Paris, France Posts: 962	aliasext doesn't need launcher dir Just create a folder for your pgrm in aliasext put all the files in it, soft reset if u copy them in vms and u got them

duraace Registered User Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Vancouver Posts: 761	So this works with user created subdirs in aliasext? Soft reset, and the UX will find them?
