A5 Another way to manage the schedule and tasks
One of the reasons that the Palm have become famous, is a powerful information management software, simple and easy to use on a daily basis. However, the way they show is that our planning is, and perhaps some users would prefer more options to customize. That is where A5, a free program that uses direct databases Calendar and Tasks applications, to show our information in a different way. Even includes the option to save our newspaper, where writing down what we want in a new page every day.
An overview of the week
A5 allows us to use two new views: grid and ready, very useful to see at once all the tasks scheduled for this week, this month, and so on. Rather than focus on the tasks, the goal is to see when each is scheduled to make a composition of its distribution throughout the election period.
The views and grid list
By using data directly from standard applications for Palm, which change with one of them will be reflected in the other. Besides using the categories that we have created, and can be edited seamlessly. But A5 has added a high degree of customization for hearings. By filters can choose the category, priority, or the type of event to show, in addition to choose whether to show the task list or not. Elelgir You can also view the current day, seven days ahead, the current week, the current month, and so on. A5 allows us to define five different views (in addition to the grid in sight), so that each one to customize our liking.
Aesthetics is also highly customizable, with an option to define the text color and fund inflows, according to their category, and even assign icons. You can also assign a special appearance to the tasks that begin with a few specific characters (which in the documentation called the prefix). The result is a list much more visual.
Assigning colors and icons to categories
Although A5 operates as an independent program, there are two hacks who replaced the main view or weekly calendar of Palm, in view of the A5. If User these hacks on an apparatus with Palmer 5, we will have to use YAHM (manager hacks compatible with this version of the operating system). For older appliances, any manager worth hacks.
The price to pay for so many possibilities for design, is a panel configuration with a large number of options. Fortunately available a user manual which explains one to one, as well as a quick guide. As a final figure, commenting that the program is available in many languages, including Spanish and Catalan.

It seems to me that what had already seen in my many searches of software for Palm, but have not tried it yet… seems to be a good alternative (especially for Free) to Agendus, but I only storm a doubt: We've tried in Your TE2? to find out how stable is
Greetings!
Like Lithium I also had what looked at one of my many searches across the network, but never thought until a programme of free data management was so powerful is so good that I am going to give the unstable air Agendus thanks to an excellent Mark recommendation.
What I used in my E2, so do not worry, is like a dream
I have not tested the hacks, but if problems arise and already is uninstalled. Remember to use YAHM Palmer 5.
I do not like the Agendus, soil flee programs that consume too much RAM, and the A5 is quite the opposite. In addition had more features than I needed.
The sight of the week is great, and icons and colors, with a little time, give it a very attractive appearance. We must take a little time learning how to customize it, but ultimately worthwhile.
It looks great, but at first I had problems resets for installing programs on the treo, I already have that time has become very stable, I understand that for Palm OS 5.x are not recommended the hacks, which may run in this application a Treo 650?
The hacks are completely optional, you just have to use them if you want the program is integrated with the schedule, and meustre in certain views.
I have not installed the hacks, I use the program independently and is very stable. To avoid arriesgarte, make a backup first NVBackup with your Treo, and if it becomes unstable with the program, retrieve the backup and will be as if he had never installed.

Still that soon after writing the commentary on your blog, I saw the program in Palm Freeware. That catch, but then you pillé
I realized right away the joke because I already passing through the same thing and that is to break the screen is no longer anything, and I read in your palm has a picture on the graffiti, there is no doubt that as a joke is good greetings.
Excellent post… and Etoy half of the boring way to show the timetable for the Palm… it is perhaps time to test this
