Utility 'Preferences' enhanced for Palm
Our good MrAnderson has not failed to escape this press release that appeared a few days ago:
Thanks to TamsPalm I know that Dmitry Grinberg of PalmPowerUps rewritten the application of the Palm Preferences, and the release under GPL v3, with source code included.
This unofficial update from Palm, supports several features such as support for icons, custom categories, and several more, which in theory improves the old Preferences application of the Palm. This update can be installed on all those devices with PalmOS 5.x.
The new 'Preferences' with new features
In the original article of TamsPalm we can find the link to download the program.
MrAnderson agree with the importance of Dimitry has released the source code, so that those who want to make some kind of development for PalmOS with code samples of the best quality. In fact, this was one of the main causes of interest should arise the free software movement:
Free in Free Software is referring to freedom, not price. Having been used in this meaning since the 80s [...] In particular, four freedoms define Free Software:
- The freedom to run the program, for any purpose.
- The freedom to study how the program works, and adapt it to your needs.
- The freedom to redistributive copies so you can help your neighbor.
- The freedom to improve the program, and release your improvements to the public, so that the whole community benefits.
Not everyone is an equally good programmer in all fields. Some people do not know how to program at all. This freedom allows those who do not have the time or skills to solve a problem indirectly to access the freedom to modify. This can be done for a charge.

After that improves my knowledge in php and css I would like to learn how to make applications on PalmOS, which is why I find that reading is very good to learn codes from other sources who know how to do things. Dmitry Grande.
I have tried it on my TX and has not been installed, I had problems in synch, luckily had done a backup so that everything to normal, I imagine that over time some adventurous independent developers may be improving this application, not why desmerezco to Dmitry, a genius, Greetings
The application is still under development, will take time until it is usable. And yet, we'll see how teams will be compatible. We will have to follow the trail
I hope that soon, for the purposes of this horrible default.
