Only I installed it but it does not seem to work. All I get is: An error massage cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found.

Here is a very good addon for the builtin file explorer called File Explorer Extension, adds some needed functions for free:

QUOTE(Blossom @ Aug 28 2008, 12:52) i experienced a lot of difficulties with ftouch sl using omnia. does anyone also the same problem with me? Yeah my Omnia doesnt work very well with the ftouchsl, however once i set an array of exceptions for all touch flow style apps that samsung added (i.e. phone book, main menu etc...) it worked much better, i then proceeded to remove all but one side gesture, the (the right side) as it seems to be the only gesture that works and that is intemitent. It seems that only having the right gesture increases my chances lol, the corner gestures didnt work at all... also the scroll bar removal feature (list/menu navigation) is intimitent... im gonna put it on my boss' tytn 2 and to see if it works well on that. it would be nice to have a fully functioning version on my omnia, i will report this to the people at touchflow and see what they have to say about this. |

QUOTE(k.shinra @ Aug 29 2008, 20:48) i dont understand... what update? Sorry i mean Samsung implemented their own kind of touch flow in the HH update, which was the only reason i got TouchFlow as i really wanted to be able to drag the menus about with a finger |

Is there an application that can disconnect GPRS/EDGE/3G connection with a single button when you are connected?
If so please advise as I used to kill the active connection on my TyTn by pressing the end button. |
