Guest Tech Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) or are you trying to hide from the truth? is my app that bad? :) most of the people from here (and other places) Actually email me saying its awesome - so whats your excuse? :) you should have a backup ROM image where after the hard reset, stick the backup ROM and it restores itself - like a ghost image. including in this image will be the WMP Remote app ;) yes - shameless self promotion i have nothing better to do today as I am just relaxing - well, maybe i should cash in that postal order Edited June 16, 2006 by Tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bongo_king Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Device I-mate SP5 - only a 512m Storage Card sadly though Apps - Smart Explorer - PocketMusic - I guess they won't make another version of this now because of WMP10, IMHO it is infinitely better (in terms of playlists, moving items around adding folders etc - actually choosing what to listen to) - WiFiFoFum - this is a wonderful thing - SM5torage - utterly indispensible - suddenly you can transfer stuff onto computers without ActiveSynch Games - I just have GnuBoy & some ROMS installed, they really don't make em like they used to... I also always keep a pair of decent sennheiser headphones with a 2.5->3.5m adaptor & a usb lead on my person at all times (almost) I tend to have a couple of other things installed and 'on probation' at any one time, but these are the things I'd definitely install after a hard reboot.
