cant load xbar on my spv c500

[Guest bigneeker]

hey

i have a dopod 565 (spv c500 clone) and i cant seem to be able to start the xbat program. i loaded the default cab file and it installed but i cant seem to open the program. i checked the site and it says its mapped to the voice recorder key but my dopod doenst have a voice recorder key and when i press the camera key it just opens up the camera function.

i tried going into into file explorer manually and loading it from there and that didnt work either.

any help would be appreciated, i am new to the samrtphone world.

thanks

The 2003 OS version was mapped to the Action key instead of the camera button.

Make sure you've got a shortcut to xBar in your Start Up folder so you don't have to load it manually every time.

People have had issues with xBar on the C500 though and I don't use it anymore.

i tried using the action button but that just opens up programs and shortcuts on the menu. i tried pressing it and holding it and that didnt work either.

i am confused as to how this program works.

sorry for all the newbie questions but im coming from a ppc which is more user friendly.

thanks

Sorry I can't be more help, but you could have a look at the manual here ^_^

Hi bigneeker. ^_^

How about iMenu?

That's what I use, along with Binary's Task Manager.

Love it ^_^

hey

i like the look of xbar more, it seems to have more information and looks nicer.

did anyone manage to get it to work on a dopod 565 (spv c500)?

also imenu seems slow on my phone.

xbar1 wont work on the c500, but xbar2 will (since xbar1 uses the record button which c500 doesnt have and xbar2 uses action key).

Have a look here if you are considering buying xbar2 (it explains why its not free and xbar1 is):
