AGFS

AGFS ("AvantGo Full Screen") is a tiny utility (3kb) that automatically hides the title/menu bar when AvantGo starts up, instead of having to press the "full screen" button each time. Compatible (and tested) with PalmOS 5 and AvantGo versions 5.7 and 6. Release 1.0.0 (08/14/2006) AGFS has become incompatible with the latest versions of AvantGo for PalmOS and is consequently retired and no more available for download.

NetSelDA

NetSelDA is a DA ('Desk Accessory') that lets you quickly open (or close) a network connection, using the service of your choice. As for any DA, NetSelDA requires a 'DA Launcher' to run. My favorite is PetitLaunch. Release 1.0.1 (12/17/2006) Download Please read the readme.txt included in the zip before using NetSelDA.

SOnTime

SOnTime replaces the (rather useless) KeyGuard alert on your Treo with a clock, customized with your favorite colors. The normal KeyGuard behavior (device locking / unlocking) is not changed. This utility works only on Treo devices with PalmOS 5 (Treo 600 or later) and when KeyGuard is activated. Version 1.0.1 (01/28/2007) Download Please read the readme.txt included in the zip before using SOnTime.

Information for developers

After programming all these tools (and a few others) over the years, I have learned a few interesting techniques about PalmOS development. Since they may be useful to other developers, I maintain a Tips & Tricks page where you will find information on poorly documented features.
