    Common Palm folders
    /PALM/Launcher/
    /PALM/
    /PALM/Programs/

    PiDirect/MemPlug directories
    /PALM/PiDirect/

  • I am having problems installing to a Tungsten T5 or Treo 650.
    There have been some problems with the Palm Treo 650 and Tungsten T5, these devices use a new non-volatile file system (NVFS), which ensures that data will not be erased when battery power runs out. This new data storage method saves information in larger blocks, consuming more memory than in previous devices, also Palm OS applications with large data files can have HotSync problems on these devices.
    These issues can result in problematic installs, either memory capacity related or a failure to install some files.
    If you have one of these devices we recommend you install the latest patch / ROM release from PalmOne which resolves many problems on these devices, details below:

  • My Tungsten T3 does not display the maps in 320x480.
    To use the Tungsten T3 full 320x480 screen with ourapplication, you may need to download and install these two Palm system updates:
    AppSlipRotate.prc
    StatusBarLib.prc

    The reason:
    The Palm Tungsten T3 has a retractable "virtual" graffiti area that allows applications to use the full 320x480 pixel screen. The Palm OS standard for accessing this area was still being defined when the T3 first shipped, so Palm included non-standard support for this feature. A Tungsten T3 right out of the box doesn't have full, standard support for the retractable graffiti area.
    It is possible that future Tungsten T3 devices will ship with these updated files already installed, if Tube is already working OK (in other words, you can minimize the graffiti area and view full-screen maps), then you don't need to install these files. Also if you have already installed these two files to get some other software to work correctly on your T3, do not re-install them again.

    Click here
    to download the update from our web site.
    Download and HotSync these two .prc files to your T3. After the HotSync, your T3 will tell you to reset, this should not cause any data loss.
