Re: SK Tools Update Thread
 

Right on!!!!!'

Late,
Coz

1 Question :scratch: I can't wait till I am no longer a newb. I saw all the different versions on this site just download one that is for WM5 Pocket PC Correct.

You have a 700w/wx right? Make sure you download the WM5 QVGA version :wink:

Is this a free update for registered owners?

Yes it is.

Do I just download trial and it updates automatically or uninstall then install?

I installed the new one over the old one, told me an old version was installed and that it would remove it. It did, it installes succesfully and I didn't even have to re-register.

Yup it worked thanx for the info. :D

New version released!

Thanks for the link. :)

I wonder when they will make a WM6 version?

Anyone if this version at least functions on WM6?

wow, sktools gets updated like every month!
its gotta be a pain having to upgrade all the time..

im still using memaid and am pondering whether or not to give sk a try..

I have both and use SK Tools all the time as opposed to MemMaid that maybe I could have done without.

SKTools 3.1.8!

QVGA WM5/6 CAB: http://s-k-tools.com/sktools/SKTools5q.ZIP

what 's the different between this new version (SKTools 3.1.8 ) and Sktoolslite?

Thanks!

N.P.

SK Tools Lite is for WM5 Smartphone and WM6 Standard (smartphone equivalent) devices, so it may not run properly on some devices. Same as SK Tools Standard.

SK Tools is the only one for touchscreen devices.

Is SK better than spb backup?

Uhmm I have not tried the backup portion of SK Tools. I use Spb for my backups, and SK to clean up and tweak my system.

SK does more than backup while Spb only backs up. I think that's why I prefer Spb for backups, because it was designed only for that.

I dL SKTool Lite somewhere on this forum, it appears to be a freeware. Do you think SKTool Lite would be adequate enough for my Mougl? (I just need something to clean my ppc)

Thank!

-N.P.

No. As said, SK Tools lite is designed for Smartphones and the Mogul is a Pocket PC (using the old names of WM for better understanding).

It may work, but not fully as it's not designed for that type of device.

Thanks son. Yee

SKTools 3.1.11 (WM5/WM6 QVGA) zipped CAB file

this tools looks great, i see all kind of registry tweaks that could speed up my 6700........but have no idea what values to change them to. I've tried searching, does anyone have a guide or a link to one. Thanks in advance

Pibe38:

What's the best way to set SKTools to clean & tweak my phone daily and reclaim RAM at least twice a day automatically?

How do you have yours set up?

Thanks for the info.

Shaun

I run SKTools manually... I know there are 2 shortcuts for reclaiming RAM and a quick clean besides the actual application.

You would have to find some scheduler that would run these shortcuts when you want. Not 100% if there's such a scheduler for PPCs though.

I was looking at the program and they have a automatic function, but I wasnt sure how to set it.

Playing with it now.

SKTools V4.1 Update Available!
 

Not sure if anyone had posted but if not...

Anyone check out the update for SKTools? I upgraded yesterday from 3.1 to 4.1 and it's very nice. Has a new tweaks menu, .cabs manager, uninstaller plus more features...

http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_products.html

I have had SKTools since my first PDA and it is always the first app to get installed!

This update requires additional payment?
 

Last year I purchased a license for version 3. Today I installed v.4, it is in demo mode. I looked on their website, it stated this upgrade will cost more. This really rubs me the wrong way, as when I originally bought it they stated all updates would be free.

A mention of a "special price" appears on the FAQ page but the links to Handango, Pocketgear, etc only list the full price of the version 4.

What was your experience??

Thanks!!

Where did you purchase it from? I purchased it from Handango and there's a link for upgrades, click on it and enter the e-mail you used to purchase it. It will then tell you it has been identified as having purchased a previous version and give you access to the upgrade price.

Most programs offer free upgrades within the same major upgrades, for example, from 3.1 to 3.9 - however, major upgrades like from 3.x to 4.x require an upgrade price. This is the case with most apps.

Pockgear is missing the link
 

I got it from Pocketgear. No upgrade link available. I did look on Handango today, there was indeed an upgrade link. Since I did not purchase it from them, I did not think the upgrade link would work, but I tried it and it did.

I found a coupon "yearendsale" which when used on Handango, gives a 20% discount. I do realize a lot of software does not upgrade major revisions for free (some do, though!) and I do remember that when I first got SK tools.

No big deal, its a good set of tools and was worth the upgrade.

Well I had to send off an email to Handango because it couldn't find my purchase of SKTool from their site. Hopefully they will get back to me soon, I want to use that coupon for the 20% off. :D

Go to the SK Tools' devs' site and contact them, that's how I found out about the Handango upgrade link, they are very helpful and will answer very promptly.

I found the upgrade link on the Handango site, thats the link I am having trouble with. I just sent an email from the SKTools site. Lets see who chimes in first. :)
