iLauncher 3.0 released

**Malatesta** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-18-2006, 03:14 PM

I've been generally a fan of iLauncher and the new 3.0 version adds some really cool functionality.

My only issue is sometimes under the "Settings" when I'm configuring, it'll lock up (on my 700wx). But once it's set it works very well. I was even able to UPX everything (cutting it's 2mb size in half basically) without any side-effects (the crashing issue was before I Upx'd).

Anyways, here's what's changed:

What?s new in iLauncher 3?

1. Task Manager and Real ?X? close button

2. New Special Functions
iLauncher includes a new set of special shortcuts to make it easier to control many functions of your Pocket PC. These built-in special functions include:

* Screen Capture
* Screen Rotation
* Power Off
* Soft-Reset
* iLauncher Tab Menu (Display a menu containing all the shortcuts in an iLauncher tab).
* Place a phone call (Phone edition devices only)
* Send an SMS message (Phone edition devices only)

3. Safe Mode Protection <--Very Nice
5. Improved top bar shortcut support
6. Quick Launch
7. Hardware OK button replacement <--Very nice
8. WM5 softkey customization
9. Hidden Tabs
10. Easier special tabs configuration
11. Replace shortcut
12. Improved Image Handling
13. Improved support for square devices and landscape mode
14. Scrolling and new height system

its actually pretty good...well worth the 14.95...if you have to pay for it!

This looks like a good app. But is it worth the $14.95?

I think it is. They do offer a trial period to try it out. Also their is a simular app that is free (cLaunch) which the basics work good, but I found iLauncher easier to use, customize, and has more features.

Seemed like very cool program but it keeps crashing my phone and had to soft reset every time I sent to settings, so I unstalled it.

It also put a weird line above the start bar... it was like a bad graphic or something.

I think that "weird" line is a battery meter

Yes it is a battery meter. Most users get rid of it, including my self.

Hahaha, really? Weird though, it covered 3/4 of the top of my screen and I only had like 20% left (my wx had been running for 2 days w/o charging).

Still, I couldn't take the freezing every time I went to settings...

if you have an earlier version of ilaucher, pocketweather, pocketbreeze, or contactbreeze you can download the software and register it with your name and reg. code from your older version. make sure that you write it down first. this method works for most spb apps also. just make sure that you write the regristration code from your prior app down first and register it with the same name.
