Description:

  • Switch5 is a PalmOS 5 app which provides a simple way to switch between recently used applications.
  • Think of it as a PalmOS 5 version of SwitchHack (I''m not in any way affiliated with SwitchHack... other than being a registered user).

Instructions:

  • A stroke from the Home/Applications circle to the Menu circle causes the last previously used application to be launched.
  • A stroke from the Menu circle to the Home/Applications circle causes a list of the most recently used applications (maximum of ten) to appear. You then have ten seconds to tap on the application you want launched.

Notes:

  • Use at your own risk. It works for me on my Zire 71 but your mileage may vary :)
  • If a menu, popup list, or dialog box is active then the list of the most recently used applications will not appear.
  • The list of the most recently used applications is not backed up during HotSync and will be cleared by a reset.
  • Switch5 will need to be manually launched (one time only) if the app was copied from an expansion card.
  • Switch5 only works for PalmOS 5.
  • Switch5 does not support apps on external memory cards. Use TealAlias pr PowerRun to support apps on external memory cards.
  • Tungsten T3 is only supported in portrait mode.
