Not much progress but there was a change in direction

I still think apps should have been made so that you only have to send 1 file to your calc, like TI flash apps. Else, that kinda defeats the point of making it easier for people. At least, program files are 1 single files in most cases.

? you only have to send one file to the calc just before that you have to unzip it.

Even though it cuts off at the end all you have to do is shown in the video (apparently I don't know how to explain stuff )

That's the problem: We have to unzip the file. HP should make it so zip files can be sent as well. Also, even when we do it right like in your video, sometimes it will still not work (eg some files, such as the icon, will be missing until the 3rd try).

Not only that, but apps exiting prematurely due to lack of RAM without any error message is a much larger issue. With regular programs, it is much less frequent it seems.


What HP should do is get rid of the connectivity kit and allow people to transfer files the same way as you would do on a SD card.

If you are getting your reasoning from MinePrime that was my fault (I did not store any of the GROBs back to 1x1 so that took up all the RAM )

The Icon was also my fault (in one release while I was figuring out the App thing still I put the Icon in the wrong folder xD)

I had issues installing most apps, though, even before custom icon support was added. HP just made it much trickier than TI-84+ 8xk files.

[alexgt]

oh, I see I was on the understanding that they made it quite easy to install apps.

Well, for now I have decided to get rid of the sub-forum for this, as this project is nowhere near the top of my priority list and it's useless to keep a sub-forum if there won't be any progress in forever. Sorry for those who were expecting updates soon.
